    Our pup after just 3 sessions with Dan.

    My boyfriend and I came to Dan with our pup who was both people and dog reactive. It was hard for her to be outside without seemingly reacting to EVERYTHING. It felt like she was going to be unable to ever overcome her fears... but we decided to come to Dan in hopes of being able to help her and gain some guidance. In just our FIRST session, Dan was able to allow us to gain more control and trust with not only our girl, but with us as well. He taught us how to handle her in any situation -- and since then, she has been able to go on walks, go on hikes, and even just go outside. As much as he helped our puppy, he helped us as well. She can now see people without reacting and can now handle seeing other dogs as well. We really owe it to Dan in changing me and our dog's lives. If you need help with these issues, Dan is your man. Thank you so much for everything!

    We're learning how to effectively socialize Beau

    I'm happy to update that Beau continues to improve. He's hardly reacting to dogs that we've bumped into on our walks, even dogs who bark at him. A combination of Dan's protocols and the pet corrector (air spray) over the last couple weeks has really transformed my dog, it's almost unbelievable. We're down to just verbal commands and he's able to keep his cool. He's also starting to look to us for direction once the "leave it" command is given. We just had one of the best walks ever and I had to jump on here to share that hard works pays off. It's so worth it.

    Iris on adoption day!

    I have tried several different trainers and Daniel is the first one I have felt really connected with my dog and myself. He offers patience, calmness, clear explanations of steps for each lesson. His support and encouraging remarks go far to the success of the class. Our dog Iris, is a rescue with major biting issues and I was seriously considering returning her. She really turned the corner with her fear filled aggressive ways after working with Daniel. The barking has diminished tremendously from all three dogs after implementing the tools provided by Daniel. No more biting and Iris has changed her response to strangers. We're keeping her! I would highly recommended meeting with Daniel to discuss your and your dog's needs. I'm so glad my daughter saw his sign on the side of his truck and asked for his card. I contacted Daniel and felt very much at ease during our conversation and felt his training sounded very reasonable.

    My husband and I worked with Dan with our two retired racing greyhounds on interaction with non greyhound breed dogs. Dan was very knowledgeable,professional and kind during our training sessions. He gave us wonderful tips / homework to do with our dogs between sessions. SUCCESS!,,,,, Our greys are now interacting very well with other breed dogs,large and small. We highly recommend Dan Ross for dog training. He is a true credit to his profession

    Dan is awesome! Before adopting Thunder, I called four or five different trainers that either didn't work with dog aggressive- dogs or weren't responsive. After four sessions, I feel much more confident in Thunder AND our communication. I now know how to set Thunder up for success and Dan gave us the tools to continue our training. Thanks OCK9!

    Thank you Dan for training my families Belgian Malinois. Cinnamon was a excellent dog when we met but now she is even better!

    I would highly recommend Dan for anyone looking for dog training. I have a 6 month old golden doodle who was not obedient at all. After just one session with Dan I saw a HUGE difference in my dog. He does a great job of teaching you during the sessions and also sets you up to successfully continue training on your own at home.

    So now he is claiming we have never met and I have something personal against him (which I find strange since he emailed me (click on the images, his message was written in the subject line and I'll attach our text history) also how can we have never met but simultaneously have a personal vendetta? I loath dishonesty and a man who impugns my honor for no other reason than his own pride being hurt.

    Socialized dog

    I was desperate with my chain dog Albert I got from the shelter and was ready to bring him back after 3 month. He never learnd how to communicate with other dogs. I took the 4-session training and after the third session he already showed great socializing skills with other dogs. Daniel is a very good trainer. We are so happy now.

    Happy pup, happy life!!

    I have a bulldog puppy. Yes he's very cute but looks are deceiving! My puppy is VERY stubborn!! He was jumping on everyone,, chewing on all of our remote controls and pretty much dominating the whole house. We decided to get some help with our little bully. I interviewed 3 different trainers with different styles of training. We chose Mr.Ross. From the very first day of training, Titus (our puppy) has literally turned a corner. He is more affectionate and becoming more obedient everyday. You can not go wrong with OCK-9 services. Daniel Ross has a very simplified and detailed program and it WORKS!! He is by far one of the best trainers out there!! I highly recommend him!

    Very untrusting face, we had to keep him away from my other dogs.

    I wanna be Daniel Ross when I grow up lol. I am in school for dog behavioral and dog training. I ended up with a Doberman Pinscher on my doorstep who was abused. I have four dogs of my own and trying to complete school. I took this 2 year old Dobie in, and decided I would try to train him and make him adoptable. Well this is a strong, fierce breed. After three days with this Dobie I knew I needed REAL help. I live in L.A. county, upon looking up dog trainers, Dan's business popped and the reviews were stellar. Long story short I hired Dan. The moment I met him he walked up my driveway with such confidence and power. My neighbor was standing outside when Dan walked up. We both stood there in aww of this dog trainer walking up to my house like he was the body guard of The President of The United States!!!!! I was impressed, I watch body language closely. He has worked two times so far with my Dobie, we have a ways to go because we are taking this Dobie ALL the way to service dog training. Dan explains what's going on, has patience with me, because I'm worn out with this beast of a dog. He has me do excersises again and again. I will post two pics to show how this Dobie has changed since meeting Daniel. Dan follows up with a recap e mail after every session. He gives me tools that he thinks I could use and tells me to pay him another time. That's someone who wants to bring dog and man together and harmony in the home. I feel safe with my dogs now that Daniel is in our lives. There's nothing he can't handle, he would just switch gears and try another way and wouldn't skip a beat. I've been a dog owner a long time. Thanks to Dan I'm going to keep this Dobermann who was beaten and mistreated for two years. It's work everyday to get him better, but Dan makes it easy and understandable. The confidence Dan puts out, ends up transferring to your dog. He teaches you how to be the pack leader. Dan will forever be my personal dog trainer, just look at the difference in these pictures of my Dobie before Dan, and after.

    I rescued a dog, half Border Collie, half Australian Cattle Dog. Shortly after we got her, she started showing signs of aggression - particularly towards men. She became very territorial and would growl at everyone who came to our house (except for my kids and me) and would try to bite men. I thought I was going to have to get rid of her because of her aggression. However, she is a rescue, and I wanted to give her every chance to stay in our home. I hired Dan based on his experience with herders and aggressive dogs. In one session, he showed me techniques to help her overcome her aggression, and it worked in just one session. Of course, she is a work in progress and still needs consistent training, but she has shown that she is very smart and eager to please. Thank you, Dan! I highly recommend OCK-9SERVICES to everyone.

    A very happy Bruno right after his 3rd session with Dan and his beautiful dogs!

We were so happy with everything that we decided to progress further by sending her to his 2 week boot camp at 16 months old. When I asked why such a good dog would go to boot camp, Vladae responded with, "Same reason that the smartest kids go to university, to become all they can be and hone their skills." That made sense to me! If it was any other boot camp I would have been nervous about my baby. I know how well Vladae treats his campers though and his focus on health and exercise. "Only the tired dog is the good dog" Thank you Vladae!

I assure you that I…read morewas a legitimate customer who genuinely shared my honest experience, which I believe is critical for other potential clients. While it's understandable to feel upset when receiving negative feedback, it's important to reflect on the reasons behind my review. I noticed that during our initial interaction, you made a comment about my background that many found to be a stereotypical and racist remark. In fact, I saw that you previously posted video footage of our encounter on your Instagram, but you removed it after receiving backlash for those comments. This indicates that others found your remarks concerning as well. I want to emphasize that my intention was never to harm your business; rather, it was to share my experience. Thankfully, I have since found another trainer who practices positive reinforcement, which aligns much better with my values and my dog's needs.

Dave was super patient and informative and gave us great tips for helping with Knox's energy and excitability. Not only that, he did a great job navigating our other dog, Maddox who was along for the ride and sometimes really interested in Dave's treats! Dave helped us with methods on how to help handle Knox's excitement when new people come into the house and to keep him calm when he sees dogs on walks and some things in-between, providing step-by-step instructions for ways we can work with him to get him to those calm places. We really liked his approach and the kindness he showed our dogs. So many places we looked at used electric collars and it was not something we wanted to do, so we were really happy when we found Dave!

He took time to get to know our family and tailor Hank's training to his personality and needs. He is incredibly knowledgeable and we have seen a huge improvement in our dog's behavior. Hanky is happier and now we know how to support him in order to avoid aggression. We also started taking both of our dogs to EveryDog Daycamp and it has been amazing to have a safe place where our dogs can play with other pups without me worrying something might happen to them. I can't recommend Dave and EveryDog enough!

You can tell the staff genuinely care about the dogs. They're so kind, attentive, and communicative. We loved receiving email updates with pictures throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind, especially since it was his first time. One of our favorite features is that they have cameras, so we could check in and watch Boba playing and having fun anytime. It made us feel really connected and reassured. A special shoutout to David. He was incredibly friendly and explained everything clearly, which made the whole process smooth and stress free. Overall, we felt so comfortable leaving Boba here, and it's clear he loved it too. We will definitely be bringing him back. Highly recommend!

That's what I was informed the day that he went for 4 hours and he only played 20 minutes . When the incident happened with diego being grabbed by a big dog, you guys gave it no importance, since that dog continued to be in open play ( I saw him on the camera all the time ) I am surprised the staff saw diego showing teeth, most of the staff there are on their phone all the time, not paying attention while they supposed to be "watching the dogs". With the exception of a couple of people that showed cared but they were not there when diego supposedly showed his teeth. Diego is a very lovable small dog, he is not a big vicious dog, and is very strange that at Paws Chateau he NEVER shows teeth or does any of the things you said, in fact, all of the staff there love Diego, and he has fun with the other dogs. In your daycare you guys never even checked to see if he was up to date with vaccines, just like you probably don't check anyone else's . So it surprises me that this facility says they care for the animals.The truth is that you are right, digo likes to cuddle or be loved and the staff was too busy on the phone to be paying attention to him.
