I first met them at an adoption event where they partnered with the Martinez animal shelter. They gave complimentary baths to all the shelter pups at the event. Even my foster pup- Susannah.

While I haven't used their services, I did have a terrible interaction with one of their walkers. I…read morelive in an apartment complex in Lafayette. While reversing out of my parking spot, a van came at me at a high speed without showing any signs of slowing down, intermittently looking down as if he were on his phone. When I attempted to move out of their way, they jerked their van to go around me, almost hitting my car in the process and without slowing down. When going to speak with this driver, he was getting a dog from a neighbors apartment. I said "excuse me" multiple times to get his attention while walking towards him, but he ignored me, dragging this poor doodle by his neck and collar to get to the van quicker. When I finally reached him, I got a quick "what" while basically throwing this dog into a van filled with other dogs unrestrained and jumping around. I told him he shouldn't be on his phone and needs to slow down when driving through a residential lot. He wouldn't look at me, but said he wasn't on his phone. I told him either way, he was going entirely too fast. He jumped in the drivers seat and slammed the door, still not looking at me. So I raised my voice saying it was incredibly unsafe how fast he was going and that he almost hit my car. Still ignoring me, he again sped off to get out of our apartment complex. If you use this service, beware. Based on photos, this may be the business owner, Matt. He was in a huge rush, was speeding and jerking the car around, not kind when walking this dog to his van, yanked him in, and then sped off again. With the dogs being unrestrained and his reckless driving, that could lead to injuries to those dogs. And to top it all off, he was INCREDIBLY rude after almost causing an accident! A little niceness and an apology would have gone a long way. Now, I will make sure none of my loved ones will ever use this service.

As soon as he was able we dropped him off for his free training consult, that's right, I said FREE. Who does that? Well, Karin does. I cannot express how much Goose has learned while attending day training with Karin, not to mention the fact that she has been amazing at helping me and my partner navigate through some rough patches in his normal behavioral development from puppy to adolescent. I love that I get updates throughout the day with pictures and the activities/training that are being done and to see Goose enjoying his time with dog friends too! Every time we go to drop off Goose is beside himself with excitement to see Karin, which is a clear indicator to me that he too approves and enjoys his time spent there. The long and short of it is, I would recommend Karin, and do, to anyone who is looking for an amazing dog trainer who has compassion, patience, and an amazing understanding of dog behavior!!

He's done such a good job that we passed all three scents in our very first ORT! All this combined has allowed Sydney and I to bond and have more fun together.
