I had my beloved dog, Leesi, there for training a 4 years ago. Things were going well until she stopped eating. I removed her 2 weeks before the paid tuition. She died of pancreatic cancer.Fast forward to a year ago, after this program said I could use my last 2 paid weeks in the future. I rescued another dog who needed training for pulling and aggression towards other dogs. I opted to use my prior 2 weeks and pay an additional 1k to train my new dog. Everything was set for early January of 2025, but my mom died on the 16th and I couldn't keep the schedule. When I began attempting to contact Daniel in March, he was MIA. I felt bad for him and thought there must have been a tragedy in his family. Not so, he is just dodging me. I dont care about the lost 2 weeks. I just want my 1k back. Shame on you. I would not refer you to anyone. read more

I had high hopes when I first started working with this trainer, but unfortunately my experience turned out to be incredibly frustrating and disappointing. Back in March, I was told that my dog Shadow could be scheduled for a refresher in June due to one of the trainers resigning. I understood the situation and was more than willing to wait. I even responded promptly, confirming that June would work and asking to be placed on the calendar. As June approached, I reached out again -- multiple times -- to follow up and get a specific date set. My messages were never responded to. It's now the end of June. At this point, I just want my money back so I can take my dog elsewhere to someone who's reliable and professional the least you can do is communicate and issue a refund. read more

We rescued Lilac our 2 year old GSD this past August. There was no history on her and she had been at the shelter in for 2 months. She loves people and other dogs. She is very sweet but had jumping issues, is high energy, and had lots of anxiety. She would follow us every minute of the day. She would walk and pull us and wouldn't even walk in a straight line. Lilac was with Daniel and his team for 4 weeks. They are miracle workers. She is much more confident. She follows commands. She clearly has a lot less anxiety. She walks with us. Daniel & his wife sent great updates with pictures and videos. He spent plenty of time with us at pick up going over everything so we can continue working with her at home. We are grateful that after lots of research we found Daniel and his team. read more

Daniel turned my out of control pup to a more mannered pupper! Koda was very reactive, pulled on his leash when walking, doesn't really pay attention. Left him with Daniel for 2 weeks and man. I don't know, did I get the right dog?? Daniel always said "they will never come back a perfect dog" you can never expect a perfect dog but Koda had a big improvement. No longer pulls with me or my mom!!! On walks, listens better on command, doesn't jump on people anymore, and doesn't get much reaction when other dogs are walking past or at his favorite park! I call that a huge success!! After the 2 weeks, you would meet up with Daniel and he would show you and work with you how to continue the training at home now. And now I'm working on my part on continuing Koda training at home now! Thank you! read more

As someone else has commented, we sent our new rescue dog, Chloe, to be trained at this business in the summer of 2024 and while communication during her $4,000 6 week board and train was inconsistent, we were forgiving and after getting her home were largely pleased. Prior to her coming home and again at the drop off the owner did express that while they did have her for a full 6 weeks, it was his opinion that she really still needed another couple of weeks to be at the place they would expect after a month and a half. Because she had been a rescue and had already bounced around at least 3 different families in a 6 month period we decided to wait until spring of this year to follow up and complete her training. It has now been 3 weeks of trying to get in touch with the owners via text messages, emails, and telephone calls and cannot get anywhere. I have heard that they recently have shut down the businesses though (maybe) are still in the dog training field but have taken it in a "different direction?" What was a fairly positive experience with a hopeful relationship continuing has become very troubled and unprofessional. I now sit staring at my credit card receipt as well as my signed contract (which states all 2-6 week courses include "lifetime refresher guarantees") and am debating my next steps. I am curious how many other former clients are out there with this promise of continuing support and now seemingly left with no answers? read more

We left our 6 month old Pup with Daniel and his company for their 2 week board and train. Daniel and his trainers took amazing care of our little guy and he came back a new pup! They constantly sent updates with pictures and videos of his development. Amazing work! Daniel answered all of our questions we had. We truly appreciate his honesty. We highly recommend Paws and Stay K9 Training for all board and training. read more

Sent my dog here and really enjoyed the people and my dog had minor improvements given he is really stubborn. The owners emphasized that I would get my moneys worth and they would train him until they felt like I did. We planned a date for him to go back a second round as they had suggested, but when that date arrived they stopped answering my texts. It's been 2 weeks and I still haven't heard from them. This is really inconvenient because I planned my next month thinking my dog would be there and now he isn't. Overall the communication was really lacking throughout the process and unprofessional. read more

Daniel and his team trained our two large breed, high energy 1.5 year old puppies. If we could give higher than a five star review we would! Five stars doesn't do them justice for what they accomplished with our dogs. In our experience he was professional, caring, and knowledgeable of dog behavior. We saw great improvement after the two week training program. After their two week training course, he followed up to make sure the dogs were continuing to follow their commands and met up with us for a brush up course. He not only trained our dogs, but helped us as dog parents. He trained our dogs without breaking their spirits. During their stay at training camp he gave us frequent text and video updates as to their progress. He was very honest, not sugar coating the dogs training progress. He was a straight shooter telling us what was going well and what they needed continued work on. He's committed to our dogs success. It helped us out tremendously that he came to the Bay Area for pick up and drop off. After extensive research on dog training programs, sending our dogs to Paws and Stay K9 Training turned out to be the best decision we could have made. We were hesitant to send our dogs to stay with someone we didn't know, but it turned out to be such a positive experience for our dogs and ourselves! We highly recommend Paws and Stay K9 Training for any training or boarding you may need! read more

Very effective training! My husky mix did a 3 week board & train session, and came back a confident and happy girl! I can now take her on walks through the neighborhood, and even let her off leash in the local park without any issues or problems. We are very happy clients!! read more

So grateful for this amazing training! My little guy is walking like a champ and can now socialize with other dogs without being inappropriate. He's has such good manners now! The trainers loved on our dog like he was his own. Training is guaranteed for life! He loaded in and out of the car like a pro. And was relaxed during the drive which in his 6 years is a first. read more

Horrible experience in Fresno, CA.! Paid $4000 to have our dog do a 6 week board and train. After only five days in the care of the owner Daniel. We were called on a Saturday and told there was a supposed sewage bust at his facility back on Thursday and that he needed to return our dog back to us because several others dogs in his care had gotten sick. Our dog was returned that Saturday sick with diarrhea and soon after vomiting. Medical bills cost another $400. The owner Daniel stated he would pay for the vet bill. When I sent Daniel a copy of the bill. Daniel stated "that's not worms so did not happen here (board and train). Lab work revealed my dog had gotten a parasite. After we requested a partial refund for the days our dog was not there when we had not heard from Daniel after several days. Daniel chose to hide behind his contract, instead of doing the right thing. He did offer a half assed option of training our dog at his house. However by that point we did not feel safe leaving our dog in Daniel's care for any longer. read more

I had been searching for a trainer online and found Paws & Stay on Yelp. I just want to say what an absolute decent, selfless and professional Daniel is. He came by and showed me a few important things and told me that my puppy didn't to be board and trained. That I should do what I'm doing now and if I need him to board and train her in three months or so, he would. He literally told me to save my money, that he's not about. During my meeting with him, I could tell he loves what he does and he is a WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AS A TRAINER AND CARES ABOUT OUT PETS. Just a fantastic guy. Thank you so much David. I hope to see you again. read more

Sent my two Doberman for the two week board and train. I couldn't imagine how changed my four legged children came back. I am now able to get things done around the house without having to yell or fuss with them. Being consistent with the training they got and the one on one we got from Daniel it has really helped us especially with the eldest Doberman which was aggressive with the neighbors' dogs. She will test us at times but with the corrections we were taught she stops very quickly. We really appreciate the time take. To train both our pups and also the time you took to help us with all the questions and concerns we had once they came home and I do have to say the continued reaching out to make sure we don't have any concerns or issues. We have to say we left them in good hands and we were also sent pics and videos on a daily basis with a brief message about how their day was. If I could I would give them more than 5 stars, they did show lots of love for my pups and that's what makes them the best. I didn't have to worry that they were mistreated like many horror stories out there! Great job at what Daniel and his team does! Very grateful to have found you guys! read more

Daniel and his team are absolutely INCREDIBLE! They are so knowledgeable and did a phenomenal job with training my dog.

Daniel came through in the clutch to help out with last minute vacation plans before Christmas 2022. He boarded 4 dogs, including two American Bulldogs and 2 English Bulldogs. He sent videos and photos of the dogs while in his care and they looked super happy. I live 15 minutes south of San Francisco. Daniel drove up to pick up my dogs in the City and dropped them off for me in the City. I can't say enough about how appreciative I am of his services. If I ever need my dogs cared for again, I will board them with Daniel. Thank you! read more

Daniel is the best! I left my 10 month old Malinois with Daniel for the a 2 week board and train. She came back like a machine, I was nervous at first to leave a Malinois with any trainer but Daniel has worked with them in the past and I believe he has a Dutch Shepherd as well. Cleo was slightly reactive, distracted and pulled hard on leashes. Two weeks later I was able to walk her around San Francisco with no leash. If you want to make sure you leave your dog with the right Person. Its Daniel. read more

Professional, patient, and dedicated. I have seen a day and night difference in my dog. He now sits properly, stays down, heals, places, and is not distracted. Really appreciate the ease of the onboarding process, daily photo and video updates, and 2-3 hours of training us when delivering the dog. I don't leave many reviews, but I would have left ten stars here if I could have. read more

I cannot rave enough about how astonishing Daniel and his team are! I brought my two Great Dane sisters (3 years old) to him in hopes that he could create miracles. They had sever aggression towards other dogs, especially the 2 together on top of their size. I couldnt have them around other dogs at all due to fear of them attacking them and me not being strong enough to hold them back. As much as they love me I had allowed them to "own me" as well, in otherwards they didnt listen to much I asked of them. With in days he sent me photos and videos of my big babies listening to his commands as well as them in the presnce of other dogs as if they were all puppy friends forever. I was baffled. I still am astounded by what his training has done for my girls and would recommend Paws and Stay K9 training to anyone with any breed of any age pup. I am forever grateful for finding them! Its worth every penny and more! read more
