We were unsure which program to choose but went with the off-leash program, and it was the best decision. Mack went from a high-energy puppy who struggled with listening, jumping, and leash pulling to a well-mannered, confident dog. With a one-year-old at home, having hands-free control over our large dog has been life-changing. The program's results have been night and day for our family. You can tell Joshua and Kayla truly care for and bond with every dog that comes through their programs, which made us feel so comfortable trusting them with Mack. An added bonus is their boarding option for program graduates, which includes a training refresh. It's a relief knowing we can leave Mack with people we trust while we're away. We can't recommend Joshua, Kayla, and Concierge K-9 Training enough. Their expertise and care have truly transformed our lives--and Mack's!

She's very reliable, resourceful, and most importantly knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. She's the dog whisperer. My puppy Victory literally worships the ground Victoria walks on. If you are serious about having your dog trained well hire Victoria. If you're a first time dog owner, buy 12 sessions. We've come a long way from where we started. Victory and I went from the puppy struggles of her crying relentlessly in her crate to me now being able to be in the same room while she's in her crate and not crying. The struggles of leash training to now being able to eat out on the patio at restaurants. Investing in your dogs training is so important. I promise you you won't be disappointed by hiring Victoria as your dog trainer.

Julie Forbes, the Sensitive Dog trainer saved us! Our 11 month old adopted puppy, Haggis was…read moreadorable, but soon became known in the neighborhood as Haggis the Horrible. He devolved into a frenzy of barking when any person, dog, bike, car, or even a garbage can was in his field of view. My vet recommended Ahimsa, which was absolutely no help. Haggis failed their Growley Class and thus was barred from any further classes. I did one on one training with them that was a complete waste of time and left poor little Haggis catatonic with fear. I never returned. The wonderful people at Portland Dachshund Rescue, where we adopted Haggis from, encouraged me to find a trainer who had worked with Dachshunds before, and or really understood how to help sensitive dogs. My hunt for a new trainer took over a year! But it was well worth the time and energy. When I contacted Julie I was hopeless and a bit frantic myself. We had to cancel vacations because poor Haggis couldn't tolerate anyone in the house except me and my husband. Julie was terrific! She talked me down off the imaginary cliff I was on and we signed up for the initial lessons. I warned her Haggis would bark at her the entire time, which he pretty much did. But Julie ignored him and kept talking to us over his barking. Haggis finally wore himself out and curled up at my feet throwing a stink-eye at Julie occasionally to reminder her he was watching her. Then a remarkable thing happened. Julie taught us a calming game for Haggis. She had us lead him through the basics while she continued to ignore his chuffs. After a few trials of learning the game, Haggis completely forgot about Julie. He was absorbed in the sniff game, which utilized all dachshunds's super skill: their nose! Haggis ran through the game eager to do it again and again. He approached Julie without barking and looked up at her wanting to play *with* her, instead. At the end of the lesson he jumped up on her couch and sat next to her, content with his new friend. Each class with Julie provided a similar breakthrough for Haggis. At the second class Haggis, bound out of the car, ran up to Julies classroom and barked to be let in. Haggis's affection never wavered for Julie, an neither did ours. WE learned valuable tools and correct training techniques to help Haggis overcome his fear aggression. Within months, Haggis stopped barking at people and let them approach to say hi. Dogs were still something he preferred to keep across the street from him, but soon he stopped barking like a frenzied Doberman ready to attack (I had two Dobermans and they were the sweetest boys!). I am grateful and astonished to say that with Julie's training and guidance, Haggis has no problem letting dogs pass him on the sidewalk and has made a few walking buddies in our neighborhood. Haggis, once the Horrible, has turned into Haggis the Adorable! And Julie Forbes deserves 100% of the credit. We are indebted to her forever!!!!

You name it I tried it. I knew in my heart Pirate was trainable. My husband said "no more, we will just keep him away from people", :0 I decided maybe we needed a dog Psychologist or behaviorist. So I started looking online. Most of the reviews were about putting dogs on drugs. Well I had done that before and Pirate bit our neighbor. As it turns out he was more aggressive on them. Then I saw an ad for "Sensitive Dog". One particular review was so heartfelt and it sounded like all my issues with Pirate, plus all the reviews were great. My husband was willing to do one last try. Julie at Sensitive dog was everything Pirate and I needed.!!!! The first appointment was so positive. It was 2 1/2 hours observing Pirate, talking to me at length about all our issues with him. She was a nice mix of reward based training as well as consequential training. It's such a great mix and you can tell that she really cares about you and your dog. It may seem like a lot of money, but it's really not, because you will get so many valuable lessons and solutions. The one that stands out most in my mind, is that dogs need mental stimulation. Julie gave me lots of ways to help him get his mind working. When I got home, for a week, I tried some of her suggestions for mental games. It was amazing, he got calmer and less reactive. That's just one example of our success. The most important one was that he became much better with our grand kids! We have lots of ways now to get him to be safe with them. If you're reading this and can relate, go ahead and make the appointment you'll be so glad you did! Julie is a natural and Pirate adores her!

After the second one, she didn't pull on her leash and would walk right next to me. Now I can take her anywhere with me, off leash or on, and I get so many compliments on her behavior. It's amazing to be able to take my best friend with me anywhere, any time, and not worry about her jumping on people or whining or barking and being nervous or being aggressive towards other dogs. Danielle also recently trained my boyfriend's dog. She is a labmix named Marley, and she used to bark all the time when we were at home or in the car, and she would run off for hours on end if she got off leash for any reason. Marley did a board-and-train with Danielle and spent a week with Danielle and her dogs. She came back a totally different dog, behavior-wise! Still a super sweet, excited dog who loves hunting rabbits, but now she can go pretty much anywhere with us. We take her hiking and mountain biking every weekend, and she stays close to us when she's off leash. It's such a relief to be able to walk her and take her out without constantly worrying about her running off. It's also so nice and relaxing to be able to take her on car rides or sit at home and watch TV or eat dinner without her barking the entire time, like she used to. I would recommend Danielle to anyone who is looking to train their dog. The prices are reasonable and well worth it! Any dog I get in the future will be trained by Danielle if I can help it :)

If they would have answered their phone after calling 3 times I could have at least been informed of the status of my pet. I tried to respond to the text they sent me at 1 pm and I got a response that I cannot send text messages to that number. Normally it takes 2-3 hours and that would be fine if I could have communicated with them. I am waiting in the parking lot for the them to finish grooming. The groomer Stephanie could have been more understanding. It was as if she was uncomfortable with me checking in on the status of my pet. I will not be returning to this location.

But thanks for canceling a little over an hour beforehand same day. Thanks for also not getting my dog rebooked on next available. Instead he was just skipped and shit out of luck. So fast forward to 3/31/23. I call again to see about getting my dog groomed. Apparently Shelby doesn't want to groom my dog because I was annoyed at how they handled his cancelation in December. The salon manager apparently can't get my dog for WEEKS. Lol really WEEKS?! Just say you don't want to groom my dog then. The amount of horrible customer service is terrible. Reason why I went here was because it's close to home and my dog actually really likes Shelby. But to blow off your loyal customers and say too bad so sad is utterly disrespectful. I hope no one goes here moving forward and maybe this place will get better at customer service, communication, and accountability.
