He now has a very solid foundation onto which I can continue to build at home. I was initially considering another training place before I found Sierra dogs. Come to find out, not all trainers are created equal, as they were going to use a shock collar on my puppy. I couldn't even believe it! Eden and her employee Jess use a positive training approach....encouraging good behavior with rewards and praise and discouraging the unwanted behaviors by re-focusing the dog back into a desirable behavior. Because Blue lived with her at her clean, puppy-safe home, she not only taught him the basics but also more advanced training like recall and "leave it". She incorporated day-to-day living into his training, teaching him the skills needed to be a generally well behaved 7 month old puppy that actually respects the other small dogs in our household! Her large fenced property allowed for plenty of appropriate play time and socializing with the other Sierra dogs in her care including her own beautiful huskies...Luna, Vesta and Francis. When it was time for Blue to come home, Eden spent a lot of time going over everything and showing us how to continue on with his training at home. I highly recommend Sierra Dogs and will be taking Blue back for boarding the next time we go out of town.

We can't help but smile and chuckle while viewing online photos of our pup running at top speed with her dog buddies or taking a break on the deck. Although we miss being apart from our wonderful companion, we are comforted knowing that our dog is supervised while happily frolicking around with dog friends and provided with professional, skilled, and nurturing care. When reunited with our dog, she retains all skills we have instilled and is clean and well-behaved. We are very thankful for Eden and her caring team!

She was lonely and bored at the big box place off Hwy 50 as there was no human interaction; the staff loved her there but per policy they only interacted with the problem dogs.

Loba & I absolutely adore Stephanie!

Such a wonderful first time experience at the Little Lion House for our kitty! Cristine is a true…read morecat lover. She has created a really cat friendly kitty hotel in a brand new, clean, climate controlled [space]. There are individual houses for the boarders, plus ample space for climbing, watching birds and critters out the windows. If desired, the cats are allowed to interact with each other during Cristine's supervised play time. Our "Two" had never been boarded before, and was unsurprisingly hesitant at first, but as her week wore on I could tell by the regular photos that Cristine sent me that she was really relaxing and enjoying her vacation while we were away. We've already made reservations for her for our Fall trip in a few months. Little Lion House provides the kind of environment that we are happy to trust our kitty's care to. Thanks so much Cristine!!

When I retired in June 2009, I acquired a 9-week-old Labradoodle & named her Tess. Tess was my very…read morefirst dog & it was important to me that she be well-mannered & a pleasure to be around. The breeder from whom I purchased Tess recommended we take a beginning obedience class with Ericka! I signed up immediately! This began a string of fun & worthwhile classes...more obedience, tricks, walking out & about, rally, some agility, & lots of nosework. Nosework was so enjoyable for both me & Tess that we competed in several NACSW trials, successfully earning ribbons in Levels 1, 2, & 3. Unfortunately Tess passed in October 2021. I miss her everyday. She was a wonderful dog & great companion...thanks in large part to Ericka & her positive, effective training methods. I was very disappointed when Ericka left the Central Coast where I live & moved to Northern California.

I appreciated their transparency and taking the time to take us through the yard and kennel where the dogs spend some of their time. There was lots of shade and interesting niches for our dogs to explore. Alicia and Jeremy talked about the temperaments of the other dogs staying with ours. They seem to have it figured out as far as ensuring that all the dogs are on the same level so that there's no aggression. She reviewed our dogs' shot records. All of this really helped me get comfortable that our dogs were in good hands. We picked up our dogs after their stay without any hitch. If I may provide some constructive feedback it would be just that the place needs more $$$ investment and declutter, but they seem to be making improvements. Overall, we were happy with our dogs' care and we would bring them for boarding again.
