    My dog (black one) in training

    I am so happy that there is a company like Master Dog Training. I recently get a poppy and he is my first dog. I definitely overestimated the amount of work and dedications you need for a poppy. I quickly realized that I am not doing proper work: my poppy started to destroy the furniture, bite people, do not listen to my commands. Since he was growing fast, 51 lbs at 5 months, I needed a professional help. I decided to put him in 20 day boot camp for basic obedience and what a difference! Very professional and Max is the best trainer you can get. If you want results, do not waist your time and bring your dog to Master Dog. You will be happily surprised. I noticed tremendous difference in just 10 days. I just signed my dog for another 20 days of boot camp for family training. Very happy with services and the outcome of the training. Highly recommend this place. Felix

    I rescued a year old shepherd who was terrible on the leash and very difficult to control. I tried training her myself but soon realized I needed professional help. I researched several trainers in the area and saw that Master Dog had great reviews so I scheduled a consultation. I met with Maxim and Josh to go over my dogs behavioral issues. We spent over an hour discussing my concerns and overall goals. The assessment was professional and felt very thorough. I was able to tell right away that they were animal lovers which for me is very important. If I was going to leave my dog with someone, I wanted to make sure she was in good hands. My favorite part about Master Dog is the one on one time they spend with the owners. It was super easy to schedule a lesson with Max or one of the other trainers. Each lesson is about an hour. The trainer models everything for you and teaches you how to work with your dog when you're back at home. I just brought my dog home from her last day at camp and I'm so pleased with the progress she has made. She was amazing on the leash, calm in the car, and she listened to my every word. THANK YOU MASTER DOG! You are truly amazing.

Until recently, we had generally trusted them with his care. During his most recent stay, the facility sent us photos showing visible wounds and lesions on his face and around his lips. The condition looked concerning enough that we immediately picked him up on Wednesday, May 27, and took him to the veterinarian for evaluation. Based on veterinary assessment, it appears that he may have contracted ringworm during his stay. Ringworm is highly contagious between dogs and can also easily spread to humans. Before this incident, we had already prepaid for an additional nine nights of boarding. Given his condition and how contagious ringworm infections are, we felt it would be irresponsible to return him to topanga pet resort because he could easily expose other dogs and staff. We notified Topanga Pet Resort immediately and provided at least four days' notice that he would not be returning for the prepaid reservation. What has been disappointing (besides the fact that our dog contracted an infection while staying at their facility) is that, despite the circumstances, Topanga Pet Resort has refused to issue a refund for the prepaid stay. Even more concerning, they informed us they would still be willing to board him for those prepaid nights despite being aware of the suspected highly contagious infection. We do not believe that is in the best interest of the other dogs, their owners, or their staff. As longtime customers, we expected a more responsible and thoughtful response. Instead, we were left paying for services we could not reasonably use after our dog developed a condition during his stay there. If you're considering this place, I highly suggest that you ask questions about illness protocols, infection prevention measures, and refund policies before booking.

She also worked on his place command, and now he stays calmly on his bed until released, which has made having guests over so much easier. One of the things that really stood out was how Jennifer took the time to get to know us as well as our dog. She found out we have a horse background and used that to our advantage--explaining training techniques in ways that made total sense to us. She gave examples that tied into the horse world, which made the process so much more intuitive and familiar. She also helped address Maverick's excitement around other dogs, which stems from his strong herding instincts. With Jennifer's guidance, he's now calm and focused on us. Jennifer is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about setting both the dog and owner up for long-term success. We're so thankful for the transformation she helped us achieve with Maverick!

My English Mastiff, Lina, is a certified therapy dog, so her temperament, comfort, and well-being are incredibly important to me -- and Paradise Ranch has consistently exceeded expectations. Most recently, Lina stayed for a 9-day boarding visit, the longest she's ever been away from home. She came back relaxed, happy, and well cared for, with no soreness or stress -- which speaks volumes about the thoughtful, attentive care she receives. The staff truly knows the dogs, understands large breeds, and treats each one like family. The environment is calm, enriching, and well managed, and the communication always gives me complete peace of mind while I'm away. I am so grateful for the incredible team at Paradise Ranch and wouldn't trust anyone else with my dog. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional daycare and boarding.

My rescue boy was ready to play with my little girl, and the bully Westie, didn't attack, and tolerated her.

    I am here to update my review now that I've experienced the City Dog 1 and the Nature Dog 1…read moretraining classes offered by Canis Behavior. You can find all the classes that they offer on their website along with a calendar that shows approximately a month and a half in advance so you can plan around it. I initially wanted to start out with City Dog classes but they were full so I signed Cheska up for the Nature Dog class first. Brent teaches each series and he's very upbeat and makes all the classes fun and packed with knowledge. When I took Nature Dog, I will be honest I was really nervous and didn't believe that Cheska could be trusted on a long line away from me. During the first class we used 15 foot lines to practice and 15 feet felt sooooo far away to me. I'm looking back now laughing because now I'm using 50 feet of line at the park. In Nature dog you learn how to keep your dog within your radius, allowing them to sniff and explore within that radius while perfecting your dog's recall in this class as well as being able to tell them commands from afar and they follow it from farther than right next to your side. I feel like Cheska blossomed in this class and the trust between her and I sky rocketed. When I took City Dog class we met at the Topanga mall area and this is really where you get to train in real life scenarios. At this mall you've got people walking by, you've got little kids running at you from all directions, you've got other people with their dogs who are just hanging out in the area, and more. So many good learning experiences all in one place. Brent really does go through every possible scenario of what you should do if you run into these types of things as well as how to position your dog while in public. To top it all off, you will also learn using stairs, elevators and escalators with your dog! Seeing all our dogs going up one by one on the escalators is the cutest thing I've ever seen Lol. In the end, Nature Dog was my very favorite class and I believe Cheska excels in this. Being in Nature is what animals were made for. I am already signed up for Nature Dog 2 and can't wait. As soon as more City Dog series come out I will take those as well. With these classes Cheska is becoming well rounded and she isn't confused, she seems to understand the difference of scenarios when we go out. The goal has always been to be able to take her everywhere with me, and through the help of Brent, Hunter, and everyone else at Canis, this dream has come true!

I made an appointment and met with Brent and Kaitlyn and after an hour with them, I could tell it was the right fit. Romeo completed and graduated the 4 week day training program and just 6 months old! I appreciate everyone who works at Canis who we encountered every day, but I specifically want to give a HUGE shout out Romeo's trainer, Kaitlyn. I loved getting the text updates with pictures and just keeping me informed on how he's doing. If I noticed any bad habits at home, I would let Kaitlyn know and she instantly would work on it with him, as well as tell me how to continue the training process at home. We even discussed bringing Romeo back when he's a little older to complete 2 more weeks of training, which I will happily sign him up. He's also in the process of doing privates and the City Dog class to continue his training process. I also boarded Romeo for 4 nights during his training and everyone made it an easy and safe place to leave him while I was out of town. Overall, I would highly recommend Canis to anyone who is looking for dog training. Thank you to the entire Canis team!

From day one, Juan provided exceptional customer service. He was never pushy, took the time to explain the training process, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and was always easy to reach whenever I needed him. I ultimately chose the 5-week off-leash obedience program. As difficult as it was to leave my puppy for that long, it was absolutely worth it. My dog came home calmer, more confident, and with a much better understanding of commands such as stay, down, place, come, yes, and no. She listens significantly better and is clearly more focused and well-mannered. Oh and let me not forgot to mention she is now crate trained and potty trained. She now sleeps comfortably in her crate and understands that potty time happens outside. The facility itself is beautiful, private, and extremely clean. I also want to give a special shoutout to Dom for the incredible care and dedication he showed my dog during her stay. If you're considering professional training for your dog, I highly recommend reaching out to Juan and his team. The investment was one of the best decisions I've made for my dog. and I'm so grateful for the foundation they've helped build for her future.

The program focused on comprehensive obedience, off-leash reliability, recall, and behavioral modification, all through individualized and consistent training tailored to Ringo's specific needs. Juan and the entire team are amazing--compassionate, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. They took the time to understand Ringo and worked patiently to help him build confidence, improve behavior, and develop reliable obedience skills. It was clear throughout the process that they care deeply about every dog they work with. What stands out most is the level of professionalism combined with the love and attention they give each dog. I felt completely comfortable trusting them with Ringo, and the communication throughout the program was excellent. Even after training, I continue to bring Ringo there for daycare and boarding, which says everything about the confidence I have in their team and facility. Ringo is always happy to go, and I know he is safe, well cared for, and in great hands. If you are looking for a team that delivers real results while treating your dog like family, The DOGGO USA is the place to go. Our experience with The DOGGO USA has and continues to make a lasting difference in Ringo's life. We are grateful for everything they have done for him. Highly recommend The DOGGO USA to anyone seeking training, daycare, or boarding services.
