A different instructor conducted the class the following week. I received an unprofessional and threatening email from the original trainer. The email disparaged the trainer who stepped in and requested (demanded) that I scheduled a private training session at a reduced fee to get "caught up" . I was uncomfortable with the lack of communication and unprofessional behavior from the trainer. I requested some type of refund since I was not going to train with them any further. I received another email denying any portion of my fees be refunded. Lesson learned for me, I suppose. I would definitely NOT recommend using this company.

So disappointed in Caroline for her unprofessional handling of her board and train agreement she…read morehad with me. After her only giving me a 1 week notice for the board and train, she told me that she wouldn't be able to take my dog. She agreed to work with me on returning my $550 deposit, after many attempts to contact her for resolving the deposit return she ignored all my emails and phone calls. I even went so far as to say I would work with her and she could pay me back monthly but still no response. I've learned a hard lesson in trusting someone to do what they agree to. I would definitely never recommend her for any training based on her lack of professionalism. Don't waste your money as I have

My…read morehusband and I have very busy schedules, so it's a huge help knowing that when we get home in the evening, our two cats have already been fed and their litter box has been cleaned. I can now spend quality time cuddling and playing with them. Abby is amazing. I truly appreciate how attentive and thoughtful she is with my fur babies. What stands out most are the little things she does. She pays attention to each cat's individual personality and routine, and she asks questions whenever she's unsure rather than making assumptions. That level of care gives me tremendous peace of mind. I'd definitely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter.

Abigail and Bryan were amazing with our dog, Blizzard. They stayed overnight, took him on walks,…read moreand even brought him to the park which he loved. They were super consistent with sending photo updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Blizzard is a large breed malamute, so it's not always easy finding sitters who are confident and experienced--but what really stood out is that they also have experience with large dogs. That made a huge difference for us. They followed all of our instructions, including administering his medication and reinforcing his commands, which we really appreciated. They were also comfortable using the tools we provided, like his prong collar, which honestly made me feel even more reassured that they know how to properly handle bigger, stronger dogs. They left the Furbo camera on in the living room as requested and were overall very respectful of our home. It's honestly hard to find sitters you fully trust, and I'm so glad we found them--especially having both of them stay with Blizzard. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!

From the beginning, Gina made sure to address all of our concerns and provided us with comprehensive training guidance. I found Gina's deep understanding of canine behavior and her approached extremely helpful. She was able to translate our dog's situational perception into terms that we could better understand. The was very valuable and helped us to better identify causes for Axel's behavior and how to adjust our reactions and conduct to effectively influence his behaviors. What I really appreciated was her commitment to to addressing all of our training concern. She did not rush through the session nor did she care that we went over the allotted time. Lastly, we attended a puppy social shortly after and Gina remembered Axel and asked about him. This type of personal attention and care made us feel like we were not only clients, but apart of a supportive dog-loving community. I would highly recommend private training sessions with Gina.

I'm crazy grateful to Dan. He did a great job and we have the perfect dog. Literally everyone who sees our dog realizes we have a special dog. He's not a guard dog, because he's a companion animal. I think that our dog is our family's most prized possession. It's the only thing we are worried about getting stolen. Dan was instrumental at helping us find and train the dog. We wanted to rescue a dog, and we even checked some of the rescue dogs out. But Dan said that for a companion animal, we should go to a breeder. He picked the best superstar breeder who had a bunch of kids around the dogs so that our dog would be used to kids. Dan was 100% right. I can't possibly recommend Dan highly enough. he took our dog and our family to a bunch of parks and taught us everything about dogs and dog training. What a guy.

Many dog trainers are complete rip offs! Does that surprise you? Be careful out there before you…read moreget talked into handing over 4 figures upfront for "send away training" . Nikki and her team at OC Service Dogs brings credibility back to Dog Training. You can't appreciate how good this trainer is untill you experience bad ones. Hopefully I can save you from having to do that Its easy to make your dog look like its trained and appear like the trainer spent a ton of time with it. A little food in one hand as the dog looks so good heeling, as you have your wallet in the other as you are impressed with the smoke and mirrors. (she can show you how to make your dog look like this in 5 minutes as can I BTW) Nikki is the real deal. I have known her for about 15 years. She has trained protection, Schutzhund obedience with me for high level competitions. She has mentored my son when he was younger as a decoy. She has been a decoy and now she is helping me train a new dog. The takeaway is that she is very experienced at all the roles and levels so so understands what its like being a trainer, trainee, competitor, club member, etc. You want someone that has had all these viewpoints and experiences. She is an awesome parent and she often does things through dog training that helps kids. For example, getting girls accustomed to saying "no" to a dog so saying "no" in the future is easier. We can only hope our girls grow up to be like Nikki. I probably averaged 15K each in training my other dogs (Sch III, IPO III dog). Her group training is a STEAL. She has awesome staff members at the group training so you are not just left alone, lost, and confused. You almost always get private training in the group training and this is worth double the price she charges . It's hard to appreciate this until you spend thousands of dollars on training in the past and realize that her training is just as good if not better for a fraction of the cost. Go to other group trainings where you are lost and just in a herd of people with no attention given to you and you will see what I mean. Her group sessions incorporate discussions too. Last session she spoke of nutrition and the new grain free controversy. Not only is this something unique, it is very strategic as she knows that you can't train dogs for excessive lengths of time and this allows her to break up the group training to keep the dogs motivated while educating you and dog issues well beyond training. Aside from being a great parent, she does a lot for the community and church. You can trust this person to not take your dog in and do nothing. She will work your dogs constantly. But I encourage you to start with the group lessons first as its such a steal and you get private lessons that Nikki probably just feels are "part of the group experience" (she could easily charge more for it or try to talk you into more like other trainers do). From there discuss private training or other send off training once you experience her training in the group Her expertise is amazing. We were about on the same level 10 years ago and training competition dogs together. I recently attended her group class and she was showing me all of the new positive techniques and I felt like I have never trained a dog before. Training has never been this positive toward the dogs like she does it now. Her love for all dogs is so incredibly evident and her desire to make everyone better through dogs is something you probably will not see in other trainers. Her group classes are a great way for families to do something good together and to have a positive activity as your dog becomes more and more a great part of your family because of her.

They took extra effort to ensure no other issues ever transpired and have been very true to their commitment. Regarding the dog/cat services we rely upon, the peace-of-mind and security afforded to myself and my family is well worth whatever fees Happy Paws needs to continue running. My pets are very comfortable with them and well tended. I had a dog that was terminally ill and it always broke my heart to leave for work, but I knew he was in good hands until the end when he finally crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a new pup and once again he is quite happy with every visit and my cat has also deemed them very worthy of her presence throughout this time. We have worked primarily with Jeremy and he has been very reliable, even reaching out to me about my own schedule when I spaced out any updates that he was expecting. He really cares for our animals and also respects our home without any worry.
