It soon became obvious that both pup and trainer were enjoying the experience. Helen trains with love and kindness and it was easy to see that my puppy had fun while learning.

Absolutely amazing experience! He is very knowledgeable, a phenomenal communicator- very clear directions for me as a handler, helped me understand what and why my dog was performing the way he was. Spent quality time helping me and my kids reach the goals we set forth at the beginning of the session. Never felt rushed. He took the time to know my dog. I couldn't have been happier with my dog training experience today. I learned a lot. My kids learned a lot and my dog definitely left there better trained and more confident- while also having fun the entire session. Very pleased. Bought a package for training - only wish he lived more than two hours away but the trip was well worth the drive and we are already scheduled to come back. Thanks again Erick, your compassion and professionalism for what you do really shows! Update: I recently also left my dog for a week in the board and train program! I couldn't be happier with the care and the improvement seen in just a weeks time! We are excited to continue our sessions as well as use them for further board and train jn the future!!

Our CavaPoo, "Paige" was returned to us a more focused, disciplined, confident puppy than we brought to Coastline K9 (Naples Florida) four weeks earlier (for their "stay and train" program.) We knew our precious Paige was in exceptional hands with her accomplished and highly skilled trainer Evina, who worked on "resource guarding" and anxiety issues while caring and loving Paige as one of her own. The videos uploaded regularly helped with OUR separation issues while also showing the proper techniques to follow through with the extraordinary care Paige received at Coastline K9. From the informative intake with Breton four weeks ago, to turnover with Evina, we feel better equipped with the tools and knowledge to better care for, enjoy, and love our pup. It takes a special type of individual to do what they do at Coastline K9, whom we highly recommend.....Lia & Michael

Allison is truly the dog whisperer - I could tell this immediately upon her initial meet and greet…read morewith my border collie puppy, Luna. I have never seen a person be able to communicate with a dog like Allison does. She is extremely knowledgeable about everything canine and can read a dog's behavior like second-nature. She can identify your dog's behavioral problems/anxieties/issues without hesitation because she is that well-versed in dog psychology. From the moment that I brought Luna home, she would go into a down position anytime a car would pass by during our walks. At first, I thought this was a quirky puppy behavior that she'd eventually grow out of but as she grew older and the behavior became worse, I feared there was something larger at play. Allison was recommended to me by a neighbor, who observed me struggling with Luna. Unbeknownst to me, my neighbor's dog had similar issues with wanting to chase moving things. I was so impressed by how well-behaved my neighbor's dog was that I couldn't believe that the dog had any behavioral problems to begin with. I called Allison immediately after my neighbor gave me her contact information. If it wasn't for Allison, I would've never known that Luna's prey drive was out of whack and this was something that needed to be corrected immediately. She also explained in-depth the psychology behind why Luna was behaving this way, which really helped me better understand how to communicate with my puppy. Communication is KEY in training and I've never met anyone who can communicate with a dog as well as Allison does. I was terrified to walk Luna but within just five times meeting, she has already made extremely great progress. Her confidence builds every day and Allison is to thank for that. Luna now listens effortlessly to any command, mind you she is only 25-weeks old. I constantly have people tell me that she's one of the most well-behaved puppy's that they've ever met (which I attribute to Allison's wonderful guidance)! I've learned, and am continuing to learn, so much from Allison. I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful dog trainer and highly recommend her to anyone that is dealing with an issue that seems to have no clear end in sight. Call Allison, I promise she will transform your dog!

I am deeply disappointed with the care provided at this facility. The lack of empathy, clear…read moreunderstaffing, and complete disregard for the well-being of pets are shocking and heartbreaking. Our two puppies, Cava and Sofi, suffered terribly during their stay, leaving us devastated and questioning how this facility is allowed to operate. We entrusted this facility with our perfectly healthy, happy puppies, and they were returned to us in horrifying condition. We were instructed to bring our pets in harnesses and collars for easier handling but were never informed that these would remain on them for the entire week. When we picked up Cava, I was horrified to find her harness had dug into her fur, creating painful open wounds in multiple places on her body. I had to peel it off her, and it was clear she had endured immense suffering. Both Cava and Sofi were shaken, traumatized, and clearly unwell when we brought them home. Cava has been vomiting her meals and experiencing persistent diarrhea, while Sofi, who was also perfectly healthy before her stay, is now suffering from vomiting, diarrhea, and a persistent cough. Their physical suffering and visible distress make it abundantly clear they were not given even basic care during their time at this facility. To add to this nightmare, I provided clear feeding instructions and more than enough food for their stay, yet the facility somehow "ran out" of the food I brought. They then had the audacity to try to charge us extra to feed our puppies from their own supply. This blatant mishandling of such a simple responsibility is just another example of their incompetence and disregard for the animals in their care. Adding insult to injury, we now face costly veterinary bills to address the harm done to our puppies. When we approached the facility about a refund, they only agreed to provide a partial refund, which is unacceptable given the mistreatment our puppies endured and the complete breach of trust between us and the facility. This gesture falls far short of what is necessary to make this situation right, both financially and morally. This review is intended as a word of caution for anyone considering this facility in the future. The lack of communication, proper staffing, and basic empathy for the animals in their care is inexcusable. Shame on this facility for neglecting the very pets they are entrusted to care for. I urge management to take immediate action to address these issues--no pet or pet owner should ever have to go through this kind of heartbreak.

This is an update to my previous 2 star review. Since that post Reese the Manager was kind enough…read moreto reach out to me in person. That demonstrates a lot of care not only for the business but relationships. She listened, understood the situation and worked to resolve the situation. Kudos for accountability and a lovely professional demeanor. I like the trainer Loyda who was very successful with gaining rapid improvements with my dog Kalie and highly recommend her. The trainers should be autonomous to decide the next steps of progression and micro managing reduces client confidence. All In all, Ruffgers does give a better effort than any other place I've been in the Lee and Collier areas for dog day care and that's not an easy achievement.
