Arya is the best! I have the most stubborn frenchie I could've asked for and I love him to death,…read morebut he used to pull like no other when he was on the leash and always wanted to rush up to every dog or animal he saw. I initially did the 3 week board and train and Rizzy came back a different dog. I definitely had to keep up and continue with the training, and the follow up sessions with Arya helped guide us to continuing Rizzy's journey to becoming a happier and less restricted dog. Thanks to Arya, Rizzy is now able to walk with a loose leash, be in off leash areas with a good recall, and he has such better quality of life because he is able to be in public places now without always acting out. I fully trust Arya to doggy sit when I have to go out of town. So so happy with the results and definitely recommend !

I was having trouble. In certain situations, my sweet, incredibly loving, adopted, 1.5 year-old…read moreDalmatian puppy, Freckles, would turn into a complete monster. I could not control her when I took her for a walk. I was embarrassed and terrified. She is very strong and could, and did, trip me, and pull me to the ground. She started to attack our small pug in our house. It was horrible. She had loved walks and meeting other dogs. Soon things changed: she would lunge ferociously at other dogs on our walks, snapping and snarling. She would even "see red" and start attacking our other dogs that we were walking her with, like our tiny Maltese, whom she had never had a problem with. Even on the days I felt strong enough to control her, my shoulders hurt, my hands hurt, heck--my ankles hurt standing my ground with her. My heart hurt, with the anxiety of possibly seeing another dog on our walk. I would try to time our walks so other dogs weren't around. The less I took her out, the more destructive she was at home, digging holes, and eating rocks! In the house, she started to randomly attack our pug. I couldn't figure it out. She would cuddle up with her and then later in the day it would look like she was trying to kill her. My family told me I needed to "get rid of her." Heartbroken, I knew if I didn't do something, she was going to kill one of our other dogs or get into a fight with a dog while we were out. I was also convinced that if I did give her to a shelter, that she would never be adoptable, and that she would get worse or even euthanized. I didn't want to give up on her; I needed to save her. I tried all the tricks for training that other trainers had taught me. I had spent thousands of dollars listening to the experts; she did tricks, but her aggression got worse. I was at my very last hope. Then I found Doggy Boot Camp. I heard about Joe. I read the reviews. I cried. I couldn't believe it. Review after review the stories I read were EXACTLY what I was going through. Dogs owners could not control, but after meeting Joe, their dogs are FIXED! On leash! Off leash! Dogs that just "hang out" at coffee shops.... What?? How is this possible?? I immediately reached out to Joe. He explained that my situation was NOT permanent. However, I needed to listen to EXACTLY what he said to do, or it would NOT work. Oh man, he was tough! Even intimidating! I was not sure I could do it. But I knew it was my dog's last hope. I was desperate and determined. I promised to trust him completely. If I did not, it could mean one of my dogs or a couple of them would end up dead. I could not live with that. I trusted in Joe's method. Joe saved my dogs. I worked with Joe and his daily training for about 14 days. He checked in with me daily. He was incredibly attentive to every situation I encountered with my dogs and explained the dog psychologically behind the behaviors I saw. Even the smallest things I thought were not a big deal, he would tell me how they were affecting my dog/dogs and their mental state. I saw a HUGE improvement after only a couple of days, before even meeting with Joe in person! Crazy! After meeting with Joe for one FULL day, I had a different dog. I was stunned. He was very tough and no-nonsense with her. And me! But I had promised to completely trust the process and, oh my gosh, I am so thankful I did!! Now I feel like a good dog owner. A happy one. A responsible one. Freckles is also happy. She is good in the house. Good outside. She LOVES being with other dogs. She walks on a leash. She travels all over with me, camping and hiking. I don't think about being fearful on walks anymore. I have with her at restaurants and coffee shops. It is fun to take her out now. My family loves her. My kids love her. Joe saved her. I can't thank you enough, Joe. Freckles thanks you, too. Joe KNOWS dogs. Just TRUST him. If you want a GOOD relationship with your dog. A happy, healthy relationship, TRUST Joe. Your relationship with your dog is one that is worth the effort. I promise you.

We adopted a sweet cat from here in July and we could not be happier. I recommend this place, the application process is a breeze and is paperless. One difference between ASAP from other shelters is that you can foster cats and that they have different age cats avaliable. They will also not discriminate against people with disabilities and try to match you with a cat/kitten. I really enjoyed my experience and highly recommend ASAP.

This is such a loving place for these cats. Also, shoutout to ASAP for being so good with the girl scouts who visited them as well!

I love her careful and smart approach to dog training - she really understands dog psychology and trains with soft methods that make your dog think and figure things out. Joy is currently helping us train our 3 months old Labradoodle puppy. I am beyond grateful for her input and guidance. Our puppy is growing into a wonderful dog and I can't wait to get to know the adult he will be. I want to show him off to everybody and recommend Joy to any puppy owner. Starting training early is key and helps prevent behavioral issues and establish a good communication and relationship with your dog! Not only is Joy knowledgeable, experienced and professional, but also a great person with a BIG heart for dogs. She is very dedicated and passionate about what she is doing. She responds to any of my many questions - let it be in one of our meetings where she listens patiently to my concerns and questions or the email(s) I send her. She is really there for us and our puppy when we need her and you can feel and see her excitement when we succeed in training our puppy a new trick or behavior. I highly recommend Joy and am grateful for her!

Joy is a wonderful trainer who really understands the psychology of dogs, and is very careful in her approach. I recommend her to clients often, without hesitation. I only refer my clients to the best!

No, instead you flat out ignore people who are desperate.

It is your business to be compassionate and caring and yet you coldly ignore people's cries for help. And you call yourself a rescue. Rescuing what?
