So Much More Than Dog Training!…read more Enlighten Dogs truly stands out from every other training facility I've experienced. They don't just offer exceptional obedience and behavioral training--they provide workshops and educational classes that support pet owners through every stage of their pet's life. From obedience and behavior workshops to pet CPR classes and even education and resources for senior and retiring pets, they genuinely care about both the animals and the people who love them. Russ, Anthony, and the entire team have created something special. They educate owners, build confidence, and give you practical skills that can actually make a difference in your pet's life. Their commitment goes far beyond simply teaching a dog to follow commands. If you want a place that treats pet care as a lifelong partnership--not just a training session--Enlighten Dogs is exceptional. I cannot recommend them enough. Sage and I are incredibly grateful we found them. THE DIFFERENCE IS NIGHT AND DAY -- ENLIGHTEN DOGS IS IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN I spent $3,500 on a board-and-train program with Bad Pup Club, and what disappointed me most was what happened afterward--the meaningful follow-up and continued support I expected simply wasn't there. Once the program was over, it felt over. Then I found Enlighten Dogs, and I finally understood what exceptional dog training and customer care should look like. Russ and Anthony didn't just train Sage and hand her back to me. They remained involved. They came to my home, worked with Sage in her actual environment, helped set up her treadmill, showed me how to use it properly, answered my questions, and continued helping me reinforce what Sage learned. They understand that successful training isn't just about changing a dog's behavior for two weeks--it's about teaching the owner how to maintain that progress for a lifetime. And Enlighten Dogs goes far beyond obedience and behavioral training. They offer educational workshops and opportunities such as pet CPR and other classes designed to help owners become better prepared and more knowledgeable throughout their pets' lives. That is what separates a business that simply sells dog training from one that is genuinely invested in animals and their families. Enlighten Dogs didn't make me feel like a transaction. They made Sage's long-term success matter. If I could go back and do it all over again, I know exactly where I would have started. Enlighten Dogs. Russ and Anthony, thank you for continuing to show up for Sage and me. You have earned my trust, my respect, and my highest recommendation. -- Deborah & Sage -- Deborah & Sage

Hopeless. That's how my wife and I felt with our dog coco. She was very reactive towards people and…read moretowards other dogs. We had gone to another trainer and felt as coco did not meaningfully improve. So we were hesitant to try another trainer. Mainly due to embarrassment. We felt as if we have failed our dog. We are so lucky to have found Taylor! By the end of just the first meeting he was walking her around and she was not reacting at all! Through the private sessions Taylor taught us how to train her. Gives us the tools to set her up for success. However, it is through the group sessions on the weekend that the real magic happens and where coco learned the most. Being surrounded by other people and other reactive dogs. Gives coco the ability to put her skills to the test in a safe environment where everyone is understanding if she breaks and barks. Like all things, you get out what you put in. By consistently working on her training and consistently going to group sessions, we have seen such huge improvement with coco. If you are on the fence or just looking for a trainer that will take the time to ensure you are being set up for success. Taylor is the guy to go to! We cannot recommend him enough!

5-Star Review for My House of Paws!…read more Brigitt at My House of Paws is absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped off Hershey, Reggie, and my sister's dog Nova, we knew they were in loving, capable hands. Brigitt has a natural connection with dogs and treats every pup like part of her own family. We received regular adorable Facebook photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. The dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. Her home is clean, safe, and full of positive, pet-loving energy. If you're looking for a dog boarding experience that feels like a second home, My House of Paws is it. We're so grateful!!

Let's begin with a little history of our pet- he's rambunctious, stubborn, extremely smart, and…read moreneeds constant structure and discipline. At Pet Degree Dogs we have found exactly what our Lukes requires to have a successful experience, both in daycare and during training. We take him for daycare a couple times a week. And sometimes we feel bad because it's like training and fun combined in one day. Vanessa really knows her stuff when it comes to dog training and keeping a healthy structure during daycare. We have required her expertise in multiple training sessions both group and individual. We are enjoying our pet a lot more thanks to her teachings. Most times it's the owner who requires training - not so much my dog. Because he absolutely adores her. Definitely recommend this place to anyone needing some help with the pet.

Megan provided detailed feedback and I appreciated how quickly she responded to any questions I had. When I picked him up, he was a new dog!!! She spent almost 2 hours with me, ensuring that I understood his behavior, how to correct it, and provided direct feedback on how I can improve my response to ensure my dog's success. I will be referring anyone who asks to Megan, and our lives have been changed thanks to the solid foundation of training her and Hannah provided!!!

Xavier is amazing and you can tell he has a natural talent for working with animals. Many people…read moresay they have so many years of experience doing their jobs and you never can tell, but being in class for 4 weeks and watching the growth and change in the various dogs as the weeks go by, you can't help but believe that Xavier truly knows his stuff. He is passionate about his work and this reflects in the way he teaches us how to work with our animals. I didn't bring the worse of my dogs to the training, but I am so happy with the end result with my rescue dog that I am returning for more classes with my "bad boys". Xavier is easy to talk to and he really does love and respect the animals and teaches us to do the same. He's funny and engaging during training. The smaller classes give a nice intimate feel so you get the attention you need from the instructor and you don't feel lost or afraid to ask if you need a little extra support. Thank you for helping me get Chanelly ready for her forever home where I know she'll for sure impress her new family with her good behavior.

We were vetting dog trainers for our Doberman puppy, Anakin, and we just so happen to meet Javier…read morewhile shopping at Pet Empire. We asked about training and he gave us a couple of great behavioral tips, particularly about dealing with a power breed but recommended we reach out after Anakin completes all of his vaccinations. We planned to start training after New Year's, but Anakin seemed to start his teenager phase early and while we socialized him as much as possible, he seemed to digress particularly with walking, so early December I reached out to Javier for the four 1:1 personal training sessions. We were able to schedule them rather quickly. Javier was very knowledgeable and communicative. He explained clearly how we can create a better connection with Anakin, how our own behavior affects his behavior, and why it was important we correct them. We learned new things that YouTube/Google couldn't have provided because Javier personalized the training around Anakin's breed and temperament. We had our kids attend the trainings as well so we all can get the same training and info, which incredibly improved Anakin's behavior because the training at home was consistent. He also helped build our kids' confidence in walking Anakin. We will be signing up for the group trainings for additional socialization as well as more 1:1 trainings. We fully trust in Javier's expertise in training our powerful yet crybaby of a Doberman. We highly recommend him!
