I can't say enough wonderful things about Mark. He took in Kailey, a dog who had been considered…read morealmost impossible to handle. At the shelter she came from, only one person was able to walk her, and without Mark stepping up, she likely would have been euthanized. The moment Kailey arrived from Connecticut, Mark didn't hesitate. He immediately started working with her, patiently earning her trust and learning her quirks, her fears, and the situations that stressed her. What seemed like overwhelming challenges to others never became obstacles for him. Kailey had endured terrible abuse as a puppy, including being thrown down a flight of stairs, leaving her with deep trust issues. Thanks to Mark's patience, compassion, and understanding, she has completely transformed. Today she is living her best life and is now permanently boarding with him, where she is happy, safe, and loved. Mark doesn't just train dogs--he gives them a second chance. Kailey's story is proof of the incredible difference he makes. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Incredibly disappointing experience. Before leaving our dog, we clearly explained our concerns and…read morespecifically asked Mark if he was confident he could train her. He assured us he could. Nearly two months later, he told us he couldn't. Throughout the process, he was rude, unprofessional, and condescending. The night we called to bring our dog back home after he refused to provide the contact information for the person he planned to leave her with, we noticed he was slurring his words. Because of how concerned we were, we asked for confirmation by text of when he would be returning our dog in case there were any issues. His response only added to our concerns. I would not recommend this trainer based on our experience. It's also worth noting that there has been a sudden increase in 5-star reviews in the weeks since Birdie came home, which stood out to us because we hadn't seen that level of review activity before.

Our family adopted a dog named Bear. He was not well behaved and was causing a lot of stress in our…read morefamily to the point we considered re-homing him. Fabian at the Dog Wizard was able to turn everything around for us thankfully. We boarded Bear at the facility in US 64 and Fabian worked with him daily. What he graduated from the program he was sitting and lying down in his place every time we asked. Before training he refused to go on walks because of his intense fear. Now, we take him on walks around the neighborhood every day. Not only was Fabian effective but he has repeatedly offered to meet up with us to work with Bear for no extra charge. Every two weeks we also can attend alumni classes on a Saturday at local parks which helps Bear keep up his training. I can't say enough about how great of a job Fabian did. He saved Bear's life. We are eternally grateful to him for that.

When I arrived the technician attempted to up sale to the next level but I told her just the bath and brush this time. She printed a page and highlighted where to sign, which I did. When I arrived to pickup my dog the additional service was charged. I told the groomer that's not what I ordered or what we discussed. The grooming mgr said it must have picked up from the last time I was here but I signed the contract and had to pay. I spoke to the store manager, showed him my order but his response was you signed the contract. Long story short, my last time there and a number of my friends are canceling their trip there as well.

Our little Yorkie is great little companion and was relatively well socialised when we adopted her…read moreas a young adult. She has, however, progressively begun aggressive behaviour towards other dogs, and manipulative behaviour with us over the last year and we were at wits end to try to effect a change. Another local trainer who doesn't handle aggression referred us to Cheryl at Last Paw who met with us for an evaluation session within a couple of days. Cheryl quickly identified 'in-house' manipulative behaviour that Tessa was doing to control us and showed us how easy it was to begin to modify. We have booked several follow-up sessions to work on the dog-on-dog issues. Cheryl is an animal psychology professional, and I do not use this term lightly. If you meet her you will quickly learn how little most of us understand about simple bad habits in owner behaviour that enable all the undesirable habits in our dogs. She is very gentle but assertive and had our Tessa eating out of her hand in minutes. My wife asked her to move in with us. We look forward to our next session in a couple of days.

When we got them back they went from completely untrained to trained in every way! Door manners, in the car, on the leash, and other basic commands, you name it! They were crazy about food and now they will sit in front of food and wait to eat it when they are told. It's amazing! We then brought them back for a tune up when our son was born. It was awesome knowing they were with people who knew them and loved them. Our dog Charlie ran and jumped in the lake immediately! Happy as can be. A huge shoutout to Derrick! When our son was born 4 weeks early he went out of his way to pick our dogs up when we were stuck at the hospital. He truly loves the dogs and cares about the families. You can tell this is his passion and it shows through his work! Lastly, Anthony has been fantastic to work with throughout too! Due to him and Derrick we will continue bringing our dogs back here when we need boarding knowing they are in the BEST hands. If you're looking for a great training facility with the best people, look no further. You found them!

I can't even express how glad I am that we found Dawn! Her training style and personality fit perfectly with ours. Dawn has a special gift and connection with dogs, our Bentley (8 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) absolutely loved her. Everything about her training made sense, from start to finish, as she explained (and re-explained, if necessary). She bonded with our Bentley, he came to respect what she was teaching and he was willing to please and obey when she was with him. Dawn gave us homework each week, with handouts as reminders, and did a recap at the beginning of the following week. After training hours, she even sent us a video of her demonstrating the process with her own dog once when we couldn't quite get a certain technique. We didn't always do our homework 100%, but Dawn was able to move forward and teach Bentley the next lessons. We have a lot to learn still and it is a daily learning process for both dog and owner, but are thrilled that we met Dawn. I am already considering bringing her back for a recap and tweaking in a few months. I highly recommend Dawn and Coast Dogs, no reservations whatsoever. You will not be disappointed and you will get results.
