My 5 year old Golden Retriever, Rudy, was trained by Hope2K9 in Vista, CA when he was 11 months…read moreold. He came back as the best behaved dog I have ever had. Last year, we got Ginger to be his pal. Unfortunately, we now live in Wyoming. Though we seriously thought about sending her to California, that was a bit overwhelming. But, low and behold, we found that Emily took her training to Colorado! Though it was a 5 hour drive each way, we knew the training, and wanted it for 7 month old Ginger as well. Ginger stayed with Emily alone for the first two weeks, then we brought Rudy down to join her for her last week of training. The refresher was excellent for him, and the two of them learned how to work together. The result is that I now have TWO well behaved pups. They are great off leash, which is important because they get their exercise on the golf course immediately behind our house. When golfers show up, the pups stay in place until the golfers move on. Perfect! Ginger was young when she received her training, so we continue to work with her on her skills. I would say that she is a good 90% of where I would like her to be. Excellent! A dog who knows its parameters and what is expected is a happy dog. Thanks so Emily's fantastic work, we are a very peaceful and content family. My arm stays in the socket because Ginger no longer darts for what ever catches her eye. The two of them walk beside me like champs. You really, really NEED to take your dog to Emily. You will both be happy you did.

If I could give Emily more than 5 stars, I definitely would! She is an incredibly patient trainer…read moreand has really transformed our 5 year old French Bulldog, Nugget, into a different dog in such a short time. Ever since Nugget was a pup, he dealt with anxiety and listening skills (as in not having any) and didn't have any way to cope with his problems. He would charge at people and dogs, which eventually got him kicked out of a local boarding facility. We tried everything from medications to CBD oils and nothing would work. My husband and I travel a lot so we needed to come up with another solution. From our first phone call with Emily, we knew that she would be able to help us so we signed Nugget up for a 3 week board and train program. Drop off was smooth and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our dog with Emily for a few weeks. There was no direct communication during the 3 weeks (no news is good news plan), but Emily is very good about posting on the EC Dog training Instagram. Seeing Nugget's progress every few days was very helpful to us and put our minds at ease! We've been home with Nugget for over a week now and I can't even begin to describe how much he has changed! With simple commands and use of his e-collar we can eat meals in peace while he's in a "placed" position, he sleeps in his crate overnight (8-9 hours), and he walks on a shorter leash without pulling ahead like he used to do. We can also put Nugget in a "placed" position when people or dogs are around and he has learned to be calm and release any anxiety that used to cause him to lash out. He's had amazing progress so far and with the tools that Emily has instilled in us, Nugget will definitely be able to continue down a positive path to becoming a well-behaved doggo!

I've held off on leaving this review in hopes that the owner of Camp Bow Wow would reach out to me…read moreas promised. He never did -- which says everything you need to know about how this place is run and how little they truly care about the dogs in their care. On May 10th, I dropped off my 4-month-old golden retriever puppy, Doug, for daycare. Around 4 PM, I got a call from a staff member named Anna saying Doug had been injured while playing and was bleeding. She said I "may want to take him to the vet" but left it up to me. Naturally, I was shocked and immediately asked, "Is he okay? What happened?" They said his gum was punctured while playing with another puppy. Okay -- accidents happen. But here's the kicker: this happened at NOON. They waited FOUR HOURS to tell me my puppy was injured and bleeding. That is completely unacceptable and irresponsible. I asked why there was such a delay in notifying me. Anna -- who had just gotten into work -- apologized and said her manager was present when it happened but chose not to contact me. Let me be clear: I am trusting you with the care of my young puppy, and when he gets hurt and bleeds, you don't even have the decency to call me immediately? I was livid. Not only was this dangerous for Doug, but it also put me in a horrible situation because my regular vet closes at 2 PM on Saturdays. Instead of having the option of taking him to our trusted vet, I was left with the much more expensive and time consuming (who wants to make their nervous pup wait hours at a vet?) option of an emergency vet -- all because they didn't pick up the phone. I told them I'd be right there (I live 5 minutes away), and as soon as the manager found out I was coming, she left. No accountability whatsoever. Anna was amazing -- the only bright spot in this disaster. She was sincerely apologetic and even admitted they've had ongoing management issues. She told me the owner, Nick, would call me on Monday and even offered to cover vet bills if I took Doug to their preferred vet. That call never came. The next day, I got a call from Sienna (I believe that's her name), who apologized for not calling sooner and for leaving before I arrived. She claimed the delay was due to her "reviewing the footage" -- which is a terrible excuse. I made it clear I didn't care how it happened, just that someone should have told me IMMEDIATELY. She agreed she had no excuse but still managed to shift blame by saying Doug was playing more roughly than the other dog. He's a puppy. They play rough. That's expected. Don't try to blame a puppy for your negligence. Again -- this isn't about the injury. Accidents happen. I completely understand that. What I don't understand -- and won't accept -- is the complete lack of urgency, transparency, and responsibility. I spent the weekend flushing Doug's mouth, cleaning up blood, and watching him like a hawk because you failed to do your job. Luckily, Doug is okay -- his regular vet advised us to monitor him closely, as antibiotics are not ideal for such a young puppy. But the real issue? Not only did Nick, the owner, never call me -- even after being told I was expecting it -- but I haven't heard anything from him to this day. I did get an email from another staff member asking how Doug was doing, and I responded that he was better but never heard back. No accountability. No follow-up. No professionalism. It's heartbreaking because Doug loved daycare. He had so much fun and would get excited every time we pulled into the parking lot. But thanks to this experience, we can no longer trust anyone else with his care. You've completely ruined that for us. And you've also lost what would've been regular business -- we had planned to use your grooming services and board Doug for an upcoming trip. Not anymore. To top it all off, if you watch the live cameras, you'll notice that most of the time, the staff is just sitting around chatting -- not watching the dogs like they should be. Extremely disappointed, furious, and heartbroken. Do NOT bring your dog here if you expect them to be well cared for. Because if something goes wrong, you may never even find out -- until it's too late.

My adopted dog was terrified of anything he'd never seen before (pretty much everything) and any dog who tried to play with him). I met Doug at a pet expo and called shortly thereafter to schedule an evaluation. At the evaluation I learned more about why dogs behave as they do and how they think than I ever had before. I signed up for training and had the first of 2 private classes that month. Then life happened and I was unable to return for the 2nd class for 13 months. Throughout the 13 months I continued the training exercises Doug told me to use and when I finally got back for the 2nd class, my dog had progressed so that he was ready to attend neighborhood pack. Neighborhood pack is a wonderful place and works wonders for all dogs, no matter what issues they have. Doug always asks everyone what concerns they have about their dogs and then we do exercises to desensitize them. I've seen very dramatic changes in my dog, who is now one of the senior dogs and a pack leader, and in many other dogs. Shy dogs develop confidence, aggressive dogs learn correct body language and language skills, noisy dogs learn how to be quiet, fearful dogs learn that they have nothing to fear, and owners learn how to understand their dogs better than they ever thought possible. I still take my Border Collie to neighborhood pack because it's good for both of us and we enjoy it. I love to see the huge improvements that most dogs make when they attend group. In addition, because Doug thinks that once you've trained one dog with him you should be able to train the next one himself, I've self-trained my youngest and newest dog. I took her to Doug to be evaluated for neighborhood pack attendance and she passed. Because my first dog helped train the 2nd one, it was fairly easy to get her to the point that she could go into neighborhood pack where I'm sure her fear of men will be erased as we go along. She's been twice now and has done beautifully. You can't go wrong with Doug and PPMIM!
