Training All Doggies

This review is LOOOONNNGGGGG overdue. I had gotten a Shiba Inu puppy 3 years ago that had to be…read morehospitalized due to Parvo the next day. Then, once he recovered from that, had a fever that almost killed him and had to be hospitalized again. We had to keep him quarantined for a while and away from my other dog (a 7 year old Pomeranian at the time) and get all his vaccinations from the beginning. He was scared of literally every single noise and had anxiety about just about everything. Over time, he developed extreme food aggression and we were worried for the safety of my little Pom. He had been attacked a few times to the point of actual injury and it was extremely stressful for everyone. I was at my wits end and I felt like I had tried everything to help Gunnar (my Shiba) and protect Simba (my Pom). I did a lot of research and stumbled upon Jenina and sent her a message for private sessions where she would come to my apartment once a week. I believe I only used her for a little over a month but I am eternally grateful. The level of aggression Gunnar displayed was so dangerous that my roommate and I actually have been bitten with blood trying to protect Simba from harm where food is involved. The issue was that he wasn't aggressive with all foods and we were unaware the extent until it was too late (ex. we thought it was only wet food so we were giving a chew stick to them separately where I would have Simba sitting next to me on the couch and Gunnar would be on the floor away from Simba with my roommate and the switch was so sudden----from sweet to seemingly no warning lunging at Simba----I stuck my leg out to protect Simba and he bit my leg instead). I feel like at this point, a regular human being would give Gunnar up, but that wasn't an option. It wasn't an option when he came to me dying from Parvo, it wasn't an option when he had an almost fatal fever, and it wasn't going to be an option for me now. I was determined to find a way to help him because he is my baby and my responsibility. The vet suggested I contact a behavioral specialist and when I did, VCA told me the earliest appointment they had was months later. Fed up with waiting, I found Jenina. In a month's time, she had given me the tools to fix a seemingly impossible situation. Make no mistake---she made me work for it. She might come across brash to some people but she is very direct and straight to the point. She doesn't coddle you and makes sure she lets you know what you need to do because while the session is for dogs, it is actually more like training the parent. She gives you "homework" and training info and is only willing to help you if YOU do the work. Now, it wasn't a complete fix. He still has anxiety outdoors or unknown noises as well as food aggression but it is nowhere near what he used to be. Before Jenina, Gunnar couldn't even take a step outside the apartment building let alone go for a walk. Three years later, Simba has sadly since passed but he has a little brother that he is extremely patient with as he acts like a typical annoying little brother), his food aggression has gone down from 100 to 30, and we go out to all sorts of places. He is THRIVING and this is all thanks to Jenina. My roommate and I are on high alert and know what to look for in terms of triggers and are very quick to de-escalate aggression situations. We try our best not to avoid known triggers and we work with him every day to allow him to be his best self. He is the sweetest boy and we are so glad he's been able to show it instead of being overshadowed by aggression and anxiety. She also gave Gunnar his nickname---Gunny! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I am so sorry it took this long to leave this review but thank you so much for saving us. If we had listened to the VCA behavioral specialist that basically called Gunnar a monster and suggested we give him up, he probably would have been euthanized somewhere. We owe you so much.

When I adopted my dog, he was a still happy rumbustious puppy that needed a lot of training…read more Jenina took me under her wings, and taught me how to understand dog's behaviors and how to connect with them. I'm grateful of her.

His behavior, manners, and overall demeanor at home have improved so much, and we feel like we have learned a ton along the way too. Beyond being an amazing trainer, what has meant the most to us is how much Kelli genuinely cares about Briggs. She treats him like he's her own, and any time he has had even the smallest health issue, she is always the first to check in, follow up, and make sure he's doing okay. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he is with someone we completely trust and who truly loves and cares for him. Kelli has been so lovely to work with, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is not only an incredible dog trainer, but someone who genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. It also helps that Briggs absolutely loves her!

We enrolled Poppy, our 4 month old puppy at the time, in their 10-day reverse board-and-train program. I wasn't expecting her to come out perfectly trained in 10 days, but I did expect the level of intensive training they advertised on their site. The trainer we got was sweet and had a calm energy, which I liked since Poppy was skittish around new people. But the actual training didn't come close to matching what was promised. We have security cameras at home, so I could see exactly what was happening while we were gone. Most days were only 5-10 minutes of actual training. The rest of the time the trainer was watching TV or on her phone. If we'd wanted someone to watch TV with our puppy, we could've asked a neighbor for free. By the end of it, Poppy knew "sit" and "down" and not much else. The separation anxiety and potty training work we'd specifically talked about before signing up hadn't really progressed. I want to be clear, my problem wasn't that she wasn't fully trained in 10 days. It's that we paid for a specific service and didn't get it. I emailed the owner, Jeff, sent him the video clips, and asked for a partial refund. He wouldn't address any of it directly, just offered services that were already included in our package and turned down the refund. Then he was rude to my husband on the phone, which threw me because my husband is about as easygoing as they come and almost never gets worked up over anything. I also found it concerning that the exit document I was given included a clause saying clients agreed not to post negative reviews. I never signed it, but seeing that made me question how much honest customer feedback actually makes it online. Super shady. We ended up going with a different trainer afterward, and Poppy turned out exactly how we'd expected her to after actual, consistent training. Maybe we just got unlucky with the trainer. I can only go off our own experience, but between the training we actually received and how they handled it afterward, I wouldn't recommend them.

We met the team at K9 Logic Dog Training and they assessed our dog and determined what kind of training program would be best for him to address his separation anxiety and the other skills we wanted to work on. Within a week we noticed progress. We finally were able to leave the house for an hour and go to the market together. Week by week the time has gradually gotten longer where we have been able to leave him alone for longer periods of time to reclaim our social life back.

I genuinely can't recommend Brad highly enough. By the time…read moreI reached out, I had already spent months trying to fix Sunny's leash pulling and reactivity. I'd worked with two trainers, including a 3 week board-and-train program ($5,000 investment), followed every instruction, and practiced daily, yet I didn't see changes. I was managing the behavior without ever understanding what was causing it. That changed within the first two hours with Brad. He didn't start with commands or tools. Instead, he focused on the psychology behind Sunny's reactions: what was driving them, what was reinforcing them, and what I was unknowingly communicating. No one had ever explained it that clearly. That was the turning point. For the first time, I wasn't guessing or correcting blindly. I could see what Sunny was experiencing in real time and understand how my timing, energy, and responses were shaping his behavior. That clarity changed everything. Walks feel completely different now. Sunny is no longer pulls since my training with Brad, the reactive outbursts are gone, and the experience itself is calm. I'm no longer bracing for problems because I know how to prevent them. I am SO appreciative!

A couple of these weren't terribly serious, but we felt we weren't "in charge" anymore, that our dog wasn't getting the message from whatever we were doing, and that if we didn't do something different, it could really get out of control. Brad really helped us with this, where traditional "training" wasn't working. We have two or three things we're working on with our girl, but here is the most dramatic change we had with one issue. She is very food motivated, and would beg from us at the table whenever we sat down to eat, and would be underfoot in the kitchen during prep. She got overly excited and would not settle and lie down. Brad explained we weren't communicating well with her on a dog level, so to get that communication kicked in to gear, he actually started our session not with this problem, but with making sure she would not dash out the front door when it was opened. This was to establish that we were in charge and what was expected of her. What he showed us how to do worked like you wouldn't believe. It was like a light bulb went off for our girl. What we did affected everything after that. It wasn't about dashing out the door, it wasn't about begging for food, it was about knowing what was acceptable in our pack and to look to us for direction. That night, at dinner, she went to her "spot" with a simple direction and was relaxed during our entire meal. She can now be directed to her spot and will stay quietly any time we need her to. Best of all, she seems truly relieved that she doesn't have to be in charge and that WE are. She is much more relaxed around so many other things. It gave us so much more confidence! I didn't think that what Brad taught us would work. It's quite counterintuitive. But trust me, it worked like magic. This is not dog training - it's communication with your dog. Brad answers all your questions, doesn't waste your time, shows you clearly and directly what will work. We're so thankful we found him!

Rehoming her was an absolute last resort after exhausting every option we could think of. Our communication with Csilla was incredibly disappointing. Instead of receiving compassion or guidance, we felt judged and shamed for reaching out for help. We were told that surrendering our dog was cruel, and the response went as far as explaining the euthanasia process and suggesting that our dog would likely be euthanized. We were already heartbroken over having to make this decision. We weren't looking to be criticized--we were looking for help. If the facility was unable to accept our dog, that could have been communicated with kindness, professionalism, and empathy. No family reaches out to surrender a pet without experiencing pain and heartbreak. We hope that in the future, people in our situation are treated with more compassion and understanding than we experienced from Csilla.

We were told we'd receive ongoing support, customized training, and help throughout our dog's life--even if our circumstances changed or we moved. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. When Henry was a puppy, we had one in-home training session and, if I remember correctly, one follow-up email much later. As he matured, he began developing some unexpected behavioral issues despite being neutered and having been a very friendly puppy. I reached out to our trainers, Paksha and the other trainer on our account, multiple times to schedule follow-up training that was included in the program. The biggest obstacle was scheduling. Appointments were only offered during the workweek for follow up. I had to reschedule once because of an emergency, and another time because I realized my husband should be present so we could both learn and consistently reinforce the training. I was told they would get back to me with weekend availability. They never did. That was months ago, and I never heard back. We paid thousands of dollars specifically because Bark Busters advertised lifetime support, but when we actually needed that support, it simply wasn't there. The contrast between Henry's training with Bark Busters and the excellent training we received years ago from a local Burbank trainer is significant. Charlie, our other dog- three years younger than Henry, has outstanding manners because of those sessions in group training. Henry never received the ongoing guidance that Bark Busters promised, and we're left feeling like we paid a premium price for a service that effectively ended after the initial visit. If you're considering Bark Busters because of the "lifetime support" promise, I would reconsider... For us, it did not live up to the expectations that were set when we signed up.

Unfortunately, this place was a HUGE disappointment and had a huge negative impact on our pup. Long story short -- Everything here is a sales grab. The few girls care for the animals but the "managers" and men there are just there for the commission of your packages. I had a whole conversation about their unethical sales pitching with the employee while picking up my dog lol. It's "how they keep the place open" - the employee's words, not mine. Astounding. Said employee also asked what I did for a living because I questioned their sales pitch tactics -- I'm in sales. Also, If you need their VIP services for your unspayed or neutered pup, please spend your money elsewhere!! Before committing to a membership, we did a trial day and spent hundreds on drop in days, grooming, and overnight boarding to see if it was a good fit for our high energy pup. Our dog is not neutered and we don't plan on getting him neutered so we chose their VIP rooms. His breed is also extremely high energy and they promised they could accommodate. I also inquired about training multiple times and they kept saying the trainer would contact me. Everything went great after those few visits, they seemed caring and said he was a great fit for a membership so we end up signing up. Then everything went downhill. Upon the first day of the membership, our dog all of a sudden had behavior issues and needed to be picked up. In the middle of my work day I call the shift manager, and he states that if we want our dog to stay, he needs training ... (from their same trainer that I've inquired 3x about before committing to a membership, still haven't heard back). I asked why this wasn't communicated ever before committing to a membership and they didn't have an answer. I informed them that I would've paid for training before committing to a membership if they would've let me know that there were any issues. Our dog went a couple of more times until they could finally get me in touch with the trainer, 6 visits later. Actually I had lost complete trust at this facility. To add insult to injury, I was able to speak to one of their actual workers that is with the dogs and she let me know that our dog is only let out for about 10 minutes at a time, maybe 3 to 4 times a day during a 12 hour stay. This is their VIP option. So not only is he left in a room for about 12 hours a day, with dogs barking all around him, he's not being stimulated nor played with just being let out to go to the bathroom. Contradicting everything they say that they offer. Their "trainer" is also a joke. He is supposed to be from the Marines and well-versed in the breed of dog that we have. Upon washing him for 5 minutes, as I was told, he said that our dog needed to be neutered before he could be trained because of his energy. Our dog is a Malinois and is not supposed to be neutered before 2 years of age. We've since went elsewhere to get our dog trained from someone who is actually educated on his breed and he's worked on all of his anxiety and reactivity issues that our pup got because of this place.

I am so happy to have found Lori! She has made such a difference in our lives and in the lives of our 2 dogs. My husband and I recently adopted our 4 month old puppy from the shelter and really needed help and guidance with him. Aside from needing help with basic puppy manners, he has very bad separation anxiety. I spoke to Lori on the phone and she was so likable and full of helpful information so I ended up setting up a training session with her. She arrived at our house and within a few minutes of working with our little guy, he was listening to her and doing exactly what she wanted him to do (without any protest). She also started the separation anxiety training with him and it was so surprising that she calmed him down so quickly. I was so impressed and happy because I realized that it is indeed possible to help him. She also spent time with our 7 year old golden retriever who needed some help with walking on the leash. Within a few moments, Lori had her walking properly without pulling. My ultimate goal is to be able to walk both our dogs simultaneously without any pulling, charging, etc. With both of our dogs, she had me practicing what she was teaching and was correcting me with the techniques as well. I am so appreciative for all of her help and insight so far. I also like that she is available by text and phone. She even followed up the next morning to see how things went overnight. She is truly concerned for and cares for our dogs and that is what I was looking for in a trainer. It's truly amazing how much of an improvement we are already seeing with only 2 sessions. We will continue to work with Lori and we are all looking forward to our next session. read more

I live alone, and when Covid hit, I like many others, decided to get a puppy. I had grown up with dogs and training looked so easy. Well it wasn't! The more i tried to control him, the tougher and more defiant he became. I tried training both boarding and at home, but nothing was working. the more frustrated I became, the more he won! Buddy is a retriever and a lover, but i was torn and on the verge of giving him away. My grandchildren wouldn't go near him, he was so wild. When Buddy was a year old, Lori came into our lives. We began training and things calmed down immediately. She has a calmness and connection with dogs and Buddy fell in love immediately. He waits by the window for her. She is kind but firm. She has a way of training that works with your way of life. And its not just the dogs that need training! Lori is all about positive reinforcement. "Good Boy" is a favorite phrase now in our house. Lori taught us both how important boundaries are. That boundaries are necessary, not cruel. and that has made all the difference for us. My grandchildren love him. And needless to say, he's not going anywhere. Now as my days are getting busier, Lori also walks Buddy a few times a week. read more

We had the training session via Facetime, which is why I took one star down. Understood this is inevitable during pandemic as well as the distancewise, would still prefer having trainer to the house to demonstrate if possible. The whole hour has gone by fast, we went through what we've been doing with the puppy and show around the house so she can get an idea of the environment we have. Focused on two points of puppy jumping on people and biting, both have improved after using air spray for the hiss sound. She would have us do some commands and watched us doing it to make sure it was done correctly. I do recommend the session for people who didn't have any background on raising a puppy. It is a good start to get summary and know the basic before moving forward. It is good that Lori did the follow up via text within a week to check on the training status, and she is very willing to share some tools link used for training purpose. read more

I am so grateful to Lori for all her help with my giant Pyredoodle puppy. We met Lori walking her dogs while we were walking our dog on the street. I was so impressed by how well trained her dogs were that we started chatting. She was already giving pointers before we even hired her! She is so warm, kind, and patient not only with our dog, but also with my two young children. After our first session, we already started to see a big difference in our dog's behavior. Lori just gets dogs and helps bridge that gap between dogs and humans. She is so helpful and knowledgable. She also knows many other families in the community so she even facilitated doggie playdates so the pups could learn to socialize. This was so helpful, especially in the time of Covid. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone who needs to train their dog quickly and effectively. Thank you Lori!! read more

She also trained me to not be a pushover- good for both of us. I can't recommend her highly enough. Judith Strick- and Dash read more

Lori is amazing. We had her come over to help us with our 5 month old puppy. In just one session our puppy is listening to us and responding to commands. We are really grateful that we got lucky with an awesome trainer who truly knows what she is doing. Her confidence left us feeling confident about our puppy's behavior and future. Definitely going to call her in the future. read more

As others have written, Lori is amazing. We immediately saw the effect of her training. Her directions are sensible and clear--helpful for humans as well as dogs! She also follows up after each session to see how we are doing and encouraged us to contact her with questions between session. I HIGHLY recommend working with Lori. read more

During this sunny weekend we went out for a walk and was amazed. The dogs were trained to walk without leashes and on command. A wonderful and kind trainer with great understanding on how to train dogs in a positive, caring manner to help you with your pets. read more

Lori Hoffman was fantastic. We did a session with our new rescue lab mix, 7 months old and we see improvement already. I had mixed feelings about crate training but after she explained it we went ahead and it is working! read more

No surprise, but Laura did it again. Last time she calmed our standard poodle. This time she…read moretrained our 75 lb german shepherd who is both stronger and smarter than I am. Now he's a perfect love. Playful when we feel like playing, sleeping when we need peace. He does go a little nutty every time Laura comes to the house but she calms him right down. I don't know how, but dogs seem to know she's the leader of the pack

We must also give our unconditional vote of approval for this most outstanding dog/people trainer…read more From the beginning, it became readily apparent that she established a connection with Frankie our 6 month old Chocolate Lab . Even though I had trained many dogs in the past, Frankie, with his nearly uncontrollable puppy exuberance presented quite a challenge with even teaching him the basic commands. Fortunately, after reading the strong positive reviews on Yelp we brought in Laura Bourhenne to the rescue. We marveled how quickly through positive reinforcement she connected with Frankie and patiently taught us the skilled techniques she uses to train and reinforce the lessons. Most importantly, whatever the command, Laura has emphasized the need to establish a solid understanding with our pup where in he views us as in command and looks to us for direction. Laura is a wonderful, highly skilled trainer and it has been a great pleasure to know we can rely on her to intelligently help us resolve all puppy related issues. BTW, for those who might be interested in knowing more about Laura and her techniques, you can go to her website, Animal Attraction Unlimited and listen to any of her instructive podcasts.

The transformation in his behavior, obedience, and confidence has been incredible. Kaylin was professional, knowledgeable, and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process. She kept me updated on Kano's progress, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood how to continue his training during our one-on-one sessions. A huge thank you to Kaylin and the entire staff at Canis Behavior & Training for all of the hard work, dedication, and care you gave Kano. It truly shows how much you love what you do and how much you care about the dogs you train. I highly recommend Canis Behavior & Training to anyone looking for top-quality dog training. If you're considering training your dog, this is the place to go. Thank you all again for everything you did for Kano!

Kaitlyn is the type of person who takes pride in her craft and will love your fur child like her own. Her patience, communication, and genuine care were evident from day one. She took the time to understand Nellie's personality, walked us through the process every step of the way, and made sure we felt confident and prepared to continue the training at home. What stood out most was how personalized the experience felt. Kaitlyn tailored her approach to Nellie specifically, and the results speak for themselves. Nellie came home happier, more confident, and so much better behaved than I ever expected.

He was on time and polite and just easy to be around. He listened to our concerns with our 5 month old cavapoo puppy and then really gave us a ton of knowledge about how dogs communicate and operate in general as well as breaking down the cause of our dogs current bad/odd behavior and how to fix it. He taught us how to communicate with our dog so that we can give him the structure he needs to be a happy and healthy dog. T also gave us a ton of resources that will save us a lot of money in the future as dog parents. He is worth every penny and then some and you should really not bother looking any further for the right trainer- you found him! :) Thanks T!

Dog Sitting by Ally

I guess it's time for another update because somehow every year I become even more grateful for…read moreAlly and Travis. Lately, I've seen so many heartbreaking stories about doggy daycares: dogs getting hurt, neglected, escaping, or simply not being treated with the love they deserve. Every time I read one, my first thought is the same: thank God Nova has Ally and Travis. Nova has been coming here since he was just 6 months old. He's now about to turn 5, which means they've been part of nearly his entire life. They've watched him grow from a timid, reactive puppy into the confident, happy dog he is today. They know his quirks, his routines, what makes him nervous, what makes him excited, and they have loved every version of him along the way. As dog owners, we all know there are very few people we'd trust with our entire heart. That's what our dogs are. They're not just pets, they're family. And somehow Ally and Travis have earned a level of trust that I didn't even know was possible. I've left Nova with them for the longest periods I've ever left him with anyone, and I've never once laid awake wondering if he was okay. There has never been a moment where I questioned whether he was safe, loved, exercised, or cared for. That kind of peace is priceless, and if you're a dog parent, you know exactly what I mean. What means the most to me is that Nova makes the choice himself every single time. The second he realizes where we're going, he's beside himself with excitement. If he doesn't get to see Ally or Travis, he cries. When he does, he runs to them without looking back. As someone whose dog was once fearful of people, seeing him love someone that deeply tells me everything I need to know. Dogs don't fake trust. They don't pretend to feel safe. They either do, or they don't. Nova has never questioned whether Ally and Travis are his people. Over the years, they've been there through my work schedule, my vacations, family emergencies, and every moment in between. They have given me something I can never truly repay: the ability to go through life knowing that the biggest piece of my heart is safe. That feeling is something every dog parent hopes to find, and so few actually do. Even if life takes me somewhere else one day, if I'm ever back in town and need someone to watch Nova, there is no question where he's going. I would drive hours just to leave him with Ally and Travis because trust like this isn't replaceable. They're not just our daycare: they're part of Nova's family. If you're scrolling through reviews wondering whether this is the right place for your dog, I hope this helps. Five years later, after hundreds of drop-offs and pickups, I can say with complete confidence that choosing Ally and Travis was one of the best decisions I've ever made for Nova. They have loved him like he was their own, and I will spend the rest of his life being grateful for that.

I'm so glad we got to go to Ally again! She is just so wonderful with our Ken. I can really tell…read morethat she loves dogs! Our Ken had all smiles in the pictures when left with Ally.
