Rubi is a wonderful dog trainer. Our 1.5 year old rescue, being mostly Australian cattle dog and…read morehaving been maltreated by a man, needed a bit of training. Rubi customized the training at every session, based on how Diego was doing. She picked up on things he needed to work on (noticed he was getting very attached to us and was starting to show signs of separation anxiety). We worked on it right away and it was solved. He loves to learn and has become the most amazing dog. Rubi is kind, patient, a great listener, dog and people reader. She is phenomenal (and super fairly priced)!

In addition to Rubi's talented dog training skills, she is also very communicative and responds promptly, she's on time, and she gets right to the point upon arrival, which really helps maximize our allotted time with her. Another thing a truly appreciate about Rubi is her wonderful way of communicating with my 6 and 9 yr old boys. She uses the right words for them to understand how their actions can help our new puppy learn better. Rubi is professional and fun! I would recommend her, with confidence, to any of my friends and family in need of pet training, and I would recommend her to you if you are in need. You won't regret it. Thank you Rubi!

Are they under new ownership? What has changed?…read more We've used Camp Run-A-Mutt several times over the years for overnight boarding and have always had a great experience, which is why this recent stay was so surprising. When making the reservation, I noticed that a few of my dog's vaccinations would expire during his stay. We took care of getting them updated weeks in advance and made sure the vaccination certificates were sent to Camp Run-A-Mutt. I even confirmed with a staff member at the front desk that they had received everything and that my dog was all set for his stay. A few days before our trip, I received a call saying my dog was missing vaccinations. I asked which ones, and of course they were the very vaccinations we had already updated and submitted. I explained that they had the records, the employee put me on hold, then came back and confirmed everything was in order and said they'd see him on Thursday. Then things got even more frustrating. On Thursday, as I was landing in another state for my vacation, my daughter--who was dropping my dog off before catching her own flight--called me in a panic. She was being told they couldn't accept him because his rabies vaccine wasn't up to date. I immediately called the facility and explained that we had already confirmed his records twice. The employee put me on hold, checked the records, and sure enough, they had his current rabies certificate the entire time. They admitted everything was up to date and accepted him. A few days later, while we were still out of state, I received another call saying my dog was being quarantined and separated from the other dogs because his vaccinations supposedly weren't current. At this point, this was the third time in less than a week that the exact same issue had come up. I again explained that his vaccinations were current and that their staff had already confirmed this multiple times. The employee put me on hold and never came back to the phone. Thankfully, my daughter was only a few hours away and was able to rush over and pick him up. When I called to pay for his stay over the phone and let them know he was being picked up, I was initially told they couldn't accept payment over the phone. That was confusing because I've paid over the phone for previous stays without any issue. When I asked if it was a new policy, the employee admitted it wasn't--they just didn't know how to process a phone payment. They had to get someone else to help before I was finally able to pay. I'm honestly not sure what's changed, but the organization and communication were completely different from the excellent service we've received in the past. The repeated confusion over vaccination records--which they already had on file and repeatedly confirmed--caused unnecessary stress while my family was traveling out of state and ultimately resulted in our dog being removed from daycare and picked up early. We've always been happy with Camp Run-A-Mutt, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I hope this was just an isolated breakdown in communication, but based on our recent experience, I no longer feel confident leaving my dog there.

Justin took the time to explain what was driving the behavior and the emotions behind it, which helped us understand our dog so much better. I'm not exaggerating--within about 20 minutes, we saw a huge improvement! We went on a great walk, and Justin gave us tons of practical advice and tools to keep making progress. We left feeling so happy, relieved, and much more confident. We couldn't recommend him enough!

She's always been a little anxious and vocal, but as she's gotten older, both issues have worsened. I've tried just about every other approach, but Justin's guidance and unique perspective on training are truly transformative. He doesn't just give you techniques to follow--he teaches you how to connect with your dog and ease the underlying issue in a way they can understand. The lifelong resource you gain through this service, combined with the trust and confidence he builds throughout the process, makes this feel like so much more than a training program. It has genuinely been life-changing for us both.

She's not reactive, she has great recall, she makes friends, I can have people over, she listens to commands, and she's so easy to walk. I took her into the vet this week and they removed the 'bite risk' warning from her file, they said it's like a completely different dog. She's not anxious or fearful. She's confident, playful, and so happy. All of this was because of training with John. He is patient, gentle, and kind. I can't put into words how grateful I am that we found him. I recommend him to every dog owner I know.

After scheduling an appointment with Jared, we were impressed by his demeanor. Our primary concerns were our dog's reactivity towards other dogs and people, separation anxiety, and helping him walk comfortably on a leash. We were connected to Jared at America's Finest Dog Training through a friend at the gym. When we adopted our dog, he was already 3 months old and had received some training. We initially thought that would be enough, but since his trainers were located in the inland empire, it made it difficult to communicate and follow up. We scheduled a session with Jared and were immediately drawn to his demeanor. Our main concerns revolved around our dog's reactivity towards other dogs and people, separation anxiety, and his comfort while walking on a leash. Jared was a dog handler in the air force and his style is very suited to working dogs that require a lot more structure than a typical breeds and therefore i was excited for his to work with my Doberman. Ive had other breeds of working dogs but the Dobbie has a very high driver to work therefore sought out his help, I have been very happy with the resuls that I received from the training,. In one session in about 10 minutes we taught my dog to heel and not run up and down the stairs. he is patient, personable and very professional. I would highly recommend Jared to others that want to provide some structure and training to their dogs especially if they are working dogs and you also have some time and committment to reinforce the training

Another tip: if you have a hairy dog like ours, I'd suggest brushing them before the wash and after since it helps de-hair them. We've taken our medium size dog to this wash for almost a year and it's been great. There's always a wash available. They provide: shampoo, hair brush, pink scrub brush, aprons and towels. We'll bring in our our shampoo and towels. And we'll buy the pup-friendly cookies to give our dog as motivation to stay happy throughout the bath. Overall, we're happy with this service and my only complaint is that they'd offer later hours on weekdays.

There are groomers, and then there are people like Espy…read more From the very first appointment, I could tell that grooming isn't just a job for her--it's something she genuinely cares about. She has such a calm, compassionate spirit, and animals can feel that. My Maltipoo, Micah, completely trusts her, and as a dog mom, that means everything to me. Micah is relaxed when he's with Espy, and that gives me so much peace of mind. She takes her time, handles him with patience and kindness, and always makes sure he's comfortable throughout the entire grooming process. You can tell she sees each pet as an individual, not just another appointment on the schedule. Every time I pick Micah up, he not only looks absolutely adorable, but he also seems happy, confident, and well cared for. That speaks volumes about the environment Espy creates. Trust is earned, and Espy has earned ours completely. If you're looking for someone who will love and care for your fur baby as if they were her own, I cannot recommend Espy enough. Her gentle heart, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. Thank you, Espy, for taking such incredible care of Micah. We're so grateful to have found you.
