He was available to come by on Mother's Day afternoon because he felt my desperation with our new rescue not being very kind to my smaller children. He was quick to suggest a time to swing by, his consult was fair, thorough and quite frankly generous! He spent enough time with us and our pup to make some recommendations. Because he is senior our options are a bit more limited with his conditions. Joey is a community treasure did all fur loving families in the peninsula. Don't waste a second reaching out and have your pup be seems by a true natural professional! Thank you for being awesome and making my Mother's Day involve my fur baby too! ;) should we bring a other bundle of love into our home, know you'll be the first I'd call for guidance for a good fit!

Steve at One Day Dog Training is truly one of the most special and remarkable people I have ever…read morehad the privilege of learning from, and an absolute delight to spend a day with. I have decades of experience fostering dogs and personally adopting many of my own, and over the years I've worked with a wide range of trainers. Without question, Steve is in a league entirely of his own. His talent, intuition, and depth of understanding when it comes to dogs is extraordinary. He doesn't just train dogs; he teaches humans how to truly understand them. What made the experience even more unforgettable was the joy he brought into the day. We laughed constantly. At one point my cheeks genuinely hurt from hours of smiling and laughter. And yet, amid all of that warmth and humor, we walked away with an incredibly clear, grounded, and practical understanding of his methods and a deep sense of confidence in our ability to apply them. Steve's approach is refreshingly doable: just five minutes of training per day, paired with his ongoing availability as a resource. That combination alone feels invaluable. We literally just completed our training day today, so I plan to update this review in a few months with more detail about long-term ease of execution and results with our dog, Griffin. But one thing I feel compelled to share now is this: throughout the entire day, even while Griffin was dramatically protesting (vocally, and with flair), Steve remained calm, steady, and completely unfazed. Griffin didn't love everything he was being asked to do, but he clearly adored Steve. He never cowered, never shut down, never showed fear. That level of trust speaks volumes. At one point, I asked Steve about scheduling an additional training day for one of our other dogs. His response was thoughtful, sensible, and deeply ethical: he told me it wouldn't be necessary. He explained that the principles I was learning with Griffin would absolutely apply to our other dogs as well, and that he'd be more than happy to answer questions along the way. That moment really matters to me because it so clearly reflects that Steve is driven by genuine passion and care for people and dogs, not by squeezing every possible dollar out of his clients. I also want to wholeheartedly acknowledge Tasha, who was incredibly kind, responsive, and compassionate throughout the scheduling process. We had to cancel our original training day due to a traumatic injury our other dog, Enzo, sustained: a spinal stroke. Tasha immediately offered to refund our deposit without hesitation. When I shared that I still very much wanted to work with Steve, she later went out of her way to find us an earlier date than originally offered after I asked to be notified of any cancellations. That level of care and humanity meant so much during a really difficult time. I am profoundly grateful for Steve and his entire team. This was one of the most positive, affirming, and empowering experiences I've ever had as a dog guardian. If you're looking for the best, congratulations. You have found it with One Day Dog Training!

Amazing Dog Training session with Steve Miles of One Day Dog Training today!…read more My husband and I were "beside ourselves" with the incessant barking, lack of focus, dog walking struggles behavior that Finn (1 1/2 yr old) Maltipoo had started displaying over the past 6 months. We had tried various tactics, treats to rid Finn of his "bad habits" We were referred to One Day Dog Training through some close friends who had worked with Steve to train their 2 dogs. From the start.. Finn really took to Steve. Steve is personable, knowledgeable, and patient. His love for dogs is felt. He put our minds at ease from the start. Through the training, Steve took time to teach us how to better understand dog behavior and how we can better communicate what we want our dog to do...It was very enlightening. It was an education for us and Finn! At the end of our 3 hour session, we were really amazed to see a transformed young dog. We are soooo proud of Finn. The 3 of us have learned so much! Thank You, Steve!

As first-time dog owners, bringing home our Bernedoodle puppy felt equal parts exciting and…read moreoverwhelming. She was quiet and a bit confused in those early days, and we honestly didn't know what "normal" even looked like. We started working with Jared literally the day after we brought her home, and that made all the difference. What stood out right away is that he doesn't just train the dog, he helps you understand your dog's psychology. That shift was huge for us. Instead of guessing or reacting, we started to feel like we actually knew what she needed and how to respond. He guided us through the basics like potty training and getting her to sleep through the night, and once those clicked, life got dramatically easier. More importantly, he gave us a framework we can keep using as new challenges come up. Our puppy still has some separation anxiety and can be a bit needy, but now it feels manageable. We're making steady, incremental progress and feel confident we have the tools to keep going. Jared has also been great with our whole family. He builds trust quickly, explains things clearly, and makes everyone feel comfortable and capable. You never feel judged or overwhelmed. If you're a first-time dog owner, especially with a young puppy, I'd strongly recommend working with him early. It sets the right foundation and saves you a lot of stress down the line.

One thing that stood out to me is how much emphasis he puts on teaching *us* how to communicate with our dogs effectively, which makes the results stick long-term. Before his help, having guests over was nearly impossible--our dogs would get overwhelmed and reactive. Now, we're able to host gatherings without worry, and the difference in their behavior is night and day. It's been such a relief to see them more relaxed and balanced. The progress we've made feels huge, and it's all thanks to Jared's thoughtful and practical training style. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for real, lasting change.

I had talked with a few other private trainers, but I found their style off putting and a bit patronizing. Working with Will feels collaborative. My dog loved him from the start. From our first session I learned things I could immediately incorporate into my daily walks with my dog Gracie. He's wonderful with Gracie, but also with humans too. I'm pretty sure it's the humans that need the training! I'm doing some group training classes as well and those are helpful, but I get much more from a private session with Will. And, we can focus on what's most important for me and my dog. That's well worth it. I highly recommend him.

She was clearly taken care of well and came out looking so clean, soft, and refreshed. One thing that made the whole visit even easier was the parking. They have several designated spots, and there is even a 1 hour spot that is usually open. Since drop off for grooming only takes about 5 minutes, parking was honestly not an issue at all. The shop itself also feels new, clean, and refreshing, which makes a big difference when you are leaving your dog in someone else's care. Overall, very smooth experience, and I would definitely bring Happee back.

Dog grooming review: I have had my dog for about a year and…read morea half and initially took him to their old location. The grooming was great and it was highly affordable at $109. Less than a year and a half later, new location, and the price of grooming went to $170. The quality of grooming went down and on the most recent groom., it seems the groomer may have nicked my dog with dirty Shears which led to a cyst an infection. This ended up being a $900 emergency room visit. Whilst I can't confirm this is what happened, it is highly suspected from the vet as the cyst became noticeable a few days later. Like I said, the quality of the grooming plus the increase in Price and grooming over 1.5 years is a bit too much and therefore I have started to look at other places.

I'm actually quite disappointed to be writing a 3 star review for this training. However I think…read moreit's really important to share my perspective. I have a now 14 week old puppy and called to ask about training, when a good time to start was and about what they do. Pat was nice on the phone and even though he (the dog) would be 10 weeks at the start of training she said it was perfectly fine. I found out otherwise though from many other professionals. The first day is a very long orientation with good info but she tends to get off on tangents so beware of your time.... she is also very affordable $150 total. the second class is the first day with dogs. Though we split into three groups, the young dog group is by far the biggest. Pat claims that she can handle the large group but you get very little one on one help from her. She demos and then watches sometimes from a distance but with a group that big 12+ dogs and even more people it is overwhelming. She also does very long talks throughout the class which is hard for the young dogs to stay still that long. The reason I am going to not attend the final 5 sessions is because my dog was singled out during the last session for being "reactive and aggressive." He is a 13 week old Labrador. He was barking and jumping, trying to go near the other dogs and it was about him wanting to play. He needs more leash training but is not people or dog aggressive. I do a lot of at home and at barn training with him on my own. That seems normal and there were A LOT of dogs. She immediately told her assistant to not make eye contact and not go near or touch him. The biggest problem was that she, using her microphone, pointed several times to us during her aggressive and reactive dog talk, and made many many assumptions about my puppy. For instance she assumed I had never met the parents of my dog or looked up the breeder. That is very wrong however as I spent a lot of time choosing my dog. Also... why would that matter? There's a lot of rescues at her training so would it be that bad if I didn't meet the dog's parents? He never once snarled, growled or tried to bite, ever. But he wasn't allowed near the dogs during their socializing time and we continually were referenced in very negative ways. She eventually sent someone to work 1:1 with us for his jumping but Pat never seems to do that herself. The other trainer is why I'm not giving 1 or 2 stars. The other trainer was great and was not even concerned about not touching him. She seemed to really like him. And at the end of class Pat again signaled to us and had me stay so that all of the other trainers could be aware of his "reactive and aggressive" behavior. She said I needed to stay to see how bad he was. The other trainers looked confused because he was not reacting at all. He could sit, lay down, watch and was so good. I should have just left. Of course she still wouldn't admit that maybe he just wanted to play with the other dogs. I think that group was far too big and there is way too much going on at that venue. I am disappointed to loose the affordable training but I left the class in tears because of her assumptions and dismissiveness of everything I would tell her about him. It's hard to hear that your dog is acting aggressive and even if he was, I don't think she needed to announce it to 15+ people on her microphone and reference him as what could happen to other people's dogs.... just humiliating. The instructions you get could be found on YouTube. Spend a little more money on training and try another place out.

I fell for the pandemic puppy trap earlier this year when I decided to get a puppy! Seeing my…read morefriends' dogs and cute puppies around, I only assumed it would be great to have a companion in my life. Little did I know that cuteness overload comes with a lot of responsibility and struggles, especially since I live alone, and have never had a pet in my life. In fact, as a kid, I was extremely scared of dogs! I knew I had to get a trainer when after the 2nd week, I started feeling overwhelmed with my puppy's energy and tantrums. Thankfully I found Diane! She has been a great mentor if I could use this word to guide me through my pup training journey. We had two formal sessions - 1st one was a 3 hour phone call where she patiently answered all my questions and gave me 100s of tools and things to buy and learn to build a "puppy training toolkit". The 2nd session was a 3 hour in person training session where she introduced training collar and other tools and showed me how to stop certain behaviors. The best thing is that Diane has been kind enough to answer stupid and repeated questions from me over text or phone at any time of the day. If I've felt overwhelmed, I've always had comfort to know that I have a personal counsellor/mentor available. Diane shared a lot of tools, tricks, and methods - most of them work great, some don't - some do, but not always - but that is just because each dog is different and each dog-parent relationship is unique. I am just glad to have all those tools and information available to tap into whenever I run into any challenge. I feel super confident in my puppy's training and the fact that I have all I need to train my puppy well, thanks to Diane! My puppy Zoya has been sleeping safe and sound in her crate from day 1, and sleeping all night from the moment I reached out to Diane. Zoya is fully potty trained, and walks on leash like a confident yet obedient queen! Diane is extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviors, illnesses, eating habits, and tantrums - and I always reach out to her first, before I reach out to my vet! I trust Diane, and I promise you will also!

The stars aligned in bring her to us because she is more than a rockstar dog trainer & coach, but she is a trusted member of our family who I hold at a high level of respect. She helped us organize our apartment so that our puppy could be introduced into our space over time, she taught us how to walk our dramatic doodle for the first time, she helped our doodle meet a pack of his own during his walks, gave us food, supplement, and toy recommendations. She walked us through what to do when our puppy was misbehaving and incorporates a firm, yet loving technique so the dog knows who is boss. I can still hear her voice in the back of my head, "Christine you need to be firm, he cannot win." Puppies test your patience and Diane truly is our advocate in learning how to not only redirect his actions but build confidence in being first time dog owners. I've learned more in the months with Diane than I could have ever learned through a book or online. I am forever grateful to her, the bond that she's helped us create with our dog, the bond that she herself has created with our dog, and the continued guidance she offers as we continue to grow. I would recommend Diane to my friends and family.

He encouraged me to create healthy boundaries with Mango and offered practical solutions, along with dietary supplements, to support her emotionally and physically. I had no idea that excess energy could actually contribute to anxiety in dogs! Josh suggested adjusting her meal plan, and that alone made a huge difference. He also gave me plenty of tips and tricks to help Mango naturally regulate her anxiety. And since his program includes lifetime training, he's continued to guide me whenever I have questions or notice old behaviors resurfacing. Josh reassured me that if I stayed consistent with the regimen he provided, Mango would be okay, and he was absolutely right. She's like a whole new dog now! At 4 years old She can stay home calmly without destroying furniture or becoming overly needy.
