“John feels like an old family friend! Our scared new rescue Billy, is very scared and barks when she feels threatened, never barked at John. She’s slowly beginning to trust more and more comfortable thanks to John’s patient and calm demeanor. It’s like he’s the real dog whisperer! He’s realistic and honest about time and processes with fearful dogs like ours and we can see the “homeworks” working on Billy. Couldn’t recommend his services more!”

“I have a feeling our training sessions with Lipika are going to be life changing. Such a warm soul and so knowledgeable. My boys loved her as did I! Cant wait to see how my 12 week old Aussie matures with her training guidance 🥹 11/10!”

“Carlos was an absolute pleasure to work with over the course of our seven weekly sessions. Like many first‑time dog owners, I had a moment of “what did I get myself into?” when I brought home my nine‑week‑old puppy. Carlos’s calm, patient approach changed everything. From the very first lesson (my dog started at age twelve weeks), he gave me confidence that I could train my puppy and that my puppy could actually master each step. The program starts with the basics and each week builds naturally on the last. Week-by-week, both my confidence and my puppy’s confidence grew dramatically. If you’re willing to put in the work between sessions, you’ll see the training take hold and set your dog on the right path. I highly recommend Carlos’s seven‑week program to build your skills, your confidence and your dog’s ability to become a well‑trained, well‑behaved companion.”

About: I believe successful training starts with educating both the dog and the owner. I take time to explain each exercise so families understand how to continue making progress between sessions. My goal is to create lasting results through clear communication, consistency, and positive reinforcement in real-life environments.

About: At the heart of my training programs is Positive Reinforcement. Instead of focusing on what your dog does wrong, I teach them exactly what you want them to do right. I like to focus of the pup pups dealing with separation anxiety No Pain, No Fear: I strictly avoid aversive tools like shock collars, choke chains, or prong collars. This prevents anxiety and creates a safe, engaging environment for your dog to learn.

“I asked Beste for help with my dog’s jumping and leash pulling. She was so patient and explained everything clearly not just to my dog but to me too! I could already see a difference after first session. She genuinely loves dogs and it shows!”

“Khafren is really great with my dog, Sunday. My puppy is tiny at 3lbs and Khafren is very gentle and patient. Sunday loves learning and interacting with Khafren during her training session.”

About: What sets me apart is my intuitive, compassionate approach and my ability to read your dog. I prioritize teaching owners how to communicate clearly and confidently with their dogs, creating lasting results beyond the session. I’m patient, adaptable, and focused on building trust. I genuinely care about your dog’s well-being and their own success, and I’m committed to creating a positive experience every step of the way.

“Finding someone who truly understands and sincerely loves dogs is rare, but finding someone to help theirs behave with a consistent gentle approach is a blessing. Jill is that rare gem. She connects with furry ones so well it’s as though she thinks with their perspective—my Cowboy adores her and responds to her with focus and respect. Thanks to Jill he is happier, more confident, and better behaved. For anyone looking for someone to treat their family member with love, care, and patience, I cannot recommend this dog lover enough.”

“Working with Helen was one of the best decisions I made for my dog. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about both me and my dog throughout the entire process. After training, my dog became calmer, more focused, and much more reliable in public settings. Helen also gave me the guidance and support I needed to maintain the results at home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled dog trainer.”

“Highly recommend XiaoXi Wang! She trained my Golden Retriever July, and the whole experience went so smoothly. XiaoXi is incredibly patient and really gets each dog's personality — no harsh methods, just positive encouragement that actually works. Thanks to her, July can now do Heel, Sit, Down, Go to Spot, and Leave It — the progress has been amazing! She also shared tips on how to keep practicing at home, which was super helpful. If you're looking for a dog trainer, just go with XiaoXi — you won't regret it!”

“Isabel was wonderful! She traveled over 30 minutes to visit with us. She came over and was very helpful. I felt that she provided above and beyond services in terms of observing and suggesting. She gave such good information and I felt that she spent extra time with us. Plan on continuing to work with her!”

“Skyler’s consultation was fantastic! My dog immediately bonded with her, and I felt like she was meeting an old friend. I shared what led me to book with her and my goals for Jewels. She explained how we can help him become more obedient at home through training, noting that he’s a quick learner, so he should pick things up quickly. She also suggested my good Kong and lick mat, along with more training opportunities, which I’m planning to explore.”

“Regina was so great and knowledgeable! She was able to identify what my two dogs needed and how to help them. She gave me homework to work on with them, and ways to continue improving their behaviors. So grateful I found her. Looking forward to continuing working with her.”

“Kai is an incredibly kind and uplifting trainer and his holistic approach is exactly what we were looking for. He completely nailed the root of the issue in our very first meeting, offering strategies that were so brilliantly simple they made us think, “Why didn't we think of that?” After being repeatedly told that our rescue dog's resource guarding was an incurable, lost cause, it was such a relief to get genuine hope from Kai and the approaches we could use to ease the issue. He was incredibly understanding and compassionate throughout our time together. On top of his expertise, he connected with our dog immediately. We truly feel like we are in great hands!”

“Holly Lyons is hands-down the best puppy trainer! She doesn’t just train your dog. She teaches you how to be a confident, knowledgeable, and responsible dog owner. Her approach is positive, clear, and incredibly effective. Thanks to Holly, we have a well-behaved puppy and the skills to keep growing together. We highly recommend her.”

About: I make sure to write condensed emails for my clients about topics we may have discussed in our sessions and other resource information that is applicable.

“Ana was amazing. Very knowledgeable and not pushy towards certain training. She went above and beyond to learn my pup and his habits to create a plan. Saw some results right off the bat and will continue to work with her. If you are thinking twice, stop and at least do a consultation you won’t regret it! Thanks Ana!”

“Allie understands and cares about dogs and their humans. She’s patient, clear, and positive, and she gives practical, step-by-step homework that’s easy to follow between sessions. We adopted a reactive dog from a shelter, and Allie helped us pinpoint what was driving the reactivity and exactly what to do in the moment. Her approach is research-based (we’re working through BAT training), which gave us confidence. We’ve seen measurable progress after every session and felt supported throughout. We recommend Allie to anyone dealing with reactivity or wanting a trainer who delivers real results.”

“He was awesome!!!”

“Amazing! So knowledgeable and made training our puppy feel so-able!”

“Kurt listened to my concerns. He gave my 3 week from a shelter dog time to get comfortable. I feel like I was professionally guided with a gentle, calm approach. My dog even got to play with his dog a little. He evaluated him in a neutral territory. I now know more about BART. He likes horses is non reactive , not a big prey drive either. I feel his behavior is better than shoulder be expected. My nerves are calmer, and that’s saying a lot. Thank you Kurt, I have more hope now.”

About: I don't focus solely on treats. I'm able to win the dogs mind over to where they respect and mind their owner the first time. Positive reinforcement in a new light.

“Dario was highly recommended to me by Spark Rescue SB. Captain took right to him. As soon as he heard him whistle, he'd run out to greet him. Dario taught both Captain & myself a lot. He's patient, knowledgeable, consistent, and gets many positive results. One thing I learned from the gate. It's more about training the human than the animal.”
