About: I know that every dog and every owner is different, so I don’t believe in a "one size fits all" approach. I take the time to understand your dog’s personality and your goals, and then create a plan that feels realistic and manageable. I have a very active Belgian Malinois that can be destructive if not given commands, etc, so I understand how overwhelming training can feel at times. I’m here to support you without judgment, celebrate the small wins, and help you build real confidence along the way. =)_

“Carlos is a great trainer, he was to pinpoint what our dog needed very quickly, was very helpful, answered all our questions and took the time to explain everything in details. He showed us how to help our dog and made us practice which was great for us.”

“"I cannot recommend Jill highly enough! She has been absolutely wonderful with my dog and has a natural gift for building a pup’s confidence. One of our biggest hurdles was staying calm around other dogs, and Jill’s techniques have made a world of difference. She also helped us tackle 'door dashing.' My dog used to charge the front door every time it opened, but now she waits quietly, sitting several feet away until she’s invited. If you’re looking for a trainer who is patient, knowledgeable, and gets real results, Jill is the best!"”

“I can’t recommend Alex enough! He was patient, knowledgeable, and truly cared about my fur baby. Thanks to his one-on-one training, Abby now knows how to sit, wait, leave it, and listens so much better. We previously tried Petco, but she didn’t learn nearly as much. Alex’s communication was excellent. He made every session enjoyable. If you want a caring trainer who gets real results, Alex is the one!”

“highly recommend Helen as a dog trainer and caregiver. She is responsible, patient, and genuinely loves animals. Helen has a natural ability to connect with dogs, helping them feel safe, understood, and confident. She is dependable, attentive to each dog's individual needs, and always goes the extra mile to ensure their well-being. Any dog owner would be fortunate to have Helen caring for and training their pet.”

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.

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: 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.

“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!”

“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.”

“Cari was outstanding! I can’t believe how much ground we covered in just one session. She gave us so many tips on how to communicate better with our dog to make her be more obedient and also some tips on how to get her more mental stimulation. I highly recommend her for training. She was lovely!”

“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!”

About: I blend professional certification with hands-on facility experience and shelter knowledge to create truly customized training. My positive methods don’t just teach commands—they build confidence and deepen your bond with your dog.

“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!”

“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 is amazing! I have a very stubborn, hyper mini dachshund puppy and Holly not only taught commands but also showed how to calm her down. She works with both pet and owner and asssures everything is clear and easy to follow. Since working with Holly, I’ve seen a real transformation in Lu Lu’s behavior and she's much more calm, especially around the cats. You can tell Holly truly loves animals and has a special bond with them. She treats every pet with great care and Lu Lu absolutely adores her. I highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for a patient, dedicated, and effective trainer.”

“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!!!”

“April is excellent. She is kind and patient. She had one session with my Dexter and I can see a significant difference. The homework she provides is clear and concise.”

“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.”

“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.”
