I'm running out of places to sing praises for Ruff Tales…read more The team over there has been so great to me and my dog. They've been there for training for my dogs as well as foster dogs, they've been there for grooming, they've been there to help deter bad behaviors, they helped me administer medicine to a sick dog, they're there for reliable doggy daycare, one day they even went to my house to help me out of a bind. The team over there is lead by Oscar and I'm so grateful to them for everything they do for me and my pets.

I decided to leave my puppy with Ruff Tales for a 3-week training program...and the results were incredible...my wild little puppy came back a little man...he still has work to do...but Oscar gave him an amazing foundation that I can continue building on at home. I'm beyond pleased with the progress and the professionalism shown throughout the entire process...I already plan to bring my pup back for a follow-up in about four months. If you have a rowdy...high-energy puppy and don't know where to turn...do yourself a favor and bring them to Ruff Tales...highly recommended.

Oh and they send you newsletters that you can find for free online to tell you to continue to growl and grunt at your dog and show them you are the pack leader. 1,700 dollars for that.

Great initial training, helped us learn how to successfully walk such a big powerful breed, we were off to a great start... Fast forward to this winter, we've moved to a new house and neighborhood, much bigger yard, and Diesel nearly refuses to go out side. It's the week after Christmas, we left Bob a message and we're thinking, I doubt we'll hear back from Bark Busters till the new year. We were HAPPILY surprised to hear back from Bob and within a few short hours, Diesel is HAPPILY going out with us to the back yard. Bob is truly dedicated to making sure you and your dog know how to communicate. That you have all the tools and training you need to have a happy and healthy relationship with your pup. (Even if your 'pup' is an 85lb dobie-dog.)

We chose to train our new dog Daisy that we adopted from the SPCA with the 8 basic & advanced…read morelessons and it was worth every penny! Our trainer, Monica, was excellent with Daisy and what I loved most about her was that she would explain to us how she was training our dog and also why she would do something a certain way. A lot of times she would comment about how this reinforces some sort of behavior or would boost Daisy's confidence, etc. At one point of our training Daisy didn't take well to the previous lesson (down lesson) and Daisy wasn't receptive to the next training session and was extremely nervous and jittery. Monica picked up on this right away and instead of just charging through, took a step back to assess the situation and told us that this lesson would be free since Daisy wasn't herself and even considered bringing another trainer in. We were extremely appreciative of this gesture and found it to be very considerate and professional. We were a little nervous starting out the training because Daisy is an extremely sensitive and submissive dog, but at the end of the training (which was today) her confidence levels are much higher and she seems to be a much happier dog!!! Daisy is far from perfect but her discipline and manners are getting better every day and we love seeing her progress and growth. We highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training. We did a ton of research and even met with other companies but we could not have been happier with our choice.

If you're looking for a trainer, I can't say enough good things about Heather at Sea Dog!…read more She's done incredible work with Valor, a dog we rescued from a fighting ring. The work she has poured into him has literally brought me to tears, because he's come so far since he came through her doors. Heather doesn't just train dogs, she changes lives. Her heart is fully here for the dogs. She genuinely wants both dogs and their owners to live better, more enriched lives. Her approach is all about creating calm, confident, regulated dogs while also making things easier and more manageable for the humans. And something exclusive to this place, is they have a veterinarian on site, Dr. B! This is a selling point for me, knowing that medical needs could be addressed in the moment if necessary. If you're on the fence or just starting to look around for a trainer, call Heather. Seriously. She'll put you at ease immediately, and you'll know you made the right choice within minutes of talking to her. Heather - thank you for everything you've done for Valor and everything you continue to do. We appreciate you so much at Santo's Sanctuary & Rescue. Heather, Dr. B and her team truly care about the dogs, the people, and the community they serve.

My dogs are accustomed to being around, just our family and don't always be friend new people readily. They immediately took to the owner, Brian. Our dogs are on a diet where they have a mixture of dry and wet food that require refrigeration or freezing. That was no problem at all for the owner to accommodate. The fellas looked well cared for when my son picked them up! My son forgot to check for the dogs blankets when he picked them up and Brian kindly drove them down to the city where we live so that the dogs would have them. I will definitely use Hicks Farm again and I highly recommend them!

Zelda, our German shepherd/husky mix, boarded with Brian for nearly two weeks while we were on…read morevacation. Before she went, I'd worked with her on sit, down, take it, leave it, and some spins with decent success. Brian took what she had and built on it, adding heel, come when called, turn, and stay. He returned a noticeably different dog. When we hit some bumps shortly after, he came back out and spent a solid hour with me going over what was actually happening...not just commands and corrections, but why she was behaving the way she was and what she needed from me to feel secure. (Spoiler: she needed me to be more confident and consistent.) He has a way of cutting straight to what matters without overcomplicating it, and more than once he said exactly the right thing at exactly the right moment. What struck me most across both experiences was how much genuine wisdom he brings to his work. He's clearly someone who has learned his craft through deep experience and observation, and it shows in every interaction with the dog and with the owner. On top of all of that, his pricing was incredibly reasonable; boarding and training combined for what many trainers charge for training alone. We felt genuinely taken care of. Kind, patient, perceptive, and exactly what we needed. Highly recommend.

She's helpful, always available, and always supportive. For anyone getting into canine sports, Dogwood is the way to go. Some days, I go to obedience just for the motivational pick me up. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Mouse: My Mommy has taken me to many trainers in our day as she tried to learn the ropes of Conformation, Drafting, Water Rescue, Herding, Packing, and Weight pull. Aside from Dick (we sure do miss him), Judy is our other favorite trainers. Before we came to Judy, my mommy hasn't taken me to a competitive obedience class before. We had some trainers before that didn't understand the meaning of stubborn. I'm stubborn. Everyone knows I'm stubborn, and I weigh 125 lbs. You can't get a stubborn big dog like me to do things I don't want to. You also can't yell at me and tell me I'm not doing a good job. My Mommy also doesn't like it when people yell or me or yank me around. I'm just a dog. I don't speak English (except in this review). You can't reason with me. You have to show me what exercises to perform and express to me that I'm a good boy. I love Judy because she's always happy and always gives me good feedback. Not only does Judy have the practical experience and the theoretical background to train successfully, she understands classical and operant conditioning perfectly, and she knows how to think outside of the training box too. She's so good at reading canine body language, it is like she's reading my mind. I know my Mommy loves her too. Everyone loves Judy. Basil: I'm a diva, and you will recognize me when I enter the room. Behold my long silky locks and my shaved ass. No, I'm not a poodle. I'm a Lowchen, pronounced Luv-hen. We're so much classier than those poodles, and we're German. Germans dogs are tough. I only go to Dogwood to show all the other dogs that I'm faster, smarter, and more creative than all the other dogs there. I'm so smart that I earned my versatility title at 2 years old, and I can outrun those border collies. As a high class dog, I only accept training from the best of the best. Judy makes the cut. I'll let her teach my Mommy how to handle me to competitive obedience stardom.
