Never told me both times and denied it the second time saying they checked the cameras. Another Emergency Vet bill for $800 dollars. And instead of taking out the attacking dog, they told me not to come back.

So much so that just over a month ago, we dropped off our four month old Doberman/Corso Millie; we're now thrilled to have her back and smoothly transition into our pack! It's not just the one-on-one that is great while socializing w their Belgian Malinois, him and his wife put together an AMAZING take home training guide that helps you carry on w the training and pack-life transition. We look forward to continue taking our pups to breweries, farmers markets, community festivals and all of the things we love to do as a family, all thanks to Rayo's K9 Academy and the foundation they built for us. Make the investment, it's one that is absolutely worth it!

Luna engaged in a lot of leash pulling and some reactivity when she would see other dogs. Luna is now able to walk calmly and does not overreact when another dog is around or near her. Nova is an anxious pup and her board and train helped her be exposed to public areas, while working on her obedience, learning to settle, gained more confidence in herself and does really well with leash walking. Raymond was thorough and explained things with care and patience on how to continue their training at home, answered any question and concerns we had and provided us with feedback when he had us practice the tools he used with our girls. Def would recommend and come back for extra support in the future if needed.

What a relief it is to be gone a week on vacation returning home to a very content 18 year old cat…read more( that we always think is dying) and a year and a half old dog that acted like I just returned from the market. How fortunate to find Kat and her team who are professional, provided great communication, pictures and videos, and I had a worry free time away. From the moment my pets met Kat, she commanded instant respect. Kat has that magic that animal respond to. My dog Bella watched her like a hawk and did everything she asked when she said it. Even things I didn't think she would understand! I realized in that moment my dog has been ignoring me! LOL Go ahead book your stay with Kat now, I already booked our next trip with her. I selfishly almost didn't want to share her if you know what I mean.

He first went for 7 nights when he was 4.5 months old and again for a 3 night refresher to reinforce existing skills and learn an important new command once he was more mentally mature at 7 months old. Kat took the time to really understand his lifestyle and shape his training goals with me ahead of both stays and both times we got back a happy, healthy and focused pup who loves to show off his tricks and manners! He was understandably a little nervous the first time we dropped him off but the second time he was thrilled to be back, which just shows how much fun he had there with her!! You can tell that Kat cares deeply about the dogs she works with and I'm so glad we found her out here in the desert. I highly recommend the customizable board and train service to provide structure, fundamentals and/or personalized learning (then you just need to stay consistent at home continuing to reinforce the new skills). Thank you Kat for all you've taught Ozzie - we will definitely be back!

I just want to say that I found the best dog trainer in the desert. Brooke is amazing! My…read moreGoldendoodle was dropped off for puppy training, and she was happy and excited when I dropped her off. One thing I really appreciated was being able to watch what my puppy learned after class was over. Seeing her progress made the experience even better. Brooke also shared great advice and tips to help me care for and continue working with my puppy at home. In such a short amount of time, my puppy learned so many new commands like sit, down, and come. I can't wait to see everything else she learns in class. I would definitely recommend Brooke to anyone looking for puppy training. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and you can tell she truly has a passion for what she does. Her love for working with dogs really shows in her work.

Brooke is great with people too - we feel a real partnership with her as we make this journey. It's exciting to see the improvement in Oliver already. She has given us confidence that he can get past his issues -- and that we, our other dog Georgie and Oliver can live (and walk) happily ever after. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brooke. Any dog would be lucky to have her. Ours is!

At home Poppy barks at new people coming into the house and then shortly after they enter, she stops. Skipper Pip on the other hand is a grand AHOLE that will continually bark till our guest sits down or stops moving and it starts back up when they start moving again. ‍ I can say that nothing I did worked to stop or curb this little booger from barking. I watched countless videos and NOTHING WAS WORKING! I created a tiny monster. I finally had had enough and sought out a professional. I found Janine here on the internet. I didn't really know what to expect or how hard this was going to be. I didn't care, I needed help and was willing to do whatever an expert would tell me to do. Getting to know Janine and working with her has been super easy. I listed in detail all of the behavior issues that I have with Skipper but mostly it's the constant barking. Lord have mercy on my ears. The first visit is an assessment, explanation of how your dog thinks and how they understand you, and for us; some basics to start getting *operation no more barking* underway. Janine is very thorough so you understand both human and dog points of view. I really like this comprehensive approach. She trains you to train your dog so that your pet can thrive. Janine is not a cookie cutter style dog trainer. She is adaptive in finding what works best for you and your pooch. This is just the hands on learning Skipper and I needed. Thank you Janine, you are a treasure. Skipper's Results after working with Janine: *No longer barks when in public (on leash or in a stroller.) *No longer barks at the gardeners or pool guy. *Walks on a leash with ease w/zero pulling. *Knows the difference between Working Walk and Leisurely Walk. *Does not freak out at other dogs. Is perfectly calm and confident that I will not let anything happen to her. *No longer licks paws unless right before bed. *Significantly less anxiety overall.
