Also, we recently had to cancel pet care that we had scheduled due to our dog having multiple seizures two days before we left. We then received a caring phone call in which they asked about the welfare of our dog and genuinely cared about his well being. This meant a lot to us as our dog is a treasured member of our family. We highly recommend Sitter for Your Critters!! They truly care.

I recently took my 6-month-old black lab, Ellie, to a socialization class at Anubis Alpha Dog…read moreTraining. Ellie is naturally a bit skittish and would much rather stay home and play without any rules, so I wasn't sure how much progress we would make in just one class. By the end of the session, however, Ellie had noticeably calmed down and was no longer trying to run away from everything around her. I learned valuable techniques on how to keep her focused on me and the appropriate timing for rewarding good behavior. I also gained helpful insight into training tools, including a different type of collar that works better for her. Both Ellie and I left the class feeling more confident and motivated to continue improving--especially when it comes to mastering loose-leash walking. I highly recommend reaching out to Anubis Alpha Dog Training if you're experiencing challenges with training your dog. We're excited to continue with both private and group classes!

My pit mix, Hazel came into my life after spending some time alone on the streets of Bakersfield…read moreand then getting placed on the euthanasia list at the local shelter. Whatever trauma she endured there started showing itself through fear-based aggression toward humans; after trying on my own to address the behavior, both Hazel and I were stressed, frustrated and scared. I realized I needed professional help and I wanted it to be provided by an educated, dedicated trainer who came from a place of empathy. Tiffany fit that description perfectly. From the moment of our first Zoom "audition," I could tell she was no nonsense: she could train Hazel, but it would also take work, honestly and dedication from me, as well. Prior to drop off, I was provided with specific directions, a handbook and easy to follow instructions on exactly how the training would go. The minute I dropped off Hazel with Tiffany, my heart felt hopeful for the first time in months. Hazel immediately recognized Tiffany as a kindred spirit who commanded respect but made sure her first job was to connect with my dog. From there, I was receiving daily, lengthy updates that included videos describing what/how she was training as well as lectures that provided guidance I could follow once she came home. The part that made me realize I had made the right decision was that, within a couple of days, Tiffany had identified Hazel's root issues that were leading to her aggression and adjusted her training accordingly. It was amazing to watch her with Hazel: her focus, her calm, quiet demeanor and Hazel's response to her: trust. Once Hazel came home, the real work started and Tiffany is available 24/7 the first 72 hours and then available during her normal work hours for the life of your dog. That's an incredible commitment for what you're paying to know that your dog is in the best hands possible. I can't speak highly enough of Tiffany (and her sweet husband). I've been an animal person my whole life and there is no one else I'd recommend to help you connect more and understand any issues or behaviors your dog might be experiencing. Thank you, Tiffany.

Tiffany and For the Love of Dog has been nothing short of transformative for both me as a dog owner…read moreand for my dog. I was fortunate enough to book a month long board and train with Tiffany for my dog, who was a pandemic pup who had some medical trauma that robbed us of important foundational training time when he was a puppy. He's a strong guy as an adult and I was having a lot of trouble instilling training into him since he was not a food motivated dog, especially when it came to walking on a leash. He'd pulled me off my feet a few times and I knew I needed a professional to really help me become the best and safest dog owner I could for him. Working with Tiffany and For the Love of Dog doesn't just instill amazing training in your dog, but educates you as the owner in ways I didn't even realize was possible. I feel so much more prepared and educated now, through Tiffany's training, her educational videos, her to-the-minute updates on my Dog's progress and how she teaches--both the dogs and the human owners. She breaks down everything in such easy to follow ways and her insight on behavior, both dog and human owner behavior is nothing short of brilliant. I also know I can reach out to her at any time for any hurdles we encounter and will receive her insight and knowledge, which is worth its weight in gold. She quickly identified not only my mixed dog's breed (the genetic test totally confirmed everything she said!) but the underlying anxiety that he felt. The month he spent with her has transformed him from an anxious worrier with deep feelings who would pull me off my feet on walks to a calm dog who knows he can do hard work and that I'll be beside him to help as we tackle any new situations. The difference in him is profound: he's calm, he's walking on a loose leash, he's happily obeying commands and he's more confident in his place in the world and in our little pack of three. And I feel so much more prepared and understand him on a deeper level through Tiffany's insight, education and help. If you've got a pup facing a hard problem or anxious behavior or any issue at all, invest the time and money into Tiffany's training. You will be so thankful--and so will your dog! I cannot recommend her enough. This experience has strengthened my bond with my dog, educated me as a long-time dog owner and introduced an order into our lives that has truly changed it for the better.

We both thought the other was taking care of who was going to look after them. I was referred to Mike and the rest was effortless. He stopped by to meet the dogs (who recently had puppies), find out any and all general and specific instructions for their care and we scheduled two times a day. Upon our return we had some very content dogs & a detailed report of each visit. Mike even made me promise to text him upon our return. Mike really cares! It is obvious. I highly recommend his service to anyone that needs to choose between this type of service and kenneling. They even turn on and off lights, bring in mail and news papers to give your home the appearance of being occupied. Awesome job and I am calling today to schedule for Christmas!
