I inherited a…read moresmall dog from my parents who is very head shy and will try to bite anyone who goes near his head. Vivi was so patient and sat with him while he literally tried to bite her and eventually got his harness on him and he ended up loving her! Which is no easy task. Vivi was so flexible when we had schedule changes or needed last minute dog sitting. She was always there to help us out. And she sends tons of pictures and videos so we knew what our babies were up to during the day. I moved out of state and have not found anyone who is even close to being as caring and reliable as Vivi. We miss her!

5 stars! We've already completed our puppy Violet in a 2 week tailblazer off leash board & train…read moreand one still in progress with personal sessions and already very happy with progress. I searched for months not sure when or who to pull the trigger with for starting training, pored through reviews, some referrals on local groups that seemed a little too good to be true to trust, etc. One of my 'final' ones was going to be Epic but I was worried we'd just be a number there when we had a pretty complex situation. So I found Kona Loca, saw that Christienne was her own small business, had good reviews here but also under her name at her time at the previous place, and decided to go for it. I don't regret it at all!! Christienne is great! She's very friendly, explains behavior concepts very well, does not provide judgment, and she absolutely knows what she's doing. I wanted to stick with her for my very anxious/incredibly insecure rescue dog because she has her own dog with similar characteristics. I initially wanted board and train for both my dogs, but she assessed the insecure one and suggested personal 1:1 training at home and community that might be more effective. If she was all about just the $ she could've just agreed with my push to board and train and I really appreciated that. Our 1 year old pit/staffy puppy Violet (love her) was kind of a nightmare. Constantly aggravating our adult dogs, barking and patrolling, no manners in any sense, just some basic commands *sometimes*. She did the 2 week off leash tailblazer with Bert and we can't even believe she's the same dog. This may be obvious but we NEVER would've considered taking her somewhere like the park or beach even on leash before because she was a headache, and now we can walk her off leash and trust her! She has a working mentality now and it exhausts her every single day so she is generally calm and chill after we work with her (just small training sessions doing her commands in the yard). Bert was excellent and provided text, photo, and video updates everyday, he is very friendly as well and gave us a very in depth training session once she came back home. He also followed up to ensure things were going smoothly and to see if we had any questions. Highly recommend and have personal experience with both Bert and Christienne and will continue recommending!

I am definitely a cat person. Actually a cat lady in training! I have been wanting another kitty…read morefor awhile. Breed didn't really matter.I've seen ads for too cute kitten rescue and knew they were having an adoption event in the area. We visited the event and were met with a dozen kitties. Each one cuter than the next. Didn't take long to be introduced to our forever friend. Meet Willow. Sara is very kind and very enthusiastic about her mission. All of her adopted kittens have already been sprayed/neutered and given shots. The adoption fee of $100. I felt was very fair considering the kitties are already fixed. The kitties seem well socialized and are very clean. No sign of fleas or any other parasites. If you are considering getting a kitty, please give Too Cute Kitten rescue a call. You wont be disappointed. We will get a lifetime of joy from this lovable fur ball.

They take very good care of their cats & dogs there and need donations so get in there & adopt! The only reason I did not adopt is because I could not make up my mind between Cosmo vs Quetzal kitties, both totally loveable but I since I could only adopt one kitty... heartbreaking but I had to pass.. I did adopt a kitty from another shelter but highly recommend this shelter in Brawley.

He is SUPER knowledgeable about dog behavior and helped me successfully navigate the hurdles of crate training. He has been extremely accommodating with my schedule and location, which made everything so much easier working full time. What stands out most is that he is always willing to help with advice even when we don't have a session planned. He is genuinely enjoyable to be around and makes the hard work of training actually fun. If you want a trainer who is as invested in your dog's success as you are, Stefan is the one to call!!

I have attached screenshots of my July 2017 Facebook conversation with Linda from the business account. On the day we picked him up, I messaged her to let her know when we would arrive to pick up Snapdragon, and the account responded with Diamond Oaks Ranch's contact information. A few days later, she contacted me asking, "how is the pup," requested pictures of him, and described him as "a very sweet pup." I am disappointed that rather than acknowledging our experience, the response has been to deny that we purchased our dog from them at all. I am posting the contemporaneous messages so prospective buyers can see the documentation and draw their own conclusions.

ATTACHED: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS VETERINARY MEDICAL HOSPITAL - DIAGNOSTICS…read more DO NOT BUY A GERMAN SHEPHERD FROM Linda!! My six-year-old, Bryson, is the most handsome shepherd you'll ever meet. Unfortunately he struggles with numerous acutely painful serious hereditary defects diagnosed by UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. Estimate for three immediately required corrective surgeries, spine fusion, left stifle joint TPOL implant, and right hip replacement $41,000-$50,800. UC Davis perhaps the foremost veterinary school in the country found Bryson has degenerative changes of the hip, right worse than left, increased fluid in the left stifle joint, along with osteoarthritis. On CT scan there was also: Lumbosacral intervertebral disc disease with subluxation. Canine lumbosacral intervertebral disc disease involves degeneration and potential displacement of the intervertebral discs at the lumbosacral junction. This condition can lead to nerve compression, resulting in pain and mobility issues for the affected dog. Also Dorsal disc protrusion and narrowing of the intervertebral foramina and vertebral canal. Canine dorsal disc protrusion refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc bulges outwards, typically affecting the spinal cord and causing pain or neurological issues in dogs. This condition can lead to symptoms such as weakness, incoordination, or paralysis, depending on the severity. For the love Bryson has given me, I will provide what ever care UC Davis recommends to give my best friend the longest best life possible! Linda's insane response is just loony deranged slander. "He (Doug Bothwell) never offered one single bit of proof of any health issues with his dog," THEN READ UC DAVIS'S ASSESSMENT OF BRYSON'S HEALTH ISSUES. Breeding dogs with Bryson's type of critically painful defects in her puppy mill, is animal cruelty!
