Dawgz & Stripes training has been the best investment I've made in my hound herd ever. I'm a very experienced Boxer owner, but needed some extra help with my young and motley crew. Manny was so helpful in arranging a trainer that was local to me. Leo and his family were amazing! I felt so much more at ease knowing my pups were actually in a home and not isolated in a commercial kennel setting. My dogs came home with the same exhuberance, but so much more calm on a leash and in public settings. Recently took my girl to our local airport for a training test run. Because of the Dawgz & Stripe training and my home follow-up, Jelly Bean did an amazing job with all sorts of new situations including sliding doors, people and car traffic, even riding a bus! Leo will be picking up my newest pup, 6 mos., in a few days and I know he will do an amazing job with her too.
I interviewed nearly 10 dog training companies/individuals before deciding on Dawgz & Stripes. They are a little more expensive than some competitors but worth every penny. Their compassion and attention to their customers is above and beyond. I highly recommend Dawgz & Stripes!
One extra note: My big boy, Peanut Butter, died of sudden cardiac arrest while at training. Frank, Manny, and Leo were so attentive and compasionate during this sudden episode. They paid for all of Peanut's medical bills, necropsy, and creamation costs. There is nothing any of us could have done or known about his heart failure. The compassion and care they provided me throughout this event was exemplary. They continued to train my other two Boxers after this event and they both came home as incredibly well behaved dogs.
I cannot thank Frank, Manny, and Leo enough for taking care of me and my grief and loss after losing Peanut Butter. They were kind, compassionate, respectful, and generous in helping me to deal with the loss.
In the aftermath, my other two Boxers came home so well trained and I have continued to work with them on all the manners they learned with Dawgz & Stripes. My new 7 month old Boxer puppy will be joining Leo in two weeks for her training at the end of March.
I have so much confidence in Dawgz & Stripes. I will never hesitate to entrust any of my dogs to their care and training. Leo and his family are the best! read more
