Jordan Dove is my favorite professional dog trainer. Jordan treats every human and dog with…read morecompassion, curiosity and hope. I have enrolled my 2.5 yr old dog, Woody, in excellent group and private training lessons through several dog training organizations over the past two years. I have received my best dog training advice and outcomes with Jordan Dove. I have experienced Jordan's guidance through group classes and private lessons. Since meeting Jordan and experiencing success in group lessons I sought out private dog training sessions with her. I have finally experienced long awaited breakthroughs with Woody. He is calmer, happier and easier to walk with and engage with other people now. Throughout his life Woody has shown heightened excitement and reactivity toward dogs, rabbits and squirrels. It has been difficult to manage his behavior on walks and in public settings. Woody also exhibited demand barking whenever I stopped to talk with people on walks. Jordan seems to understand Woody and me keenly and has given valuable insight and guidance how to help Woody, (and me!), feel more comfortable and safer amid various distractions. I highly recommend that people choose Jordan for dog training classes, private lessons and advice. You and your dog will thrive under her leadership. Woody loves, trusts and listens to Jordan. When she works with him his tail is always wagging. Happy dog, Happy handler.

This review is strictly regarding the business owner's communication and lack of transparency with…read moreprospective clients, not her actual dog training. I reached out to Nikki about training for my new puppy. She responded with a standard pitch detailing her credentials and a premium rate of $200/hour, claiming she trains dogs "in a different way" than others. Naturally, before investing that kind of money and inviting someone into my home, I politely asked if she had any short video clips of her training style so I could understand her methodology. Her response was incredibly curt and defensive: "No i dont have social media you are requesting. My training is very personal and not media income for me." I didn't care about social media; I cared about understanding her teaching style. Because finding a trainer is about compatibility and trust, I actually went out of my way to apologize for any misunderstanding and asked if she could point me to any online video of any trainer with a similar style, just so I could get a rough idea of what to expect. Instead of a professional response (like suggesting client references or pointing to her Yelp reviews), she completely shut down the conversation: "I have provided the information I provide to all my clients. It seems we will not be a good fit." Nikki expects clients to blindly commit to a $200/hour rate with zero visual proof or demonstration of her "unique" methodology. When asked basic, polite questions to ensure a good fit, she met me with defensiveness, a complete lack of flexibility, and a curt dismissal. If a trainer is this defensive and difficult to communicate with before you even hire them, imagine how stressful it would be to work with them. There are plenty of highly qualified trainers who welcome questions and treat prospective clients with respect--IMO go to them instead. I've attached our communication as proof.

We also attended Puppy Playgroup, and were sad to "age" out at 18 weeks, BUT we loved our time there too! Ember loved getting a little bit of her extra energy out and meeting new friends! We will definitely recommend UCLA to all of our friends and family!

We have been paying for that dearly! Katie has trained us, how to train our dog. Her method is simple and effective. The classes are always fun and well organized. Zorro can walk calmly on a leash, ignore other dogs, and accept treats from strangers, all huge accomplishments. The only downside is the commute to Woodinville from our home in seattle. Not fun at 5 pm. Though after 2 other failed attempts at training, we'll worth the hassle. Thank you Katie! We will be back for more!

We told her our dog gets overly excited when he sees other dogs and will bark etc, so asked if we could do a 1:1 session in our neighborhood. She suggested Green Lake and I said he would lose his mind with so many dogs. She said it would be fine and to our surprise she really helped redirect his behavior and it was a lot better than we thought. She gave us lots of info and after we decided to enroll in her basic obedience class in Seattle. The class was night and day compared to the first we took. Our dog was with the other two dogs and learned to socialize so well (in the first class we had to be separated so he wouldn't bark which stressed him out even more). The class was full of good ways to teach basic commands and you can tell how much she loves dogs by how sweet and loving she is with them. I highly recommend her class for anyone who wants to help their dog learn basic obedience.

We started noticing increased anxiety, aggression, and reactivity, especially on walks around our apartment and around strangers. Luckily, we found Matt online, and he has been a total game-changer. What truly impressed us was Matt's depth of knowledge, you could tell he really understood the unique personality and needs of the dogs he worked with, and this translated into tailored training recommendations. Matt has helped build Ollie's confidence so much! Ollie is now much calmer and significantly less reactive to strangers and other triggers. Ollie has also learned to look to us more in anxiety-inducing situations, which is invaluable. He is able to dismiss stuff that previously would have set him off! Matt helped improve his leash walking so much, and Ollie is now able to heel like a rockstar--so much less pulling and way more focus! His reactivity around the neighborhood to triggers has decreased significantly. Plus, Ollie has learned some cool new tricks, like how to stop on command. Matt provided many extra tools for our toolbox when navigating tricky situations. We truly can't recommend him enough!
