Jingle Bell was an evil little goober who likes to attack my two other dogs, and she needed some…read moreserious intervention after being rescued. We tried to train her ourselves for a couple of months but we eventually gave up and enrolled her at Happy Hounds. Pat, the trainer/owner, charges reasonable fees and has 35 years of experience in positive reinforcement training. I learned very quickly that we were doing everything wrong and it kept making Jingle even more anxious. After four sessions, Jingle is a lot more focused, eager to please, and I haven't called her evil in a month! Pat doesn't have the crazy social media presence that other dog trainers have (Happy Hounds has a Facebook page and a no-frills website) but I love it because I feel like her main focus is just to help us train our dogs. She loves what she does and it shows. Side note: I love how much she loves rescue dogs too! (Although to be clear, she loves dogs of all kinds!)

We used Pat at Happy Hounds for training for our Pit Bull back in 2010. We did the "Board and…read moreTrain" program which at that time included a 6 week 1x a week group class. After completing that we enrolled our dog in the next level of training. Pat uses positive reinforcement clicker training. It's a lot of work as an owner, but so worth the investment (time and $). We have such a well behaved pup!

We took our almost 6 month old Whoodle Petey to be trained at CK9. The entire place was spotless…read moreand Heidi welcomed him and explained the training process to us. During the first week there Heidi drew a bead on his intelligence and stubborn nature and let us know that he would need a firm but affectionate hand. She did not let him get away with his reluctance to submit even though he was pouty about it. When we picked him up, we were amazed! He followed our commands during our training session and retained much of what he learned. We had to go out of town for a funeral and then a few days later he was neutered, so he had a disruptive week but has gone back to obeying most of his commands. He even stops at doorways though I forget he is supposed to do it. Petey does have a larcenous side and is a stealthy counter surfer. He needs to be watched carefully and we are trying to tame the bandit in him. Otherwise he is delightful and fun to be around We had a house full of company last weekend and Petey did great with everyone, including two boys aged 10 and 12. Everybody fell in love with our sweet, smart, well behaved boy! We are so grateful to Heidi and EJ for giving us our darling, smart and obedient Petey. We give CK9 the highest praise and would recommend them to anyone who wants a well-mannered, well-trained canine companion. Yay!

I can't say enough good things about Complete K-9 Training and especially Heidi! We have three…read moreBoston Terriers -- Rosie, Charlie and Lola -- and anyone who has Bostons knows they come with BIG personalities! Each of our three is completely different, and Heidi took the time to understand each of them individually. Rosie needed help with her anxiety, while Charlie and Lola had their own personalities and behaviors to work through. Heidi knew exactly how to approach each one and, just as importantly, taught us how to be better, more confident owners. The difference in our three dogs has been incredible. We have more control, better communication, and a much better understanding of what they need from us. Having three dogs with different personalities isn't always easy, and Heidi gave us practical tools that actually work in everyday life. What I love most is how much Heidi genuinely cares. She doesn't just train your dogs and send them home -- she wants the entire family to succeed. We are SO thankful for Heidi and Complete K-9 Training. If you're looking for a trainer, especially if you have multiple dogs or challenging behaviors, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. Heidi is the BEST! Rosie, Charlie & Lola give her 15 stars -- 5 each!

I have been training with Sit Means Sit since January 2016. I brought my 3 dogs in for an initial…read moredemo in November of 2015 but started training in January 2016. I had been told of Sit Means Sit from a co-worker years before contacting them. What brought me to them was that I was adding a puppy to my pack and wanted my 8 yr old and 2 yr old bulldogs to properly accept the American bully puppy and work on some of their bad habits to have more rounded family dogs. I started my 2 yr old Bulldog with their 15-day boarding package with Robin. Robin was wonderful with his training and communication of his progress in messages, calls, pictures, and videos. He was a completely different dog when he came back. My puppy started with their 6-week puppy class with trainer Kabri. This class was wonderful as a good foundation to start her off on a good obedient foot. I was suppose to do private lesson with my older Bulldog but her health declined too rapidly that between discussions of my concerns for her health with Robin, we decided to transfer those lesson to the puppy. That was one of the best choices I have made! We have continued our training and was able to get our puppy to become a certified Therapy dog a month after she turned 1! The strides my dogs have made and heads they turn with their obedience is beyond my belief! Since my initial training I have added a 2 yr old American Bully who after a few short months of training was also able to success become a therapy dog. I will be getting a Rottweiler puppy in the near future who will become another Sit Means Sit alumni. Sit Means Sit has been a life changer for not just my dogs but myself as well! Their training has given me the confidence and ability to push myself more to challenge my dogs with other activities such as conformation and agility and obedience competitions.

We've had a great experience working with Mr. Sam! Our dog has always been full of energy and…read morereactive--especially when someone comes to the door. He would bark, lunge, or jump if people knocked or even walked by, and I had kept him in one-on-one play at daycare because I wasn't fully confident in his interactions with other dogs. But after just the first session with Mr. Sam, we saw a noticeable difference. He not only helped our dog become calmer and more manageable at the door, but also gave us the tools and knowledge we needed to work through the behavior. By the second session, Mr. Sam had our dog calmly off-leash and playing with other dogs--including a puppy!--in a way I never imagined possible. He really understands dog behavior and is incredibly skilled at guiding both dogs and their humans through the process. Much of the progress is also specifically about me learning to manage my own nervousness due to his previous behavior and history - and trust the process, and Mr. Sam is great at walking you through that. If you're willing to follow his guidance and put in the effort, you'll absolutely notice a big improvement. I now feel more hopeful and empowered, and I'm already seeing a change in our dog's behavior both at the door and even in the car (another place he tends to go crazy). Looking forward to the continued progress--we're so thankful for his help!

My boyfriend and I recently adopted a toy poodle from a rescue less than a month ago and we were…read morehaving trouble with him adapting to his new environment. He didn't have the best relationship with my boyfriend at first, he was scared of him and wouldn't let him hold him, but after we had Sam come in for a consultation, it seemed like that all changed. We are going to continue to work with our dog with the tools that Sam gave us but even after one consultation, we saw immediate results. This was an eye opening experience for the correct way to train a dog. If you are even considering to get a dog trainer, go to Sam!

Our 8-month-old puppy, Josie, just completed a 30-day board-and-train with Sierra at Canine Karma,…read moreand I truly could not be more pleased with the entire experience! From our very first consultation, I knew Sierra was going to be the trainer we hired. Before the consultation was even finished, she had already impressed us with how prepared and thorough she was. She came prepared with a detailed intake form to learn about Josie's history, diet, exercise, play, current behaviors, and, most importantly, our goals for her training. Sierra took the time to explain her mission, training philosophy, plan, and expectations--not only for Josie but also for us as owners. She understood that we were in urgent need of help with our wild puppy and was incredibly accommodating, fitting Josie into her schedule within a week. The drop-off was another detailed meeting where we reviewed general lesson plans and goals for Josie. Sierra was so calm, patient, and reassuring that she made leaving Josie much easier than we expected, for Josie and ourselves. Throughout the entire 30-day board-and-train, we received regular updates, pictures, and videos. Sierra was always willing to answer our questions and kept us involved in Josie's progress every step of the way. At pickup, Sierra provided us with an incredibly thorough training packet. It included commands, board-and-train maintenance instructions, schedules, structure, and examples of activities to continue at home. We also received professional training videos, along with videos specifically showing Josie's training. We had a hands-on dog-walking and basic-commands lesson, two follow-up visits included, and--one of my favorite parts--lifetime support as long as we continue following the training program. Josie has now been home for 10 days, and she is doing incredibly well--so much better than when she left! We continue to communicate regularly with Sierra, sending pictures and videos of Josie practicing her training. Sierra takes the time to review everything and responds promptly with encouragement, praise, and helpful suggestions or tips whenever we need them. What really sets Sierra apart is that she is knowledgeable not only about dog training but also about the overall health and well-being of dogs. She was able to point us in the right direction regarding food and supplements for Josie, which has been incredibly helpful. Most importantly, Sierra is the first person I have ever felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with. We have had previous dogs stay with family, friends, veterinarians, and boarding facilities. Everyone always did a good job, but I was still nervous every time we left them. With Sierra, I genuinely felt at ease. She has such a calm, steady, caring demeanor, and it was obvious from the beginning that she truly cares about the dogs in her care. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, professional, caring, responsive, and genuinely invested in both your dog and your success as an owner, I cannot recommend Sierra and Canine Karma highly enough! Thank you, Sierra, for everything you have done for Josie and for giving us the tools and confidence to continue her training at home!

She doesn't just use one method to teach, she will figure out what is best for your dog and go from there! Please use Sierra for all of the services she offers.. it will be worth the money I promise! Our experience: We adopted Sunny from the West Valley Humane Society back in January. For months we tried various different training programs. We tried online training and in person private classes and nothing really seemed to work for him. He had a ton of anxiety, was not confident, was reactive and aggressive towards all dogs but specifically small ones, did not know boundaries, etc. We really had our hands full with our Sunny boy but he needed someone that was going to be patient with him and boy was Sierra just that! We purchased Sierra's board and train class (2 weeks) and Sierra kept our boy an ADDITIONAL 2 weeks because he was having a hard time focusing and getting comfortable. Not only that, her training was a third of the price that we were going to pay for a board and train at another local place. She really did what was the best for him. Like I said before, Sunny was a lot of work and Sierra went above and beyond in every way to help our boy. She first came over for a consult to see what we were wanting to get out of her services and how we were already doing things and offered assistance with that. At the time that Sunny was with Sierra he learned: -how to walk on a leash (before he would pull your arm off) -recall -"place" -crate training -riding in the car -listening to commands -gained confidence -how to interact with dogs -& so much more! Sierra was able to help with everything we mentioned to her in the initial meeting and more! Not only that but Sunny really loves her and her family. We feel completely comfortable leaving our boy with Sierra because we know he is in good hands. Sierra really gave us our life back and we live such an enjoyable life now WITH Sunny. We feel comfortable leaving him at home when needed and taking him to parks. We are so happy we found her!!!! Please use her!!!
