He was calm ,and safely helped educate me to help my dog. I've only been twice this far. I definitely recommend him for any type of dog as he is a natural. His approach is so easy to understand. I can't wait to go back to learn more. I'm looking forward to the beach day meetups with dogs Kurt already personally knows. Thanks a million bucks..... I feel so much hope that I can care for my big boy.

Kurt is an outstanding dog trainer. I enrolled my dog in his three-week Board and Train program,…read moreand she returned home incredibly well behaved. Throughout the program, Kurt sent daily videos demonstrating his training methods so I could confidently continue the work at home. I highly recommend Kurt to anyone looking to train a puppy or adult dog--he truly has a gift with animals!

She is always so creative in taking him to really great activities - from the beach to douglas preserve, mission rose garden and beyond. He is always so happy to see her and loves his time with her. She goes out of her way to help me out when I have a tight schedule, picking Blue up and dropping him off. I would highly recommend her!

He could be a handful sometimes (150 pounds, a little hyper, pulling on the leash, etc.), but Richie knew exactly how to handle him, and he stopped doing that, becoming part of the dog walking pack. Ferd has crossed the "rainbow bridge," sadly, but Sierra and Richie still walk our "Granddog," Pablo the pug. I can't say enough about how lovely, sweet, reliable and capable they are :) Sandy

Jerammy is a great groomer and treats my dogs with special care!…read more Great location in Goleta !

Unfortunately, we will not be returning to this groomer…read more The business hours/sign clearly state "7:00 AM-12:00 PM for drop-off", and when we called to make our appointment, Jeremy specifically confirmed that we could drop our dog off on the agreed-upon date within those hours. Like anyone else, we planned our day around that appointment and the expectation that the business would be available during the hours provided. Unfortunately, this has now happened three times. We have arrived during the agreed-upon drop-off window and no one has been there. On two of those occasions, there were also other customers waiting. One time, Jeremy did eventually text us, but it was after we had already arrived. We completely understand that things come up and that life happens, but a simple text or call letting us know that he would be running late or that something unexpected came up would have made a huge difference. What is most frustrating is that our time is valuable too. We made arrangements around these appointments, only to have to turn around, take our dog back home, and rearrange our plans. After multiple occurrences, it no longer feels like an isolated situation but a pattern. We genuinely try to support small, local businesses, but unfortunately we will not be supporting this one any longer. If you are someone who has other plans scheduled around your dog's grooming appointment, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. You cannot reliably plan your day around the drop-off hours or appointment time being honored.

They took care of my 4-month-old puppy while I was in town for work - came to my hotel 2x a day at my choosing to feed him, walk with him, play with him for an hour at a time.

They were extremely punctual and responsive and sent a full detailed report and photos at each visit.

I rescued my dog Bailey a little over three months ago, and like many rescue dogs, she had her fair…read moreshare of challenges. She showed signs of separation anxiety, crate aversion, general nervousness, and didn't seem super comfortable around other dogs. Right away, after reading positive after positive review, I enrolled her in this training program, and it's been an absolute game changer! After a short overnight board and train, she came back crate trained -- like magic. She settled into her crate that first night back at home (relatively no drama!), and now she can sleep pretty peacefully in it whether we're home or traveling. She's also now comfortable staying alone when I'm at work vs the constant supervision that was needed initially. Any time I run into a roadblock with her training at home, the team is always there to offer off the clock recommendations and methods to try. She now does off-leash pack walks with the group and coexists with all the other good dogs there. It's honestly more progress than I could've hoped for this early on. She still goes to daycare and occasional training where I get to join and learn alongside her. We continue to work on new things and ways for her to be a better and better dog and I can see it resulting in her being happier and happier as well! Eric and the whole team (Katia, Alondra, Jeff...you guys are awesome!!) are simply fantastic. I'm so grateful I found this program -- it's made such a difference in both of our lives! Highly recommend.

With Eric's guidance, we've watched our cattle dog gain confidence and transition into a much better state of mind. She is able to focus better, listen to commands, and make better decisions even with distractions around her. She has become a much more happier, playful dog and will even play with our friends and family, which is a huge change from the scared dog she was before. The progress has been incredible and everyone around us has noticed the difference. Eric continues to work closely with us, tailoring his training to fit both our dog's unique needs and our daily lives. As our dog grows, the training evolves too, helping us navigate new challenges and build on our progress. The Follow The Leader K9 team is outstanding. We can't recommend them enough. Reaching out to them was one of the best decisions we've ever made.
