She…read moreneeds a lot of work with basic training like sit stay etc she was very door reactive ( she actually ran out of her house once with the door cracked). With Belinda's help We taught our Siberian husky to sit,stay, climb, ext and she would sit even when I had the door open. Unfortunately for our lifestyle we were not able to keep our Siberian husky because she is too active and we are very busy with work and outside responsibilities and couldn't give our Siberian husky the type of a lifestyle that she needed... so with the heavy heart we had given her back to the rescue shelter Fortunately for our Siberian husky we had fostered her back to health taught her quite a bit of obedience through the help of Belinda. Knowing that our heart was broken that we had to take our Siberian husky back Belinda called us and was very comforting. She went above and beyond to let us know we were making the right decision and gave excellent support Belinda is a fantastic trainer!

My oldest boy was a rescue who came to us extraordinarily scared and timid. It took me a good 6 mos to get him to trust me, and now he's my little shadow. He remains timid and very shy, and I fear a shock collar would make him revert back to where he was when we got him. My younger dog is also a rescue but he's just a little guy and when I felt the "shock" of the collar even at a very low number I knew I couldn't put one on him. Enter Belinda! Positive and explains dog psyche. Gives advice on adding a new command onto a learned one. She spent some time getting to know my boys and they loved her. I just wish she were in Arizona year round, as I lost several months training time with her due to a knee surgery.

While they helped me with many things they fell flat when it came to getting my 10 month old German shepherd mix past the puppy stage. When he hit 9 months the treats and positive training STOPPED working. He did great with no distractions but real life? Absolutely not. I wasn't able to walk him anymore. He was TOO much for me to handle at 70 pounds. My dog loving Aunt who uses him with her dogs and fosters suggested I sign up for his online lessons. At this point I figured what could it hurt and it was less money than 2 private sessions with my other trainer. Ok so...20 minutes in...positive and negative reinforcement?!? Hello!?! Makes so much sense. I did the research and got the pinch collar and the ez trainer 300 collar and less then 1 week later...here we are! On a walk with other dogs, other people and he didn't pull, no lunging and I didn't fear once the life of a passing pedestrian, dog, cyclist, squirrel or chipmunk and I didn't fear being pulled into another state on a last minute whim of my 10 month old Sheprador which let me tell you was fully a worry of mine a couple weeks ago. So excited to continue these online lessons. I finally feel like I'm equipped.

I've used Sergio's services 3 times…read more 1st: I have a pool and I needed our two young dogs to know how to swim in case they ever fall in. I have participated in a lot of dog training over the years and this was just a great experience. Empathetic. Knowledgeable. Not stingy with knowledge. Positive and enthusiastic with my dogs. I knew Mei Mei, the lab, would love water with the right early exposure, but I wasn't sure about my mastiff puppy, who is less confident. She was getting in and swimming like she was born to it and having a great time! He even had suggestions for some behavioral issues I am having. 10/10 would rehire and recommend. Great experience. Clearly very knowledgeable and positive trainer. 2nd: I went back to Sergio for a 4 week Board & Train for my Mom's young lab, Mei Mei. 3rd: Then just after my Mom's dog came back, we sent my young english mastiff, Starry. These two girls couldn't be more different. Mei Mei is a Tigger kind of dog. She is enthusiastic, rambunctious, outgoing, and also quite a mischievious girl. She is sneaky and quiet. She loves raiding the kitchen sink and counter surfing above all things and loves when a new visitor comes and she can run and throw her whole body into their middles in welcome. (OOF) She also has absolutely no understanding of personal space or respecting other dogs' personal boudaries. Our older dachshunds did not approve. Starry is loving and sweet, a soccer playing virtuoso, but also inappropriately protective her Mama and unsure of herself on walks or in stores. There was also occasional discord between Starry and an older dachshund and also with her Dad. Sergio works magic. He sent me videos so I could see my dogs' interactions with him. He told me what he was working on, what he observed, and what things would be good for me to do when they came home. I could see them warm up to him, their body language change, their bodies relax into the steady leadership he offers. I saw videos of them on walks during the day and at night, around people and kids and noise. I saw them in stores and relaxing in the outdoor patio at Uncle Bear's restaurant. I saw exercises he did with the dogs and he explained the different things he was doing to ensure the training met their individual personalities and needs. The dogs were around children, dogs, adults, noises, basketball games, had exposure to cats on their walks, all the things. Now both of our dogs are back home and we couldn't be happier with their progress. Rome wasn't built in a day, and there are changes that have to be made here at home, but we have seen our success following the paths he laid out and I think we understand it well enough to get all four of our dogs under the same set of rules. Sergio has been great through all of our interactions. He isn't stingy with knowledge or help or reminding you of the right way to do something. And my dogs love him. He also brought them back with the training tools he purchased for them - part of the package. He showed me how to use them properly. I liked the continuity for the dogs. Same rules. Same tools. I have found Sergio to be fair and trustworthy. His training package is reasonable for the work that he does. Our dogs and I got more out of his training than I have out of 5 or 6 eight week classes plus 4 or 5 months of individual training with other trainers. 10/10 would use him again and recommend him to anyone.

We scheduled an in-home appointment with Sergio and I went along to observe. Within less than 2 hours Woody the dog was listening to commands and obeying the directions.

From the moment I reached out to Cait she has made the whole process extremely simple. Sarge went away for a month but we kept in touch with daily videos that showed a completely different dog. A CALM TRAINED DOG. We finally got him back and it's night and day. He's walking beside me without any leash tension, he can stay on his bed when people ring the doorbell and come into the house, and his demeanor is very calm and relaxed. I am so impressed and completely trust Cait with any questions or concerns as she is extremely knowledgeable. One other major perk is if your dog graduates from the 30 day training, they offer boarding along with touch up training. I am highly recommending Cait, especially if you are frustrated with your dog and don't have the skills to train it properly, it has been a great investment! Thank you Cait and Jordan

My dog Sawyer spends three mornings a week bowling for crows with Jennifer, and we are far better…read moreoff for it! A bit of background: My wife and I have a dog-walking business, and my wife has been in the business for almost a dozen years. When we got Sawyer, it seemed like a no-brainer that he would get everything he needed from us, and we felt he was so very lucky to be able to go out to the park every day, often all day. What we did not yet realize was that all dogs do not benefit from the same kind of park experiences and the same kind of stimulation. Over a few years, we saw Sawyer's behavior deteriorate to a point where we were spending a ton of time and attention just managing his behavior when we were out with our groups. It was so confusing and disheartening: he used to love dogs, and still had so many doggie friends! As his scraps became more common, we decided he just could not come out with us anymore. That's right, WE FIRED OUR OWN DOG. In the meantime, my wife has been expanding her skill base and learning more and more about the scientific approach to dog training. It has made a big difference in how we handle the dogs in our business, but we still found it hard to look at OUR dog's behavior and do anything about that. Typical Cobbler's Son issues! When we started looking for someone to help us with Sawyer, we literally had a city full of non-aversive trainers to choose from. My wife knew Jennifer socially, and we trusted her approach. Jennifer helped us see that the dog park was no place for Sawyer. Her skills are AMAZING. She really SEES what is going on with the dog, and can create a pattern of activity that suits him better and keeps him from "having" to do his naughty business, when he would rather avoid it. He is happier and more relaxed, in addition to thoroughly and properly stimulated, since we started using Jennifer's service and following her advice. Our time with him is so much more enjoyable.

The term "dog trainer" does not cover half of what Jennifer Joyce is or does. We call her a dog…read morechaplain. We had a extremely fear-aggressive dog who was barking, lunging, and snapping at people with hats, backpacks, and canes. Benny also was reactive to other dogs on leash and we lived on a busy city neighborhood street where you can't walk a block without running into at least one of these things. Benny bit the mailman when our neighbor buzzed him into our shared back courtyard. Things got so bad we even talked about euthanizing him. We worked with Jennifer Joyce on and off for two years. Jennifer was incredibly compassionate, caring, calm, but also firm and straight-up with us. Her one basic rule was that we always had to tell her the truth about what we were doing or not doing in terms of training exercises (which she could tell anyways based on what the dog did or didn't do). I don't know how she was as patient and non-judgmental and non-shaming as she was, given how long it took for us to "get it." Jennifer was patient and worked with us to: 1) Grieve the loss of the dog we thought we were going to have (no coffee shop hanging out, no hanging out at dog park) 2) Accept the dog we did have (loving, anxious, playful, fearful and devoted) 3) Understand the world from Benny's perspective. Benny wasn't trying to be a jerk-- Benny was deeply afraid. And our job as his guardians were to protect him. Jennifer helped us understand this, as well as give us the tools to increase Benny's sense of safety and train him to always look to us when he sees something which scares him. Fast forward to now: We are wonderfully happy family. Walks with Benny around the neighborhood have improved dramatically. Before, it had gotten to the point where we dreaded walking him. Now it is much easier and we feel a lot calmer because now we have the tools from Jennifer. We still have to be aware and make good choices, but working with Jennifer helped us build the skills and the awareness that we needed. Two years ago we couldn't imagine how we would get through one week (or sometimes even one walk), and here we are now feeling happy and much more comfortable. Now instead of being so resentful or scared about his behavior, we can really enjoy Benny as the wonderful, playful, loving dog that he is. It was incredible working with Jennifer. It changed our entire relationship with Benny, and reduced massive amounts of stress in our lives.
