My calm 6 month old Goldendoodle
Matthew S.

I'd like to start by saying I was not the easiest client as I had to change the dates of my training multiple times due to my changing schedule and negligence. Deja and Tony were very patient and accommodating to my schedule. I needed dog training and coaching for myself for my Golden Doodle puppy who had separation anxiety and had bad leash manners. Using a combination of physical corrections, treats, and praise(Tony's signature is corrections), my pup and household is now in a much better place. I highly recommend First Class Boarding for their effectiveness, flexibility, and patience. Thank you, Tony!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! First Class Boarding & Training has exceeded every expectation my wife and I had. We brought home our 11‑week‑old Golden Retriever, Chloe, and signed her up with Tony that same week and it was hands down the best decision we made. In just five sessions, Chloe went from totally untrained to understanding her boundaries at home, recalling reliably, staying composed around people, and even remaining calmly in her crate with the door open until she's invited out, the list goes on. The transformation has been incredible. Tony is amazing, every session with him has genuinely been the highlight of our week. And from day one, Dejah has been extremely responsive and communicative, making the whole process seamless. We've officially completed Phase 1 (in‑home training) and are excited to start Phase 2 (outdoor training) with Chloe soon. If you're looking for top-notch training from people who truly care, this is the place!

Tony is a wonderful trainer who truly cares about the wellbeing of dogs. He helped my dog who struggled with leash aggression learn how to become friendly around other dogs by teaching and correcting his behavior within a few sessions. My dog has completely transformed into a new dog and my relationship with my dog has improved greatly from this training. If you're considering coming here for training, I would say go for it! Thanks Tony!

Tony is great with dogs and people! Really glad we went ahead and book our behavior training sessions with him. He is so patient, understanding and willing to explain. Very reasonably priced unlike all the packages out there.

.First Class Boarding and Training are absolutely amazing. I have 3 rambunctious Frenchies that go to FC and boy , let me tell you they take such good care of them ! They are attentive and so accommodating. My pups are my world and I would not trust anyone but FC to take care of babies ! Thank you First Class for all that you do, we appreciate you immensely!

Oakley and his sisters
Mike S.

I recently rescued a German Shorthaired Pointer named Oakley, and was a bit stressed out since I had 4 cats. Oakley had no prior exposure to cats and his breed are known to not do well with small animals. I sought out quotes from various trainers near me and TJ gave me a call an hour after my inquiry. He was the first to send me anything and was excited about what was to come. He let me know that I would be working with Tony since Tony specializes in working with the dog's psyche. I went in for an introduction and Tony got to meet Oakley. Immediately, everyone treated us like family. They were all welcoming and excited for our task. Tony gave me a reasonable quote for in-home sessions and we started the next week. During our sessions, Tony used prior experience to make the entire process easy and stress free. He knew what would work best with our Oakley. I was never scared or afraid and always trusted Tony's opinion. The results showed almost immediately. In between our sessions, I asked Tony for further advice on what I could do to improve Oakley's co-existence with our cats. Tony emphasized many times that if I had any questions to reach out to him. By our 4th session, Oakley was doing amazing. All thanks to Tony and the team. Because of how great Oakley did, we pivoted to recall work. It was great since Oakley and I do a lot of hiking. Tony was accommodating and always respectful. His experience and knowledge were invaluable. AJ and Dejah provided great customer service whenever I talked with them. Overall, I had such an amazing experience with this team. 10/10 would recommend!!! Do not hesitate!!

Teddy and Lilly learning to stay in place until released.
Ryan K.

My wife and I had Tony help us with training our two dogs, Teddy and Lilly and absolutely loved the experience. Tony was punctual, very patient and really took the time to explain to us everything we needed to know. We went through different environments and scenarios as well as different triggers with the dogs and our dogs responded extremely well. Even after the first training, there was a change in attitude and behavior. For reference, our dogs are 8 and 9 years old so it definitely not true that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Thank you Tony, you put our concerns and challenges with our dogs at ease!

Deja giving Lucky some love!
January R.

Let me start by saying the whole team took care of my furr baby like their own. It was our first time leaving our furr baby. I got daily pictures and a quick text response when I checked in on my baby from Deja. They took her on daily walks and when I picked her up she smelled clean. I highly recommend this place.

Tony taught me very simple and practical ways to essentially understand how dogs think and communicate.

Smarte Parke has been such an amazing experience so far. I have taken my 8 year old Great Pyrenees…read moretwice to the one in Brea and once to the one in Corona. Nova isn't a huge player, but she loves to observe and get attention from the humans. I love watching her on the webcam hang out with dogs that are her same temperament. She was having really bad separation anxiety when I went to work ever since her older sister passed. Taking her to Smarte Parke while I am at work has helped so much with both of our peace of mind. We drive up and she is so excited to go see all her doggo friends (and human ones too!) Thank you for being so caring to all the dogs! Also side note thank you for keeping the day care area so clean and being so attentive! You guys are great!

I've been bringing my dog here for daycare and boarding, and overall I've had a really positive…read moreexperience. To be transparent, my very first visit had a few hiccups. I was thankful that they accepted my county vaccination paperwork and that I was able to board my dog privately until she was spayed (which I did complete). There were some initial issues related to camera access and paperwork that were a bit frustrating at the time. The camera issue itself ultimately appeared to be more of a technical problem, but the initial communication at the front desk left me feeling like my concerns weren't fully heard. Looking back, it seems like something that could have been easily clarified with better communication. That said, coming from a customer service background, I believe it's important to give businesses the opportunity to address concerns before forming a final opinion. What really stood out to me was how the management team handled everything. They reached out, listened, and took my concerns seriously. They made the effort to explain, correct, and improve the experience, and followed up in a way that felt genuine and accountable. The issue was addressed quickly, and I truly believe they used the feedback as an opportunity to improve, which I really respect. Since then, I've continued bringing my dog here regularly - including overnight stays - and the difference has been clear. The staff is attentive, kind, and very in tune with the dogs. They recognize her, look forward to seeing her, and consistently keep me informed about how she's doing, including any concerns. She is treated with patience and care. They've also gone above and beyond in ways that meant a lot to me. They honored a daycare promotion I had missed when I first enrolled, and during a recent visit when my dog had been sprayed by a skunk, the team was incredibly attentive and helped clean her thoroughly and thoughtfully. That level of care made a stressful situation so much easier. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained, and the team members who work directly with the dogs genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. I have no doubt that they have the dogs' best interests in mind, even knowing how challenging it can be to manage so many different personalities. No place is perfect, and dogs can be unpredictable, but what matters most to me is how a business responds when something doesn't go as planned. In this case, they made it right, and that's why they've become my go-to for daycare and boarding. I'm very thankful to have found them, and my dog clearly feels comfortable there, which says everything.

Finding a pet boarding place you can truly trust is honestly so hard, but Dog Den+ made me feel way…read moremore at ease. The staff were attentive, caring, and very patient with my dog. You can tell they genuinely love animals. I appreciated that they don't just throw all the dogs together -- they actually do temperament checks first and pay attention to each dog's behavior and comfort level. The place itself was also super clean and organized. My favorite part was the huge outdoor play area and how happy my dog looked during pickup She honestly looked like she had her own little vacation. Would definitely bring her back again!

They have both…read moreindoor and outdoor play areas for the dogs, and both spaces are quite large, so it doesn't feel crowded at all. The facility itself is very well equipped, with more than 100 rooms. They also have separate isolation rooms in case a dog gets sick, which helps prevent illnesses from spreading to other dogs. I thought that was a huge plus. All new dogs are required to provide vaccination records, and they also do about a 20-minute temperament assessment before joining. Based on each dog's personality, they arrange suitable playgroups instead of just mixing all the dogs together. The staff are also very professional and attentive. They keep daily records of each dog's eating habits and bathroom activity, which really gives owners extra peace of mind. Overall, it feels like a very responsible and well-organized place for dogs.

I was really nervous having to board my dogs for the first time. When I first called them, one of…read morethe owners (owned by a really adorable husband and wife) answered the phone. I came to find out it was the wife and she took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. I requested to book a tour and asked if my dogs could come. The tour: The tour went great! They took the time to make sure not to approach my dogs too hastily and towards the end, my husband and I felt comfortable leaving our dogs with them! We ended up booking and saw they had an amazing deal if we paid for a yearly membership, which helped give a discount to book the play room to have our 2 dogs stay in, along with a free walk for both of them (they typically potty outside and know not to potty inside). We booked the boarding for about 4 days and found out they partnered with a groomer! My dogs got the grooming and they LOVED It there. They really got comfortable playing with the other dogs and loved the owners. 10 out of 5 stars if I could!!! Our dogs were happy, smelled fantastic (thanks groomers!), and weren't even that excited to see us when we came to pick them up (which I was a bit sad, but extremely happy because that meant they really enjoyed their stay!). Thank you Majesty Pet Hotels! If I ever go on vacation again, I know my dogs are well taken care of!!!
