As a blind dog I was unsure of how he could be helped and then along came Kate! She is an amazing, kind, and super informative person. When she arrives it is straight to work and she is very quick to address what is wrong and what solutions can be made. She left every session with a couple of "homework assignments" until we were able to meet again. Iggy has done a complete 180 thanks to her help. He now allows anyone to pet, carry, and snuggle him. Thank you so much!

I stopped in here on the recommendation of another pet store. I was looking for fancy pet mice and…read morethey suggested Petsmart. I said, "They only seem to have white mice..." and the lady told me that this store actually had black colored fancy pet mice. She'd just been there the day before. So I drove over and lo and behold, they had three fancy mice - one white one with slightly long fur, and two mice that were black and white. The two black and white mice didn't look to be in tip top health though, with both appearing to be sort of hunch-backed. Even so, I asked to see one of them, and got to hold her, and decided to bring her home as a friend for my calico mouse. The staff was very compassionate about the mice and assured he she would quarantine the other black and white one (who looked significantly less well) and have their vet take a look at her. She also confirmed I was only looking for a mouse as a pet, and not for some other purpose. I had to enter my name, address, phone number and email into their system to purchase this mouse. I didn't love that part, but I guess I understand their concern when selling live pets. Overall the store was clean, the pets I saw looked to be in good health (except for these two mice, one of which I did end up buying). The staff I interacted with were all friendly and professional. I was also assured they had a 2 week period where I could return the mouse if she was truly unwell or if she didn't get along with my other mouse or something.

I had recently had a negative experience with a self-proclaimed behaviorist, and I was really feeling frustrated and defeated. Nicole is not just amazingly knowledgeable; she is so sincere and compassionate. Every interaction with her is like I am talking to a friend and even when she is insanely busy, she will reply to my overly emotional emails with a calmness that I admire. Nicole takes the time to understand you, your dogs, and she has helped us so much with her suggestions and pointers. I highly recommend all of her books, I have read 3 and they are all helpful, informative, and easy reads for anyone. She is an amazing human and an incredible dog trainer. Thank you, Nicole for everything you have done for me and the girls!!

We have three dogs - two Great Danes and a Corgi-Beagle - our youngest Dane and the Corgi-Beagle have started fighting, which is particularly scary considering the size difference. From the moment I first spoke with Nicole, I felt the stress that has overshadowed the household begin to dissipate. She has hands on experience in all areas of dog behavior and training, but specifically wrote a book on this topic called "Keeping the Peace: A Guide to Solving Dog-Dog Aggression in the Home" that is a great compliment to the private sessions we've been doing with her. She has a calm, gentle approach to training and discipline that the dogs instantly respond to, and we've made great strides in the short time we've been with her. Nicole is fantastic at communication, always calls or emails back if we have questions in between sessions, gives up homework to follow up on, and most importantly, she truly loves and understands dogs - and they love and understand her back.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn't just about obedience -- it was about creating a safe, friendly, and enjoyable environment for both dogs and their humans. Our one-year-old puppy can be a handful, but the team made the whole process feel surprisingly easy and stress-free. They took the time to get to know my pup's personality and worked with me at a pace that felt comfortable and encouraging. You can tell they genuinely care about each dog and want to help them succeed. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable but also super approachable -- I felt supported the entire way through. It was a relief knowing my puppy was in a space that prioritized safety and positivity. I can't recommend Stable Dog Training enough if you're looking for professional, kind, and effective training in a welcoming atmosphere. Even for just an evaluation and I already noticed a difference before we left the evaluation.

Thanks to Mariana and Griff my boy has been doing great and is getting out and about more. Would recommend these folks to anyone.

When you have your first meet and greet, you have the privilege of meeting the owner and the petsitter at your residence. We take quite a few trips, and now Pet Care of SC have it down pat on what to do during hot/cold days, normal days, giving them pet meds, walks, and they even take care of your mail, trash days, take in your packages, etc! Your home and pets are taken care of while you are gone, now that's great service! I met the sitters that come to our home. They are kind, responsible and they enjoy our pets. You can book service for your pets through an app, or online. If you have any questions about it, Suzie is always happy to accommodate and help you with that too. The Pet Care Club of Santa Clarita has great rates! At the end of the trip, I like to give the sitters a tip for their time and gas. It's just a suggestion, not a requirement. I highly recommend this company! Suzie is warm, and her team is fantastic! Thumbs way up! Great job, PCCOSC!!!

Suzie provided private boarding for my dog Jerry and treated him like her own. It was clear from…read morethe start that this was more than just a service, he was genuinely cared for, safe, loved, and comfortable in a true home setting. She went above and beyond with updates, photos, and messages that gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of the country for almost two weeks. Vanessa came to my house to check in on my extremely shy and very skittish cat, who refuses to leave the house under any circumstances. Anyone who has met my cat knows she does not trust easily, but Vanessa was patient, calm, and respectful of her space. She still managed to connect enough to make sure she was fed, cared for, and feeling secure. The regular updates were beyond appreciated, I loved knowing she was in such thoughtful hands. Both of them consistently sent me updates, which I truly valued, especially being out of the country for nearly two weeks. Traveling is stressful enough, and having sitters I completely trusted made all the difference. If you need boarding or in-home sitting for pets with big personalities, or tiny terrified ones, you're in the best hands with Suzie and Vanessa. Thank you both for the love, attention, and reassurance. I will absolutely be booking again!

We take our rescue puppy, Zero, to the puppy socialization classes on Tuesdays and Saturdays. He started out hiding under our chairs and after 3 weeks is starting to play with the other puppies! We're so happy with his socialization progress, especially because he has no other outlet yet while he's only partially vaccinated (puppies require 2 of 3 vaccine rounds). We're also so glad to have the trainers' help when assessing his play, Zero is our first puppy so we don't yet understand what his behavior means; Seth and Beth are incredibly helpful in interpreting what our pup is feeling! The trainers, led by Seth and Beth, give excellent lessons in obedience; they've really helped me see how "tricks" like sitting or touching are the foundation for good behavior later on like being home alone or recall. They also take time at the end of each class to make individualized recommendations, which has helped a ton with our puppy's biting. With lots of at-home practice, our puppy has learned a lot of really great behaviors; now that he's playing with other pups, he's starting to get distracted in class, but we're so thankful to have the trainers' help in redirecting him! The puppy classes are a mix of training and play with alternating 10-15 min sessions of each, which allows socialization and prevents the pups from getting bored of training. The trainers here really balance training and socialization well (which we never could have done on our own), they know just when to let our puppy play and when to give him boundaries. If you're thinking of taking your puppy here, all I can say is "DO IT!"

As soon as we came in we were welcomed by everyone on the staffing team. The girls at the front desk were phenomenal! Every concern or question I had they were able to answer and helped us through this difficult time. They did an exam and did X-rays. We knew surgery was going to have to happen but the way we were reassured during the entire process was great. We were able to stay with our baby the entire time until he went into surgery. ( they do have a glass window where you can watch them do the surgery ) I was updated throughout the whole process with texts and the doctor called as soon as they were finished. The next morning when we came to pick him up he was happy and you could tell he was well taken care of. I can't express the gratitude I have for this place, not for just taking great care of our baby but for helping us cope through this entire process.

We've taken multiple group classes, individual lessons, and she has even done drop- ins at our home during the day while we are at work. Her methods REALLY WORK! She teaches you how important engagement is and how to build a relationship with your dog. With her your dogs will learn how to make good choices on their own, not just when you ask. All of her methods are force-free, which in my opinion are the only truly effective methods. Methods that use fear/intimidation are just suppressing behaviors not truly changing them. Her style and approach of training is not a fast/easy fix. It requires commitment from you to practice with your dog daily (which is easier than you think), but it is effective and so rewarding.
