We were unsure which program to choose but went with the off-leash program, and it was the best decision. Mack went from a high-energy puppy who struggled with listening, jumping, and leash pulling to a well-mannered, confident dog. With a one-year-old at home, having hands-free control over our large dog has been life-changing. The program's results have been night and day for our family. You can tell Joshua and Kayla truly care for and bond with every dog that comes through their programs, which made us feel so comfortable trusting them with Mack. An added bonus is their boarding option for program graduates, which includes a training refresh. It's a relief knowing we can leave Mack with people we trust while we're away. We can't recommend Joshua, Kayla, and Concierge K-9 Training enough. Their expertise and care have truly transformed our lives--and Mack's!

Robin is incredible. We adopted our dog and after taking him to a different obedience and a growly…read moredog class, neither of which helped much at all, we found Robin. We told her our dog gets overly excited when he sees other dogs and will bark etc, so asked if we could do a 1:1 session in our neighborhood. She suggested Green Lake and I said he would lose his mind with so many dogs. She said it would be fine and to our surprise she really helped redirect his behavior and it was a lot better than we thought. She gave us lots of info and after we decided to enroll in her basic obedience class in Seattle. The class was night and day compared to the first we took. Our dog was with the other two dogs and learned to socialize so well (in the first class we had to be separated so he wouldn't bark which stressed him out even more). The class was full of good ways to teach basic commands and you can tell how much she loves dogs by how sweet and loving she is with them. I highly recommend her class for anyone who wants to help their dog learn basic obedience.

I reached out to Sensitive Dog when I adopted my current dog Lexi, a poodle mix. I quickly realized…read morethat she was bigger, stronger, and marter than other dogs I have had. I had taken dogs into the past to group obedience classes, but I realized that I wanted more than that - I wanted to make sure that I strengthened our bond as much as I could and that I was giving this sweet, smart dog as enriching a life as possible. The experience was incredible. Julie's background and knowledge are beyond extensive, and she tailored our work together to both Lexi and me. It was wonderful with Julie, and I feel as if our relationship was greatly enhanced by the experience. Julie was willing to give suggestions and advice about a broad range of questions I had, and I am very grateful. Without a doubt - if I ever add another end, I will be reaching out to Julie. I cannot recommend Sensitive Dog more enthusiastically. Thank you so much!

Julie Forbes, the Sensitive Dog trainer saved us! Our 11 month old adopted puppy, Haggis was…read moreadorable, but soon became known in the neighborhood as Haggis the Horrible. He devolved into a frenzy of barking when any person, dog, bike, car, or even a garbage can was in his field of view. My vet recommended Ahimsa, which was absolutely no help. Haggis failed their Growley Class and thus was barred from any further classes. I did one on one training with them that was a complete waste of time and left poor little Haggis catatonic with fear. I never returned. The wonderful people at Portland Dachshund Rescue, where we adopted Haggis from, encouraged me to find a trainer who had worked with Dachshunds before, and or really understood how to help sensitive dogs. My hunt for a new trainer took over a year! But it was well worth the time and energy. When I contacted Julie I was hopeless and a bit frantic myself. We had to cancel vacations because poor Haggis couldn't tolerate anyone in the house except me and my husband. Julie was terrific! She talked me down off the imaginary cliff I was on and we signed up for the initial lessons. I warned her Haggis would bark at her the entire time, which he pretty much did. But Julie ignored him and kept talking to us over his barking. Haggis finally wore himself out and curled up at my feet throwing a stink-eye at Julie occasionally to reminder her he was watching her. Then a remarkable thing happened. Julie taught us a calming game for Haggis. She had us lead him through the basics while she continued to ignore his chuffs. After a few trials of learning the game, Haggis completely forgot about Julie. He was absorbed in the sniff game, which utilized all dachshunds's super skill: their nose! Haggis ran through the game eager to do it again and again. He approached Julie without barking and looked up at her wanting to play *with* her, instead. At the end of the lesson he jumped up on her couch and sat next to her, content with his new friend. Each class with Julie provided a similar breakthrough for Haggis. At the second class Haggis, bound out of the car, ran up to Julies classroom and barked to be let in. Haggis's affection never wavered for Julie, an neither did ours. WE learned valuable tools and correct training techniques to help Haggis overcome his fear aggression. Within months, Haggis stopped barking at people and let them approach to say hi. Dogs were still something he preferred to keep across the street from him, but soon he stopped barking like a frenzied Doberman ready to attack (I had two Dobermans and they were the sweetest boys!). I am grateful and astonished to say that with Julie's training and guidance, Haggis has no problem letting dogs pass him on the sidewalk and has made a few walking buddies in our neighborhood. Haggis, once the Horrible, has turned into Haggis the Adorable! And Julie Forbes deserves 100% of the credit. We are indebted to her forever!!!!

Ellie already knew sit, and Beth taught her look, touch, stay, wait, come, leave it, drop it, off, and how to handle alert barking in our condo.

Beth was warm, gentle yet firm, encouraging, kind, fun, and truly a joy to learn from. My husband, Mabel, and I could not have asked for a better more positive training experience!

We recently moved to the Seattle area from San Diego, and the transition was tough on our dog,…read moreOllie. We started noticing increased anxiety, aggression, and reactivity, especially on walks around our apartment and around strangers. Luckily, we found Matt online, and he has been a total game-changer. What truly impressed us was Matt's depth of knowledge, you could tell he really understood the unique personality and needs of the dogs he worked with, and this translated into tailored training recommendations. Matt has helped build Ollie's confidence so much! Ollie is now much calmer and significantly less reactive to strangers and other triggers. Ollie has also learned to look to us more in anxiety-inducing situations, which is invaluable. He is able to dismiss stuff that previously would have set him off! Matt helped improve his leash walking so much, and Ollie is now able to heel like a rockstar--so much less pulling and way more focus! His reactivity around the neighborhood to triggers has decreased significantly. Plus, Ollie has learned some cool new tricks, like how to stop on command. Matt provided many extra tools for our toolbox when navigating tricky situations. We truly can't recommend him enough!
