What a relief it is to be gone a week on vacation returning home to a very content 18 year old cat…read more( that we always think is dying) and a year and a half old dog that acted like I just returned from the market. How fortunate to find Kat and her team who are professional, provided great communication, pictures and videos, and I had a worry free time away. From the moment my pets met Kat, she commanded instant respect. Kat has that magic that animal respond to. My dog Bella watched her like a hawk and did everything she asked when she said it. Even things I didn't think she would understand! I realized in that moment my dog has been ignoring me! LOL Go ahead book your stay with Kat now, I already booked our next trip with her. I selfishly almost didn't want to share her if you know what I mean.

He first went for 7 nights when he was 4.5 months old and again for a 3 night refresher to reinforce existing skills and learn an important new command once he was more mentally mature at 7 months old. Kat took the time to really understand his lifestyle and shape his training goals with me ahead of both stays and both times we got back a happy, healthy and focused pup who loves to show off his tricks and manners! He was understandably a little nervous the first time we dropped him off but the second time he was thrilled to be back, which just shows how much fun he had there with her!! You can tell that Kat cares deeply about the dogs she works with and I'm so glad we found her out here in the desert. I highly recommend the customizable board and train service to provide structure, fundamentals and/or personalized learning (then you just need to stay consistent at home continuing to reinforce the new skills). Thank you Kat for all you've taught Ozzie - we will definitely be back!

Absolutely Amazing Dog Trainer -- Brooke at Majestic Dog Training!…read more After Olive was attacked at a dog park, she became extremely reactive and anxious around other dogs. Walks became stressful, and she would lunge at dogs even from a distance. At home, Olive is a true "love bug," so we knew she was scared--not a bad dog--and needed the right guidance. Before we ever met Brooke, we received a recommendation for another dog trainer. That person told us Olive would likely be untrainable, explaining that many dogs attacked at dog parks can never be rehabilitated enough to become non-aggressive. They essentially gave up on her before even meeting her. I told them I would never give up on Olive and that I would find someone who could help her. We were so blessed to receive a referral to Brooke at Majestic Dog Training. After just a few sessions, Olive has made tremendous progress. Her reactivity and anxiety have significantly decreased, and she is learning to stay calm and look to us for direction when she sees another dog. She is happier, calmer, and more confident--and so are we! Brooke's approach combines positive reinforcement, patience, consistency, calmness, support, and love. She is incredibly positive, adaptable, and genuinely passionate about dogs. She worked with our schedule, was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and made the entire training process easy and comfortable for us. One of the best parts is seeing Olive when we return after training. She is so happy, excited, and clearly loves Brooke. That says everything. Brooke has built a trusting relationship with Olive, and it is obvious how much she truly cares about every dog she works with. If you are looking for a dog trainer in the desert, choose Brooke. Her positivity, love of dogs, flexibility, and dedication set her apart from anyone else. She helped us understand Olive's behavior and gave us practical tools to help her succeed. I will never recommend anyone else. Brooke is the only name I will give to anyone who wants their dog trained. She has made an incredible difference in Olive's life and ours, and we are forever grateful!

I think Brooke was born to do this. Besides being patient, gentle and observant with our 7 year…read moreold Airedale rescue, she has an amazing intuition and sensitivity for what our Oliver is thinking/feeling and why he behaves the way he does. Brooke is great with people too - we feel a real partnership with her as we make this journey. It's exciting to see the improvement in Oliver already. She has given us confidence that he can get past his issues -- and that we, our other dog Georgie and Oliver can live (and walk) happily ever after. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brooke. Any dog would be lucky to have her. Ours is!

At home Poppy barks at new people coming into the house and then shortly after they enter, she stops. Skipper Pip on the other hand is a grand AHOLE that will continually bark till our guest sits down or stops moving and it starts back up when they start moving again. ‍ I can say that nothing I did worked to stop or curb this little booger from barking. I watched countless videos and NOTHING WAS WORKING! I created a tiny monster. I finally had had enough and sought out a professional. I found Janine here on the internet. I didn't really know what to expect or how hard this was going to be. I didn't care, I needed help and was willing to do whatever an expert would tell me to do. Getting to know Janine and working with her has been super easy. I listed in detail all of the behavior issues that I have with Skipper but mostly it's the constant barking. Lord have mercy on my ears. The first visit is an assessment, explanation of how your dog thinks and how they understand you, and for us; some basics to start getting *operation no more barking* underway. Janine is very thorough so you understand both human and dog points of view. I really like this comprehensive approach. She trains you to train your dog so that your pet can thrive. Janine is not a cookie cutter style dog trainer. She is adaptive in finding what works best for you and your pooch. This is just the hands on learning Skipper and I needed. Thank you Janine, you are a treasure. Skipper's Results after working with Janine: *No longer barks when in public (on leash or in a stroller.) *No longer barks at the gardeners or pool guy. *Walks on a leash with ease w/zero pulling. *Knows the difference between Working Walk and Leisurely Walk. *Does not freak out at other dogs. Is perfectly calm and confident that I will not let anything happen to her. *No longer licks paws unless right before bed. *Significantly less anxiety overall.

Lucky dog is the best. We have had many dog trainers through the years…read more The most important lesson I've learned over many years, is you can't send your furry baby away for training without the dog parent doing the work. You have to be trained too. I've leaned so much from Marko. My dog Rosie was a shelter dog, we have so much to learn from Lucky Dog. It's not just Rosie being trained, it's me! Lucky Dog is amazing my Rosie has come so far in just a couple of months. Rosie will demonstrate by video what she's learned but when she comes home she will revert to old behavior if I'm not doing my job of reinforcing her training. Lucky dog is sensitive to each dog and the dog parent. I can't say enough about his skill level and the way he works with each family. The best of the best. We are lucky to have them in the valley.

5+ Stars to PetSmart La Quinta's trainer, Justus Suderman, who led our "Puppy" class…read more Here's what went well: Program - organized, thoughtful and progressive. Loved the training booklet (with pictures!) they provided to us which depicted the commands we used in class as well as helpful tips and information. Trainer - Justus was friendly, organized, knowledgeable and did a great job presenting the information each week. He was super patient and didn't just cover the curriculum, but always spent time each week addressing questions and challenges we (as new puppy owners) experienced while providing solutions. Format - Informal, positive, and puppy friendly (no harsh methods, only positive methods of working with the pups). Loved the group format. Our five month old Bernedoodle got a lot out of the class. So much so she graduated and we signed her up for the intermediate class.

I recently started shopping here again after spending probably the last 10 years going to Petco…read more Unfortunately, today reminded me why I stopped coming here in the first place. I arrived about 10 minutes before the store opened. There were several employees already inside, and there were multiple customers waiting outside: myself, another woman, and a couple with their dog. Now, I completely understand that the posted opening time is 9:00 a.m. What I found ridiculous was the way the situation was handled. A few minutes before 9:00, an employee came to the door and let the couple with the dog inside because they were there for grooming, which apparently opens earlier. Meanwhile, the rest of us were literally left standing at the door and made to wait until exactly 9:00 on the dot. Would it have destroyed the operation of the store to let two waiting customers step inside a couple of minutes early while the door was already being opened? Apparently, according to manager Melissa, yes. The whole interaction came across as unnecessarily petty and more about exercising authority than providing good customer service. There is a big difference between following store hours and going out of your way to make customers feel unwelcome. The other woman who had been waiting outside ended up leaving too -- and, amusingly enough, I ran into her shortly afterward at Petco. So congratulations: instead of gaining back two customers, you sent both of us directly to your competitor. Melissa may technically have been within her rights to make everyone wait until exactly 9:00, but good managers understand that customer service requires judgment, courtesy, and common sense -- not a stopwatch and a power trip. One star. I'm back to Petco, and I won't be returning.
