We had such an amazing experience with Samantha! Our biggest concern with our dog, Bailey, was that…read moreshe was very pull-y on walks and would get very anxious and bark at other dogs easily. Samantha was very good at sending us daily video/photo updates which allowed us to see her transform into a more obedient dog over the 3 weeks. She made sure to take her to various locations to expose her to different environments (outdoor malls; pet stores, dog beaches, etc). It really seemed like she was having a blast while still being trained well! It's been a few weeks now since Bailey is back home and we truly see a difference in her walks. She walks along side us and doesn't pull on the leash. She is much more calm when seeing other dogs. We 100% recommend her to anyone!

We started with them when our Belgian Malinois was 4 months old, we also decided to do the 3-week Board and Train program when Logan, our trainer, recommended it to us. I'm so thankful and truly appreciate Logan's patience, dedication, and willingness to work with both us and our dog. He has been an amazing trainer and has been there to guide us every step of the way. One thing about Logan is that he doesn't just train the dog, he teaches the owners how to properly communicate, build understanding, and explain how training will look when continuing at home. I can confidently say we've learned much as owners and we've seen such a positive difference in our dog, and we're so grateful we found Elevated Canine and Logan. Although there's been some instances in which we arrive a little late, Logan, with the positive spirit that he has, is always so understanding and welcoming. He never makes us down or shuns us- nothing but a great attitude and an eagerness to educate! You can genuinely feel the love and care Logan puts into his job and especially with our Darius. He's always willing to board Darius whenever we need it, especially on the days when I'm busy or working overtime at work, and that means so much to us. Knowing that Darius is somewhere he is loved, cared for, and in good hands gives us so much peace of mind. We're excited to continue working with them and if we could have the opportunity to meet thee great Oscar Mora, we'd want express our gratitude as well as mention how wonderfully he picked and taught his staff. He hired really good people who go above and beyond! May God continue to bless them and his whole foundation. Highly recommend Elevated Canine to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about the dogs and the people they work with!

Ruby is a recent graduate of the Puppy school and Beyond the basics programs, and we couldn't be…read moremore grateful for our experience here at Pack Pawsitive! When we started looking for a training program for Ruby last year, she was very dependent, anxious around other dogs, and struggled with listening to commands. Through a friend, we heard about Pack Pawsitive and were impressed with what was being taught here. When we were first introduced to the trainer Harmony, she was very kind and attentive and we knew she would make a difference in Ruby's learning experience. We loved reading through Ruby's report card at the end of each day and seeing what new things she learned! One of the best parts of Pack Pawsitive's programs is the digital resource library where we can refer to handouts and videos that throughly explained how we can continue to train Ruby at home. The in-person training sessions were also especially helpful, and Harmony was very insightful towards our questions and concerns. Seeing Ruby's growth week to week has been extremely rewarding and couldn't have been done without Harmony and the trainers at Pack Pawsitive. Ruby has become much more confident and focused, and has improved so much with socializing with other dogs. She learned new cues like recall, place, leave it, leash manners, and door manners which has made a great difference in our daily routines. With Ruby's newfound skills, we feel much more comfortable introducing her to new environments. Thank you to the team at Pack Pawsitive for providing a safe, caring, and of course positive learning environment for our pup! We're looking forward to solidifying Ruby's learning experience through the Enrichment daycare program.

A very overdue review for No Bull Rehab…read more A little background on our dog, Bubba: we adopted him from the Inland Valley Humane Society after looking for a young adult dog who would fit well with our two small kids. Bubba, a 2-year-old shepherd bulldog mix, seemed perfect -- sweet, potty trained, and a staff favorite. We fell in love immediately. Once we brought him home, though, we realized he had some significant behavioral challenges. Bubba was highly reactive to other dogs and had severe separation anxiety. He was destructive when left alone and even injured himself trying to escape two metal crates. Managing his anxiety while also handling his reactivity became overwhelming for our family. I've had dogs my whole life, so at first I tried working through it on my own. Eventually, though, it became clear we needed professional help. We met with several trainers, but nothing felt like the right fit. Many approaches seemed like temporary fixes that didn't address the root causes of his behavior. When we were expecting our third child, I knew we needed a real solution, so I started researching behavior-focused board-and-train programs. After a lot of searching, I found No Bull Rehab through a rescue organization they worked with. From the very first interaction, Sarah was incredibly responsive, empathetic, and informative. That communication alone stood out immediately. We brought Bubba in for a consultation with Drew and Sarah, and after just one meeting, we knew they were the right people for him. Their ability to read and explain his behavior was such a relief. Drew is so calm and completely in tune with all things dog. We enrolled Bubba in their 8-week behavior modification board-and-train program focused on his reactivity and anxiety. Throughout the process, communication was excellent. We received regular updates and always felt informed and supported. At one point, Bubba injured his foot by puncturing in between his toe on a walk during training, and they took incredible care of him -- coordinating vet visits, follow-ups, and adjusting his training while he healed. We trusted them so much that we chose to leave him there during recovery rather than bring him home. What really made the difference was that Drew didn't just train Bubba -- he trained us. He showed us realistic, sustainable ways to structure our daily life so Bubba could feel safe, calm, and successful. Unlike other programs that required hours of daily training, No Bull's approach fit naturally into real family life. The change in Bubba has been incredible. He's still himself -- a little anxious and quirky -- but now we have the tools to manage him safely and confidently. We can walk him daily, leave him home alone, and enjoy life with him instead of constantly living on edge. Most importantly, he's happier, and so are we. Even after training, Sarah and Drew have continued to be responsive and supportive whenever we've had questions. We live in Orange County and still bring Bubba back to No Bull whenever we travel because they know and understand him so well. Living with a behaviorally challenging dog can feel isolating and exhausting, but No Bull Rehab truly changed our lives with Bubba. We're incredibly grateful for everything they've done for our family, and I cannot recommend them enough.

I took 10 lessons from her, and each of them paid for themselves so quickly: my dog took to the skills almost immediately and Anna really set me up to succeed so that I could train my dog during the week and receive a new assignment to practice the coming week. Depending on your budget, $90/lesson can seem like a lot, but it was incredible value for me given that she drove to meet me near my house and based on the quality of classes I've taken before (which were usually in a group). I'm really happy with how much progress we've been able to make together, and throughout all of this, Anna answered all of my questions and concerns very quickly -- she really knows her stuff! I can't recommend her enough.
