If anyone's looking for a puppy/dog training I CAN NOT say enough about Positive Energy Dog…read moreTraining in South SF. They really did they're thing with gracie 1) Her recall is fantastic! She's 5 months and I can already walk her off leash. 2)They really work with your schedule, I've been late may times picking Gracie up bc of work activities and the owners take her home with their dogs and they don't charge they even feed her puppy food! 3)She's SO FREAKING good on walks, when she pulls it's easy to correct her and once she gets one reward she's walking beside me and looking up the whole time ( unless there's a far more interesting dog off leash, but I'm working on being more fun than her distractions) Overall I have an incredibly HAPPY, social and obedient puppy at 5 months and I'm so grateful to that business Thank y'all so much can't wait to see how she progresses as she attends day care

We just got our pup back from a board & train with Viki. She's amazing! Genuine and truly cares…read moreabout the dogs she trains and wants them to lead amazing lives. She gives them and us(the owners), the tools to be able to do just that . Journey's just begun and we have more continued sessions with Viki to make us better parents and I look forward to getting better under her tutelage.

Lex, our 1-year-old Husky/Malamute mix, was a handful…read more He destroyed things around the house, barked when he didn't get his way (especially when it was time for his crate or bedtime), jumped and humped people and other dogs, counter surfed, dug, pulled, and basically did whatever he wanted. The biggest problem was that he just didn't listen. We reached out to several trainers and eventually found Viki through a mutual friend. From the beginning, she was super understanding of our situation, and her rates were very reasonable. After our consultation, she gave us a ton of advice and resources to work on with Lex before he even went to board with her. We started seeing changes pretty quickly, which made us feel a lot better about leaving him with her. During his boarding stay, Viki sent weekly videos/pictures, so we always knew how he was doing. By the time we had our final session, we honestly couldn't believe the difference. It felt like we had a completely different dog. Lex could heel, stopped pulling, wasn't constantly barking or chewing things, stopped counter surfing, and had an amazing recall. One thing Viki really emphasized was that the training doesn't stop when you pick your dog up. We needed to continue reinforcing everything Lex learned at home so it would become part of his everyday behavior. We actually did continue training with him consistently for a few months until we just got lazy. But even after that, Lex is still an amazing dog. I can trust him off-leash, his recall is incredible, he doesn't constantly bark, and he actually knows how to settle down and take a nap. I can even take a nap on the couch and trust that I'm not going to wake up to my house being destroyed. And honestly, being able to trust our Husky off-leash is something we never thought we'd be able to do. We genuinely appreciate everything Viki has done for Lex and would absolutely recommend her to anyone struggling with their dog. She clearly cares about the dogs she works with, and the difference she made with Lex has been huge.

Stella helped me with my dog Poppy when I was having a lot of issues with her reactivity. From…read moresession 1 and following her advice I started to see a huge difference with Poppy's calmness. By session 6 I could actually take her out and walk with her without her tugging on the leash. She got better at recall as well as listening to commands off leash in enclosed areas. While I couldn't finish my training with her due to me moving to the east coast, I truly appreciate her for how great she was at helping me make small changes that significantly impacted Poppy's calmness, patience and reactivity. I will continue to reinforce her training tips with Poppy to help her learn better. Bonus: Stella also provides tips with how certain products would work better for my dog and they actually did. Just introducing a new treat on our walks expedited her progress on leash pulling on our walks. Mega Bonus: she had a notion diary on all our training tips and videos for the session as well as homework. It helped me keep track of Poppy's progress and enforce the training at home easily. That was the most helpful for me.

We first enrolled about a year ago and Michael and Martha did an intake evaluation to make sure Pippa would fit in. After that Pippa was enrolled in their daycare 2x a week. One fabulous thing about Wiggling Tails is that they do pick up and drop offs in the city! Michael, Martha, and team are excellent communicators and are willing to be flexible. I LOVE all the fun photo shoots they do. They are so creative and go above and beyond. I'm including in my post the Valentine's Day and Mother's Day photo shoots which they framed for me . In addition to the photo shoots they will take action shots and videos of your pup during the day. I have always felt safe sending Pippa to Wiggling Tails. Pippa is always so excited when she sees the Wiggling Tails van and will literally leap into the crate in the back (and she hates crates)! I love Wiggling Tails and highly highly recommend them. It's been the best decision I've made for Pippa. Thank you Martha, Michael, and team for all you do for Pippa!

Not only do I trust and love Wiggling Tails for my dog's weekly daycare (and periodically overnight boarding), but Lizou LOVES them too... He knows that when he goes to Daycare, he's in for a day of fun with some doggos AND some humans. Getting Lizou integrated into the Wiggling Tails schedule at a young age (~6months) was the BEST decision we ever made -- for me, and for Lizou (for structure, for dog friendliness, etc.). I actively recommend my friends' pups to consider them too! Now, Lizou even has dog friends that he has known from "the outside" within the Daycare schedule! Also.. the pickup/drop off schedule is one of a kind in the bay area, and SO convenient to work around work schedules! One additional note to add to my review of their high quality, loving, clean, and SAFE care of dogs, is that you never know what special gems the staff and owners will surprise and delight you with... whether it's neat swag, special holiday-themed photo-ops, or action videos from daily play... Wiggling Tails provides the utmost care AND some really adorable and thoughtful added bonuses.

We wanted to find a consistent walker that could also do some training to reinforce good doggy behaviors. I booked a consultation with Jose and was impressed by his extensive experience/training in dog behavior/handling. Jose has been walking my dog on a weekly basis for about a month now. By the time I get home from work, I can trust that Sammie had a fantastic day of long runs and fun socializing with other dogs. Recently, our dog sitter wasn't able to take my dog in last minute, but Jose saved the day! Luckily he was available to watch her for a few days. Boarding can be traumatic sometimes esp. when it's a strange new place, but Sammie was completely at ease with Jose. He sent pictures daily and dropped off a very happy dog :) Jose is also very responsive and provides multiple payment options. I found it incredibly easy to get started with him!
