There aren't enough words to describe how valuable our time with Jen has been. She has this energy…read moreabout her, even the grumpiest of dogs will take to her in the blink of an eye! We rescued a dog from Asia who had little to no manners and, with Jen's guidance, he just blossomed. She is patient, energetic, and has such a great understanding of animal behavior, as well as training. With Jen, his leash anxiety has gotten so much better, he is a wiz at his basic commands and is all around more calm and confident. Jen has also become one of his favorite humans and he "sings" at the top of his lungs whenever he sees her. I don't know who's learned more from Jen, me or my dog! She taught us the proper way to give commands, how and when to praise him, how to correct him. Walking him is so much more enjoyable now that we know how to work on his anxiety. We are no longer in NY, so we all miss having her work with us so much.

We recently rescued a two year old dog and we're looking to teach them some basic manners and cues…read more Jen has been awesome from the start! We started with a 20 minute consultation over the phone where she walked through her training process and the specific areas she could help us. Jen meets us in our home for sessions which have been structured specifically for our dog's needs. Every area we've worked on (leash walking, sit, stay, leave it...) we've seen major improvements and she has also helped boost our confidence as dog owners. She's always providing helpful tips and insights. After every sessions she sends us detailed recaps so that we can practice on our own! Highly recommend her services and she's a pleasure to work with. Plus, she may just be our dog's favorite person on the planet!

I cannot express how grateful I am to Lauren Tapp of CCA! Over the last couple of months, she has…read morehelped my Maltese, Tessa, with separation anxiety. Through well-planned sessions, Lauren has taught me how to successfully work with my puppy. In our eight weeks, she has been readily available to help answer my questions and guide me in Tessa's training. She's been an awesome teacher and cheerleader and has been at my side with helpful suggestions when I've needed her most. It will be a few months yet before I can leave Tessa for several hours (I can now leave for an hour!--major progress!), but I have faith in the process and absolutely know it will happen. Thank you, Lauren, for everything.--Without you, Tessa and I wouldn't have such a bright future! Marilee W

Calm Canine Academy is hands-down the best training experience I've had with my pup! Not exactly a…read morepandemic pup, but we got our baby in the fall before Covid struck. We tried a local in-person puppy class but our dog was too nervous to be around other dogs and then COVID sit down the training options. I found CCA from following one of their famous clients Dog With Sign and figured I would try a virtual training class. Boy was I surprised! Not only were Karishma, Gemma, and Ingrid knowledgeable trainers, they also have a few differentiators: 1. First and foremost the virtual training method worked really well for my nervous pup. She didn't have to be around other dogs and smells and trainers to have a quality experience. 2. CCA was virtual before virtual was cool! They are masters of the format, running classes that seamlessly shift presentation mode to "god mode" offering observation coaching and teaching easily. 3. The trainer in your pocket support between classes was awesome for holding You accountable and troubleshooting between sessions. 4. I've done three sessions and each one has been more wonderfully diverse than the last!! It's a treat find a trainer and community that will use your correct pronouns and create an incredibly inclusive community. We love CCA and look to them as leaders in the compassionate and consensual dog training space!

As first-time dog owners, navigating puppy training felt overwhelming at first. We actually…read moreconsulted with several other trainers before finding Dani, but no one even came close. Dani's training methods align perfectly with our gentle values, and the results speak for themselves. She was incredibly patient not just with our puppy, but with me as well as I learned the ropes! Our dog absolutely LOVES her--her excitement whenever she sees Dani for a session is incredible to watch. Under Dani's guidance, our puppy has become so well-behaved, mastering great leash walking manners and effortlessly handling things that used to feel intimidating, like nail trimming, teeth brushing, and getting into her travel carrier. Our puppy also recently completed a 2+ week board & train with Dani at her beach house. She came home wonderfully trained, noticeably calmer, and so well-adjusted. We are beyond grateful for Dani's expertise, patience, and genuine care. If you are looking for a trainer who uses positive, gentle methods and gets amazing results, look no further than Dani!

Working with Urban K-9 has been life changing for me! Lulu was absolutely incredible in helping us…read morewith Charlie's separation anxiety. From day one, she was straightforward, honest, and clear about what we needed to work on, which I truly appreciated. She didn't sugarcoat things, and she was always patient and supportive throughout the entire process. Her knowledge and expertise were obvious in every session. She explained the "why" behind everything we were doing, which gave me so much confidence and clarity. Thanks to Lulu's guidance, Charlie has made huge progress, and I feel so much more equipped to help her continue to gain confidence. If you're dealing with separation anxiety (or any training challenges), I can't recommend Lulu enough. She's the best!

I truly did my best to adhere to her many strict rules as a paying client. All I expected in return…read morewas professionalism, which unfortunately I did not receive. After I paid in full, I was contacted in a belittling and condescending tone no greeting, just "didn't I tell you." I decided not to board my bunny with her after that interaction. You would think I hadn't paid, based on how I was spoken to, but I had paid in full. Professionalism and basic customer service are the simplest things a business can offer, and they make all the difference in how clients feel. It's not always what you say, but how you say it. That's all. God bless. Adding on since she responded: I'm honestly shocked by this owners response. None of what she's claiming about me threatening her or mentioning ICE ever happened and the fact that she would post something so inflammatory publicly says a lot about her professionalism. I paid in full and simply expected clear communication and respect, which I did not receive. The moment I was spoken to in a condescending tone, I decided not to move forward and that's it. Anyone reading can see that I've kept my review factual and respectful. I have the messages, emails, and payment receipts to back up everything stated. I wish her well, but this is exactly why I chose not to entrust my pet to her care.
