    We sent our five year old American Eskimo for a week of Mark's training…read more Before Dognnpooch our dog barked out of control at every sound outside our door. He barked for a full minute whenever we'd have visitors. He would go ballistic on our neighbor and even nipped her once. While on leash he would unpredictably lunge aggressively at other dogs. Sometimes he would listen when we called him inside, but only when it felt convenient to him. After just one week with Mark he barely barks when even the UPS guy delivers packages. He quiets immediately when we tell him to. All I have to say is "leave it" and whatever he was paying attention to he now ignores. He doesn't react to other dogs while on leash. When off leash he stays right with me (even when he REALLY wants to chase a cat). Now I can take him everywhere that I had hesitated to before. Crowded beaches, busy tight streets, places where dogs are off leash: no problem! Our dog is now a source of joy rather than a source of stress and anxiety. We are two months post training and our dog only seems to improve. So grateful for Mark! He gave us the dog we always wanted. Just wish we hired him four years earlier!

Her prey drive is off the charts and was unmanageable on walks - to the point of being dangerous for both her and me. I contacted Mark to work with us to manage her prey drive, even with my initial reluctance to use an e-collar. We discussed his methods at length and he let me experience the e-collar for myself. After a week of working with Mark, I now have new capabilities to walk and go on adventures with my dog safety - and we can enjoy ourselves. Now that Mark has worked with her, the rest is up to me to maintain what she has learned. This ended up being a successful way to go, given her challenges. And I'm grateful. One thing that impressed me right away about Mark is that he took the first day with my dog to orient her to her new environment and spent time bonding with her. Each day of her training, he sent videos of where he took her, what training he was engaged in with her and how she was doing - multiple times a day, keeping me informed. Any questions I had, he responded to immediately. Finally, I was given training on the techniques and tools so I am able to maintain and continue her training. She has responded very well to Mark and his training process! In fact, I think she fell in love with him :-) I have no hesitations to continue working with Mark if any further support is needed.

    I sit here on my couch after doing my own morning training session with both dogs and I am in…read moretears. I cannot begin to explain the amount of relief from anxiety training my dogs with Ricky has brought me. No amount of therapy could touch how I felt previously. I have learned patience, clear communication (with my dogs), and appreciation of the minds ability to change after years and years of ingrained unwanted behaviors. Ricky does not sell a one size fits all package - each of my dogs are VERY different, and while the fundamental approaches and concepts in training are the same - the method and timing in which we applied and reinforced these were vastly different. Ricky is able to connect with two leggers and four leggers alike - he gives clear feedback to dogs and human and uses metaphors that we humans understand (driving the speed limit and getting speeding tickets haha) on how the concepts of his approach effects dog behavior. I couldn't be happier. I am humble and I know I need to continue management (and one of my dogs I am holding to higher standard so we are going to continue our own sessions based on what I have learned) but my dogs are completely different. I'm getting complimented by family, friends, and people on walks - impressed with how well behaved my dogs are. I smile and tell them "thank you it's lots of continued hard work" and move along. This morning in particular we walked during trash pick up, had lots of people distractions, and both dogs stayed heeled and attentive to me on their separate walks. Do not hesitate to consider Ricky for your training needs. Also, if you feel alone with your dogs behavior - please know you are anything but alone. The fact you are looking at reviews for dog trainers is a clear indicator that you want the best for your dog and intend to give them them best. :)

    We adopted our dog Tala after she was fostered and trained by Brent at Ace Dog Training, and we…read moretruly cannot express how grateful we are for the incredible transformation he made possible. When Brent found Tala, she was in a heartbreaking situation--essentially feral and abandoned by the side of a highway, just days away from being euthanized. Thanks to Brent's dedication and expertise, she not only got a second chance at life, but she became the most well-behaved and gentle dog we've ever met. Tala is a Husky-Samoyed mix, and from the moment we brought her home, it was clear she had been given an amazing foundation. She walks like a dream--both on and off leash--has zero reactivity, and greets every person and animal she encounters with calm friendliness. She's completely potty and crate trained, follows commands effortlessly, and doesn't jump or vocalize unnecessarily. She's also wonderfully affectionate and incredibly food motivated, which makes bonding with her a joy. What amazes us most is how Brent managed to shape her behavior so thoughtfully without dulling her spirit. Tala still has all the bright, clever, loving traits that make her such a unique and special companion. She's seamlessly become part of our family, and we truly can't imagine life without her. Brent is nothing short of a miracle worker, and we wholeheartedly recommend Ace Dog Training to anyone looking to adopt or train a dog with kindness, skill, and heart. Thank you, Brent, for giving Tala--and us--such a beautiful new beginning.

He was not my dog originally and I was having a hard time managing him. It was so hard to leave him but, such a good decision. It made a huge difference in my relationship with him. I received daily pictures and a video of his training. He was responsive when I texted for updates. After three weeks, I picked him up. Brent showed me how to work with him. I have been consistent with the training and two years later, he is still easy to work with and I bring him everywhere with me. This was such a great experience. Thank you again!

    We have an older Boston Terrier "Bruce" that we always felt was skittish around other dogs; thus we…read morealways found it challenging boarding him solo. After a Rover appointment canceled our Thanksgiving arrangements, we contacted Ruff Ranch in desperation. Ruff Ranch is located off the 154 just before Los Olivos. It's in a beautiful, ranch setting. While we needed to have a free trial stay first, we took half the day off on a Friday, dropped Bruce off and had a nice lunch in Solvang. The facilities are spacious and perfectly clean with zero odor. All the personnel were happy and friendly, as were the dogs. We were skeptical at first when they said they would put Bruce in a group with older, mellower dogs. When we returned, they said he did great and even made some friends. My wife and I were both shocked and pleased. Ruff Ranch was on our way to a Northern California Thanksgiving stay. He boarded for 3 nights and we included the pre-pickup bath. At pickup, he was happy, squeaky clean, nails trimmed with zero issues reported. We are thankful and relieved to have a place to board Bruce in the future with people that really know and love dogs - and it showed in our dog's demeanor at pickup. They also offer obedience training, which I believe is how they can so quickly tailor an optimal setting and experience for your dog, and get them adjusted and safe. Ruff Ranch even offers a shuttle pickup service from SB. We are very relieved that we have a reliable and comfortable boarding solution for our dog in the future; I can't recommend The Ruff Ranch enough.

The Ruff Ranch made a day of doggie daycare for out-of-towners so easy. We did have to fill out the forms online and book our day, but it was easy. When our pup arrived, they seemed so excited to have him and he was good and tired when we picked him up. We felt they took great care of our dog and we will be booking them again when we visit this area!

    We have used this location twice now and wouldn't consider going anywhere else in the event of an…read moreemergency! To detail our experiences: 1. We were out of town and our cat was breathing abnormally. Our pet sitter brought him in and the team promptly identified the issue, treated him, and patiently explained every detail of the process to us to make us feel as comfortable as possible with them treating our baby without being there. We were able to pay remotely and got all of our questions answered right away. They made the situation as easy as they possibly could! 2. Last night, we had a very scary experience with our dog. We brought him in right away, and the team gathered information from us efficiently to take care of him as quickly as possible. He was very uncomfortable due to the nature of his illness, and the employees clearly made his comfort and care their utmost priority. While caring for him, employees even offered refreshments and a blanket for us, since it was the middle of the night, to try to keep us comfortable. The people at this location took their time assessing him and discussed the case with us at length to ensure we were all on the same page before following through on the plan of care. Vets, vet techs, and front desk personnel all worked in unison to make the difficult situation a little more bearable. Two vets ended up assessing our dog in an abundance of caution to ensure that the right decisions were being made for him and our family. I really truly appreciate medical professionals who work effectively and cohesively to ensure the highest quality of treatment is provided. Both vets spoke with us individually and patiently explained everything to us. In fact, the night shift vet even offered me gloves and invited me to feel a piece of concerning tissue to ensure my complete understanding. While this may not work for everyone, the vet knew that I myself am a medical professional and it was so kind of her to offer this to me as part of my education and understanding of the situation. I really appreciated this opportunity, as it will help me to understand his baseline and continue to reassess the problematic area as we treat. To me, this attention to detail and empathy from the night shift veterinarian went above and beyond what I would have expected from anyone at approximately 2am. Today, the day shift veterinarian also went above and beyond. The treatment process for our dog is going to be extensive, which understandably comes with a price tag. She took the time to research the cheapest options for us to fill our prescriptions (Chewy vs. pharmacy, etc). Seriously, WOW! That was so kind of her to do for us as we navigate this difficult time for our family. Since our dog requires upwards of 7+ medications in the near future, this was so helpful and really helped to set us up for success. Our dog will be undergoing treatment for 20+ weeks, and the veterinarian on shift took additional steps and time out of her day to make this more financially doable for us. To summarize, we are truly so grateful for the compassion and quality of care that a cat and a dog of ours received at this location. We would 100% recommend them. I wish I could do more for all the people who took care of both Weasley and Haze for us. They are amazing people and we are immensely grateful! Thank you all!!!

The team at Pets Hospital went to work with their intensive care, treatment and turn the course for our puppy. She was in intensive care for four days and is now home with us recovering. The team was incredible. Every member was friendly and knew exactly what to do in their job. It could not have been done without the teamwork provided amongst the doctors aids and administrator component of the clinic. They worked a miracle and my wife and I and the rest of my family are so pleased with their care. I could not recommend them more highly and will refer anybody to take their pet to this facility.
