Karma Dog Training found us exactly what we were looking for in a 100% positive reinforcement and science-based dog training. I received a message from the owner/founder of the company, Jeffrey, the day I reached out and we were on a phone call a few hours later discussing training options for our puppy. Jeffrey considered the best fit for us and selected the absolute best trainer that was both a skills and personality match for us and our labradoodle puppy. We have had just two training sessions thus far and they both have been game-changers. My wife and I feel relief that we are setting up our pup (and us) for an amazing life together with our fur baby and her big brother. I can't say enough about the integrity and communicativeness with the business of Karma Dog Training and the intentionality and skill of the Karma Dog trainer, Erik. We are so grateful and would highly recommend you reach out to Karma dog for all of your dog training needs. read more

I cannot express enough gratitude for Suzi and the incredible work she has done as a trainer for my baby Bagheera, my good girl and finally a service dog . From day one, Suzi demonstrated not only deep expertise and professionalism but also an extraordinary level of patience, compassion, and dedication. She took the time to understand my specific needs and tailored the training to ensure my dog developed the skills and behavior essential for reliable service and support. Her methods are positive, effective, and grounded in trust and mutual respect -- and the results have been life-changing. Thanks to Suzi, my service dog is now confident, focused, and exceptionally well-behaved in public and at home. Suzi's training has given me greater independence and peace of mind, and for that, I am truly grateful. If you're looking for a trainer who goes above and beyond and truly cares about both the dog and the person they're serving, I wholeheartedly recommend Suzi. read more

Karma dog training, With the WONDERFUL Corrina Babiash! We had the very best training for our 4 month old Louie! She taught him the very important basics in just 10 days at her house for board and care. She also taught him to crate train for us, All with gentle Loving care and kind words and hand commands. When she dropped Louie off he was a completely perfect little puppy. She taught me how to do the commands and made video's for me to refer to so I could continue his training at home with Louie. My family was amazed at the short amount of time, that Louie was trained to be an obedient great sweet puppy!! We are very Thankful for Corrina Babiash- Clark. She will make a dream puppy-Dog for you! I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family! Thank you Corrinna for the loving care and kindness you gave Louie. Leslie M. read more

My 4 month old Golden Doodle did a 2 week board and train program with Corrina and I cannot say how incredible Corrina was with both of us. From the consultation call to the actual boarding she didn't just treat my pup like her own, but she checked in with me at each step to make sure I felt confident in continuing the training when my pup came home. I could not have seen this much progress without her. If you are looking for someone who actively cares about the success of you and your pup, Corrina is the best! read more

After extensive research on dog trainers and companies, we decided to go with Dog Karma and we are so extremely happy we did!! From the beginning, the communication and customer service was excellent. Corrina Babiash-Clark is the training instructor we were set up with and let me just tell you, she is amazing to say the least! Any anxieties that I had with our dog being in someone else's care were quickly put at ease with Corrina and Dog Karma. It is Incredibly obvious that they have a great love for dogs and what they do. Corrina deserves more than just 5 stars, she is just that good! Her training methods are very effective all while showing our (large)10 month old pup love and gentleness. We couldn't have asked for a better trainer! We selected the board and train at Corrina's home. We were given the option to have Corrina pick up our dog at our house (which was really nice of her since it's easily a 50 minute drive) or take him to her. We took him to her and drop-off went very smoothly. We received daily updates and videos of him and his progress. She even gave him treats of her own that he really liked and introduced him to new toys that keep him thinking and content. At the end of his training she brought him home to us and when she walked him in the gate, I was in awe at how well behaved and trained he was, it was like a miracle! I stared in amazement as he listened and obeyed her every command. Corrina has since kept in touch and followed up with his progre I cannot express enough, how happy we are with Corrina and her expertise training and how well she cared for our dog! We are forever grateful. Thank you Corrina from the bottom of our hearts! And Zeus says thank you too! read more

After searching & reading about different training programs for dogs I came across Karma Dog Training. Once I read about their process I knew I had to inquire. Shortly after I received a call from Corrina. She explained more about the program & made sure she would be able to help with what I was looking for. She came to our house for a training appointment. She has great tips & techniques & showed us right then & there that our big "puppy" (she still thinks she's a puppy) can be a good dog. We also had our dog Raven stay w/ her while we were out of town for a few days. Not only did Corrina send me pictures & updates she made sure Raven was as comfortable (& spoiled!) as possible. We highly recommend Karma Dog Training & have already referred this program to friends that are looking to adopt a puppy! read more

My 4 month old pup Natti spent 3 weeks boarding and training with Karma and Corrina Babiash. Corrina was extremely helpful with taking her in at such short notice and even offered to pick her up for the boarding, drop her off after the boarding, and take her to her vet appointment to get her puppy shots during her 3 week boarding. She treated my pup like one of her own and I know my pup loves her! She provides progress videos, day to day pictures, and even sent step by step tutorial videos featuring our pup. These videos show what your pup is capable of and goes to show that their training works! Highly recommend this company and Corrina specifically if you want your pup truly taken care of and properly trained! read more

We did the 2 week board and train for our 5 1/2 month old Finn. While we were unsure about leaving him (thinking he might forget us) we ended up having a great experience with Corrina. She sent us videos of training with Finn that we could refer to. we also received videos of him playing with other dogs. Since he has been home it's been a big help having the baseline, along with the ability to call Corrina and ask questions. Thank you Corrina for giving us a great start. read more

Jordan was amazing with our new Sheepadoodle puppy. She communicated beautifully with both our puppy and us. She was able to not only teach her commands and good behavior but helped us to become better owners by showing us what to practice when she wasn't with us. Jordan has a very calm energy, great skill, and loads of patience, which is so important with an energetic puppy. We were very luck to have her as our trainer. read more

During this COVID-19 stay at home/quarantine, I decided to get an 8 week old Maltipoo while I had the opportunity to work from home. My pup showed early signs of intelligence but also some alarming habits, such as extreme screaming/crying and choking himself on a leash being attached to his harness. His screams would reverberate around the whole neighborhood and traumatize me and him. I am talking wild banshee screams! For a while I gave up and we just did walks with his harness on and no leash but I knew that was not sustainable. I was desperate for help so I called Jeff w/ Karma Dogs and initially we decided on Zoom dog training but then I contacted him again desperate about the leash training and he linked me up with trainer Corrina Babiash-Clark. When the pup was 10 weeks, we decided to do 5 days of full board and train and Corrina was nice enough to drive all the way to Fullerton to pick up my pup! During the stay, she sent these advice/show videos demonstrating what se was teaching him and how exactly she was doing it so I could review them later to keep implementing the training. To be frank, my ONLY objective was for him to be leash trained but he came back knowing SO many tricks: rollover, sit, paw, touch, go to your bed, and more. He also was tamer and seemed so happy! I was so impressed with the videos that halfway into it, I actually extended his stay to 7 days and the pup ran out of his food so Corrina supplemented with her own food! Corrina has a couple other dogs that helped socialize Basil and she made sure a variety of people were touching him and playing with him. Socialization right now during quarantine is very difficult so I am so happy I was able to get him socialized right off the bat with Corrina during the critical stage of development. Most importantly, we have ZERO leash issues. I am pretty sure Corrina is a miracle worker and the investment was worth its weight in gold. Now my pup comes to me if I am late to walk him (3 times a day!) with his leash and says "let's go mom!" I highly recommend Karma Dogs and Corrina, they have a positive philosophy when it comes to dog training and they're very clear about how they train and what their method is. I will definitely use Corrina again for refresher training and anytime I go out of town for normal boarding. I trust her! read more

I have a four month old English Bulldog named Gumbo. He's a bit stubborn, but Corrina was amazing! I feel like I have a new puppy. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. She was very flexible and was able to work out a schedule that allowed me to pick him up during the weekend to practice myself. (It also kept me from missing Gumbo so much). He's now more calm and very well behaved. Our training with Corrina is complete, but she still sends texts and emails to check on him and still offers tips and advice. Im very grateful. read more

I'm so glad we did this. I was referred to Karma by a colleague who got her puppy a few months before my wife and I got ours. She told us about how great it was to socialize a young puppy in a controlled environment, while setting the foundations for good behavior. We took our pup (Fergie) to the San Juan Capistrano Puppy Kindergarten classes, and she had a great time. Out trainers Cassie and Olivia were phenomenal. They had great advice for training our puppy, and helped us reinforce all the work we were doing at home, in a new and stimulating environment. I particularly appreciated how aware they were when all the puppies were playing. If any puppy got too excited, and started to misbehave or become aggressive, they were right there to swoop them up and keep playtime fun for everyone. After Fergie graduated from Puppy Kindergarten, we immediately enrolled her in the advanced class with Cassie and Olivia on weekends. I'd highly recommend anyone with a new puppy consider enrolling him or her in the Karma Dog Training program. If you're willing to put in the work, you'll definitely see results. read more

Karma dog training is incredible! We have worked with Alyssa for the Zoom puppy classes and socialization which was very helpful for our young pup and us during quarantine. He learned the basics and more. We also have worked with Corrina for Board & Train. She is fantastic. She worked diligently with our pup to work on the areas we needed most help, she gave honest feedback and provided a great "manual" we can refer to for training for the future. She has excellent communication and goes above and beyond with her training. Highly recommend her and the Karma team! read more

So glad and thankful we found karma dog training. We adopted a German Shepard mix puppy from our local animal shelter in March. Walking him was a challenge as he would pull a lot and lounge at people on bikes and skateboards. And he would get into trash and eat paper. He needed some basic obedience training and leash training. We got paired up with Corrina as our dog trainer and had Banksy do boarding training with her. We just got him back last night and it is night and day difference. She came to pick and dropped him back off. And when she dropped him off she took the time to go over things we need to do with him daily and showed us. She is a miracle worker and you can tell she has a passion and love for dogs. She would send videos of his progress and had great communication during his stay with her. I highly recommend Corrina for anyone that has a puppy or large breed dog that needs some training. read more

Corrina did a fantastic job training our bernedoodle puppy. He no longer drags us on the leash and is far more receptive to commands. What's more, Corrina gave us a lot of helpful guidance to help maintain his obedience and continues to be a great resource. read more

Back story - We were the freaked out owners of a 3 1/2 month old Chihuahua who is 4 pounds of major challenge. We've never owned a dog before so when the potty training started to get worse instead of better and biting became a big issue, we had a case of serious buyers remorse. Before we set out to find Molly a new home, I made a last ditch effort call to Karma and I'm so glad we did. In walks Francine, a breath a fresh air. What I appreciated most about Francine is that she never made us feel like we were ignorant dog owners for not doing the right things. In just over an hour, she share some of the most helpful information along with useful tips and tricks we began to implement right away. It's been just over 24 hours and already we see the difference. We're booking her for another session so that we can continue in the right direction. We now call her the Chi Whisperer. Francine has a true gift...Molly adored her from the moment she walked into our home. We can't thank Francine enough for helping us take back the power that somehow our little Molly seemed to steal from us when we weren't paying attention. There's been a major shift in our home in a positive direction and we attribute that to putting Francine's knowledge into play. Thank you, thank you, thank you Karma Dog. Now we're counting on Molly being a part of our family for a long, long time. read more

Corrina took wonderful care of my favorite little dog lady. She practiced a lot of great skills, worked on recall, and received lots of warmth and love from Corrina. I'm super happy with the training base that was started for my pup and the care that Corrina put in with helping me understand how to meet my dogs training needs. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

I recently adopted a dog from a shelter that did not have the most pleasant past. She has been working with karma dog training for the past two months and is well on her way to becoming a healthy and happy little animal. The trainers are super friendly and really know what they are doing. The class is also full of really sweet dogs and great owners. We couldn't be happier with the progress our little girl has made. read more

I can't imagine a better organization or trainer to work with my sweet fur baby, Freddie! I was impressed by Karma Dog's positive training philosophy and all of their training options. Then when I met Corrina, I was even happier! So many trainers are a little too business-like for my taste, but Corrina is the perfect combination of loving and affectionate (to my dog) and being disciplined. But all with a focus on positive rewards. In fact, Freddie gets so excited when she sees Corrina, she can't control herself! (Which makes me feel a little neglected, but so glad she loves Corrina! I know that's an excellent sign!) And she's improving with each session! Honestly, I wish all pet parents would go to positive, loving, and skilled trainers like Corrina and Karma Dog. read more

Corrina did a great job with our puppy! Super responsive and helpful before, during and after the training!

After spending months to find the perfect rescue to fit our family, it was time to do our research on finding the perfect dog training for our boy Kona. It was important to us to have a well behaved dog both in our home, and when in public through positive reinforcement. During our search, on about week two, we came across Karma Dog training. Sent a couple emails back and forth to figure out what we were looking for, then decided on group lessons held every Saturday given by Olivia and Cassie, and 3 in home personal training sessions for basic obedience given by Cassie. We are on week 3 of the weekend group sessions and have completed our in home basic training sessions, and couldn't be more happier with the results. Kona now knows how to be a well behaved doggie both in the house and in public. Cassie's calm and patient demeanor along with her expertise in canine behavior and positive reinforcement has worked wonders on Kona. He absolutely loves her and at the same time, knows she means business. A perfect combo. I highly recommend Cassie for any and all canine needs. read more

Extremely happy with our experience! Before we sent Noodle to board&train with Corrina she was having accidents inside, cried the whole time she was in her crate, and would never listen to us. After spending just 1 week with Corrina she now enjoys sleeping in her crate, can sit, lay down, leave it, and go to her bed. She's also much better at not pulling on walks! We looked around a lot before choosing a dog trainer and we are so happy we chose Karma. read more

Aimee's puppy kindergarten classes were wonderful. We were also so very lucky to be able to work with Brent Cady in our home for 5 sessions, and to have our puppy Daisy spend 5 nights with him at his home when we went on vacation. She was like a new dog when we got home from that trip, all thanks to Brent. read more
