I cannot say enough good things about James Hamm and Lone Star Dog Training. From the very…read morebeginning, I could tell how much James loves what he does and how deeply he cares for the dogs in his program. My dog Watson just completed his training, and the difference is incredible. He's more focused, well-mannered, and confident -- even on our very first walk after coming home, I could see the progress. What I appreciate most is that Watson wasn't just taught commands, he was exposed to so many situations and experiences that will help him handle the real world with calmness and confidence. I am so thankful I chose Lone Star Dog Training. Unlike franchise programs where trainers often come and go, here Watson had consistent, dedicated training with the same people every day. That made all the difference. I know he was in the best care, and I feel supported moving forward in keeping up with what he's learned. If you're considering training for your dog, I can't recommend Lone Star Dog Training enough. Watson and I are both better for it!

My dog, Harvey and I had been working with a trainer weekly, however we weren't getting the…read moreexpertise Harvey and our family required. Harvey was starting to have guarding and reactivity issues, so we had to step-up the training. Julie at New Vistas was recommended by a friend, so we called her up for help. After discussing his issues, she provided a very thorough consultation and we opted to move forward with the month-long 'Board and Train' immersive. While we had to wait to get Harvey in, the wait was WELL WORTH IT! The training she provided for Harvey (and us each week) was invaluable. She spent many hours training him at New Vistas, and in various locations engaging with different people to work on his reactivity challenges. While training him, she also equipped us with techniques to better manage him. Julie's training style, professionalism and admiration of dogs is what really sets her apart. We trust her wholeheartedly with our dog, and couldn't recommend her training services more. Thank you Julie!!

I have worked extensively with Julie with multiple dogs. The first, Jinx, was an older rescue dog…read morewe got for my elderly father-in-law. The dog was afraid of everything. She was also a runner and escaped every chance she got. Within a few sessions this dog had totally changed. She's bright, energetic and happy. And we can let her off leash and not worry about her bolting from us. However, more personal to me are my 4 rescue dogs. Over the summer I added a 4th dog, Tiffany, and that totally changed the dynamic of my household. After a few sessions with the group as a whole Tiffany spent the month of December boarded with Julie. This was the game changer. We honestly didn't know if Tiffany would make it past day 1 because she was so attached to me. After her daily sessions with Julie she was a new dog. She's confident to be alone, plays well with the other dogs and is the sweetest thing ever. I truly believe Julie made this happen for us and I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for training for their dogs from potty training, walking loosely on leash, stay commands, come, fearfulness, you name it and she does it. You won't be disappointed!!! And your dogs will be so much happier after working with her.

I had been told of Sit Means Sit from a co-worker years before contacting them. What brought me to them was that I was adding a puppy to my pack and wanted my 8 yr old and 2 yr old bulldogs to properly accept the American bully puppy and work on some of their bad habits to have more rounded family dogs. I started my 2 yr old Bulldog with their 15-day boarding package with Robin. Robin was wonderful with his training and communication of his progress in messages, calls, pictures, and videos. He was a completely different dog when he came back. My puppy started with their 6-week puppy class with trainer Kabri. This class was wonderful as a good foundation to start her off on a good obedient foot. I was suppose to do private lesson with my older Bulldog but her health declined too rapidly that between discussions of my concerns for her health with Robin, we decided to transfer those lesson to the puppy. That was one of the best choices I have made! We have continued our training and was able to get our puppy to become a certified Therapy dog a month after she turned 1! The strides my dogs have made and heads they turn with their obedience is beyond my belief! Since my initial training I have added a 2 yr old American Bully who after a few short months of training was also able to success become a therapy dog. I will be getting a Rottweiler puppy in the near future who will become another Sit Means Sit alumni. Sit Means Sit has been a life changer for not just my dogs but myself as well! Their training has given me the confidence and ability to push myself more to challenge my dogs with other activities such as conformation and agility and obedience competitions.

My dog Panda had extreme reactivity to anything that moved. We started seeing signs of a problem…read morewhen he was about 4 months old. At 5 months, he ran to and bit our sweet and understanding neighbor with no provocation. We realized that we had a serious problem developing. Over the course of the next 7 months, we went through several pure positive trainers and training methods. This works for many dogs, but for Panda's extreme anxiety, it did not. He continued to escalate and when he turned 1, I broke down in tears as I was losing this boy by degrees. We went through several trainers, hundreds of training hours (with trainers and personally), and thousands of dollars trying to help him. It was so bad, I even considered having his teeth removed (I know, crazy). Almost every trainer at that point had said we either needed to put him down or that "he is just a dog that needs to be locked up when people are around and kept at home away from the public." Thats like going to an Oncologist and having them say "Well you have cancer, so go home as there is nothing we can do". DeepWater has changed our lives. Panda leads a full life. We can run off leash, we can enter crowded areas, we can pass playgrounds and dog parks without issue. We love the weekly group outings. It gives Panda a chance to challenge his skills and gives me the security of having experts on hand for advice. Plus its just nice to get together with like minded people :) I advocate for these trainers fiercely because they saved our beloved dog and gave us the training and tools to share a wonderful full life with Panda. Without them, we were in unbelievable despair. Many dogs like Panda are put down or relinquished to shelters with no positive future in sight. It simply does not have to be. If you have a troubled dog, you need to contact these trainers immediately. It will be the best decision imaginable.

She also came to us thinking other dogs were food not friends (she needs to hear the sharks in finding Nemo again apparently.) After nearly 4 weeks of board and train, Cammie is learning to peacefully (and obediently) coexist with the littles. I am so proud of my pup and in awe of Marissa and Nina for the profound difference in Cammie's confidence and ability to follow direction. She is so happy with her new found calm state that all I can say is that I wish I had dropped her off sooner!! They come to you to pick up your pup and provide progress reports along the way. They are truly dog whisperers so if you have any training needs, they are the ones to call!

Daniela is the owner and I don't think she…read moremonitors this Yelp page but I since many people look to Yelp to find services, I had to make sure I put something on here as well! I had so much trouble finding a sitter, I contacted two other places and one NEVER returned my call and the other couldn't come on to Fort Hood...luckily, however, the 2nd person I contact recommended me to Daniela. First of all, the website for EaseMyMind is fantastic. It has a customer portal that you can create an account on and enter all the details about your furbabies and it has online scheduling so you can easily schedule and manage everything right from there. But, on top of that, Daniela has no issue communicating via text on top of that. I scheduled my free meet & greet with and she stayed for I think about an hour getting to know my pups, seeing where they sleep, where all of their food and things are, how they react to strangers and what all of their little quirks are.She brought all the paperwork with her and explained everything to me and told me I could text her whenever I needed to with questions or concerns. After everything was officially scheduled and I dropped off my key to her, the payment process was super easy too as she has an online payment system that you can use. I also love that there is only one fee for the visit and no surcharge for having multiple pets in one household (we have 3 dogs so that could be pricey!). On the day of my day trip out of town, I text Daniela to let her know when we actually left so she could make sure the first sitter visit wasn't too early or too late. A few hours later I received a pet journal notification in my e-mail with an entry from the pet sitter telling me what was done on the visit and how the dogs were doing as well as pictures of all of them. It was super easy to view everything from my phone and it was reassuring that all my dogs were happy and that there were no complications. Later on in the day, I logged in to my account and realized I made a mistake on some of the notes I left for the sitter. On my account, I asked the sitter to feed them dinner at the 2nd visit but on a note I left on their food I said to feed at the last visit. Luckily I caught that mistake at the same time as the sitter and they were able to get the correct information from me so the pups could be fed at the correct time. What made it so easy is that Daniela was easily available via text so we could get eveything sorted out quickly. For the rest of the day I got my updates and when I go home that night my furbabies seemed much less stressed over me being gone for 12 hours+ hours and I came home to find that my sitter had even washed their food bowls, which was so nice! :) Needless to say, I'll continue to use EaseMyMind in the future.

Both my dogs have never been kenneled, and one is a rescue who had separation anxiety issues when I adopted her a year ago. These issues have greatly reduced over time, but I was still worried about using a kennel or leaving her for more than 6 hours at a time. EaseMyMind was very thorough in their intake interview and I greatly appreciated the text updates three times a day. I think the photos, QR codes, and written logs give clients piece of mind while they are away. I am very happy with how my dogs were cared for while I was on vacation and hope to use them in the future! I used a doggie daycare service with sad results, so I am very happy to have found a way to keep my dogs at home in a safe and familiar environment.
