After our first session we saw immediate improvement. I went from not being able to walk him anywhere we might come across another dog to walking at the dog park by the second session.

I also just really enjoy my time working with her!

A 3 yr. old toy Fox Terrier I'd adopted from our local Palmdale shelter sorely needed basic obedience and leash training. Searching online, I was fortunate to find Smart Dog Training School in Palmdale and discovered that Gonzalo was part of an excellent team that ran a training program I'd used many years earlier in the San Fernando Valley. Boy oh boy, did I luck out!! I visited my furry new friend nearly every week while she was being trained, and it was quite obvious she was progressing very well, AND she was so very comfortable and happy with her temporary boarding home as well as her trainers. Little Gypsy is now back home with us and fully trained. Gonzalo and his team are top notch -- well beyond a five-star rating!!!

Gonzalo is truly great at what he does. I took my four year old husky to him when she had bad…read morehabits and was very misbehaved. I boarded her with him for about two months, and she came back like a completely different dog calm, obedient, and well-behaved. It was honestly the best investment I could've ever made. She's six years old now and still behaves amazingly thanks to the foundation he gave her. Gonzalo is also very flexible and always lets me board her when I'm out of town. Every time she's dropped off, she's well groomed and smells incredible unlike other places I've taken her. I highly recommend him!

I will be getting a semi-final assessment of my Border Collie tomorrow and I guarantee she will have done just enough to communicate with my dog, but nothing to have damaged his spirit. When she arrived to pick up my BC she brought a mob of dogs with her -- we have space, and they just ran everywhere. Not a single dog once winced or showed any signs that they had been in anyway previously "punished" for anything. They were spirited, free and just crazy enough to enjoy themselves.

I was specific of all the areas of concerns with Jay during the evaluation. He recommended four sessions for Jazz. At first I thought no way will this Boxer be corrected with four sessions. To my surprise I quickly learned otherwise. First session Jay addressed the running out the front door when opened. Jazz immediately obeyed Jay and myself. So impressive! Second session we needed Jazz to sit on his bed during breakfast & dinner. While his owner in a wheelchair enjoys his meals. Jay accomplished that in half the session. Third session was walking. Being able to keep Jazz on my side and from growling at other people or dogs. In one session Jay empowered me to lead Jazz. A big task for some of us women who struggle with being pack leaders. Jazz and I have been enjoying some lovely walks. Thank you Jay!!! Fourth session was calling Jazz in from backyard. Jazz did well with Jay. That is something I am sure I will master shortly! If not, I now have a dog expert to reach out to for help. Jazz was so excited to see Jay on a weekly basis. Jay was so loving and it made me realized I was not loving with Jazz. He is not my dog but my clients. However, I have started to love on him. This way he feels he belongs to someone and that he is loved. This poor dog came from the shelter during COVID. I have no idea what life he had before. However, now Jazz is living his best life ever thanks to Tails of Success. I have always felt professional dog trainer have. value. This recent situation has re-enforced their value based on their experience, quick results, and in home training. I highly recommend this experts.

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly and genuinely greeted by the owners, who are absolutely AMAZING people. You can immediately tell they truly care about both the pets and their owners, and that kind of energy is rare.

The shedding? GONE. His coat looks flawless, feels incredibly soft, and he smells SO good. Like... I can't stop hugging him now They went above and beyond in every way possible. The attention to detail, the care, the professionalism everything was top tier.

My dog has never bit anyone. Second of all, at 6:00 someone else came in to get their dog and they said that their appointment was at 2:30. So obviously, they overbook and then they try to come up with some BS excuse as to why it's taking so long. Also, I'm a parent, I understand having kids and having that struggle. But you should not have your 4 children running around your groomer with animals running around, sharp objects, and other hazards. That's a risk to your kids health. And the haircut looks like shit. 10 out of 10: worst groomer I've ever dealt with. Edit: the owner proceeded to attack me through social media after I commented an HONEST review on their Instagram. They also blocked me so that my comments don't show up on their paid ad videos. Such a classy place!

I preferred it that way cause I can concentrate on what to get my cats. At the cashiers the employees I've encountered are super sweet and I haven't had any problems.
