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. Side note: make sure you do your homework daily to reinforce all Jay's teaches your pet. This way you too will be a happy client with a happy pet.

We kept up with training honestly not every day. This weekend I was hiking alone with Racker in the hills above LA. I tripped and fell down a mountain breaking 3 bones. I was unable to climb up the rocks to make it out and had to be rescued by fire fighters and paramedics. They had to hike in and carry me out. All I could think of is how horrible it was going to be because Racker would become reactive and act aggressive in the situation. Instead because of his training he stayed in down the whole time. He barked once when they stabilized my leg and I screamed. After they picked me up he calmly let someone lead him out with me. If you are on the fence about training do it! You never know when an emergency will happen. The guys all praised how well behaved Racker was. I cannot thank Nick and Kassie enough. You really changed our life

Neptune and I went through the Standard Package training and it has been an amazing experience. My only regret is that I didn't start the training sooner. I feel like I have a new confident dog. I take him for walks every day, he's crate trained and he can hang out in the front yard without running away. Nick and Kassandra are great trainers, very well organized and extremely knowledgeable. The studio is always clean and a very comfortable place to bring you dog. I recently got a new puppy and have been able to apply what I learned to him and he is doing great as well. Training is such a great investment into your dog and makes a world of a difference. I recommend Nick and Kassandra at Elevated Canine to everyone with a dog.

Maximus has grown into such a well-behaved, confident pup, and our walks have become something we both truly enjoy. The training gave us lasting results, not just short-term fixes, and that's made all the difference. If you're looking for a place that stands by their work and genuinely invests in your dog's long-term success, this is it. Highly recommend!

Over the summer I met with Jesse and Miguel who worked their magic and transformed my pup from a jumper and biter to a calm companion who now understands the importance of following my lead. The most shocking lesson was that I paid good money to train my pup but it turned out I needed to be trained as well. Jesse talked to me about all the tough stuff I didn't want to hear, but they showed me how to be a real leader. I will definitely be booking my next session to take things to the next level and get my pup to walk next to me without a leash. If you're ready for a change and are willing to do the work I highly recommend Off Leash L9 Training you and your pup will build an amazing bond.

Sherry Davis has made an enormous difference with two of my dogs, both complete opposite…read morepersonalities and histories. I couldn't have done it without her. The first is an alpha pure-bred standard poodle, who has always had a charmed life and her own way. The pup ran us around until Sherry taught me how to be a calm, confident, and firm poodle-mom. Together, we've done amazing work with obedience lessons and going through the steps to become licensed as a Certified Therapy Dog. Sherry has been indispensable for coaching us from bratty puppy to a dignified therapy dog who can be trusted in any hospital or office. Her cafe manners are on point, too! The second dog is a pit/lab mix who we found abandoned at a park. She is strong, but terrified of everything. Sherry has helped my older dad be able to manage this dog, and walk her in the neighborhood without him being knocked over by her strength and fear. Sherry saw the potential in this rescue and has helped us cultivate her good qualities and overcome her bad ones. I highly recommend Sherry for obedience lessons. She works magic in both private and group sessions. The key is just to stick to it and complete the sessions. You'll be impressed how fast your dog becomes likable and well-behaved in public places with Sherry's coaching. She also specializes in helping the elderly manage their dogs so that they aren't unintentionally dangerous to them (getting underfoot, jumping up, pulling them over with a leash, racing for the door, etc.). I'm so glad she's been here to help my family and my pups.

It's pronounced "Sears!"…read more My wife and I found this place a couple of years ago when our veterinarian called us as we were headed out of town for our honeymoon to inform us that our Belgian Malinois was too aggressive to be boarded at their office. They were not wrong - she is a naturally ferocious dog and has a tendency not to get along with people outside of our family but this put us in a hell of a pickle, just hours before our flight was supposed to take off. I searched for "aggressive dog kennels near me" on the Googler, and Sczyr's was the top result. I called and spoke to Mary, and she informed me they had just the spot for my furmissile, and in fact, they often board law enforcement dogs who are also quite mouthy. My wife and I cruised down the 58 and got off at Weedpatch to find this quiet kennel right behind the McDonalds. We were greeted by Mary who led us to their secure kennels where we placed our beloved dingo. We returned a few days later to find her healthy, happy, and ready to go home. We have since returned several times and even bring our little Corgi who does well with the staff and the rest of the dogs. He even got an amazing haircut on our most recent visit for a very reasonable price. Overall, this place has a friendly and professional staff, a clean facility, a talented onsite groomer, and excellent prices. We won't go anywhere else!

The Dog Haus didn't hesitate to step in, giving them a thorough cleaning and beautiful haircuts. Their owners were beyond happy and so grateful for their makeovers. The Dog Haus is the only grooming shop I fully trust, not just for my own pups, but for others as well. It's also the only shop I've ever walked into that actually smells clean! If you closed your eyes, you wouldn't even know dogs were being bathed there. The day before our appointment, they called to confirm. When I arrived with Natasha and Jasper, they took the time to explain exactly how their services worked and asked detailed questions about the haircuts I wanted. To my surprise, they finished quicker than expected, and both dogs came out looking absolutely gorgeous complete with a bandana and a flower. I can't recommend The Dog Haus enough. Thank you so, so much for the care, professionalism, and love you put into what you do!
