We hired Don as a trainer for our very cute but very fear-aggressive bulldog rescue. Lulu had been…read morethrough two homes before ours, and she came to us with some issues. She needed someone who would be patient with her and who wouldn't give up on her, and Don was just that guy.  Over seven training sessions, Don worked with us to introduce Lulu to new people and new environments, making up for some of the socialization that she had missed out on as a puppy. He helped us with obedience work, and taught us tricks for keeping her in control when on walks. Don was so dedicated to her, and it was clear that he genuinely cared for her and wanted to help her be the best dog she could be. We liked Don so much that we also hired him for walks and boarding! Lulu always came back happy, and it was clear she enjoyed staying with Don and his wife Maria.  Thanks so much for everything, Don!!

The website was easy to navigate, pricing was reasonable and clear, and we were offered a discount for being a first time customer. Highly recommend Pawfect Day!

Art of k9 I can not…read moresay enough good things about Angelo and Art of K9. When we found him we were in a desperate situation. Our dog was totally out of control and having recently but our baby, we didn't know what to do. Angelo took our dog within a week and a half of contacting him and helped guide us along the way until we were able to drop him off. We committed our dog to the 8 week program, unsure of what to expect but hoping for the best. We knew this was a last resort. It's now been about 6 months since we have picked our dog up from the program and I can confidently say that it was the best decision we could have made for our family. Not only is he more controlled, he is actually a joy to be around and have around our child. He listens to commands and we find ourselves very rarely needing to correct bad behavior as it doesn't really happen. We went from having a dog who would never come when called, bark uncontrollably, destroy toys and furniture, to a dog who immediately goes to place on a cot when someone knocks on the door (without being prompted) and lets out a few alert barks and stops once i say enough. We no longer have to worry about aggression with our child. He is great about listening when we get him away from her and often will walk away from her on his own when before he would growl. Additionally Angelo has checked in to see how our dog is doing, if any issues have come up, and whenever he needs a training refresh we have been able to bring him back. We will be sending all future dogs to Angelo for training

Angelo saved our dog's life -- and I mean that in the most literal sense possible…read more Oliver is a rescue who had been surrendered by two families before us. We took him in, loved him, and still found ourselves in crisis -- biting, aggression, resource guarding. We were scared of our dog and desperate for help. Oliver was our fifth dog and as a family we were seasoned users of positive reinforcement as the primary training method. We turned to Angelo at Art of K9 and made the decision to board Oliver for 8 weeks. He took on Oliver after a thorough consultation. Angelo worked through Oliver's aggression and resource guarding using the e-collar and other training tools. These methods gave us the ability to communicate with and control our dog in a way positive reinforcement couldn't. The transformation is hard to put into words. Oliver is now relaxed, cuddly, and genuinely at peace. He still has his moments -- but now we have the tools to handle them. This has changed everything. If you have a dog with serious aggression or resource guarding and you're at your breaking point, I highly recommend Angelo. He didn't just train Oliver -- he saved his life and we are so thankful.

Jen has been walking and taking care of our two pups for over three years. We have a young,…read moreenergetic and (sometimes) unruly black lab as well as an elderly, deaf cattle dog. Both dogs are cared for, walked and given the exact attention they need. There are few people I trust with our elderly pup, but Jen is definitely one of them.

I highly recommend Jen - there's no one else we trust more with our furry family members.
