I could tell she was very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate towards dogs. I set up an appointment with Christina and invited her out to my house. I got some background on her and had no concerns about bringing a person I've only chatted with on the Internet into my home. She was great with my puppy and worked with us on some training needs. She followed up with us and provided information on training aides. Most importantly, I want to stress that she's a dog lover and I have complete faith in her with my dog.

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!

We were completely amazed with the progress he made during his stay; all of his habits we'd hope to break and the new ones we hoped he'd gain (jumping up on visitors, begging, off-leash training, walking, fetch, recall, sit, stay, lay down, go to your bed, and so many more) far exceeded our expectations. She not only did an amazing job with his training but also including him as her family, and introducing him to several different environments that we never expected. She introduced him to children, strangers, dogs, and cats. I can't speak highly enough of the training Diezel received during his stay with Katie and her family. We will always hold our dogs to this standard now and will definitely be using Katie for our future pups. My husband and I couldn't ask for a better dog, thanks to Katie and her ability to bring out the best in him.

Penelope got to interact with other puppies and people and got the socialization that's so important as a puppy. While Penelope thought she was just playing she was actually learning at the same time - sit, down, leave it, walk on loose lead, stay, and even learned about not jumping on people. All the dog owners reinforce training even when the puppies are on off leash play time. Katie's classes are a very relaxed learning environment with Katie's extended knowledge to help with problem issues. I can not recommend these puppy classes any higher for anyone with a new puppy.

What we loved the most was the off leash socialization portion of class and positive reinforcement training. It really taught our shy pup how to play with other dogs and really boosted his confidence. I am so glad we chose Karma dog training for our training needs! We loved our experience so much that we decided to use Karma for private in home training with Taira for our second rescue puppy Kai! Taira is an amazing trainer and is helping our puppy with socialization, trusting people, and basic obedience. She is extremely patient and knowledgeable! His progress has been phenomenal thanks to Taira! I would highly recommend Karma dog training for all of the fur babies out there!5 plus stars!!

We went to the park with my daughters new Corgi pup for an extreme sniff a walk. Willa did such a great job meeting the new pup and pack walking with this sweet puppy yapping in her face asking if she wants to play!! We finished our day going to Hat Creek and having lunch on the patio. Being on the patio made Willa Bee a bit nervous with all the kid and environmental sounds. It was difficult for her to "leave it" with all the food crumbs on the floor. This outing certainly showed me areas that we need to work on. None of this would be possible without Copilot Academy/Ashley three months ago. Thank you so much! We've come a long way baby!!! But, we still have a ways to go! We will get there!

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.

This review is for doggy day school. I started taking my dog, Tucker, to Dog School Austin a few…read moreweeks ago. Tucker is a very high energy dog, and no matter how many walks/runs/days sprinting circles in our yard he experiences, he still wants more. We wanted to find a place that would mentally and physically engage Tucker without leaving him feeling anxious or overwhelmed. Dog School Austin has done that and more! He loves springing up the front stairs and waiting patiently at the gate. His tail doesn't stop wagging, and he's happy and relaxed when we pick him up. The only thing that would improve our experience would be if a few pictures of Tucker appeared on Dog School's facebook page. I know, I'm totally "that" person who likes to see pictures of my dogs online. Whatevs, haters can hate. We love Dog School Austin!

Super thorough and we felt really cared for and listened to. We needed a session asap, and as Rachel was all booked up for the week, we made an appointment for their other trainer Trish to come by for our hour-long training session at our apartment. (My evaluation was on a Saturday afternoon, and Trish was at our apartment on Monday--talk about a quick turnaround.) Trish was super friendly and got right down to business and asked us what we needed help with. Our big thing was crate training for our puppy, and so she helped us teach him how to start loving the big, scary thing. I couldn't believe how fast he was learning with her, and it was so fun to see him enjoying himself doing things I though it would take him forever to do. We went over a bunch more, and Trish even stayed a few minutes late to be sure all of my questions were answered. We talked about crate training, biting our hands while we played, safe ways to play tug, leash walking, how to help our pup not freak out when we leave the apartment--so much for just an hour! She even left us with a whole page of handwritten instructions for what we had learned. Overall, I was just so happy with everyone at Dog School. Super attentive, really responsive when setting up and appointment, etc., amazing with my dog, and overall they just really seemed to love what they do. Not to mention their training sessions are really reasonably priced. I am so glad we made an appointment, and I'm definitely going to schedule another in a few weeks for some more tips.
