We loved our trainer - and I am so sorry I cannot remember her name (she had Yellow hair!). But she was amazing, respectful, and patient with everyone and the dog parents. LOL She was very skittish in the beginning but with confidence and learning and homework we did a lot of great strides to making her feel more comfortable with us training her and being at home. She still will love checking out squirrels but we have been taught on what to do when that happens. We appreciate all you all do, and look forward to checking out more of their classes.

Friendly, professional staff, and clean facilities. Very satisfied with their services.read more

Bela was running the house as our commands were literally falling on deaf ears! Alisa taught us to communicate with Bela using hand signals. She now follows instructions like a champ! I can't recommend Alisa and You Silly Dog enough. Not only is it amazing and informative but Alisa is incredibly well priced! I can't wait to take Bela to her tricks class!

They both are officially potty trained and know their commands! After attending two class sessions, I decided that my new dog, Beau, needed positive reinforcement. He's had two lessons and is excelling very quickly. He may be a very smart poodle; however, Alisa's techniques are great! As a dog lover, I highly recommend both her home classes and studio classes. I can't wait to see what else Beau can learn from You Silly Dog!

Despite me typing up a whole instruction sheet, he insisted on walking through again just to be sure (which is very reassuring). The actual pet sitting was spectacular. The pet sitter who was assigned was Kim. She spent plenty of time with the cats and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. The visit reports they leave are really cute as well. Could not have gone smoother! I'd also like to add that they were available with very short notice (3 other pet sitting companies were unable to handle our request). Also want to add that Stewart (when he came for the home visit) was wearing a mask and gloves to protect against COVID (a welcome sight). Pet owners would should have their minds at ease if they select Love Those Paws. If I go on vacation again (few and far between these days) I would definitely use them again!

We've been using Love Those Paws since 2015 to watch our cockatiels when we go on vacation. It is…read moremuch less expensive than boarding them at the vet and less stressful for the animals. The sitters vary but all are enthusiastic based on the reports they leave. After every visit the sitter leaves a note of when they came and left and what they did. They also usually text us an update and a picture of our birds. We come back to a stack of reports. The sitter stays a while after the food, water, and paper are changed to make sure the birds aren't acting weird, and I hear that some singing goes on. We've never had a problem and have be accommodated at very short notice when we want to go away for the weekend. I highly recommend this company. 1/27/20 Update: Just used them again during a ten day trip to Hawaii. I'm pretty sure our birds are in love with Alex, who came for most oF the visits. Now they are just stuck with us. As always, a great experience and we love being able to travel without any worries.

We worked with Tom to prepare our dog for some major life changes, and the experience was beyond…read morewhat we hoped for. From leash skills to preparing for a new baby, he addressed every concern with patience, expertise, and real results. Our dog had a strong prey drive and would lunge at squirrels, birds--basically anything that moved. Walks were stressful and chaotic. After working with Tom, we now enjoy calmer, controlled walks, and continue to work in high-distraction areas. Obedience was another focus--commands like "come," "place," and especially "down" have become reliable, and working still in challenging situations. Tom really emphasized consistency and practice for best results, which helped a lot! Overall, Tom gave us the tools and confidence we needed to help our dog thrive in a changing household. He clearly loves dogs, but just as importantly, he knows how to teach humans. If you're looking for help with obedience, leash manners, behavioral quirks, or preparing for a baby, Tom is absolutely worth it.

Listen, I'm not sure where to start because there's so much I want to cover regarding OLK9's Day…read moreCamp Program. First things first, Craig [Martin] is a Rockstar trainer. Period. Our very first interaction was great...his energy was wonderful...he did not disappoint! He was very methodical with his approach...explaining every step of the process...very engaging...constant updates of the Boyz progress...videos, photos...wait! The photos that I received were Ahhhhhhh-mazing, I mean impressive...only to learn that he's a photographer as well...but I digress. The Boyz are spoiled and I have no shame in stating this...*smile*. But they needed to learn manners. I have two large and very strong Standard Poodles - Mr. Brown and Max. They're extremely smart, pretty obedient in the house, but a huge challenge on walks...my poor dog walker. I wanted to be able to take them anywhere without the extended conversations of sit, stay, what are you doing? you know better... etc. At any rate, I'd been following OLK9 Maryland for some time online. I knew that training for two dogs was going to be a budget buster. Thankfully, I was able to take advantage of the "Black Friday" or "Cyber Monday" (can't remember which one it was). I cannot say enough about the great experience I had...the Boyz were happy to see Craig each day which was a HUGE relief for me. Yes, additional work/training on my part is required...to me that's a no brainer. As a responsible pet owner, I want to make sure that there is consistency and an expectation that my Boyz are well behaved and well mannered. Which means I have to do the work. Funny, as I was driving home from our final session, I was so tempted to take them on a short walk because I knew it would be enjoyable. But decided to wait until morning... I'm so excited to be able to have an enjoyable walk with these guys... less scolding and more bonding. Well worth the time and financial commitment. Thank you OLK9 Maryland for bringing additional joy to our home... things are definitely more "manageable". I'm really looking forward to our walks, especially since there will be NO more pulling! Can't wait to be able to take them to the "brick and mortar" with me once it's open! "Life Changing K9 Training"

We worked with this training team a few years ago and did learn some helpful things from Craig,…read morewhich we appreciated. However, their training approach relies heavily on e-collar use, and ultimately, it just wasn't the right fit for us or our dog. Our dog did not respond well to the collar, and we became increasingly uncomfortable with using it. For us, it felt inhumane and negatively impacted our dog's trust and willingness to work with us. Honestly, we felt like it set us back rather than moving us forward because she became so unhappy with the collar. We eventually found another trainer whose approach focused more on leash pressure, patience, tone, and building communication and trust. That approach worked much better for our dog, and we were able to rebuild the trust we felt had been lost. I understand that e-collar training works for some dogs and owners, and I'm not saying this approach can't work for others. It simply wasn't right for our dog or our family. I think it's important for owners to know that training methods are not one-size-fits-all, and finding an approach that your dog responds to positively makes all the difference. While we did take away some useful information from our experience, we ultimately needed a different approach to help our dog thrive.

It's better than great, it's spectacular! When we got our Akita, she was really well trained…read more Daisy would go into her crate and play by herself. However, since I teach school, I didn't put her in her crate as often as I should. Needless to say, it was a hectic in the morning. In addition, Daisy was refusing to get into the car. I called Dauntless Dogs and spoke with Angie. She spent quite a bit of time with me on the phone. The suggestions she gave me worked really well. I still required a little more support and scheduled a time for private training. There are not words to describe how grateful I am for the help and time they spent with me. It was expensive. This was without a doubt money well spent. Angie came with Casey. They listened to my concerns and my goals for Daisy and then we all got to work. Angie and Casey are dog whisperers. It took Casey approximately 2 minutes (this is not an exaggeration) to get Daisy in the car. Then he had her jumping in with the command, "load up" and going through to jump out of the car with the command, "out". Daisy believes that every dog is her friend and wants to play with her. Casey taught me how to help Daisy meet new dogs safely. Finally, as I wrote in the beginning, Daisy has become a little resistant to her crate. Casey worked with her (well really me), and within a couple of minutes, using the command, "kennel", Daisy was walking in the crate on her own. Casey taught me how to release her from the crate with the command, "free". Helping me become a better pet owner was the most important goal. Angie and Casey far exceeded my expectations. If you need help with your dog, you can't do better than Dauntless Dogs private trainers Angie and Casey.

**Exceptional Training Experience with Valor Canine Services**…read more We can't thank Scott and the team at Valor Canine Services enough for the incredible work they've done with our dog, Hank. Before working with Scott, we honestly didn't know if we could handle Hank on our own. The difference after training is night and day--he's now the dog we always knew he could be. Scott's dedication went above and beyond. He kept us updated almost daily with videos and progress reports, making us feel included every step of the way. We know Hank wasn't easy, but Scott worked patiently with him and showed tremendous commitment to Hank's success. Thank you to the entire Valor Canine team, especially Scott, for your hard work, and for continuing to check in and answer all of our questions. We're so grateful to have a well-behaved, happy dog thanks to you!

Valor Canine Service is not just a dog training business; they are a true maestro of canine behavior and obedience. From the moment my dog began his training sessions, I was kept informed of my dog's progress daily and it was evident that not only did Valor Canine Service possessed a deep understanding of dogs, but also has a profound love and passion for what they do. Their approach was not merely about teaching commands but about fostering a harmonious relationship between owner and dog. This holistic approach is what sets Valor Canine Service apart for me and, from others in the field. I still implement the follow-up behavior and obedience strategies I was given. I will definitely use this service again and would highly recommend them to anyone. Valor Canine Service thank you! HM

I can't say enough good things about Fieldstone. Olive (my 5-year-old Boston Terrier chaos gremlin)…read morehas been going to daycare there three days a week for a while now, and it's hands-down the best decision I've made for her. The staff are not just professional, they're genuinely amazing. Every single person there clearly loves dogs, and you can feel it the moment you walk in. They know each pup as an individual, not just a number on the roster. The daily mix of group play, individual attention, enrichment activities, and structured downtime means Olive comes home happy, tired, and mentally satisfied instead of overstimulated or bored. I've never had a single worry about her safety or well-being while she's there. Even better, my 7-month-old Amstaff mix Bohdi has been taking private training lessons at Fieldstone, and wow, Lindsey, the training director, is in a league of her own. I've worked with several trainers over the years (both personally and professionally), and Lindsey is by far the best handler/trainer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She's patient, incredibly knowledgeable, reads dogs like an open book, and makes every session fun and productive. Bohdi looks forward to seeing her and her pup Birdie, and I can already see huge progress in his focus, impulse control, and manners. The training isn't just about commands, it's about building confidence and a real bond. The whole team at Fieldstone shines with genuine care and expertise. If you want a place where your dog is truly loved, safely enriched, and expertly trained, look no further. Fieldstone is the gold standard. Highly, highly recommend... five stars aren't enough!
