Corinna goes above and beyond! We have a 4 year old Staffie named Raphael that is high energy and…read moresquirrels left and right. During the initial free consult, she took her time understanding Raphael's impulses, behavior, and our concerns to make sure our boy is safe and loved. Corinna recommended the 4 week course and Raphael came back with the same lovable energy yet with new discipline, focus, and tricks. He now knows how to sit, place, heal and with more time through out the year he learned more tricks like roll, weave, and snout treat catch. She always gave us continuous updates, videos, and pictures. Plus she provides a training video! Raphael is so happy and comfortable with Corinna--she is like our extended family with the TLC she gives Raphael. We highly recommend Corinna and no worries that your baby dog will be taken care of!

I had a 10 month old Springer Spaniel puppy named Maya who was terrorizing me. She was jumping all…read moreover everything, stealing shoes, chewing, and overwhelming other dogs and new people. I couldn't take her anywhere. I had already spent an outrageous amount of money on another trainer with no success. I was seriously considering rehoming her. But my vet recommended Corinna and when I met her I could see immediately see, she was different. When my dog came at her with over zealous excitement Corinna handled her quietly and firmly, with very little exertion on her part. Maya spent 3 weeks at her Board & Train. Corinna sent me regular videos of Maya's progress and I couldn't believe I was seeing my dog. She even took Maya inside Home Depot and set her by herself, not tethered to anything and walked away with people walking all around and she just calmly stayed where she was told to. Wow. When I picked her up Corinna went over all her new commands and how to get the results I have been looking for. Since she has been home things are so different. We still have some chewing issues but they are improving every day. From time to time I have called Corinna up and we will discuss what is going on and she will give me advise on how to continue to work on any problems I might be having. Maya has become such a great dog. I would highly recommend Corinna to anyone having problems with their dog. She knows her stuff.

We love Lone Star Dog Training. Travis is a fantastic trainer. Our pitbull Rosie arrived in…read moreour garage in July hot, emaciated, and starving. We initially thought we'd foster her for adoption due to her dog aggression issues. After working with Travis, we decided togive Rosie a forever home ourselves. We brought Travis in to privately train her so she didn't have to deal with the stress of a group setting and because we wanted a tailored training program. With Lone Star Dog Training, we received an excellent job. Travis educated us about how training is important and what results he felt we could see. Over the course of 4 months, Rosie went from being aggressive toward our other dogs to feeling safe and comfortable with them. She's even adopted our 12 year old border terrier as her sister. Rosie has progressed from a frightened stray who did not wag her tail or understand how to take affection, to bounding and leaping with joy when she sees her people. She now seeks out our affections and looks forward to spending time with us. If not for Lone Star Dog Training, we would not have decided to keep her. It showed us what a wonderful, fun and loving dog Rosie is. Thank you, Travis , for your dedication and patience with us.

First review? Don't mind if I do…read more I have a Labradoodle, Dallas. He is half of my body weight. My husband and I had dozens of arguments about his pulling on his leash (sometimes causing me to almost lurch into traffic). I paid several hundred dollars in Petsmart group training classes. Dallas loved going to them to see his friends, but it wasn't a small enough setting for him to focus. Misty is all of the things you have been hoping to find. She is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. You can tell she truly loves dogs. She was never condescending about how little I know about dog training and gave real life examples of how to work through issues. Dallas is still a very energetic puppy, but he has gotten noticeably better. I would say he is 60% improved so far and no doubt we will hit 100% if we keep on practicing. Think of all the dumb things you spend money on. This is worth the money not to stress yourself out about your dog. You really love your dog. You want your dog to get better. This is the way. If you are even considering dog training, this girl is where it is at, for sure. You won't regret it.

Animal abuse. My dog is dead after 2 weeks at this establishment. Perfectly healthy; came home…read more Couldn't eat, extreme dehydration. She showed signs of abuse (cowering down, etc.). If you value the life of your furry family members, I beg for you to look elsewhere. We are heartbroken.

Dropped off our high energy puppy for 6 weeks ($4000) for some general training. Puppy was about 4…read moremonths old and 95% potty trained when I left her. She is now 50% potty trained and hit or miss with responding to commands. Upon receiving the puppy back after 6 weeks of training I wasn't really impressed. Attention for the puppy is gained for short bursts of time while using an Electronic Collar to correct any improper acts. (The electronic collar has several settings that use a vibration feature as well as traditional shock. Personally, we keep the vibration feature on as opposed to the more aggressive option.) When the demonstration for the training was given to us the puppy was sitting on its little bed... then peed on it.... And continued to sit. This act explains why our puppy with white markings has yellow tint to her. Overall, there are some areas where the dog did learn some things but nothing is really well or consistent. She can sit, stay and lay with proper tone and proximity. But her high energy and stubbornness is more than likely the reason why she's not "well trained" after 6 weeks. The trainers are friendly. The price is high. The outcome was less than satisfactory. They offer a 100% training guarantee (NOT MONEY BACK GUARANTEE). But with 6 weeks of constant training and this little retention it's not worth bringing the dog back month after month for the next several years just to have a dog that will stay consistently.

I boarded my diabetic dog for 5 night stays and honestly an amazing place to do so when my family…read moreand I had to fly out and couldn't bring our dog. Of course all dog parents always worry about our beloved pets. And for us it was the same especially since our dog needed to have their insulin shots at the scheduled times and luckily Barkway Resort took care of it! There was a variety of play areas for our beloved pets to play and hangout. And I really liked how they had a VIP section for a more quieter space so my dog could become his introverted ways after playing with the other dogs (both are extra costs) but I'm glad we did it. Unfortunately the cameras in the VIP were disabled for the 5 night stays we had our dog there. They mentioned they had someone who is trying to fix it but it was never turned on during our stay there in April. Because of this, we requested photos of each day of our dog just to know he was taken care of since the cameras were down and the staff provided that!

I've used both their daycare and boarding services, and I honestly cannot say enough good things…read moreabout the care they provide. My dog knows exactly where we're going when we get in the car, and by the time we arrive, he's practically vibrating with excitement. He runs straight to the door, ready to see his friends and start playing. As a pet parent, there's no better indication of how much a dog loves a place. One of the things I appreciate most is their temperament-testing process. I'll admit, I was a little unsure about it at first, but after seeing how successful their program is, I've become a firm believer. Willow Creek doesn't just put dogs together and hope for the best. They carefully evaluate each dog and group them based on personality, temperament, and activity level. My dog is one of the energetic pups who's always ready to play, and they do a fantastic job making sure he has compatible friends while also ensuring he gets time to rest and recharge. He always comes home happy, fulfilled, and completely exhausted. What really sets Willow Creek apart, though, is how much they genuinely care. The staff know my dog by name and greet him like family every time he arrives. Sure, he's a lovable guy, but that level of personal attention and affection speaks volumes about the culture they've created. I also love the updates and photos they share. Seeing pictures of my dog playing with his friends, enjoying a special treat like doggie ice cream or a donut, and simply having a great time gives me so much peace of mind when I'm away. And I have to mention the baths. Whatever shampoo they use is pure magic. My dog comes home looking great and smelling amazing for weeks afterward. I still haven't figured out their secret! Most importantly, I trust Willow Creek Ranch completely with the care of my dogs. While I usually board the dog I've talked about here, they've also cared for two of my other dogs. No matter the breed, size, or temperament, they've always been willing to work with both the dog and the owner to create a safe, positive experience. That level of dedication is rare. If you're looking for a place where your dog will be cared for, understood, and genuinely loved while you're away, I wholeheartedly recommend Willow Creek Ranch. For us, it's not just a daycare or boarding facility, it's part of our extended family.

I have to give Bob 5 stars for our first lesson that gave my dog a good push for heeling. He was…read morestruggling with this. Bob gave me the tools to overcome this bump in the road and for that I was very grateful. It just was not happening before I hired him. We were and are in training with someone else to pass the AKC CGC test to become a Therapy Dog and he just wasn't getting it. I felt that this $350 was money well spent. When it came time to test, I got nervous so I called Bob again to help me with the portion of the test that was to have my dog have no reaction to another dog. There are certain tasks your dog has to pass and this is one of them. It is more than just walking by another dog. He was to take the test the next day but I was nervous to take the test in case he was to fail this portion. He suggested we meet in front of Petsmart. I was hesitant to stand in front of a store asking customers for help, but hey he is the trainer. I don't know if Bob is unfamiliar with the CGC test as he kept asking me what was expected. Maybe, he just wanted to visit. I kept wondering, "Why is he asking me? He is the professional, not me." After 3 customer's dogs pass by he said, "This lesson was a bust. I'm not going to charge you. You can use me for something else."He encouraged me to take the test anyway. Little did I know that the encouragement would cost $350. My dog did pass the test today, but it is not because of yesterday. My dog and I work every single day together. I absolutely use the tools I was taught by Bob for heeling. My dog is also still in obedience school with another trainer and doesn't need anything Bob has to offer. So, I asked for a refund and he said no. What he did for my dog that day was just look for dogs from customers, pace around the sidewalk and we pretty much just visited. Bob is quite an entertaining guy. This is a picture of Bob's response when I asked for a refund. My response was "Merry Christmas. Keep the money. God Bless." I guess he needs it more than I. Bob knows that standing in front of Petsmart talking and hitting up a few customers is not what got my dog to pass the test. It was hard work for the last 6 months and we have more to go. We are on our way to help those who need a great big dog hug.
