I'll admit Stevie's not perfect, but from where Ashley started with her she has become the best dog we've ever had. Ashely's training to us has carried over to our latest addition Nikki. She's still a puppy but with Ashley's training she's doing great. We can't believe how much difference there is with dog ownership when you have a well behaved dog that will obey your commands. Ashley has made a tremendous change for us and our pets!

Where do I begin? I went to pick up one puppy and ended up with two! I currently have a 3 1/2-…read moreyear-old Pomeranian and getting them all to get along was enough of a task. Teaching the two babies pretty much everything was a whole other story! We needed help. I have a lot of issues medically that made it difficult for me to train them myself, not to mention my mom was coming in from out of town in a very short time. After talking to my vet and some of the girls in the office, I was told about Ashley and her training with Naughty Dog. I had done research and priced several different people and just could not afford for someone to come to my home. Finally, I reached out to Ashley and she came by to go over her techniques and her program. We decided to choose Naughty Dog, and just after one session, both my husband's and my mind were blown! Ashley truly knows what she is doing and is amazing with dogs. She definitely went above and beyond and we were quite surprised. One thing she taught me was that it's not just the training, but the owners have to be willing to work with their pets as well if you just want her to train them and be done, you will be disappointed. As an owner, you have to have responsibility in the training as well. That means a lot of work on your part and "homework" so to speak. If you give them a little bit of work and follow Ashley's direction you will truly be successful. Naughty Dog is great and they truly take the time to study your pet and make sure that they are a good fit. I love you bunches, Ashley! You have a gift so I hope you are able to continue showing and teaching other dogs and their owners !

David at K9 Clarity is amazing! I had a very difficult pup and we met with David for about 9-12…read moreweeks and by the end of it she was a well behaved little lady that I could let off leash and feel safe about it. His methods and ways of training are immaculate compared to others I have experienced in the past. I would highly only recommend him to anyone looking to have a well behaved pup in the family! It was a big plus that my little lady absolutely LOVED David! She was always fearful of strangers and men more specifically, and David helped change that. Her anxious chewing and separation anxiety were also remedied and subsided as we worked with David and now she is a social happy pup! I highly recommend K9 Clarity to anyone looking for an amazing trainer !

David taught me so much about my newly adopted dog and helped me understand the psychology behind…read morehow dogs think. His training is all about safety for you and the pup. He starts with the fundamentals that allow you give quick corrections as the training gets more complex. He's great at walking you through each step, explaining the 'why' behind it, and then moves at the pace that you're comfortable with. If you're consistent and you practice often, you'll see the rewards! He is very patient, great at explaining and showing and correcting if you're not doing it quite right, and as I said before, he gives you the 'why' behind everything which I think is so so so important. I was able to wrap my head around the concept and now I can better understand my dog and her behaviors, which allows me to effectively correct them!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Dean from Double D Dog Training! We did in-home…read morepuppy training for our Cavalier, Henry, and I truly can't say enough good things about the entire process. From the very beginning, Dean was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient - not just with Henry, but with us as well. He has a way of making training feel approachable and even fun, which made such a difference as this was our first experience with a dog trainer. Nothing ever felt overwhelming or intimidating. Dean was also very reassuring that a lot of what we have experienced with our Henry was normal puppy behavior. What really stood out to us was how personalized the training was. Dean took the time to understand Henry's personality and our lifestyle, and then tailored everything to fit our home environment. That made it so much easier for us to stay consistent and actually implement what we were learning day-to-day. Henry has learned all of his basic commands and is doing so well. We've seen such a transformation in his behavior, confidence, and responsiveness. It's been such a joy to watch him grow, and we truly feel like Dean set us up with a strong foundation that will last. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled at what he does but also genuinely cares about both you and your dog, we highly recommend Dean. This was one of the best investments we've made for Henry and our home!

Cora is amazing! Completed the Basic Manners I class with my bull mastiff puppy. She was…read moreoutstanding at handling the pups & the owners haha Very informative. Love the live demo with the dogs & practicing in the yard. Everything was outside, small classes which gave her more time to work with each pup. That was awesome. Super fun class! Ms. Cora definitely speaks their language. Tons of helpful tips along the way, both general and specific to my dog. Everything she suggested works like a charm. My puppy absolutely loved going. Can't wait for the next class!

***Disclaimer- This states I am in San Diego, but I live in San Antonio***…read more First off, our trainers name is Cora Harnish. I have a six year old dog that lived on a ranch chasing whatever he wanted for 1.5 years. On our walks he would pull aggressively on his leash towards other dogs, which was very embarrassing. Not only that, but my wife could not walk him when I was away on travel due to this. Now that my wife is pregnant this was obviously an area of concern for us. Cora came in and immediately reinforced good behaviors through positive reinforcement. In the six short weeks, our fur-baby learned so much and with more practice will only get better. I can now walk him and am able to redirect his attention with confidence. We are so lucky to have found her. Do keep in mind that these are one hour group sessions, so for best outcomes YOU will have to do additional work. Cora just lays the foundation for you and your fur-baby! EXTREMELY affordable, loving/enthusiastic trainer and HIGHLY recommend for dogs of all ages.

Her weekly pupdates were a highlight that I looked forward to and was always so delighted by. I went into this looking for a reputable breeder to buy a puppy from and I got so much more. Becca is absolutely wonderful. The two best things about this journey were meeting my puppy AND meeting Becca. I am so in love with my Hamilton. He's the best boy. He also has had wonderful manners since Becca placed him in my arms. They are such well-raised puppies! This sweet, funny, beautiful little guy is my heart and finding Becca was definitely meant to be! I couldn't have gotten luckier. What a blessing! I'd recommend The Doodle Spot to everyone.

Ann from Perfect Pups is the best!…read more I have a miniature dachshund named Francisco who is a fairly good dog, but in the last few months he has become very nervous and scared of other people (specially the mailman). After watching too many hours of The Dog Whisperer, I was afraid his behavior would eventually make him an aggressive dog and decided it was time to get an expert's opinion. Because of this, we decided to do an introductory class with Ann from Perfect Pups, so she could assess our situation and perhaps give us some tips to work on. The day of our session Ann arrived at our home on time, which I really appreciate. During our one hour session, she was able to give us some really great tips to treat Francisco's nervous behavior. We've already started implementing some of her recommendations, and we can see a difference in our dachshund. This will definitely take some time, but I appreciate getting Ann's expert opinion. I would definitely like to meet with Ann again in a few weeks to show her some of the progress we've made and get some new tips from her. She is a great trainer and I love the way she explained everything to us. I highly recommend Ann from Perfect Pups to EVERYONE; especially to those who are new dog parents.

Jaclyn was such an incredible source of wisdom and peace when my family was deciding to get a…read morefamily dog. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, but we had such different experiences and opinions on how to train a dog and make the dog a part of our family. Jaclyn not only helped us narrow down what temperament of dog we should look for, but also helped us get on the same page with dog training and things we should be ready for. Getting a dog is such a big commitment! I'm so glad we consulted Jaclyn before making this big decision!

Travis Padgett (TP) offers the best services possible. It's a stroke of good fortune to find an…read moreestablished expert who can also teach so effectively. Travis has an easy approachable style that makes lessons stress free and enjoyable. He keeps it simple. His straightforward emphasis on a few fundamentals builds confidence. He taught us (me, my son and our Tuco) to form a strong foundation of just three basic commands. When confused or unsure about the right thing to do, we go right back to that basic, three-command sequence. It's like hitting reset. More importantly, we'll build on that foundation and be able to handle many more tasks with a lot less effort... not even a spoken command. TP's training has an enjoyable natural flow. We just finished Phase One with a field trip to Hardberger Park. Despite distractions from squirrels, birds, vehicles and other dogs Tuco demonstrated he's got the basics down. We've had Tuco for more than a year and could never get him to come when called. If he was in the yard, bribery with treats might lure him inside but more likely he'd just stay outside until he let us know he wanted in. After our third session with Travis I stood at my front door, called the dog and for the first time, he trotted right on in. I knew he was an expert Dog Handler because of his thirty years service in that capacity in the US Air Force, the branch that trains military handlers and working dogs. I knew he could teach because for many years he was one of the USAF's Senior Instructors. It was a pleasure to find that Travis is so personable as well. It was especially good news that TP's rates are way lower than I'd expected. Honestly, I was ready to pay twice what he asks.

This has been over the course of 7 days. The service Travis rendered in the first session was very good however I do not believe deserve to pay the price of 3 sessions for 1 session. Please advise
