Cheryl is the best. Seriously. We heard about her from a friend and when we meet for our free…read moreevaluation I knew she was gonna be our trainer. We live in Lake Stevens which is out of her travel range so we met at McCollum park in Everett for our sessions. We have a 6 month old Whippet and the web is full of information about how Whippets are not motivated to be trained, can never be trusted off leash, no training collars (they have thin necks), are very sensitive, etc. After reading all this I was left bewildered. I had trained our previous dog (Lab) but I felt like nothing I knew before would work on this dog and I hadn't even started! Cheryl put my mind at ease. She felt that a balanced approach (a gentler training collar with lots of positive reinforcement) was the way to go and how a dog is trained and what it can and can't do is up to the individual dog and its owner. We signed up for her Silver package and met twice a week for 5 weeks. After our first lesson I was so pleased I could cry. Just that lesson taught Dobby not to pull which was his biggest issue. From there he learned sit, down, come, place, heel, stay, not to jump up on people and just how to generally pay attention to me more than his surroundings. Its tough for him as Sighthounds see everything and are intensely interested. But he's come so so far. Cheryl never lost her cool, never lost her patience and she had a solution for every issue that came up. I had to bring my 4 kids numerous times as we homeschool and she was never (visibly) annoyed, even though they were sometimes quite annoying :) We did end up using an electronic collar and our last few sessions involved working with him on that. He has begun work off leash using this collar. It also helps make corrections at home when he doesn't have a leash on and is far away. I would recommend using the e-collar option if it fits into your budget. Its been really nice. I can't recommend Cheryl highly enough. We really enjoyed our time with her and Duke and her impact on Dobby and us will last a very long time. She enabled us to have a well-behaved dog that we can take anywhere. That's priceless.

From Fearful Rescue to Confident Companion - Exceptional Experience in Frisco!…read more I cannot thank Joseph and the team at Dog Training Elite Frisco enough for the transformation in my 1-year-old GSD/Lab mix, Lily. I rescued Lily at 4 weeks old, and despite my best efforts, she struggled with severe anxiety, leash pulling, and reactivity toward people and other dogs. At 50 lbs, she was becoming impossible to walk, and I was truly worried she'd never be able to enjoy the world around her. After an insightful evaluation with Tra, we decided on the 2-week Board and Train. As a nervous dog mom, I was worried she would shut down, but Joseph was a godsend. To ease my anxiety, he provided daily pics and updates on her progress, which meant the world to me. Joseph didn't just "train" her; he matched her energy, recognized her sweetness, and built her confidence from the ground up through discipline and engagement. He used creative training environments--like walks in the woods and outdoor sessions--to meet her exactly where she was. It's clear Joseph views dog training as an art and is his passion; he invested so much heart into her, and the bond they formed was great to see. The "hand-off" was seamless. Joseph spent significant time showing me how to transfer those skills at home. Austin then provided the "missing link" with in-home reinforcement sessions. He was fantastic at coaching me to ensure I was executing commands the "right way" so Lily and I could have long-term success. Between the board and train and the group classes, Lily has become a thriving, loyal family companion. I have zero hesitation recommending Joseph for any Board and Train needs and Austin for expert in-home coaching. They didn't just train my dog; they empowered me to be a better owner and Lily a thriving, loyal family best friend!

Since then, there has been zero follow-up--neither to me nor to the organization ready to fund the training. I even reached out personally to their lead trainer, Tray, and got no response. The lack of communication and professionalism--especially on a veterans-related initiative--is unacceptable. I expected more from a company that claims to support veterans. I would not recommend them based on my experience.

She texted multiple pictures and updates when she would visit my home. I feel confident and secure leaving my cat in her care and I trust her if there was ever an emergency. When I came home from my vacation, my cat seemed calm and secure and didn't seem depressed or anxious (like she was with other sitters). I absolutely love Maria's Happy Paw Pet Care. She has over 20 years experience and takes the job seriously. She takes care of your pet, with detailed care and affection, as if it were her own. Thank you !

Larry taught me to be a good pet owner and years later my dog still responds to everything it learned from my first visit with Larry. He is gentle, he is patient, he loves animals and will never ask you to do anything "harmful" in the name of training. No shock collars or chokes or anything of that regard. I even had a stray with what I deemed as aggression to other animals...one visit with Larry and it hasn't happened since because now I know how to respond. Thank you Larry. My pets have a better life because of you!

It was such a thoughtful surprise! But what really touched us was the Easter card they included--signed by the staff. That small gesture meant so much and shows how much heart they put into what they do. We also opted for the Easter photos, and they turned out so cute! They really go above and beyond--not just for the dogs, but for the families too!

He doesn't come out shaking like he did with other groomers because he's giving her kisses. My other pom loves everyone but she has thick course hair.
