    Not sure about that graduation cap yet
    Rou M.

    I adopted this little dog that was found on the streets and no one came to claim him at the shelter. He was a sweet little thing at the shelter and I lost my heart to him immediately but when I took him home within a few days I had doubts that I could handle him. He didn't know any commands, he wasn't potty trained, was marking everything inside the house, and was super hyper. I felt like I was going insane. I looked around and was lucky enough to find Breanna (when she was working at a different location). It was meant to be. She really saved us! I would say the training was more for me so I could learn to talk to and train my dog. After just the first session I was so relieved that my dog was trainable! I practiced with him everything Breanna taught us and he graduated his basic training course with flying colors. Then we continued to get canine citizen training with Breanna and passed his test a well. Breanna is so very sweet and she really cares about the dogs like they're her own babies. We call her fairy godmother! I know her passion was to work with troubled dogs but she was being limited at her previous work. I'm so happy for her and any dog that gets to have training with her now that she is doing her own thing! What I learned from her classes has really carried over even after our classes were over. I have been able to train my dog further and I love him to bits! A lot of people that meet him fall in love with him, not knowing the work that we had to put to turn him into the gentleman he is. Breanna's classes: 10/10 would do again! I recommend her to anyone wanting an amazing trainer for their dog!!

    Britney helped us make great progress with behavior modifications for both of our dogs. She was incredibly patient with teaching us how to make corrections to the dogs and we have seen big improvement. Now we just need to keep up with practice.

    Breanna is a godsend! She saved my service dog. Literally when his life was in danger. My service dog recently went through a horrifying event where he was placed with an aggressive dog that had known history and other dogs by a negligent sitter. A dog was killed, my service dog was injured, and the aggressive dog was taken by animal control. Unfortunately, this incident did not stop the sitter from putting my injured service dog with even more dogs. I thought I was going to blackout when I found out the conditions my dog had been placed in. I was so flabbergasted that I couldn't even think of who to call for help. As I started scrolling down my contact list, I recognized the one name that I could depend on: Breanna. The minute I contacted Breanna, she was out the door. She rescued my boy right away and made sure he was safe when I couldn't get to him. She had always been excellent in handling my dog and my friends' dogs, but she truly went above and beyond. I could have lost my dog if it hadn't for her. Unfortunately, I am not a walking thesaurus with the capability to come up with different praises. But I do know the definition of MuttSurf: trustworthy. Tacoma is very stranger-danger now due to his trauma and needs rehabilitation. But he still tells me himself with his entire body whenever he sees Breanna that he trusts her as well.

    My wife and I just want to say that we are extremely grateful to have work with our puppies trainer , Breanna! We our first time dog owners and we have two pitbull puppies. We had no clue on how to take care of them or how to properly trained them. Luckily we reached out to Muttsurf Canine training and Breanna was quick to get back to us regarding setting up training schedule! The price was very reasonable for the amount of sessions we would get with her! Fast forward 5 sessions later, she had helped us trained our puppies to do many basic commands. They know how to sit, stay, down, come at us and many more! We couldn't be more happy! Highly recommend Breanna!

    Where to start! Breanna has really supported my pooch and I in every aspect. My dog is easy on the eyes but stubborn like his daddy. She's been so patient, informative and caring. We met about a year ago and she know supports us on a weekly basis. I've called her when I go out of town and need someone to take care of my 2 dogos. She's there! I work a lot just like a lot of you and I hate not walking the pack when I get home. So I recently decided to have her support us in that. We would highly recommend her and her staff!

    Breanna is the absolute best. We started puppy training with her at Petco and have been working with her for about 2 years now always working on new things. She is very patient and she really cares about the dogs especially my crazy girl. She does positive training and always tries to understand why the behavior is occurring. Definitely recommend. Your pups will love her instantly.

However, I can tell you now from experience this actually works very well. However, this is for behavioral correction. If you have a naughty dog that is jumping all over people, barking at everybody, jumping on your furniture, not getting along with other dogs -- then this is for you. If you want your dog to listen to commands like sit, stay, down, place -- then this is probably not for you. I am very grateful for The Dog Guru. Our dog was jumping all over our five-year-old daughter and her friends resulting in at least one crying kid every time. Our dog would jump all over the furniture and almost know that she wasn't supposed to be doing it yet, wouldn't listen to our commands. Sure enough one 2 hour session and this was all corrected. The methods are not for the faint of heart however, but trust the process and the results will speak for themselves. There is no physical harm being done to your animal, in fact there is no negative physicality to it at all - he wouldn't have so many great reviews if there was. Just a very direct process to assert yourself as the leader of the house. Thanks again, Dog Guru!

No doubt an excellent trainer for the military and if that's what you're looking for he may be just your speed ! His accolades can be found in so many of his advertisements which I'm sure are no doubt accurate. If you're going to pay a sum in advance to schedule a conversation, (as I did) , you may have to call him to remind him to call you on the last day that the call was promised . While, this truth may not sit well and I didn't actually hire him, no matter because your mileage may vary. He is a busy guy. All the best to you all.

We were so happy with everything that we decided to progress further by sending her to his 2 week boot camp at 16 months old. When I asked why such a good dog would go to boot camp, Vladae responded with, "Same reason that the smartest kids go to university, to become all they can be and hone their skills." That made sense to me! If it was any other boot camp I would have been nervous about my baby. I know how well Vladae treats his campers though and his focus on health and exercise. "Only the tired dog is the good dog" Thank you Vladae!

It honestly brought back the feeling of being a first-time parent--questioning every decision, but without a nurse hotline for guidance. My husband and I were especially struggling with how to manage Chloe around our young kids. She was very unruly, reactive on walks, and difficult to control around other dogs. We found SoCal Dog Training through a friend's referral, and choosing Vladae ended up being one of the best decisions we've made. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first--so many trainers promise results--but Vladae truly delivers. The onboarding process was seamless. The initial FaceTime consultation helped set clear expectations, and I really appreciated how upfront and honest he was about the work required. What stood out most to me was his long-term commitment--knowing I could always come back for refreshers gave me a lot of confidence that I wasn't just getting a short-term fix. The training sessions are where the transformation really happens. After each session, it genuinely felt like we had a new dog--but that's also where the responsibility comes in. You have to consistently follow through with the exercises he gives you. In many ways, it reminded me that investing in my dog's future takes the same consistency and commitment as investing in my two kids. She's now quite literally my third kid. Chloe used to be extremely reactive--barking, pulling on the leash, and even jumping up on our toddlers. Vladae helped me understand the root of her behavior and showed me how to properly address it. Now she's calm, more confident, and walking her has become something I actually enjoy. Seeing that transformation has been incredibly rewarding. It wasn't an easy process, but it was absolutely worth it. Also, a special shout-out to Antonina for being so kind, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling.

We were at a loss after already completing basic training with our pup, as he was…read morestill struggling with negative behaviors we needed to correct, including nipping, guarding, fear, biting at the vet, and anxiety with strangers. We brought our 2-year-old rescue chihuahua mix, Harry, to Sal in hopes that he could help us address these more significant trauma-related issues. Harry was a tough nut to crack, but after the one-week board and train, we were blown away by the positive changes we saw. Sal and his team made incredible breakthroughs with Harry. He was able to be held and touched by the trainers, stopped guarding, and became noticeably calmer and happier overall. The post-board and train "tune-ups" were also extremely effective, allowing us to troubleshoot concerns during our 1:1 follow-up sessions with Sal. Harry has continued to return to Sal for day boarding, touch-ups, and additional socialization with other dogs, which he loves. He is always excited to see Sal and the training staff, which tells us the experience was truly positive for him. Now that we've completed the initial training and several boarding sessions, Harry is doing great. We can have people enter our home, he can go to the vet, get his teeth cleaned with no anesthesia, and receive care without needing to be muzzled or heavily medicated, and he is much more compliant overall. A bonus is that we can now confidently leave Harry for a day or vacation boarding, knowing he is in the best care and continuing his training while we're away. We can't recommend Sal and his team enough for their incredible work, professionalism, and responsiveness with Harry.

I was unable to stop her. After reading all the Yelp reviews, and doing a deep dive on ChatGPT looking for any negative reviews anywhere, I decided to meet Sal. When I met him, his dogs were impeccably trained, and I felt I could trust him to treat Piper firmly but kindly. Even though I was nervous about leaving Piper with a stranger, I committed to the two weeks of boarding. When I came back, Piper was a changed dog on the leash. No more pulling. The follow-up lessons were good and the pack walks are excellent for desensitizing your dog to other dogs. I definitely recommend Sal to anyone who has trouble with their dog's behavior.

He was listening, he was following commands and seemed to be comprehending very well. It was because of the prong collar that was dugged into his neck whenever a command is given. Fast forward the two weeks...I was so excited to get him back and got instructions on how he was trained and to continue the training on my own. Now I don't have complaints on how they train, each person has their own technique however when I got my dog back with me alone, he was super anxious and scared. He wouldn't let me leave his side. Every time I got up he would get up too. Everywhere I went in the house he would follow. I get it because we've been apart for two weeks and he was afraid that I would leave him again. He really did not like the prong collar. He yelped one time when I took it off. It's not an easy collar to take off. I gave the prong collar a try for a few days and he listened but he was not the same happy dog that I was used to. He was withdrawn and did not let people approach him or touch him. He did not bark at all which was not him. He was also super skinny when I got him back, you can see his bones sticking out. They said he ate all the food I brought. I brought kibble, some home made food, treats and a new bag of fresh pet. I was told that he had completely finished all of his food. My dog doesn't eat a whole lot, so I was surprised that he had nothing left. I did not want anything back, I just know my dog doesn't eat that much and is very dry picky.l and hoped he was fed well. That part I'm not too sure on. When I got him back I did manage to weigh him and he was 4.6 lbs, he usually weighs about 5 1/2 lbs. He is now eating right and gaining his weight back but I still feel his bones. After a couple of days of using the prong collar I stopped putting it on him. He would lay where he was, very sad and distant. He didn't even want to play with my other dog, he just wanted to sit right by me when he had his collar. After leaving the collar off for several days now he has become a super happy and very playful puppy. He still obeys commands with treats of course. I don't think anything was wrong with the training my dog received. I think this place is for a dog who is a bit more mischievous and does not entirely listen. I also think it's more suitable for dogs of a larger size or breed or weight like my pit bull but she listens and is very mellow. I do appreciate the help that Hudson's Canine Kennels gave, unfortunately this did not work out for me or my dog.

Our dog was working with Bryan who gave updates on the days promised with no delays. We have a husky who is a bit skittish and of course a tad stubborn. When we watched her videos, she clearly was getting the training down well! Once we came home and picked her up, Bryan made it easy to understand the next steps and has consistently followed up with us to check how she's doing. It was suggested to train with an electric collar. My partner and I were considering it ourselves but didn't know how to use it properly. The SMS team have you try it - I wouldn't try something like this on my dog without knowing what it feels like a promise you, it's not at all painful. Since using it, our dog has followed commands and even does things naturally like being right at our side while walking or sitting and staying. We've only just begun and it's been great results. We hope that this keeps up and that once we ween off it, she'll be an even better dog. Two last things. They also understand a dog is a dog, her release command is literally "go play".

Ryan ALWAYS follows up, checks in and makes sure to ask if I have any more questions. Max has a really strong bond with him as well, which makes me very happy to see and feel more comfortable if I need to leave him to board and train for any more work he might need. Super grateful for Ryan - and I highly, highly recommend him!! Cindy is also absolutely fabulous - she helped me so much when we realized that Max just needed a little bit of extra work and attention.
