He dealt with my dog's separation anxiety for the first night and I really appreciated him for letting me through updates. I cannot recommend him enough!

Above amazing dog training! If you want a dog that is trained and no dilly-dallying to get there…read moreVINCE is the trainer you NEED! I personally am a certified dog trainer for a large pet store and while they are amazing for the basics I wanted a more expert opinion when it comes to more extensive dog training. I have a 4 year old Maltese who I've self trained as a a psychiatric service dog. Nacho is wonderful very well mannered, but has always had a bit of his own anxiety. Since I'm up to date on lots of training methods and I wanted his advice personally, he agreed to doing a private session with me. I brought everything for the session, his fancy FI dog collar that tracks him, his working vest, short lead, distance lead, his e-collar and of course treats. I told him that the e collar training I've done with him is modified as I don't have one that shocks only noise and vibration. He said while he gets results almost immediate with a classic e-collar conditioning, he is willing to do whatever I am most comfortable with. Nacho has off leash recall but only conditioned with the vibration, and because he's only 7 pounds and I got the most lightweight vibration collar I modified it to be on the back of his harness which works perfect. Again Vince will only do whatever you're comfortable with and better yet he'll explain the reasoning of how each training tool is used and why it works. While I know Vince could have gotten my dog to do 4x as many commands in the time frame that we spent working, it was more important for me to learn what he was preaching and my god was it amazing! Everything started to click and make sense which gave me so much more confidence in myself and my boy Nacho. I can tell he has had many years of experience and if I ever have any more concerns or questions I will happily put money down to see him again. Any dogs that I come across that need behavioral help will be going his way. While it can be pricey it is so worth it! Take the time to get his advice and opinion it's well worth it! Thanks again Vince for helping me with Nacho! We appreciate it immensely!

We…read morereached out to another boarding facility, but Great Oak Kennels was the only one that allowed us to submit an application without a meet-and-greet. It was a huge blessing, considering we wouldn't be able to drive down for one before our wedding. In general, we were reluctant to leave our two pups, Milo and Enzo, at a boarding facility for the first time because we have never left them in another person's care who wasn't a relative. But we are so glad we did and that we had a wonderful experience! Naomi took great care of them for 4 days. She was very responsive, professional, understanding, and most importantly, kind. She gave them all the attention, love and care they seek and need. We were impressed with her clean facility and were relieved that she was able to separate the two dogs during meal time as requested. She was easy to work with when it came to the dogs' specific schedule and instructions, and she was very open and flexible to our needs when it came to pick-up and drop-off. We trusted her so much that we even extended their stay by one day! She was fantastic and we are so glad we know who to go to again for future dog boarding needs.

We couldn't be happier and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!

Sheri immediately notified me and went above and beyond to make sure nothing happened to my girl. She sat with her at the vet from 9am - 3pm and updated me every step of the process. This could've been a very bad outcome if she was with any other sitter, but Sheri's diligence and expertise are the reason my dog did not get seriously harmed. As a dog mom this was my worst nightmare come true, and I'm convinced if any other dog sitter was with her I would not have come home to her alive. Sheri is the only pet-sitter I would trust in the Temecula area, especially after this experience. Thank you again for everything!!

I was referred to Gennifer, and I honestly couldn't be happier or more grateful that I found her…read more I have a very special 16-year-old senior dog named Noah, and as you can imagine, finding someone I trust to care for him is incredibly important to me. At his age, he is very sensitive and has some of the little quirks and challenges that come with being a senior dog. Grooming can be stressful for him, so I was a little nervous about how he would do with someone new. Gennifer was absolutely wonderful with him. She was so patient, gentle, and understanding of his needs. She even used a sling to support him so that his little legs and body wouldn't become tired from having to stand for too long. She took her time with him and never made me feel like his age or sensitivities were an inconvenience. What touched me most was the way she handled Noah with genuine kindness and compassion. She seemed to understand that he isn't just an appointment--he's my beloved senior boy who deserves to be treated with patience, dignity, and care. I know grooming can be challenging on its own, and I can only imagine that working with senior dogs adds another level of patience and care. Gennifer handled Noah's individual needs so beautifully, and I could tell that his comfort was important to her. As a dog mom, there is nothing more reassuring than finding someone you can truly trust with a beloved pet, especially when they are getting older. I left feeling so thankful that Noah was in such caring hands. I'm incredibly grateful for the referral and feel very fortunate to have found Gennifer. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially those with senior dogs who need someone patient, gentle, and genuinely compassionate. Noah is already scheduled to come back!
