She's not the easiest dog, definitely not one to just listen to or work for someone she doesn't know or trust, but James handled it really well. He really cares about the process, took time to address any concerns I had, and answered all my emails afterward about training. One thing to note - you have to be involved too. It's not just about training the dog; you're also learning how to understand your dog, communicate better, and adjust your own behavior. The service was definitely above my budget, but honestly, I'd do it again. A nice bonus - now that my dog knows James and is comfortable at his place, I feel a lot better leaving her with him for boarding when I travel. It's hard for me to leave her with just anyone, so that extra peace of mind is huge.

Steve at One Day Dog Training is truly one of the most special and remarkable people I have ever…read morehad the privilege of learning from, and an absolute delight to spend a day with. I have decades of experience fostering dogs and personally adopting many of my own, and over the years I've worked with a wide range of trainers. Without question, Steve is in a league entirely of his own. His talent, intuition, and depth of understanding when it comes to dogs is extraordinary. He doesn't just train dogs; he teaches humans how to truly understand them. What made the experience even more unforgettable was the joy he brought into the day. We laughed constantly. At one point my cheeks genuinely hurt from hours of smiling and laughter. And yet, amid all of that warmth and humor, we walked away with an incredibly clear, grounded, and practical understanding of his methods and a deep sense of confidence in our ability to apply them. Steve's approach is refreshingly doable: just five minutes of training per day, paired with his ongoing availability as a resource. That combination alone feels invaluable. We literally just completed our training day today, so I plan to update this review in a few months with more detail about long-term ease of execution and results with our dog, Griffin. But one thing I feel compelled to share now is this: throughout the entire day, even while Griffin was dramatically protesting (vocally, and with flair), Steve remained calm, steady, and completely unfazed. Griffin didn't love everything he was being asked to do, but he clearly adored Steve. He never cowered, never shut down, never showed fear. That level of trust speaks volumes. At one point, I asked Steve about scheduling an additional training day for one of our other dogs. His response was thoughtful, sensible, and deeply ethical: he told me it wouldn't be necessary. He explained that the principles I was learning with Griffin would absolutely apply to our other dogs as well, and that he'd be more than happy to answer questions along the way. That moment really matters to me because it so clearly reflects that Steve is driven by genuine passion and care for people and dogs, not by squeezing every possible dollar out of his clients. I also want to wholeheartedly acknowledge Tasha, who was incredibly kind, responsive, and compassionate throughout the scheduling process. We had to cancel our original training day due to a traumatic injury our other dog, Enzo, sustained: a spinal stroke. Tasha immediately offered to refund our deposit without hesitation. When I shared that I still very much wanted to work with Steve, she later went out of her way to find us an earlier date than originally offered after I asked to be notified of any cancellations. That level of care and humanity meant so much during a really difficult time. I am profoundly grateful for Steve and his entire team. This was one of the most positive, affirming, and empowering experiences I've ever had as a dog guardian. If you're looking for the best, congratulations. You have found it with One Day Dog Training!

Amazing Dog Training session with Steve Miles of One Day Dog Training today!…read more My husband and I were "beside ourselves" with the incessant barking, lack of focus, dog walking struggles behavior that Finn (1 1/2 yr old) Maltipoo had started displaying over the past 6 months. We had tried various tactics, treats to rid Finn of his "bad habits" We were referred to One Day Dog Training through some close friends who had worked with Steve to train their 2 dogs. From the start.. Finn really took to Steve. Steve is personable, knowledgeable, and patient. His love for dogs is felt. He put our minds at ease from the start. Through the training, Steve took time to teach us how to better understand dog behavior and how we can better communicate what we want our dog to do...It was very enlightening. It was an education for us and Finn! At the end of our 3 hour session, we were really amazed to see a transformed young dog. We are soooo proud of Finn. The 3 of us have learned so much! Thank You, Steve!

Your pets are in for a treat, literally and figuratively, with a visit to Pet Food Express!…read more With aisles filled with pet food, treats, toys and other supplies, you'll find all that you'll need here to keep your little furry friends fed, happy, and learning. The variety of food options from different suppliers and manufacturers give you plenty of choices to consider. If you're experimenting with different diets and meal combinations, this is a great place to build up your inventory in small batches at home. You'll find wet and dry varieties for both canines and felines but you'll also find feed for smaller critters as well. Their collection of treats and snacks is also immense. You'll find at least 4 aisles dedicated to chews for canines including horns, hoofs, antlers, bones, and hides. Biscuits, dried fish and produce blends, and jerky are also very common here with multiple brand options available. For biscuit and cookies, you'll also be able to purchase them by weight if you're looking for smaller amounts. They may vary in ingredients and design but they all seem very intact and organized. In addition to the edibles, your pets will grovel at all the toys and supplies to help them learn, play, walk, and be comfortable. From leashes, harnesses and boots for walks to beds, grass pads, and toys for home bodies, you'll be able to shop and buy all of them in person. Prices don't seem too much off from online prices but the benefit here is that you'll be able to bring it home with you right away while supporting a local business. You'll also find a self washing station here where many guardians take their furry pals to get cleaned up. The basins are quite large to accommodate larger animals and despite being self service, it seems to be kept pretty clean. The staff were also great during our visit. They gave warm greetings and were on task, keeping the place clean, organized and stocked. Management has done a great job building a good working culture here! Overall, Pet Food Express is for sure where you'll find your pet necessities quickly, but due to the variety of items, by no means would you want to leave quickly. The available supplies and extent of options give you plenty to look through. If you're looking for something specific, the staff are available to help and fortunately prices are reasonable, so you and your pets will stroll out happy!

When they walked in, they noticed the place was very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Before paying, my husband asked if they could try the wash first since we weren't sure whether to purchase a single wash or take advantage of the "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" special. The process was very easy--shampoo and aprons were provided, and they had 25 minutes to wash our pup. This was more than enough time to thoroughly clean our 100lb husky and use the air-dry hose. The only reason we opted for just one wash instead of the bundle was the drying system. While the air-dry hose is a nice feature, it wasn't strong enough for our husky's thick coat. We'll be looking for a place with heated dryers, but if those don't work out, we'd be happy to return here. Thank you for the great service and for cleaning up after our very hairy pup!

From day one, Roy made us feel completely at ease. He sent daily photos and videos of Dior having the time of his life with his furry friends, which was huge for us since Dior never really got to socialize like that before. Seeing him so happy, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying himself made all the difference. Roy clearly loves what he does and treats the dogs like his own. We couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience and will 100% be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where their dog will be truly cared for.

Working with Beth changed everything for us with our daughter's small dog Tito. Before we found…read moreher, having people come into our home was stressful and honestly a little scary. Tito was so reactive that we had to warn anyone who came over, and we were constantly on edge. Beth stepped in and gave us not just hope, but actual tools that worked. She helped us understand Tito in a way we never had before, and the difference in him -- and in our home -- has been incredible. One thing I really want to emphasize is that almost all of the work we did with Beth happened in our own home and in our daily routines, not at her house. The time we spent at her place was very minimal, and was always very calm and controlled. The real transformation came from Beth teaching us how to communicate with Tito, how to read him, and how to guide him so he could feel safe. She always says dog training is 90% people training, and that was absolutely true for us. She taught us how to be better for him, and that's what made the biggest difference. Now Tito is a completely different dog -- relaxed, friendly, and able to enjoy our home without all the chaos and fear he used to feel. Friends and family can come over again. We can breathe again. And that's because of Beth. She didn't just train our dog; she changed the way we live with him, and we're so grateful for everything she's done for our family.

After my initial conversation with Haley, I was able to successfully work through the separation anxiety and cat reactivity on my own, then had a series of training sessions to address the dog reactivity. Before training, walks with Sophie caused me so much anxiety - we had to stay far away from any dogs to avoid the embarrassing meltdowns. Going on any trails near dogs was out of the question. With training, swapping her collar and lots of practice on our own, we now regularly walk busy trails and beaches and have fun! Sophie can now pass 10-20 dogs on Los Gatos Trail without issues. She prances along with so much more confidence now! I'm very grateful for Haley's help and for being so accommodating with us. Look forward to more training in the near future!

It is not often that I leave 1-star reviews... but when it comes to my dog/puppy, I think leaving…read morethis honest feedback is important, as pets are part of one's family. This review is based on my experience back in Fall 2021. My puppy was 3-4 months at the time... we went to maybe 5 of the training classes and by that point, were so frustrated across the board that we never came back. Reasons for my 1-star review: -HUGE class sizes with 1 trainer. Supposed to be a class for puppies less than 1 year old but that was definitely not the case for many of the dogs. Not only was the trainer not able to give anyone individual attention, but my puppy was unable to handle this level of distractions at this age. The class is one-size-fits-all, no matter how young/old your pet is, maturity, size, behavior. We couldn't even get our dog to focus on us, definitely not able to train any behaviors. Clearly some older dogs were doing much better than ours but they shouldn't have even been in the same class. -Really dirty parking lot where the weekday trainings took place, which was even more concerning because my puppy was not fully vaccinated at this point. They didn't seem to be worried about it, but we were on high alert as this was also the parking lot of a PET STORE. Which meant a lot of feces everywhere and always a risk of disease or virus for puppies. -Training style was very harsh and not positive reinforcement. Did not let us use our harness and forced us to jerk our puppy's collar to get her to listen. That might work for some dogs, but ours was so crazed by all the dogs that she wouldn't even realize she was choking herself. Finally when we showed this to the trainer multiple times, he agreed maybe another tactic would be better for her. -Even worse than training style, EXTREMELY rude and aggressive owner (we're pretty sure it was the owner). It's one thing to coach us, it's another thing to force yourself and your style on us. Due to all the issues above, we started taking our puppy to the training and just standing on the outside - not actually participating in the training but just trying to practice on her focusing on us with all the distractions. For some reason, the owner didn't accept this and cornered us with his dog and tried to force his training tactics on her, which we were actively avoiding and it felt like he was trying to intimidate us. All to say, we didn't return after this. To be fair, I don't blame the trainer - I think he was doing the best with what he was given, but the program needs a serious revamp and the owner needs an attitude adjustment.
