    Our pup after just 3 sessions with Dan.

    My boyfriend and I came to Dan with our pup who was both people and dog reactive. It was hard for her to be outside without seemingly reacting to EVERYTHING. It felt like she was going to be unable to ever overcome her fears... but we decided to come to Dan in hopes of being able to help her and gain some guidance. In just our FIRST session, Dan was able to allow us to gain more control and trust with not only our girl, but with us as well. He taught us how to handle her in any situation -- and since then, she has been able to go on walks, go on hikes, and even just go outside. As much as he helped our puppy, he helped us as well. She can now see people without reacting and can now handle seeing other dogs as well. We really owe it to Dan in changing me and our dog's lives. If you need help with these issues, Dan is your man. Thank you so much for everything!

    I'm happy to update that Beau continues to improve. He's hardly reacting to dogs that we've bumped into on our walks, even dogs who bark at him. A combination of Dan's protocols and the pet corrector (air spray) over the last couple weeks has really transformed my dog, it's almost unbelievable. We're down to just verbal commands and he's able to keep his cool. He's also starting to look to us for direction once the "leave it" command is given. We just had one of the best walks ever and I had to jump on here to share that hard works pays off. It's so worth it.

    Iris on adoption day!

    I have tried several different trainers and Daniel is the first one I have felt really connected with my dog and myself. He offers patience, calmness, clear explanations of steps for each lesson. His support and encouraging remarks go far to the success of the class. Our dog Iris, is a rescue with major biting issues and I was seriously considering returning her. She really turned the corner with her fear filled aggressive ways after working with Daniel. The barking has diminished tremendously from all three dogs after implementing the tools provided by Daniel. No more biting and Iris has changed her response to strangers. We're keeping her! I would highly recommended meeting with Daniel to discuss your and your dog's needs. I'm so glad my daughter saw his sign on the side of his truck and asked for his card. I contacted Daniel and felt very much at ease during our conversation and felt his training sounded very reasonable.

    My husband and I worked with Dan with our two retired racing greyhounds on interaction with non greyhound breed dogs. Dan was very knowledgeable,professional and kind during our training sessions. He gave us wonderful tips / homework to do with our dogs between sessions. SUCCESS!,,,,, Our greys are now interacting very well with other breed dogs,large and small. We highly recommend Dan Ross for dog training. He is a true credit to his profession

    Dan is awesome! Before adopting Thunder, I called four or five different trainers that either didn't work with dog aggressive- dogs or weren't responsive. After four sessions, I feel much more confident in Thunder AND our communication. I now know how to set Thunder up for success and Dan gave us the tools to continue our training. Thanks OCK9!

    Thank you Dan for training my families Belgian Malinois. Cinnamon was a excellent dog when we met but now she is even better!

    I would highly recommend Dan for anyone looking for dog training. I have a 6 month old golden doodle who was not obedient at all. After just one session with Dan I saw a HUGE difference in my dog. He does a great job of teaching you during the sessions and also sets you up to successfully continue training on your own at home.

    So now he is claiming we have never met and I have something personal against him (which I find strange since he emailed me (click on the images, his message was written in the subject line and I'll attach our text history) also how can we have never met but simultaneously have a personal vendetta? I loath dishonesty and a man who impugns my honor for no other reason than his own pride being hurt.

    Socialized dog

    I was desperate with my chain dog Albert I got from the shelter and was ready to bring him back after 3 month. He never learnd how to communicate with other dogs. I took the 4-session training and after the third session he already showed great socializing skills with other dogs. Daniel is a very good trainer. We are so happy now.

    Happy pup, happy life!!

    I have a bulldog puppy. Yes he's very cute but looks are deceiving! My puppy is VERY stubborn!! He was jumping on everyone,, chewing on all of our remote controls and pretty much dominating the whole house. We decided to get some help with our little bully. I interviewed 3 different trainers with different styles of training. We chose Mr.Ross. From the very first day of training, Titus (our puppy) has literally turned a corner. He is more affectionate and becoming more obedient everyday. You can not go wrong with OCK-9 services. Daniel Ross has a very simplified and detailed program and it WORKS!! He is by far one of the best trainers out there!! I highly recommend him!

    Very untrusting face, we had to keep him away from my other dogs.

    I wanna be Daniel Ross when I grow up lol. I am in school for dog behavioral and dog training. I ended up with a Doberman Pinscher on my doorstep who was abused. I have four dogs of my own and trying to complete school. I took this 2 year old Dobie in, and decided I would try to train him and make him adoptable. Well this is a strong, fierce breed. After three days with this Dobie I knew I needed REAL help. I live in L.A. county, upon looking up dog trainers, Dan's business popped and the reviews were stellar. Long story short I hired Dan. The moment I met him he walked up my driveway with such confidence and power. My neighbor was standing outside when Dan walked up. We both stood there in aww of this dog trainer walking up to my house like he was the body guard of The President of The United States!!!!! I was impressed, I watch body language closely. He has worked two times so far with my Dobie, we have a ways to go because we are taking this Dobie ALL the way to service dog training. Dan explains what's going on, has patience with me, because I'm worn out with this beast of a dog. He has me do excersises again and again. I will post two pics to show how this Dobie has changed since meeting Daniel. Dan follows up with a recap e mail after every session. He gives me tools that he thinks I could use and tells me to pay him another time. That's someone who wants to bring dog and man together and harmony in the home. I feel safe with my dogs now that Daniel is in our lives. There's nothing he can't handle, he would just switch gears and try another way and wouldn't skip a beat. I've been a dog owner a long time. Thanks to Dan I'm going to keep this Dobermann who was beaten and mistreated for two years. It's work everyday to get him better, but Dan makes it easy and understandable. The confidence Dan puts out, ends up transferring to your dog. He teaches you how to be the pack leader. Dan will forever be my personal dog trainer, just look at the difference in these pictures of my Dobie before Dan, and after.

    I rescued a dog, half Border Collie, half Australian Cattle Dog. Shortly after we got her, she started showing signs of aggression - particularly towards men. She became very territorial and would growl at everyone who came to our house (except for my kids and me) and would try to bite men. I thought I was going to have to get rid of her because of her aggression. However, she is a rescue, and I wanted to give her every chance to stay in our home. I hired Dan based on his experience with herders and aggressive dogs. In one session, he showed me techniques to help her overcome her aggression, and it worked in just one session. Of course, she is a work in progress and still needs consistent training, but she has shown that she is very smart and eager to please. Thank you, Dan! I highly recommend OCK-9SERVICES to everyone.

    A very happy Bruno right after his 3rd session with Dan and his beautiful dogs!

I'd worked with two trainers, including a 3 week board-and-train program ($5,000 investment), followed every instruction, and practiced daily, yet I didn't see changes. I was managing the behavior without ever understanding what was causing it. That changed within the first two hours with Brad. He didn't start with commands or tools. Instead, he focused on the psychology behind Sunny's reactions: what was driving them, what was reinforcing them, and what I was unknowingly communicating. No one had ever explained it that clearly. That was the turning point. For the first time, I wasn't guessing or correcting blindly. I could see what Sunny was experiencing in real time and understand how my timing, energy, and responses were shaping his behavior. That clarity changed everything. Walks feel completely different now. Sunny is no longer pulls since my training with Brad, the reactive outbursts are gone, and the experience itself is calm. I'm no longer bracing for problems because I know how to prevent them. I am SO appreciative!

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.

In fact, I saw that you previously posted video footage of our encounter on your Instagram, but you removed it after receiving backlash for those comments.

Thankfully, I have since found another trainer who practices positive reinforcement, which aligns much better with my values and my dog's needs.

Dave is always available for our questions and follow ups, and he sends over progress notes and photos every day from training sessions. We also would ask him about problem behavior such as counter surfing or jumping up on people to greet, and Dave would target those specific behaviors as well.

Last year, we brought them frequently and always felt confident leaving them there. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the facility felt clean, and our dogs always seemed happy to be there. That's why it's so disappointing to see how much things have changed since the ownership transition. Since the change in ownership, we've noticed a significant decline in the overall experience. The staff no longer feels as friendly or approachable. While there are still a few kind employees, several team members come across as cold and unhelpful, making drop-off feel uncomfortable and even a bit intimidating. It no longer feels like the warm, welcoming environment it once was. We've also noticed the facility doesn't seem nearly as clean as it used to be. Our dogs consistently come home smelling strongly of urine after daycare. We occasionally check the live cameras throughout the day and frequently see urine sitting on the playroom floors for extended periods before being cleaned up. If messes in the common play areas are left unattended, it raises concerns about how often the kennels are being cleaned when the dogs are resting. Combined with the odor our dogs come home with, it has made us question the overall cleanliness of the facility. Another noticeable change is how little time our dogs now seem to spend in the play areas. We'll pay for a half-day of daycare, and by the time we pick them up, we're lucky if they've spent more than 30 minutes interacting with other dogs. The majority of their visit appears to be spent kenneled. We choose daycare because we want our dogs to have a safe, clean environment where they can socialize and play. If they're spending most of their visit in a kennel, it's difficult to justify paying for daycare when they could be comfortably resting at home in a cleaner environment for free. Customer service has also become frustrating. Recently, one of our dogs came home without his collar. We didn't realize it until we got home, so we called the facility and were told someone would call us back because they were too busy at the moment. We never received a callback. After calling several more times over the next few days without getting an answer, we ultimately had to drive to the facility ourselves just to ask about and retrieve the collar. Pickup has also become much slower than it used to be, often requiring a long wait before our dogs are brought out. We're genuinely disappointed because we loved this location for a long time and trusted the team with our pets. Unfortunately, since the ownership change, we've experienced a noticeable decline in cleanliness, customer service, and the overall level of care. We hope these concerns are taken seriously because we'd love to see this location return to the high standard that made us loyal customers in the first place.

When the incident happened with diego being grabbed by a big dog, you guys gave it no importance, since that dog continued to be in open play ( I saw him on the camera all the time ) I am surprised the staff saw diego showing teeth, most of the staff there are on their phone all the time, not paying attention while they supposed to be "watching the dogs". With the exception of a couple of people that showed cared but they were not there when diego supposedly showed his teeth. Diego is a very lovable small dog, he is not a big vicious dog, and is very strange that at Paws Chateau he NEVER shows teeth or does any of the things you said, in fact, all of the staff there love Diego, and he has fun with the other dogs. In your daycare you guys never even checked to see if he was up to date with vaccines, just like you probably don't check anyone else's . So it surprises me that this facility says they care for the animals.The truth is that you are right, digo likes to cuddle or be loved and the staff was too busy on the phone to be paying attention to him.
