I love that she lets them sniff and choose which essential oil she uses on them. The spa music she plays while they are getting their massage adds to the relaxing atmosphere. My dog Raimi loves to see Lynn arrive at our door. She also wants to go home with her when the massage is over! I have seen a benefit from the massages, especially since my pups play hard and do agility. Lynn is very thorough in her massages and has alerted me to any problem areas on my pups that need further attention. In addition she provides notes following each session so you have a record of her visit and findings (if any). My pups and I love Lynn! Her passion for pups and their well being definitely shows in her interaction with my pups and the great massages they receive.

Trusting and working with Lori has truly been life-changing for our fearful dog (Diego had been…read morebeaten by his past owner, before we rescued him). He was fearful of most people, especially men. He was stubborn on leash, and was most often not responding to commands. Lori's effective approach, focused on trust, building his confidence and teaching him how to properly behave with other dogs and humans. The 3-week stay he had at her place made an unbelievable difference. Diego's fear of people has drastically decreased, his confidence grown exponentially, walks are super enjoyable with him heeling constantly, and he responds reliably to commands. Lori not only trained Diego but also empowered us with the skills to continue his progress. I am so grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone struggling with their dog's behavior. She has transformed our lives and Diego's! Thank YOU Lori!

I cannot recommend David enough. He completely transformed all 4 of my dogs, who were honestly…read morewild, crazy, and extremely rambunctious before working with him. The difference in their behavior now is unbelievable. What truly sets him apart is how much he genuinely cares -- not just about training the dogs, but about helping them succeed and making the process enjoyable for both the dogs and the owners. You can tell immediately that he has a real passion for what he does. He was patient, caring, knowledgeable, and somehow made training fun instead of stressful. The most mind-blowing part was my one dog who was already four years old and still not potty trained. Within just 4 days, he had her fully trained to go outside. I honestly still can't believe it. We had struggled for years, and he accomplished what we thought was impossible in less than a week. I also never felt comfortable to leave my dog in anyone else's home, but David made me feel so comfortable and secure to drop my fur baby at his home for the board and train and I honestly was open to having her there longer since we trusted him so much, but we didn't even need to since he got the results done so fast. I was able to get all my 4 dogs on a plane as Service Dogs with his guidance and training and I am now living in Costa Rica with all my 4 furbabies which would have never been possible without his training. If you are considering dog training, stop searching and book with him. He is hands down the absolute best, and I truly could not recommend him more! Our dogs -- and our home -- are completely changed because of him. We all truly miss him! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts David!

Right from our meet and greet, David worked to understand what our struggles were so he could make a training plan just for Cali. We felt comfortable and confident dropping her off. His calm energy, deep knowledge, and clear methods were obvious right away. When we picked up Cali, David spent time going over everything he worked on with her. He joined us for a walk, giving us helpful tips in real-time on how we could adjust what we were doing to keep her progress going. He even gave us a detailed file of notes, which have allowed for us to seamlessly continue her training at home. David's patience and positive approach paid off, we've seen such a change. Cali is calmer and more focused when there's stuff going on around her. We can't recommend him enough to anyone dealing with leash issues or a reactive dog.

I cannot thank Courtney at Quality K9 enough! She helped me turn an unfortunate situation into a…read morevery manageable one with her experience, guidance and understanding! Long story short, I took in my mom's high-energy and undisciplined dog Jaeger, a German wirehair pointer, due to potentially dangerous behavior, like bolting out of the front door, and pulling on a leash. He didn't listen to being called back inside, so I knew it was only a matter of time before a big accident could happen. He also had little to no basic obedience. Once I took him in, we started to work on those things, but other issues arose. I found out he had some pretty significant separation anxiety that would lead to him going to the bathroom inside the house or in his kennel, and he would work himself up so much he would bark and pant all day long. As a busy parent and someone who works full time, I was afraid I didn't have enough time to really work on these issues and was starting to consider rehoming him. After all, I only wanted what was best for him and knew he needed time and consistency to become the best dog he could be. That's where Quality K9 came in! Courtney listened to all of my concerns, took a history of what commands he already knows, what I wanted him to know and made a very detailed plan week by week of what they will work on. I left Jaeger with Courtney feeling confident and comfortable that things were going to improve. After his board and train was done, what I did not expect was that he would become a whole new dog when he returned! He is amazing off leash, has a near perfect heel, and his recall is on point! He no longer bolts out the door, and he is sooo much better in a kennel! The best part is that Courtney still reaches out to me to check in on how things are going, if there's any issues and if so she's happy to keep working on them. I feel so confident in myself and I know Jaeger feels better structured now that he has some ground rules in his life. We are so happy with his results!

First off, let me state that I'm beyond happy with the team here…read more Now for the details. We were recommended by our breeder up north in Tracy that Taylor Made was a reputable spot in Southern California if we were seriously interested in getting our working line German Shepherd trained for obedience, schutzhund, or protection. I've read countless books on dog training and best practices - however, it never seemed enough or optimal. He had quirks that we didn't know how to address and we also wanted to teach him some games to entertain his mind. We were thinking of protection or schutzhund as a sport too, but didn't have any resources to go to. Taylor Made's team (Ian, Stetson, Liz) have been the most communicative and helpful group I could have hoped for. They provided us a solid foundation and insight toward how we should train our puppy to best meet my needs and my family's. The group obedience class was an eye opener as it addressed issues that I didn't know I was causing by my own training methods. Our puppy's responsiveness to the training was quick as well and there is a noticeable difference after one class. We plan to continue the group obedience but also do private lessons moving forward too so we can learn more about the various sports and higher levels of obedience. I plan to post a follow up down the road - currently, I would definitely recommend this team for training your working line dogs, or any dog for that matter. I have nothing but good things to say about their training methods and how communicative they are as a team.

They trained my dog, she was boarded there once before and boarded there again in January. She got out. They said she freaked out. I do not believe that. She was missing for 20 plus days. They said they where looking, they said they where doing everything they could. I call bull! We Contacted Babs Fry. Who they did also and lied and said it was a dogs friend that got out. Well, she went starving, lost 30% of her weight. Got close to the freeway and the night we finally caught her on camera to find her. They sat and waited with a trap in place- for her only to be KILLED on the 15 freeway by a car. We were so close to getting her home. They are responsible for this! They need cameras on the dogs they claim to care about. I would never recommend this place to anyone.
