We were away when one of the largest fires in 2016 happened (Fish Fire and Reservoir Fire Burn in San Gabriel Mountains) and Christy not only looked after our fur kitties but made sure to update us regularly. She even went out of her way to check on them when the electricity power was cut off to make sure that there was good ventilation in the property for the cats. And also ensured the house was safe and secure all the time. We have since recommended her to 3 of our friends who have taken her excellent service.

From our first conversation over the phone, I knew I could trust Ayumi. She is not only knowledgeable, but so kind and patient and cares about all her dog students. Stormy has come such a long way since her board & train: being able to relax and settle at home, basic obedience, and walking so much better. Ayumi's training isn't just for the dogs; As dog owners, her training has been sooo helpful for us to understand Stormy better. Can't recommend her enough!

After adopting a new dog, to my great dismay, one of my existing dogs turned Cujo on me and would…read moretry to attack the new guy. I was at my wit's end and messaged Reid as well as a couple of other dog trainers on yelp. Reid got back to me in less than 20 minutes and this was a Sat night after 7pm. When I asked his availability he said he was free Mon, Tues and Wed. As I was desperate, I asked if there was any chance he could come over that same night. He very kindly took pity on me and came over within 40 min. Reid is very knowledgeable. The most valuable part of my experience with him was realizing how severely anxious my existing dog was. I always knew he was fearful but did not understand the extent of his anxiety. Meeting Reid and getting his assessment has motivated me to focus on improving my dog's well-being. Reid also followed up with me a few days later.

When she realizes that we are driving towards Reids she gets super excited! She runs up to him and jumps with joy! When we first moved to LA, I was struggled to find a place where I felt Lemon was safe and cared for. I luckily found Reid and have been extremely happy! I actually can relax on my vacation know that Lemon is having the best time ever and if anything happened to her she would be taken care of. There is an interview process for the dogs, which I love, because I know that Reid knows what to look for, so I know that Lemon is not only safe with the other dogs but is also having fun. In addition, she learned a few good habits! If I could give more stars I would. Highly highly recommend!! We have done boarding and have done the hikes!

I thought I can just follow tutorials online, but none of the methods worked. I decided to get a professional and found Master Dog Training through Yelp. I read all the reviews and was impressed with how many dogs he had trained. Different breeds and ages. I texted him and he provided me all the information and we confirmed a date. I saw a promotional price for Temple City, but since I am at another city, it is a different price. I did text him a day before our appointment to remind him just in case, per our agreement. My puppy is getting the "DOG OBEDIENCE TRAINING: Commands and Problem Behaviors, pulling on leash, dumpster diving, counter surfing, mild barking, potty training, jumping, digging, chewing, nipping, not listening. NOT FOR DOGS WITH AGGRESSION or FEAR!" A total of 5 sessions, once a week, 55 minutes per sessions. This training is done at my place and indoor. By the end of his training, he learned 18 commands in 5 weeks! Please note that it also depends on your effort and if you're training your dog daily with what was taught. Mike is great with our puppy! Turns out he owns the same breed as me. From my perspective, he trained my husband, me and my puppy altogether. If you're doing something wrong, he would tell you. He is patient, always on time, and so kind to my puppy. I especially love the graduation ceremony. I was holding in my tears. Overall, we are very happy with Mike and the result.

We are very happy with Michael's approach to training. He is effective and nurturing, but firm and very patient. We prefer his style of training as it is supportive and encouraging. When discipline is needed, we have firm commands that Michael taught us. He also provides tips for helpful products like corrector spray and developmental and age appropriate toys. His "graduation" ceremonies are so fun! We had a standing weekly appointment, but Michael was flexible when things came up and responds to any calls/texts in a timely manner. We plan to return for advanced training to continue our puppy's learning.

She went 3 days a week. You can pick how many days a week, and which days your puppy attends. You drop your puppy off between 8-9am and pickup between 4-5pm. This gave us free days to deal with the ramifications of the Eaton Fire. They exposed her to all kinds of sounds (fireworks, appliances, birds, etc.) and worked with her on loose leash walking, coming & staying, and being crated. The crating really worked! We thought we wouldn't be able to handle her crying, but after being in puppy pre-school she goes in quietly, hangs out and naps. We also as owners, learned the importance of sleep for a puppy! They sleep a LOT, and are much better pups when they are rested. We'd love the option of a few 1 on 1 classes with a trainer, since we have a lot to learn also!

We had tried what felt like everything and his separation anxiety was so bad that it got to the point that my partner and I basically gave up our social lives, had to coordinate with one another one of us would be going to the market or if it would be a trip where we both can go but someone sits in the car with our dog. We met the team at K9 Logic Dog Training and they assessed our dog and determined what kind of training program would be best for him to address his separation anxiety and the other skills we wanted to work on. Within a week we noticed progress. We finally were able to leave the house for an hour and go to the market together. Week by week the time has gradually gotten longer where we have been able to leave him alone for longer periods of time to reclaim our social life back. I was skeptical at first, but after that first week I became a believer. We are so happy with the results that for the purpose of just giving him structure and routine we signed him up for more classes and he LOVES being at school. We've also participated in the weekend group training sessions and they are so helpful to not only give our dog routine, but it's a great way to reinforce structure and keep him sharp with everything he learned at school. Signing up for training with K9 Logic Dog Training was the best decision we could made for our dog to set him up for success.

After a consultation at the residence-turned-dog-training-facilty we decided on the 3 week boarding program. We boarded our Maltipoo pup, Remy, during the peak of teething-destory everything era while we were out of town for wedding. The trainers were really great and patient with him. You could have also tell Remy was very comfortable with them. When we picked up Remy he was happy, healthy and very excited to see us. He also exhibited more attention and checked in with us more. Pulling on the leash became non-existent and his new default is now to sit in a heel position. The only improvement I'd suggest is that I wish I received more updates regarding Remy while he was boarded. We received a photo and say a couple of videos on Instagram, but more would have been welcomed. Regardless, we're happy with the training and the additional homework/tips to practice while at home. Remy continues to be a regular at the group trainings and other outings hosted by K9 Logic. I feel comfortable with my pup socializing with different dogs in the presence of the K9 Logic team.

At a year and a half he was a handful to work with on my own. Despite having significant experience with dog training, I learned just as much as my dog did during his time at Smart Dog Training School. They are extraordinarily dedicated not just to training your dog, but to their health and happiness. Steve's dedication to each and every dog and owner is blatant. I went from an uncontrollable dog to an attentive obedient one, and after boarding training was complete Steve came and helped me establish ground rules at my home to get me and my dog off on the right foot as we transitioned him to training with me. I felt like I was set up for success, and he answered every question I had and encouraged me along the way. I cannot recommend this place enough. They won't just train your dog, but they train you! And I learned even more about dog psychology and my specific dog's psychology and how to handle him so that we can continue to bond through training and beyond.

I would highly recommend Kevin as a dog trainer!…read more My partner and i rescued a 18 monthish old Australian shepherd named Dune who had some bad habits that we needed help nipping in the bud. Dune would try to herd guests around the house by nipping at their butts (lol), had pretty bad separation anxiety (would panic and bark constantly after more than a few minutes alone), and had some leash reactivity and liked to pull constantly on walks pretty much all of that is solved now after a few sessions with Kevin! Kevin was able to move his schedule around and get us our first session like 2 days after we reached out and after the first 2 sessions his separation anxiety and nipping at people around the house were basically gone and after the first dedicated session to leash manners we got that mostly taken care of as well. The way Kevin taught us how to communicate with Dune was so valuable and he really set us up well to know how to work with him going forward on new stuff! And the lifetime support if new situations arise is such a big stress reliever for us! Could not recommend Kevin more!!
