I had a terrible trainer for a very short time prior, and was hesitant to try someone new. My boy Finn was a crazy Labrador. John taught me how to be in tune with my dog, and I have learned how to be with Finn as a team. I can't express enough gratitude. I'm now educated and Finn still loves going to group class every Saturday after three years with this trainer. FIVE STARS! FIVE STARS!

We are so incredibly grateful for NexGen K9 and the impact they've had on our rescue dog, Teddy…read more Teddy is a German Shepherd/Australian Cattle Dog mix who came to us with a lot of anxiety and insecurity, along with signs of reactivity toward other dogs and people. We knew from the start that helping him adjust would take time, patience, and the right guidance -- and that's exactly what we found at NexGen K9. We chose to do private lessons because we wanted to be hands-on in learning the tools that would best support Teddy, and Samantha was amazing from day one. She truly met us -- and Teddy -- where we were, with compassion, patience, and professionalism. Her approach was collaborative, thoughtful, and always focused on helping Teddy grow in a way that felt manageable and positive. Samantha went above and beyond for Teddy. Thanks to her support, Teddy is now far more confident and much less reactive. We're still working through his anxiety in new environments, but because of the foundation NexGen K9 helped us build, I feel so much more confident in helping him continue to thrive. We're beyond thankful that Teddy is part of our family -- and that NexGen K9 played such a key role in making that possible.

There's so many positives about Aardvark's. We take our 6-yr old cocker spaniel (see attached…read morephoto) to daycare at minimum 1x week & it's the best thing for us & our fur baby. Here's our review: The staff is very knowledgeable, kind & very loving towards our baby & our family. I always feel comfortable leaving her w/ the staff whether it's for a full day or overnight visits. Our dog loooooves the staff. Maybe it's the treats LOL - Either way, she's in good hands. The cost is reasonable, in comparison to other mobile daycare providers. I prefer consistency, and Aardvark provides that. The staff and owner are very professional. What I loved most was the "progress report" the owner provided me one day. It warmed my heart to know how involved the owner is & how comfortable my pup has become with the other dogs. I also like how they have separate areas for the large, small & medium pups & lounge area for pups that may be older & want to be left alone. There's a space for everyone ! The location/facility is HUGE & is conveniently located on Mare Island. If you're looking for a safe daycare facility for your fur baby , look no further - schedule your consultation. It was the best thing for us.

Updating my review to say how incredibly happy I am with Powerhouse K9! My puppy is now 8 months…read moreold and has spent a total of 5 weeks here (3 weeks for board-and-train and 2 weeks for regular boarding). As a first-time puppy owner, I wasn't sure what to expect or if puppies just naturally outgrow certain behavioral issues. Either way, this is the only formal training she has ever had, and the results speak for themselves. She came back so incredibly well-behaved. And has reminded well behaved. When we go out in public, people always come up to see her because she's cute, but what they *constantly* comment on is how exceptionally well-behaved she is for an 8-month-old puppy. It is so validating to hear that from strangers! I love and fully agree with Anthony's methods and what he does here. If you want a well-behaved dog, Powerhouse K9 is the only place to go. Highly recommend! Full disclosure: I have a pure poodle and they are known to be smart. I brought her to PowerHouseK9 initially at 4.5 months, only weeks after adopting her so my reviews are specific to this. I cannot speak to any other situation or dog breed.

What I learned about the training is that it is also about me as the owner getting trained to work with the dog. My dog still remembers and obeys my commands.

We had adopted our Kody boy 8 months ago from a shelter. It was a very hard five months trying to…read moreget him settled with a routine. We all had different ways of how to train him and it was causing a rift in the family. I was turned down by some trainers until I came across Jonathan Wong's page. He was local, he was fast to get back to me and he was willing to give us a chance after everything I told him. Kody still has a long way to go and I will continue with Jonathan as his trainer, but it is night and day after three months of training with Jonathan. He was dog and people aggressive, to the point we had to avoid them entirely. We can now go for walks, albeit we move opposite of any dog and can keep walking without any barking or pulling. He was always actively pulling on the leash and bad at recall. He is loose leashed now and responds with recall with our daughter. In the end I had to get use to the idea that Kody was a crate or muzzle dog when it came to large crowds or people in our home. I felt awful but Jonathan was so supportive and positive as I came to terms with it. I hope as we continue to train with Jonathan and Kody builds his confidence that soon things might change for him. Jonathan has such a kind soul and so encouraging when it comes to both us and Kody. I cannot thank Jonathan enough for what he has done for us. He left solid foundations for us to grow on. Kody is such a sweet and smart boy, and we always want the best for him. Jonathan truly is the best.

Overall, the store is fine and the groomers do a decent job! However, the checkout process for…read moregrooming should be reconsidered. When picking up my dog, I was asked to pay for the service before they brought her out. At the register I was asked if I wanted to leave the groomer a tip. I had to let the cashier know that I hadn't seen my dog yet, so I couldn't choose a tip amount. I like to tip on services, but I'm not going to tip for grooming before seeing my dog and making sure there weren't any issues. The groomers would receive more/better tips if the pickup process was adjusted.

Never coming back to this location. I'll never give this location a chance anymore…read more I booked a grooming appointment online last night for my medium poodle for today--the system showed availabilitIES, as it always does. The groomer called at 9:09 AM to cancel today, claiming she didn't have time and told me I shouldn't book last-minute for a dog her size or online. Minutes later at 9:24 AM, I received automated text saying they were "excited to see" my dog. I have been taking my dog to Petco for three years, and I always handle her grooming and vet appointments online. I am also a vital member and I have never heard about NOT to book last minute or NOT to book online because of my dog is a medium poodle. This location, however, consistently cancels on us whenever a full bath and haircut are involved--they only kept an appointment back in April because it was bath-only. They've made it clear they just don't want to work with poodles because of the extra effort required, despite the fact that I always add upgraded services and tip generously. Save yourself the hassle. I'll gladly drive a bit further to the Fairfield or Vacaville Petco locations from now on. They always welcome my dog and treat her like family.
