Learning her first official task as well as all the ground work for future ones. Communication from Nick during Sayde's stay was incredible! He kept me up to date with pictures and information throughout the entire experience. He, even still months later, checks in on us and ensures we are still making progress and that their training remains in place. A quality hard to find in many training programs. I would highly recommend Mayday Dog Training for anyone looking to improve their dogs obedience or complex training.

I am so glad I came across Nick. My pup Apollo is a 7 months old European Working bloodline German…read moreshepherd with an incredible prey drive. I wanted a personal protection dog that's not only obedient, but good with kids and family. A trained dog that can go anywhere with me. Wether it's a car ride, hiking, swimming or maybe go to the mall. I wanted a dog that can do many tricks and impress my friends and family while protecting us anywhere we go. I started researching online and discovered that such a dog can cost anywhere from $50k to a $120k (not kidding). Not willing to spend this kind of money, I decided to go a different route. I started my search for a good working lines German shepherd dog breeder and found one locally. I got my pup around 8 weeks old and wanted to find a good dog trainer right away. After countless days of speaking to different trainers, I came across Nick through Facebook and decided to give him a try. From the moment I spoke to Nick, I knew that he was a great fit for Apollo. He explained to me that this is a project dog and cannot be completed overnight and will require different courses throughout my puppy's development which I happily agreed to. I sent Apollo in for the very first time at 3 months old for his first 2 weeks program. It made a huge difference. I couldn't believe that it was the same dog. Apollo was crate trained, obedient and was able to learn more than 7 commands in German. Apollo is 7 months old now and I just dropped him off to Nick for another 2 weeks. I can't wait to see what my pup can learn this time! It's really hard to find a dog trainer that can handle Apollo's level of energy. I will not let anyone touch Apollo but Nick.

We chose to train our new dog Daisy that we adopted from the SPCA with the 8 basic & advanced…read morelessons and it was worth every penny! Our trainer, Monica, was excellent with Daisy and what I loved most about her was that she would explain to us how she was training our dog and also why she would do something a certain way. A lot of times she would comment about how this reinforces some sort of behavior or would boost Daisy's confidence, etc. At one point of our training Daisy didn't take well to the previous lesson (down lesson) and Daisy wasn't receptive to the next training session and was extremely nervous and jittery. Monica picked up on this right away and instead of just charging through, took a step back to assess the situation and told us that this lesson would be free since Daisy wasn't herself and even considered bringing another trainer in. We were extremely appreciative of this gesture and found it to be very considerate and professional. We were a little nervous starting out the training because Daisy is an extremely sensitive and submissive dog, but at the end of the training (which was today) her confidence levels are much higher and she seems to be a much happier dog!!! Daisy is far from perfect but her discipline and manners are getting better every day and we love seeing her progress and growth. We highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training. We did a ton of research and even met with other companies but we could not have been happier with our choice.

We had a gone through 2 trainers (and thousands of dollars) before coming to Sydney for our…read moreEuropean Doberman puppy. Wish we had found Sydney sooner to save ourselves the hassle and time with trainers who don't know how to handle a purebred working breed. Our boy's main issue was reactivity with other dogs while walking him on a leash in the neighborhood. Sydney trained and educated us by giving us the tools to manage our stubborn, and strong, puppy. We've been going to Sydney for over a year to keep up the obedience and our boy is doing things we never thought would be possible before, such as sitting quietly in a room full of other dogs, and walking past reactive dogs in the neighborhood without incident. Thank you Sydney.

Sidney is the BEST dog trainer hands down!! We have tried other trainers for Ellie and comparing…read moreour experiences, Sidney has changed our lives for the better. He is a retired k9 police officer from Chicago and does REAL WORLD training. No tricks or treats. We first knew of Sidney when we saw him hold classes right outside of the dog park and we thought it would be the perfect training for Ellie. She would get easily distracted even by a leaf or a butterfly and take off. Also, she needed some obedience training. Fast forward, we have been training with Sidney for almost a year and we keep coming back. He knows how to read your dog to bring out the best in each of them. We went in wanting to learn obedience, and we keep wanting to learn more to see what else she is capable of doing. We truly enjoy the time we spend with Ellie in training classes each week and incorporating these skills in our routines at home. Ellie is a very well trained dog and we can actually walk her off leash with confidence that she will not wander off. We have also competed and placed in AKC rally competitions in her first weekend. If you're willing to put in the work with your dog and want to meet other hard working dog owners, come check out Total Control K9 College. We practice at Bill Archer Dog Park every Saturday morning around 9-11 AM and Wednesdays at Preppy Pet parking lot on Highway 6 and Rippling Waters at 7PM - rain or shine. Also, check out his Facebook live videos on the Total Control K9 College page to watch him work his magic on dogs who come in with behavioral issues or with high energy and within minutes he calms them down. I have witnessed this with my own eyes every week... I just can't make this stuff up!

I was bringing her in to get her grooming services done. And all because my dog barked. They made a big deal and said that they were not going to do her services. I was completely fine and understandable about that. My other dog , they were fine upon taking her in) but they kept bringing up unnecessary remarks... after that, I just did not feel comfortable taking on the service with them, so I just asked for my dog back and I left to schedule an appointment with a different Petco. I called the Cypress location, and they scheduled the appointment for both of my dogs. But in the beginning of my conversation with them, they mentioned that both of my dogs have been blacklisted. But that they will still take them in for an appointment and kind of see how they interact on that day. After getting off the phone with the Cypress location, I go back to this location to speak to the manager. Upon the situation because it's very disgusting and unprofessional. Jessica made sure, both of my dogs, especially the one I just rescued was completely blacklisted from getting any grooming services done from Petco. She even had the audacity to call the Cypress location to make the story even more dramatic and add more notes and said that my dog nipped one of the employees which was not true. Having the Cypress location call me and tell me that is completely ridiculous. So unprofessional and sad.

It's the week after Christmas, we left Bob a message and we're thinking, I doubt we'll hear back from Bark Busters till the new year.

From convenient parking, to the cheerful greetings, to the spotless interior, to Sarah, our capable, gracious tech, to Doctor Baskin, the vet with 20 years experience, on her second day with this practice, every thing and one was 5 star!
