She's settled back into our household beautifully, and her training has been going incredibly well. We practice her commands every day, and she's noticeably calmer, more responsive, and an absolute joy to take on walks. Overall, the time she spent away was well worth it. She came home with a solid foundation, and we've gained the knowledge and tools to continue reinforcing her training. We'll definitely be sending her back for boarding and refresher training while we're abroad later this year because we couldn't trust Juan and his team more. Juan has also been excellent with communication, always taking the time to answer our questions and provide guidance. We highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for quality dog training.

Let me start by saying I would give Juan and his team a 100/10, and here's why:…read more When I was looking for training for my 4-month-old Cavapoo, I did a lot of research before making a decision. From day one, Juan provided exceptional customer service. He was never pushy, took the time to explain the training process, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and was always easy to reach whenever I needed him. I ultimately chose the 5-week off-leash obedience program. As difficult as it was to leave my puppy for that long, it was absolutely worth it. My dog came home calmer, more confident, and with a much better understanding of commands such as stay, down, place, come, yes, and no. She listens significantly better and is clearly more focused and well-mannered. Oh and let me not forgot to mention she is now crate trained and potty trained. She now sleeps comfortably in her crate and understands that potty time happens outside. The facility itself is beautiful, private, and extremely clean. I also want to give a special shoutout to Dom for the incredible care and dedication he showed my dog during her stay. If you're considering professional training for your dog, I highly recommend reaching out to Juan and his team. The investment was one of the best decisions I've made for my dog. and I'm so grateful for the foundation they've helped build for her future.

We definitely recommend Andi!…read more We originally reached out to Andi for consultations regarding both of our Maltipoos, Kiki and Coco. During our initial phone consultation, Andi was incredibly honest and genuine. After learning more about our dogs, she felt that Kiki was the one who would benefit most from formal training and suggested that we could apply what we learned with Kiki to Coco as well. We really appreciated that she didn't try to upsell us on training for both dogs when she easily could have. That immediately showed us how much she genuinely cares about helping dogs and their families. At the time, Kiki was about six months old and was extremely reactive to just about everything in the outside world. We were looking for someone whose methods aligned with our values, and we loved Andi's positive reinforcement approach. Kiki completed Andi's six-week program, and the growth we've seen has been incredible. What sets Andi apart is that she isn't focused solely on teaching dogs tricks or obedience commands. She truly cares about each dog's emotional well-being and how they're feeling throughout the process. We learned so much--not just about Kiki, but about ourselves as dog owners. Andi helped us understand how our own behaviors and responses can shape our dogs, which was eye-opening and incredibly valuable. Of course, the work doesn't stop when the training sessions end. It takes consistency and ongoing practice at home, but Andi gave us the tools and confidence to continue building on Kiki's progress. The effort has been absolutely worth it. One of the best parts is that we were able to use many of the same training methods with our older Maltipoo, Coco, and she learned and benefited from them as well. Andi actively encouraged this, which we really appreciated. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and ethical trainer who truly puts dogs' well-being first, we wholeheartedly recommend Andi and Diamond Dog Training.

I want to start with just saying THANK YOU STEPHANIE!!!…read more Since the first free meet and greet it's been great! She described her process throughout the day and was very clear about how she runs her daycare and boarding. Any question that I had, she had an answer to. She's been able to take care of my dog Charlie with patience especially since he is 13 years old and diabetic and possibly even has dementia. We were able to do 5 daycare sessions before boarding from Thursday-Monday this past weekend, and I am so glad and happy that Stephanie is very open about everything. She was able to keep me updated when she could both during the daycare days and during boarding which made me feel relived that someone that clearly loves dogs was taking care of my Charlie. I am happy about her services and will continue to use them.

But for both daycare and for longer stays (like 10-12 days), Stephanie's the best!

I brought my first dog Biscuit to Maritza after a recommendation since my other regular sitter was…read moreleaving the area. She and Maritza actually have several clients in common through referrals. I've been sending Waffles for daycare at least twice a week for a year to Maritza and sometimes overnights and holidays if I'm leaving town. She is an amazing sitter- not just at being flexible with scheduling and communicative with pictures, videos and updates but goes above and beyond accommodating last-minute emergency situations and is so conscientious and aware of where every dog is at all times. All the dogs play well with each other and even have regular naptimes. She updates me on any possible behavioral/physical changes she notices and makes sure my pup is always safe and happy while staying with her. I have to book at least a month or two before the holidays come around because everyone is fighting for a slot to get their dog in with her. On a more personal note my Biscuit boy got run over in a hit and run two months after he first started going to her and I'll always be grateful to Maritza for making his last few months so joyful. He loved going to her place and she was one of the first people I called that day to come say goodbye to him. She even gifted a sweet memorial picture of him because she knew how hard it was for me to have such an unexpected sudden loss. I got Waffles the next month and Maritza has been a lifesaver in helping with her training. She really understands dogs and is a one in a million find since she does it full-time. Socialization and structure is SO important with puppies and I couldn't ask for a better more patient person to care for her through her puppyhood and now adolescent years. It was a happy accident that I found her but now I can't imagine sending my dog to anyone else. I have backups of course, but Waffs is the most tired and happy after a day at Maritza's! Highly recommend~

We brought our Samoyed, Ghost, to John for board-and-train when he was only about 4 months old…read more Now, about 7 months later, we finally wanted to leave a review because we've had plenty of time to see how the training actually holds up. John is a really great trainer, and we're very happy with the results. Before training, Ghost had a lot of typical puppy behaviors -- digging, biting and chewing slippers, getting into things he shouldn't, etc. After he came home, those behaviors were basically gone. What impressed us the most is that the training really lasted. Ghost has now gone through his teenage phase, which we were honestly expecting to be a little chaotic , but he's still such a good dog. He understands boundaries, listens well, and is very easy to live with. Looking back, sending him to John at 4 months old gave him a really strong foundation, and we can still see the difference 7 months later. We're really happy we did it and would definitely recommend John!

Sal and his staff did an amazing job training her with basic commands such as sitting, staying, laying down and potty training. Explained everything and how they were able to get my dog to be obedient so I can take those lessons back home. What I love about obey my commands. 1. It's obvious that Sal and staff love and care so much for every dog they have. 2. Their facility is amazing. Huge area to let dogs be inside and out and socialize. I would highly recommend Obey My Commands to anyone looking to Board and Train.

With the guidance and support of this wonderful organization, she has learned many tasks that assist both my husband and me.

Through this journey, we have learned how to better understand her needs, build on her abilities, and, most importantly, enjoy her wonderful personality.

What started as a simple intention to gain basic obedience training soon evolved into an ongoing, dedicated commitment to getting my pound rescued dog certified as a full-service dog. I continue to work towards becoming an efficient handler of my service dog, and because of my VFR training, my service dog has mastered almost twenty of the required thirty commands towards graduation. As a result of our training activities, I walk five miles a day, have lost over sixty-five pounds (65lbs), and have been able to stop the use of most of my previously prescribed medications. Because of our training, I was able to take my dog on vacation with me while we visited multiple national parks, a UNESCO site, restaurants, museums and stayed at four-star hotels, without having to pay for pet service fees. VFR affiliation means more to me than basic obedience training, it is about the unspoken camaraderie of the membership that consists of military veterans (and active duty) as well as first responders. Jenny and James are fantastic people, and I am indebted to them for the training they provide at no cost to me.
