The team is incredibly warm, attentive, and truly passionate about dogs. They don't just watch your dog... they get to know them, love them, and treat them like family. Kim and her Team are rockstars. My pup used to be anxious and reserved around new people and dogs, but since coming to Doggie Shrink, I've seen a complete transformation. He's more confident, better socialized, and genuinely excited every time we pull up to the building...tail wagging, ready to play! The facility is spotless, safe, and thoughtfully designed for enrichment, fun, and relaxation. Whether it's playgroups, one-on-one attention, or quiet time when needed, they tailor the experience to each dog's personality and needs. I also love the regular updates, photos, and honest communication ...it gives me such peace of mind knowing my dog is in the best hands. Doggie Shrink isn't just a daycare/training... it's a second home for your pup. If you're looking for a place where your dog will be loved, nurtured, and genuinely understood, this is it. Five stars doesn't feel like enough! They truly go above and beyond.

She is passionate and highly knowledgable when it comes to training dogs. We called her out of recommendation from a neighbor for our two dogs (one being a new rescue). Ramella immediate analyzed the situation and began addressing behaviors as soon as she stepped in the door. A true professional. Ramella sat with my husband and I, examined the situation, listened to our concerns and developed a plan for both of our dogs. What I found most impressive was Ramella's wealth of knowledge. She knows many different styles of training our dogs, from strictly positive reinforcement based, to hybrid styles, to more direct and everything in between. Our dogs have developed so quickly as a result of our consistency under Ramella's direction. She sat with us, listened to all we had to say and then trained us. Ramella even used two of her dogs to help us train our dog (her dogs are so well trained, she dives with them and does shows and other competitions). I cannot recommend Ramella enough. Everyone in our neighborhood who stops us and asks about our dogs gets Ramella's recommendation (3x so far!). Ramella, if you're reading this thank you for your excellent work and time with us and our dogs! PS - she works with all breeds. We have a mini goldendoodle and a Cane Corso/Great Pyrenees.

I've seen her work with puppies because I referred her to work with this family had a new puppy and they were very satisfied . I've also seen her work with one of my dog that was aggressive she understood that the dogs issues were idiopathic. She helped us learn to work around his fears because he was a fear biter. She also evaluated a lot of dogs from different charities and has volunteered for different charities in numerous ways. She has a big heart for dogs and really is dedicated and helping dogs and people be able to live together harmoniously. It takes a dedicated dog owner however to really make training work. The person needs to be as trained as a dog. Or maybe even more so. So there's a lot you can learn from Amanda. And she also very flexible hours

Art of k9 I can not…read moresay enough good things about Angelo and Art of K9. When we found him we were in a desperate situation. Our dog was totally out of control and having recently but our baby, we didn't know what to do. Angelo took our dog within a week and a half of contacting him and helped guide us along the way until we were able to drop him off. We committed our dog to the 8 week program, unsure of what to expect but hoping for the best. We knew this was a last resort. It's now been about 6 months since we have picked our dog up from the program and I can confidently say that it was the best decision we could have made for our family. Not only is he more controlled, he is actually a joy to be around and have around our child. He listens to commands and we find ourselves very rarely needing to correct bad behavior as it doesn't really happen. We went from having a dog who would never come when called, bark uncontrollably, destroy toys and furniture, to a dog who immediately goes to place on a cot when someone knocks on the door (without being prompted) and lets out a few alert barks and stops once i say enough. We no longer have to worry about aggression with our child. He is great about listening when we get him away from her and often will walk away from her on his own when before he would growl. Additionally Angelo has checked in to see how our dog is doing, if any issues have come up, and whenever he needs a training refresh we have been able to bring him back. We will be sending all future dogs to Angelo for training

Angelo saved our dog's life -- and I mean that in the most literal sense possible…read more Oliver is a rescue who had been surrendered by two families before us. We took him in, loved him, and still found ourselves in crisis -- biting, aggression, resource guarding. We were scared of our dog and desperate for help. Oliver was our fifth dog and as a family we were seasoned users of positive reinforcement as the primary training method. We turned to Angelo at Art of K9 and made the decision to board Oliver for 8 weeks. He took on Oliver after a thorough consultation. Angelo worked through Oliver's aggression and resource guarding using the e-collar and other training tools. These methods gave us the ability to communicate with and control our dog in a way positive reinforcement couldn't. The transformation is hard to put into words. Oliver is now relaxed, cuddly, and genuinely at peace. He still has his moments -- but now we have the tools to handle them. This has changed everything. If you have a dog with serious aggression or resource guarding and you're at your breaking point, I highly recommend Angelo. He didn't just train Oliver -- he saved his life and we are so thankful.

She is on the mend and much better with love, care and lots of Reiki treatments :) However she still needed obedience and to learn to be a good doggie with manners and to walk on a leash properly but almost every puppy training class declined her due to not having "choke" collar and I was told it is a strict protocol to have her on it to be in class even though she is only 12 pounds. I tried a school and while it is a positive and fun school for her it was not helping with walking on a lead and her focus issues that is typical for a terrier breed. I cannot thank Greg enough for his approach and expertise! YOU are truly an amazing dog trainer! Greg came to my house for one session and literally put it all in synch for Brandi and me :) He did not even consider the harness he was able to gain her attention, control and respect within one hour and without choking her with a collar.

Not surprisingly, when we brought home our infant son, she had a very tough time relinquishing being the center of attention. With people coming in and out of the house constantly to meet the baby, the dog barking non-stop and racing around - our stress level was through the roof. We called on Bob after having tried for years to control her attention-seeking behavior through other training methods that simply didn't work. With Bob's help - and in just one session - we retrained ourselves to be the rulers of our household, not the "geishas." In other words, we no longer give her attention because she demands it. And, with just two weeks of practice, we were able to have 10 people over for a football game and our dog was calm for the first time in years.
