We were so lucky to have Josh as a trainer to work with our mischevous pup. He's enthusiastic and knows dogs really well, and his guidance is much appreciated.

We now work with Kendall who has been super helpful with pointers on how to sharpen Piko's skills. All in all, an excellent staff.

A few weeks ago, my dog was bit in the play yard. It is natural to assume that dog would not be welcomed back due to the behavior they displayed. That is not the case, I was told they would allow the dog who bit my dog back at camp. These are the types of dogs they allow at camp, and welcome back once they act out. I would avoid this place and look elsewhere for your beloved pet. Very disappointed with Management and their decision making. They allow dogs who pose risk back with open arms.

Thanks so much, Nicole!!!

While he has bitten people before, I didn't want to do something that drastic without getting some outside help. So, I called Marcus and ... long story short, after just maybe 30-40 mins, I am fully confident I'll won't have to put down my dog. He was just fearful and aggression was a strategy. I've learned to 'speak dog' and although it will take a few weeks, I'm so grateful and appreciative because I see a clear path forward that is very simple to implement (although it does take effort but it's not complicated)

I brought my 80 pound lab, Rudy, for Dog Training classes. I first enrolled him in the reactive…read moredog class Since he lunges and barks at other dogs, but basically leaves people alone. We took a six week class which I felt was helpful, but he did need some basic obedience and we enrolled in that class. They taught us how to train our dog to sit , stay, wait ,place as well as learning how to go to his designated space for down and settle. I felt the instructors were excellent. I can't remember all their names, but Fab was excellent. when Rudy graduated from his class, he got a certificate and had a graduation picture taken. Right now I feel that I need to work on these basics before I enroll him in intermediate class, but when he's ready, I will definitely go back.

My husband and I adopted Drake from craigslist a few months ago. We were told that he was a…read morewell-behaved family dog. What we found out, however, was an entirely different story! He bit my husband all the way home from Austin (where we picked him up) and then proceeded to let us know he wasn't potty trained the moment we got to the house. Shortly after, he also let us know he did not like visitors to our apartment. He'd follow them around nipping and growling at their feet relentlessly. We gave him grace for awhile thinking it was the new environment, but after he bit the Petco Trainer during the graduation of Adult 1, we knew we had to do something. From the moment that I called Karma Dog Training, I felt very comfortable. Jeff answered my call and he patiently listened to me explain the situation. He went into detail about dog aggression and referred us to Carolyn. Carolyn was prompt in helping me get scheduled for an appointment and arrived on the decided time. Our first secession was last night. The moment Carolyn arrived I could tell she was perfect for the situation. She is very soft spoken and gentle. My husband and I watched as she went through a series of potential trigger test on him. She isolated sound quickly, which never even occurred to me! Carolyn informed us that Drake's aggression is definitely fear based. She gave us exercises that we can do with our guest to help build his confidence. Also, she walked us through the steps of greeting guest, from the moment they knock on the door. We know that this will be a journey of replacing fearful situations, with positive ones, but I can tell with the tools and advice she gave us, that we have a starting foundation to build on. On a side note, we recently adopted another dog named Elena. We have not had the time to start obedience training with her, and she is only six months. Needless to say, she's quite the wiggle worm. Towards the end of the session, we let her down for the greeting the guest portion. She literally would just plop down in a sit at Carolyn's feet, and spend minutes calmly looking up at her. I was baffled. Her attention span is about two seconds. Overall, we received 10-star customer service! The whole process was fantastic, and we are looking forward to having another session. Let it be known, that I researched, and spoke to over 10 dog trainers/ behaviorists in San Antonio.. and can honestly say my experience with Karma Dog Training was the best! My husband and I have no doubt in our minds that Carolyn will be our go to trainer for any issues here on out.
