I've recommended Crystal to several of our friends and they have all been very pleased.

Before choosing a dog trainer, we looked at countless options online. Ruff House was the only one…read morethat got back to us and was accepting new clients, or in some cases, got back to us at all. We weren't sure what to expect, as we are new to dog training. We scheduled an initial appointment for private in-home training that was $150 and was listed to be up to an hour and a half. Following the payment, we received an email with the trainer's availability and requested a time within it. We then had to go back and forth to find a time that worked for the trainer. It would have been much more helpful to just receive a list of dates/times that were still available instead of just a general schedule for booking. Again, we weren't sure what to expect but got up bright and early for an 8:00am session in our home the morning after Thanksgiving. The trainer was 8 minutes late. I know that isn't a huge amount of time, but it was our first meeting and we were ready on time and waiting. We received some helpful tips on how to start working on the main concerns we had with our dog, but felt like we didn't receive clear instruction on what to do if the dog didn't do the command, etc. We contemplated booking more sessions, but ultimately decided against it for the amount of money we paid vs the information we received. Maybe dog training just isn't for us. Maybe we just didn't mesh with the trainer. This was our experience.

Anthony is fantastic. He boarded and trained our adopted dog who was very defensive, edgy and…read moreaggressive. We found him when I was 6 months pregnant and terrified of bringing a new baby to a house with a dog that could barely control himself. Anthony did such an amazing job with him, he taught our dog to be more relaxed around people and other animals. My dog is focused, obedient and much more comfortable in our house now. He's great with the baby and so much easier to handle now. Anthony is THE BEST! Highly recommend!

Jeff to the rescue!…read more We have two Jack Russell Terriers and they are a happy handful!!! We have had previous training with some good, but mostly lackluster results. We worked with Jeff for one session and he trained us to be the pack leader in a way where the dogs understood and accepted it. Now instead of rushing the door and being all crazed, it's calm, even when the doorbell rings. They look to us for direction instead of trying to 'protect' us from what's on the other side of the door. We wish we had found Jeff years ago! But you can teach a not-so-young dog new tricks! We will be calling on Jeff again soon to help us be better pet parents!

Gerard's video on his website that shows the interview on the local news with the Rottweiler caught…read moremy eye. I had a Rottweiler pass away from cancer so it was good to see he trained all types and sizes of dogs. From the first call with Gerard I can tell he had a passion for training dogs with "non harsh" training methods. As he pointed out there are other dog trainers that use shock collars or other methods that I don't agree with so it was nice to know he doesn't use those methods. I could tell he cares about his clients and dogs and sometimes that didn't come through with other dog trainers. He personally has 3 dogs himself. I would recommend Gerard to anyone that needs help with their dog(s). He has great hand out material and always calls me back within a reasonable amount of time.

Karyn came to our house to help us with our adorable but rambunctious and somewhat naughty…read more(destructive) 2 year old lab mix. She started by asking a lot of questions to really understand all our issues and their magnitude. Then she took them one by one and offered suggestions for how to deal with each issue, also explaining relevant issues about a dog's innate (and learned) behavior. She also gave us a copy of a book she just published, her third. I had heard wonderful things about her, and now that I've met her, I can say there is probably no one in Tucson with more experience with dog training and animal behavior. She had a calm, low key presence and I am most anxious to start using her training techniques. One of the most reassuring things is that she was very clear that he is not a bad dog; he is just a dog. As the humans we have to take responsibility for letting him know what is acceptable and what isn't. And Karyn has given us the tools to know how to do that. I will report back how things are going in a few weeks!

Absolutely Life-Changing Training Experience with Karyn Garvin!…read more We cannot say enough wonderful things about Karyn Garvin and Garvin's Divine Dog Training. From the very first session, Karen's deep understanding of canine behavior and her calm, confident approach put both us and our dogs--Gracie and Stevie--completely at ease. Karyn worked with us on both obedience and behavior training, and the transformation has been nothing short of amazing. Thanks to her guidance, we can now take Gracie out in public with total confidence. She listens, stays calm, and responds beautifully to commands--something we honestly didn't know how to achieve before working with Karyn. What sets Karyn apart is her truly integrated approach. She doesn't just train dogs to obey commands--she taps into their natural desire to connect and please. With patience, insight, and positivity, she helped bring out the best in both Gracie and Stevie. It's clear that Karyn truly understands dogs, and her training methods are both compassionate and incredibly effective. We are so grateful to Karyn. If you're looking for a dog trainer who will treat your pet like family and help you build a lasting bond based on trust and respect, look no further than Garvin's Divine Dog Training. Karyn is simply the best!

I also love the fact that they don't smell terrible (which has been my experience in other boarding facilities), you can tell the place is kept clean. The only reason I do not give them a 5 star review is because I was quoted $160 for a 2 night stay and ended up paying $210. I was not made aware of the $29 temperament test fee per dog prior to dropping them off or even at drop off. I also never got pictures as I was told at drop off. We are in the process of moving across the country from FL to CA and stopped in AZ for 2 nights, that's the only reason we probably won't return. Thanks Central Pet AZ!
