    I could not be more pleased with the staff and trainers at Peticulary perfect. They sit down with you and customize a plan to help your pets learn the proper behavior as either a puppy or young adult. We have a Labrador which have always been known to be "trouble". I choose to have both group and individual training sessions both of which helped immensely with our puppies behavior. If you are looking for a competent and friend staff to work with your pet this is the best choice.

    Legitimately the best trainers/walkers/boarding I have ever worked with. I called Peticularly perfect in 2017 for a dog walker for my dog who, to be honest, was a complete nightmare. The walkers were great but it became obvious that my dog was a problem (so I was really the problem) because I had not enforced any boundaries with my dog. Fast forward to 2020 and my dog is far from perfect, but a decent companion overall. The training help we got is ongoing. They have been able to meet all of our last minute boarding and walking requests. Also, they know all of my dog's special needs and remember him even when they haven't seen him for awhile. Honestly, I wish I could give them more stars because I am not sure I would have been able to keep my dog without Peticularly Perfect. The prices are also reasonable, I think that is worth mentioning. Anyway, highly, highly recommend!

    Dakota and Maggie

    After many years of companionship we lost our two dogs to old age last year. This year we decided it was time and got our one year old Maggie, a red heeler/collie mix. Maggie is a spirited pup full of love and mischief. Now after many years of having senior dogs Maggie was a ball of energy and we realized pretty quick we needed help. I searched Yelp and we settled on Peticularly Perfect after reading the reviews. We lucked out and got Dakota Castro. At our first session Dakota got down on the floor and spent time getting to know our Maggie. They hit it off immediately! We just recently finished our 5th session with Dakota and she is amazing. She is so knowledgeable and patient and Maggie really responds to her. Not only was Dakota training Maggie but she was teaching us. The results have been amazing. Occasionally, Dakota will bring one of her dogs to help in the socialization aspect of training and this has been really good for Maggie. Our last session was at Home Depot where we worked on building Maggie's confidence by exposing her to all of the new sites and sounds. I will tell you that Dakota is a 5 star trainer and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. The Peticularly Perfect website makes scheduling the sessions a breeze. Easy to schedule and easy to change. Payment is all through the website too. As you can tell, my wife and I and really happy with the whole experience.

    Peticularly Perfect is such an awesome service. I love having a reliable company to look after my senior dog when I'm at work. Brenna is our usual dog walker and she is amazing. Her email updates are the highlight of my day when she is scheduled to walk Ollie. Brenna is a super sweet person and puts a lot of care and love into her work and it shows. We've already recommended PP to people we know and will continue to do so - you guys are great! Thank you, Brenna!

    We've been using Peticularly Perfect for just over a year now. We can't say enough good things about this company. We schedule daily visits on weekends where we need to be out of town and they always have availability for a pet sitter to walk and play with our dog, even during holidays. When we initially signed up, someone came to our house to meet our dog and learn about our needs. At the time, he was about one month post-emergency spinal surgery and had specific care needs. We were nervous to leave him to the point where we were thinking about canceling our trip. But after meeting with someone and discussing everything, it put our mind at ease. They were more than willing to accommodate all of our instructions. To this day, there are some things we need to watch out for in regard to his spine and each sitter has listened to our requests without hesitation. Earlier this year, we booked the incorrect date for sitters and our pup was left for several hours without anyone there (luckily we caught it early!). With one phone call, the owner was able to get someone to our apartment ASAP and schedule out the rest of the weekend for us without hesitation. Melany is our regular sitter and does a great job at providing us with plenty of photos and feedback about each visit. All of our other sitters have been great as well (Lauren, Brenna, and whoever else I missed!), with a special shoutout to Courtney for all the love she showed our dog over the holidays in December! It means a lot when your sitters care about your pet as much as you do (which is definitely hard to live up to). You can tell how much love and attention all of the sitters have for the dogs they watch, which puts your mind at ease when you are leaving your dog in the hands of new people! Finally, Peticularly Perfect has a convenient online portal to book new services, pay invoices (where you can also add a digital tip instead of leaving cash!), add new notes about your pet's care, and look at service feedback/photos. We're so grateful for everything they do for us and couldn't recommend them enough!

    I cannot sing the praises of Michelle enough! When Monty returned from two weeks of Board and…read moreTrain with Michelle, he was a changed dog. He's not just a calmer dog, he's a CALM dog. We've had no out-of-control barking incidents; he can be tethered and remain quiet. He's very good on walks, moving from "heel" to "break" and back to "heel" again. He's very responsive to the "off" command, which we use primarily to keep him off the furniture and out of the kitchen. Last week we had friends over for dinner and after his initial excitement he was a good boy, lying nearby content and chewing on a bone. We even attended the Humane Society Walk for Animals at Kit Carson Park, and with hundreds of dogs and people and non-stop activities, he was again a very well-behaved boy. We are so appreciative of the work that Michelle did with Monty. He is now the dog we always hoped he would be - happy, well-behaved, and living his best life!

The moment Chewie saw Chris, he recognized him and greeted him with such joy! Minding his manners of course. He's too smart to behave like a brat in front of his trainer.

Chris took the time to demonstrate effective techniques and offered practical solutions I'll be implementing right away. Chewie and I are incredibly grateful for Chris's continued support and the excellent training from Cosmo K-9 Obedience. Chewie has come a long way.

    Bark Busters came to us highly recommended. After some research and reviewing Ted Talk and…read morearticles, I signed up our two rescue mix breed ~20lb boys. We are grateful to James of BB who placed us with Jenna. Our boys issues: high reactivity outside, especially other dogs, and inside, door bell, ring cameras, etc. Coupled with greetings by jumping and owning the house. Jenna set us on a path of activities for inside and was incredibly patient letting me share and ask questions, learning constantly. As we fine-tuned and we all got more comfortable we moved our training to outside. The methodology used is absolutely amazing and, I dare say, short of a miracle. We practice regularly and introduce the boys to different circumstances. All that food luring and positive food reinforcement training certainly has its place but only the techniques of BB with Jenna has helped our boys become trusting, comfortable, and happy. Here I thought I had to scan the horizon constantly to be aware of incoming dogs to prepare myself to hide behind a car or go in the corner behind garbage cans to get maximum distance. Not true. I walk no longer with my head on a lazy susan. We all are forever grateful. Our boys can lead richer more social lives. Thank you!!!

    I'm updating my original 6-month review now that it has been a full year since we hired Bark…read moreBusters to help with our rescue dog Mimi. As first-time dog owners, the early support really did help us. Having someone we could call during those overwhelming first months was a relief. Over time, though, I realized I was hoping the training would shift toward more positive reinforcement. The constant, harsher corrections worked at first but eventually didn't seem effective anymore and started affecting my relationship with Mimi. I noticed this during a family trip where Mimi, who is usually fearful of strangers, bonded more easily with my husband and his family. She gravitated toward them when scared, and I realized it might be because they weren't following the correction-heavy approach, while I was. I also asked for help with Mimi's fear and reactivity toward other dogs, but was told they didn't have dogs available for training and that I would need to bring a calm, socialized dog myself. As a non-trainer, that was very hard, but we tried by traveling many hours to introduce her to my husband's family dog. The experience ended up being chaotic since the family didn't fully understand what the process required, and new people and dogs kept appearing even though Mimi wasn't ready. Her reactivity came back in that environment, which made me feel like the training had only put a bandaid on deeper fear issues. Maybe I should have clarified expectations better from the start, but with a high-need dog and being new to all of this, I didn't know what to expect. Since then, we've switched to a positive reinforcement trainer who organizes structured group activities. Mimi is still scared of bigger dogs and can still be reactive, but she's improving slowly and has been able to meet a few smaller dogs. She's also still fearful of people, but she nips a lot less now, so progress is happening. Overall, Bark Busters helped us in the beginning, but long-term we found that a different, more positive approach has been a better fit for Mimi.

He weighs about 90lbs and struggles with reactivity (excitement and pulling when he sees other dogs/people) and he did not consistently obey commands (especially "heel"). Elaine was patient, consistent, and very communicative. She took the time to ask us what issues we wanted to focus on, and then was able to come up with a highly effective training on the spot. She was able to get him to follow commands that even surprised us (including getting him to "place" onto a picnic table). And by the end of the session, we walked him around and had zero issues with pulling or reactivity, even when there were dogs and kids nearby. It was impressive to see so much progress in such a short time. Throughout the process, she explained everything she was doing, including the specific steps AND the purpose. She answered ALL of my questions with thoughtful and kind responses. And throughout the whole experience, she was extremely friendly. I would highly recommend her.

Taking her out in public was stressful, she would shake, bark and become very reactive out of fear, which in turn made us anxious too.

He genuinely cared about both our dog and us, and took the time to thoroughly answer all of our questions, which gave us so much confidence moving forward. Throughout the training, Manny kept us updated daily with photos and videos, which was incredibly reassuring and exciting to see her progress. After 4 weeks, our Raven girl is truly transformed. She's so much more confident, calm, and equipped with amazing tools and commands that have made a huge difference in her behavior. We are beyond grateful for the care, dedication, and expertise Manny put into working with Raven. We can't thank him enough and are so excited to continue building on everything she's learned. This is just the beginning! Highly recommend!!!

The whole process was easy, clear, and very well-organized. They even trained us during pickup so we understood how to stay consistent at home.

We had reached a plateau in our abilities to train him and he was not only becoming unruly and not listening to commands and "no", he was beginning to resources guard around us and the other dogs. He was becoming a real problem and a liability. We enrolled Bodhi in the 3 week immersion program and after 3 weeks we received a call asking to keep Bodhi another week, free of charge! As Bodhi still had some issues following commands in times/ areas of high distraction. After 4 weeks, Bodhi is miraculously a completely changed, new and improved dog. His energy level is even different. Much more manageable and he is still the happy goofy puppy we fell in love with. He listens to commands. He drops toys when told to do so. He stays on place when instructed to do so. His resource guarding is gone. I can walk him with the leash dangling from my pinky finger. No pulling. Bodhi is so much easier to love now, not that he wasn't before. He is an amazing companion and such a delight to play with now. The team at IQ K9 really took the time to get to know Bodhi. They shared things with me about his personality that I wasn't picking up on. I felt like they loved him as much as I do and they explained things to me in such a way that helped me understand Bodhi and myself (style of training) better. This program is worth every penny and in my experience, the team didn't quit until they were pleased with the results. I would do it all over again and highly recommend the program.

Walks are now a joy, and the carpal tunnel that I didn't know was caused by the sled dog has eased. I loved how Wolf Girl Canine Club approaches training with kindness and patience - no choke collars, shock collars, or harsh reprimands. Our sweet but stubborn girl heeled because she wanted to. She adored her friend Katie and looked forward to the training sessions. And, while she had suffered from abandonment issues with the other trainer, by the second lesson, she was ignoring us and happily setting off with her new friend. Katie also kept us up to date with photos and even training videos so that we could see er work and follow-up on her progress. This extra effort really helped us stay on track. I recommend Katie and her methods without reservation. Wolf Girl Canine Club will be our first step with future fosters. And, frankly, I cannot wait to see the next transformation. I am so grateful to have found a kind, effective, and thorough trainer.
