I was specific of all the areas of concerns with Jay during the evaluation. He recommended four sessions for Jazz. At first I thought no way will this Boxer be corrected with four sessions. To my surprise I quickly learned otherwise. First session Jay addressed the running out the front door when opened. Jazz immediately obeyed Jay and myself. So impressive! Second session we needed Jazz to sit on his bed during breakfast & dinner. While his owner in a wheelchair enjoys his meals. Jay accomplished that in half the session. Third session was walking. Being able to keep Jazz on my side and from growling at other people or dogs. In one session Jay empowered me to lead Jazz. A big task for some of us women who struggle with being pack leaders. Jazz and I have been enjoying some lovely walks. Thank you Jay!!! Fourth session was calling Jazz in from backyard. Jazz did well with Jay. That is something I am sure I will master shortly! If not, I now have a dog expert to reach out to for help. Jazz was so excited to see Jay on a weekly basis. Jay was so loving and it made me realized I was not loving with Jazz. He is not my dog but my clients. However, I have started to love on him. This way he feels he belongs to someone and that he is loved. This poor dog came from the shelter during COVID. I have no idea what life he had before. However, now Jazz is living his best life ever thanks to Tails of Success. I have always felt professional dog trainer have. value. This recent situation has re-enforced their value based on their experience, quick results, and in home training. I highly recommend this experts. Side note: make sure you do your homework daily to reinforce all Jay's teaches your pet. This way you too will be a happy client with a happy pet.

We kept up with training honestly not every day. This weekend I was hiking alone with Racker in the hills above LA. I tripped and fell down a mountain breaking 3 bones. I was unable to climb up the rocks to make it out and had to be rescued by fire fighters and paramedics. They had to hike in and carry me out. All I could think of is how horrible it was going to be because Racker would become reactive and act aggressive in the situation. Instead because of his training he stayed in down the whole time. He barked once when they stabilized my leg and I screamed. After they picked me up he calmly let someone lead him out with me. If you are on the fence about training do it! You never know when an emergency will happen. The guys all praised how well behaved Racker was. I cannot thank Nick and Kassie enough. You really changed our life

Before contacting Nick at Elevated Canine I thought my stubborn Schnauzer would never go outside…read moreagain because he was so reactive towards people and other dogs. Neptune and I went through the Standard Package training and it has been an amazing experience. My only regret is that I didn't start the training sooner. I feel like I have a new confident dog. I take him for walks every day, he's crate trained and he can hang out in the front yard without running away. Nick and Kassandra are great trainers, very well organized and extremely knowledgeable. The studio is always clean and a very comfortable place to bring you dog. I recently got a new puppy and have been able to apply what I learned to him and he is doing great as well. Training is such a great investment into your dog and makes a world of a difference. I recommend Nick and Kassandra at Elevated Canine to everyone with a dog.

Sherry Davis has made an enormous difference with two of my dogs, both complete opposite…read morepersonalities and histories. I couldn't have done it without her. The first is an alpha pure-bred standard poodle, who has always had a charmed life and her own way. The pup ran us around until Sherry taught me how to be a calm, confident, and firm poodle-mom. Together, we've done amazing work with obedience lessons and going through the steps to become licensed as a Certified Therapy Dog. Sherry has been indispensable for coaching us from bratty puppy to a dignified therapy dog who can be trusted in any hospital or office. Her cafe manners are on point, too! The second dog is a pit/lab mix who we found abandoned at a park. She is strong, but terrified of everything. Sherry has helped my older dad be able to manage this dog, and walk her in the neighborhood without him being knocked over by her strength and fear. Sherry saw the potential in this rescue and has helped us cultivate her good qualities and overcome her bad ones. I highly recommend Sherry for obedience lessons. She works magic in both private and group sessions. The key is just to stick to it and complete the sessions. You'll be impressed how fast your dog becomes likable and well-behaved in public places with Sherry's coaching. She also specializes in helping the elderly manage their dogs so that they aren't unintentionally dangerous to them (getting underfoot, jumping up, pulling them over with a leash, racing for the door, etc.). I'm so glad she's been here to help my family and my pups.

Maximus has grown into such a well-behaved, confident pup, and our walks have become something we both truly enjoy. The training gave us lasting results, not just short-term fixes, and that's made all the difference. If you're looking for a place that stands by their work and genuinely invests in your dog's long-term success, this is it. Highly recommend!

Over the summer I met with Jesse and Miguel who worked their magic and transformed my pup from a jumper and biter to a calm companion who now understands the importance of following my lead. The most shocking lesson was that I paid good money to train my pup but it turned out I needed to be trained as well. Jesse talked to me about all the tough stuff I didn't want to hear, but they showed me how to be a real leader. I will definitely be booking my next session to take things to the next level and get my pup to walk next to me without a leash.

We adopted our dog Tala after she was fostered and trained by Brent at Ace Dog Training, and we…read moretruly cannot express how grateful we are for the incredible transformation he made possible. When Brent found Tala, she was in a heartbreaking situation--essentially feral and abandoned by the side of a highway, just days away from being euthanized. Thanks to Brent's dedication and expertise, she not only got a second chance at life, but she became the most well-behaved and gentle dog we've ever met. Tala is a Husky-Samoyed mix, and from the moment we brought her home, it was clear she had been given an amazing foundation. She walks like a dream--both on and off leash--has zero reactivity, and greets every person and animal she encounters with calm friendliness. She's completely potty and crate trained, follows commands effortlessly, and doesn't jump or vocalize unnecessarily. She's also wonderfully affectionate and incredibly food motivated, which makes bonding with her a joy. What amazes us most is how Brent managed to shape her behavior so thoughtfully without dulling her spirit. Tala still has all the bright, clever, loving traits that make her such a unique and special companion. She's seamlessly become part of our family, and we truly can't imagine life without her. Brent is nothing short of a miracle worker, and we wholeheartedly recommend Ace Dog Training to anyone looking to adopt or train a dog with kindness, skill, and heart. Thank you, Brent, for giving Tala--and us--such a beautiful new beginning.

This is long over-due but I wanted to write review anyway. Two years ago Brent trained my English…read morebulldog because he was refusing to walk on a leash, jumping, whining for food at the dinner table, and not returning on recall. He was not my dog originally and I was having a hard time managing him. It was so hard to leave him but, such a good decision. It made a huge difference in my relationship with him. I received daily pictures and a video of his training. He was responsive when I texted for updates. After three weeks, I picked him up. Brent showed me how to work with him. I have been consistent with the training and two years later, he is still easy to work with and I bring him everywhere with me. This was such a great experience. Thank you again!

I had had mostly good experiences here. Sure, they would take longer than promised to finish the…read moregrooming, often after their closing time. And it's impossible to reach them by phone (besides leaving a message and getting a call back in a few days... which isn't reasuring when I'm calling to check how much longer the grooming will take). But they usually did what I requested, and I was happy with the result. But the last time I brought in my dog, my dog was very badly injured when I picked her up. They hurt her leg somehow - I'm going to guess they forcefully held her paw for nail cutting, instead of acknowledging her protests. (She's a vocal breed, so unfortunately some groomers are inclined to ignore her vocal cues.) My dog couldn't stop whimpering in pain for 2 months. Even in her sleep, she would wake up whimpering from the pain (for about a month). I took her to the vet right away, thinking maybe her leg was broken. The vet said nothing was broken or dislocated, thankfully. But her whimpering in pain broke my heart. What also bothers me is that when I dropped her off, I told the person she has sensitivity in her front paws so to please be gentle. Obviously that was ignored. One factor (I have to assume) is that the person I dropped my dog off with is not the same person who was there when I picked up my dog. So I wonder if what I said even got communicated to whoever was grooming her or cutting her nails. I called Wizard of Paws, and they denied knowing what I was talking about (that my dog had been injured, was whimpering in pain, etc) - said they had no idea how it may have happened, and that it surely wasn't because of them. Overall, it was mostly fine getting my dog groomed here... until it wasn't.

But if you're in that job and you don't wanna do that şhiît then you don't belong in animal care. When we give you our animals, we are giving you an extreme amount of trust and this place is now tainted in my mind. However, I have a little choice, but to go elsewhere. I will continue to take my animals here out of necessity, but know that I know .
