    We called to schedule a grooming appointment for our little maltipoo with Jose since he was the one who saw him last and did a fantastic job and our little guy was happy. About 3 hours later my husband got a call stating they had to take him to the vet because they noticed that he was pawing his eye a lot. We thought it was a little weird but didn't think much of it. My husband then went to pick him up and he is now on TWO eye drops medication and an oral medication. My husband went to talk to the groomers and turned out that someone named Hannah was the one that groomed our dog, why? We have no idea. The person that was there did not know what had happened. This is beyond RIDICULOUS and we are furious!! 1. If we scheduled our dog to be groomed by a specific person why is someone else touching him? And the fact that we did not get 1 call asking if it was ok for someone else to groom him is beyond me... 2. They never called to apologize or take accountability for what they had done or even bothered to wait for us to explain the situation I know accidents happen & I am well aware especially since I work in the medical field with humans BUT the fact that there was NO communication or any accountability taken was the reason why I am on here writing this. This is not ok. Just look at his little eye. When I saw him come home I just wanted to cry. These dogs are our babies and they need to be treated as such! NEVER AGAIN will I take him to get groomed at PetSmart ever again.

    We took our cat for grooming services. When we went to pick her up, they didn't say anything was wrong. After we got home and got her after the crate, she was covered in blood. We immediately called the store and were told it's not her blood, but groomers. We cleaned her out and didn't see any additional blood. However her behavior changed immediately. She went from loving, affectionate cat, to hiding from us, not eating, not playing. Three days later she started limping and "crying". We took her to urgent care and were explained that limping is due to her missing three nails and them being infected. I now have $900 vet bill, distraught animal and daughter. When we went back, we were told different story to how she pulled her three nails

    Thanks for the pampering!

    See all

    Elaine is fantastic! We brought our 4.5 year old American Bully in for a short refresher training 4…read moreyears after he was initially trained. 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.

Before training, Forrest was a very playful and excitable pup who struggled with focus and discipline. He was easily distracted, didn't consistently follow commands, and had trouble behaving appropriately around children and other dogs. After spending two weeks with Elaine, our amazing trainer, Forrest came home a completely transformed dog! He's now obedient, focused, and confident -- even in high-distraction environments like parks and public places. He mastered six core commands and continues to respond beautifully to them at home. Elaine truly is a "dog whisperer." She's local (Murrieta), which made drop-off and pickup super convenient, and she went above and beyond to keep us updated. We received daily videos and photos showing Forrest's progress -- we looked forward to them every day and loved watching his transformation in real time. We are so impressed with Elaine's skill, patience, and dedication. Forrest is still the same silly, lovable dog we adore, but now he's also well-mannered, obedient, and an absolute joy to be around. Thank you, Elaine and Off Leash K9, for giving us the best version of our pup!

    Above amazing dog training! If you want a dog that is trained and no dilly-dallying to get there…read moreVINCE is the trainer you NEED! I personally am a certified dog trainer for a large pet store and while they are amazing for the basics I wanted a more expert opinion when it comes to more extensive dog training. I have a 4 year old Maltese who I've self trained as a a psychiatric service dog. Nacho is wonderful very well mannered, but has always had a bit of his own anxiety. Since I'm up to date on lots of training methods and I wanted his advice personally, he agreed to doing a private session with me. I brought everything for the session, his fancy FI dog collar that tracks him, his working vest, short lead, distance lead, his e-collar and of course treats. I told him that the e collar training I've done with him is modified as I don't have one that shocks only noise and vibration. He said while he gets results almost immediate with a classic e-collar conditioning, he is willing to do whatever I am most comfortable with. Nacho has off leash recall but only conditioned with the vibration, and because he's only 7 pounds and I got the most lightweight vibration collar I modified it to be on the back of his harness which works perfect. Again Vince will only do whatever you're comfortable with and better yet he'll explain the reasoning of how each training tool is used and why it works. While I know Vince could have gotten my dog to do 4x as many commands in the time frame that we spent working, it was more important for me to learn what he was preaching and my god was it amazing! Everything started to click and make sense which gave me so much more confidence in myself and my boy Nacho. I can tell he has had many years of experience and if I ever have any more concerns or questions I will happily put money down to see him again. Any dogs that I come across that need behavioral help will be going his way. While it can be pricey it is so worth it! Take the time to get his advice and opinion it's well worth it! Thanks again Vince for helping me with Nacho! We appreciate it immensely!

    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!

    I am so very grateful for the outside certification program at Canine Support Teams, because I…read morevalue the ADI standard, the ability to build a strong relationship with my Service Dog from puppyhood, and the respectful, kind, and thoughtful communication style CST employs. My journey in training Emmy for my second Mobility Service Dog began when she was eight weeks old. She arrived from a breeder who places 40-50% of their puppies into Service Dog roles, and prior to seeking ADI, I had training support from multiple sources including my experience from working with my first Mobility Service Dog. From the very beginning with Emmy, I wanted to achieve the ADI standard and acquire certification for international travel. But finding an ADI where I felt supported and nurtured in my goals and training style proved to be more difficult than I could have ever imagined. Initially, Emmy and I joined another ADI program that ultimately proved to be out of alignment with our goals and training style. In spite of that disappointment, I did not give up my dream of achieving ADI, and in time, discovered Canine Support Teams' program. I was forthcoming about our previous ADI experience and commitment to a 100% reward-based training style. I was excited to meet them, but privately, I was still finding it difficult to trust another organization with our energy, money, and time. Thankfully, I quickly realized during our first meeting that the people at CST is what makes their program so very special. From the initial conversation with me and formal temperament test they performed with Emmy, to our base-line PAT at the local pet supply, their sincere kindness was apparent, and I felt my tension and uncertainty ease into the knowing that I had found a safe place to grow with my dog. On entry to the program, I received a structured, yet personalized, six-month training plan. I greatly appreciated the formality and structure, because unlike our first ADI experience, Canine Support Teams' professionalism was apparent in every aspect of their behavior and program. We were paired with Genevieve as our lead trainer, and throughout our program, I was continually impressed by Genevieve's mindfulness and care to maintain a safe space for Emmy and me to continue to grow. The compassion, thoughtfulness, and talent with which she approached our sessions really blew me away. Her kindness and understanding of my specific task needs for Emmy as well as her commitment to a reward-based training style with Emmy made me feel super supported. In short, we felt not only seen and heard, but respected and honored. We also had the opportunity to work with two other CST trainers: Helena and Da'Von each brought something magical to our success. During our program, we had multiple opportunities to work around other teams with various disabilities, working roles, and training styles as well as dogs of multiple different breeds and experience levels. With everyone's help, Emmy and I exceeded our goals. Today, we are such a polished team - and I very much enjoy the experience of being out with Emmy doing our thing with the confidence that comes from being supported by a solid program that is committed to sincere and mindful communication and guidance.

My partner and I found the Canine Support Team though the Assistance Dogs International (ADI) program after doing research into what working with an 'ADI certified trainer' actually entailed, and didn't regret our experiences at all. I had full confidence in the training they provided for me and see the changes that it has made on my day to day life. They really do hold every dog to a higher standard. They are honest about whether a dog actually has the temperament and focus for full-time work. It isn't a participation only environment, effort is needed and at times, for us, it definitely felt like a full time job to train. Our trainer, Genevieve E., was a fantastic listener, incredibly talented, and super accommodating in our experience. She helped us navigate the training 'lows' with personalized coaching that never felt like a generalized script. You can tell she is genuinely dedicated to her craft and always growing her own skills. She gave us so much confidence, especially during frustrating lows, and guided us through our training highs! The Training Director, Shara B., went above and beyond from our first meeting, even providing extra lessons and her Puppy Raising 101 manual to help us understand the effect between training, our behaviors, and dogs' behaviors. She consistently shows up and the way was constantly adapting the program to provide better training, hands on lessons, and outside class experiences shows that. If you want a team that is patient, cares about the bond you have with your dog, and the quality of training. I would recommend the Canine Support Team!

She couldn't get along very well with our other 2 dogs as she really just had no manners and didn't understand social cues. She had such a hard time settling down in the evenings and would bark for hours from her crate. We just didn't know what to do. I was at my wits end! Then I called Farren at Board N Behave. I really just wanted to board her while my husband was out of town but the more I spoke with her and came to understood her insight and experience with other dogs like Maya I decided to have the training sessions as well.

My Chinese Crested, Hooper, had previous training but was still struggling with reactivity and socialization. I appreciated that Farren didn't push an expensive board and train--she assessed Hooper personally and offered private sessions that fit my budget. After just one session, I already saw progress. Over five sessions, both Hooper and I were trained--because we all know training the human is just as important! A month later, I adopted another dog, Bodie, and brought both pups to Farren's daycare to continue Hooper's socialization. We also did additional public training sessions, which were incredibly helpful. Hooper is now more confident and manageable! Farren has also been working directly with Bodie, helping him learn basic obedience and improve his behavior--especially with things like staying safely in the car instead of bolting into the street. His progress has been amazing. Farren is not just a great trainer, but also understands dog behavior on a deeper level. Her facility is clean, organized, and I fully trust leaving my dogs in her care. I highly recommend Board N Behave for training, daycare, and/or boarding!
