Our border collie…read moreMaverick had an issue with pulling on walks, and thanks to Jennifer, he now walks perfectly in heel--it's like night and day. She also worked on his place command, and now he stays calmly on his bed until released, which has made having guests over so much easier. One of the things that really stood out was how Jennifer took the time to get to know us as well as our dog. She found out we have a horse background and used that to our advantage--explaining training techniques in ways that made total sense to us. She gave examples that tied into the horse world, which made the process so much more intuitive and familiar. She also helped address Maverick's excitement around other dogs, which stems from his strong herding instincts. With Jennifer's guidance, he's now calm and focused on us. Jennifer is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about setting both the dog and owner up for long-term success. We're so thankful for the transformation she helped us achieve with Maverick!

Laura is a phenomenal trainer! The first session I had with her was over the phone as I was seeking…read moreadvice on how to reintroduce my two dogs after a pretty severe fight. Laura gave me pointers on what to do and it made a WORLD of difference. A month later, we began to do e-collar in-person training with both of our pets. They are pittie mixes that are reactive, super excitable, tugged hard on walks, and one has had a history of aggression towards other dogs. We watched them both transform to be able to control their nervous systems, especially when we have guests at the house. Our friends have remarked that they are completely different dogs. We are still continuing to work with them but finding Laura and doing the training with both our pups has been life-changing. She is by far the best trainer we have worked with. We can't recommend her enough!

We get the cutest report cards with photos and little notes about her day, which always makes us smile. One of our favorite parts is being able to watch her play outside before we leave the parking lot.. she's always having the best time with her buddies! It's such a relief knowing she's happy, active, and well taken care of. We couldn't ask for a better place for Bubbles to spend her days! Highly recommend Dioji to any dog parent who wants peace of mind and a happy pup!

Not only that our puppy is definitely picking up on our training at home so much faster since starting . Before bringing your puppy in they do a home evaluation visit that was so helpful for advice and understanding how to set our puppy up for success. It is great that our puppy gets some safe socializing with other puppies and I notice he's not as timid of reactive when passing other dogs on his walks . Melissa and Courtney have been nothing but helpful and super informative! I love that when picking up our food boy they are open to questions for advice for working on training questions we have at home. Definitely worth the money! Great investment to make sure your puppy grows into a healthy happy good boy! We will be continuing with the obedience class after day school is over as well!

I rescued Lucy from a shelter a year ago and have been struggling with her leash pulling and over-excitability from day one. She overreacted to everything and everyone we encountered when out on a walk and it made our outings very unpleasant.

I highly recommend Karma Dog Training and will definitely use them again should other behavior issues with Lucy ever arise.

We have two dogs needing training who are sisters approximately 2 years old and adopted 9 months ago. They also have a big sister, age 15, who needs no training but was hanging out to supervise. Ashley Bartlett was our trainer. Since we live in Santa Barbara, logistics for the brief pre-meet were more challenging as the Karma trainers for our area are in the Los Angeles area, but we arranged for FaceTime interviews. On the day of departure, we spent some time going through the details of our dogs and house, and then left our girls in Ashley's capable hands. We were gone 6 nights and 7 days, and returned to the dogs having basic loose leash skills (they are pullers), a better understanding of "sit", "stay", and "come", and the training basics to begin working on "down" and "leave it". Two days after our return, Ashley came to our home for a 75 minute follow-up where we worked on the training skills, tips, and a plan for how we will continue the consolidated efforts of Ashley's week of work with them. Karma Dog Training, and Ashley, were easy to communicate with, responsive to emails and inquiries, and overall seem to have helped establish a routine for us through their "boot camp".

Sydney is very responsive, empathetic to her clients and pups, and provides above and beyond resources on how to continue the lessons she provides during her training sessions to ensure that your pup will come out a grade A student! Would I recommend Sydney to other fur baby owners? Absolutely and I wish her the best in her continuing practice! 10/10 would recommend! PS Theo misses his training sessions dearly with Sydney! (-:

I tried introducing them myself a few weeks ago, and my Westie acted like he was going to kill her! For this reason, she has been inside with me ever since. Came to Yelp for help, and so glad I found Sydney. Not only did she pick up the phone when I called, but listened to my story and gave me tips before visiting us. She came for our first training session today. All three dogs took to her right away(the treats added to it) She spent a full hour with us, and it went very well. My rescue boy was ready to play with my little girl, and the bully Westie, didn't attack, and tolerated her. I now know what to do each day to get them all used to one another, and become one big happy family. Her prices are really reasonable, and she has a fun, calming attitude. She also said she is happy to answer any questions that come up. She did not push me to book more sessions, although I was about to book another. I highly recommend her, and so glad I found her.
