Nancy is the millennial dog-owner whisperer!…read more That's not to say that all her clients are millennials (they're not). But as someone who considers my pup a fur child, who has his own instagram, whose haircuts are more expensive than my own (the list goes on) ... I felt 100% right at home in Nancy's class! Some highlights: + Small classrooms (4 dogs) with personalized support + Timely emails with homework, videos, and ongoing support from Nancy + Recordings in case you can't make class + Facebook group for playdates It might be a little pricier than other preschools in the area, but believe me, you are getting way more for the value. Nancy's trainings are positive reinforcement.... which means... tons of treats! My pup is pretty small and kept getting sick after class. We thought it was carsickness and Nancy recommended I get a prescription from the vet. However, I noticed he wasn't getting sick on other car rides (even to Sonoma, SF, or Pescadero.. with that windy road). Turns out, it wasn't carsickness.. but too many treats! I had to end up switching to a less heavy treat and rationing them out in class. Just a tip if your pup is experiencing similar symptoms... carsickness might not be the culprit. Nonetheless, my puppy transformed from one who was very afraid of other dogs and humans to a sociable, well-adjusted puppy thanks to Nancy's class. I also met some awesome humans thanks to the puppy playdate Facebook group! Pandemic puppies, look no further!

5/5 Stars -- A true puppy genius and an absolute lifesaver!…read more If I could give Amelia Olson ten stars, I still don't think it would be enough. Navigating puppyhood can be an overwhelming journey, but working with Amelia has completely transformed the experience for us. From our very first session, she proved herself to be nothing short of a puppy whisperer. Amelia has been working with our little Maltipoo, Mercedeh, and the progress has been remarkable. What sets Amelia apart isn't just her deep knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques--it's her boundless patience, warmth, and genuine love for canine companions. She doesn't just train the dog; she lovingly guides and empowers the owners every step of the way. She has shown endless patience with all of our questions, always meeting us with encouragement, clear communication, and practical solutions tailored specifically to Mercedeh's personality. Mercedeh absolutely adores her, and we genuinely look forward to every single session on our calendar. You can feel how much Amelia truly cares about the animals she works with; her dedication, heart, and passion shine through in everything she does. I want to voice our deepest and most sincere gratitude to Amelia for all of her hard work, care, and commitment to our family. We will unquestionably continue to train with her, and we cannot recommend her highly enough to any pet parent looking for top-tier, compassionate, and effective training. Amelia is simply the best in the business!

Amelia gave us really powerful tools to improve Dash's behavior, and overall and tips and tricks for how to get him more comfortable at home. Dash is a lot more attentive to my cues on walks and is a lot less reactive to dogs on walks. He was a well mannered dog to begin with, but is even better now. I really appreciated that Amelia was able to come to my home in San Jose to do the training. Even though Dash primarily lives with my parents in San Bruno, he still spends a fair amount of time in my home in San Jose and getting him trained in a familiar environment has seemed to be beneficial for him. We also went to the Campbell Farmer's Market and Santana Row to expose Dash to a lot of children/other dogs and all were really great outings for Dash. Thanks Amelia for your patience and guidance!

We were really struggling with our puppy when we reached out to KT to ask for help with training…read more She was incredible from the start: reassuring, and realistic. She started with simple goals: get our dog to know what to do so we don't have to tell him, and through teaching him calm behavior he would become more calm all the time (I was incredibly skeptical). We had several private sessions, and worked on everything from sitting, not eating food off the ground or the high chair, how to feed him, how to walk him, how to keep him from demolishing our 2 year old, and are ending with drop and come (also skeptical we would arrive here). Our dog is a completely different dog: he is calm, seriously, he has stopped peeing when we come down in the morning and when we come home, he is so well behaved around the kiddos they now feed him solo. Even when your not in session you will receive videos and be asked to send videos. KT is incredibly supportive all the time, and sincerely wants to make you and your dog happier. We are so grateful for our time with KT, and will continue working with her in the future.

Matt from Pawfection told me he refers all his clients to her who are looking for longer pet sitting, and no one has come back disappointed. Overall impression: I cannot speak more highly of Kimberley and Bowser's Buddy Pet Care! She was extremely professional and accommodating and made me feel like part of the Bowser's family from day one! More details: Kimberley is the epitome of professionalism. I really appreciated how she: - validated my sad feelings that I couldn't take him on the trip - had me over the weekend before my trip to see her space and meet the other dogs she was currently taking care of - was in constant contact about times/dates and how my dog Reeses was doing while I was gone - communicated (quickly) with me whenever I sent her a text message or gave her a call - loves my dog like her own (and he loves her back!) Pro-tip: Kim's place is dog HEAVEN. Very dog-friendly and lots of things to keep them entertained and comfortable: doggy door, fenced-in grassy yard, orthopedic beds, etc. etc. She doesn't give discounts, but it's totally worth the price, and that's coming from a med student in tons of debt currently!

Jollene is so patient and calm with Winnie and is wonderful to work with.

We are now enjoying our calm walks and hanging out together without the constant behavior challenges that puppies tend to have.
