To say John at Premier Dog Academy is good, would be an understatement. His knowledge and…read moreprofessionalism superseded my expectations. I had a terrible trainer for a very short time prior, and was hesitant to try someone new. My boy Finn was a crazy Labrador. John taught me how to be in tune with my dog, and I have learned how to be with Finn as a team. I can't express enough gratitude. I'm now educated and Finn still loves going to group class every Saturday after three years with this trainer. FIVE STARS! FIVE STARS!

I think that it was meant for us to meet John at the time we did! Our 8 month old puppy Benny was…read moreentering adolescence and we definitely needed more structure and support in our attempt to train him, especially as he became more reactive with other dogs. John offered a customized training program for Benny, which not only provided him with a foundation of obedience, but also guided us along the way through multiple personal and group classes, to help maintain all that Benny had learned from him. These classes gave us personal instructions and practice, while also providing Benny the socialization and exposure to other dogs he needed, but in a controlled environment. We're so thankful for all of John's expertise, patience, and time he's taken to support us! You know that you've picked the right trainer when your dog seems to enjoy seeing him, as much as you!

Rob was upfront with us regarding what his services could provide and what he could not. His…read moreservices are expensive compared to some others and if a client was not paying attention or not doing the required homework I can understand why frustration could occur. He can't wave a magic wand. However, we as a family listened, questioned and did the work and now have an adolescent standard poodle who is well on his way to becoming a fantastic member of our family and our community. His view is that dog owners must first be trained to understand their animals and then taught how to train their animal. In our case it all came together, not immediately but within the 6 training sessions. Our sessions with Rob were informative, humorous, and even fun when we the owners were put to task for our failings. Great work Rob. Thank you.

Updating my review to say how incredibly happy I am with Powerhouse K9! My puppy is now 8 months…read moreold and has spent a total of 5 weeks here (3 weeks for board-and-train and 2 weeks for regular boarding). As a first-time puppy owner, I wasn't sure what to expect or if puppies just naturally outgrow certain behavioral issues. Either way, this is the only formal training she has ever had, and the results speak for themselves. She came back so incredibly well-behaved. And has reminded well behaved. When we go out in public, people always come up to see her because she's cute, but what they *constantly* comment on is how exceptionally well-behaved she is for an 8-month-old puppy. It is so validating to hear that from strangers! I love and fully agree with Anthony's methods and what he does here. If you want a well-behaved dog, Powerhouse K9 is the only place to go. Highly recommend! Full disclosure: I have a pure poodle and they are known to be smart. I brought her to PowerHouseK9 initially at 4.5 months, only weeks after adopting her so my reviews are specific to this. I cannot speak to any other situation or dog breed.

We had adopted our Kody boy 8 months ago from a shelter. It was a very hard five months trying to…read moreget him settled with a routine. We all had different ways of how to train him and it was causing a rift in the family. I was turned down by some trainers until I came across Jonathan Wong's page. He was local, he was fast to get back to me and he was willing to give us a chance after everything I told him. Kody still has a long way to go and I will continue with Jonathan as his trainer, but it is night and day after three months of training with Jonathan. He was dog and people aggressive, to the point we had to avoid them entirely. We can now go for walks, albeit we move opposite of any dog and can keep walking without any barking or pulling. He was always actively pulling on the leash and bad at recall. He is loose leashed now and responds with recall with our daughter. In the end I had to get use to the idea that Kody was a crate or muzzle dog when it came to large crowds or people in our home. I felt awful but Jonathan was so supportive and positive as I came to terms with it. I hope as we continue to train with Jonathan and Kody builds his confidence that soon things might change for him. Jonathan has such a kind soul and so encouraging when it comes to both us and Kody. I cannot thank Jonathan enough for what he has done for us. He left solid foundations for us to grow on. Kody is such a sweet and smart boy, and we always want the best for him. Jonathan truly is the best.

If the appointment scheduling and follow-up were more reliable, the experience would be much better overall.

Never coming back to this location. I'll never give this location a chance anymore…read more I booked a grooming appointment online last night for my medium poodle for today--the system showed availabilitIES, as it always does. The groomer called at 9:09 AM to cancel today, claiming she didn't have time and told me I shouldn't book last-minute for a dog her size or online. Minutes later at 9:24 AM, I received automated text saying they were "excited to see" my dog. I have been taking my dog to Petco for three years, and I always handle her grooming and vet appointments online. I am also a vital member and I have never heard about NOT to book last minute or NOT to book online because of my dog is a medium poodle. This location, however, consistently cancels on us whenever a full bath and haircut are involved--they only kept an appointment back in April because it was bath-only. They've made it clear they just don't want to work with poodles because of the extra effort required, despite the fact that I always add upgraded services and tip generously. Save yourself the hassle. I'll gladly drive a bit further to the Fairfield or Vacaville Petco locations from now on. They always welcome my dog and treat her like family.
