He took time to get to know our family and tailor Hank's training to his personality and needs. He is incredibly knowledgeable and we have seen a huge improvement in our dog's behavior. Hanky is happier and now we know how to support him in order to avoid aggression. We also started taking both of our dogs to EveryDog Daycamp and it has been amazing to have a safe place where our dogs can play with other pups without me worrying something might happen to them. I can't recommend Dave and EveryDog enough!

However, I can tell you now from experience this actually works very well. However, this is for behavioral correction. If you have a naughty dog that is jumping all over people, barking at everybody, jumping on your furniture, not getting along with other dogs -- then this is for you. If you want your dog to listen to commands like sit, stay, down, place -- then this is probably not for you. I am very grateful for The Dog Guru. Our dog was jumping all over our five-year-old daughter and her friends resulting in at least one crying kid every time. Our dog would jump all over the furniture and almost know that she wasn't supposed to be doing it yet, wouldn't listen to our commands. Sure enough one 2 hour session and this was all corrected. The methods are not for the faint of heart however, but trust the process and the results will speak for themselves. There is no physical harm being done to your animal, in fact there is no negative physicality to it at all - he wouldn't have so many great reviews if there was. Just a very direct process to assert yourself as the leader of the house. Thanks again, Dog Guru!

No doubt an excellent trainer for the military and if that's what you're looking for he may be just your speed ! His accolades can be found in so many of his advertisements which I'm sure are no doubt accurate. If you're going to pay a sum in advance to schedule a conversation, (as I did) , you may have to call him to remind him to call you on the last day that the call was promised . While, this truth may not sit well and I didn't actually hire him, no matter because your mileage may vary. He is a busy guy. All the best to you all.

In short: Best investment ever for my dog. Mike arrived at 8am. We had a 50-55 minute learning session on DOGs from their culture, through the do's & don'ts, then we brought Maximus in and slowly applied the training methods. What Mike taught us, and what he did with Maximus, is absolutely fabulous. Maximus is more calm & less "high-strung", listens better, responds to me better, seems happier than before K9 Mentor training. PLUS, his aggressiveness has seemed to diminish greatly since the training session. Mike's training is simple, straight-forward, easy to learn (& eventually master) methods. I am completely satisfied with Mike/K9 Mentor Dog Training and would highly recommend him, especially with large dogs. Happy Dog Training & Fight On!

We were so happy with everything that we decided to progress further by sending her to his 2 week boot camp at 16 months old. When I asked why such a good dog would go to boot camp, Vladae responded with, "Same reason that the smartest kids go to university, to become all they can be and hone their skills." That made sense to me! If it was any other boot camp I would have been nervous about my baby. I know how well Vladae treats his campers though and his focus on health and exercise. "Only the tired dog is the good dog" Thank you Vladae!

As a first-time Cavapoo owner, I felt completely overwhelmed with the process of dog training and…read morehad no idea what to expect. It honestly brought back the feeling of being a first-time parent--questioning every decision, but without a nurse hotline for guidance. My husband and I were especially struggling with how to manage Chloe around our young kids. She was very unruly, reactive on walks, and difficult to control around other dogs. We found SoCal Dog Training through a friend's referral, and choosing Vladae ended up being one of the best decisions we've made. I'll admit, I was skeptical at first--so many trainers promise results--but Vladae truly delivers. The onboarding process was seamless. The initial FaceTime consultation helped set clear expectations, and I really appreciated how upfront and honest he was about the work required. What stood out most to me was his long-term commitment--knowing I could always come back for refreshers gave me a lot of confidence that I wasn't just getting a short-term fix. The training sessions are where the transformation really happens. After each session, it genuinely felt like we had a new dog--but that's also where the responsibility comes in. You have to consistently follow through with the exercises he gives you. In many ways, it reminded me that investing in my dog's future takes the same consistency and commitment as investing in my two kids. She's now quite literally my third kid. Chloe used to be extremely reactive--barking, pulling on the leash, and even jumping up on our toddlers. Vladae helped me understand the root of her behavior and showed me how to properly address it. Now she's calm, more confident, and walking her has become something I actually enjoy. Seeing that transformation has been incredibly rewarding. It wasn't an easy process, but it was absolutely worth it. Also, a special shout-out to Antonina for being so kind, responsive, and accommodating with scheduling.

Sal is amazing! We were at a loss after already completing basic training with our pup, as he was…read morestill struggling with negative behaviors we needed to correct, including nipping, guarding, fear, biting at the vet, and anxiety with strangers. We brought our 2-year-old rescue chihuahua mix, Harry, to Sal in hopes that he could help us address these more significant trauma-related issues. Harry was a tough nut to crack, but after the one-week board and train, we were blown away by the positive changes we saw. Sal and his team made incredible breakthroughs with Harry. He was able to be held and touched by the trainers, stopped guarding, and became noticeably calmer and happier overall. The post-board and train "tune-ups" were also extremely effective, allowing us to troubleshoot concerns during our 1:1 follow-up sessions with Sal. Harry has continued to return to Sal for day boarding, touch-ups, and additional socialization with other dogs, which he loves. He is always excited to see Sal and the training staff, which tells us the experience was truly positive for him. Now that we've completed the initial training and several boarding sessions, Harry is doing great. We can have people enter our home, he can go to the vet, get his teeth cleaned with no anesthesia, and receive care without needing to be muzzled or heavily medicated, and he is much more compliant overall. A bonus is that we can now confidently leave Harry for a day or vacation boarding, knowing he is in the best care and continuing his training while we're away. We can't recommend Sal and his team enough for their incredible work, professionalism, and responsiveness with Harry.

I was unable to stop her. After reading all the Yelp reviews, and doing a deep dive on ChatGPT looking for any negative reviews anywhere, I decided to meet Sal. When I met him, his dogs were impeccably trained, and I felt I could trust him to treat Piper firmly but kindly. Even though I was nervous about leaving Piper with a stranger, I committed to the two weeks of boarding. When I came back, Piper was a changed dog on the leash. No more pulling. The follow-up lessons were good and the pack walks are excellent for desensitizing your dog to other dogs. I definitely recommend Sal to anyone who has trouble with their dog's behavior.

PetSmart Grooming Review…read more I had a very disappointing experience at the PetSmart grooming salon. I brought my dog, Zoe, in yesterday for a walk-in nail trim. When I entered the salon, the associate named Liz was on her phone. She asked if I had an appointment, and I explained it was just a walk-in nail cut. She told me to wait "one second" while she finished texting. She remained on her phone for a good 2-3 minutes before helping me. After finally checking the computer, she told me my dog's vaccination was expired as of November 19. I explained that Zoe is fully vaccinated and that this didn't sound right. Liz insisted it was expired and argued with me. To resolve this, I immediately contacted Vetco, where my dog receives her vaccines. I even scheduled an appointment the same day. Vetco then called me back and confirmed that Zoe's vaccine is valid until 2027. They emailed me the vaccination records right away. I returned to the salon with the emailed proof and showed Liz that my dog is fully vaccinated. Despite this, she said she still could not take my dog and told me to come back another day. This was frustrating, especially since the incorrect information appeared to be entered on PetSmart's side. I should not be inconvenienced or turned away due to an internal error, especially after providing valid documentation. I asked for a manager. The manager did not resolve the issue and said the head of the salon would call me, but no one ever followed up. Overall, the lack of professionalism, phone use while assisting customers, refusal to accommodate after proof was provided, and poor follow-up from management made this a very frustrating experience. I expected better customer service and accountability.
