Everything was great. Total professionals here and very trust worthy. It's great to have a back up place for something like this. We do take our pups with us as much as we can but sometimes you go places they can't go and sometimes you can't get relatives to watch them, this is the next best thing. We did use another service closer to us once before and was not as good. These folks are definitely good. 5 stars!

Paul was so helpful. He met us where we were and helped us make a plan to address our specific…read moreconcerns. Our pup is very reactive on walks. He's a good boy and does a lot of things right, but we've been lost on how to handle his reactivity. Paul listened to us and really paid attention to our dog's behavior and personality. He packed so much advice into our one on one session and we finally feel like we have a plan that makes sense. As the name would suggest, he has a very positive style of training, which is awesome. While some trainers would recommend using aversive training techniques to "control" dogs (no thank you), Paul's approach was to take our situation (excessive barking at other dogs on walks) and to make a plan that is fun and engaging for both us and our dog. It's going to be a big improvement in how we work with our dog. It will take work & intention to change our habits, but that's the whole thing with dog training. It's really us humans who need the training. There's no magic button to "fix" your dog. Paul helps you see that your dog is responding to your routines and the way you communicate with him/her, whether you're communicating on purpose or by accident. I should also mention that the plan he gave us is very doable--we are not very experienced with dog training & we have full time jobs, but we can definitely fit this training plan into our daily routines. We haven't had time yet to see the results, so I plan to update in a few weeks. I really believe that our plan can only make our dog (and us) feel happier, more confident, and far less confused about our communication.

We contacted Paul about our Cane Corso, Duke (110 Lbs. Dog) who we rescued about 7 months ago now…read morefrom BARCS Animal Shelter. He recently began having issues with meeting new people, minor biting/nipping with said new people, sound anxiety and walking near people/dogs in general which we attributed to him becoming possessive of us. Paul was incredible right from the start. Without us even knowing, Paul evaluated Duke and knew what kind of dog he was. He implemented techniques and strategies that Duke caught onto immediately and thrived with. I am honestly shocked how quickly and easily Paul engaged with Duke and had him laying on the floor and staying in place on command, something he's never done before. We now have several techniques and strategies that we will be using daily to help Duke become the best dog he can be. I would 100% recommend Paul to anyone who need assistance with dog training, one session is really all you need!

Sierra is awesome - I met her at Magnuson Park's off leash area where we were both just walking our…read morepups. We would talk and I loved her tips about dog care. So I jumped at the chance to get my dog in when she said she was starting her own dog walking and dog care business. She's thorough - all new dogs require a home visit and she'll talk with you about any concerns/questions you have, as well as make sure your dog fits in with the pack. And the packs are small: just four or five dogs to each human at the park. So they get a ton of attention and play time! Most dog walkers I've seen have up to 20 dogs!! "Adventure time" is $30 dolalrs per hour. And that hour is guaranteed, regardless of traffic. It starts when the dogs get inside the park, not when they get picked up! And you can see instagram updates to make sure your pup had a blast. The great thing - you can get all kinds of cool packages for discounts if you're a regular customer and book 3 walks a week for a month, or several months in a row. Leashless also has the widest service area of any dog waking company I've seen! Check their map! They even serve West Seattle... You can also get other services from Sierra like light grooming, nail trimming, feeding for a fee. She's great, trustworthy. I can't say enough good things. Hopefully she expands into other realms of dog care so I can just rely on her exclusively!

Compared to boarding at an off-site location, it was less stressful and less expensive. Rompas also took the time to post pictures of our dog so that we could see snapshots of their time together. When we arrived home, our apartment was in at least as clean (maybe cleaner?) condition than we left it. Rompas seemed to be very knowledgeable about how to interact with Dogs and how to discourage negative behavior gently. I highly recommend Seattle Dog Zen and Rompas specifically to anyone who needs in-home pet care or doesn't want to deal with the stress and expense of boarding a pet at the vet. It was a great experience and I will certainly be a repeat customer.

We started noticing increased anxiety, aggression, and reactivity, especially on walks around our apartment and around strangers. Luckily, we found Matt online, and he has been a total game-changer. What truly impressed us was Matt's depth of knowledge, you could tell he really understood the unique personality and needs of the dogs he worked with, and this translated into tailored training recommendations. Matt has helped build Ollie's confidence so much! Ollie is now much calmer and significantly less reactive to strangers and other triggers. Ollie has also learned to look to us more in anxiety-inducing situations, which is invaluable. He is able to dismiss stuff that previously would have set him off! Matt helped improve his leash walking so much, and Ollie is now able to heel like a rockstar--so much less pulling and way more focus! His reactivity around the neighborhood to triggers has decreased significantly. Plus, Ollie has learned some cool new tricks, like how to stop on command. Matt provided many extra tools for our toolbox when navigating tricky situations. We truly can't recommend him enough!
