She showed signs of separation anxiety, crate aversion, general nervousness, and didn't seem super comfortable around other dogs. Right away, after reading positive after positive review, I enrolled her in this training program, and it's been an absolute game changer! After a short overnight board and train, she came back crate trained -- like magic. She settled into her crate that first night back at home (relatively no drama!), and now she can sleep pretty peacefully in it whether we're home or traveling. She's also now comfortable staying alone when I'm at work vs the constant supervision that was needed initially. Any time I run into a roadblock with her training at home, the team is always there to offer off the clock recommendations and methods to try. She now does off-leash pack walks with the group and coexists with all the other good dogs there. It's honestly more progress than I could've hoped for this early on. She still goes to daycare and occasional training where I get to join and learn alongside her. We continue to work on new things and ways for her to be a better and better dog and I can see it resulting in her being happier and happier as well! Eric and the whole team (Katia, Alondra, Jeff...you guys are awesome!!) are simply fantastic. I'm so grateful I found this program -- it's made such a difference in both of our lives! Highly recommend.

With Eric's guidance, we've watched our cattle dog gain confidence and transition into a much better state of mind. She is able to focus better, listen to commands, and make better decisions even with distractions around her. She has become a much more happier, playful dog and will even play with our friends and family, which is a huge change from the scared dog she was before. The progress has been incredible and everyone around us has noticed the difference. Eric continues to work closely with us, tailoring his training to fit both our dog's unique needs and our daily lives. As our dog grows, the training evolves too, helping us navigate new challenges and build on our progress. The Follow The Leader K9 team is outstanding. We can't recommend them enough. Reaching out to them was one of the best decisions we've ever made.

Anne Swan of Perfect Puppy Academy is simply the best! I first met her about 12 years ago when she…read moretrained my sister-in-law's goldendoodle, so naturally, I called her to sign up at Perfect Puppy Academy with our new golden retriever puppy. We took 2 puppy classes with her and have also engaged her to come to our home for some private classes. She is helping us work through some oddities with our puppy, like figuring out how to get our dog to get in the car... something she isn't keen to do. Or figuring out why she becomes scared when you sit something on top of her crate, like a shoe! Anne is amazing at putting herself into a dog's mind and understanding what they may be thinking. Anne's all about positive puppy training, which jives with our values. She is really incredible at how she has such firm control over our puppy in such a short period. She is literally the dog whisperer. She whispers to our puppy, who stops everything to listen to what she's saying. I've never seen anything like it! Anne's classes and home visits are both fairly affordable, but it's important to practice at home the things she teaches you. She packs a tremendous amount of information into her lessons, so pay close attention and take notes! If you can consistently do what Anne says, you will wind up with a well-behaved dog who is a good citizen that people will want to hang out with. That's really the bottom line and the best thing you can do for your pup. It's easy to give Anne and Perfect Puppy Academy my highest 5-star recommendation.

I was used to traning Bernners and Golden retrievers so this was a brand new experience for me. We took three of her classes so far and I have to say Anne made me feel 1000% welcomed even if I wanted to do puppy class two over. Our JR was not food motivated and I had a hard time training her with toys. Even though my puppy was not the perfect puppy in the class I gained so so so much helpful information from Anne. I considered it a mommy and me class just for puppies. If you are looking for a puppy class or a trainer perfect puppy academy with Anne is the way to go.

Ask for a tour when you call--the view from the top of the hill cannot be beat and the looks on the dogs' faces show the shear joy they get from running! Susie and her staff are fun, caring, and fantastic with the dogs that are under their care. I know our dog looks forward to his stays at the ranch and our family feels good knowing that he is having fun and is well cared for. This is the perfect place for you if you are looking to give your dog something less depressing than being stuck in a typical boarding facility. The rates are reasonable, the dogs are happy. Great for the active dog who loves to run and enjoys frolicking with other dogs. Susie even sends us little videos during our dog's stay so we can vicariously enjoy watching him, for instance, leap into a large tub of water for a swim. :) We are so glad that we found Susie and the ranch!

At first we were super stoked to find this ranch, where our dog could run and play with others. We…read morerescued our bull terrier mix last November from the local SB shelter. We set up a play date knowing we were unsure how he would do (not really knowing his history or past experiences). We visited the ranch on a few play dates before we decided to leave him there while we traveled for a week on vacation. The day play dates were perfect for our rescue dog. He'd come home tired and exhausted, not to mention well exercised. He was always excited to go back. We did learn, after our first play date- that he cannot be run with other dogs- as he gets too excited and starts to push his weight around, causing some annoyances for other dogs. That being said- the ranch was willing to work with him and stated they wouldn't run him in a group setting, yet instead run him in a horse pin up the road. We were stoked they were willing to make the extra effort and work with him. So the time came for us to leave him for a week while we traveled on vacation. We were out of cell range for the week, but had left phone numbers where we could be reached on a landline phone. Not once did we receive a phone call. The night before our return, we were able to find cell service and texted the ranch about what time we were planning on picking up our dog. At that time they stated he had been in a little scuffle, but it was nothing big, not to worry, and asked if we wanted them to bathe him (an extra $25), to which we said no. The next afternoon, we arrived at the ranch to find our poor pooch pretty scraped up. They had just finished running him so he was exhausted. We gathered his food and felt like they were rushing us out- stating they had other dogs to run. So we got in the car and headed home. It wasn't until we arrived home and bathed him that we saw the extent of his injuries. He had 2 big scrapes on his ear, 5 good sized scrapes across his forehead, 2 deep cuts on his nose, 2 puncture wounds in his neck, and all his paws were bloodied and his nails has been pulled away from his pads. Not only were his wounds much worse than we expected- but they were full of dirt and grime. I felt like they didn't even bother to clean him up after he sustained these wounds. When we asked about what went down while we were gone, the owner kept changing her story, that he was actually in 2 fights, and that he went after one of her ranch dogs (that he yanked the leash out of her hand and attacked her dog). Yet- at pick up, nothing was said about any other dog being injured, yet they made it very clear- that had our dog injured another dog- that we would be responsible for any vet bills. Yet here our dog was totally battered and scarred and not once did they offer to pay for his vet bills. Nor did they bother to tend to his wounds. It has now been 3 weeks since we picked up our dog from Sam's Doggy Dude Ranch, and he still doesn't have any hair on his scrapes, one of his puncture wounds on his neck is still healing, and I'm pretty sure his black nose will be scarred forever with 2 nice pink stripes from the cuts his sustained. His feet, pads and nails have healed nicely, as we soaked them in epson salts twice daily followed by using paw conditioning cream. They totally over-ran him up there EVERY SINGLE DAY! We had stated at drop off he didn't need to be run every day, as he's used to neighborhood walks and bike rides. Overall I feel the ranch was negligent in watching our dog. Any owner would be disappointed if they arrived to pick up their dog and saw him in this poor condition. I would have only given them one star, but I settled on 2 since the single day play dates seemed to work well for us. The ranch was willing to work with him, knowing he was a rescue and we didn't know his history. The staff at the ranch seemed nice and caring, so perhaps this incident was just a mishap. They did rip up our check, and didn't charge us for his week long stay, but I still feel they should have taken better care of our dog. Would I recommend this place to my friends? No. Would we ever return to Sam's Doggy Dude Ranch? No. And we're super sad about it too, because in the beginning we thought we had hit the jack pot.
