Amazing, caring, professional, knowledgeable, reassuring- brainstorming all the words that come to mind when I think of stable dog training. Our 15 month old, male, French bulldog has been struggling with resource guarding and aggression since day one. We tried doggy day care and another trainer and were unsuccessful in obtaining significant improvements. Within seconds of meeting Mari and Griff I knew things would be different. Apollo did a two week board and train with e-collar training and we now have a dog who listens, responds appropriately and shows ALL the love. This was the best decision we made for not only Apollo but for our family to ensure a life full of fun, adventure and safety. If you're wondering if you should take the step for your dog- we strongly encourage it. Also, they only take two dogs at a time, have security cameras, a large outdoor space, their own well behaved dogs and weekly training classes- oh and they even took Apollo for a welcome visit at the vet to get comfy! I know Apollo misses you (and Griffs beard) greatly!

Mari and Griff are absolutely amazing! They k is every dog is different and they adjust methods that work for you and the dog you have in front of you. I have taken both my dogs, who are at different levels in their training to the group classy. I totally love the pack walks , great trainers!

Mari and Griff took care of our baby girl Cherry and boarded her for 4 days. Exceptional experience. Many updates throughout the day with videos, and Cherry had a blast. Very safe environment with not to many dogs. I highly recommend !

Astonishing. Stable helped turn our abandoned rescue dog who was fearful and aggressive into my best beloved friend in life, she now walks with a confidence i have never seen in any other dog in my life. Mari has a way with animals that she can translate into English for us to understand. Truly a great trainer who encourages strong ethical bonds with your companions and also helps you understand the why's behind the actions they do. I would recommend anyone reach out and have that conversation with stable. You may walk away learning something new. Thank you Mari and Griff. You guys helped Sasha and I become best friends in life. I wouldn't be here with her if it wasn't for you two.

Personally I loved the classes, I loved the positive enforcement approach to dog training. And I loved the explanation. They made dog behavior make sense.

We take our rescue puppy, Zero, to the puppy socialization classes on Tuesdays and Saturdays. He started out hiding under our chairs and after 3 weeks is starting to play with the other puppies! We're so happy with his socialization progress, especially because he has no other outlet yet while he's only partially vaccinated (puppies require 2 of 3 vaccine rounds). We're also so glad to have the trainers' help when assessing his play, Zero is our first puppy so we don't yet understand what his behavior means; Seth and Beth are incredibly helpful in interpreting what our pup is feeling! The trainers, led by Seth and Beth, give excellent lessons in obedience; they've really helped me see how "tricks" like sitting or touching are the foundation for good behavior later on like being home alone or recall. They also take time at the end of each class to make individualized recommendations, which has helped a ton with our puppy's biting. With lots of at-home practice, our puppy has learned a lot of really great behaviors; now that he's playing with other pups, he's starting to get distracted in class, but we're so thankful to have the trainers' help in redirecting him! The puppy classes are a mix of training and play with alternating 10-15 min sessions of each, which allows socialization and prevents the pups from getting bored of training. The trainers here really balance training and socialization well (which we never could have done on our own), they know just when to let our puppy play and when to give him boundaries. If you're thinking of taking your puppy here, all I can say is "DO IT!"

We are so happy with our experience and the results that were achieved with our pup. From the first call Alec was professional, very kind and answered all of my questions. She outlined her pricing, services offered and listened to determine the best solution/plan for our dog. Everything that we discussed was clearly summarized in writing. Alec is very kind, patient, and knows how to effectively communicate and help your pet reach their full potential. She uses positive reinforcement to teach the pups. We are very happy with the service that we received. Our dog stayed with her for a week and over that week she sent us videos of our pups progress, videos of our dog having a great time. The videos and updates just further gave us even more peace of mind. Once the training was completed she provided us with a detailed written plan that we could use at home and she allowed me to video tape her as she walked thru all of the new commands that were taught. If you are on the fence about selecting a trainer please consider giving Alec a call. Your pet will be in good hands.

If we could give them 10 million stars, we would! Bethany and Chris are not only the BEST dog…read moretrainers you'll ever find, they are even better people. Our two dogs, Riley and Lucy, were very anxious and very yappy corgis, so we knew we needed help. They went through their extensive training program while we were away on vacation and when we came back, they were almost unrecognizable. They learned so much and we learned even more in terms of how to better care for them, how to effectively walk them and also how to utilize the e-collars. Needless to say, they are now the best walkers and they never bark when we play fetch. Since then, we have relied on Bethany and Chris to watch our doggies occasionally and we always feel confident that they are being cared for in such a loving but controlled environment. We could not recommend Bethany and Chris enough. In fact, our dogs are doing another board and train later this summer just for some obedience maintenance and I know they can't wait to be with them again! Thank u guys-- you've transformed our girls and our lives for the better!

This really helped with Lola's anxiety and readjustment to the new apartment. I sent Lola back for a tune-up in Fall 2020 when I started school and moved again. In March, Lola boarded at RBR while I was away for a weekend trip. Bethany worked with me on pick-up and drop-off as I live far away and have a crazy work/school schedule. Lola's e-collar and remote stopped working (at separate times) and Bethany was able to help me get them replaced. Much appreciated! Bethany and her team have been so so so amazing. I am forever grateful for their wisdom and advice. Bethany has been flexible and helpful with me through the many environmental changes I've had to go through in the past couple of years (which subsequently affected Lola). She has also been available to answer questions and concerns I have had after training. RBR's online videos are super helpful when I need reminders and extra training tips. I'm so glad my coworker told me about RBR.

I really wanted to get him trained so that he stopped pulling on the leash because I'm pregnant and I've had enough of him almost pulling me over when he gets excited or decides he wants to veer in a direction other than where I'm heading. I called multiple dog trainers who also said Leroy would need a training program for 12 weeks or an intensive doggy boot camp for 10 day or more. Prices ranged between $1,200 - 3,000. I called Duane who said he can help me in one private session. I was surprised, excited, and a little skeptical. He got me in right away which was also fantastic. We show up for our training and Duane met us outside and gave us a lesson in doggy obedience. He then proceeded to give Leroy the beat down of his life. A necessary one, he needed to learn how to listen. Huskies are notorious babies and extravagant drama queens. Poor Leroy, he howled and cried like the memes you see online. I felt bad for the neighbors. It was painful to watch but I definitely felt that Duane knew what he was doing and he wasn't hurting him. It was an intense hour. Was it worth it? Yes! I finally got the husky that no longer pulls on the leash. It's been the best thing ever and I'm so glad we did it. Thank you so much!

Our toddler even gives our dogs instructions for when to eat her food and to sit and give permission before taking a treat. Thanks so much Duane! I know we don't communicate at all since our last training but wanted to let you know we appreciate all of your guidance which lives on here and is shared with others. You're the best!

However, I've had consistent issues with scheduling and communication. Appointments have started late, and I've had to follow up multiple times just to book sessions. While I understood being charged for a missed appointment, I've also had to remind staff about payments and encountered difficulty getting responses--most recently calling twice without securing a booking. The training itself is strong, but the administrative side needs improvement, as it impacts the overall experience and business I hope this feedback reaches the trainer directly. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. Due to these multiple issues, I will be finding a new Trainer. My dog will be very sad. She very much loves her Trainer.

I sent…read moremy 6 month old puppy to this training facility for one month because she showed rambunctious, out of control and slightly aggressive behavior. My puppy was out of control one day to the point something needed to be done and a friend recommended katana saying they were the best. They were able to take my dog right away because it was a bit of an emergency situation (as I said, she had done something shocking and very bad) which was amazing of them to make a next day opening. One month passed and I went to go pick up my dog and did the final two training sessions, and now I'm wondering why I have not done this with all of my dogs, as I have three dogs (now only one is properly trained) it was definitely worth it and I am amazed with how well-behaved my dog is and so many commands that she knows, it's incredible!! I cried tears of joy getting her back and seeing her improvement. I know I have a good dog for life now, and I can grow from this training and keep training her. I have changed as a dog owner! The other amazing thing she was there over the holidays, and they sent me the cutest Thanksgiving and Christmas photos of her all dressed up, and they also sent me videos of her being very well-behaved in public and doing commands. Now I show everyone these videos, telling them how wonderful my dog is, when a couple months ago, quite frankly, she scared me. Highly recommend!!
