My 5 months old puppy turned into a shark and did all the things we didn't expect such as biting,…read morejumping, barking, growling, and much more. I thought I can just follow tutorials online, but none of the methods worked. I decided to get a professional and found Master Dog Training through Yelp. I read all the reviews and was impressed with how many dogs he had trained. Different breeds and ages. I texted him and he provided me all the information and we confirmed a date. I saw a promotional price for Temple City, but since I am at another city, it is a different price. I did text him a day before our appointment to remind him just in case, per our agreement. My puppy is getting the "DOG OBEDIENCE TRAINING: Commands and Problem Behaviors, pulling on leash, dumpster diving, counter surfing, mild barking, potty training, jumping, digging, chewing, nipping, not listening. NOT FOR DOGS WITH AGGRESSION or FEAR!" A total of 5 sessions, once a week, 55 minutes per sessions. This training is done at my place and indoor. By the end of his training, he learned 18 commands in 5 weeks! Please note that it also depends on your effort and if you're training your dog daily with what was taught. Mike is great with our puppy! Turns out he owns the same breed as me. From my perspective, he trained my husband, me and my puppy altogether. If you're doing something wrong, he would tell you. He is patient, always on time, and so kind to my puppy. I especially love the graduation ceremony. I was holding in my tears. Overall, we are very happy with Mike and the result.

We are very happy with Michael's approach to training. He is effective and nurturing, but firm and very patient. We prefer his style of training as it is supportive and encouraging. When discipline is needed, we have firm commands that Michael taught us. He also provides tips for helpful products like corrector spray and developmental and age appropriate toys. His "graduation" ceremonies are so fun! We had a standing weekly appointment, but Michael was flexible when things came up and responds to any calls/texts in a timely manner. We plan to return for advanced training to continue our puppy's learning.

We waited a few weeks before writing this review so we could see how Soba adjusted after coming…read morehome from training. She's settled back into our household beautifully, and her training has been going incredibly well. We practice her commands every day, and she's noticeably calmer, more responsive, and an absolute joy to take on walks. Overall, the time she spent away was well worth it. She came home with a solid foundation, and we've gained the knowledge and tools to continue reinforcing her training. We'll definitely be sending her back for boarding and refresher training while we're abroad later this year because we couldn't trust Juan and his team more. Juan has also been excellent with communication, always taking the time to answer our questions and provide guidance. We highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for quality dog training.

Let me start by saying I would give Juan and his team a 100/10, and here's why:…read more When I was looking for training for my 4-month-old Cavapoo, I did a lot of research before making a decision. From day one, Juan provided exceptional customer service. He was never pushy, took the time to explain the training process, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and was always easy to reach whenever I needed him. I ultimately chose the 5-week off-leash obedience program. As difficult as it was to leave my puppy for that long, it was absolutely worth it. My dog came home calmer, more confident, and with a much better understanding of commands such as stay, down, place, come, yes, and no. She listens significantly better and is clearly more focused and well-mannered. Oh and let me not forgot to mention she is now crate trained and potty trained. She now sleeps comfortably in her crate and understands that potty time happens outside. The facility itself is beautiful, private, and extremely clean. I also want to give a special shoutout to Dom for the incredible care and dedication he showed my dog during her stay. If you're considering professional training for your dog, I highly recommend reaching out to Juan and his team. The investment was one of the best decisions I've made for my dog. and I'm so grateful for the foundation they've helped build for her future.

It's a cliché, but I never write reviews. This review is my one exception because I cannot…read morerecommend Diana more highly. She is dog whisperer, behavioralist and human therapist! From our very first visit, my very precocious reactive puppy immediately responded to her calm, loving demeanor. In that moment I knew she was the right trainer for us. She took the time to understand both my puppy and me, assessing our home environment, my work from home needs, and my puppy's unique personality to create a unique tailored approach. Diana helped me better understand my puppy and her behavior, as well as how she was responding to my own behavior. I learned that some of the practices I had used successfully with my previous dogs were actually contributing to my puppy's reactivity. We started with one-on-one training sessions at home, with homework in between. When we realized my environment was actually inhibiting our progress and making impulse control more challenging for my puppy, Diana suggested a board-and-train. This was a game changer. Diana provided regular video updates with narrated explanations and guidance to help me understand what she was doing and why. I was amazed at the progress my dog was making! My puppy emerged with all the beautiful characteristics she was born with - smart, energetic, outgoing and empathetic - but now she is calmer, more responsive, and much better able to manage her impulses rather than reacting to everything around her. Included in the board-and-train are several one-on-ones with me to ensure I have the tools to maintain and build on my puppy's progress. Diana has us practice not only at home, but also in places and environments we frequent, so that her training translates into our everyday lives. Diana is incredibly thoughtful in her approach, genuinely invested in both dogs and their humans, and always responsive to questions and issues as they arise. My puppy and I adore her. We both recommend Diana to anyone who not only wants to train their dog, but also to understand their dog and learn how to support them in becoming their best selves.

We are so happy to post a message about Diana and Deep Connection. We contacted her at the…read morebeginning of the year because we had adopted a dog that had been in two shelters, had puppies in the shelter at 1 year old and had experienced other traumas in her past. Diana worked with us and gave us the tools to help her with confidence-building, trusting people and acclimating into our family that already had a spoiled and untrained dog. After many sessions and homework, we now have a dog that has so much more confidence, has learned to self soothe and is so much less stressed. She fits into our family perfectly and is like a different dog from the one we brought home that day. She was so skittish the first day that she shook even when we opened the refrigerator door. I can't say enough about Diana and her incredible knowledge of dog behavior, in addition to her years of experience. We are so grateful that we were referred to her! Thank you, Diana!!

Jenina is absolutely amazing. We have 3 huskies in our family and we would have been lost without…read moreher training us as much as she trained our pups. We have probably recommended her to 10 other friends/coworkers who hired her, and each of them have probably recommended Jenina to like 5 people who hired her as well. Her prices are great, her ability to train dogs with any type of issue (reactive, leash pullers, anxious, etc.) is top notch, and you can tell she really cares about each dog she trains. After our neighbors hired her on our recommendation she wanted to stop by and see our dog, even though it had probably been 2-3 years since she trained her. Mika says "awooooo" Jenina, and thanks you for all your training.

My girlfriend and I have been working with Jenina at Smart Paws for a month based on a glowing…read morerecommendation from our neighbor who worked with her. Jenina is outstanding. She is a detailed, positive dog trainer, who is also great at training us, on how to properly walk our dog Charlie. He had issues barking at other dogs and thanks to her he is becoming more calm and we have learned how to work with him to curb his behavior. It has come to our attention that there is another dog trainer in the area who got a similar company name to Jenina and he is awful. Some of the criticism of him has been accidently hurtled at Jenina. This is truly unfortunate for her and I hope the facts come to light!

We also have a small dog (chi) at home and we were worried about how to get them to acclimate and live together peacefully. Spoiler: they are now besties! Help came in the form of Carrie! She is funny, (not only one of the funniest and KIND, humans we've ever met, but also extremely knowledgeable and professional. She spent hours with us at our first meeting and we learned SO much. A lot of dog training is about "human training" IMO, and the tools she gave us changed the game for us. Their approach is based on understanding how a dog thinks/behaves and adjusting oneself to the dog's pov. It is crazy how using the tools Carrie gave us worked and did so, fast! And there's always ongoing homework and tools to use to help correct behaviors as they come up. And that is on us to continue that work. We saw big improvements right away, Especially with our chihuahua, (because if you have a Chihuahua, you know they have a lot of personality packed in a tiny body with a lot of opinions) and the tools that she gave us helped us establish ourselves as the leaders of the pack. Carrie is really like a dog psychologist. She has an innate understanding of dogs and was able to translate a lot of the anxious behavior my dog was exhibiting and helped us to address it in a calm and gentle manner. He really responds to what we are asking of him (be calm/don't bark unnecessarily,etc. and makes a HUGE difference in the quality our lives. Additionally, a lot of the tools that she gave us helped our big (newer) dog to have more confidence and as a shelter dog, whose history was unknown, it has also been a game changer. He now can interact confidently with strangers, lives peacefully, with our little dog, and does not pull on the leash and responds to basic commands Overall, he seems very balanced. Through training with Bark Busters, we can see that our dog has more confidence and is more trusting with us and the result is a very happy dog... Moreover, as our dogs grow and evolve, we know that Carrie is always available to us by text, email and open to any visits we need as things come up. We feel that Bark busters was absolutely worth the investment and we will continue to use their services. Thank you Carrie and Pasha for explaining and helping us with our "kiddos."

We chose Bark Busters because of their promise that the high upfront cost was a lifetime…read moreinvestment. We were told we'd receive ongoing support, customized training, and help throughout our dog's life--even if our circumstances changed or we moved. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. When Henry was a puppy, we had one in-home training session and, if I remember correctly, one follow-up email much later. As he matured, he began developing some unexpected behavioral issues despite being neutered and having been a very friendly puppy. I reached out to our trainers, Paksha and the other trainer on our account, multiple times to schedule follow-up training that was included in the program. The biggest obstacle was scheduling. Appointments were only offered during the workweek for follow up. I had to reschedule once because of an emergency, and another time because I realized my husband should be present so we could both learn and consistently reinforce the training. I was told they would get back to me with weekend availability. They never did. That was months ago, and I never heard back. We paid thousands of dollars specifically because Bark Busters advertised lifetime support, but when we actually needed that support, it simply wasn't there. The contrast between Henry's training with Bark Busters and the excellent training we received years ago from a local Burbank trainer is significant. Charlie, our other dog- three years younger than Henry, has outstanding manners because of those sessions in group training. Henry never received the ongoing guidance that Bark Busters promised, and we're left feeling like we paid a premium price for a service that effectively ended after the initial visit. If you're considering Bark Busters because of the "lifetime support" promise, I would reconsider... For us, it did not live up to the expectations that were set when we signed up.

In a few short visits in Francesca's group classes, we've all experienced Honey's growth with confidence and trust. Honey has been leery of larger dogs, but she's much more comfortable around them, as am I. Francesca has offered excellent advice on how to properly introduce Honey to other dogs, while drastically reducing her fear-based aggression, which started once Honey was bit by a coyote a few months ago. Francesca's training has strengthened my relationship with my pup, has helped me better communicate with her, and has introduced me to other wonderful pet parents. Don't hesitate - you've found your new dog trainer in Francesca!

My dog Kimchi is very reactive with dogs, runners, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. It became so bad that I would purposefully make sure that I wasn't walking him through certain streets and times of the day. Feeling extremely frustrated after walks became the norm. And the anxiety knowing that I couldn't control my dog on walks was crippling. All in all, I was at my wits' end when I reached out to Francesca. Francesca stands out from other dog trainers because she is truly a phenomenal teacher. From the get-go, she exudes a very calm energy that puts you at ease during the training session. Throughout the class, she shares her wealth of knowledge with you in a thoughtful, patient, and intentional manner. She's a master at breaking things down to a tee and addressing any confusion you may have. And she's super sweet too. About the training: She builds up her students (both human and canine) in a way where you as the owner get to make autonomous, good choices because you are fully informed. She doesn't just tell you What to do - she explains Why your dog is acting the way they are, How to address it, and Why it's important to address it that specific way. There are no punitive actions taken on the dog when correcting behavior, it's about building up your dog and praising him when he engages with you. It's all super helpful. The training sessions have built up my confidence as a dog owner because I'm making better choices. My walks with Kimchi have become so much better - I don't need to time or map out my routes anymore. I don't have to worry, because I know what to do. Honestly, I feel like she's trained me more than my actual dog, lol. I have a much better connection with Kimchi now. Thank You, Francesca, for all that you do for dog owners out here in Los Angeles!! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a dog trainer!
