    We've been doing protection training with Erick for the last 9 months and we've come so far. He helped my dog to build the confidence. It tremendously affected his obedience as well, cause he now can quickly switch his drive. Protection dog is not a scary animal that attack people lol It is loving and protective member of the family!

    Had my 5 month old Boerboel pup join Eric and his wife for the 2 week board and train. Couldn't be any happier!! I've had my pup back home the last 3 days and can see a substantial difference in his behavior and commands. Eric was very communicative during the 2 weeks my pup was gone, sending videos, pictures and texts. I had a peace of mind the entire time. 10/10 recommend reaching out and considering their business if you're looking into training!

    Great place for boarding and training Eric is amazing and very friendly. When we make mistakes he is helpful and patient and shows the correct way to do something. It's not easy owning 140 lbs cane corso but when we finished the board and training I felt my relationship with my dog was stronger than ever! Protection training is our next goal working with Eric I know my dog can go above and beyond.

    Building him up!

    As a client who took obedience training with my Cane Corso at 6 months old, I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Before I would have a ton of worries on my mind when walking him, but now I feel confident taking him anywhere! We are super proud of the progress he has made in the short amount of time. Eric has made the learning process fun and engaging, which helped to keep my pup and myself focused and motivated. With the classes and doing the work, you will definitely see a transformation. We are now continuing with protection training and will also take his future group classes. We have wanted to do protection training from the beginning but we really appreciate how he informed of us everything that comes with it, changes that would have to be made, and what my pup has to work on. Eric leads integrity and his passion. We can't wait to continue our journey!

    At approximately 6 months old, my puppy Bella went to Tactical K9's 2 week board and training program and I couldn't imagine a better outcome! Although she was nervous it has helped improve her stimulation, training, and encouraged new boundaries that I will encourage and apply to her daily puppy life! I plan on Board and training her when she's a bit older too, but I definitely give their hospitality, consistency, and friendliness a 100/10!! Thank you Eric & Nikole!

    We had a new 4 month old American Pocket Bully & had consulted with 2 other trainers/facilities before meeting with Eric. He was highly recommended by Bay Area K9 Assoc. & so happy we went with him before making the trek from Tracy to the South Bay or anywhere else. Having Pit Bulls & Boxers my whole life, we wanted our own immediate family dog [& husband's 1st ever dog] to be properly trained with instilled obedience. Eric was very transparent with us & personable from the beginning. He definitely has the best interest of the puppy & their handlers & is not just looking for profit. We're so happy to have met Eric & his wife & have entrusted him Kaipo's training. We've done basic obedience, some boarding & also group training for Kaipo with Tactical K9s. We're more than happy with the results & can't wait to have Kaipo back when he's fully grown for potential tactical training. We bring our puppy everywhere & always get compliments on how good his obedience is for a puppy! Thanks, Eric & fam!

    My dog Lucy in a stay while a bunch of distractions were nearby. Before training with Eric she'd be chasing the ducks and geese

    I highly recommend eric from tactical k9 s. I've been training with him for about 8 months now. He's really well knowledges with dogs and his enthusiasm for all dogs no matter the the breed or size shows. His business has a small mom and pop attitude making you feel welcomed Everytime we meet. From the dog training perspective my pooch is doing phenomenal. I always get questioned where I got her trained and I refer all my friends and family to him. I'm not saying anywhere that you'll need a year of training or a few months because every dog is different. What I am saying is Eric the lead trainer will help you get to where you wanna take your dog and makes it feel like an enjoyable time instead of an errand.

    I love Camp Bow Wow Tracy but my pups love it more! I have been taking my two dogs, Kenobi and…read moreAnakin, 5x a week since May 2024. I have used every service they offer (day care, bath, nail care, enrichment, etc.) and every time, my pups leave the facility happy and tired. From the jump, they were accommodating and so great with me and my dogs. My older dog passed their interview easily but my little one didn't pass his interview the first time around. But there was no judgment. They quickly assured me he would more than likely pass the 2nd time. After he did pass, they have been so excited every time they come in. Now, they are jumping out of their paws every morning when I take them in the car and they know where we are going. The staff have always been so nice to me when I pick up and drop off. No matter who I deal with, they are always kind and a joy to talk to. I also make sure to check in with them to see if my dogs are having behavioral issues and give them heads up if one of my boys is feeling "spicy" or extra needy any certain day. Or if I am stuck in traffic on my way home and cutting it close to closing time, I call them and let them know I am on the way. That communication goes a long way with my rapport with the staff. And in the end, my pups win out. They get to play and socialize with other humans and dogs and it shows in their behavior out of camp. If you need consistent day care, boarding, and any extras, I can't sing Camp Bow Wow praises enough to anyone in Tracy with pups. If you don't believe me, see the photos below. You can't make up those happy pup photos.

    I've been to most camp bow wow from Reno to Vegas. This is the first time I brought my dog here…read moresince it's closer to our new home. This will be the first and last time I will take my baby here. I booked a private suite with a camera so I can always check on her, that being said , I noticed they don't take the dogs to the play area till 9:30 which is so late compared to the other camp. I called and left messages to check on my baby but never got a call back. They didn't even let me know that my dog had diarrhea and vomited not until I asked them. Very disappointing! Then during the Labor Day they didn't tell me that the dogs will have minimal hours at the yard. My dog spent most of her time in her room with minimal playtime ! Not sure if this location is understaffed but it breaks my heart that the dogs at this location spends most of their time at the crate and not playing with other dogs. I feel so bad and heartbroken for my dog and other dogs that stay at this particular camp. Management needs to step up!

    We've been bringing our dog Epic to Jules Veterinary for the past few months as she battled cancer…read more After nearly 12 wonderful years with her, we were faced with the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye. From the moment we scheduled the appointment, Jules' team was kind, sincere, and incredibly accommodating. When we arrived, someone quickly guided us into a private room, giving us the space and privacy to say our final goodbyes. You could feel the empathy in the room -- the staff genuinely understood how painful this moment was for us. Epic wasn't just a pet; she was part of our family. We spent nearly an hour holding her, reminiscing, and even helping our almost 5-year-old daughter begin to understand the cycle of life and death. The vet was gentle, detailed, and respectful, explaining the process with so much care that it helped ease some of our grief. They gave us the option to keep a piece of Epic with us -- clipping a bit of her fur and offering a keepsake paw print, which arrived a few days later for pick up. It was beautifully done and means so much to us now. While no goodbye is ever perfect, and there are always little things you wish could be different in hindsight, the team at Jules made an impossibly hard day just a little softer. They treated us -- and Epic -- with dignity, patience, and love. We weren't just another family. Epic wasn't just another dog. Thank you, Jules Vet, for helping us say goodbye in the most caring way possible.

    AWARENESS: I learned about K9 Development a few years ago…read morewhen my daughter brought her dog here to have Jack help with service animal training. Fast forward to today. I'm here to see Jack, who will be helping me to train my new puppy to help combat my on going PTSD issues. NARRATIVE: I can only write this review about my interactions with Jack, since he has been the only person I've had direct contact with. Jack is a true professional (aka: Dog Whisperer). My first visit with him with my pup was an indoctrination meeting. Basically, I sat and Jack watched how my dog dealt new surroundings and some unexpected, never had my seen before items. During the hour interaction with both my dog and I, Jack asked questions and gave me tips on how I can start getting my pup to reach the goals I expect and wish her to perform. Jack is patient. Attentive and like myself, gruff. I like that! SCENE: K9 Development is located in rural Tracy, off of Hansen Road, behind the Safeway distribution warehouse. The road getting to Jack and Amy's is a compacted gravel road with speed bumps along the way. The maximum speed limit is 10 miles per hour. No rooster tails unless you wish to find out what I mean when I say Jack can be gruff. RECOMMENDATION(S): Like I stated, I can only speak for my interactions with Jack which thus far have been fantastic. I have talked to other dog owners who have taken their dogs to see Amy for training. Those conversations were all of phrase too. If you're in need of dog training, boarding or supplies, go see the folks at K9 Development. I'd recommend it.

    I sent my 10-month-old Australian Shepherd to board and train with Olivia and, in the best way…read morepossible, he came back a different dog: the same sweet personality, but with dramatically better self-control. I enrolled him for three weeks and ended up adding a fourth. His biggest challenges were reactivity, anxiety, recall, and staying engaged with me around distractions. Before training, he would bark and lunge at strangers, bolt through open doors, and ignore commands the moment something more interesting appeared. Now he's calm on and off leash, reliably holds commands until released, and consistently checks back in with me instead of running off. What impressed me most wasn't just the behavior change, it was the foundation Olivia built. Nix now understands how to look to me for guidance when he's distracted, stressed, or uncertain. The results have been more durable and meaningful than anything I achieved through months of research, classes, private lessons, and thousands of dollars spent on training. I was initially skeptical of board and trains, and balanced training methods, particularly e-collars and slip leads, because of so many traumatic videos out there. Olivia completely changed my perspective. She uses these tools thoughtfully, gently, and effectively--not to intimidate or hurt dogs, but to communicate clearly despite distractions. Nix isn't fearful or shut down; if anything, he's more confident, more relaxed, and more connected to me than ever before. Of all the money I've spent on training, Olivia's board-and-train was by far the best investment I've made in my dog. The transformation has been remarkable, and our relationship is stronger because of it.

    Countryside Canine and Olivia have truly been life-changing for us. We sent our female Belgian…read moreMalinois, Athena, to Olivia's 5-week program, and it was an absolute game changer. A little backstory--Athena was a COVID puppy, so she didn't get the proper early socialization she needed, especially with other dogs. On top of that, being a Belgian Malinois, she has very unique needs. Her prey drive is incredibly high, and so was her anxiety. Walks used to be stressful--she would react to every noise, person, or animal. Even getting her into the car felt like wrestling a bear. After training with Olivia, it honestly felt like we got a whole new dog back. Athena still has some anxiety and that natural Malinois prey drive, but now I have the tools and confidence to manage both effectively. We now go on daily walks--often twice a day. I've taken her to large parks and on short hikes, and she's been amazing. I'm even planning to take her on a multi-day camping and hiking trip--something I never would have imagined before her training. The biggest difference is that Olivia didn't just train my dog--she trained me too. She gave me the knowledge and tools to continue working with Athena at home, and Athena has taken to it like a fish to water. It's such a great feeling to have a smart, engaged, and obedient dog to enjoy life with. I can't thank Olivia enough for everything she's done. I highly recommend Olivia and Countryside Canine!
