We are so please at what Don accomplished with our 11 month old Lab/Weim mix in just a week. He gave us all the tools to continue training him at home too. Our puppy was becoming a bit of a bossy dog, giving US and our older dog a hard time and he hasn't hassled our older dog since bringing us home. He heels and sits easily and comes to us when called. We still need to continue training him at home, but I would highly recommend Don any day! We hope to bring our puppy back again soon and will definitely board our dogs here when we are on vacation.

Hopefully they figured it out. WE took our two Westies here to be groomed after my having such an awful time at Oh My Dog. WELL. WONDERFUL. That's all. Sarah was a groomer, and she was FAN.TASTIC. I used to show Westies - I KNOW I'm picky. I know not every groomer knows breed standards. I have made concessions for that in the past. With Sarah, I didn't have to. She was so detailed, and made SURE she knew what I wanted and expected. And didn't treat me like I was overbearing for asking for what I wanted. I paid $98 for both dogs - and couldn't be happier. She knows dogs. She's friendly. She's precise. She's professional. She frankly, saved my idea of finding a real groomer in Eugene. As far as the shop, I love all the swanky puppy toys and treats. It can be a bit pricey, but it's a specialty store, and if I'm looking for frilly and fun, I KNOW where I can get it. Frankly, as long as they keep Sarah, I'll MAKE a point to go in and spend. I get my pups toothbrushes there too - and even when I'm only spending $1.50 - they're still nice and grateful. Love this place.

I'm a first time puppy owner and I don't know what to do with him. I was scrolling through Instagram came across Curious K9 and I thought ok I'll give them a try. I recognized her last name and realized I was in the right place. I will never for get the first phone call with LeeAnn and I cried through the whole phone conversation. I think I answered a couple of questions. One thing I didn't like about other dog trainers that I tried was all the games and confusing dog training style .With my very first appointment with them, they knew the problem and got on it immediately to help me and my lab. They were very good with helping me when I wasn't quite sure if I was doing the right thing. They are amazing. I took every class they recommended. I also did doggie day care with training two days a week for a month. I now have the very best relationship with my boy. The only place he stays when I go out of town and can't take him with is with LeeAnn and her team. He also has doggie daycare days. We are like family. I would highly recommend them for any of your dog care needs.

Hire the Best Dog Trainer in Eugene/Spfld - Julia is an amazing dog whisperer. Our 8 yr old dog had…read moresome bad habits of barking excessively when he heard a noise outside or the doorbell rang. Julia showed us how to change that behavior and be the leader of the pack for our dog. He also was always underfoot (especially in the kitchen) which created tripping hazards. Within the first day of working with Julia our dog had created a new behavior and stayed out of the kitchen. We learned how to teach him how to be out of the kitchen without having to constantly yelling him "get out". Dogs don't understand that language. Julia is a pro at showing you what to do. We've already signed up for another session in a month and plan to attend her drop in play dates with other dogs. Thanks Julia for being so awesome!

She has helped us with three very different dog personalities and sizes from a feisty/possessive 10 lb chihuahua to a submissive yet reactive 66 lb German Shepherd (and our little 14 lb terrier that just needs a little tweaking here and there). Julia's training style is not a positive/treat rewarding style per say-it's somewhat of a balance of btwn selective positive rewarding for "tricks" or abnormal behaviors (or fears) and quick corrections with tools (either a stick/extension of your arm or a specific style collar/leash that fits the needs of your dog). All 3 of our dogs have a different leash/collar & works perfect for each of them. The type of training is also about the mind set you're in. You don't wait to make corrections when they've done something wrong so many times that you're angry. You need to be focused and serious when you do have to correct. She also got us to kennel train when we're away which we didn't think would work out too well with our two small ones that have free roamed forever, but all three actually do very well and even sleep in there when we're home. Bottom line is if you're looking for a positive reward training only- that's not this. But if you're looking for something that strikes a balance but still allows you a great bond with your dog- then definitely try B the Leader.
