    Panda !

    We have a 1 year old blue heeler German shepherd mix named Panda, and did 8 weeks of training at The Doggo USA! We were so extremely impressed by the amount of obedience she learned, and is truly such a better dog after the training! During the training, we received weekly updates through the app, as well as videos on what they were working on every week! She was pulling on the leash and lunging at other dogs before, completely ignoring us with everything we asked her. We had done a Petco training before, and she would only listen to us with treats. Now she respects us, walks right next to us on the leash, and listens to everything we say! She really learned how to control her impulses and to stop jumping ! We can't thank you guys enough for your training and also help to understand how to keep up the training!!

    Medical notes indicating wounds are from shock collar.

    I waited a while to write this review because I genuinely hoped Juan would make things right--but unfortunately, he has not. I'm now left with an untrained dog, serious behavioral setbacks, and I am emotionally and financially exhausted. If you don't read the whole review, here's my advice: Get all expectations in writing before you drop off your dog. When you pick them up, do a full head-to-toe health check. Especially the neck! If Juan is as reputable as he claims, he should have no issue documenting what he says he'll deliver. Why I Hired Doggo I initially contacted Juan to train a new foster dog I had for six weeks, named Charlie. I told him upfront that Charlie had crate anxiety, leash reactivity to other dogs, and poor obedience in public. Juan told me these issues couldn't be handled in the 3-week program, so I paid for the 5-week board-and-train. Charlie already knew basic obedience--sit, down, heel--but couldn't do it under distraction. In the first week, Juan worked on things Charlie never struggled with, like potty training and jumping. By week two, I noticed he wasn't training Charlie in public, even though that was part of the deal. When I raised this, he called me and said, "Trust the process," claiming that public training comes after private progress. Throughout the five weeks, Juan sent nothing but positive updates: "Charlie is doing amazing." "He's very dog friendly." "He's excelling." But when I picked Charlie up, the tone changed. Juan said Charlie was "stubborn and hard" and admitted "he bit me." This was never communicated before. Once home, I saw little to no improvement. When I reached out again, Juan said I wouldn't see results for two more weeks--that's why he doesn't check in right away. But Charlie's behavior was out of control. I told Juan I was considering leaving a review, and instead of addressing my concerns, he offered to pick Charlie back up for three more weeks of "advanced" training. I agreed, hoping he would finally follow through on what he promised. What Happened Next Three weeks later, Juan returned Charlie to me at a Home Depot. During the go-home session, every time I used the e-collar, Charlie yelped loudly. Juan said: "He fakes it to get out of training. Keep using it." I followed his instructions. But after a few days of consistent yelping, I checked and found two wounds on Charlie's neck--one of them actively infected. The vet later confirmed these were caused by prolonged or improper use of the e-collar. I stopped contacting Juan until I had confirmation from the vet. Then, I asked him for a partial refund--not even the full $4,000 I paid. I asked for $1,400 (for the "advanced" training) and $300 (for the vet bill). He never responded again. I had to go through a third party to get a single response--he defended the training results but offered no accountability for the injury or lack of transparency (I added his response and my counter response). Where We Are Now Charlie has now: Bit four people since the training--something he had never done before. Seen multiple professional trainers and behaviorists who agree he's a difficult case because of anxiety and fear, not stubbornness. Been in weekly day training, private sessions, and obedience classes--all of which I pay out-of-pocket. I don't blame Juan for Charlie's anxiety, but I do hold him responsible for: Injuring my dog and dismissing it. Hiding behavioral red flags during training. Ghosting me after I asked for accountability. Selling me basic obedience while claiming to handle behavioral cases. I asked Juan for an in-person consultation before starting the program, and he refused--telling me he'd trained dogs for years and knew exactly what Charlie needed. I trusted that. I shouldn't have. Final Thoughts If you have a fearful or anxious dog--work with a certified behaviorist, not a board-and-train obedience program. I learned that the hard way. I'm not out for revenge, but I don't want others to waste their money or risk their dog being harmed like I did. Feel free to contact me directly (Email Tabletop03 at gmail)--I will share every email, vet bill, and message I have. I wish I had known better, and I hope this saves someone else from the pain I've gone through.

    Update: It s been a month and the dogs are still great. We did the follow up course two weeks later to assess how the dogs were doing and correct any commands we were doing incorrectly. it was extremely helpful and I recommend it. The important thing to know is that you must reinforce the training at home. The dogs are still so much better behaved and walking them is still so much more enjoyable. Still happy with the training.

    Juan and team are the best! Just got Chubbs back and he's a completely new dog, I couldn't be happier!

    What a great experience all around. After reviewing some options and other school choices, we decided to go with The Doggo based on overall feel. We were blown away by what a great decision it was. Value, communication and results were beyond all expectations. 10/10 would recommend training and any service this organization offers.

    I took my fur baby to Doggo and it was hard leaving her for five weeks. But the results are incredible and I still can't believe this is my dog. Juan and his staff are amazing at what they do. she made friends with Archie rookie and Willow. I love having her back and love taking her on walks. I recommend this place hands down.

    Megan M.

    The Doggo is the place to go to have your pet trained. It is hard for me to trust people with anything, but I trust Juan and his team. Our puppy was hyper and barked at people she didn't know. Our now 6 month old puppy is well behaved for a puppy. Don't get me wrong we as dog parents still have a long way to go. But Juan and his team gave us the comfort that we needed once we picked up our puppy and took her home. We are able to get things done around the home, go out in public to a park, and go out to restaurants or cafes. Any time we have had a question or concern Juan was there to give us the best advice and the reassurance we needed. If we had to do it all over again, I would come back to The Doggo in a heart beat.

    I could not write a better review for Juan, he's an amazing person who truly cares for his people and is extremely quick to respond to any needs. We enrolled Kai in the 5 week board and train and we couldn't be happier with the results. He was pulling extremely hard during his walks prior and would constantly sniff everything. After the training with Juan and his team, I could not believe that there is absolutely NO tension on the leash when walking our boy during our walks. The go home session also taught us to be a better role model and dog parents for Kai which is extremely important when continuing the progression with his obedience! Once again, an amazing experience and would 100% recommend it to anyone who would want to take the journey towards being a more confident dog parent!

    Sarah J.

    We took our 6 month old very high energy heeler possibly malinois mix to doggo and I have to say I am very happy with how she turned out. We are able to manage her much better on walks which was practically impossible beforehand. The communication with the trainers was amazing and they were super responsive. I will definitely continue to use them to reinforce training and even boarding and daycare!

First thing you will notice is his place for crating feels very home like and natural. He gives each dog what is needed after full review along, with recommendations : prices are very fair . He has extensive programs year round plus weekly meet ups : if you went through his program they are free or jump in for a small fee. And well worth it . His groups sessions feel very intimidate and he will address each dog so it feels like a 1 on 1 session which he does also read the room well so if there's any nervous dogs in there he will make sure everyone is safe . Keep in mind he's very vocal and advocates for the animals so if you aren't pulling your weight he will have a discussion with you . Clients can get fired in general just be a good dog parent and you will be fine. This is a husband and wife team and both are excellent and Caring .

We elected for a 4-week board and train and they kept us updated throughout the entering process and even sent us weekly video updates. The results were night and day. Not only did they help train our dog but what was most important is they took the time and effort to train US (arguably the more important training) on how to continue training at home.

    We definitely recommend Andi!…read more We originally reached out to Andi for consultations regarding both of our Maltipoos, Kiki and Coco. During our initial phone consultation, Andi was incredibly honest and genuine. After learning more about our dogs, she felt that Kiki was the one who would benefit most from formal training and suggested that we could apply what we learned with Kiki to Coco as well. We really appreciated that she didn't try to upsell us on training for both dogs when she easily could have. That immediately showed us how much she genuinely cares about helping dogs and their families. At the time, Kiki was about six months old and was extremely reactive to just about everything in the outside world. We were looking for someone whose methods aligned with our values, and we loved Andi's positive reinforcement approach. Kiki completed Andi's six-week program, and the growth we've seen has been incredible. What sets Andi apart is that she isn't focused solely on teaching dogs tricks or obedience commands. She truly cares about each dog's emotional well-being and how they're feeling throughout the process. We learned so much--not just about Kiki, but about ourselves as dog owners. Andi helped us understand how our own behaviors and responses can shape our dogs, which was eye-opening and incredibly valuable. Of course, the work doesn't stop when the training sessions end. It takes consistency and ongoing practice at home, but Andi gave us the tools and confidence to continue building on Kiki's progress. The effort has been absolutely worth it. One of the best parts is that we were able to use many of the same training methods with our older Maltipoo, Coco, and she learned and benefited from them as well. Andi actively encouraged this, which we really appreciated. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and ethical trainer who truly puts dogs' well-being first, we wholeheartedly recommend Andi and Diamond Dog Training.

We knew our situation would require a special type of professional Trainer. One who could take on and handle two puppies at once... two puppies who are full of energy! We also knew that we didn't want them boarded and that we wanted their training to be on a daily basis. Because of my age and my balance issues, it would have been impossible for me to be transporting these active (unleash trained) girls daily. We needed a Trainer who could be flexible and would be willing to come to our house and handle training our two pups on a daily basis. The Trainer would not only have to teach them commands together, leash walking together, but also car seat and riding in the car manners. This wasn't going to be an easy task and it would mean that this Trainer would have to be willing to sacrifice their own needs in order to accommodate our needs. We needed a Trainer who wouldn't shy away from a challenging job. We found everything we could ask for and needed in the owner of Koda's Training company... Liliana (Lily) Aguilar! Lily obviously takes great pride in her job and her company. Lily is a confident dog Trainer! Lily was very accommodating and flexible while adding new command requests as we thought of them. Lily had great control with our two girls and yet used positive reinforcement and affection at the same time. Each day, Lily focused on new commands while always going over and reinforcing what she had already previously taught them. At the end of each day, Lily would go over with us what she had worked on with the girls and encouraged us to keep up with the reinforcements. Lily was always in command, but was also very loving with our girls. Both pups loved seeing Lily daily! The last couple of days (of 10 days total) were spent teaching both pups to walk together on a dual tandem leash holder so my husband could take them on their daily morning walks AND the riding in the car manners and commands. As you probably can tell... we are extremely happy with the decision we made in hiring Koda's Training! We would highly recommend Lily and her company! Lily is very easy to talk with and extremely knowledgeable and informative. You can tell she truly loves dogs and she wants us to also love them and be happy too. Thank you Lily for giving us the confidence that we needed and for helping us in training our girls. Blue and Sophie miss you. Judi Sweeney

    Been taking my 10 month old Min Pin Vinnie here for about 5 months now and honestly we love it!…read more This facility does a great job hiring really quality trainers (Donna, Jillian, Kody, Melanie just the awesome ones I've had the honor and pleasure of working with so far) that genuinely care about their clients and fur attachments (babies). It's made these classes invaluable and let me tell you some reasons why ... - your fur babies get trained via the knowledgeable, incredibly patient trainers training YOU, the parent (handler) - the social environment with other dogs and people around WHILE your baby gets trained by what you learn (they get used to all the distractions like in the outside world) as they are learning and it becomes a norm for them and helps with less skiddish behavior and able to focus better even with distractions - the variety of classes ... from beginner puppy to advanced levels and fun classes like different Agility class levels and even Pilates and playgroups for different sizes and personality types of dogs - did I mention the awesome trainers? They are always willing to answer your questions and eager to help in whatever way they can. This I signed up for the VIP program and honestly was a bit hesitant at first because of the price. But it really has been money so well spent. Don't get me wrong ... you have to put your time into it too in doing what you learned in class while at home and really thru-out any time you are not in class but talk about setting your dog up for success! It helps ease a lot of frustration between you and your dog when you help them understand you and you understand them so much more thru the bonding in this process of learning. To summarize ... just do it.

If you are willing to listen, do the work, be consistent and actually do everything he says to you will not be disappointed. It was worth every $ spent. @ xavier hernandez dog behaviorist on Yelp if you want to see more reviews specific to him. I am no longer dreading taking them on walks. Turns out Cooper just had some anxiety and can get over excited. I thought I had an aggressive dog until we met with a Xavier. Very thankful and grateful.

    I have a Large Cane Corso Masstiff female who just turned 1 year old in January. She is going thru…read moreher teenage years has been very dog aggressive lately. She was attacked by a much smaller dog ever since she goes crazy whenever we see another dog. I found a, "Highly Recommended" Dog trainer online according his website. After 3 sessions with him, his advice was to punch my dog in the face and head until she worried more about me than other dogs. As you can imagine that did not work and we stopped going. I started calling around to other trainers I found online but nobody wanted to work with such a big aggressive dog. One trainer referred me to Tony. After talking with Tony and watching his webinar he referred us to Xavier who from the first 15 minutes had my dog sitting down calmly and accepting directions. I can't speak highly enough for how professional results oriented both Tony and Xavier have been. We were considering returning her back to the breeder before meeting Tony and Xavier. Thank you both so very much!
