Absolutely Amazing Dog Trainer -- Brooke at Majestic Dog Training!…read more After Olive was attacked at a dog park, she became extremely reactive and anxious around other dogs. Walks became stressful, and she would lunge at dogs even from a distance. At home, Olive is a true "love bug," so we knew she was scared--not a bad dog--and needed the right guidance. Before we ever met Brooke, we received a recommendation for another dog trainer. That person told us Olive would likely be untrainable, explaining that many dogs attacked at dog parks can never be rehabilitated enough to become non-aggressive. They essentially gave up on her before even meeting her. I told them I would never give up on Olive and that I would find someone who could help her. We were so blessed to receive a referral to Brooke at Majestic Dog Training. After just a few sessions, Olive has made tremendous progress. Her reactivity and anxiety have significantly decreased, and she is learning to stay calm and look to us for direction when she sees another dog. She is happier, calmer, and more confident--and so are we! Brooke's approach combines positive reinforcement, patience, consistency, calmness, support, and love. She is incredibly positive, adaptable, and genuinely passionate about dogs. She worked with our schedule, was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and made the entire training process easy and comfortable for us. One of the best parts is seeing Olive when we return after training. She is so happy, excited, and clearly loves Brooke. That says everything. Brooke has built a trusting relationship with Olive, and it is obvious how much she truly cares about every dog she works with. If you are looking for a dog trainer in the desert, choose Brooke. Her positivity, love of dogs, flexibility, and dedication set her apart from anyone else. She helped us understand Olive's behavior and gave us practical tools to help her succeed. I will never recommend anyone else. Brooke is the only name I will give to anyone who wants their dog trained. She has made an incredible difference in Olive's life and ours, and we are forever grateful!

I think Brooke was born to do this. Besides being patient, gentle and observant with our 7 year…read moreold Airedale rescue, she has an amazing intuition and sensitivity for what our Oliver is thinking/feeling and why he behaves the way he does. Brooke is great with people too - we feel a real partnership with her as we make this journey. It's exciting to see the improvement in Oliver already. She has given us confidence that he can get past his issues -- and that we, our other dog Georgie and Oliver can live (and walk) happily ever after. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brooke. Any dog would be lucky to have her. Ours is!

Again Valerie to the rescue!! He is like a whole different dog. I can't say it enough, Valerie is indeed the dog worshipper!!

How fortunate to find Kat and her team who are professional, provided great communication, pictures and videos, and I had a worry free time away. From the moment my pets met Kat, she commanded instant respect. Kat has that magic that animal respond to. My dog Bella watched her like a hawk and did everything she asked when she said it. Even things I didn't think she would understand! I realized in that moment my dog has been ignoring me! LOL Go ahead book your stay with Kat now, I already booked our next trip with her. I selfishly almost didn't want to share her if you know what I mean.

I've sent my mini Sheltie puppy to Kat's in-home Board and Train program twice now and she has done…read morean OUTSTANDING job with him!! He first went for 7 nights when he was 4.5 months old and again for a 3 night refresher to reinforce existing skills and learn an important new command once he was more mentally mature at 7 months old. Kat took the time to really understand his lifestyle and shape his training goals with me ahead of both stays and both times we got back a happy, healthy and focused pup who loves to show off his tricks and manners! He was understandably a little nervous the first time we dropped him off but the second time he was thrilled to be back, which just shows how much fun he had there with her!! You can tell that Kat cares deeply about the dogs she works with and I'm so glad we found her out here in the desert. I highly recommend the customizable board and train service to provide structure, fundamentals and/or personalized learning (then you just need to stay consistent at home continuing to reinforce the new skills). Thank you Kat for all you've taught Ozzie - we will definitely be back!

At home Poppy barks at new people coming into the house and then shortly after they enter, she stops. Skipper Pip on the other hand is a grand AHOLE that will continually bark till our guest sits down or stops moving and it starts back up when they start moving again. ‍ I can say that nothing I did worked to stop or curb this little booger from barking. I watched countless videos and NOTHING WAS WORKING! I created a tiny monster. I finally had had enough and sought out a professional. I found Janine here on the internet. I didn't really know what to expect or how hard this was going to be. I didn't care, I needed help and was willing to do whatever an expert would tell me to do. Getting to know Janine and working with her has been super easy. I listed in detail all of the behavior issues that I have with Skipper but mostly it's the constant barking. Lord have mercy on my ears. The first visit is an assessment, explanation of how your dog thinks and how they understand you, and for us; some basics to start getting *operation no more barking* underway. Janine is very thorough so you understand both human and dog points of view. I really like this comprehensive approach. She trains you to train your dog so that your pet can thrive. Janine is not a cookie cutter style dog trainer. She is adaptive in finding what works best for you and your pooch. This is just the hands on learning Skipper and I needed. Thank you Janine, you are a treasure. Skipper's Results after working with Janine: *No longer barks when in public (on leash or in a stroller.) *No longer barks at the gardeners or pool guy. *Walks on a leash with ease w/zero pulling. *Knows the difference between Working Walk and Leisurely Walk. *Does not freak out at other dogs. Is perfectly calm and confident that I will not let anything happen to her. *No longer licks paws unless right before bed. *Significantly less anxiety overall.

The backstory. Jackson had been in and out of a few homes by the time he came to us. He was an…read moreadult dog, 100 lbs of power with no boundaries, reactive around other dogs, pulled while on a leash...the list goes on. We spoke with Morgan at K9 Off Leash regarding their programs. Morgan took the time I needed to ask questions to determine the right program and the right trainer. My spouse and I decided on the in-person, 8 week dog aggression program with Kyonia Brooks. Kyonia has a breadth of experience ranging from shelters to veterinarian hospitals to animal control and - the point that drove home for me: police canine training. Again, Jackson is a big boy, weighing in at 100 lbs of power with no boundaries so we needed someone experienced that wouldn't be intimidated. At our first meeting with Kyonia we reviewed the program and expectations. We hit it off with Kyonia immediately. We could tell this was dog training and handler training which is what we needed to help set boundaries for Jackson. And from my research prior to calling K9, dog training is really about people training so we were in good hands. After the first session there was already a noticeable difference. Within just a few sessions, we already had a new dog and Jackson was on his way to a new and permanent home (finally!). Jackson was walking on a leash without pulling, he was social with other dogs, he was off leash at the dog park and making fur friends. This was remarkable since he was very reactive to dogs just a few weeks prior. The training was working! Again, Kyonia was teaching us so we were learning how our behavior was feeding into his negative behavior. On command, he knew how to: heel, stay, sit, come, down, down from afar, off and place. At this point, we started taking him to various stores to try him in and around crowds with plenty of distraction. He continued to heel by our side, sit, stay and down on command at one end of the aisle while we would "browse items" at the other end of the aisle without moving. (More like fake browse while side eyeing Jackson to be sure he was following command.) He would look at people as they walked by but stayed in command. Proudly, I must say that at the end of our very first store outing (big box hardware and lumber store), one of the employees came up to me to say that he was the best behaving dog that had ever been in the store. She was astonished this was his first outing. She thought for sure we were training him to be as a service dog. I responded, no just a good dog. ;) Soon after, Jackson was walking off leash. This was not our goal or expectation, even though the name of the company has it in their name. #TotalBonus The goal was two fold: give Jackson boundaries and have him become the dog that matched our lifestyle & teach us how to set the boundaries while instilling him with his own confidence. Goal accomplished! Friends and family all commented on a totally different dog. We get comments from folks all the time at stores, the park, the dog park, campgrounds and hikes on such a well behaved dog with excellent recall. Thank you Kyonia and K9 Off Leash!

Exceptional Pet Care - Highly Recommend!…read more I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care Elite Pet Care Palm Springs provided for my dog, Grace Kelly. From the very start, the owner, Joan, handled everything with professionalism and care, making the entire experience seamless. Pet sitter Julie was simply wonderful--her positive and calm energy, along with her genuine care, made all the difference! She and Grace became fast friends in no time, and the trust she built so quickly gave us great peace of mind. Knowing we could depend on Julie while away from our hotel allowed us to be fully present with our family and enjoy a worry-free weekend of wedding festivities in the desert. This was truly an exceptional experience, and we couldn't have asked for better care. I will absolutely request Julie for future trips. Thank you again, Julie and Joan, for everything!

Lucky dog is the best. We have had many dog trainers through the years…read more The most important lesson I've learned over many years, is you can't send your furry baby away for training without the dog parent doing the work. You have to be trained too. I've leaned so much from Marko. My dog Rosie was a shelter dog, we have so much to learn from Lucky Dog. It's not just Rosie being trained, it's me! Lucky Dog is amazing my Rosie has come so far in just a couple of months. Rosie will demonstrate by video what she's learned but when she comes home she will revert to old behavior if I'm not doing my job of reinforcing her training. Lucky dog is sensitive to each dog and the dog parent. I can't say enough about his skill level and the way he works with each family. The best of the best. We are lucky to have them in the valley.
