We have even used Wufster for boarding during trips and highly recommend this service. We also sent our pup to his first Camp Wufster and Martin really looked out for him and took some amazing pictures/videos. Will definitely do it again! Most importantly our little pup loves Martin!

I adopted a rescue puppy who had some behavior issues, due to what we think happened to him early in his life. It got to the point where the puppy nipped a dog walker and they refused to walk him anymore.

Not only did Steve and team correct his behavior, they took the time to teach us why it was happening, how we should handle any outbreaks, and trained us to reinforce the great training they provided. Thank you Steve and Team - I don't know what we would have done without you!

We could not recommend PLD more!…read more My husband and I rescued our American Bulldog/Boxer mix, Clancy, in January 2021. Clancy is a very excitable and strong 65lb pup who was not great in the car, and would not be able to sit with us on a plane. So when it came time for us to have to go away for a weekend, around 8 months after we got him, we knew we had to board him. We went to some commercial boarding facilities (Camp Bow Wow was one) and were HORRIFIED at the experience. We watched for 5 minutes on the pup cameras and had them pull Clancy out of there immediately - 20 dogs per 1 staff member, running around, no structure, no care, no individualized support in what looked like an airplane hanger of crates. Thankfully, my husband had been following Steve's IG for a while, as he also is passionate about dog training and behavior (his mom a veterinary nurse and they have had bull terriers, boxers, and bulldogs over their lives). We reached out and they offered boarding options, so we immediately jumped to go to the initial training/evaluation session with Steve. We were NOT disappointed. First off, it gave us a wake up call on how lenient we've been with Clancy in regards to training/discipline following the passing of our our previous pup - and that dogs actually crave that guidance and structure. Steve advised us that Clancy was a classic "excitement case" and his excitement actually quickly turned to anxiety and needed to be addressed. From that session, we immediately implemented the techniques and approach advised by Steve and started to see a major difference and were on the right path. We never had to board a dog before so naturally we were apprehensive about leaving him. When it came time to drop him off at The Maddie Ranch, my husband and I came to the same conclusion - he literally could not be in better hands, if anything were to happen or he got sick, he is in the best place possible - with people who are there for one reason only: the benefit of the dogs. During their stay the pups get daily pack walks, private training sessions, and some play time. You get constant updates with photos and videos. You can also message the folks via the app they use and they reply within less than 20 minutes, they'll give you updates on how their progress is, for Clancy, how he's been doing with his excitement, his demeanor, and so on. They also give explanations into their training methods while he's there which helps us upon returning - and we always notice a difference in his behavior! It is hard to be calm and not excite him upon picking him up though, but we're working on it. We've now boarded Clancy at The Maddie Ranch 3 times, for different intervals, and we plan to again in January. Board & Train is the best option for our dog and I imagine it would be for all dogs. They get care, love, and most important structure which they so crave. Could not recommend PLD more, all of the staff have been awesome - you will leave knowing your dog could not be in a safer, and not to mention beautiful place. Thank you to Steve, Dana, Christian, Cassandra, Jay and everyone else! Also a huge thank you to Devon who has been so accommodating and lovely when scheduling/planning all of Clancy's boarding sessions!

I had quite a hard time figuring out how to get my dog Langlang to be well behaved as well as…read moreresponsive especially in times when she would get somewhat reactive. Otta and the team at SupremeK9 were incredibly helpful through the 1 on 1 sessions and the general trainings. Langlang almost does a perfect heel walk all the time now and is generally much more responsive. I think the most important part of the training to be honest was actually their ability to clearly articulate (and show) the steps required to make me a better dog owner. If you've got a dog who needs training, I'd strongly recommend Otto and the team.

Otto and the K-9 team completely changed our lives and our dog's. We have a 6-year-old…read moregoldendoodle, Charlie, whose journey you can actually see on Otto's Instagram (highly recommend if you have a fearful dog or want to see what's possible in just 3-4 weeks). Over the years, we worked with multiple trainers. Charlie knew his commands, but his fear-based behaviors (especially around bikes and men) made walks stressful and sometimes unmanageable. At 80+ pounds, his lunging and growling left me constantly on edge. We recently moved into a much busier neighborhood which only made Charlie's fearful behavior worse. I was feeling defeated. I have had dogs all my life but none of them had this level of anxiety. It felt like I was failing him and myself. We'd spent thousands on training before with only partial success, and I was starting to wonder if we'd need to move out of our apartment or temporarily keep him at my parents house. Safe to say - we weren't expecting miracles, especially with a 6-year-old dog. WE WERE WRONG... in just 3 weeks, Otto: 1. Helped Charlie get off the anxiety medication he'd been on most of his life. 2. Earned Charlie's trust and safely pushed his boundaries. 3. Stopped his fearful outbursts entirely. 3. Introduced two leash techniques tailored to Charlie's needs. 4. Taught us how to successfully communicate with him--something we couldn't figure out and none of the other trainers could successfully teach us. 5. Otto even brought in his own trained dogs when he saw Charlie thrived with other dogs as role models. Otto and I always joked that the pet/owner training sessions were more like a therapy session, but it was true! The process felt like therapy for both of us, and three months later, Charlie hasn't reverted. His confidence keeps growing. This was the single best decision we've ever made for our dog. Otto and his team are the real deal, and I would recommend them without hesitation.
