Client Testimonials

Shane and Ruben are excellent at what they do. After a 3 week Board & Train, we brought home a more relaxed, well-behaved dog. Aside from their training skills they are also great communicators with humans and dogs. This was crucial for us to learn how to communicate with our dogs effectively. Highly recommended!

-Nick B. ★★★★★

My dog used to bark constantly, showed leash reactivity & was overall incredibly anxious. The list of things she was comfortable around was shorter than what set her off (bikes, swings, men, big dogs, my cats, basketballs, being in the water). I used to feel guilty even leaving the house. We now go out in the world with both of us feeling calm and excited to adventure together!

-Tessa S.★★★★★

Ruben and Shane are super skilled and you can truly feel their passion in what they do. They took the time to create a thoughtful, personalized training plan for my dog and were always available to answer questions or troubleshoot new challenges as they came up, well after we finished the program which showed their commitment.
