“Her book, "Do No Harm" Dog Training and Behavior Manual is excellent for both pet dog guardians and dog trainers. It gives an inside look into the Hiarchy of Dog Needs and gives step by step force free methods to teach behaviors and fix the common problems dog lovers face with their pups. This was a great addition to my studies and library and I recommend it to anyone looking to add a dog into their life, or enriching the lives of the dog they already have.“
“Very professional, excellent customer service.
Wort the 3 hours drive from home . Going back as much as my pets needed. Definitely recommend“
“We recently boarded our puppy at Paw Commons Pet Resort in Kearny Mesa, and were very happy with the experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and clearly dedicated to providing top-notch care for our boy. A special shoutout to Kayla, the amazing trainer who worked with our puppy during his stay. Her expertise and patience were evident from the start and our puppy's manners have improved significantly. The facility itself is clean, spacious, and equipped with everything a pet could need. We felt confident leaving our puppy in such a safe and caring environment. It's clear that the team at Paw Commons Pet Resort truly loves what they do, and it shows in the quality of care they provide. Thank you to Kayla and everyone at Paw Commons Pet Resort - Kearny Mesa for taking such great care of our pup and helping him become the best version of himself. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend your services to other pet owners!“
“Been taking Mr. Pickles here for a long time and will continue to. They have always care for him a lot and he loves exhausting himself playing with all of his friends whenever I drop him off!“
“To put it simply, Cara changed our lives and helped with something we thought was impossible ? We were completely unprepared bringing home our newborn baby in July to meet our high energy 5 year old bulldog, kenobi. He didn’t adjust well to the baby, and we spent the first two weeks of her life with me upstairs and my husband downstairs with the dog. Every attempt at introducing him to our baby failed and got increasingly worse. We had no other choice than to seek a trainer.Cara immediately identified his food was a contributing issue to his temperament. Within 2 training sessions, we were able to live harmoniously with the baby and kenobi, while spending the rest of our training sessions working on basic obedience.She not only gave us the tools on correcting his behavior, she really explained WHY we use those tools so we could apply them correctly.Kenobi only left the house to go to the vet or to be boarded because he was uncontrollable on a leash. Cara not only taught us how to manage him with a prong collar and leash, the last training session was spent at a park to help our anxiety with having him out of the house. He is now THRIVING and going on 1-2 mile walks daily.Everyone who has encountered Kenobi has noticed the change, and we couldn’t be more thankful for her help.Editing to add a pictures of Kenobi coexisting with his little human ♥️“
“Kate is amazing. She is kind, compassionate and really works with you to meet the needs of your pet. She gives you daily updates in writing with photos so that you can feel completely comfortable leaving your pet. She goes above and beyond in her care.“
“I could not be more grateful for all the knowledge that Pilar has shared over the course of training my ACD mix. Piper can be a frustrated greeter and is strong enough to really pull while on the leash, but both behaviors have been minimized with the right tools under our belt. Walks went from being stressful to being a fun experience for us both! We learn new games and training exercises - time spent with Pilar is always rewarding! Her experience time and time again has helped me communicate more clearly to my dog as well as understand her behaviors. Pilar's positive reinforcement training has helped me build a strong bond with Piper built on trust, and I'm so grateful!“
“Chris and Barbara were happy to administer medications to our older dog. She was well cared for and we will definitely be calling on them again.“
“Margaret and Callie took care of my cats for a few days. I am so glad I found responsive, attentive, and caring cat sitters! It is obvious how much they care about animals. My cats are happy and so am I. I’ll definitely be reaching out to them again.“
“Mariposa is awesome and so intuitive with my pups....love her technique and the experience!“
“Jessica is caring, knowledgeable and fantastic with dogs. Thank you for all your help.“
“We dropped Jax off for a training program and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They assured us that he would be well taken care of and that we would get timely updates. Aaron seemed very knowledgeable and asked a lot of great questions to ensure they understood Jax's needs. We will update the review after his 3 week training is complete but so far, great experience!“
“Worked with Maryna for a five day reverse board and train with our 4 month old cattle dog. He is very fearful of strangers and she was kind and patient with him. She provided daily pictures, videos and updates. He has a long way to go but we already are seeing improvements!“
“Dr. Vora at TPAH is absolutely incredible. The most thorough veterinarian I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She is so attentive to our dog, has worked with us back and forth on trying to troubleshoot a difficult issue with his skin, and takes the time to update me even from her personal weekend hours. Cannot recommend her enough.“
“This is my happy place. Treats, grooming and my fave Just Food for Dogs is here too. Great service by Humberto today when my mom had to exchange my food because it had a hole in it.“
“Dealing with some infection issues and we are scared with our geriatric kitty. Staff was so kind and walked us through everything. Still waiting on results but they have made sure to keep our boy comfortable in the meantime. Thank you.“
“Good service, doesn't always have what I need or is very expensive. Usually have to go to other pet stores as well.“
“Nice Petco store in Clairemont that I like coming to on Wednesday after picking up comic books in the area. The staff is friendly and the selection is decent for dogs. There's a small grass area in front for pets to do their business, which also has bags available for waste pick up.“
“Christine is motivated by creating a relationship between human and dog that is mutually beneficial. Christine works with you and your dog to develop a relationship based on respect, response, and gratitude. You will be grateful and enjoy having your furry friend that much more after training with Christine. It's not easy and the rewards are amazing!!“
