Pet Boarding Training near Encinitas

“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!“

“So glad we found The Animal Keeper for our girl Lucy. From the start Destiny and Austin were super helpful and patient with answering all my questions. And Kayla has been great with my check ins. I feel confident about the care that they give my girl.“

“We love taking our dog to Hot Dog on a Leash! She is so excited when we drive down the street and knows exactly where we are going. I love knowing she is safe and outside during the day to play with friends. She has also done training/bootcamp which was so awesome for her! Thank you Heather and the rest of the team!“

“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 ♥️“

“David & staff saved our 60 lb Catahoula-Staffi dog two years ago. She was on a list for Euthanasia when we rescued her. She was very reactive & aggressive toward other dogs due to severe abuse at age one. I am a trained behavioral psychologist but loved her too much to train her. K9 were miracle workers with her. They saved her life!!“

“Spending a week in Carlsbad from the east coast, we were desperate to find a trusted doggy daycare. After researching, we found ware woof pet resort and couldn't have been happier! Tanya was extremely friendly and accommodating to our dynamic schedule - she was transparent throughout the process and would send picture and video updates of our dog :). Our dog has separation anxiety but felt right at home at Tanya's. Highly recommend ware woof pet resort - we will be going back when we're in the area next! Thank you Tanya!“

“Many of us dog parents realize that we need training, before we can expect our dogs to be well-trained. Because she loves dogs, and has dedicated her life to understanding their ways and needs, Laura Christiansen is a people trainer too. Working with Laura, you and your dog will feel her extraordinary firmness and compassion, and that first class is not likely to be your last!“

“Luna is a nervous girl and not easy to examine. Dr. Knox and her staff do an excellent job caring for her and upfront with me on her treatment options and costs.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I recommend if anyone has a rabbit. They are very skilled at handling them and provide you necessary information that you need especially if you are first time.“

“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.“

“I swore we would never go back to a Petco after having numerous horrible experiences at locations like San Marcos and Encinitas. I'm really glad we gave La Costa a try. The staff were friendly and helpful. Tara in grooming really cared about our dog and was very knowledgeable.“

“I have all good things to say about the experience I had at this veterinary hospital. I brought my dog and cat for a wellness appointment and they were compassionate and patient. They took time with each pet to make them feel comfortable and accomplish what we needed to in the appointment. They were very helpful to carefully explain the answers to my questions, as well. It is hard to find good care for your animals, but I completely trust these folks and plan to bring my pets back. Thank you so SO much!“
