Pet Boarding Training near Rancho Cordova

“Today I took my dog to the bank for the first time in a few months. I use to take her all the time, but she has triggers that we’re not sure where they come from and she can get quit intimidating…I put her in a sit, down/stay position while I was with the teller, who is very familiar with Kansas, especially her tornado side ?. I told her she’s been in training for about the last 6 months. She laughed and said “she might be too chill now” hahaha she did really good! Her training with Patrick and Bradley are working wonders on her! And after staying in their home with them for a 2 week board and train, she fell in love with Patrick (and Shannon) and now gets so excited to see them!“

“I have been taking my dog Riley to several groomers at All Stage and they have been wonderful to my very anxious boy. Thank you for giving him the atmosphere he needs to relax and have a good grooming experience.“

“Asia Smith grooms my 3 miniaussiedoodles and does a fantastic job. I have referred her to my neighbors and can’t say enough good things about her. One of my dogs is dogs reactive and Asia is great with her❤️?“

“Our puppy has become such a well behaved boy as we, his pet parents, learned how to interact with him. The lessons are invaluable and will be used as tools forever for his benefit“

“The Midtown Mutts team walked and took care of our dear dog for almost the past two years until we had to say goodbye. Even as he aged and his needs were more complex, the dog walkers were always patient and caring (pro-tip: sign up your senior dog for at least the 30 minute walk so neither the dog walker nor your dog feel rushed). Here's a picture of him on one of his numerous walks with the wonderful team, and an especially big thank you to Joanne!“

“Vicki took a golden retriever and a dachshund at a moment's notice when their dad had to go to the hospital for an indeterminate stay. Her calm and caring presence was just what the dogs needed. We very much appreciate her "stepping up" for strangers who just called her out of the blue.“

“I am a new pet parent and was scared to drop my little buddy off to anyone. My husband and I came across Buster’s and I am SO glad we did! Our little Nacho got go be outside and play with all the other dogs, he even got to try out the doggy pool! If you want to take your dog to a wonderful place where they care for your pets as well as you do, send them here! The staff is absolutely wonderful, we will be back!“

“American River Canine saved our family! About two years ago, my fiancé and I adopted a German Shepherd named Bear from the Sacramento SPCA. Bear was, and still is, an energetic, fun-loving, sweet dog. He just wasn't friendly towards other dogs or cats. Bear would growl, lunge, and chase any other animal near him. Walking him just around the block was challenging because he would tug and try to go after other dogs and cats. It turns out that what we were interpreting as aggression, was actually pent-up excitement in Bear. Deric's extensive knowledge in psychology along with his years of experience working with dogs opened our eyes on how to better understand and communicate with Bear. Deric helped us work with Bear on commands like "place", "here", "out" and "leave it". Working on these commands seemed more like training for us humans, but it all paid off in the end. Nowadays, Bear is a much more obedient dog who can be in the same room as our cats without growling or trying to run after them. Walking Bear is no longer a scary activity. It is something we can do with ease. We even take Bear out in public places like Home Depot, PetSmart, and Iron Horse. We are also in the process of adopting another dog for our family too! Both Bear and our newer dog attend Deric's doggie daycare, The Nature of Dogs, twice a week. I can honestly say that if it weren't for Deric, we probably would have rehomed Bear. I am forever grateful for the dedication and insight Deric has given to our family. I would 100% highly recommend American River Canine for any of your canine training needs!“

“Don has been amazing to work with. We have two dogs a 4 year old French bull dog and a 2 year old Boston / French mix. Both dogs have been through basic petco training and know sits and stays only when treats were used. After having a new baby in the house we needed someone who could help us learn methods to teach the dogs obedience and behavioral training for our everyday life. Before don, our French bull dog was refusing to walk out past the garage , I would have to drag him down the street. Walks were getting miserable. My Boston would constantly be running and jumping on guests as well as the French bull dog sitting on guests and needing all do the attention. my husband and I would usually be distracted hosting, as we'd be running back and forth to try and get them to calm down. . Since our training with don we have been able to take them on vacation and have people over (even children) with the dogs staying calm and manageable. Our French bull dog started walking again (it had been 1.5 years since I could get him to go on walks normally!!) I was amazed at how calm and obedient they have become, as well as the skill set my husband and I have learned to train them. I want to say it's literally been a miracle, as they were getting unmanageable as our lives were starting to get busier. They have been awesome at sitting calmly and staying when guests come over as well as when my husband and I want calm time in the evenings or are feeding the baby . Walks are amazing now, they both actually walk and keep going with us without stopping or dragging them- or them pulling us! (Amazing) . The only regret I have is not hiring don sooner, and saving my money on all the rewards (treats) based training.“

“Kayla is amazing, she quickly and efficiently helped us get all the essentials down when we got our lovely little rescue pup. Her recall training is especially wonderful: It’s easy, fun for both you and the pup, and results in the most reliable recall we could ever hope for. It’s saved us from having a skunked dog more than once, and been a great resource when socialising! I can’t recommend her highly enough!“

“If you’re looking for a professional, caring and super knowledge trainer Unleash the Beast is the best! We had a super energetic toy poodle, 4 months old with no concept of commands. We also did not want to use treats so we signed up to the board and train and could not be happier with the results. I got pictures of our pup every day for 5 weeks, FaceTimes and also at home visits and training sessions to help us sustain the behaviour. I feel so blessed to have found this business and am pretty sure we will continue to work with Unleash the Beast throughout my dogs life - this training will improve our quality of life with our pup. I would do it again and again, money well spent! Thank you!!“

“Very friendly very knowledgeable about the birds great people would definitely recommend them for finding a good fit for u and and pet !“

“Dr. Fisk and her entire team are great. Knowledgeable, professional, attentive, kind!“

“B Elegant is a great place to take my fur babies to. Jamie is knowledgeable and takes the time and care to make the experience a positive one. My stubborn senior dog was getting to be a bother to people at other groomers. She takes the care it's necessary to make it a good experience for everyone involved. I am grateful to have found myself an ally in care for my fur family.“

“They truly care and thier follow up shows. I get responses after hours and more care than I have ever gotten for my cats in 27 years!“

“If you need a knowledgeable dog trainer Cindy is your person. We had few sessions in the past and we are coming back for more (Jan. 2024). She offers different classes so check her web. The sessions we had were certainly worth it! Our dog loves it and gets all excited. We drive about 40 min just to have a dog class with Cindy. She is a great resource.“

“I love the convenience of having this petco in this location. Although this location is much smaller than the one on laguna blvd, I like the customer service here a lot more. My experience at the other location wasn't too great. When entering this store, you always get a greeting at the door. They are always quick and efficient at check out. This store is always clean and organized. They even have dog training available at this location. I always come here to pick up dog ice cream for my 3 boys. It's a little expensive but the heart wants what it wants. Haha! My boys deserve the best!“

“Alan and Renee of Albree Dog Training have been the best trainers we've ever worked with! We've worked with other trainers and had good results before, but we didn't realize how basic those other training sessions were until we signed up with Albree Dog Training. Super impressed!!! I feel like my dog and I are starting to get it. The trainers are very nice and care about our dogs. They put the dog's safety first above all else, which I greatly appreciate. We will continue to work with them and refer others to them.“
