Pet Boarding Training in San Jose

“Started attending Orion Dog Training puppy socials with my very small breed puppy. I have nothing but positive things to say. These socials are structured and tailored to your puppy's specific needs in mind. I have attended other socials that are more of a free for all where shy puppies and outgoing puppies romp together or are not being watched over. Orion Dog Training is not like this at all. The owner and trainer, Dieuwke, keeps a watchful eye and knows when separate someone from the pack or when to split up shy puppies into their own separate group. On one of the socials it was just me and my puppy, Dieuwke offered to give me my money back or just work with my dog alone. I opted to stay and we basically worked on my puppy's confidence and walk through a maze of obstacles. Like our own private session. I will continue to attend these socials and also am considering taking a basic puppy school course to further nurture my puppy's confidence.“

“Best dog trainer in the Bay Area! Mike is extremely knowledgeable, patient and personable. He has trained 4 of our dogs over the years and we are so thankful for his expertise.“

“David and his wife LeHang run an incredible academy for people who are looking to train, board, and learn about their dogs. My husky Jedi was an out of control puppy. 1 month with RFRD, he had all the training to make him one hell of a dog!Also took my mom's dog Obi there. He has benefited from the training and is a lot more disciplined than before. Whenever I go out of town, I can always trust the staff to take care of Jedi. They send updates with videos and pics of Jedi, so I know he's in good hands.Nothing but good things to say about this place.“

“I have used Karma both previously in Texas and now in the bay area. I have a leash reactive Labrador and was paired with Viviane. Viviane was so excellent and within three sessions my dog was more calm, more responsive, and happier in high stress situations. Viviane did a great job training me as well to better communicate with my dog. She was great, she met me first at my home in San Francisco, and then we met in the middle in San Mateo. Karma and Viviane provide after action reports and items to practice in between sessions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Riley loved her stay with Jody and loved playing with woody. We have confidence and peace of mind with Jody and are looking forward to future visits. Thank you Jody ?“

“Took the pups here at 16 weeks the schedule and location is convenient and worked well with our daily life. The training tips and techniques were helpful and Erica was patient and kind. We have used this service prior with our Rottweiler and he was the star of the show. Yorkies are a little more stubborn but oh so cute. Definitely recommend every dog needs school.“

“The grooming here is wonderful! Kristy is always so sweet and helpful and my golden retriever Taz looks brand new after every visit! You can tell they have a heart for animals - we appreciate you!“

“Amazing and totally involved! We found Lori through Yelp, and were convinced by watching videos on her website. We had adopted a shelter puppy who we were told would be 60 pounds, but seemed to be growing at a much faster rate than we expected. He is a sweetheart, but can be very domineering when he sees something he wants. And he was rapidly becoming too strong to easily control. Lori instantly took over on our first visit, and we saw our pup truly respond for the first time to somebody controlling him, rather than the way he wanted it. Lori instantly recognized something was off, and led us to correctly diagnose his breed (Anatolian shepherd) within minutes of meeting him. We were shocked to find out he might grow to 150 pounds, but instantly glad that we were getting him the training he (and we) needed. They boarded and trained him for a month. The dog is now a totally different dog. They almost completely changed his behavior and responsiveness. At the same time, they have spent a number of training sessions with us, to enable us to be responsible dog owners. Lori and her assistant Chelsy have been completely involved, making sure we know what we are doing, how to recognize behavioral issues and address them, and how to keep the big guy happy. They have answered questions about equipment, food, travel, and safety. Every time we go to train, Lori and her team has a number of dogs they are working with. All of these dogs behave almost perfectly, even with all of the other dogs surrounding them. We cannot recognize or recommend Lori enough. She is a true pro, and we have a magnificent and happy dog thanks to her and Chelsy. Her service should be considered by everybody who wants to share a happy life with a well-behaved dog.“

“The customer service was great with Bill and Isaac they both went above and beyond to help with all our questions and helped with information needed to cared for a pet my daughter adopted from someone ,all except for one person a manager with piercing in his ear lobs was very rude unprofessional and really needs help with his customer service his behavior wasn't something for someone of his position and if his behavior was this way to customer kind of makes you think how does he treat his employees something someone should look into other then that experience with him everything else was great with other employees“

“Store is clean, well organized, and well stocked. Staff is very friendly and helpful.“
