Pet Boarding Training near San Luis Obispo

“Our girl Rui is a 3-year-old Shiba Inu. She's sweet and knows every basic obedience command, but she loves chasing any flying object or animal to the point where I could be holding a piece of steak, swamped and drooled over by other dogs, and she would still be at the far end of the park. Previously, she went through a ton of training, but nothing seemed to shape her behavior or decision-making. During our training sessions, she would follow the command, take the treat, spit out the treat, and look at me as if to say, "Can I go play now?" A small dog with a big attitude! The worst part was that she was able to fool trainers into thinking she was ready to go, leaving me feeling as though if the training didn’t stick, it was the owner’s problem.

Now it’s been about two months since we got Rui back from Mark. The reviews mentioning "a changed dog" are true. She heels much better and checks in more frequently during our walks. She even asks for permission before going after birds (no animals were harmed). The change in her mentality is reflected in her behavior. We’re really grateful to Mark because now we can walk Rui off-leash, and she gets the freedom she’s always wanted. If you baby your dog or can’t be a disciplined and consistent trainer for them, leave it to the expert.

P.S. We found Mark and signed up for board-and-train because we had to be out of town for two weeks. We had no expectations for the "train" part of the deal due to previous experiences, but Mark really delivered. He sent videos multiple times a day, which provided great reassurance that our baby was okay and showed progress. The end result was just unreal.“

“We got our Dobermans ears cropped here. They always accommodate our busy schedule. They're very understanding.“

“All the staff members are very nice and kind. They are knowledgeable about pets, large or small. Their training program is awesome. My little dog and I really enjoyed every minute of all sessions. The groomer is great too.“

“The staff here was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to get our dog in and treated the same day we called. The Doctor was excellent ? They even called us the next day to check on our Lucy girl? I would highly recommend them!“
