Pet boarding/training near Goleta picked by BestProsInTown
“I wouldn't trust anyone else with boarding and training. Our dog is our child! Ricky and the Elite Pup Training staff have kept her safe, healthy and thoroughly exercised whenever we are gone, and their training has made her a better, happier dog. She is always thrilled to see them when we arrive, which makes dropping her off so much easier. We are so thankful for EPT.”
“Anne Swan is by far the best trainer in town. Whether you want a perfect home companion, or a dog to compete with, Anne has the experience to me all your needs. She advocates positive reinforcement training techniques and every dog that has taken a class from her absolutely adores her. There’s no need for choke chains, prong or shock collars when you work with an experience trainer like Anne Swan.”
“If you're looking for a dog trainer or boarder in Santa Barbara, Follow the Leader is the absolute best and will completely change how you interact with your dog! We first met Eric when we were searching for a trainer who worked with foster dogs. Eric immediately understood our foster and helped us understand all of the behaviors that we had been naively reinforcing. After seeing the incredible results that we had with our foster (who was adopted shortly after Eric fully trained him!), we signed our dog, Roscoe, up for training and boarding with Eric. We had worked with two other trainers in Santa Barbara before to varying degrees of success, but Roscoe remained anxious, unable to handle change, difficult to manage on leash, and reactive to motorcycles and buses. We had resigned ourselves to building a routine around these behaviors, but Eric showed us why this wasn't helping anyone and how we could better communicate with Roscoe to have the fully trained dog we had only dreamed of. Roscoe is now calm around distractions and off-leash trained, and we understand how to communicate with him so that he understands our expectations. Our lives are so much calmer, quieter, and easier, all thanks to the amazing FTL crew. We also now have a trustworthy and loving place to send Roscoe when we travel and know that he'll come back with in the right mindset. The magic that happens with FTL is undeniable and will make you question why it took you so long to start training.”
