Pet Boarding Training near Sunset Beach

“My Fox Red Labrador Ruby loves going to school at the Canine Learning Academy. She is doing fantastic! She is like a pro working dog when my wife and I take her out. She settles nicely while out dining and stays calm when shopping at Home Depot. Sam has been such a great trainer, she has become a valuable asset for our Ruby’s future during puppy training making the Canine Learning Academy a very special part of my family’s daily routine. I look forward to watching our Ruby develop as we decided to continue with her training with Prep 1 and Prep 2 classes! All the staff a friendly and genuinely care about our dog.“

“The Hounds Grounds is AMAZING! I have been bringing my puppy to the Hounds Grounds ever since he was 12 weeks old and he is now 3 years old! They helped me so much with him! They provided puppy classes, obedience training and refresher trainings! I also take my dog there three days a week for doggy day care and he absolutely LOVES it! The trainers at the Hounds Grounds are amazing and do such a thorough, loving job training the dogs and taking care of them. I feel so lucky to have found the Hounds Grounds - this is my dog's home away from home and he is taken care of so very well! I highly recommend the Hounds Grounds!“

“Tiff is great with dogs. She is very knowledgable and calm. She doggysat our crazy 1 year old, Nacho, for a few hours and did a great job corralling his energy. I think he may be a bit much for an apartment setting with other dogs. Thanks Tiff for doggysitting Nacho!“

“Our first visit and everyone was helpful. We had a very unruly dog, nickname Godzilla. The staff was professional and
we felt comfortable in such a caring environment. Thank you!“

“Best animal hospital around. Dr. An is fantastic and they are the only place with fair prices. Don't go anywhere else!“

“We and our cat were treated with kindness. Everything regarding his illness explained to us in detail. We left feeling informed and confident that we were on the way to treating his breathing problems.“

“Our dog just came home to us from a 10 day training in Huntington Beach. He was extremely reactive and out of control around other dogs, and I have to admit I was skeptical that he could be trained. His trainer, Jason, sent us updates and videos 3 times a week, and it was outstanding to see his progress, but I wondered if he would act that way at home. Jason brought him to our house for an hour lesson, and we were amazed at how obedient and attentive Luka was. He even walked right by Jason's dog without reacting. I was nervous that I would t be able to replicate the behavior, but I can only describe it as like magic! Luka is now much more calm and attentive, and can now enjoy being a dog without being anxious all the time. We can take him anywhere now, and he can be off leash running at the park. He comes a soon as I call. It will be a whole new life for him and for our family! Jason did an amazing job and we could t be more grateful!“

“After my dog flunked out of Zoom Room, I found Stacey. She is an absolute pro and taught us how to work effectively with a reactive dog with high energy. Her methods are calm and reasonable, she explains everything to you very clearly, and teaches you how to work with your dog when she's not there. Great find.“

“Humberto was a huge help for us in training our pup. He uses simple, easy to follow methods that encouraged us to understand and work with our dog’s psychology to build confidence and self control. Now we have a super-happy dog who we love to be around and people often comment on how obedient he is.“

“We have our husky shepherd groomed at Crossroads at least twice a month, they do a great job and their prices are reasonable. Our husky is our baby and when we take her, she’s excited to go, the other groomer she did not want to walk in the door. That says a lotThank you crossroad groomers.??????????????????“

“Leilani- thank you so much for the wonderful trail ride on June 16, 2024 that my boyfriend requested for his birthday! It was super fun, beautiful and very interesting. Your customer focus, riding experience, and horse knowledge really showed -as you carefully sized and fitted each of us with safety helmets, introduced us to horses you'd selected matching our skill level, helped us mount up and basic " left, right, walk and stop" commands. The trail ride was incredible - so much to see riding through the stable and seeing some of the 400 horses living on the 25 acre equestrian site, then riding through the extensive urban forest with so many beautiful flowers and trees, and then down down by the lake. Thank you for creating a beautiful memory!!“

“OC Canine Coaching was an excellent experience for us and our puppy. I've worked with several dog trainers over many years with my own dogs and with fosters as a volunteer with a rescue. Bryndon is the first I've worked with that I would without hesitation continue to work with and refer. He is creative and helped 2 puppy parents with different styles be successful and confident. 20 minutes into our initial consultation I was comfortable committing to working with Bryndon. He is professional, fully engaged, and showed an immediate impact during the consultation. Bryndon's approach with the human and dog is excellent. No aversive techniques. He taught us how to read our puppy's signals and respond.“

“I have known Alex for several years. He helped me with my last dog. I was just exasperated with Ben. He chewed up my furniture twice and was just a wild child! After taking Ben home to work with him he came back a changed dog. Most recently, Alex took my little Frenchie pup into his Board and Train program. He has a way of working with dogs using positive reinforcement and love. He also gives the owner the tools they need to continue the training at home. I would HIGHLY recommend Alex and the Dogfather Institute for all your training needs! Whether you have a problem dog, or just want your dog to learn some manners, Alex is your guy. I don't mean to sound like a commercial, I just really believe in what he does!!“

“Our 5 month baby Shenzi did a 2 week board and train with Lori and her team and I have to say the level of professionalism was top notch. We received daily photo and video updates on her progress and a clean off-boarding process to train us (as the parents) on how to continue the training at home. John was extremely helpful and clearly educated in dog training. He gave us clear and concise instructions which were very easy for us to implement. Thank you again John.

As for Shenzi’s progress, there is a VERY noticeable difference. She now understands basic commands - which are vital to break some of her difficult habits, such as barking at people/dog passerby’s. And while we haven’t broken that yet, I’m confident that with tools Pawsitive gave us, she’ll learn in no time.
She is also much better at home, much calmer and easier to handle. She seemed to break the puppy “rambunctiousness” while she was boarded. And bonus points that she seems to be house broken now!

Also more bonus points, they picked up and dropped off Shenzi all the way to us in Santa Monica!

All in all, if you’re looking for a high class, quality and professional trainer, you found your business. We will certainly continue to use them for future training.“

“Brookfield Pet Hospital is an iconic local business. It’s small enough to feel like family and access from parking is easy. The staff schedules appointments six days a week and with several excellent veterinarians aboard (we’ve seen Dr David and Dr Nguyen recently), they will see you and your pets ASAP.

I’ve been taking pets to Brookfield for more than two decades. All of the vets and every one of their excellent staff members have shown compassion to pets and people.“

“Opps! Walked in a about 15 mins before they were open, not realizing it at the time. Jonathan greeted me as I passed him. Grabbed what I needed and headed to the register. That's when I thought "Umm, did I dip in too early?" The answer was "Yes!" But Jonathan met me at the register. I apologized and he said "No problem!" and proceeded to help me out! Thanks!“

“We have had numerous dogs and cats that have come to Amigo over the years. Amigo is always caring and compassionate with their care of the animals.

I would highly recommend them for all of your pet needs!“

“Thank you, Oakley, for a smooth, professional, and kind check out experience. You are a real gem! The level of service you provide is top notch, Petco needs more Oakleys!“

“I took my kitten here and the experience was great. They explained that everything about what and why he was getting certain treatments and took care of him. They truly care here“

“Just left our first vet appointment here. Wow! Marcella and the doctor were beyond amazing. The front desk was so nice. They are so honest about what your baby needs, what the options are and they print out an invoice before you pay so you can discuss. Beyond helpful. So glad we found our new doctor for our Nala. Also, not sure if there are more nurses but definitely ask for Marcella. She was the sweetest and so gentle while giving out 3 shots.“

“Last night we had to help our 18 yr old cat cross over the rainbow bridge. Our doctor was Dr. Mark McDaniel & he was the kindest, most caring vet we have ever encountered. We have been coming to Ambassador for more than 15 years and have always received amazing service, but Dr. Mark cares deeply about the animals in his care, that is so obvious. We can't
thank him enough for his kindness!!“

“Began co.ing here in 2019 with my dog Shadow. Shadow died in January 2021 from heart failure, and the staff was so kind and supportive in his final months. Now I bring my reactive pup Penny, and staff has been very supportive and calm, coming to my car to provide care and offering ways to calm her and hold her for her shots.“

“Friendly staff, clean aquatic life tanks, clean store overall, lots of stock other petsmarts in these surrounding areas don’t have, and employees give great advice to pet parents about brands they recommend“

“I tried this vet after multiple negative experiences with smaller vet practices in the area the The vet here dr. Rachel is incredible, offers the care my pets needs without trying to upsell on things they don’t while also going above and beyond to ensure she is taking every possible precaution for excellent outcomes, the vet tech staff is also great. Couldn’t recommend this office more“
