Pet boarding/training in Temecula

“We had an amazing experience working with Mark as our dog trainer. He worked with our 1-year-old dog, Colt, for five lessons, and the transformation has been incredible. Before training, Colt struggled with listening, lacked confidence, and didn’t really respect commands.
Mark is extremely patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about both the dog and the owner. He didn’t just train Colt, he gave us the tools, guidance, and confidence to continue reinforcing everything at home. His approach made a huge difference in Colt’s behavior and confidence level.
We’ve seen such positive changes, and we feel much more in control and connected with our dog now. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective trainer!“

“We chose board and train from my mother-in-law's fearful reactive snappy dog. She is now a friendly obedient girl we can welcome in to our home.“

“I have done many classes with my two malinois at North County Canine and have always had the best experiences. Dustin and Jess are both incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable.

The most recent class we attended was rattlesnake aversion training with Andrew, and it was excellent. He was very patient with my dogs and especially helpful when my more reactive dog was struggling.

I would definitely recommend them, especially during the hotter months when rattlesnakes are more active and out and about!“

“It was my first time going to this animal hospital and my pet had a very sudden and unexpected medical emergency right in the room as the vet was just doing a routine wellness check. The veterinarian was so quick to react and for that reason my pet is still here. They were very supportive of any treatment I wanted done, and their sense of urgency when my pet was in distress really showed me how much compassion they have for animals. I will definitely be bringing my other pets here in the future.“

“I brought my 11-month-old German Shepherd to Marvel K9 for their advanced off-leash board and train program. Leaving him there for several weeks made me really nervous, but it ended up being one of the best decisions I've made.

They truly love dogs and took great care of my boy. My biggest concern was that he wouldn't be the same dog when he came home, but he's still 100% his old goofy, happy self... just much better behaved. They were also great about answering all my questions and putting up with my frequent requests for pictures while he was there.

The part that impressed me the most, though, was how they handled bringing him home. They didn't ask me to pick him up and they did not just drop him off and leave. They took the time to walk me through everything, get us started with his routine and training in our own environment, and make sure we were set up for success before they left. I really think that made a huge difference.

It's only been a day since he came home, but we've already had plenty of chances to see his training in action. My pest control guy came by, and instead of getting overly excited like he would have before, he stayed in place without reacting. Seeing that kind of change so quickly has been amazing.

One thing I've come to appreciate even more is that this program wasn't rushed. Years ago, I hoped to have my grandparents' dog trained through a different program that was advertised as being similar, but it only lasted about less than a week. After seeing what Marvel K9 does, I honestly don't think the two programs are comparable. Marvel K9 took several weeks because they weren't just teaching commands. They took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable, confident, and happy before expecting him to perform at this level. To me, that's what made all the difference. The end result wasn't just an obedient dog. It was the same dog with a huge personality I dropped off, just with the skills and confidence to make much better choices.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with the experience. If you're on the fence about doing a board and train because you're worried about leaving your dog for a few weeks, I completely get it. I felt the same way. I always said I would never do it, actually, but I did and I don't regret it. I'd absolutely recommend Marvel K9 to train your pups.“

“Glenn has been extremely knowledgeable, caring, and friendly in helping my family train our puppy to be on the right path.“

“I loved working with Teri. She was super compassionate with my dog's needs (he is going blind and is deaf). She completely understood my concerns and my dog's behavioral problems. I've had my dog for 15 years now and he's always had aggression problems but it suddenly got scary this year after we moved out of a home he and I had lived in for his entire life to relocate for my work. She's super gentle, does NOT use a nasty choke chain or pull some abhorrent Caesar Milan rubbish on your dog and that is what I was looking for. My dog is my baby, he has been for 15+ years, and I wanted a gentle hand, not a smack across the face. She doesn't raise her voice or stare them down to assert dominance. Teri works her magic with patience and understanding instead of fear and dominance and for that, she has my utmost respect. Please give her a shot! Sadly, we had to stop working with her because we're moving soon but I plan on checking in with her as soon as we get settled! She's a rare gem in a crazy world.“
