Martin is really a genius with dogs. My dog is not always the best behaved and when we got a cat, I was worried that our house would forever be a battle zone. Martin stepped in and solved the problem. Now, although they don’t love each other, they can nap 2 feet from each other no problem. Martin is also the best in an emergency. There have been more times than I can count when something has come up and we have to leave quickly for a few days. Martin is always reliable and when I get his text, “no problem,” I know that he’s got me. I give my highest recommendation to Doggy Dojo!
We met Martin when Ziggi was just a pup. Through Ziggi’s puppyhood and adulthood, Martin has helped guide our relationship with our sweet boy. One of the first things Martin told us was that dogs don’t know our language and how important it is to communicate first through body language and gesture. In other words, language they understand. This not only helped Ziggi enormously, but empowered us as his owners and quickly built up a language between us.Martin uses gesture and body language brilliantly and teaches owners the same. He is calm, kind and direct with his guidance. Ziggi adores him in a way that is hard to describe but clearly related to the trust and understanding...read full review
I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Doggie Dojo. Boarded Josie for 4 nights and got lots of updates and pictures. A homey, comfortable environment, lots of backyard fun and expert training. Will not hesitate to have my pup stay again!
