Instinct is the best!!! My dog is a regular here and I’m so, so glad I found it when we first adopted him. He’s done the board and train program, daycare and he regularly boards here while we’re away. Everyone is so good with him, knowledgeable and so friendly. I love that they do small matched playgroups, and are experts in dog behavioral health it makes such a difference. I honestly think him attending regular daycare here through adolescence made such a difference in his development and sociability - something I would not have been able to do on my own. And my dog absolutely loves it here. Every time we get here he can’t WAIT to go in, he doesn’t even look...read full review
My wife and I brought our extremely high-energy Goldendoodle to Danny, and the transformation after just four weeks was incredible. He came back such a well-behaved, loving, and amazing dog. It honestly exceeded our expectations. What really sets Danny apart is that he does not just train your dog, he trains the owners too. He gives clear, thoughtful guidance on how to maintain the progress long-term, explains everything extremely well, and genuinely cares about both the dogs and their families. We highly, highly, highly recommend Danny to anyone looking for dog training!
Instinct was the best thing that happened to us for our puppy Maya. She was having really bad leash reactivity. After doing camp + coaching, she is truly a different dog. She has learned so many skills with her trainer, Casey, and she absolutely loves going back to visit Instinct. They treat her so well there and really know what they’re doing. I can’t recommend enough!
