Pet Sitters in Shasta County, CA

My girl is always so happy to go here for both daycare and boarding. They take such great care of her. When we board her they send us pictures every other day and she always looks so happy

They were great. Took good care of my Chihuahua. It was his first time going to a doggy resort. They even sent me photos of him while I was on vacation

Wonderful place. Our 8 month old puppy has benefited from the extra social interactions with the staff. Our puppy is more calm now, and trusts people more.

We just picked up are two little dogs from NorCal pet services after a 5 night stay. Are dogs were happy and well taken care of. The friendliest people ever. They are professionals and pay attention to details. Their communication is above par even sending us photos of are happy pets. They will be seeing us again. Thank you Nor cal Pet Services ❤️❤️

Wonderful pet boarding service, my pup is always well taken care of whenever I drop her off here. Highly recommended.

What an amazing place! Usually our dog comes home from boarding very wound up, when we picked her up from here it was a night and day difference. Can’t say enough great things about Nor Cal Pet Services! We will continue to use their services.

They are so wonderful! They take such good care of our animals. They love them almost as much as we do. 10/10 recommend

I had never boarded my almost 12 year old dog before and they offered a room for rough dogs the four days he was there he did absolutely great! Will go back he loves his friends at Nor Cal!!

After booking with them a month in advance they waited till we were on vacation to tell us our dogs vaccine was expired and wouldn’t take him. I have heard they have done this to other people as well, they will leave you stranded be carful.

My experience with nor cal pet services was amazing we had our puppy bear scheduled for a stay and where needing a shot still summer was able to recommend a local vet that got me in the same day at a reasonable price . And now we are all good to go thank you so much for the help and professionalism would definitely recommend.

I cannot thank the kennel enough along with their amazing team. Our dog Toto has never stayed at a kennel before and he was there for 7 nights and 8 days. We had a delayed flight and couldn’t pick up Toto until the next day, I communicated and the team was so accommodating. Rhonda and team thank you so very much. Until the next time 😊 …

I was just the errand boy, I dropped off my daughters two dogs. The young man at the counter was very nice and helpful, and the dogs seemed to like him right off. The facility was clean and tidy.

Friendly staff. The outside pens are pretty muddy, but at least they get outside time. When I came to pick up my dog, there was a black lab running around and came up to my vehicle barking. The staff took it inside. I don't know if it was a local dog or boarding. The prices are very affordable. I like that it's back away from main roads.

Helpful and friendly staff make our kitty feel at home when we have to travel. The kitty section of this kennel is always clean and bright. When unoccupied cat compartments are available, they can be linked together so our cat has expanded living room. One cat gets their turn to use the main room where they can view the country side thru a big window.

They took great care of our pups for 10 days! We even got a few pictures from Kristen (thank you so much Kristen) on walks which was awesome and made me feel good about being away for so long. They are kind and communicate great. Clean kennels and had quite a few dogs trusted in their care.

Boarded my dog here for a werk. They did a great job with her. Definitely reccomend to anyone.

Golden Kennels has done a great job taking care of a dog. It is very reasonably priced, and our dog does well there. We left him for an extended 3 week vacation, and our dog did great. He is a rescue with abandonment personality traits and came home happy.

Over the past year and a half, our young pup Tekla has been staying at the Golden Glen “resort and spa” for short periods while we are out of town. She comes home happy and healthy each time and seems to enjoy her time with the staff.

You can't find a better dog boarding place in the North state. Sometimes businesses shine because you can tell that the people who run it love what they do--that is exactly what one can expect from Golden Glen Kennels. The dogs are always excited when they see the staff, which makes leaving them so much easier. Couldn't recommend a better small business.

Took our dog Mabel here when our son had surgery out of town. It is a nice clean location, prices are very reasonable, and the staff is very friendly. Will definitely be using Golden Glen Kennels again in the future. If you are looking for a place to board your dog, this is a great place.

I just have to say that we love that place they take suck good care for our dog that sometimes I don't know if he want to go home or stay. Topnotch thank you to all of you. We really appreciate everything you do cause when you leave your pet or as I say my kid you don't want to worry that they're ok. There I know he's breathing the best fresh country aire.

Okay, first of all, Country Aire Pet Resort does not discriminate based on breed!!! They accept all animals on a case by case basis. As long as your dog isn't aggressive, bring them!! I was so nervous about leaving my pit bull for a week since it was the first time we'd left him anywhere since we adopted him 4 months ago and he gets really shy and nervous around new people/places. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. He went right up to the staff and, though he was shy, he went with them willingly. When I picked him up, he was getting along well with the handlers, tail wagging and everything. They took the time to get to know him and hear my concerns. I highly recommend Country Aire and will bring him by for daycare and socializing.

This is my dog’s favorite place! He’s happy to be there and comes home exhausted from all the play.

Honestly so nice and there facility is so clean and well taken care of. My dogs didn’t end up staying here since I was able to get someone to watch my dogs at home but when working with the staff and taking a tour, it was beyond amazing. I would not hesitate having my dogs stay here if I couldn’t find someone to watch them. I do definitely recommend this place!

I have taken my dog here many times and he always has a great stay. The staff is very friendly as well :) highly recommend!

Steve and his team are great. On the one hand they are professional and demand all pets checking in are current on shots and not sick. On the other hand you can tell they love your animals by the way they greet them and talk to them. A clean, well maintained, safe and cheerful place to board your pet, drop off for doggie day care, or a grooming. Very highly recommended!

We LOVE Country Aire Pet Resort, but perhaps more importantly, our Walter loves Country Aire. The staff are professional and treat our dog lovingly, they know him by name, and they even send us videos of him playing in the yard with other dogs!! We trust them to take care of our big fella when we cannot.

We toured the facility. Read the reviews. Did our homework. Dropped off our two healthy dogs who were to board together. Brought food with instructions on how to feed. (Please wait so Sadie eats her food.) Notes were taken at drop off. We left feeling ok with leaving our girls for 5 days. We boarded so they wouldn’t be alone while I was out of town and my husband worked. No photos or updates on our dogs the entire time they were there. My husband was available if there were any problems. He told her at intake to call because he worked in town. On day 5 our daughter picked up our dogs. They tell her Sadie our Weimaraner, didn’t eat. Really? No concern for her health? No phone calls to my husband who could come pick her up? She could barely walk. She was taken to the vet. She was severely dehydrated And malnourished. She was given fluids. After tests, We found out she had cancer. She had shown no signs of illness prior to boarding. This facility didn’t cause her cancer, but they let her suffer alone instead of calling us. We would have picked her up. We are just heartbroken about the way they treated our dog. This is animal abuse. expenses of $390 for 5 days at this place and over $1200 at vet to try to save her life. Please take your dog elsewhere. She crossed the rainbow bridge on Nov 3. 3 days after she was picked up. I didn’t make it home in time to say goodbye.

I dropped off and picked up my roommate's dog from here. They are very friendly and helpful. The dog had a wonderful time and we will definitely be going back.

I reserved 5 days, my dog is a working dog and never stayed at a facility like this. Every single dog is going crazy, barking like crazy, it felt like a madhouse! You can use your bed and food bowls but not the strong collar. They tried to put a skinny piece of webbing and hung the noose over her head and my dog was not having it. I coaxed my dog to receive the skimpy leash and she went willingly with the employee. 15 min. down the road they are calling me to come get her! They put her outside, alone, isolated in 100+ degree weather with NO SHADE! They did say they'd isolate her from the madness. But now they said she's baring teeth and won't let anyone near her. The guy said I have to cut the umbilical cord, even though my dog is fully socialized and works in different environments. If my dog wasn't in such great shape she probably would've stroked out without any shade during this episode. I believe the employee should've stayed with her outside, that's where they blew it in my opinion. Country Aire Pet Resort does not describe this place accurately at all! Get some shade sails for outside!

He took great care of my 1 year old Pyrenees Odin over the weekend. He took pictures as seen below over his stay also. I recommend them 110%.

We had a trip planned to Montana post-thanksgiving, and our regular dog sitter cancelled due to illness. Jeffrey & family took great care of our frenchie for the week, followed her med schedule, and sent lots of updates with pics. Highly recommended and we will use them in the future

Arrived at Mr. Carlsons home to board my dog for a few days for Thanksgiving and immediately felt uneasy. My husband was standing by the gate because we were waiting for him to open it and when he let us in he acted angry asking my husband if he was pulling on the gate in which he replied no sir, I definitely was not touching your gate. That seemed to be resolved so I get my dog out to take her in and I ask if I could see where she will be staying. He immediately blocks the door and says no. Which I felt was weird and I said I’d feel more comfortable seeing where she will be staying. He said if you would have arrived early you could have! In a very stern voice. I arrived at 5:10 had to wait 15min before he let us in. Over the phone I asked when I should arrive and he said around 5 would be fine. He also stated that there were kids and dogs running around which was why I couldn’t come in. He keeps the dogs out to free roam his house. I said that was ok I would just feel comfortable if I could take a look. He said no again and I asked for my deposit back and he refused. When we spoke on the phone he made it sound like they would have their own area and be crated. Seems like a sketchy guy trying to make a quick buck. I do not recommend!

Another review said that Jeffery was angry for showing up early, he was also angry that we were early. Our instinct was to leave with our pets but we had a flight to catch. We returned after three days and called a half an hour away and when we arrived he would not bring our pets out since we were 1 hour early. Our pets were both sick with diarrea and internal bleeding and one had a cut on his face and a severe infection to his foot, I would not recommend this business to anyone if you love your pets.

We left our Jack Russel and elderly mixed breed with Carlson canine castle for 3 nights while on vacation. When we returned both of our pets had severe diarrhea and bleading internally. The Jack Russel had a puncture to his face, a broken tooth and a severe infection to his foot that we are still dealing with a month later. Jeffry stated that our Jack Russel was trying to claw his way through his metal fence and that is what caused all the damage to him ( why was he allowed to do this, No supervision ? ) This can all be corroberated by our vet. This facility should close it's doors immediately as it is unsafe to say the least. UPDATE: Very little if any of Jeffry's response is true. NO neither Ivan or Boo have anxiety as his photos indicate when dropped off. NO they did not have colitis, They BOTH had severe diarrhea and internal bleeding from a contamination of water, surface areas of the facility or something on the premises ( No it did not clear up in 2 days Jeffry it was more than a week ) YES our vet is retiring but fully licensed and sees some of his long time patrons. ( The first of three vet bills WAS sent and Jeffry only paid half of the first one and stated that he would pay the remainder and never did ) THE SPAM accusation is not true, I believe that if a business provides bad service that others should know about it. I believe this business is a danger to pets and would never trust Jeffry to take care of them again. ( my last negative review of a business was left over a year ago so NO I do not leave spam ) We arrived to drop our pets off a few minutes early and Jeffry was visably angry, we should not have left them at that point. As the other negative feedback shows Jeffry has an anger problem, is unreliable, does not watch pets properly, has an unclean facility and will say anything to shirk his responsibility. NEVER once did he call to ask how our pets were during their illness and injuries, does he care about our pets ? His facility is also on the Shasta County Sherrifs watch for that area. Anyone with a similar experience should report it to the Shasta County Sherrifs Dept.

Jeffrey and Jessica Carlson are excellent care providers. I feel comfortable leaving my two high energy terriers in their care. Jeffrey plays fetch with them! He takes the time to prepare their meals as my dogs have special diets. Jeffrey and Jessica are compassionate about dogs in their care. I highly recommend Canine Castle to care for your dogs.

I have boarded my dog Rafael (65lb German Shepherd) with them more times than I can count and I highly recommend them. They are his home away from home. As we pull up their driveway Rafael gets so excited! As soon as I've opened the door he's flying out and sniffing around or waiting by the front door to be let in, tail wagging, big smile on his face, no thoughts about saying bye to me. They've sent me pictures of him playing around with the other pups they board while I'm away. Never had a bad incident. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

They took great care of our lab during our out of town trip. Even during this miserable heat spell! Will definitely be calling them again!

My dogs were happy pups with lots of room to roam while at the Castle. Jeff and his family provided great care and gave me updates as requested. We plan to be back.

The Carlsons are amazing! I moved to Redding for work and didn’t know a single person. I travel often and needed a dependable, safe place for my Sissy girl! They have exceeded my expectations. I have been a customer for over 2 years. I NEVER have to worry about my Sissy girl when I’m gone. I know she is safe and happy with them! What a blessing they have been ❤️

10/10! Our Jelly pup was well loved while we were away. Terra stayed in touch to update us and send us daily pictures. She is a great communicator, kind, knowledgeable and professional. She even left a goody bag for Jelly and a report card for us to see when we got home. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does! We plan on using her services again soon!

Terra provided excellent service and took great care of our 4 goats and our dog. She is very professional and has great rates! We will most definitely call on her again in the future! Thank you Terra for going above and beyond our expectations!

Terra is the absolute best! My animals LOVE when she comes to visit. She has been a life saver when I have to work late. She goes above and beyond with making sure my animals have puzzles and treats. 10/10 recommend her!

We have used Terra twice to care for our two dogs while we’ve been away. She is a great communicator, reliable, and goes the extra mile for our pets, in other words: a consummate professional. We will definitely book with Simple Tracks again.

Terra has been truly amazing caring for our dogs. She is consistently reliable and goes above and beyond for our pups. She has managed unexpected messes along with any other mischief they might get into while we’re away. I really love the pics and updates every time she cares for our pups. I 100% trust Terra and 10/10 recommend her for all your dog care needs. 🐾

Terra is top-tier trustworthy, timely, and dependable. We have used her services multiple times and recommend her to everyone. She spends quality time with our pets and sends photos and videos while we are away. It is obvious that Terra is an informed and thorough animal lover and business owner, as she asks all the right questions and doesn’t hesitate to advocate for a pet’s comfort. We are thrilled to have been introduced to Simple Tracks Pet Care.

Terra is so wonderful, even with my skiddish dogs! She cared for them over a weekend and gave me regular updates to keep me informed. Highly recommend for any and all of your dog care needs!

Absolutely the best pet sitter ever!!!! I have 3 dogs and cats they send me videos and pictures when they come and feed them. They play with them and let them swim in our pool if it's hot !!! They are punctual, trustworthy and so accommodating. We use them whenever we need a sitter.

Had a great experience with Simple Tracks! Took wonderful care of my pup + two kittens while I was out of town. Felt super comfortable with her and she seems very knowledgeable about pets!

If you want peace of mind and the best care for your pets Terra at Simple Tracks is your go to gal!

Was under the impression dogs were able to spend ample time outside. Instead all dogs were locked in kennels both when I dropped off at 10am and picked up at 2pm. There were over 10 dogs locked in separate crates in the garage and were all barking and seemed like they had been in there quite a while. Garage smelled like feces. When I initially dropped off, my dog was immediately put into a kennel and not given a chance to run around first and get acquainted. I was then called an hour later by the owner demanding I pick up my dog because she was anxious and was trying to escape the kennel. Of course, she was anxious! That was not a healthy introduction to a new environment and it put her under a great deal of stress. I question the owners understanding of dog behavior. I’ve never had an issue boarding my dog at other places before and did not appreciate the owner then insinuating that it was my fault. In short, not a healthy environment for dogs, in my opinion.

My dog baxter absolutely loves it here. He is always excited to see sandy. She takes wonderful care of him and always gives me updates on how he is doing. She is knowledgeable and compassionate.

Sandy is great! She as an awesome set up for all dogs, no matter their size. Tons of shade, kiddie pools to play in, areas to run and stretch their legs. I've been using her services since she started! First with one dog. Then I got a second dog, just over a year ago. They both get SOOOO excited when they know they're headed to see Sandy! 🤣 Highly recommend you trust Sandy with your pups!

My Griffin has a great time!

Thank you

Great Family! 💙 and Healthy Frenchies …

We Highly recommend Heather. Let me explain a brief history of my 3 year old Rottweiler , pre visit with Heather . For just about a year we had been battling Chronic Pancreatitis with our Rottweiler, in and out of the Vet . Many emergency visits and thousands of dollars. She was put on a low fat gastrointestinal prescription diet. But she still kept getting flare ups and she would refuse to eat for days at a time and she would whine in pain. She laid around all day just looking depressed. She didn't want to play much and her energy levels were way down for her. She also had such bad breath. I decided to message Heather she got right back to me and we had the most informative appointment. We followed Heather's recommendations and We changed our Rottweiler food from the prescription diet to me preparing her food. I knew the first few days after starting her on her new diet that she was feeling better. She started having more energy, wanting to eat and not whining in pain when she ate. We are 2 months into this new way of eating and we have not had one Pancreatitis episode, no pain , no throwing up, her coat is so shinny she doesn't smell and she is just happy . It's worth the meal prepping and worth not having to go to the vet . Thank you Heather 😊.

We planned a 21-day trip across the country, something we had never done in our 50+ years of marriage. Initially our biggest concern was not the planning and scheduling, but the care of our fur babies while we were gone. We were so blessed to find Heather. Being that she is a Registered Certified Vet Tech gave us confidence that if any medical or physical issues would arise, they would be addressed immediately and professionally. But we got more than that. She opened her home and her heart and focused on their physical comfort and emotional needs, as well. Before we arrived, she had purchased a “tree house” for “CC” the kitty, so she could get accustomed to her surroundings before allowing her to roam free around the house. She welcomed our puppy's, ”Obie” and “Mia”, with all their bedding, toys and food to make sure they felt at home as much as possible. On top of everything else, she kept in constant contact with us reporting their activities and sending photos of them sleeping, exploring and playing. She went to great lengths to make us confident they were happy and well cared for, and for that we are so grateful. Her efforts provided us with a comfortable, carefree vacation and we would recommend her service to everyone. Doris & Steve Madison

Heather is an amazing veterinary nurse who is very knowledgeable and caring. We had a phone consultation with her because our dog had irritation post-grooming. Heather was very helpful and provided us with options and gave us advice to help the irritation. She also answered all of our questions and made us feel much better after the call. We highly recommend Heather!

I highly recommend Botanical Vet Tech Pet Nurse. Thay were wonderful to my Little Yorkie. Sunshine is everything to me, and to leave her for 3 days was a hard decision to have to make. But Heather and her family was just great with her thay really made her part of their family and spoiled her just like I do. I was sent daily videos of her enjoying her time with them. She was walked every day and she played and ate normally. Seeing this made me feel really good about leaving her. Heather will go above and beyond to make your pet comfortable and loved in her care! I would gladly let her take care of my precious Sunshine again. So will you!

Botanical Vet Tech Pet Nursing took excellent care of our 10 year old chihuahua/fox terrier mix. It was so nice to travel knowing our pet was in a loving family home. Her temperament upon our return was calm and happy! I would highly recommend this business!

My name is Tamara. Heather has helped me with my personal dogs and a number of rescue dogs. She is always there when I come across a health concern. My current dog Piper a 10 yr old boxer mixed was diagnosed with liver and kidney failure. Since starting her on enzymes probiotics and overall health supplement along with diet change. Piper has shown improvement in her overall wellness and her levels in her blood work have decreased . Which is an improvement that even surprised her vet. I can't say enough about Heather's compassion. For the animals and humans alike. I would definitely recommend setting up a consult with Heather if your pet is suffering from an Illness or you just want to improve there overall health.

Heather helped me determine next steps with my 3 year old Scottish Terrier who is having GI issues out of the blue. While I trust my vet, he is interested in treating the symptoms, which is great, but doesn’t get to the bottom of the potential issue. Heather helped me with questions for my vet, suggested testing, and long-term diets for my likely food sensitive pup. After taking an extensive history and asking all the right questions, Heather shared her knowledge and resources with me. I’m so grateful for her help!

People !! Do not hesitate to book Heather. She is a valuable resource in your Pet’s care. I used her for a ‘difficult’ nail trim and nutrition counseling for my two young Cats. She came prepared with like 3 simple devices as a back up plan, should we need them for the trim. We discussed what might work best, and it turned out we needed none of the tools. Of course my ‘nail trim monster’ was basically an angel for us. I loved that I learned about 3 new things in my arsenal, should I need them later. I knew before I met her, that we were like minded in the nutrition and care dept. She is a mix of conventional educated care, with a wealth of knowledge in the Herbal Dept. It was obvious to me from her FB that she was a passionate animal person. Sometimes cats are underserved by professionals, so you need to find the right person to help. We spent around an hour discussing my cat’s weight issue, health concerns, and she had researched every single food and treat I had submitted to her before our meeting. She had practical , useful, changes that I Could make right away, and she offered me many alternatives that I’d never heard of. She was worth very penny and is in incredible wealth of knowledge. Do this to educate yourself, do this for your pet , prevent Vet visits in the future by making simple changes now. I live in Redding, she is located in Red Bluff. If she was closer she’d absolutely be my number one choice as a Pet Sitter, etc. If your struggling with giving your pet a pill, or new medical procedures you need to do for your pet, learning how to do it yourself, aftercare from surgery, etc. Anything pet related, you will want Heather.

I have had a great experience with heather. I reach out to her because my Dalmatian Elsa was having allergie symptoms. Heather helped me and educated me about what’s best for Elsa health. I’ve learned what foods to feed as well as various supplements to incorporate in her diet. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and is able to answer all of my questions in a way that makes sense and is easy to understand. She’s caring , patient, understanding, and compassionate, and her support and guidance has helped me make a change in Elsa’s life for the better. She truly loves animals .

Heather is a wonderful caring person. Daisy, my 14 year old diabetic chihuahua terrier mix boards with Heather. Heather texts pictures. Daisy is very happy and safe. There is no one I trust more with my baby.

Best service ever

From our first training session I could see the love Marty has for his pups and the passion for positive training. I had no idea how to train a puppy, all I knew is I wanted a well trained dog. Marty has helped with every step from crate training, potty training, name recognition, recall, loose leash training, “mine & take it”, socializing and many other commands. That’s a lot when I think about it and there is no way I could have ever done this alone. Bailey is doing amazing and is a total joy. She is a well behaved dog. I enjoy each of our training sessions and look forward to the next! Thanks Marty, Bailey & I could not have done it without you. See you soon.

I don’t know how we would have survived bringing home a puppy without Marty. His endless knowledge, years of experience, and clear affection for all dogs makes him an asset to anyone with a dog. His prices are more than fair, and his training methods are clear and beyond helpful. We are so grateful for his help with our rambunctious golden retriever!

We are first time pup parents and were nervous about the training process for brodie especially because we ended having him unexpectedly! However, after making the BEST decision to go with Marty..brodie came home after two weeks of Marty’s boarding and training and we saw a great change in him overall! I went from having to chase him around the yard to get him inside to now a simple call! Among other improvements, he is now crate trained..and crate trained very well 😅 we appreciate Marty so much! What was also very helpful was Marty’s recommendations/suggestions he sent through text for better training and food/snacks. He walked us through brodies training in a way that was not overwhelming and we can clearly see how passionate and knowledgeable he is with training or just dogs in general! There’s much more I can say but I’ll end it with highly recommending Marty, you won’t regret it!

Marty at Pawsitive Training Center is an amazing dog trainer and puppy trainer. His professional certifications, positive reinforcement methods, and kind way of interacting with people makes him one of the best dog training services in Redding and Anderson!

Marty gave our little girl such a great start in life. Her board and train experience was very positive and taught her skills that we continue to help her learn. He took time to teach us how to work with her. It is so worth it to have a well-behaved puppy. Marty was able to socialize her with other dogs and people. When he is working with your dog, his focus is 100% on helping her or him be the best they can be.

Marty is an incredible trainer. Our 13 week old mini aussiedoodle just completed a two week board and train and we already see such vast improvements in her behavior. The best thing about Marty, aside from his obvious love for every dog he trains, is that he teaches dog owners to recognize signals and behaviors from their dogs that help them become better owners and better trainers themselves. He's also very compassionate. A few weeks ago, I had a day where I felt completely overwhelmed as a new puppy owner and felt like I was doing everything wrong. Marty talked me through some of the training issues and questions I had on the phone for about an hour. He was so kind and affirming. By the end of the phone call I felt much better and less likely to dissolve into a puddle of tears. ;) We highly recommend Marty for anyone looking for an excellent dog trainer, and we're looking forward to taking more classes with him in the future!

We had a great experience with Marty. I brought my high energy Pyrenees pup (6 months and over 50lbs) and my six year old daughter. Marty was fantastic with both. I saw a change in how my dog responded to me after the first class. It was amazing to learn how much my attitude and behavior affected my dog. My big victory is that i was able to call my pup back to me after she jumped a fence at home. It is very reassuring to know that the tools to communicate with your dog are not complicated, and just takes some dedication. If you feel like you would like to connect with your dog more, and build some positive habits, take a class with Marty.

Marty is the BEST trainer! We did private in home lessons and board and train for three weeks! My French bulldog came home a much better behaved and mature dog. I highly recommend Marty as a trainer and I love his Pawsitive training techniques we’ve learned!

To say Marty is knowledgeable is an understatement. He is not only qualified for training dogs and puppies, but also at explaining and breaking down that knowledge in such a way to make what the handler needs to know easy to understand. He recommended a book for us to read, "Puppy Start Right." This is a great book for anyone who is considering bringing a canine into their family to read before and after doing so. During our 8-week-old pup's recent 2-week board and train for crate and potty, he learned so much more, like not jumping up on people, waiting for food, supervised puppy play dates, resource guarding desensitization, riding in vehicles, meeting tons of new people, and more! I learned how critical this age and stage of development is to the rest of the dog's life. I can't say enough good things or express my appreciation enough for Marty's help getting us started off in a positive direction. I think of Marty as a canine coach and counselor who bridges the gap between human and dogs facilitating and strengthening their connections.

Marty is an excellent trainer who uses positive reinforcement to train dogs in a great way. He has done an excellent job with my deaf cavalier in the basic manners class and I look forward to participating in more of his classes in the future in my endeavor to make Poppy into a good citizen!
