Michael, Joselyn, and the entire staff are professional, knowledgeable, kind and considerateof my needs. Buddy is my adopted 3 year old mixed terrier, who is the joy of my life in my later years. I was concerned that he had no dogs to play with. Also, I was unsure about his behavior around strangers and other dogs. After a 2 week training program, Buddy now attends dog day camp twice a week for socialization and I have their professional help for grooming, vet visits if needed, and a safe great place to leave him when I travel. I can't say enough positive things about the care and attention we receive at Hakuna Matata

We had our dog Faust at training for two weeks with Mike, and I swear he came back a new dog! His recall has improved tremendously, he heels and goes to “place” on command, and he is less anxious in his kennel. They were very attentive to my questions and concerns and he seemed to be having a wonderful time at camp!

We sent our dog to Hakuna Matata for a two-week obedience training program. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they work with—our pup was treated like family! We really appreciated the consistent updates every few days, which kept us in the loop and reassured us that our dog was doing well. Mike is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also fully transparent throughout the entire process. We saw progress in just two weeks, and we’re so grateful for the guidance and support. We would recommend Hakuna Matata to anyone looking for a professional dog trainer!

Hakuna Matata dog trainers are passionate about dogs and care for them deeply. They understand behaviorism and reinforcement and also understand canine development. They're excellent trainers!

We had a fantastic experience with Hakuna Matata Dog Training! Our puppy Buddy spent two weeks there and had an absolute blast. The training and care he received were top-notch, and it was so clear he was well taken care of and genuinely enjoying himself - the pictures truly say it all!! Huge thanks to Michael, Joselyn, and the whole team for making everything so smooth and positive. It was 100% worth it, and we’re so happy to have found a place we trust—not just for training, but for future boarding and camp too. We’re excited for Buddy to have a safe, fun place to go and can’t wait to bring him back!
