Shades Of Blu Dog Training INC

Ari is amazing! Her love and dedication comes across when she is training dogs and I have to say humans as well!! She worked and did life changing training with my two boys Rocket a deaf two year old Australian Blu Heeler and my boy Junior a 1 year old American Bulldog/Amstaff mix two very stubborn dudes and they are thriving and had a blast while working with Ari. She maintains contact and ask how they are doing and keeps answering my questions as I also learned how to comunícate with my dog crew! I searched everywhere and just did not feel confortable with what I was seeing so being from Santa Clarita the 3+ hour one way trips to San Diego were well worth it and she always made time to meet for drop off’s and pick ups. Ari is also an advocate for the dogs and tells it like it is like what yo expect and also how to be fair what we ask of our best friends. Shades of Blu is an amazing training company who adapt to your dogs needs and don’t just follow a cookie cutting style of training as Ari showed me all dogs are different and react differently. Looking forward to join the shades of Blu dog training community meet ups!!!

I highly recommend Shades of Blu’s board + train program! My enormous, anxious, reactive, and energetic 2yo chocolate lab came home after 7 weeks with leash manners, obedience, and confidence training that made both of our lives better. I now have the tools to continue his training to help ease his anxiety in new situations and the foundations that Felicia and her team worked hard to establish have made huge changes in our home already. The follow up transfer training sessions and opportunity for group lessons is icing on the cake! We can’t wait to perfect our training (dog and humans!) with Felicia’s continued guidance and assistance. Her approach to training and offerings were the perfect fit for our busy family and her practical, realistic advice make maintaining our progress actually achievable. So thankful we found Felicia and Shades of Blu! Looking forward to our continued relationship!

I sent both my boys for a board and train and was shocked at the progress. One was only 3 months when he went- and though he still has his puppy moments it was amazing to see the transformation. My older one has previously been to another board and train with a different company for 2 weeks though it needed to be done again and i am more then pleased with the results i got after the new b&t class. Even after the B&T class, the training didn't stop, there are group classes, meet up sessions (i think we spent over an hour at home depot just touching up on things they learned at training) and frequent training material always available. If cost is a concern this company also has financing which was a win for us! If you need training give the company a call and see all the different options

Did a board and train on our 3 month old puppy and a repeat on our 4 year old German- even once they come home the training never stops! They are setting up group classes and meeting sessions occasionally to ensure the dogs are still where they should be! We have done B&T with other groups for 2 weeks and didn’t get the same results. Not to mention they have options for financing which made dog training even more doable.

I have a Bernedoodle named Lucy and she is 14 months old. She is an absolutely great companion for me but she was having some behavior issues because her excitement level was too much when encountering other people. I am disabled and have been home with her 24/7 and never had a reason to not play with or give her attention when she wants it and I think she believed everyone wants to give her that same level of attention causing her to get over excited when seeing people. I used past tense because after spending three weeks in the board and train program with Arianna she is a completely different dog in all the right ways while maintaining everything about her that makes her so special. I am thoroughly amazed with the results and there are not words that can convey how strongly I recommend Arianna as a trainer. From the moment you meet her you will instantly be comfortable sending your dog away with her. When your dog comes home you will be grateful you made the call and arranged to have Arianna train your dog. Your dog will be in a loving and caring environment which should always be the priority. But the results are the reason we seek a trainer and you will be thrilled with the results.
