Shades Of Blu Dog Training INC CA

Go to a reputable business if you’re spending this kind of money. I got on a call with Ari and expressed what my goals were with my puppies training. We ended up doing a 4 week board in training for a little over $4,000. Their website suggests a list of behavioral corrections such as impulse control, recall, leash walking and many other things that will be corrected. My puppy came back 4000$ later with 0 changes. 0. Their trainers have their own businesses and don’t have time to tend to the dogs they bring on. It’s insane. I have before and after videos of my dog. I have a 15 lb cavapoo and they're now claiming my dog was difficult hence why she wasn’t trained properly. Idk how anyone would trust them with bigger dogs. Before anyone does business with these people, please feel free to reach out to me for videos of their work. This is how to owner communicates:

We love Shades of Blu! We have trained our pup, Benson with them since he was 3 months old (he’s now 3 years old). With their help Ben is e-collar trained, crate trained, amazing on place, great with our son, and is a well-rounded/confident dog. There are very few people I trust to leave Benson with, but I always feel confident leaving him with Kristin, Ari, or Felicia. You can’t find anyone better than these three!

SD is a bit of a far stretch from where I reside but there’s a reason as to why I would keep coming back to Kristin and Ari for training and boarding for Oscar. They are amazing trainers and people that you can truly trust your dog with. Oscar and I worked with Ari in a group course prior and will always try to attend their group activities they offer alumni. It’s a lifelong resource with them and I am always able to get some insightful information back from them that will help me and my dog. I’ve sent Oscar to Kristin for boarding will not hesitate to do so again. Kristin was also a big supporter into getting Oscar into dock diving and we have so much fun while building confidence for my big insecure dog. I can not recommend them enough, just wished I was more local!

If Ari only has one fan it is me, if she has zero fans, I am dead. I cannot say enough good things about her and her training. I sent my 3-year-old puppy to her for board and train because I have done other training programs with little progress. Ari met with us initially and I explained I would like to improve Freya's manners in everyday settings. When I tell you Ari delivered. In three weeks, I did not expect the progress that Freya made to be possible. Ari kept me updated the entire time on Freya's training and then worked with me at pick up to go through everything I needed to know. Shortly after pick-up, I took Freya to our favorite locations, and she was completely changed. There was no reactivity to other dogs, even those who lunged at her, she was able to walk next to me without pulling and she just laid down as I shopped around the store. I will forever sing Ari's praises and will suggest her to anyone who needs to have their dog trained. I am not one to normally leave a review, but this absolutely warranted it.
