FirstBarkWe had Joe Cruz come by for 5 sessions at home with our new dog (she was 6mo old when we started with Joe). We have 4 kids and Joe was great working with the whole family. Within 15 mins of the first session our dog was following “sit” and “down” commands. Highest recommendation. These folks are legit.

Community answer · Ultimate Canine · 2020-09-21
They have a number of different options, including stay and train where your dog would stay in their care while being trained (maybe a few weeks) or they can send a trainer to your home to do classes with you and your dog together. They're amazing, definitely worth looking into to see if its right for you!

This is the best of the best. We had an amazing experience. First class service, trainer and facility. Joby made the experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a better trainer to help us along the way. The knowledge he shared with us was priceless.

After bringing home our Golden Retriever puppy, we are so grateful to have found Ultimate Canine. We signed up for five in-home private sessions with Joe Cruz, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the progress our puppy, Wilbur, has made. Now at five months old, Wilbur has become such a well-behaved puppy, and we've received countless compliments from friends and family — all thanks to Joe’s patience, expertise, and dedication. Joe is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, and we've learned so much, not only about training but also about understanding how dogs think, which has been invaluable. It’s clear that Joe truly loves what he does, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding dog trainer!
I can't recommend Joe Cruz enough! We had the pleasure of working with him and completing a 2 week stay & train program for our 6 month old golden retriever puppy, Harvey. Joe was very patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled at understanding the best way to train our puppy. He would always thoroughly answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend Ultimate Canine and Joe Cruz!

This is a very large and new facility that is equipped with everything needed to train canines. The trainers are very knowledgeable and hard workers. The trainer we spent time with was a true expert having been an Army Ranger, a policeman and a fireman. He spent hours with us going over methods and issues which might come up. My only criticism is that the reception area is in an area with hard block walls and a very high ceiling which made it extremely hard for me to hear.
