There is nothing in orange county that can hold a candle to this place. They have the best personal. These aren't high school kids with a summer jobs. They have a super experienced, professional trained staff. A great facility, and you can not only see but feel their passion and love they have for all their animals. Been going there since 1995. Currently I have two very large and getting larger Puppies that are there for training. After a few sessions I can't believe the transformation in their obedience. Should have drop off my kids there years ago. THANK YOU. Paul

GREAT EXPERIENCE! Roger was recommended to me by the hospital manager at my vet’s. My dog had been neglected and abused and once I rescued him he was overly protective. He is big and fear aggressive with people and dogs. Over eight weeks, 2 half hours per week, Roger has worked miracles! He taught me about being in charge without punishing, in control but not negative. My dog is so much better behaved and will get better as long as I keep up the training and consistency. He is a little like a drill sergeant but not intimidating-he just cares about you really “getting” it. I can’t rave enough!
The staff there really cares about the dogs. They are dog people who work hard to care for each and every pup boarded with them. This is a kennel where dogs are boarded, not a "resort" for dogs. Dogs can be dogs here.

Outstanding Training My vet strongly recommended that I seek training for my six months Doberman puppy with Roger Bortz- at Your Dog Trainer, when I shared my negative experience with our prior trainer whose charges were exceedingly high while her capacity to shape behavior and revise the training plan accordingly was non-existent. I should note that one recipe for all does not work, particularly when it comes to certain breeds! Roger worked closely with my Dobie and me for several weeks. He taught me how to train him and address his needs for exercise, love, and attention. After a few sessions, I knew we were in great/trustworthy hands. My big energetic puppy was following commands and becoming more responsive during walks and outings. Our Dobie is motivated to learn and continues to excel due to his expertise and commitment. Thank you Roger Bortz, nobody does it better!
