California K9 Solutions - Cali K9

I’m very happy with the private trainings. I appreciate that they know all the different ways to motivate my Malinois. Now, he can go to my work, cafes, hotels, campgrounds, digital nomad life. Isaiah went above and beyond to help me with all my various needs. All of the trainers are highly educated and naturals. They are much better than my friends that are dog trainers I’ve used before tbh. Time well spent.

I love this place. The trainers Nick, and Juan are the best. They are super knowledgeable, and every action that they do is for the safety of the pups that they train, and as the pups go out into the world. And as a base line Its refreshing to see BIPOC trainers.

Just presenting the facts and you be the judge if he ethics of this company are worth trusting your family dog with. We had purchased a quite expensive training package for your dog. Meanwhile she sadly passed away from renal issues. In between, her getting sick and then passing away, us dealing with the deep sadness for sometime. Then CaliK9 not responding to our requests and Jax himself ghosting us, they wouldn't refund us. And now they claim too much time as passed that refunds aren't eligible. If this company has this low morals for some cash, why would they treat your family member with higher morals and care.

Terrible customer service before, during and after booking their $3K 2-week-long board and train program for the weeks before and after Labor Day. They didn't give me any updates while my sweet and loving dog was boarded for 4 days and, per their own account, she had not been eating from day one. They also claim that my 15lb mini Labradoodle was "extremely aggressive" towards the trainers she's NEVER been aggressive, just leash reactive towards some large dogs and yet they gave her a bath before discharging her in the morning of day 5 - I still wonder, how can you bathe a dog that is trying to bite you?! As you can imagine, my dog was absolutely terrified and lethargic when picked up after getting a voicemail where they said it was "an emergency," and to get there "as fast as humanly possible," yet it had taken them 4 days to reach out? After this, they provided awful and slow communication to the point I had to message Jas Leverette the owner on Instagram to ask him to get his team to reply to my email about what had happened during those 4 days. I was able to prove that they had broken their own B&T Agreement and they refunded me, but they never even replied to my last email. It shows pure disregard for customers. Also, note that "balanced training," which is offered at Cali K9, is a euphemism for reward and punishment, which I didn't know, and that they may use slip leads and vibration collars to train dogs - it's in their policies on their website, you can check them out. Lastly, they don't show you the kennels where the dogs rest. That's a huge red flag, and I should have known better. I do not recommend. AT ALL.

absolutely horrible— if i could give negative stars, I WOULD. i pass by this area on my way home and the amount of distress i see the dogs kept here in is absolutely horrifying. in a record-breaking heatwave, these dogs were kept outside with no apparent water or shade. these dogs are boarded for long periods of time in extreme heat and are verbally/physically abused for crying. every time i pass by, i hear these dogs crying and barking. i even witnessed one of the dogs being hit one time. this place advertises themselves as a place where dogs can be safely trained in a good environment, but it’s the complete opposite. i feel horrible for the dogs there and i am in disbelief that i almost brought my dogs to be trained there. unless you want you beloved pet abused, DONT BRING YOUR DOGS HERE.

Great tips,too much backstory on the star instead of just focusing on the dog stuff. But ,I will say, he knows his stuff! I've used many of his tips and they work!

I loved the Netflix series. I hope they bring it back. People complaining about cruelty must be watching some other show because this show is heart-warming with all the love and kindness

Great trainers. Dog is really progressing well. Pro-tip, they have a parking lot out back on 2nd street

I have learned so much in such a short amount of time! I really needed the training as Luna is my first puppy. I grew up with a family dog but having a puppy on my own is a very different experience. So glad I found CaliK9 and took my Luna to 1:1 training. CaliK9s group classes are great too and they offer different levels of group classes. The group training is helping me to learn how to engage my pup even when there are distractions around. Can't wait to keep learning more and I'm sure I will rely on CaliK9 for any future training needs as they offer plenty of options and refreshers as your pup grows up.

We took our dog Fox to Cali almost four years ago. Fox is a rescue dog from a shelter that had been picked up off the streets with a dog bite, he presented as very dog aggressive. Not only did Cali K9 help Fox learn basic obedience but they also made it possible for him to meet, and even feel comfortable with other dogs. Cali K9 really helped save his life, we are now Fostering two GSDs that are reactive and because of the skills we learned Fox is able to be around them and we are able to help our two new fosters learn confidence and to be safe around dogs. I highly recommend this program to any person with a reactive dog, or any person who wants to lay the foundations for great dog behavior for the rest of their pets life.
