Best Dog Training in Sacramento

This is our first time boarding our one year old Border Collie. The personnel are friendly and welcoming. I called one day to see how he was doing, got the answering machine and received a call back within the hour. Of course dogs can’t “talk” but our Collie was just as energetic and happy as ever when we picked him up.

Took my German Shepherd, Zeus to Elite to be boarded for 5 days and they took great care of him! The staff is awesome. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up. Definitely recommend Elite Dogs

They took care of my puppy while I went on a trip. Reasonably priced too! Will board again when needed.

We adopted a 3 month old cocker spaniel, Loki, from a friend who could no longer take care of him. The friend was not the first owner and we’re not sure about Loki’s upbringing before that. Probably not great, because he suffered from extreme anxiety and fear, and bad behavior issues both at home and on walks. When he was 10 months old we knew he needed more help than we were capable of and looked for a board and train. We found Animal Minds through an internet search and met with Susan after meeting with two other trainers. She walked us through how she would help him, let us know he’d be with her 24-7, would provide regular updates, and didn’t pressure us into anything. It went so much better than our meetings with the other trainers that it was an easy choice to go with Susan for the 8 week board and train. She was very easy to work with and as promised provided detailed updates, even unscheduled ones when we texted asking a question or wondering how he was doing. We met with her for a few practice sessions during the board and train so we could see his progress and we could work on some of the things she was helping him with. When we got Loki back we were impressed with how well-behaved he was. We are still working on his fear and anxiety (we knew from the outset it is most likely genetic and may never go away completely), but Susan showed us ways of dealing with those issues when they pop up. Thank you Susan! Highly recommend Susan and Animal Minds to anyone looking for any type of dog training.

Working with Animal Minds Behavior & Training was one of the best decisions I have ever made in getting some help with my one year old lab. My fiancé and I had a lot of anxiety trying to handle some of our dogs behavioral issues and we knew we needed some professional help. We opted for the off leash program where we were lucky enough to work with Susan who is absolutely phenomenal in her knowledge of addressing these issues and giving us the tools to continue with training once the program was over. She was attentive, patient and reliable and was able to correct all sorts of behaviors with our dog from walking on a leash to recall and to helping our girl Lyla with some aggressive issues towards dogs and other people. Our lives have truly been made easier with all the amazing training and guidance received from Susan and we simply can not thank her enough!!!

I adopted a sweet dog whose behavior was so out of control that I asked the rescue to take her back! I had tried, and failed to teach her even basic commands and couldn’t keep her off the dining room table, where she would troll for snacks before curling up to take a nap. I had lost hope until I discovered Animal Minds! Susan’s kind, consistent approach taught Jinx what is expected and how to easily comply. Susan also spent quality time training me to work well with Jinx so we can happily live together. Jinx is now a compliant, well-adjusted dog who is a blast to be around. Thank you, Susan, for helping me keep Jinx!

Halle trained and boarded our 16 week, golden doodle puppy for 3 weeks and we are thrilled with our decision. Halle took great care of Rosie (the puppy) and Rosie has been SUCH a delightful puppy since returning. Before she left she was getting into a phase where she would become too hyper and start nipping at my daughter’s dresses, backpacks, hanging dish towels, etc. Since returning she has been calm with barely any nipping at all. Halle also gave us tools and instructions for crate training our dog even though she has separation anxiety. All in all, it was money well spent and we’re booking the next course with Halle when our puppy is older.

Halle is nothing short of AMAZING! Within minutes of her arrival, our 14 week old cuckoo-for-Cocoa Puffs golden doodle was calm, attentive and focused! Nothing short of magic in my opinion!!! The two week “sleep-away” camp puppy training was worth every penny! What a pleasure our puppy is now!

This place is absolutely worth the price. My puppy went for the 3 week Well Trained Dog program and came home like an entirely different dog. She is so much more obedient and we are so much better for it. Adalee is an awesome trainer and took such good care of Pebbles. The difference is night and day!
