I knew about Hakuna Matata because my parents sent their puppy for training years ago. Mike, Joselyn and team provided EXCELLENT care so when I adopted a high energy, smart girl who loved to jump on people, I knew I could find the help I needed with Hakuna Matata. Poppy just spent 2 weeks learning basic commands and I am in awe of the changes in her. Mike spent time teaching me how to continue training at home so Poppy and I will be happy and safe for years to come. You will not find a more caring environment for pets and owners!

We sent out 1.5 year old German Shorthaired Pointer ; Cash here for the 2 weeks stay and train. We could not have been more proud and shocked at the results in such little time with our boy. Every update video made us tear up, every picture of him having fun with all the other dogs made us giggle! We have been able to establish a new relationship with our pup to create a happy more confident way of acting! I know he will be very happy to come back for doggy day care and boarding to see his doggy friends and awesome trainers!

We sent our newly adopted dog to Michael and could not be happier with the results. He was able to help build up Teddys confidence and ours as well. The whole process was seamless and we feel so lucky to have the support of Hakuna Matata as we continue Teddys training. We cannot recommend them enough!!
