When talking to Joselyn during our phone consultation, my wife and I were already sold on Hakuna Matata. She spent nearly an hour with us discussing the training program and went into detail regarding what plan would be best for our puppy. Michael, our trainer, was no different. He is an extremely thorough, respectful, and genuine trainer and we cannot thank him enough for the time he spent training our dog. We continue taking our dog to Hakuna Matata for daycare and could not say enough good things about this place.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Hakuna Matata Dog Training and their incredible trainers! They’ve completely transformed our dog into the well-behaved, calm, and obedient companion we’ve always hoped for. Before starting training, our dog struggled with barking, leash pulling, and inconsistent obedience. Thanks to the expertise and dedication of the Hakuna Matata team, he now listens to commands with ease, walks beautifully on a leash, and is so much calmer in all kinds of situations. Even his barking has dramatically reduced! The trainers were not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly kind and patient throughout the entire process. They tailored the training to fit our dog’s unique personality and needs, which made all the difference. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs (and their owners!) they work with. Hakuna Matata has made such a positive impact on our lives, and we’re forever grateful for their hard work and guidance. If you’re looking for top-notch dog training services, look no further. They are truly amazing at what they do! Thank you, Hakuna Matata, for helping us enjoy the best version of our dog. We couldn’t be happier with the results! --Deveney Family

We heard about this amazing training team from friends and we’re not disappointed! They took our Corgi for two weeks and sent us updates on how he was doing daily. Once he was ready to come home, they brought him back to us and talked us through the methods, how to use the e-collar and even helped us perform our first walk with him. They are always available for questions and our dog loves going back for boarding. Worth every penny!

We had an amazing experience with Hakuna Matata Dog Training! We worked with Mike, who was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with our dog, Brew. He made sure to work at Brew's pace, which really helped build trust and confidence throughout the process. Mike communicated with us every step of the way, keeping us informed and involved in Brew's progress. We're excited to send Brew back for boarding and daycare in the future, knowing he's in safe hands with Mike and the rest of the team. Highly recommend to anyone looking to strengthen their bond with their dog!

I can’t recommend this dog Hakuna Matata enough! When we first started, my dog (Mimi) was very shy and hesitant around both the trainers and other dogs. But thanks to their patience and expertise, my pup quickly started to come out of their shell. Michael, in particular, is absolutely wonderful. You can tell he truly loves his job and pours his heart into working with the dogs. His calm, caring demeanor made all the difference in helping my dog feel comfortable and confident. The progress we've made is incredible, and I’m so grateful to the entire team for their dedication. If you're looking for a training program that not only gets results but also prioritizes the well-being of your dog, this is the place to go!
