What people have asked about this business.
How do you train a puppy not to bite and chew on people and clothing? I have told him no and given him a toy to chew on, but he is not picking up on either.
Your puppy has no idea what the word no means and giving him a toy to chew is the worst thing to do. A toy to the puppy is a reward just like a treat. So you're intentionally rewarding him on his behavior and will continue to do so. I suggest take some puppy classes at Kathy Santos. I have a 10 month old puppy that I have been taking there since he was 2 months old, alot of his bad habits (one of his habits was nipping at people) we have successfully stop but a few we are still working on. Kathy Santos dog training has helped alot.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR DOG DO NOT BRING THEM HERE. I will say the training classes are good, however the boarding and the daycare programs are complete scams. I have come to find out that our dogs are in cages the entire day lacking the care and attention this establishment promises. My friends and I have brought our dogs here in the past and every time they come home they are dehydrated, starving, and extremely hyper. Our dog’s behavior continues to be the same after every visit to Kathy Santos. She manipulates every negative comment and review by saying she doesn’t have you in the system, yet there are multiple reviews agreeing with me as well as other terrible experiences. Sadly it took me months to realize what was truly happening behind the scenes. If you need your dog to be taken care of throughout the day please consider taking them to another day care, in all honesty your dog would be better off alone at home than the way they are treated in this establishment. If I could give this place zero stars I would, have. a blessed day.

I have been training boarding and grooming my dogs with Kathy Santos for over 25 years. Her commitment to excellence, the dogs and their people is outstanding. I could not imagine training my dogs with anyone else!

Training has already made a difference in dealing with my dog. Stacey knows her students and the areas they need to work on and my dog LOVES her!
