Yuruani Olguin Dog Training

We signed up for the premiere program back in October and I couldn't be happier with the results! Previously, Logan struggled with leash walking, greeting strangers, separation anxiety, grooming, and jumping on furniture when not invited. He's a 1.5y old Goldendoodle and was a little obstinate/stubborn when I'd ask him to do something which made things difficult. I didn't want to subject him to a choke/zap collar and wanted him to trust me if I asked him to do something to really keep a great bond between us. I had started with the positive training method when he was young, but at a certain point I just didn't know what would work for him anymore. I also had hoped that Logan could someday be a service dog; I struggle with anxiety and I wanted him to be able to help me at some point. The way things were going, that seemed very unlikely - I could barely control him on leash and he exhibited some anxious/nervous behaviors (barking, scratching the floor, whining). Since our 15 session program with Steph, Logan's a whole new grown up doggo! He's much more attentive to me and what I ask him - better listening skills and more relaxed when we meet strangers. It's enjoyable to take him for walks now and I actually look forward to bringing him places whereas previously I felt it was a huge burden. He can handle being away from me in another room and enjoys being in the living room in his bed more now than ever before, which is fantastic when we have people over! Steph was so patient, listened to my concerns each week, and sent me the lesson plans at the end of each session so I could practice with Logan on my own too! She was lovely to work with, made sure her treats didn't have anything Logan was allergic to in them, and genuinely cared about Logan's progress! She gave me several tips on how to practice when she wasn't there, what harness I should be using, what treats work best; so many things I didn't previously think about that made such a huge difference! Note: Dog training is not an overnight process. I had no ridiculous expectations that things would happen after one session, and it's an investment in your dog. They have to get to know the trainer and trust them, the same way they trust you. That's the big reason I signed up for the full program, because I knew it would take several sessions and they priced them fairly compared to some of the other trainers in the area. My boyfriend was the most skeptical about the cost versus the outcome, but we saw improvement from Logan after just 4 sessions (2 weeks) and he couldn't believe it! We've both been so happy with how well mannered Logan is now! I would absolutely recommend this training program to anyone looking to sharpen their dog's listening skills and reinforce good behavior/bonding with their pet. Steph was amazing to work with, had a very calm demeanor, and I enjoyed all of our sessions together! Huge thank you to Steph for helping us get Logan his Obedience diploma & one step closer to becoming a service dog!

We were booked with Sana who was very nice and empathetic to our dog. He has pretty bad fear of the city, and specifically things on wheels. We were looking for ways to help our dog who can try to run away from the things that scare him. She offered us tips and advice as well as some commands to help us keep our dog within his threshold. There really isn’t a quick fix for our dog; he needs time, consistency and love. However, Sana was able to reassure us that we were headed in the right direction and gave us a few more tools in our toolbox to utilize.

Yuruani is super friendly and responsive. Her trainers are very professional and experienced. They really care about the dogs that they train and try to make it as easy as possible for the dog parents. We are so grateful to Yuri and Sana for the great training they did for our pup. She had completely changed within the 15 sessions we did with them. We've also gone back for additional sessions. Would highly recommend!
