"We loved our experience with at-home dog training with Greta! She cared so much about us, our new puppy and his well-being. She took our worries about his behavior seriously and provided us with actionable steps to move forward. Greta is a wealth of knowledge and we'd definitely recommend her services, as well as Instinct, to anyone!" says Darren on Google

"My dog went to instinct for puppy training for two weeks and couldn’t recommend enough! We had Casey and absolutely loved her. She provided us daily updates, photos, and videos and after the two weeks my puppy’s anxiety had very much improved, gotten used to city sounds, and knew basic obedience skills such as sit, down, and touch." says Felicia on Google

"Instinct is awesome! My dog Finn is reactive and territorial; he had some prior training (mostly for leash walking) but was still fearful and anxious around people indoors. He stayed 2 weeks at Instinct for Camp+Coaching, where his trainer Rebecca helped him learn coping skills. Rebecca gained Finn’s trust so quickly! She was very patient with him and I could tell from the daily photos and videos she sent that he was.." says karen on Google

"We were so impressed with Instinct training and are so thrilled that we used them to help with training for our dog Yogi. We were particularly impressed and thrilled with our experiences with trainer: Samantha Bell-Brown. She was extremely professional - always on time and ready to work with Yogi, always prepared with additional snacks, and constantly checking in in-between sessions to ensure good continuity. She taught.." says Nicole on Google

"I have had two dogs trained at Instinct. To say the trainers and caretakers are passionate about their work with dogs, would be an understatement. These folks go out of their way to make sure the dogs and families they’re working with are set up for success. Oyuki has been our most recent trainer with our 160lbs, protective mastiff mix. She has given us the tools to prevent leash aggression which has been our biggest.." says Karina on Google

"Instinct was our last hope when it came to training Winston. He has severe anxiety and really had a hard time with going outside and being around new people. He was in the board and train program for two weeks, and the work that Oyuki and Kelly did with him has completely surpassed our expectations. The fact that Winston is excited to see them even after a few months of being back home says so much. We still have work.." says Sabine on Google

"I cannot say enough amazing things about Instinct. When we adopted a puppy I realized I was lost! I'd only had adult dogs, and I needed help! We've done training and boarding with instinct and I feel so incredibly lucky and thankful for their support and genius. they are worth it! Sam and Karen are incredible trainers, but I suspect they all are." says Jen on Google

"We've had an amazing experience with Sam and the team at Instinct! From the very beginning, they took a nuanced approach in figuring out the best means of training for our dog.

"Instinct is the only place I trust with my dogs care. My dog has an anxious disposition and they know how to calm his and my nerves :) I love my dog like a child, and am very selective about where I leave him when I have to travel. Instinct is the only place I use for my dog Antonio. The staff is great! Dayvonne always alleviates all my worries and truly loves the dogs that are in Instincts care. I highly recommend.." says Jennifer on Google

"Casey K and all the staff at Instinct are so professional, knowledgeable, and treated my puppy as if she was a part of their family! I left my puppy Bean with Casey for two weeks as a part of their puppy raising program, and I recommend it so highly to anyone looking to get their puppy on the right start. I would have been lost without their training and expertise honestly! We will definitely be back to board and train.." says Jenna on Google
