Karma Dog Training

I did the puppy classes with my puppy Sam for 8 weeks and absolutely loved it. My pup really had trouble with socialization, especially around people. The trainers, Katie and Branca, are SO incredibly patient and my pup went from avoiding every human in the class, to going around and sniffing new human friends. Every time we would come to Karma, Sam would get so excited. I will be looking forward to enroll ing my pup in higher level training with Karma. Katie and Branca gave me and my puppy the skills we needed to grow as an owner-​trainer team, and I highly recommend Karma Dog Training for anyone who wants positive-​reinforced training!

I did puppy training with my pup moose with Brooke and Brandi and had a fantastic time. Not only did moose learn so much but I myself learned a ton. Dog training takes commitment, patience, and time and they had all three. Wish I could get another puppy just to do training with them again, had so much fun. I recommend Karma Dog training to any owners I come across with a puppy!

2 paws up! As first time puppy parents, we needed some support! We have been using Karma Dog Training since our labradoodle puppy was in «kindergarten» class, and now that she’s graduated, we’re on to some basic obedience training. It has been overall a great experience. The trainers we’ve worked with most often– Katie and Branka– are organized, timely, patient, knowledgeable, and great with the dogs and dog owners. We are excited to continue training with them and highly recommend them.

Brooke Farrand of Karma Dog Training is thorough, compassionate, and very wise in her approach to working with our puppy and her people. She helped empower our daughter with very specific and helpful training techniques, and was flexible and insightful in helping head off nipping problems.

We had a wonderful experience with Aiyana and Brooke at our kindergarten puppy training. We learned a lot about our dog’s behavior and how to implement positive reinforcement and reward for training purposes and to build up trust in our dog, Luke. We learned the basic commands at the classes and with dedication and repetition at home, Luke has gotten better. Aiyana is very knowledgeable, patient and accessible for any questions you may have to ensure you and your dog are in the right track for a successful relationship with your dog. During class not only dogs learn the command but they also get to play and socialize with the dogs at class. We strongly recommend using Karma Dog Training and specially Aiyana. We are looking forward for the next set of classes.

My family and I had a wonderful experience with Aiyana and Brooke at Karma puppy kindergarten. I highly recommend this class for anyone with a puppy! We learned so much about our puppy and dog behavior in general. Aiyana has so much knowledge and skill, we feel lucky to have her as a trainer. We learned why our puppy exhibits certain behaviors and also specific commands that can she can learn to be a good canine citizen. The training focuses on positive reinforcement for a desired behavior. Through this approach, our family’s relationship with Emi (our puppy) is built on trust and positive experiences. People are always amazed when she comes right to us when off leash at the beach and are always commenting on what a sweet, calm, dog she is. I honestly attribute her exceptional behavior to the great experience we have had with Aiyana and Brooke. And if Emi could write a review, she would say…“The first time I went to puppy school I was not sure about the whole thing, I was shy and decided to sleep the whole time. The second visit I discovered that I could play with the other puppies, now that was some good fun! We puppies made a puppy pile! We nipped and rolled and jumped! I also listened to the teacher human who taught me all kinds of tricks, she made me feel like a champion!”

Aiyana helped me and my GSD prepare for AKC k9 good citizen certificate. I was very happy with her professionalism and acute awareness of my dogs behavior and environmental responses. The general philosophy to animal training was very healthy and positive. I would highly recommend!

I’d like to thank Aiyana Chapin for her knowledge and support and love of animals throughout the Puppy Kindergarten class we attended. We adopted a 4 month old German Shepherd mix from a rescue and Aiyana has been positive, upbeat and encouraging the whole time. With her help we have learned how to teach Kaia the basic commands and even overcome her food obsession. Every day she gets a little better. Aiyana really cares and goes above and beyond to make sure you and your dog are getting what you need, and more! Come check it out, we have so much fun!!!

I have never written a Unilocal review before, but was so impressed with Karma that I wanted to acknowledge them with 5 stars. I had a private, in-​home lesson with Aiyana Chapin to help me with my feisty puppy and it was so incredibly helpful. Aiyana could not have been more professional, personable and effective. She put me at ease immediately, focused on my dog’s problem issues and gave me confidence that I could actually succeed in my own training. Aiyana is awesome and the home training session was worth every penny!
