H.O.P. E. Dog Training - Norco, California

We enrolled our Great Dane, Moon, in a three-week training program with trainer Jamie at Hope Dog Training, and the results have exceeded our expectations.
From the outset, Jamie provided exceptional service. Throughout the entire program, we received daily updates, videos and pictures, which reassured us of Moon's progress and well-being These updates were not just informative but also heartwarming, showing Jamie's dedication to both the dogs and their owners.
Moon has returned home remarkably well-behaved and trained.
Jamie's expertise and patient approach have clearly made a significant impact on Moon's behavior. She now follows commands reliably and interacts positively with both humans and other dogs.
We are immensely grateful to Jamie and the team at Hope Dog Training for their professionalism and commitment to providing top-notch training services. Moon's transformation is a testament to their skill and care. We highly recommend Hope Dog Training to anyone looking to improve their dog's behavior and obedience.

I was very very disappointed. Darcy was very kind. And it is clear she loves animals. However, I sent my dog for a board and train because my dog was having issues beyond just training. My dog could sit and stay. That was not the issue.

My dog was aggressive On leash with other dogs and sometimes people, would bark or be aggressive to people that was near my car if she was in it, aggressive my other dog and actually have a Jekyll and Hyde moment and literally attack my other dog for no reason, was food aggressive, she was over protective with me to the point where she would even snarl and lunge at my daughter if she got close. My dog has
Terrible anxiety, territorial issues and needed behavioral training and to treat severe reactivity. I told her my goals was to be able to take my dog with me places because I could not as she was.

Darcy told me that she would handle this and that while maybe not everything would be solved that surely the training would help and then she would work with me afterwards so I can continue to reinforce behavior.

After taking my couple of thousands of dollars, and promising change… nothing changed. While the dog did well with the trainer nothing changed at home. As for at home training I got 1-2 hrs with the trainer AND THAT WAS IT!

I reached out and told her how disappointed I was and that I should get a refund. I invested in her word and nothing changed. I have the same issues. She told me she would provide more
Ongoing training with me and call me back.

Tick tok tick tok. She kept the money, did not fix one behavioral or anxiety issue with my dog and never called me for more training to help
Me
With my dog.

My life with this dog is EXACTLY as it was except that have over $2000 less in my checking account.

I valued her word and her expertise and it was blown away in the wind along with the money that I counted on helping me due to the training.

I am upset, disappointed and feel betrayed by the love I have for this dog and just wanting her trained so the dog could live a
Less anxious and more fulfilled life.

Sadly I DO NOT recommend this training for more anxious and aggressive behavioral issues.
If that is what you looking for IT IS NOT THIS.

We couldn’t be happier with the 3 week program we put our mini doxie in. Emily was amazing with him and by the time he left, he was a happier, more confident guy. Our chief complaint was his barking at everything, even at us at home. Emily explained that he lacked confidence. Since bringing him home, his barking has improved about 90%. He’s doing much better in public and not barking at strangers too! At the end of his training she spent about an hour and a half with us and showed all 4 of our family members how to do the commands she taught him. She gave us each the opportunity to try in front of her to be sure we all had the tools to keep his training up at home. We are very happy with the outcome and would recommend HOPE to anyone needing help with their pup. Their facility was very clean and the staff were all friendly to humans and pups.

We did the 15-day day training with Alvin. Our boy Maximus is a rescue GSD who shows some fear and anxiety. Alvin and the entire staff were very patient and loving with him during his stay. They all eased my own anxiety of having him away from home. I could not have been happier with the results of his training. Max learned all the basic commands along with heel, which is fantastic. We are able to build on the obedience that Alvin trained Max on each and every day. Everyone at H.O.P.E. are very knowledgeable and compassionate animal lovers that we can entrust our pets to any day of the week. For that reason, I bring Max back just so he can have his play dates with Alvin, Hailey, Courtney, the rest of staff and other pets in house. I researched so many training facilities prior. H.O.P.E. They were the only one that did not immediately recommend e-collar correction for my Max. While it may be needed at a later date, it wasn’t the first tool offered which told me they are about real behavior training. If you know, you know! At the intake, the entire staff immediately made us feel welcomed and at home and poured love over Max ❤️ They answered all of our questions patiently and provided us tools to use at home while waiting for our date. Being able to entrust our pets to a place where they are safe and loved while learning is priceless to me. They are a 10 out of 10 stars in my opinion.

My 4 year old husky SKY was boarded and trained here by Darcey for 4 weeks. Sky is very energetic but also liked to jump alot and his recall was bare minimum, but after the 4 week program I'm able to positively reward him now for his good behavior and able to handle him with ease. Thank you H.O.P.E and Darcey for all your hard work!

Cannot say enough good things about the puppy training class at this facility! We take our 4 month old yellow lab puppy, Frito, here for vet services and were excited when we saw the flyer for the puppy class. Darcy and her assistant Sean are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient! They took the time to teach us step by step the commands for basic obedience, playing with our dog and how to best get him adapted to our home! In each of the 4 classes, they utilized our time making sure that we got the most bang for our buck and sent us home with homework to practice with each week! The class helped us tremendously as first time pet parents and are forever grateful to them for helping us teach Frito how to be part of our family! Highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a dog training class!

Wow, knowledgeable people and great facilities. Prices are competitive but it is NOT doggy daycare so don't expect to pay $20 for a day of play. These guys get a lot done and your dog will be better for it, so be ready to have a bigger bill. A trained, obedient dog is better for the whole family and the dog so it is totally worth it.

Our 2 dogs did the 2 week program. The trainers were awesome! We received regular videos showing their training and explaining what we were watching. I highly recommend H.O.P.E. Dog Training!
