Buddy's Way K9 - San Jose, California

I cannot be more satisfied with Sybl and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
My puppy, Annie, was 7 months old when we started our training for Annie to become a medical service dog due to the special medical needs of the family member.
Before the training, I spoke with Sybl on the phone and explained what I was looking for. Sybl listened very carefully to the issues I had and what results I needed to achieve, and she did the research of the requirements even before I agreed to have her as a trainer. Her attention to detail, potential customer, willingness to help, professionalism won me instantly. And I never regret the choice I made.
Sybl showed me how to “handle” my dog, how to work as a team, and how to lead a dog.
As a result: my dog is very well behaved, especially in public settings, such as restaurants, airports, airplanes, museums, sports tournaments (yes!), and she knows exactly the difference between the time when she is on the “job”, and when she is at home and having a free time.
She is: obedient, not reacting to other dog's distractions/barking/attacking, very patient, great with the recall and off-leash walks. My dog always gets a lot of compliments on her excellent behavior and how she is great with people and little kids.
Again, all of this would not be possible without Sybl! My highest ratings and recommendations to anyone looking for a great, personable, flexible, and professional trainer!

Sybl has provided us with dog training to our now 2-year old tarrier mix, an extremely active breed, since June of 2021, learning basic commands such as sit, place, leave it, learning how to use a pinch collar on walks, using the crate, and most recently, how to behave in our new home with our 1-year old daughter. She is a great communicator, teacher and extremely friendly. Highly recommended to any dog owner in San Jose and beyond.

We reached out to Sybl to help us get started with obedience training and leash walking for our 4-month-old Hovawart, Cova. As first-time dog owners, we were overwhelmed in the initial weeks with Cova, struggling to understand his behavior, mannerisms, and what training methods would work best for him. And Sybl was great in helping us get better at all of them.

She is very knowledgeable and taught us several ways how to reach and understand Cova. Her training methods were very easy to follow and as we use them, we are seeing great progress with Cova with each passing day.

Thank you so much Sybl for getting us and Cova on the path that would set us up for success in our Dog training journey. We highly recommend Sybl to anyone looking for a personalized training experience for their K9s :). She is simply awesome.
