Workindoggz - Hayward, California

Laura Amador

Training with Ria set us up for a wonderful relationship with our shelter puppy, Heidi. As a first time dog owner, plus with a large breed 5 month old puppy, I lacked self-confidence. Ria was great with Heidi of course but even better with me, training me on how to train Heidi and patiently answering all of my many questions. I highly recommend her! Everyone at Workindoggz has been really nice, too, especially the owner, who gave us detailed recommendations on dog friendly trails. Plus the grooming service being right there is really handy. This is a great place in downtown Hayward, I'm thankful it's here.

Ria is an excellent dog trainer, actually people trainer. She trains you, to train your dog. If you do the homework assignments she gives you, your dog's training is accelerated. She guides you how to train your pet in a positive, gentle and loving way, with lots of praise and treats, making the process fun for both you and your dog.

It takes time and patience on your part if the dog is going to be successful. Ultimately it's up to you to make it happen. If you don't follow through, it's not going to work. She gives you the key, but you do the driving since you're with the furry one all week and that's where the training is absorbed.
Make it fun. Create a stronger bond and watch your four legged friend grow into a well behaved, wonderfully enjoyable family member.

She's makes herself available by text if you forget something or need more guidance with a training method.
I strongly recommend Ria as your trainer.

Every aspect of Workindoggz has been incredible!

My pup loves the daycare!
The grooming services are the best we have experienced!
Ria is definitely helping me better understand my role as a first time dog owner so much better. I look forward to our behavioral training lessons.

I am so glad I found Workindoggz!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
i’ve been taking my dog to Ria for training since she was a puppy and i’ve noticed nothing but good results and feedback. Ria is a trainer i would highly recommend since she gives great advice, offers different training styles depending on your dog, and is very knowledgeable and skilled in what she does.
i had my dog signed up for the level 1 and 2 obedience training groups which is really helped my dog with proper socialization, especially when she was a puppy. the classes are an hour long which is plenty of time for your dog to learn and usually enough time at the end for all the dogs to play and the pricing is really fair. Ria’s not only helped my dog understand training more but has also helped me understand it better as well, and it has made training so much easier for the both of us.

Workindoggz is a great place to train your dog. My trainer is Ria (highly recommend her) for my puppy. She is very professional and what make her stand out is she not a type of person to strictly follow guidelines or slide shows when it comes to training. She mixes in her twist in to make the experience enjoyable and gives you tools to properly train your dog. I’ve use their service for grooming and daycare as well. Everyone here shows good customer service and takes great care of your dog.This is a great facility and highly recommend bringing your dog here!

Workindoggz has been great with their services for our dog. Special shout out to our trainee, Ria, for her wonderful help with training our adult dog. She has been very easy to work with and has wonderful insight in training our dog. Her transparency with expectations, by both parties, has given us the assurance on how we can train our dog effectively snd efficiently.

I love workindoggz for everything, they really are a one-stop-shop for my pup! I get so many compliments on my standard poodle's hair cut and I owe it all to Vivian. My dog can be nervous at the groomers and they always handle him with such care. It turns out he really likes going to the groomers now because he normally goes to daycare after! I also recently signed him up for some training and hikes. He has so much fun and I always receive the best report cards.

The owners, Cody, Maire, and Joe are incredible too. You can really tell that they care about you and your pup. They have always kept their prices very fair and I really appreciate that they don't charge for all the "extra" stuff as other places do, it's all included!

*TRAINING REVIEW ONLY*
We moved to Hayward January of this year and one of our neighbors recommended Workindoggz after we got our Mini Goldendoodle puppy. We looked them up and saw they provided a lot of services and were close by. We started with their Group Training that included 5 classes for $250. They were 1 hour long each and once a week. Our trainer was Ria and she was hands down amazing! Call her a dog whisperer or something but she helped us so much with obedience training and her little teacher assistant, Corky, joined too to help supervise! Our class only had 2 other dogs including ours so it was perfect and helped the pups not only socialize but also focus. Ria was super accommodating too on some of the weeks we were unable to attend and she would work with us to reschedule.

Sure, you can watch Youtube videos and train at home, but I highly recommend joining a puppy school to help with distractions, learn to play with other puppies, and get lots of tips from the trainer on YOUR training as an owner. There were some things we never noticed unless Ria pointed them out and she was right every single time. If you're in the area, definitely check out Workindoggz - they also have doggy daycare and grooming services (we just booked our first one this Saturday!).
