Superb experience with DGA and the owner, Malaika. We took our 4-year old dobie for the 10day advanced board and train just to tune up some foundational skills, etc. Not only did they provide an exceptional training experience but they were very accommodating with our pup's food requirements and they also sent us videos or pictures everyday! We plan on using them in the future for their day-treks and further training.

Excellent facility, great people. Our Newfoundland looks forward to going to "school". Couldn't have found a better fit for my dog.

**UPDATE: Aug. 31, 2018: My husband and I wanted to take our dog hiking off leash and we never did it before. So we scheduled a One On One session with Malaika and we met her at a hiking trail with our dog and with a few of hers. After an hour we learned so much! We now can bring Enzo hiking without worrying about him running away! **We are so thrilled! We found Dog Gone Amazing through our breeder who actually lives in California. We have a 90 pound English Lab and we needed some extra help with leash pulling and just some behavior training. We got Enzo into the 10 day board and train and we are so happy we did. Throughout the Board and Train, they texted us photos and updates of how he was doing and we loved that. They have helped us so much!!! The last day of the training, my husband and I went there so they could train us. We still using the training everyday. It has helped us so much. Because Enzo is an only dog, we now take him to their Trek & Train along with boarding him there when we go on vacation. I like how it's a smaller company so we actually know everyone that works there by name and they are all extremely friendly. Thanks to everyone there, Enzo now is a very social and happy boy. When we leave on vacation, I never have to worry because he is in great hands. Attached are some of the photos they have sent me during his Trek & Train excursions. He loves the hiking and playing with the other dogs. We are so happy that we have found them.

Dog Gone Amazing found the best tools and techniques to match each of my dogs and QUICKLY handled problem behaviors and taught them new skills. I now have the coolest relationship with my dogs that I never thoughts possible! We go on hikes and I can let them off leash and have 100% worry-free adventures. I am amazed!

Malaika and her crew are incredible. They have been working with my special needs dog for over a year. He has improved in so many ways. They really care about helping people and dogs. I highly recommend them.

Malaika and all her staff are responsive and fun to be around. They are truly devoted to the dogs in their care and know how to use the right tools for the right jobs. My dog always comes home from day care exhausted and happy, and he's getting better and better in his behavior at home, too. Three cheers for DGA!

We brought our dog (10lb jackapoo) to Dog Gone Amazing for a 7 day board and train visit. The staff was so friendly and the sent us video and picture updates everyday! We could tell that our dog loved it there and the staff. He has been so well behaved since he has been home! So happy with our experience! Thanks Dog Gone Amazing Crew!!

Our dog Bowie loves DGA. We did the training, daycare once a week, and board him too. It is very safe and controlled and they limit the dogs in daycare. We used to have him at another place where although I liked the staff and owner there were just way too many dogs and it was not a controlled environment like DGA. Our dog Bowie loves the DGA treks. When we leave him boarded at DGA we know he is safe. It is pricey but you get what you pay for at DGA. I highly recommend it.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Thank you and the entire DGA staff for running such a stellar facility and taking such great care of Lulu and Django! When Nikki and I were introduced to DGA we were researching daycare and training centers that would maintain a consistent structure while providing diverse day-to-day fun and activities with a knowledgeable and caring staff. Nikki and I found exactly what we were looking for at DGA! The board and train package is a fantastic combo for our “energizer” dogs and gives us piece of mind Lulu and Django are having a fun and active time while being required to maintain manners and discipline. We love the hikes, the social interaction, and the home grown TLC our dogs are exposed to daily.
Thank you all! Josh and Nikki
My puppy Boo has been at DGA since March 2018. She has done a 10 day board and train and now participated in the trek and train. Malaika, Sally, Emma and Lauren are all awesome! Boo has come a long way in a short period of time. I would highly recommend DGA to anyone looking to socialize and train their puppies/dog!

Castro (German Shepherd Dog) and Mmm’s (French Bull Dog) have been going to Dog Gone Amazing since they were pups. They’ve learned all the pertinent lessons; how to be a great dog amongst dogs and how to be a great dog amongst people! Our dogs are our babies and they treat our babies like they would their own. We appreciate all they’ve done to make our babies AMAZING!! Veterinarian approved…honest…I’m writing this 🙂
– Juleanne Crumley
Our pack loves DGA! Training care reinforces their commands and they come home tired and happy every time. When our dogs board at DGA, we feel safe and secure because they care for our dogs as if they were their own. Malaika and her team have helped us create a more harmonious, calm, and safe home with our rescue pack. We can’t thank you enough!
– Mary Dini
DGA has been a life saver! We rescued a two year old shepherd about 10 months ago. We immediately fell in love with him, but he had some pretty big issues we were struggling with. Sarge has done some private lessons, boarding, and the Trek & Train packages. In just a few lessons at DGA we felt like we had such a better understanding of what our dog needed and how to work with him. The facility is always calm and under control. The team is knowledgeable, patient when we ask questions and need help, communicative, and just so great to work with. We love getting videos and updates while Sarge is there. In 8 months we had never seen our dog as happy as he was on his first hike at DGA!! I’m a bit of a worrier by nature, and I can say without hesitation we trust DGA completely… our dog is happy and well taken care of when he is there.
– Stephanie Stratton
We have taken our two labs to Malaika and the Dog Gone Amazing team since they were puppies. Knowing that with two puppies from the same litter we would have our hands full, we did private training and loved every second of it. We have since been going to Dog Gone Amazing for over two and a half years ! We have used Daycare for extra training and amazing hikes. Boarding for long weekends and vacations. We can whole heartedly say we seriously LOVE all the team members of Dog Gone Amazing ! They are always professional, clean and happy! We have a very hectic work schedule and know that beyond a doubt that we would not be able to have pets if it wasn’t for Malaika and the entire team. THANK YOU ALL!

Meet Duke, our socially challenged rescue! With the love and patience and exceptional training provided by Malaika and the staff at Dog Gone Amazing, Duke now has a younger sister, Daisy, and group hikes every week with the group! I am most thankful for the guidance they provided to me that enables me to help Duke be more social. Duke completed the 10 Day Board and Train!
