Casey K and all the staff at Instinct are so professional, knowledgeable, and treated my puppy as if she was a part of their family! I left my puppy Bean with Casey for two weeks as a part of their puppy raising program, and I recommend it so highly to anyone looking to get their puppy on the right start. I would have been lost without their training and expertise honestly! We will definitely be back to board and train again for our little girl!

Instinct Dog Behavior and Training provided an exceptional experience for both my dog Ginger and me. Facing Ginger's separation anxiety last summer after moving to a new apartment was distressing.

Her compassionate guidance helped us manage Ginger's anxiety and strengthened our bond. I didn't think that in just 6 months things would be better but in just this amount of time, w... read more

Instinct has been truly amazing for my pup Hendricks and me! For background, Hendricks is a 1 year old rescue. When I first adopted him in August 2023, he was high energy, very reactive towards other dogs, sensitive to loud noises and would react with very loud barks, and just in general had a hard time settling down.

I st... read more

When we started we could barely go outside without Winnie reacting to something and it being really stressful for both of us. Jessica gave us both tools and confidence to move through the world together. 2 years later and Winnie is doing things I never thought imaginable for her. Going on hikes, taking vacations, running on the beach, happily meeting new people and dogs! Of course it’s still something... read more

I have a 3 year old Maltese that I brought to Instinct about 6 months after I got him. He did 2 weeks of the Board and Train program with Oyuki and the progress made in 2 weeks was phenomenal. She worked with him on his reactivity and instead of taking 2-3 minutes to recover after seeing another dog, it now takes 30 seconds or less. Oyuki was also really great in providing me with resources to continue his training after those 2 weeks and the at-home training sessions really helped to bridge the gap between camp and home.
