Client Reviews
Taku
“I could not recommend this place MORE! Jade and Dustin make a dynamic duo in approaching each and every dog’s learning experience with the right level of sensitivity and support. My 5 y/o Shiba Inu has developed his behavioral skills quickly during his time at Night and Day dog training. We are so lucky to have found reliable dog trainers in San Diego!”
Ellie
“Two days after buying our English Bulldog, she fell in our pool and almost drowned. We knew teaching her to swim was a must, so we hired the best! Dustin from Night and Day Dog Training is professional, punctual, and experienced. He gets the job done with results!! We highly highly recommend him. We wouldn’t work with anyone else.”
Waylon
“I highly recommend Dustin if you are looking for a great dog trainer. Our dog, Waylon, was aggressive and very scared of people and dogs when we first bought him to training. By the end of his training, he was best friends with Dustin and his dog. Dustin worked with Waylon to overcome his fears and gain confidence. He also worked with me to help me better understand how to communicate with him and gave me the tools to continue training at home. It was so special to see the close bond they formed. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Dustin at Night and Day Dog Training really goes above and beyond!”
Lincoln
“Night and Day Dog Training is amazing! My dog is reactive towards both people and dogs which is something we have always been trying to work through. We used to have a different trainer but they only taught my dog what to do, it wasn’t really communicated to us on how we need to implement the training as well.
Once I found Dustin and Jade they immediately got to know me and my dog to know what needs to be worked on and offered solutions. They have helped us get through restarting the basics to help address the reactivity and they are always willing to talk things through if you have questions after the fact.
They offer private sessions which are great to really work on what needs to be addressed and they make sure everyone is on the same page and comfortable with the training plan. They also offer at least one free meetup a month for all of their clients to practice training together which has been very beneficial for my dog to be able to work around others in a more controlled environment.
I have seen massive improvement in my dog’s behavior and look forward to working together more in the future to continue the process!”
Maisie
“Highly recommend!! I’ve had so much fun in the first couple months working and learning with Dustin and Jade. They genuinely care about the impact they’re having on the dogs and their handlers. They’re very knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, and always ready to listen to questions and offer guidance. They don’t just tell you what you need to do – they tell you why it’s important and the impact it will have. They explain the psychology behind the training and the drills. They put SO much effort into their clients. The pack walks, meetups, and small group courses they host are definitely a lot of fun too! There’s so much value in working with them – for both you and your dog! My dog is thriving with their leadership, gaining more and more confidence to overcome her reactivity. Truly grateful to have met them!”
Sky
“Dustin and Jade are AMAZING – my Black Tri Aussie is super reactive as in she screams like a banshee when she sees dogs out in public… after our initial session – she was already 100 times better and after attending a few events they have given me SO much to help mitigate her dog anxiety… we have had 2 outings where she didn’t scream once in an environment with multiple dogs… it is literally night and day! They are trainers that actually CARE about the dogs they help… and literally are dog whisperers! Do yourself a favor and book your first session! They are more than affordable – so much so that I feel bad I am not giving them enough! I’ve tried so many other trainers and spent SO much and it only took their tools to make Sky less anxious and able to go out in public!!! I am beyond grateful for them!”
Toby
“About a month ago we hired Night and Day Dog Training to help us with our maltipoo (Toby) who regularly growled at either my wife or I when we approached him. There were a few times he either bit us or came close to biting us! Also, it was always a challenge taking him for walks. He used to stop, sniff around, sit, resist walking, etc. Toby is also a very nervous dog and just about anything startles him. After about a month with Night and Day Dog Training, we have seen amazing changes and improvements: Toby walks with us just fine now, he seldom growls at us, he’s no where near as nervous as he used to be.
We actually sent Toby at a ‘board and train’ (a whole week at Night and Day Dog Training) which we believe is probably why we got such great results. We were initially reluctant to send Toby away for a whole week but, that was the best decision we ever made. We keep employing Night and Day Dog Training on a weekly basis as there is always something we want to correct or, as a good refresher for us.
We highly recommend the ‘board and train’, you’ll be impressed and you won’t be disappointed. The trainers are highly professional, friendly, patient and very much dedicated to improving the behavior of your pet.”
