We knew boarding with Pilla was the best option for Luna as we wanted her to work on a few of her shortcomings in the process while we were away. Let’s just say, we were highly impressed with Luna’s progress when we returned!
We appreciated the continuous conversation with Pilla while we were away of video footage of both work and play and pictures of Luna being extra happy! It completely filled our hearts to see how happy she was in the care of Pilla. The habits she formed while she was with Pilla are habits still today we are so thankful to Pilla for teaching her. We 110% recommend Pilla and will absolutely use her services again!
Pilla is a superb trainer with an extensive knowledge on animal behavior. We reached out to Pilla for help with training the newest member of the family (a 4-month-old labradoodle) and integrating her into our pack of established dogs. Pilla’s methods have done wonders to make our new pup’s transition to the family a peaceful one and to help us maintain control and tranquility in our household when typical puppy behaviors arise. It has made our new girl’s integration into the family a happy one. We are so grateful to Pilla for her wonderful program and sharing this knowledge with us!
My Yorkie had a lot of anxiety and could be REALLY stubborn. I knew she would need some work before we could think about adding a second dog to the family. Pilla has been great at helping us make the adjustments we need to help our dog feel more confident, relaxed, and focused. I’m really glad I found her!
Pilla’s obedience training has done wonders for my newest family member – Campbell (a Boxer with high energy). Campbell came to me as a rescue from the humane society with limited to no prior training. The first week we were able to master potty training with minimal effort. I was absolutely amazed after struggling for weeks prior to starting my training w Pilla. The training provided by Pilla is beneficial for all parties – dog and dog owners. I didn’t realize how careful you need to be in limiting the number of commands to help in the training process. I am still in the process of learning w Pilla, but four session in has been amazing. Thanks Pilla
We contacted Pilla initially because we wanted to work on some behaviours with our 4 year old German Shepherd. Mainly, we were concerned with her dog aggression (plus my parents got a new puppy that they really want her to get along with). She has socialized as a puppy but after what we suspect was a bad experience at a doggie day camp she hasn’t liked other dogs since. We liked that from the moment Pilla entered our home that she was good with Ripley and was able to give immediate tidbits that have gradually improved her behaviors. Due to my husband and I’s schedules it has been slow moving to work her up to other dogs but we hope to continue with Pilla until we help Ripley become a calm and happy dog.
We rescued our second Great Dane, Juno, when she was 8 months old. It was obvious the previous owner had done no obedience work with her, and she struggled to even sit on command. Within minutes of Pilla meeting Juno for our consultation, she was sitting and completely attentive to Pilla and even us. Walking Juno was previously something that I was too afraid to do because of Juno’s strength and excitement around other dogs, and now she doesn’t pull when walking around our neighborhood. The basic obedience course has given us an excellent foundation to build on, and although Juno still has a long way to go we now have the tools and ability to get her to where she needs to be thanks to Pilla. I would recommend her to anyone looking to do basic obedience!
To complete my previous review…Zeus has been continuing to show improvement in his ability to listen to commands while his focus level has developed remarkably from Pilla’s training techniques. Our dane is smart and very will-full, and Pilla knows just how to plug into him to get his gears working. My favorite thing about Pilla is her connection to Zeus and myself. Sometimes I am the one in need of training more than Zeus and she is incredibly polite and direct with her thoughts. She has not only helped me tremendously with Zeus, she has also taught me how I need to take charge of our environment. Whether at home or out on a walk. We still have room for improvement with Zeus but I am ultimately satisfied with her skill level, knowledge, and performance. I am looking forward to her next obedience group class!!!!
Pilla is more knowledgeable than anyone I know when it comes to dogs. She patiently walked me through the process of training my miniature schnauzer. From the training I’ve learned how to train my Pepper along with all of the great things we get trained on every week. Pepper is a quick learner when it comes to rewards. Thanks Pilla. Highly recommend!!
We found Pilla’s Pet Service after we realized that we didn’t know how to handle some of the issues with our sweet dog Zoey. Zoey is a 3 year old Yorkie that we rescued. We quickly learned that training a rescue can be challenging. Pilla has experience with rescues and has tailored our training to deal with specific behaviors. We have worked on potty training issues, basic commands and dog aggression issues. Pilla works with our entire family during training including our 7 year old daughter. Only positive reinforcement is used. We see such a big change in Zoey and are so thankful to Pilla. Our family highly recommends!
Pilla has done a great job with our puppy Preston! Preston is so excited when she comes over and he really loves her. My puppy is very strong willed, but she’s able to handle him easily. Before Pilla, Preston was constantly licking his paws as a nervous habit, and after just one lesson he stopped! Pilla is an excellent dog trainer and I highly recommend her!
Pilla has done a wonderful job at helping us train our new puppy. Watching her with our puppy and how he immediately listened to her cues was pretty amazing. I already see a big difference in our puppy and after 4 sessions he knows how to focus, sit, leave it, come, down, sit stay, down stay for a good 10 seconds, door manners and is much better on the leash. We are still working on the puppy biting but she has given us helpful tips that we will continue using. She has a true gift and intuition in reading and addressing animal behavior and reads things I would have never noticed. She’s very encouraging and keeps the training sessions upbeat and positive. If you have a new puppy or dog, I highly recommend Pilla. You definitely have to practice and do all the homework and you get out of it what you put into it but the money investing in a high quality dog trainer like Pilla is well beyond worth it.
I was reluctant to get a puppy, based on the potty training and all that goes with a new puppy. We did some research on dog trainers, and after speaking to several, we decided to go with Pilla. After the first session it was very clear to me that we made the right choice. Every time Pilla showed up at the house our puppy was so excited to see her, and I cannot believe how quickly we saw results. It has been a few months since we completed the training and I do not think I could have survived it without the training Pilla provided. I highly, highly recommend Pilla.
We have 6 months old Pomeranian puppy. Started our training when she was 4 month old. From the first glance Pepper fell in love with Pilla. She is always so exited to see her. Pilla has very positive way and approach to training. During our training sessions we learned a lot. Would definitely recommend Pilla. Thank you for all your hard work.
Pilla is an excellent dog trainer. I have an English cream golden retriever who was really shy and submissive. Since we began our training, he is a different dog. I love the positive training and how firm yet loving she is with the dog. I am definitely a better pet owner with everything I have learned. I would recommend her reasonable services any day.
I would definitely recommend Pilla’s Pet Services, very reasonable, friendly and super knowledgeable and she trains in your home, I promise, you won’t be disappointed.
After the consultation we signed Ema up for the 6 week Dog Obedience Training. From day one Ema was ready to train with Pilla and I, something that I thought was impossible with her since she was already 1 year old.
Ema would be so excited to see Pilla and was ready to train, conquering all the commands and games Pilla had in store for us. We now take Ema out in public for walks, and she now knows that we are in control and not her. Pilla has mastered the art of dog training and training dog owners . She helps you understand your dog better and how to communicate with your dog. I am proud to say that Ema graduated and she has Mastered Dog Obedience training class.
Pilla has done an incredible job with our Aussie, Nox. She uses only positive training and she is very knowledgeable! It was more about teaching us than our dog and being able to understand exactly what he needs. She always explains things in an easy way to understand and she’s very encouraging. Highly recommend her for all your dog training needs! She’s awesome!
Max and I found Pilla via another site after an exhaustive vetting of 9 other trainers in the area, including 2 Petco’s and 3 Petsmarts. I was looking for someone who had worked with German Shepherds extensively or at least knew the breed well and could help my Max.
Pilla really knows her stuff and she is the kind of trainer you really want; she understands a dog’s behavior and mentality and even cats. She knows how to motivate them to learn. Max; my German Shepherd was full of issues when i got him and because of Pilla and her deep understanding of the breed and dogs in general was able to turn Max around in 6 short weeks. I have a totally different dog now and its because of her and her training methods.
If you need a great trainer, who is kind, caring, thoughtful, patient, insightful, fun to work with and will come to you if needed then you found your trainer!
Pilla is a brilliant, knowledgeable, compassionate, insightful and patient dog trainer. I realized that she is actually a human trainer as she trained me how to understand my dogs’ psychology as well as mine in relation to how I am with my dogs.She trained me how to be a good and responsible pack leader by using her food-based method which is just such a kind way to go about with dog training as it does not involve anything negative to ever happen to Charlie to learn his commands and better doggy behavior. Charlie loved learning for his treats! All the issues that Pilla and I identified in the beginning of the class have been successfully addressed. I am so proud of Charlie and at the same time, impressed with how patiently Pilla worked with me to internalize the training, as well. I thought I knew everything about dog ownership but Pilla educated me anew with such an eye-opening, informative and enlightening six weeks of training. I am so happy to have found her and give Charlie the great start as a family pet along with our other dogs. Thanks for everything, Pilla! You are excellent in what you do. Love and thanks from Charlie, Cosette and Wasabi.
Pilla met my foster dog, Cameron and I at the local park one afternoon to help us walk together more efficiently. She was so very patient with both of us and we came away more confident and Cameron is a joy to walk with.
I would definitely recommend Pilla to anyone wanting to train their pet.
Just a note, she kindly donated her services to the rescue to help make Cameron more adoptable.
Pilla has been an amazing dog trainer for my attention seeking dog Pappu. She has taught me some skills to be able to work with him & train him in a better way. Thank you Pilla!
Pilla has been training my foster dog and I want to tell anyone who needs a trainer that she is great!!! Her positive reinforcement has been a real game changer. I don’t have to yell at my dog anymore for stopping any bad behavior. Pilla was patient and kind with my Skye. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Pilla’s training reminds me of the saying “Where there was once darkness there is now light”. I never thought that I could get Harley to do the things that he could do now! Thanks Pilla!
Pilla was very in tune with the issues of my foster dog’s separation anxiety and honest about what I could expect. Her virtual work with us was smooth, non-stressful, and productive. Pilla is a very kind professional with a big heart. She helped me to see that my foster dog’s unwanted behaviors were out of fear of being left alone.
