I had a great experience with Curated Canines Dog Training! My dog struggled with reactivity and boundary awareness, especially on walks and when meeting new people or dogs. After working with them, Ive seen a big improvement in his confidence and ability to stay calm in situations that used to be overwhelming. The training was also realistic to maintain at home. Highly recommend!

We worked with Kylah for our anxious pup that we found abandoned in a parking lot in LA. Kylah helped give us tools to work through her intense anxiety and a year later we have a very different, much more confident pup! We have friends comment all the time on how much theyve seen our dog grow in this past year and we are so thankful for Kylahs board and train strong foundations and the ways she supported us through our in home training sessions to reinforce everything she did. Could not recommend more for an anxious pup!

I cannot recommend Kylah at Curated Canines Dog Training enough! She has been with my dog Maui from the very beginning starting with basic puppy training, moving through e-collar training, and tackling behavioral work along the way. No matter the challenge, Kylah always knew exactly what she was doing and approached every session with confidence, patience, and genuine care.Maui absolutely adores her, which says everything and is a testament to how she builds real trust with the animals she works with.My biggest gripe is that Kylah isnt still in Colorado I would bring my second dog to her in a heartbeat. If youre lucky enough to be in San Diego and have access to her, dont hesitate. She is the real deal and truly one of a kind.

I have only the best things to say about my experience with Curated Canines and working with Meredith!I have a 3 year old border collie with reactivity and agression like behaviors which manisfted after he was attacked as a puppy and worsened over time. I was desperate to help him and was seeking not only to correct the behavior but to help him regain his confidence. My FAVORITE part is that their method is to understand why and how together we can address the behavior and triggers vs the 99% of other trainers I consulted with relying 100% on "just buzz him everytime". This method only masks and does not address the underlying issue. I learned a lot more about his breed and how his past trauma combined with his breed can contribute to his behaviors.After a 1:1 consultation, we agreed on 3-5 private lessons. By the 1st lesson, we were already seeing results. By the 2nd lesson, he was able to be in "place" position while large dogs walked and sat 3 feet away. This was absolutely mind blowing for me. By the 3rd lesson, we are able to walk past bikes, dogs, strangers, and cross the crosswalk without an issue. He went from having his tail tucked and walking hunched down to a now more confident posture.I greatly appreciate the real life scenarios and triggers Meredith presented for us to practice and learn along with Kylah and the other dogs. Meredith assured me we would be ok and that he would trust me to protect him. We see this already after just 3 sessions!Ah, I can't be more grateful to Meredith for helping me be a better mom, for helping me understand him better and for helping him regain his confidence. Like she said, he was just misunderstood. I highly recommend Curated Canines! A MILLION THANKS!!!!

I cant say enough great things about Curated Canines Dog Training San Diego! I sent my chihuahua Luna for a board and train, and it was truly one of the best decisions Ive made for her.From the start, her trainer Kylah was attentive, communicative, and genuinely considerate of my concerns. She took the time to understand Lunas personality and put together a training plan that felt tailored specifically to her. The home environment where Luna stayed was warm and comfortable, which gave me so much peace of mind.The results have been incredible. I feel like I have a new relationship with my dog, one built on trust and clear communication. If youre on the fence about board and train, look no further. Thank you, Kylah and Curated Canines!
