Winking for the camera
"Ronit is excellent. She brings a different talent to dog training.
My dog knew immediately that she was the pack leader and that's what she taught me. And it works. Have used other very good trainers but Ronit brought something no one else did. I highly recommend her." David F. Carpinteria, CA May 2021 "You are a miracle worker♡"
(Marley was impossible to walk, jumping in the air, biting the leash, and grabbing peoples' arms with his front legs.)
"First of all, thanks to your amazing techniques, Marley is doing great. His house manners greatly improved. He stayed on his rug while we made dinner and we ate at the table. He has been so calm and he responds to every correction. I actually took him on 3 walks today! You are a miracle worker♡ Gratefully yours." Janet B., Goleta, CA Jan 2020 "I’m not sure what kind of a trance you put on my dogs, but it’s still working"
"What a great day! I’m not sure what kind of a trance you put on my dogs, but it’s still working 👍
Our exercise time and dinner prep was great. The dogs calmly just laid on the living room floor and the kitchen floor. So calm. We cannot wait to walk them again tomorrow morning and hopefully feel the same calm balance. Thank you for everything!" Laurie C., Santa Ynez, CA March 2020 |
"Ronit proved it was the best money we could have spent."
"Ronit was very helpful with getting our golden retriever Joey on the right track with our training protocols. As first dog owners we did not know a lot when getting started and she really gave us great instruction on the proper way to get Joey behaving how we wanted.
Ronit was always available for any questions or concerns outside of our paid class time and was open and honest with us at all times.
We were skeptical on paying for a one-on-one trainer and Ronit proved it was the best money we could have spent. We feel much more prepared to move forward with our pup and her advice will continue to help us keep him well trained for his lifetime.
I highly recommend Ronit to anyone looking to get their dog behaving to make your and your pup's life better. Thanks Ronit !!"

"It absolutely amazes my parents and I how she can change Cooper around in a matter of an hour."
"We rescued a cute little dog named Cooper in December. As with many rescue dogs you never know what you are going to get. Since we've had Ronit as our dog trainer, Cooper has completely turned into a different dog. We have had four training lessons with her and Cooper has learned so much. It absolutely amazes my parents and I how she can change Cooper around in a matter of an hour.
She is the best, most personable, friendly, reliable, caring and professional dog trainer! I highly recommend her to anyone that needs any sort of dog training. If she can train Cooper she can train anyone.
We are so lucky to have her and thank you so much Ronit"

"Ronit was such a pleasure to work with that we're a little sad our dog didn't have more issues so that we could work with her longer!!!"
"We contacted Ronit for help when our six year old Shih-tzu started marking inside the house. I was a little reluctant to work with a trainer, as I was concerned that it would "crush the spirit" of our super happy and energetic little boy.
I could not have been more wrong. Ronit has such a calming and positive energy and really understood that we consider our dog a family member. She was able to provide us with simple, effective tips to give our little guy the structure that he was apparently craving.
After only two sessions with her, our dog was walking calmly on a leash (and not trying to lead or pull), coming when called, no longer jumping on guests who came to our door, and sitting on his mat (until released) while we have meals, instead of begging at our feet. Most importantly though, the peeing stopped!

"She is such a wonderful, gentle trainer."
"I can't believe what a difference just one training session with Ronit made for our Boxer puppy. He would not walk on a leash at all, after that session he is happy to do it.
Today, at our second session, she had him getting in and out of the car like a pro - and we'd had to pick him up and push him out. Just amazing.
Even more amazing was the 15 minutes she spent with us and our 10 year old dog who has anxiety. We'd done training with him for months when he was a year old with no results. In the 15 minutes she had his anxiety lowered enough that he let her touch him, which never happens.
She is such a wonderful, gentle trainer." Pamme W., Santa Barbara, CA Dec 2020

"Ronit is very knowledgeable and easy to get along with"

"I really enjoyed working with Ronit. I find her very knowledgeable and easy to get along with.
She taught me many ways to help guide my 3 year old rescue shepherd mix and why each works with the psychology of dogs. I loved learning different ways to instruct and help give my dog confidence by giving him structure and boundaries. I wouldn't hesitate to refer her to a friend or consult with her in the future should I need more help." Lauren B., Santa Barbara, CA December 2020 |
"Ronit is absolutely amazing!"
"Ronit worked wonders for my maltipoo. Not only did my dog bark at neighbors, but he pulled on the leash constantly, and had bad anxiety when I left home.
She taught me how to calm him, and now he doesn't pull on the leash, doesn't bark when someone walks by the house and is doing better when I leave the house. Ronit is absolutely amazing!"

"After 6 years of dealing with pulling and barking dogs on the walks, this was life changing"
"We needed help with 4 of our 5 dogs. We recently adopted a very scared dog and we needed help to make Jack feel more comfortable in his new home. Ronit came to our house and immediately upon entering took charge of some of our poorly behaved dogs. She stopped the barking and jumping.
We put a slip leash on Jack and were ready for a walk. I told Ronit we had a couple of other dogs that pull on the leash and one dog who barks like crazy when he sees another dog. She said let’s take them on the walk too. Ronit suggested using some new tools and immediately the walk dynamic changed. I was in charge. No more pulling or crazy barking. After 6 years of dealing with pulling and barking dogs on the walks this was life changing.
Ronit also showed me how to massage Jack to relax him while he sat in my lap. This was the first time he ever sat in my lap. It was so amazing to watch him relax for the first time.
I was fairly sure once Ronit left, my dogs would go back to their old bad habits but they haven’t. I highly recommended Ronit, she understands dog behavior and will help you find a solution to your problem." Sara B., Lompoc, CA October 2020

"Beatrix is a different dog and you are a true doggie whisperer"
|
"Ronit was amazing! My 4 yrs old husky dog has (HAD) a mind of her own. We recently moved into a new apartment with an open staircase leading up to our door. Beatrix refused to go up the stairs and lived in my car for 3 days.
Ronit came over and after a walk where she trained me and Beatrix, we were standing in front of our stairs... With little effort and constant direction from Ronit, BEATRIX WENT UP THE STAIRS!!! She continues to do so with no trouble at all. THANK YOU RONIT! Beatrix is a different dog and you are a true doggie whisperer." Shawn D., Buellton, CA September 2020 |
"After just that first session I noticed that Kaya's much more calm and collected around skateboards."
|
"I'm really glad we reached out to Ronit for additional training for Kaya. Although Kaya's not aggressive most of the time, she isn't a fan of skateboards.
We had one session with Ronit where she taught us how to train her properly and correct her behavior around skateboards. As well, she taught us some leash/walking skills and calming techniques that we can use whenever Kaya becomes overly stimulated. After just that first session I noticed that Kaya's much more calm and collected around skateboards. Now we use these methods all the time and they've been so helpful! |
Ronit is very professional and also really knows how to train and correct dog behavior. I've recommended her training to friends and family and definitely recommend it to you if you're reading this!"

"OMG! Ronit changed my entire life in the first visit 🙏🏼"

"OMG! Ronit changed my entire life in the first visit 🙏🏼
I adopted 2 puppies (Siblings BOTH born blind). They adapted fine around my house and yard but I was unable to walk them on a leash outside of my house. Obviously they were scared of the world beyond the fence. Now they get to enjoy walks around the neighborhood and I’m sure by fall I’ll be taking them hiking! Ronit also helped with the jumping issues I had with them jumping on my 5 year old or when people came over. I now have calm and happy walking dogs♥️♥️" Jenny B., Ojai, CA September 2020 |
"I loved Ronit's whole approach from the moment
she walked in"
"We had the best experience with Ronit! Our newly adopted dog snapped multiple times at our friends and family and we were worried about her aggression. She was also anxious often, worried when people were walking behind her on walks, and chasing our cat.
Ronit was able to show us how to bring calmness to our dog and also taught us how to communicate with our dog appropriately (which we were not doing). It was awesome! I loved Ronit's whole approach from the moment she walked in our door. Thank you so much, Ronit."

"In one session, Ronit showed us how to get our dog
to behave"
"We thought our dog's barking and aggressiveness towards people was a lost cause and that she was just born this way, until we hired Ronit for a session.
In one session, Ronit showed us how to get our dog to behave; it turns out our dog is actually really sweet but we needed to learn how to handle her. Just today at the pet store, someone complimented us on having a dog that was "so good with people".
Ronit showed us some other helpful tips like acupressure points to help calm her, how much of a treat is the right amount (a lot less than I thought), giving her a "spot", how to "speak" to her. Super helpful; I highly recommend Ronit's services!"
