Ma & Paw Kennel

“Simply the best!”

“You have to do something about making people wait so long. It's great that you ensure each dog lears, and all will understand that some dogs require more time. Great that you give those dogs more time. But people are busy and sitting around for 80 minutes after one's appointment time is not ok. Suggestion is to space reservation times further apart as the day wears on. For example, one appointment every 10 minutes the first two hours, every 15 the second two hours, and so on. You are great, wonderful people at Ma and Pa Kennel, but you are delivering a very frustrating experience.”

“As you may recall, this was a refresher for my yellow lab, Ruby. She was bitten within 2 weeks of her first aversion class. She definitely seemed to understand better this time. Hoping no more snakebite for any of our critters.”

“My first experience was with rattlesnake training. Was impressed by dogs response. Second experience was private training to teach Australian Shepherd not to heard cats. Great success. They are now all friends”

“Good people, great trainers.”

“People are looking to have a class in SLO! Looking forward to posting those dates. Alicia”

“Professional & friendly people- excellent techniques. First class operation!”

“For the past three years, my pack has attended Rattlesnake Aversion Training. After the first year we were so impressed that our Rescue Group sponsored an event for our members; also open to any community member. Had a great turnout and the training was run in an efficient but thorough fashion. Gina and her Team definitely know their training, the live snakes are handled humanely and safely, and the dogs LEARN this skill. My oldest subsequently ALERTED when out on a hike with a group--saving all of us from a potentially dangerous encounter as the snake was in dappled shade across a trail & very hard to see.”

“A great service. We don't need rattlesnake avoidance here in Las Vegas but I refer all I know in CA. How about a scorpion avoidance. That we have.”

“Am planning to bring Scout back for a refresher course as soon as you have a class in the Buellton area. Thanks!”

“I've taken my dogs to the snake training for years, every year i am so happy with the real life experiences my dogs receive. Trully life saving. Thank you to all that help keep my loved pets safe. Cynthia Giannico”

“I was extremely impressed with the way the school was conducted - very thorough and professional. Would highly recommend this school to anyone who has a dog who enjoys the outdoors.”

“We only use you guys once a year for the RAT program. It is very well set up, my boy absolutely avoids snakes, and I couldn't be happier”

“Took my dog, Gabi, to a rattlesnake avoidance session with Ma & Paw Kennels. Had a great experience! The staff was really friendly and I liked how they do the training in a natural setting more like you would encounter out on a trail during a hike. If they have another training session near us, I will be taking Gabi back for a refresher course. Thank you Ma and Paw Kennels!”

“Individualized session with my dog and me. Experts in dog behavior and personalities. Experts on rattlesnakes. We felt safe and confident.”

“Our dogs received individual time and attention. We feel that they are much safer when it comes to rattlesnake avoidance now.”

“Gina and her staff are great with the dogs. My dogs have so much playing with the other dogs and it's nice to be able to see them on the videos that get posted.”

“Gina and her associates are wonderful and knowledgable resources!”

“Highly recommend boarding your pets in an open and friendly atmosphere. Gina is great!”

“Fantastic training. Well planned and extremely thorough. Please let me know when you come to Ojai! Lucinda Muchie”
