What Our Clients Say
Puppy Board & Train Client
“I left my Golden Retriever puppy Roxy with Kaajal when she was around 5 months old. I was going away for a vacation, and I didn’t want to leave her at a kennel. I wanted her to learn some new things while I was away. And boy, did she learn new things! Kaajal doesn’t just train your dog, she trains YOU, so you can better train your dog.Before meeting her, I had no idea that dogs needed mental exercise, I just assumed that physical exercise was enough to tire them out. But Kaajal has helped me do tricks and games with Roxy so she’s tuckered out in both aspects. Kaajal will also go above and beyond. I’ve called her in tears before after being frustrated with Roxy (typical teenage hormonal dog behavior), and she’s calmed me down and immediately scheduled sessions to fix the issues. She will also recommend a good wine to drink for when puppy training takes its toll.”

Puppy Board & Train Client
“I cannot offer a strong enough recommendation for D for Dogz Board and Train program! If I could give them 100 stars. The model D for Dogz uses is very smart; the best I have ever seen in a board & train program. I have waited a long time to write this review, because I know that a board and train program can wear off quickly if the people and dogs do not know how to continue the work and make the behaviors real at home, after the program is over. I am happy to report that it has been over 9 months since our graduation from D for Dogz Board and Train, and we are still going strong. I will never forget my first conversation with Kaajal. I was in tears and at my wits end, but she wasn’t thrown off at all. She was kind and helpful, and I was immediately impressed by her responsiveness and her empathy. When we met, I watched with awe as my puppy fell in love at first sight the D for Dogz team. After just a few moments in their presence, I knew that I was in the right place.”

Puppy Day School Client
“We were desperately looking for a professional trainer for our lab puppy who was turning into a rambunctious dog in the summer of 2018. Thankfully we were referred by a good friend to “D for Dogz” and I must say that we are extremely impressed with the outcome. Our puppy is a very well behaved dog now and we get praises from family and friends only because of the hard work put by Kaajal. Kaajal is a highly experienced and certified dog trainer. She is an expert in positive training, does not do leash popping, doesn’t use shock collars, and none of those controversial correctional measures which we didn’t want our pup to go through. She is simply awesome. I was so nervous in many of our sessions but she made me feel at ease and gave me the confidence to work with my dog.”

Board & Train Client
“We were having a lot of difficulty getting Phoenix to sleep in his crate and staying alone for even a few minutes. One of the reasons we chose Kaajal is because her methods are very positive and not in humane such as shocking and scaring your dog into obedience. She is very knowledgeable and straightforward. She has done wonders with Phoenix – he is crate trained and has good recall, and is so much more calmer today at 8 months old. We get plenty of compliments on his behavior whenever we are out with him – all because of Kaajal. Phoenix loves her and whenever we leave him with her, whether it’s for play dates or training sessions, he does very well with her. Kaajal takes her time to get to know you and your pup, after which she will recommend what is the best way to move forward – whether it’s training and/or boarding. She is very flexible and dependable- someone we always turn to for advice”
