I left my 5 month old Golden Retriever in Gina's care this past weekend, and the agreement was for boarding only. I found her to be initially very no-nonsense, to the point of being rude, but I brushed it off as her being direct. I noticed the other dogs in her care wearing e-collars and prong collars, but since we weren't there for training, I foolishly didn't ask about them, or mention that I wasn't aligned to using either on my puppy. When I picked him up on Sunday afternoon, rather than tell me how my dog did, she immediately and aggressively criticized me for spoiling him. When I awkwardly laughed, she accused me of thinking it was funny. I said I do not think its funny, but it is hot, I am tired, and I want to get my dog and go home. I never got any updates or pictures over the entire weekend, and I wasn't comfortable being berated by this person. I never even understood what he did the entire time, because she was so focused on telling me to get him in group classes and training immediately. Keep in mind, the behavior he was displaying: jumping, not walking, being excited - this is all very consistent with puppy behavior for his age. She then tried to give me another dog's bedding, and when I corrected her and went to the pen that she originally assigned him to get his bed and blanket, she admitted that he was sleeping in a different area. I specifically asked that he not be crated, and now I do not know if he was or not. When we got home, not only was he skittish and anxious, when I bathed him, I noticed multiple cuts and bruising all over the front of his throat. He flinched whenever I went to pet his head. I called Gina immediately, and when she called me the next day, she told me she had used a prong collar "because he wasn't walking properly". This is a 5 month old puppy, who had never been boarded, not to mention it was near 100 degrees on her ranch. I'm not surprised my dog wouldn't walk for her. She apologized and offered to pay for his vet visit, or drive him to the vet (did she forget that I live in Orange County?) and I said I didn't want her money. I have no issue with prong collars, when they are used correctly on a dog that is being trained and the owner is informed. I never agreed to this treatment, and have spent the last two days continuing to comfort my dog who now will barely leave my side. I learned my lesson to ask more questions moving forward, but wouldn't risk further injury to my dog by ever leaving him in Gina's care again.

My Aussie’s had the best time staying with Gina and all of their dog friends at Canine Solutions. They were all smiles and tuckered out when I got home! Thanks Gina!

Gina is an absolute miracle worker!!! I cannot believe the amount of effort she put into our puppy. We had tried several other trainers with an immense lack of success. We decided to send our puppy to bootcamp with Gina. We have had our dog home for a while now and she still has the best behavior. I highly recommend Canine Solutions for anyone that needs a puppy trained or is struggling with behavior issues and boundaries with their dog. Gina not only trains dogs but teaches the owner how to continue training and maintain boundaries at home. Our dog is so much happier and we are a much happier family because of Gina. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Gina! Also, thank you to Lindsey for working with our puppy so much as well!!!

Gina is the real deal - my mini bernedoodle (Callie) went in a very sweet but totally out of control puppy (16 weeks old) and came back home even sweeter, but obedient & (I think) happier for it, because she now understands she isn’t in charge.

We Brought our CRAZY boy Zak to Gunner for the 7 day board and train. Here is a little background on Zak, he was a rescue that had A LOT of energy and being that we worked a lot we never got him on a good training regiment. Fast forward to a year later we found out that we have a baby on the way and that is when we decided to seek out help. We did this so that we can make sure that we have a well behaved dog when our son arrives. I have to say Gunner from day one was nothing but amazing and had so much knowledge to give us. Throughout the 7 days we received daily updates via video and photo of our Zak's progress. It is unbelievable the transformation we have witnessed, Zak has been home now for 2 days and he is a completely different dog, because Gunner was so informative to us and giving us best practices throughout the process it made the turnover seamless and Zak is completely receptive to our commands( which i was worried that once Gunner left he wouldn't listen to us) We cant Thank you enough Gunner for taking care of our boy and showing him his true potential, He is a happier dog and we feel like he has gained a purpose and that is to please us and be a good boy! we highly recommenced Gunner as he is the best!

Gina is amazing!! Our dogs love spending time with her. It's really the only place I feel comfortable leaving our pups. They have plenty of room to run, a little dipping pool, new adventures and always meet other sweet 4 legged friends.

I highly recommend Canine Solutions. Gina is amazing! Not only an amazing trainer but just an awesome person as well. Our 9 month old puppy was super energetic and didn't listen to a thing we said. We were pretty desperate when we brought her to Gina. After 3 weeks we picked up our puppy and felt like we picked up a whole new puppy. She stopped pulling the leash on walks, she listened to all the commands we gave her, stopped jumping, chewing, is great when strangers approach and kids. If you are looking for dog obedience training Gina is the person to go to.

Super happy with Canine Solutions! Being new to the area we were not sure where to kennel our dog for the weekend. Saw that Gina at Canine Solutions has great reviews! Gave Gina a call and scheduled our pup's visit. He was well taken care of and I almost thought he wanted to leave home and stay there! He played with other dogs and came home happy and tired! Will always recommend Gina's Canine Solutions! Check her web: ginaspuppycamp.com

I called yesterday to get a assessment done for my two dogs but a return phone call never happened from the owner. When a company doesn't call me back, I need to leave a review just for others customers to be aware. Found someone else to watch our dogs.

Our Shiba Inu, Elphie, spent last week with Gina while we were on vacation and had a great time. This was the first time we left her and felt like it was a good experience. Gina was so easy to work with and took great care of our puppy. She came home tired from all the playtime with the other dogs, which she just loves. I would definitely recommend Gina to care for our pup again. The cost was reasonable as well. Thank you!!!

I was at the end of my rope with my spirited 16-week old Golden Retriever. I named her Honey but quickly added badger to the end of her name. Gina watched HB for 4 days. Two days in a mini-puppy camp and 2 days she was boarded. I cannot believe the transformation! The biggest issues were her biting my arm when she played and her jumping. Gina took care of those issues. It has been 3 days and she doesn't bite anymore.. she starts to and then thinks better of it. Gina gave me guidance on how to correct the behaviors. She is much more grounded and responds to "sit" and "down" The property is huge and I love that Honey can run and be a dog! I am taking her back for the longer puppy camp and look forward to her learning. Thank you Gina!!!
