Loose Pooch Dog Club

"When our dogs were puppies, they both went through training with Nathan. The training gave them both a solid foundation of understanding obedience commands which have proven to be invaluable at times. Our Shepherd requires extensive exercise during the day so as he got bigger we opted for a different day care environment for him. However, Marla still loves going to Loose Pooch to play with some of the friends she grew up with. She does have her dog buddies over there and she is comfortable with the staff. They keep the place very clean and take good care of the dogs. We have never had an issue. Nathan is always professional and great to deal with. Edgar is a gem!"

"We take our young boxer here and are so pleased. We used another very popular place in town, which I have nothing bad to say about, but the dogs there were allowed to be quite rough, and our dog often came home with lots of marks and broken skin. Loose Pooch taught our rambunctious boxer how to behave herself better around other dogs. I think the staff-to-dog ratio is better here. The facility is also air-conditioned, and in the summer that’s a big plus. The staff are wonderful. We ended up doing training with Nathan Woods, and that’s a whole other story - the best dog training we could ever have imagined."

"I am beyond grateful for the incredible staff at the Loose Pooch. Paired with the training by Nathan, I can honestly say our experience was phenomenal from beginning to end. I purchased the VIP package for my 6 month old puppy who was having some slight behavioral problems. By the end of the 8 weeks, my puppy had a new attitude. He was much more happy, attentive, and well behaved. Though the services were more expensive than others in town, they were truly worth every single penny. Nothing can compare to the experience, knowledge, and love Nathan and his staff showed my puppy. Thank you so much Nathan and Loose Pooch you guys are the absolute best!"

"I cannot express strongly enough how awesome Nathan is! My girlfriend and I purchased his VIP training for our puppy Callie and the results were nothing short of astonishing. He is a true professional -both with dogs and dog owners :) The VIP package is reasonably priced for what you get and the end result is a happier dog who will be obedient for life (he has a lifetime training guarantee if you stay in SB). It truly is a lifetime investment in your pup. Not to mention he does the trainings during the week so you get daycare included. My girlfriend and I both work full time and we had been taking our dog to dioji every day and the price per day for the VIP program is almost the same (and he trains your dog)!!! His VIP program is around 3 months long and the final result was an incredibly well behaved dog who comes when called and is an even happier puppy (if that is even possible!). We take her to Hendry's beach and she can be running full sprint 100 ft away and when we call her she will literally turn on a dime. I would highly recommend the VIP training if you have a new puppy or any dog who you want trained. PS Our dog did not have any behavioral issues but Nathan specializes in training any and all dogs."

"I can't thank Nathan and Loose Pooch enough for the past year and a half of my dog Romeo and my relationship. One year ago December my housemate and I adopted a fostered pit/bully mix. He had had several homes and was extremely docile. He just slept. We brought in Nathan as his/our trainer because we had only had labs and shepherds before and Romeo was not responding as they had in the past. Within minutes we saw a different dog. In only a few practice tries Romeo was walking perfectly at a heel and now a year later Romeo is happily walking without a leash and does more tricks than I could have ever thought he could do. We are going to sign up for a more advanced class and keep the momentum. The other side of Loose Pooch is the fantastic day care Romeo gets. He goes to other places too where there is nonstop playing and all of that is good every so often but I found that his anticipation upon seeing other dogs was to rough and tumble every time he interacted. With Loose Pooch the environment is fun and safe but not unlimited and without boundaries. Romeo now understands that play time is play time but down time is important too. Thanks to Nathan and the whole team at Loose Pooch. They have made Romeo the best family member we could have hoped for in just a few short months."
