“Our Labrador has been in training with Aaron at Bad Pup Club since he was approximately 3 months old. He is now 11 months old and just completed his first round of off leash training, which is a three week program. We are so proud of how far Maximus has come! He is a strong willed and stubborn boy by nature, but even so, we have seen so much progress with his attention span and obedience to general commands.
Thank you Aaron and Elena for empowering us to continue helping our boy be his best self!”

“We completed a four-week board and train program with Aaron and Elena at Bad Pup Club and the results were phenomenal! Our puppy was almost 7 months old at the time of the training and is now almost 11 months old(long overdue review lol). She has transformed in ways we couldn’t have imagined.
From the initial consultation, we felt confident in their approach and Aaron answered all of my questions. The trainers were incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to understand our specific needs and concerns. They provided a clear plan of action and explained the techniques they would be using, including on-leash and off-leash training, as well as e-collar conditioning.
In addition to the 4 week board and train program, my husband and I would go out weekly to private sessions where they would instruct us on everything they had gone over with Millie for the week. These sessions were incredibly helpful in ensuring we were aligned with the training techniques and allowed us to see firsthand the progress our puppy was making.
Throughout the training, the communication was excellent. We received regular updates on our puppy’s progress, including photos and videos, which reassured us that she was in good hands. We could tell even through the videos how much they treated Millie like family.
Our puppy returned home with noticeably better behavior. She’s more obedient, responsive to commands, and calm in high stress environments. The transformation is evident in everyday situations, and it’s clear that the trainers put in a lot of effort and care.
We also received comprehensive follow-up instructions to ensure we could maintain and build on the progress made during the training. Their professionalism and dedication are top-notch.
We HIGHLY recommend Aaron and Elena at Bad Pup Club to anyone looking for high-quality, compassionate, and effective dog training services. Our experience has been exceptional, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! We are eternally grateful for the relationship that they helped build with our best friend.”

“If you’re looking for a dog trainer who is knowledgeable, kind and patient about dogs BadPupsClub Club comes through. Aaron and Elena helped our new pup become the kind of dog I’ve always wanted. He used to run savage in our backyard always looking for something to destroy. He had issues with jumping and nipping, and I couldn’t have him inside the house without him chewing on whatever he could get his paws on. I also have an older min pin who also needed help. They’ve been helping me with him as well and although he’s an old fart he’s already showed improvement with his reactivity and walking him has become a lot more enjoyable. I’m so happy and proud of how far my doggies have come and I couldn’t be more thankful for Aaron and Elena. Thank you guys for taking care of my Chasey boy and showing him all the love he deserves.”

“I recently enrolled my dog, Mugi, at Bad Pup Club, and I can't express how thrilled I am with the transformation. Mugi had a significant issue with fear reactivity, which made our walks and interactions with other dogs quite challenging. However, after completing the training program, he's a completely different dog!
From the first session, the trainers at Bad Pup Club demonstrated their expertise and genuine care for Mugi's progress. They used positive reinforcement techniques that not only addressed his fear but also built his confidence. Mugi, who once cowered and barked at the slightest provocation, now approaches new situations with a calm demeanor and curiosity.
The change in Mugi has been nothing short of miraculous. He’s more relaxed, happier, and much more enjoyable to be around. We can now go for walks without constant anxiety, and he even enjoys meeting new dogs and people. The skills and confidence he gained through the program have made our bond stronger and our daily life so much more enjoyable.
Bad Pup Club didn't just train my dog; they gave us both the tools we needed for a happier, stress-free life. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to make a positive change in their dog's behavior. Thank you, Bad Pup Club, for turning our pup into the best version of himself!”

“I cannot recommend Bad Pup Club enough!! We sent our 1 year old GSP to them because we could not get him to relax around the house or listen to commands when his energy was high. I was so frustrated with him and very close to my breaking point. After just 10 days with them, he came home a different dog. He was so much more calm and confident around the house, able to walk on a leash without ripping our arms off, and he would even listen to his commands in public crowded places!
One of my favorite bonuses is the continued support after the training ends. Elena and Aaron are so kind and checked in to see if everything is going okay after our pup came home. They even host events on the weekends for the dogs they’ve worked with to socialize and get a little extra training!
Thank you so much Aaron and Elena!! We are so grateful for you!!”

“We cannot recommend Bad Pup Club enough! Aaron, Elena, and their incredible team were very instrumental in helping us achieve our training goals with our dog, Daisy Jo. From the very first session, it was clear that they genuinely cared about her progress and well-being.
Aaron and Elena tailored their approach to suit Daisy’s specific needs and temperament. Their expertise, patience, and positive reinforcement techniques made a world of difference. We saw noticeable improvements in her behavior and obedience within just a one session.
The team at Bad Pup Club provided us with valuable insights and practical tips that we could apply at home, which made the training process seamless and enjoyable. Their dedication and passion for what they do shine through in every interaction!
If you're looking for a professional, compassionate, and effective dog training service, look no further than Bad Pup Club. They have truly transformed our relationship with Daisy Jo, and we are forever grateful!
Thank you, Aaron, Elena, and the entire team at Bad Pup Club!”

“One of the best decisions we have made since getting Diesel. Elena and Aaron treated Diesel like one of their own dogs. Their training style is based primarily on consistent and positive reinforcement. We interviewed other board and train facilities, but went with Elena annd Aaron after one meeting. We can’t recommend the “Bad Pup Club” enough!!! Thank you to Elena and Aaron for such a great experience.”

“When I first adopted my Beagle Shepherd, Natasha, she was very stubborn. She’s intelligent, independent, and full of personality—but that also meant her recall was unreliable, and I couldn’t trust her off-leash. As a first-time dog owner, this was frustrating because I always imagined taking my dog everywhere, running together, exploring outdoors, and not being limited by a leash.
That’s when I decided to try Aaron and Elena at Bad Pup Club with their 4-week board and train program. I felt like I was rolling the dice because I had never done anything like this before. Not only did they work wonders with Natasha, but Aaron even extended her stay an extra week (at no additional cost) to really refine her training.
What makes Bad Pup Club different is their approach. They don’t just train your dog—they train you as the owner. Aaron taught me how to continue working with Natasha, gave me training books, and walked me through the same methods he uses so I could keep the consistency going at home. And the support didn’t stop after boarding. Months later, they still checked in to see how Natasha was doing, and when I adopted a second dog (a rebellious Husky mix), Aaron happily re-sent me the training guides and offered advice.
Because of what I learned through them, I was able to train my Husky mix, BigFoot, at home using the same methods. Just recently, I was able to take him outside off leash, and he came back when I called. He’s not quite at Natasha’s level yet (I’m not as experienced as Aaron), but the fact that I’ve gotten this far shows how effective their program is when you put in the work.
The biggest lesson I took away is that dog training is about consistency and routine. Dogs thrive on it, and if your trainer doesn’t teach you how to keep it going, the progress won’t last. Aaron and Elena truly care about the dogs they work with, and it shows in the long-term support they give.
If you’re on the fence like I was, don’t be. Bad Pup Club didn’t just help Natasha—they gave me the skills and confidence to train any dog I bring into my life. If you get another dog in the future you will have the skills to train them as well, and dogs bond with you when you train them, they were bread for that reason for 25,000 years.
Notice in my pictures that my dogs are not wearing a leash and are obediently posing for a picture while there are ducks 10 feet behind them”

“Aaron and Elena have been nothing short of amazing with our dogs. They have worked miracles with our reactive dog and made her more confident with people and surroundings. They have provided help and support when needed and taught us positive ways to help our pup change her feelings about things when she’s scared. They will forever continue to be part of our village of people that help us with our dogs. There are very few people we trust our dogs with. Aaron, Elena and team will always be our “go to” support system for all our current dogs and future dogs.”
