I am so glad my husband and I came across "The Dog Guru" in Sunnyside a few months ago. Our little dog was suffering from separation anxiety - or so I was previously told by my vet when I questioned his protective personality - and was experiencing bouts of anxiety. Raja assessed our situation and began meeting with us weekly to calm our dog down and prepare him to accept a new baby in our family. We immediately witnessed a 180 personality change in our dog after the very first session. When Raja The Dog Guru took our dog's leash from us the the strangest thing happened... Our dog submitted and trusted Raja completely! Now, three months later, our dog is so happy and trusting because of the boundaries and behavioral techniques Raja and his team established with us. For example, when we go outside to walk our dog, we are actually walking him and not the other way around. We say "heel" and he stays by our heels. He actually "sits" and lays "down" when we tell him to do so. Not only are we happier, but I can tell our dog is less stressed and more joyous too. He desperately needed structure and The Dog Guru gave that to us. We still go back from time to time for refreshers in training and we are just so grateful to this facility.

It isn't often you come across people like Raja. He's compassionate and has such a big heart. His entire team is very knowledgeable and eager to help. They're just good people. I highly recommend him to anyone having issues with a dog of any type or size.

Our experience with Raja Shah (The Dog Guru, Inc.) has been life changing. Three years ago, we decided to rescue a larger size dog named DC. Although DC had a positive impact on us and brought much happiness to us, we always found it to be a hassle to walk him or bring him around other dogs because of his high energy level, not to mention his behavior in our house, constantly running around in circles, ruining furniture and breaking things, it was like he had the run of the house.

When we attempted to walk him, He would drag us down the street and go nuts when he spotted any other animal. It was like his excitement took control of him and us. Even through all this, we loved our Dc so much,We decided to adopt another dog. Then fate brought us to Raja! We first met with him to adopt a dog. Sounds simple, but little did we know we in for a surprise! He brought out one of the potential dogs that we might adopt and began showing us some training techniques. I watched him in misbelief and only thought these kind of trained dogs where on TV. So with this, we where intrigued and wanted our dog to behave like one of the dogs from his pack. So Raja made an agreement with us, that if we wanted to adopt a dog from him, the three of us needed to be trained. We agreed to the training; it was a decision that changed our lives.

We ended up adopting an amazing dog from Raja’s pack named Onyx. Now with our new addition to the family, we have the two most awesome dogs, DC and Onyx. Everyone in our neighborhood constantly complements and stops to stare At our dogs great behavior; as we walk these two large dogs through the neighborhood with no leashes! We also turn heads when we’re riding our bikes down the street with onyx and dc running by our side. The people around us are awe struck by their excellence in behavior and good manners. As they also sit when we stop walking or riding our bikes. Everyone always stops us and asks us how can their dogs be trained like that. Now we even take our dogs on vacation with us without worrying about them misbehaving. Don’t get me wrong our dogs are still full of energy, but now that we know how to handle it, it’s no longer a problem. Raja taught us the key to keeping a calm and happy dog, which is through exercise. I never realized how important this was for a dog till now. He taught us to exercise our dogs with runs, bike rides and hikes without having to worry about them just running off on us. Now that our dogs and us have gone through training with Raja the exercise was simple and enjoyable! We could run, bike ride and hike with our dogs, as Dc and Onyx listen to us at every command. It’s amazing what exercise can do for your dog’s behavior! They “heel” when walking, DC on the right and Onyx on the left and with no leashes! They obey the heel command while following one of us on a bike (a great form of exercise). Visitors look forward to seeing our dogs when they come to our home, because they’re not being pummeled by two dogs as soon as they come in the door, people are no longer being begged or nagged by Dc and onyx for food. Dc and Onyx are only allowed on furniture by our command, thanks to Raja we run the house instead of our pets.
Since our experience with the dog guru our life with our pets has been a hundred times more enjoyable! Thanks so much Raja the Dog guru!
