The company extended into doing boarding with Vincent and his wife opening the Temecula location (before he and Dylan parted ways) . My dog was taken into the program where I paid $2500. I pulled him out early when he was clearly in distress and had scabs all over his neck from the shock collar. See yelp, google, Facebook reviews from othercustiomers and employees experiences.

He has a great business mind and always takes the time to check up on me and see how I am doing. Dylan gave me some great instagram advice and can only imagine how he treats his clients

I would HIGHLY recommend Epic Dog Pros for anyone who is looking for dog training. This will be a lengthy review but they deserve all the praise I am about to give! Anyone who is on the fence about training READ.I have a German Shepherd/American Staffy mix who was very hard to control and reactive towards strangers (men especially) and other dogs. It was limiting where I could take her and who could come over our house because it would cause too much stress or make whatever we were doing not enjoyable.I was recommended to Epic from a very good friend of mine who had a dog training with them. After hours of research and her recommendation, I decided to go with Epic and I could not be happier.Vince came to our house for a consultation with my entire family. He stayed for over 1.5 hours answering every possible question we had about their training methods, their facilities, how she would be treated, EVERY SINGLE QUESTION. He never once made us feel silly or dumb for asking all of our questions. I (like most people) love my dog like she is my child and he was very empathetic of that and reassuring, but also very HONEST and straightforward. River was VERY REACTIVE towards him and within 5 mins of working with her (evaluation purposes) he had her walking around. He was GREAT with her.When he came to pick her up from my home he spoke with my parents for an additional 30 mins answering all of their questions and giving them lots of reassurance. One of our biggest fears was that training would change River's personality. Vince assured us that she would come home the same dog with better manners and he was absolutely RIGHT. We still have our exact same girl but 10X better behaved and she will only get better!Vince had River for 3 weeks and she came home a week ago. In the short time she has been home I can already see an immeasurable difference in her. She listens better, is calmer and more well balanced. Before training I only was able to have semi control over her was with a prong collar, and now I feel in complete control with just her regular collar and her e-collar. About half way through her training I had a few questions/comments/concerns. I addressed them with Vince and within a few hours he quickly addressed what I had to say and reassured me about all of my comments.EDP not only trains the dogs but they also train the owners. Many of River's issues were because of my actions and with the combination of the go-home sessions, the home visits, and the group sessions I feel confident that I will be able to be an effective and knowledgeable owner who will be able to give balance to my dog.Arturo worked with me during my go home session and did our first home visit. He was very effective at giving me directions on how to give commands/appropriately use the e-collar. I felt comfortable to ask him ANY question I had. He was beyond nice and helpful. You can tell he truly LOVES what he does and is very good at it. When he left I felt more confident and educated as an owner.Sending your dog to training is not the magic solution to an ill-behaved dog. When they come home it is still a lot of work and commitment and Vince and his whole team are very honest and up front about the work that it entails. With Epic Dog Pros as part of your team it is completely obtainable!! I feel completed supported by them to ask any question I have or for any type of help I need. I truly feel that that are on my side and apart of a team. I am so grateful to them for helping me give my Baby River a better life, one where she can accompany me anywhere I go! More...

Had a blast with Sam, she’s a great trainer and genuinely had my dog’s best interest in mind. If you have any concerns about training your dog with them: don’t!

I had a real problem child on my hands and my recent adopted boy. He marked all over the house, chewed up about $5K worth of furniture, pulled on the leash & reactive to other dogs. I asked my neighbors on Next Door and had many recommendations for EPIC DOG PROS. I had a consultation with Dylan and decided to move forward. Needless to say, I have a different and very happy dog now! Since he came home from Doggie Camp he has not done any destruction, no marking and his obedience is unbelievable! i couldn't be happier and he is happier! Great choice for anyone! Highly Recommend EPIC DOG PROS! Thanks Dylan and the everyone at the Temecula Dog Rehabilitation Center! More...

Sam has worked with our corgi, Bailey, for two weeks and while Bailey is far from perfect there is an incredible difference in her behavior. She truly has a great handle on her job and really understands how to work with dogs, as well as explain things to people. Sam was very friendly, helpful, and patient with us and we could not be happier with the knowledge we now have to work with Bailey. She made leaps of progress from the two weeks and I can only imagine how much more she will make from constant practice, as well as attending the weekly group training. Dylan did our initial consultation and was incredibly professional and helpful, as was Olivia during the scheduling process. Overall we highly recommend their training, as well as Sam, and we have already told multiple friends about it. More...

Bruno was out of control and very aggressive!Dylan gave us the tools we needed to maintain control of our very energetic, mostly disobedient, and leash pulling Pit Bull! When I called Dylan I was at a bit of a loss and a little discouraged with how little control I could maintain with Bruno. Dylan came faithfully each session and gave us an excellent understanding of how a dog 'thinks' and gave us very concise and workable methods that were completely effective toward ours and Bruno's peace of mind. Before we were afraid to leave the front door open; now we leave it open all the time and I can even go get my laundry without the fear that Bruno will leave the house. Thanks Dylan!! More...

I wish I could give a 10 star review. We have recently re homed a Rottweiler Shepard mix Riley. She was not socialized with people or other dogs and is unpredictable and agressive. After interviewing several trainers we went with Epic Dog Pros. Dylan Blau has done an amazing job with Riley. There are no words of Thanks and gratitude that I can give to the training that has been done.We have two adult children that have come home for the holidays from out of state and with them another dog. We were headed on a course of disaster. It has been anything but. If you have a dog with issues, whatever they are I encourage you to go with Epic Dog Pros it is worth the time and investment in your four legged family member!Thank you Dylan for all the training, quick responses to my HELP text, and coming along side of me and teaching me how to work with Riley.

I am very impressed with the training my dog Rose and I received from Epic Dog Pros. Very professional, knowledgeable and caring group of trainers. Trainer Haley did a wonderful job training Rose, who is a rescue, who had a lot of anxiety. Haley is an exceptional trainer who was not only able to instill confidence and obedience in Rose, but has trained Rose to be a service dog. Not only does Epic Dog Pros train your dog, but they take the time to train the owner as well. The group classes are very helpful as well, and I highly recommend them. Epic Dog Pros was a very positive and rewarding experience for Rose and I, and we really enjoyed having Haley as our trainer. More...

I have been working with Haley from epic dog training with my four month old GSD puppy. I cannot say enough to praise Haley. She is such a talented trainer. Gentle yet very firm, very informative and clear. She not only taught me the skills to train Rosie but why these technics work with consistency and patience. I was looking for a trainer and a training method that could take me to a level of off leash and service dog level obedience. With each lesson I am totally amazed at the level my dog rises to! Haley has not only taught me the skills and methods to achieve these remarkable changes in my dog but helped me understand why consistency with these methods work. I was able to explain what my goal was with my dog and Haley has the knowledge and dedication to get me there! Rosie has been ALL IN program for three weeks and I am constantly stopped by strangers commenting on her obedience skills. With Epic Dog Training ALL IN, I continue training in group classes, pack walks, and access to Haley expertise to help with any behavioral issues or problems that may come up in the future. Haley will come back and help me work her through any issues she has. You can’t get a better plan. I know Haley’s training will enhance my relationship with Rosie and she will be a source of love and pride her entire life. More...

Had a experience I can't explain. Let me give you the short story. Wife 3 kids (6,9,13) kind of a full house new pup to add to the family got her for Christmas last year. Every thing was great for the first few months until the chewing trlurned from toy to my baseboards and shoes. We had a pretty traumatic experience when Bailey got loose of the leash, living near a main road playing chase with her was not my idea of a good time. We hired a dog trainer paid for the sessions he suggested and saw a difference but it was a difference with him not for us. Long story short we finished our sessions and were left with a dog that listened to the trainer and not us very well. We found the Epic Dog Pros at a local pet show and were amazed by their presentation we went and googled them and seen they are all over the place training. We got the demo they offer and were amazed again they worked our dog on our issues right in front of us and got us to be able to do it as well. Needles to say we signed up and not looked back nothing but the best life to love in front of us. Thanks Epic for all you did for us our first group class was mind blowing see you at the next one. For anyone reading this thinking about using them I promise you won't be disappointed. More...

We have a 11 month old Euro Doberman and used another local training academy that was “just ok” but would not follow up for further training I wanted. I can across Epic at a pet expo and have been impressed since the 1st call. They came out and gave a free demo with their dog as well as ours. Training 5 days a week at my place of choosing, plus unlimited bonus group classes on Saturday at no extra cost and group walks on Sunday. I can’t believe the results in just three weeks. All the training in transferable to my wife and kids. Distance recall, off leash training, service dog training. I manage a nationwide investigation firm and appreciate their entire staffs professionalism and dedication. Their willingness to take it beyond basic skills and results are in fact Epic and I have since put my reputation on the line and referred several. You will not being disappointed. More...

Their name says it all...EPIC! They offer so many different types of training and activity's for your dog, it's almost impossible for your dog to fail ( but remember you have to put the work in to). What's really great is they include a year of group classes, pack walks, and behavioral insurance and much more!

Dylan is a passionate trainer who is excited to work with his clients every day. He not only trains the dog, he trains the owner too! Epic Dog Pros DO NOT tell their clients to pretend their dogs are service dogs (like previous reviewer who doesn’t even live in CA claims). They teach you how to control your dog in public where dogs are welcome. We didn’t enter any stores where dogs were not welcome and the trainers wouldn’t take dogs inside places if it was inappropriate. Overall, my dog has gone from a ball of anxiety to a relaxed dog. Her barking has significantly gone down and she is now more comfortable meeting other dogs on our daily walks. We started seeing drastic improvement in the first week of training. If you truly love your dog, get it the training it needs and deserves. And meet other dog owners at the group classes and pack walks all throughout the year! More...

We've been through several other training programs like click and treat but have never really been happy with the results. Our Golden is smart but stubborn and was still pulling on walks or when she was excited to see other dogs. While click and treat worked great at first to get her to learn basic commands and tricks, it became useless in high distraction situations like meeting other dogs on walks or new people coming into the house. Dylan at Epic Dog Pros worked with her and then us with her and now she is much more well behaved. She's more relaxed now and better understands what is expected of her. More...

Thanks Vince for everything you have done to help me and my pup. Once she was aggressive and now I fear nothing I am able to take here along with me through all my life's journeys thanks to the great amount of effort Vince and the Epic Dog Pros have put in. I was a little hesitant my self due to a bad experience I had with another trainer but Vince had my back all the way through just as he promised. I really feel apart of the Epic Dog Pros community had a great experience last week at my first group class if i could give you 100 stars i would worth every penny and then some protect the financial and emotional investment get your dog trained by the Epic Dog Pros More...

This man doesn't care about his clients. He is encouraging his clients to buy service dog vests online so that they can take their dogs into public establishments with their aggressive dogs.
In the state of California misrepresenting your dog as a service animal comes with a fine of UP TO $1,000 and/or JAIL TIME UP TO 6 MONTHS. If he really cared about his clients he would NOT be recommending something that could get them fined, jailed, or if their aggressive dogs attack a Legitimate SERVICE DOG TEAM, sued.
He only cares about himself and his brand but not his clientele and what could happen to them. Find a different trainer, one who actually cares about his people.
