Testimonials
Taking my dog to Yvette was the BEST investment I could have ever made. My dog was extremely anxious and would constantly eat anything on my countertops! Yvette helped to tame his anxiety and train him properly. Not only does Yvette dedicate so much of herself to the dogs, but she also dedicates her time to her customers. She will always reach out and check in to see how my dog is doing and help me with any questions I may have. Yvette is insanely genuine, thoughtful, and hard working. I wouldn’t trust leaving my dog with anyone else. I am constantly getting compliments on how obedient my dog is. I am so beyond appreciative of her and her training. I HIGHLY recommend you send your dog to her as well!

After trying different trainers and training methods that were a complete waste of time and money we decided to bring our unruly two year old mini-poodle (Oliver) to Yvette. Trusting someone to take our dog into their home for training was a difficult decision as Oliver is our baby but Yvette made it easy by always making herself available by phone and sending us follow ups on Oliver’s progress. Yvette has worked very hard with not just Oliver but with my husband and I as well. We have learned so much from her about our dog’s behavior and how to make him a calm and happy little guy. His anxiety has significantly decreased and it shows at home and in public. People often compliment his behavior. Oliver has learned to share his toys and bones and most important, he now listens to his parent’s commands.

About the Trainer
StayPlayNTrain is a dog training business led by Yvette, who provides personalized dog training services including board and train programs, in-home support, and ongoing client guidance. Yvette specializes in behavior modification for anxious, reactive, and high-energy dogs, helping owners transform their pets into calm, obedient companions. Dogs are trained in her facility and often stay for extended periods of 4 to 6 weeks, during which they receive intensive training and socialization. Yvette actively involves owners in the process, offering regular phone updates, follow-ups, and home coaching to ensure long-term success. In addition to training, the business offers dog walking, pet grooming, and dog park access. Clients consistently praise her genuine care, dedication, and ability to produce dramatic behavioral improvements in dogs of all breeds and ages, including pit bulls, mini-poodles, and anxious rescues.
Yvette’s approach combines hands-on training with strong client education, helping owners understand their dog’s behavior and adjust their own habits. Her clients report significant reductions in separation anxiety, resource guarding, barking, and leash reactivity, with many dogs gaining off-leash reliability and improved public manners. The business is trusted by owners who have tried other trainers without success, and many return for periodic refresher boarding sessions.
The facility supports a cage-less, home-like environment where dogs are treated as part of the family, and Yvette is described by clients as a “mother” to the dogs in her care.
