Made some good decisions lately. First, we decided to get our dream dog, a Boxer puppy. With that…read moredecision came lots of necessary training. That is where Polite Pooches comes in. We went to watch a graduating class of pups/dogs and were very impressed with what they learned in a short time. So much so that we signed up for individual classes with Willow so we could concentrate on areas that needed improvement as a result of us training her. Kathy at Polite Pooches knew so much about dogs and training and made the class fun. We will continue with Kathy so that our dream dog continues to grow into a good citizen. Be kind to your dog. Give him/her the gift of professional training like we are doing.

She sends out emails with video links after every class and gives handouts at the end of class so you have multiple forms of information/instruction.

I wasted over $1,000 to unknowingly abuse my dog through Off Leash K9. I sought help because my dog…read morewas reactive toward other dogs, loud vehicles, and people. I was desperate to help my dog and myself and Off Leash K9 had good reviews. What these folks didn't tell me was that my dog's reactivity, what I thought was outright aggression, was actually fear - that she was scared of all of these things and trying to protect herself from them. So with the use of the e-collar (really just a shock collar let's be honest), I punished her every time she showed a fear response at Off Leash K-9's direction. This definitely changed her behavior, but rather than helping her feel more comfortable with the things that scared her, we instead punished her for being afraid and taught her to hide her fear responses. I wish I had looked at the science behind dog behavior, because I now know research shows that punishment through things like e-collars, buzz collars, spray bottles, etc. are incredibly counterproductive to changing dog behavior long term and they seriously traumatize the dog. I'm so very grateful to have met a Fear Free trainer who taught me about positive reinforcement. It has improved my relationship with my dog immensely and it has ultimately lead to the sustained behavior change I was looking for. Please do not waste your money on abusive, ignorant training through Off Leash K9.

We have had very positive experiences having our doggo Bruno go to daycare and board here…read more He has even been groomed during his boarding stays. They kindly do it at the end of his stay so he comes home fresh. This past week, because our dog can display problematic behaviors, the yard attendant who was with Bruno most of the day came out to talk with me. She was an older lady, so very kind and described his behaviors, and gave him breaks when he was unable to be recorrected, instead of calling us and making me worry. I appreciate their problem solving and patience with our dog.

Update after he stayed there all weekend…read more We couldn't be happier with Bourbon's boarding experience! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. He got to play with sprinklers, enjoy one-on-one time with staff, cuddle during story time, and even have chicken and rice for dinner -- talk about VIP treatment! The staff did a wonderful job managing his energy, giving him time-outs when needed, and making sure he felt safe and loved the entire time. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. We're so grateful for the love and structure they gave him. Can't recommend them enough! -- Lindsey, proud pup parent of Bourbon
