I think this will take me at least a day or 2 to write because there's just so much genuine good to…read morewrite about this place. We really stumbled upon this place via a home trainer we got who was positive reinforcement only (prior to that we were at hufdmans's - this will be important later). The positive reinforcement trainer though nice.. I felt wasn't equipped to help me train my 2 year old Belgian Malinois. Not very many people have experience training a high drive dog like malinois so that was the reason why I took my girl to Huffman's who specializes in working breed malinois. Anyways, after 8 sessions with Huffmans (who is a balanced trainer) and 2-3 sessions with the positive only trainer I was at a loss for a trainer that could actually help us with our Mal. *quick backstory* we rescued our Mal (Beatrice) from a rescue in Texas when she was 16 months old or so. She was found with 9 puppies who she took such good care of. Apparently she was "sad" after her puppy's were adopted out. She was transported to us from Texas (where perhaps I didn't give her enough time to decompress) and from then she showed a lot of leash reactivity. She was amazing while in the house but was super over the top when we were on walks in the neighborhood. At a loss, I asked our positive only trainer if they did boarding or board and training and he said he didn't but works very closely with a trainer who does. Cue in Merissa. I contact Merissa possibly minutes after, I tell her my situation and she quickly accommodates a meet and greet for us. We were leaving out of the country for 3 weeks so we needed someone we could trust. When I met Merissa I instantly felt at ease her super calm and cool demeanor made me feel safe. However I was still skeptical that anyone would be able to reform my dog. After 8 sessions with huffman's and 2-3 sessions with the other trainer, Beatrice was still pulling and lunging like crazy. This is not due to a lack of practice with me as the owner, I trained and did everything all the trainers told me to do everyday for 1-2 hours a day! So because of this I felt that Beatrice may only get better minimally. At drop off I meet Raine who did my intake. She was very friendly and efficient. Beatrice went to her easily, but I knew Beatrice wasn't reactive to strangers but dogs. After the first 2-3 weeks I was anxious because I didn't see very many updates about Beatrice from instagram or the FB page.. I voiced this concern to Kota the Admin for Paw and Hands and she quickly got me in touch with Charlee, Beatrice's main handler. First off, let me tell you HOW responsive Kota and Charlee are. Beatrice may not have gotten a ton of updates (I'm a helicopter mom, what can I say) but speaking to Kota and Charlee always put me at ease. Both of them were always transparent. Charlee reassured me that all the training I had previously was not for naught. My training with Huffmans made Beatrice a super confident dog but Beatrice had major control issues, she may have been over confident thus creating a know it all. My training with Lucid made Beatrice better at obedience, but on her time. When I told Beatrice to do any commands she knew them all but would take her very precious time getting into that command. After being at P&H her obedience was almost as good as the sport dogs - almost... she's got crappy genes from bad breeding but she's the ABSOLUTE best version of her she can be. At the go home session Charlee went through a ton of information I knew and a ton I didn't know. She told me how she'd be in contact with me and would be calling me in a few days. The fact that these trainers and admin staff are so dedicated to the dogs and the owners speaks absolute volumes. And the funny thing is, upon leaving the facility I left with the impression that Beatrice is (slightly) better but of course there will still be a lot of continued work at home (which I already expected, 2-3 hours of exercise, play and training a day - no problem I've allocated time specifically for this). When I got her home. OH MY GOD. I don't know if it's because it's her first day back but DAMN she's WAYYYY better than I EVER expected. I was FLOORED. She never left her bed stay during dinner, her recall was SECONDS, her heel was... incredible. I honestly felt like I had a sport dog. I'll give an update after Beatrice has settled but if this is how she'll be for the rest of the time at home, this dog is completely reformed. THANK YOU CHARLEE, KOTA and MERISSA... for literally everything, every second you put in Beatrice, all the love and handling, the extra effort to make sure she's her best version of her, THANK YOU.

Been taking my dog here for a while now. We did his dental, and 2 weeks after he developed a lump…read moreby his anus. He also had one on his back. Due to proximity and possible complications from growth, we decided to remove both lumps. Anal incision healed up no issues. Back took a bit longer, opened slightly, at which time i sent pictures to the vet who said to put neosporin on it. It finally healed. Not a week after that, he started going downhill, lethargic, no interest in food or treats or play, so I took him back. OF COURSE, I see a different vet, who examines him and finds his lymph nodes are inflamed, so wants to take a sample to rule out Lymphoma. Will not even discuss the possibility that his back incision could be infected (she said it would be localized at the site..) They take Joe back, take their sample, bring Joe back to the exam room, where we were left for 1.5 hrs, no water, no check on us, nothing, before the vet came back and said she messed up and needs to repeat the test. Same drill again only when they brought him back to the room the 2nd time he was very stressed and wanted out. After another hour, dog becoming more stressed as am I, I decided we would leave. Went out and said we were leaving and I wanted to pay my bill. After some back and forth they finally closed out my bill and I left only for my dog to explode with diarrhea and start puking in the field right outside.(stress) A vet tech or asst walked out as this was happening and I said thanks a lot he is really sick. she ignored me. Vet called on my home to apologize for being insensitive about a very serious diagnosis and the effect of leaving us in the tiny room for 3 hours. Labs were sent in and came back NOT lymphoma thank goodness..but what happens next is the kicker. I get the results left on a VM from the vet who says call me this week with any questions, I am prescribing antibiotics to fight infection. The next morning, the clinic told me she wouldn't be in until friday. The clinic is texting and emailing saying medication is ready for pick up so I email and ask that it be sent to Walmart in Salem, Ronda says sure we can do that. Not 10 minutes later, she calls and says "We will not release this prescription until the balance is paid on your account" #1 I stopped at the desk Monday before I left in anger to pay. I have also spent over 3k in 1 month here, as well as I have a card on file with them. So my sick dog getting his medication was also not as important as them getting their petty balance which they could've had Monday if there was any competence at the front desk when I left my appointment Monday. The message from this place is LOUD and CLEAR. Your pet (FAMILY MEMBER) does not matter here AT ALL. Please take your pet elsewhere. I filed a complaint with OR board of Vet. Medicine for refusing to release his prescription without payment of the account. Can't do that to an established patient (post surgical, by not quite a month, I might add) Unreal. Needless to say I will be finding a new vet to see him through this.
