What can I say about Canine Academy except that it earns these 5 stars!…read more I took my aggressive pit Sheba here, years ago, and she went from not being able to even see another dog without throwing a fit... to sitting calmly, off lead, with full attention on my commands, after completing Deb's extensive training course. The woman is a miracle worker. I am a dog person so I am always suggesting Canine Academy for anyone who asks about training for their pups. It's been awhile since I have used their services, but I am thrilled to know they're there and our next dog will absolutely be on the list to graduate from the school!

As a first time dog mom, I was very nervous to bring home a puppy. Having not grown up with dogs, I…read moreknew I wanted guidance on the appropriate way of training, which brought me to researching training programs in the area and landing with Tuff Pup Training. Boy am I glad I found this service! I worked with Matt who was a rockstar at helping my puppy, Archibald go from learning the basic commands into more skilled tricks and behaviors throughout the 6 sessions. Archie very much enjoyed the sessions, always wagging his tail and eager to learn. Matt was always very professional, yet personable/fun. He really seems to have a passion for his job. He taught both my puppy and me a whole lot of valuable information that sets us up on the right foundation from the start together. I am very happy to have invested the time/$$ early on with Tuff Pup Training and would 100% recommend their team to any future dog parents!

Do not take your dogs to this kennel if you truly care about your dogs!!! The rescue I volunteer…read morewith learned the hard way. There is no way to know the level of care the dogs receive while here. Vicki is an older woman who has one staff member who helps in the mornings. This is the second kennel we have dealt with who have the funds and don't hire staff, which can only point to greed. That means Vicki herself is taking caring of her human partner in the home and their 8 animals, as well as the countless dogs being boarded there. Vicki is so up and down mood wise. She's terrible to "work with". She has been over 30 minutes late numerous times when dogs are being picked up or dropped off by rescue volunteers. She made everything difficult for the rescue I volunteer with, almost causing countless volunteers to quit. She makes up rules and regulations as she pleases. She has 3 dogs who were abandoned at the kennel who she won't even allow to find homes, instead they rot in those kennels. She has a Pitbull, shepherd, and senior Chihuahah who were dumped there and live there to this day. She had a rescue at her finger tips who has helped placed other abandoned dogs and yet she would rather these poor dogs suffer in a cage for the rest of their lives. This is not someone who cares about animals. This is someone who cares about money and that's it. The kennels are in bad shape and instead of repairing them, she doesn't. She has her own partner's dog and 2 cats inside the home. She has 2 of her own dogs in the home who live solely on the porch and 1 more who lives in the indoor kennels. These animals are not getting the attention and care when there are at least 20 kennels who often have animals in them. That is around 27 animals being fed by 1 person at night and 27 being fed in the morning by 2 people. Take your dogs to a kennel who truly cares about their dogs, who allow you to see the kennels with your own eyes and who have STAFF. This place needs to be shut down and it's only a matter of time until it happens.

Poor Customer Service and Poor Communication! I expressed my disappointment with how I was handled…read moreand now I MUST PAY CASH to get my Dog when previously I have swiped!!!!!!!!!!!! I dropped off my dog on the 25th of June 2024, Tuesday at 7 pm! Originally I asked if I could drop the dog off on Wednesday at 7 am due to my tight work schedule and the early flight. I was told no and was asked if could I come up with a better time. I asked if I could change it to Tuesday at 9 pm and was told that it was a better time! I did not stick to that time and was able to get my dog over earlier at 7 pm on Tuesday. I dropped off the dog with no problem, I was met outside and asked when I would be back. I said on Sunday I would be back to pick up Ivy. At that time I was not told that Sunday there are limited hours for pick up 5 pm to 7 pm. Fast forward to Sunday! I texted at 11 am in between connecting flights to inform Beech Hill I would be there at about 1 pm. When I landed at PHL I texted again I was on my way. I did not receive a response to either text. I figured maybe they were busy. I called when I arrived, there was no answer ....I texted that I was there and a woman came out walked passed me and asked if was I being helped. I explained I texted and called. I then received a long text about how the hours are 5 pm to 7 pm and have been for 40 years. I asked can you please make an exception because I was traveling for 12 hours. I was told no and was told how I have been giving exceptions in the past. I asked what acceptions. I was then told that I don't seem to accept that Beech flexibility has been done as a courtesy! My question is what exceptions have been made in the past? I was told the Kennel is full it is a Holiday weekend that the dogs are sleeping that Beech Hill will not stir that kennel up and that accepting it would be additional work. I was told that she was the only one there. This was not true there was another woman there that passed by me and asked was I being helped. I said this was the last time Beech Hill would receive my $$$$. I was then told that I must pay cash and they were not accepting cards, I never paid CASH and I asked if it was just me that you are not accepting cards or if is this for everyone. After that it was crickets! If you have limited hours why not tell the person as they drop their dog off (Sunday)? I feel disrespected and not valued as a customer. Why not let me know when I texted earlier on Sunday that I must come between the hours of 5pm to 7pm. Customer service is about the relationship between the customer and the business! The lack of communication disappointments me and how I am being handled! I have never paid cash and I do not walk around with hundreds of dollars! I have in the past swiped and my question is why now? I would love to post the text between us and I know that is not the proper way of handling this! I would love for the owner to reach out to me personally maybe should we like to read the texts!!!!!!!

I didn't think they would be capable of learning much more but I was wrong. They learned many basic commands...sit, stay, they'll drop whatever they have in their mouth when we tell them to "drop it" and so many other skills that are needed in everyday life. They are now pros on a leash but I think one of the really important things they learned was interacting with other dogs and people. When we go on walks they're not distracted by other people and they're not pulling me trying to chase other dogs. We completed Beginner & Advanced classes, I highly recommend taking both classes.

I was impressed by the reception and instructions for our dog to be interviewed prior to be…read moreaccepted by the Camp in Lawrenceville NJ. Unfortunately, the subsequent interview was a negative experience. I was surprised and disappointed by the staff who had been so caring and positive before the interview. Here is what occurred. We arrived and our dog was taken into the large dog play area as we watched on camera. (btw, My dog is playful, sweet, two years old and has had many positive experience at doggie parks and with playdates) She was always near the back wall of the play area. They brought in the other dogs---as far as I could tell, they brought them in much too quickly. She never left the back wall and it was obvious that she wasn't happy. Once they opened up the outdoor area, her tail went up and she began moving around. At that point (after 30-40 minutes), we decided to let her stay and left as we were told that the staff would be watching her carefully. And, that they would remove another dog that was acting aggressively with other dogs. Around 30 minutes later, we received a call that another dog had attacked her and scratched her nose; that she was bleeding but was now Ok. We went to retrieve her. She was fine even though there were scratches. NO ONE from the Camp explained what happened. NO ONE has ever contacted me to explain or apologize. I believe that when the afternoon part time staff arrived, no one from the morning group had communicated that she was NEW....and they were to watch her carefully. They dropped the ball. They lost a potential customer. Obviously, they are not committed to the welfare of their clients. I would recommend staying away from Camp Bow Wow. What a disappointing experience. .

UPDATE - 3 years later…read more In Dec. it will be 3 years since my dog was discharged from Camp Bow Wow for apparently attacking another dog. Throughout that time Rocky has been to 3 different camps, all who adore him and call him a Gentle Giant. He has never once snapped at a dog despite what Camp Bow Wow has claimed. They blamed my dog when they were short on staff and their counselor to dog ratio was poor. My dog went to camp bow wow almost everyday for 2 years before they discharged him and many other large breeds. If you have a large breed there are many other camps which cater to large dogs. Please spare yourself the heartache, camp now wow only hires young amateurs. Also owners reply 3 years ago is not valid, they have never once spoke to me about my dogs behavior. I called there multiple times a day and there was never complaints, not even a warning. Owner is trying to save face!
