I had my puppy there for bootcamp that was supposed to last for 4 weeks. I was told that she…read moreneeded to stay longer because she was having aggression issues. This was a surprise to me because on each of my calls to see how she was doing, I was told that "She is doing great and progressing nicely". I stopped by one day and asked to see her and was told that they were too busy and I would need to schedule a time. I was the only customer in the lobby at the time. I scheduled a time for the following day and took a friend with me. Sadie smelled so bad that I couldn't stand it. My other dog was to be there for 1 week to work on anxiety that she had with the puppy. She was more anxious that ever and also smelled really bad. At the 10 week mark, I decided that I wanted my dogs back. I was charged $100 more than I was quoted and I had to pay for 1 day of daycare for both dogs so that they could be "evaluated". I never received an evaluation on one of the dogs and the evaluation I did receive was for the wrong dog. I was told when I picked them up that I would probably need to get them groomed as soon as possible because they were badly matted and they didn't have the time to brush them. I spent an additional $180 the next day having them groomed. They both had to be shaved down to the skin. In addition, the puppy learned nothing. She doesn't even know how to sit, lie down or come, which are the very basics. This is after 10 weeks! The "manager", Amanda, is condescending, uncaring and knows nothing about customer service! I have asked repeatedly to speak with Tori. I was told that she was out on maternity leave and when she returned, she would work with my dogs for 1 week at no charge. I told Amanda that I expected them to be trained as promised or I wanted my money back. It has been 2 1/2 months since I brought them home. I have called twice and spoke with Amanda both times. She told me that Tori had not come back, but I was first on the list when she returned. She then asked "What's your name again?" Are you kidding me? How can I be first on the list if you don't even know who I am?! They obviously don't care about their customers or their business if they don't even try to resolve issues. I have used them in the past for my other two dogs and had great results. That is not the case now. I WOULD NOT recommend them to anyone. They do not care about your dog or you. They just want your money.

Those who know me know that my entire world is run by two miniature schnauzers…read more Granted, they are cuddly, cute, and have personalities the size of St. Bernards, and because of these reasons (amongst many), they have turned me into one of those crazy dog ladies that swears up and down that I'll never be able to have children because how -- HOW I ASK YOU?! -- could I possibly love anyone or anything more than I love these two creatures? Yes, Harry & Daxter are the fluffy little loves of my life, and boy oh boy, do they know it. It's not that they're bad dogs, really, it's just that they know how to get away with all the bad things that they do. Because, you know, they're cute. And while they have both gone through basic obedience and already knew how to do all the "normal" dog things like, sit, stay, and even high-five (Daxter gives excellent high-fives, FYI), a few commands does not a perfect dog make. And between the barking at every living thing (and sometimes even non-living things -- hello UPS truck) that passes by the house, Harry's penchant for eating my leftovers straight off of the coffee table, and how Daxter literally backs away from me when I say "come," it eventually got to a point where I needed to call in some professional help to turn my pups into more than just cuddly bed buddies. So thank GOODNESS for Lara and For Pup's Sake training! Under Lara's patient tutelage, my dogs now actually know how to go to their "place" before mealtime, and we're working on sending them there when folks come to the door as well. Their recall is better, they're generally more obedient, and, heck, better mannered, too! After all, a tired pup is generally a well-behaved pup, and with Lara's training these boys definitely get a mental work out. Lara comes and works with you in your home, so your dogs are learning in their environment, and gives you all the tools to continue the training when she's not there in person to guide you through it. We've worked on everything from leash-training to place-training to perfecting their patience and willpower with variations of the leave-it command I didn't even know existed. Beyond that, Lara truly cares about your dogs and wants to make sure they're set up for success from the get-go. My boys still have a bit of a way to go before they're truly the perfect pets (and I have a LONG way to go before I'm the perfect owner, hehe), but I'm so happy to have Lara and For Pup's Sake leading the way there.
