Giving Nick 100/10!…read more After interviewing several different dog training facilities and trainers, we are so happy we chose Nick at Full Spectrum. From the very beginning, he was incredibly informative about the training process and what it would take to help our 8 month golden retriever pup to stop pulling on the leash, stop jumping on people, and develop both formal and informal recall. What stood out most was how much he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. He never made unrealistic promises and was very honest about what we could expect throughout the training journey. That level of transparency gave us a lot of confidence and trust in the process. I also really appreciated that he let us take our pup home on weekends during training to help with a smoother transition back into our home environment. Each handoff included a training session where he walked us through what to work on while she was with us, which made us feel involved and set us up for success. Nick was also incredibly accommodating when our pup unexpectedly went into heat right in the middle of her training! He let us keep her for a week in the middle of training but offered to meet up in the middle to make sure she was still progressing at no charge! We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Nick and Full Spectrum to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and effective trainer!!

Our Doberman just finished his puppy immersion programme and is already more calm, less reactive and has impulse control. We went for our first long walk down by the lake yesterday and she walked in the heel position every time, followed every command and stayed tuned in. We have built a stronger bond with our pup because of the training with Nick and cannot wait to see how far she can go. She loves having a job to do, and now we know what we can redirect her to. Nick trains you just as much as he trains your dog so that everything becomes easy and you feel confident keeping the training going. We plan to do his adult programmes when Sass is a bit older and ready for them. Cannot recommend him enough!

She even gave me some good tips to help with some skin irritation of including fish oil pills to her diet. Getting a good dose of omega-3's from a brand called Nordic Naturals. She even gave me a sample packet! She also told me to help with my dog's bad teeth that I could add a supplement to the water. It was nice to get good tips and feel well cared for in this clinic. A lady in the waiting room said she brings her dogs in for chiropractor care! Amazing! A great veterinarian clinic I highly recommend this clinic!

Earlier this year, my pup Ryder was viciously attacked by two large dogs who slipped out of loose…read moredog collars as we passed them at the park. Fortunatley he healed well after two weeks of dedicated TLC but the trauma of the experience remained with both him and me well after Ryder physically healed. I reached out to Matt for virtual dog training appointments to help us through that, and his guidance and great wisdom around dog psychology and behavior and deep empathy for Ryder and in general made such a huge impact. I learned from Matt how to help Ryder through his fear and trauma and how to recognize when he was experiencing trauma (for example, he developed a new and strong fear of rumbling engines). By applying Matt's empathetic practices, Ryder has become much less fearful, is no longer afraid of rumbling engines or playing with other dogs and he's back to his old happy, playful, super enthusiastic and friendly self!! :) Matt also greatly helped my dog Ellie through the excessive anxiety that resulted from my marital separation and helped us learn what an impact the breaking of that social bond had on her and how to address it! We now give her the extra attention she needs when doing hand offs to switch between homes. Thank you so much, Matt working with you has made a WORLD of difference in Ryder and Ellie's quality of life!! :)

They have a special way with pups and I'm so grateful to know them.

I still regret it a few years later. She was being buzzed for behaviors she didn't understand. It was punishment rather than training. The trainers drank the kool-aid and are inexperienced, The group classes were an absolute mess. Owners were confused and just zapped away without proper training and guidance, I pulled my dog out immediately. If you truly love your dog, and want to learn proper communication, consider positive reinforcement. The only situation I 'maybe' consider this is a pup with aggressive behavior. Otherwise, I would NEVER recommend this type of training. NEVER.

The owner does need to be diligent with taking their dog to the trainings (we kind of fell off at the end but it was okay) but as long as you stick with it, your dog will learn new skills and will be better behaved than before. We can literally walk our dog without a leash now, I never thought that would be possible. She will sit in her place when people come over and we are always getting compliments on how good she is. We can do things in the front yard and have her stay in the garage and she won't run after other dogs that walk by or other other people or children. She has learned to stay in her place for as long as we need her to be. It's funny because she was a really wild dog before and now that she's trained everybody loves her. overall the training here was worth it and we are really happy that we did it!

I forgot my phone at home so I don't have pictures to share but from the moment we walked into the office I felt comfortable. The waiting room is inviting and warm. The receptionists are friendly and there are snacks and a drink fridge!! They have great artwork all around the lobby and patient rooms. I am a plant lover and the room is filled with everything from pothos to monsteras. I did give the pothos by the tv a little drink; it was thirsty. Dr. Lawton is knowledgeable and thorough. She answered all of my questions and left me feeling like Roxie was in great hands. We have a plan moving forward and that puts me at ease. Roxie is 15 and overall very healthy. They even found a gap in the leptospirosis vaccine that Roxie has been getting forever. My previous vet's office (which rhymes with Shmestlake Animal Hospital) let her lepto vaccine lapse so now Roxie needs this shot and another one in three weeks. :( They even give you a bottle of wine for being a new patient/customer. Nice touch! :) I'm so happy Roxie has a new home at Firehouse. Your pet will be happy too!

Firehouse Westlake has been so fantastic with the care of our 20-year old calico cat, MayBea. From…read morethe time we noticed our senior cat had an ailment to our ultimate decision to have to say goodbye, we were given such great care. After a week of Maybea being gone we received a lovely and heartfelt condolences card from Dr. Bonnet that was handwritten. We could not have been happier with the gentle care and honesty we received at Firehouse Westlake. We were very happy to have been cared for and by Dr. Bonnet and Dr. Dillon and their staff as they were always professional, honest, and sincere. Technicians were so thorough and communicative on every step they needed to take with our pet and her care. They were so kind to us at such precious moments and decisions. The transparency of cost and the estimated time for medicine/pickup that was communicated to us at the get was spot on. We had no delays or disappointments in the meticulous care Dr. Bonnet provided. Having a 20-year old senior cat can present challenges (besides her being a spicy/mean cat) and added stress for vet visits. Dr. Bonnet really cared for us and provided professional and honest opinions in determining care for Maybea. Scheduling appointments via the app and/or calling in to speak with staff was always friendly and kind. The waiting rooms and exam rooms were very welcoming for us and our cat when we came to visit for appointments. Parking is super easy and they have about 6 parking spots that are dedicated to any pet family coming in which we appreciated. Now as our kitty has passed on my partner and I promised each other that we will no doubt make Firehouse Westlake our center point for care with our next and new pet. Thank you to the entire pleasant, kind, and caring staff at Firehouse Westlake. We truly appreciate your kindness at one of the most challenging and difficult times in our lives around our pet's health. Thank you!
