She was our 3rd trainer and honestly last resort before turning to medicating our reactive dog. She got back to basics, tailored her approach to his breed and genetic instincts and layered in play with a balanced training approach with positive reinforcement and correction techniques.

The General Manager is disrespectful and absolutely rude to customers and staff. Seems as if only one employee is doing animal care while the animal care leader is slacking off. I've seen them degrade customers and even myself. Being told they are going to trespass me for taking pictures of dead animals, after I informed them of the deaths and they did absolutely nothing about it. Seeing sick animals and managers not caring. Seeing non management staff suffer and looks miserable at work because of what seems to look like dictatorship of management. I will not be returning to this store. I even pay for Vital Care for my animals and knowing I can not use it at that store is ridiculous. There needs to be something done with the upper management in the store and the animals. This is animal abuse.

I can't say enough good things about Off Leash K9 Training! Our trainer, Lindsey, was incredibly…read moreknowledgeable and made the entire process fun and engaging for both me and my pup, Ashe. Ashe at 6 months of age can be a bit of a handful , but Lindsey took the time to understand his behavior and tailored the training to his needs. After just two weeks, we noticed Ashe's confidence soar. Ashe is now much better behaved at the park, and he's responding wonderfully to commands like "sit," "place," "heel," and "come." This is the second dog I put through Off Leash K9 Training, and they truly help build trust between you and your pup. It allows you to take your pup into the world and enjoy life rather than sitting at home alone. I also love how Lindsey emphasizes the importance of consistency and makes sure we're practicing the right way at home. I feel so much more confident as a dog owner, and Ashe seems happier too! I highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training of Charlotte to anyone looking to strengthen the bond with their dog and improve both their quality of life and behavior!

She edited her videos so we could see a lot of what they worked on each day. Claire really understood Shadow and his needs. At pick up, she did a great job explaining everything to us, guiding us on how to follow through at home, and loving on Shadow one last time. You could tell he was sad to leave her. Claire was so encouraging and loving towards him. Shadow's been home less than a week and because of Claire, he is behaving so much better. He's been able to off leash and not jump on people he's greeting. Thank you so much Claire and Off Leash K9 Charlotte!

I can't recommend Patrick highly enough!! I reached out to him for help with my foster dog, Fisher,…read morewho was scared and unsure of people due to an abusive past. He has been starting to show some fear aggression so I decided to get some assistance. Patrick was incredibly patient, compassionate, and understanding. He never rushed Fisher (or me) or expected too much too soon. Instead, he focused on helping him feel safe and building his confidence at his own pace. What really stood out to me is Patrick's genuine interest in helping shelter dogs. He understands the unique challenges these dogs can face and truly cares about giving them (and their foster parents/owners) the tools and confidence they need to succeed. Thanks to Patrick, I feel much better equipped to help Fisher, and I've already seen positive changes in him. I'm incredibly grateful for his knowledge and expertise! Fisher is available for adoption through the Charlotte Mecklenburg County Animal Shelter if anyone is looking for a cute new companion!

Working with Patrick has been such a game changer for us and for our pup, Bondi. In just a couple…read moreof hours of training, we saw big shifts in her focus, regulation, and our own confidence. It felt immediately practical and grounded, not overwhelming or overly rigid... and actually, fun! One of the biggest takeaways was learning how to use the growl/bah cue as a simple "focus on me" signal, paired with really big, enthusiastic praise when she listens or offers good behavior. That combination alone made a noticeable difference in how quickly she engages and settles. Patrick also gave us clear daily practices to work on, especially around reducing attention-seeking behaviors, managing front door and doorbell excitement, helping her place and settle, and most importantly supporting her adrenaline and impulse control. It all feels doable and structured without being stressful. On top of the training itself, Patrick was also incredibly helpful in guiding us through a diet transition for Bondi. That kind of whole-dog support really stood out because he clearly cares about Bondi's wellbeing -- not just obedience. Patrick is knowledgeable, calm, supportive, and really good at explaining the why behind what you're doing. We left sessions feeling empowered instead of confused, which says a lot. We're honestly thrilled with the progress we've already made and excited to keep building on it. If you're looking for a trainer who is thoughtful, effective, and genuinely invested in your dog's success and your relationship with them, we would absolutely recommend Patrick without hesitation.

First off, Richard is a passionate and talented man, it's easy to see from the moment you meet him; Richard does what he loves. Second, he speaks dog... like direct communication, but what's cool is before I knew it, I was communicating with my babies even better. He was teaching me to talk to the dogs the whole time and I had no clue. Third, he inspired me! It is not often you meet somebody with the courage to walk away from every comfort they know to pursue something they love. Richard listened to what I wanted to do, I wanted to strengthen the bond between myself and the dogs. I already see a difference, they do too. I've worked with several trainers in the past and never felt a comfortable, or confident connection and neither did my dogs. I don't know who's more excited about our next lesson, me or the dogs. I can tell you there's more to come. If you want to get to know your dogs better and really strengthen that bond, call Richard. I assure you; you won't have any regrets.

Pricing is on par with other grooming in the area, but I also like the fact that it is more of a small business rather than big box groomers. The location is right in downtown Pineville with ample street parking all around. I also find the inside to be clean. You can see the back a bit which looks sanitary. My only hesitation for pushing to five stars is scheduling. I had to call five times across three days before someone actually answered the phone. There was a voicemail option.

If the rating is for whether they came and changed the food and water every day, then they get a 5…read more However, if the rating is based on the amount of stress and distress imposed on me as the cat owner, it's a zero. When I interviewed them, they said they would do what was on the list and then sit quietly for 30 minutes and read a book. I suggested they could turn the TV on and they literally said no they did not want to disturb the cats, and sitting quietly would be best for the cats. I got anything but! The person that came completely disrupted the household. First, I had a 6 foot screen that sectioned off a part of the house that I did not want them going through - she literally moved the screen to walk throughout that part of the house!! That was an immediate violation of privacy. Next, she took it upon herself to move my garbage pail out for garbage day. I never asked her to do this, because I can get fined by the HOA for having the pails out overnight. Plus, I did not want her walking through the garage either! Again, another area of the house that should have been kept private. She also went out the back door to put feed in the birdfeeder. This was something she did ask about in the chat, and I was with friends and on reflex I said yes. I immediately regretted saying yes as I realized the cats would be disturbed and also might get out. Honestly, I didn't need that conversation when I was on vacation. Birds are wild and should be fine. It was just way too much. When I returned home, I saw that she moved all of the cat toys to make decorations. Cats are very sensitive to smell. I had a very simple list: change the water, food, and add one cup of litter to the litter robot. Otherwise, I liked their approach to sit quietly to see whether my shy cats might come out. Moving around the house, opening all the doors, had to be disruptive for the cats. I also was extremely worried that one of my cats might slip out the door. She also changed the litter in the litter robot drawer. Again, this was not on her list to do. Now I had to worry about whether she put it back together again correctly, Ironically, she sent me a picture of the litter box, and I noticed that the sand was considerably below the fill line. When I asked about it, she said that she forgot to add litter that day.‍‍ In the end, instead of just coming in the front door and leaving by the front door, she roamed around the entire house, and went through every entry in the house. I was stressed and distressed as to whether things were properly locked, whether a cat would slip out from one or the doors, and I hated the fact that from my cats' perspective, she was everywhere. Finally, they take your key and make a copy of it and keep it. I am so extremely not comfortable with this. Yes, they told me at the interview, but I didn't realize how much it distressed me. So I had to spend the money to get my locks changed. When I provided her this feedback, she said that clients liked that she took initiative and shut down my account. So this review is written for those people that would prefer to have a cat sitter come and just be there for 30 minutes to reassure your cats they are not alone. That's what they told me they would do. If you like somebody to roam around and act on their own initiative in your home, then the service is perfect. I also want to emphasize that nothing was taken and they did an excellent job in posting pictures on the app. For me, it was just that the initiative was way too much.
