WORST dog trainer ever. Zero stars if possible. Do not take your dog to him unless you want to…read moreabuse your animal and make him afraid of you. I don't know why he's still in business. He should be stopped! He makes you pay full price in advance because he knows most people will quit after a couple of lessons. Which is exactly what I did. I may have lost $800 but at least I saved my dog from cruelty. He also makes you buy from him a choke collar, a leash, and another chain that he uses to scare the dog into submission. I beg of you, do not take your animal to him.

I'm a bit late to the party but I wanted to share my experience with JR Dog Training…read more I adopted a 3 year old Swiss mountain dog mix about 6 months ago. She has problems with reactivity and anxious behavior, but overall is the sweetest girl. We've been working on positive reinforcement, counter conditioning etc, and we're able to make some decent progress. But we were still dealing with some intense reactivity on walks, so we decided to look for a trainer. I spoke with JR on the phone a couple of times. He said that he didn't believe in the positive reinforcement philosophy. He mentioned that he did use a choke chain, but that it was only meant to "shock" the dog into listening. I read alot of reviews and most seemed positive. Coupled with the fact that he offered a lifetime guarantee and group classes (which would allow my dog to socialize with others) I figured I'd give it a go. First, JR came to my house to "assess" my dogs situation. This was meant to be a one hour session. He spent 45 minutes rambling on about miscellaneous stories and testimonies, which got pretty exhausting after a while. He then demanded up front payment of the full 600$, and had us sign a contract which removed any liability on his part if our dog were to get injured (major red flag). In hindsight, I should have decided not to pursue this any further, but I was really desperate for help. Upon payment, he told us we needed to purchase a choke collar and leash from him (another 60$). He then proceeds to put the collar on my dog and hold her close to him. He instructed us to call her over to us to see what his technique entailed. Once she got close, he literally yanked her as hard as he could back towards him. My dog was SO scared and visibly shaken up after that, and she kept trying to come back to me, but he kept yanking her away. She finally stopped and sat next to him, but her body language showed pure fear. The first group class was all about leash training. JR took turns showing everyone how to properly "correct" their dogs by pulling on the leash. When people had difficulty applying the technique, he would yell at, and flat out verbally abuse them. It was sickening to watch. But the method worked, as my dog was walking much better on leash, so I figured we should just tough it out. During the 2nd class, my dog got curious about another dog close by, and she wanted to approach him. I was ecstatic as she's never done this before. JR immediately came over, grabbed the leash and pulled her away. I was in complete disbelief. When I asked why he would correct behavior that we actually wanted to encourage, he said "he wanted to see how my dog would react". Just pure nonsense. He then spent the next 45 minutes explaining his next technique: the throw chain. He essentially uses a metal chain to hit the dog and force them into submission. The idea is that overtime, they associate the sound of the chain with the act of submitting and stopping whatever it is they are doing. He then proceeds to tell my dog to sit, which she immediately does, but whips her with the chain at the same time. The fear in my dog's eyes broke my heart. He applied the same technique to the other dogs, and went as far as throwing it in their faces when they wouldn't comply. I've seen him whip dogs as hard as he could and visibly hurting and scaring them. JR also told us he believed shock collars and electric fences to be appropriate methods to train dogs. I don't think I need to say much more on that. I could go on and on about JR's barbaric dog training methods, and his abusive treatment of his clients, but I'll leave it at this: if you love your dog, do not trust them with this man. I have stopped going to his classes out of fear that he would cause permanent psychological damage to my dog. There are so many trainers out there who will train your dog with positive, pain-free methods. It will take more time, but the payoff is worth it.

I called 15 minutes early and asked Caroline if she could have the dogs ready so I could go in and out, as I was in a hurry. That did not happen! Strike 1! When I was charged, the woman at the desk Caroline tried to overcharge me! I'm glad I asked for the total before I boarded the dogs! Strike 2! After 5-10 of find and getting my dogs waiting, they brought the dogs out and the carrier stunk of pee. I don't know how long they had my dogs in that carrier because it has never been peed on and stunk like that! Strike 3!

Never board your dog at Les Anges Gardiennes. They stopped having someone stay with the animals…read moreovernight over a year ago, but didn't tell customers. They just pretend nothing changed. They put the dogs in cages, stacked floor to ceiling, in a tiny room with signs banning entry, so owners don't know how badly their animals are being treated. From the time the daycare closes at 7:00pm until after 7:00am the next morning there is no one there, and the dogs are stuck in little cages for 12+ hours. There is just a camera in the room and who knows if they monitor that. They make a show of putting some cats roaming freely in an office off reception, but they won't show you where they actually stick the dogs who are boarding there: in tiny cages that are off-limits and behind closed doors. I saw the disgusting room because a lovely person in reception told me to avoid boarding there, and showed me the room even though they could have been fired. The people who work in the daycare are fabulous, but the woman who runs the place, Vanessa, is super sweet to your face and takes your money, and then shoves your dog, alone and scared, in a small room and lies to you about someone being there. Oh, also, Vanessa steals tips. The people who work there are so lovely (and you should tip them!!!) but NEVER let Vanessa see you do it, she'll take it for herself, because "they owe her." NEVER GO HERE FOR ANYTHING.

When booking the dog wash they didn't even ask what kind/size of dog, this resulted in them booking a short time for us to wash a 110lb german shepard so we had to leave well before completing the job. Not impressed. Also, staff have given mixed messages and showed a lack of knowledge in regards to kibble questions. They didn't seem to understand nutrition points, although they boasted about their annual food training. The store itself is clean and they offer quality products, but when you spend so much time looking for service staff only to have them be of no help... lets just say that if they didn't have the dog wash or locally source pet foods, this would be a one star.

This place has a lovely aesthetic and offers tons of services…read more I will say if you have a dog that is reactive, unsocial or anxious not to come on the weekend. I walked in for my splash pad reservation, and the restaurant is open which you need to walk through to get to reception. Anyone waiting in line to be seated obviously has their dogs with them, and it makes manoeuvring to get to reception a little difficult. For contacts, I have a nine month old cane Corso, who is unaltered at the moment ( he will be getting fixed closer to 18 months. Don't come for me) but due to his age and everyone safety we are not currently making new Dog friends. he is extremely social well trained, but walking in was definitely difficult to maneuver the tight space to get to reception which is located in the middle of the building. The receptionist Kiarra was extremely pleasant, helpful and informative. The pool area pictures online allude to a very well-maintained pool area. The water had more hair in it than I'm used to in facilities that offer dog pools. Some of the decoration is falling apart on the side and they've got a back corner cluttered with pool accessories for cleaning and what not that should probably be gated off. However this area is tucked away nicely at the back and you have the whole area to yourself. However You're in an area where they can be moving with boarding dogs. So if you are leaving the room to go dry, your dog just behind, there's possibilities that you bump into one of the staff members moving another Dog. This is only problematic if you have a dog that is reactive, nervous or in a situation where you need to keep your dogs in a one on one environment. I would like to state that me keeping my dog in a one on one environment because he's not neutered yet is purely a personal choice for his safety. The overall cleanliness of the establishment was OK, we went on a Saturday where they were serving brunch, and a couple tables remained dirty for an extended period of time as I waited my turn for the pool area. Not the end of the world, however, a dog could jump up and steal some leftover food, as I witnessed two humans with puppies who were very interested in the empty tables with leftover food. Definitely looking forward to going back during the week for hopefully a calmer experience.

Specialist Healthcare Professionals, full stop…read more Everyone was awesome. Helpful, caring and effective staff. Every step of the process was communicated clearly, with costs, benefits and options discussed in an empathetic way. This is not easy to do, but they do it very well. Care for my pet was tops, with a great outcome. Costs for veterinary emergency care are often difficult - particularly for us healthcare-blessed Canadians who aren't used to medical care having direct costs - so emergency vet bills can seem alarming. On occasions when I need to take my pet to the vet emergency, it makes me appreciate our healthcare system all the more. For what it's worth, having recently relocated to Montréal, DMVs costs were lower than I expected based on what I had previously paid in other cities. Hopefully I won't need their services again, but in the event that I do, I'll definitely use DMV!! Thank you so much for your care.
