    Jim is the best groomer ever. He totally understands our dog's issues & is always accommodating. We will never take our baby anywhere else!

    our dog has been to doggie day care since he was a puppy in Maine before we moved here. Spending…read moreover two hundred dollars on classes before he could even go to daycare made no sense as after four years our dog was very socialized and obedient . He was finally accepted to daycare after six weeks and the first day I picked him up they said he was barking., well so we're all the other dogs. this day care is not all that clean and totally smells like dog urine. the other two kennels he attended you could eat off the floors.

    Took my pup to Stonington location for puppy daycare as well as taking their puppy training…read moreclasses in Lyme on the weekend from age 3 mo to 6 mo and worked with him at home with what we were taught in class. The staff was always great and kind and I always received an overall good report about him with some concerns about reactive barking but it was always chalked up by the trainer and the staff as primarily being "a Shepherd thing". (He is a German shepherd puppy) My issue is with the owner Marge. She is quite possibly the rudest, most condescending business owner I have ever run into. I was nearing the end of his puppy daycare program and looking forward to getting him into the adult program but was approached by Marge about his horrible reactive barking and that he could absolutely not come to the adult program until this was corrected. This reactive barking was never even an issue until he started coming to daycare. They are kept behind a fence, directly behind the front door and so every time a person enters with their dog he barks and jumps. It is hard to address this behavior when he is doing it at daycare and not at home since it's a completely different environment, which leads me to the main question of, what is being done at daycare to correct the behavior?! I asked what do we do, reach out to a behaviorist? We're already doing training classes and he actually is doing really good in class even thought a couple dogs actually lunge at him in class which the trainer is aware of. The trainer actually praised us for his progress at the last couple classes. There seems to be a large disconnect between this owner and the staff and it's quite appalling and concerning but after spending so much time and money with their daycare and training and then being told quite literally he can't come anymore is just plain wrong. I also don't appreciate being called out by the owner with snide remarks like "you need to train him at home as well", and "I already spoke with the trainer and she has expressed to you her concerns" it's like I was being set up and called a liar. What did I do to deserve this?! First of all I have the trainers direct number and she thought not allowing him to continue was unusually harsh and did not speak to Marge when Marge said she did. I will save a long rant and just end with stay away from this place. They are expensive and I'm finding that quite a few other local daycares have better, more flexible programs and are actually averaging $10 cheaper a day and have better packages as well and a much better overall day-day program. The owner Marge could actually take some notes from her own staff about how to talk and treat a customer. She will, I'm sure, deny any of this and seem apologetic and that she cares about my dogs progress and that she never said these things. Very much it feels she is prejudiced against certain breeds (mine being one of them) and that I'm being forced out even though he is a great dog and plays great with the others. There are plenty of pictures on their Facebook page to prove this fact.

    Brian understands dogs, but he can be rude and unprofessional to people- especially women. He does…read morenot want anything to do with you while he has your dog, despite what he says. He will warn people that his communication is "direct," but that is inaccurate. His responses are dramatic cut-and-paste messages that often have nothing to do with your own request. My dog got what it needed from training, but lost a good amount of weight. When this was pointed out to the assistant, they reviewed their instructions- sure enough, the wrong amount of food was listed. It should have been obvious for a dog that size.

    Canine Behavioral Services is incredible! Brian and his staff worked with my two dogs to get them…read moremore comfortable around other people and dogs. They also guided us on behaviors to implement at home to create a more balanced life for each of them. Most importantly, these techniques helped the dogs become comfortable and confident in our home when we welcomed a baby. With the help from Canine Behavioral Services, this transition happened nearly seamlessly, which I am confident would not have happened without Brian's help. I cannot say enough great things about Canine Behavioral Services, they have created such positive change in my two dogs and allowed for them to grow and flourish in our home! Brian continues to support us even after the completion of the program which has been incredibly helpful as we continue to maintain a balanced household for the dogs.
