A few weeks with Kate was a great investment for Molly and the rest of our family. Once the initial excitement of having Molly back home wore off, she was much more focused, listened to commands, and was significantly better behaved. Kate continues to be a wonderful resource. She really cared for our dog and showed her the respect and love that our family gives Molly. We look forward to continue working with her in the future!

The short version of our experience: Steve is a miracle worker. Our rescue seemed incapable of…read morehaving positive interactions with other dogs, and Steve gave us the tools to turn him around. Now, nearly all interactions are positive and we feel in control and our dog's anxiety is 100% managable (and he's a much happier dog for it!). We can't possibly thank Steve enough. The much longer version of our experience: We rescued a 4-year old Standard Poodle six months ago and needed help with behavioral issues. While our dog was great with humans, he had major issues interacting with other dogs. Anxiety, growling, unfriendly posturing, overall a very stressful experience as an owner since our condo and neighborhood has a ton of dogs. Steve provided a free consultation to meet our dog in our home and discuss the best approach, private lessons or group lessons. After our consultation, Steve gave us some immediate pointers and asked us to join his group classes the following month, mentioning that if it didn't go well we would switch to private lessons. Using those pointers, we started preparing our dog for classes. I was a bit nervous to be around other dogs but Steve couldn't have been more right. We learned SO MUCH about our dog in those group lessons. How he acts when stressed out, what sets him off, and more importantly, how our dog communicates to us that he's uncomfortable. All of this was in a safe and controlled environment under Steve's supervision. Group classes also showed us that every dog is unique and has different battles they need to work through and the fact that our dog needed some behavior corrections didn't mean we were bad dog owners. I can't understate how much we learned about our own dog's personality, and that was worth its weight in gold. Steve got to know our dog really well through those classes (and our dog absolutely loves him) and was able to very narrowly diagnose what was causing our dog's issues: anxiety, lack of positive socialization, yet deep desire to interact with other dogs. In other words, he wants to say "hello" but doesn't know how and gets anxious because he doesn't understand how other dogs say "hello." It made perfect sense based on our six months of experience since adopting him. After our group classes finished, we asked Steve for an additional private lesson to escalate the "Leave It" command (a very difficult command in general). We expressed our concerns about not wanting to use pain as a punishment, and he was 100% supportive. He worked to re-teach us the command and introduced a noise correction to pair with the "Leave It" command. We practiced this with Steve and then he visited us again a week later to see how things were going. I can't begin to explain the difference this has made for us. Through learning in group classes our dog's cues for anxious behavior, and then being empowered with the command to distract him from his own anxiety, we feel like we have a new dog! While sometimes he still gets a little weird, we say the command and he's instantly re-focused and well-behaved. Since then, he's only had positive interactions with other dogs, even making a few dog friends that he gets excited to say hello to. The biggest test was having a friend stay overnight with her two dogs. We're pleased to say he behaved exceptionally well! We can't thank Steve enough. The guy just understands dogs and knows what their humans need, and is a total miracle worker. There's no way we can thank Steve enough for what he's done for our family and our dog!

I took my dog here for his first swim lesson just a few weeks ago. He's a four month old golden…read moreretriever, he's very outgoing very gentle such a great dog. When I first called and expressed interest in my dog beginning to learn how to dock dive I was immediately greeted with. "We don't do that until they're older." I'm new to the sport. I'm glad they enlightened me and I wanted to get my dog in the water so I scheduled an initial appointment. It wasn't a pleasant atmosphere. When I first got there, I was waiting for at least 10 minutes for paperwork, instructions, and then again to take my dog outside to urinate before we even got in the water. They told me that if my dog urinates in the pool, there would be a warning and then if he does it again, there's like a $50 charge to clean the pool. I think that's a bit steep because he's a puppy and he still learning to potty train, thankfully during our class he didn't go potty in the pool. The instructor wasn't that excited to be there. She seemed to have to drag him in the pool and within 10-15 minutes we were done. At the end she tried to pressure me into buying a package and I just don't think I got my moneys worth. I personally work with animals and think this place could use a lot of improvement. Also the clients that were coming through the door as I was leaving were not thrilled about a puppy being there because they were in training with their personal dogs.

Our silver lab puppy attended the 2 week Board & Train at about 5 months and then again at 1 year. We were given all the tools ( leash, E-collar, cot etc. ) as well as a training session for us . We learned how to follow up and consistently apply the training strategies that they had worked so hard to instill in our pup. Our sweet girl is coming along beautifully with such commands as heel,, sit/down, stay, here, and staying on place. "On place" is awesome! When put on place, our dog will remain comfortably on her cot and will not leave it until we give her the prompt. Great for when guests come to the door, when we are eating, when I need to get some cleaning done. Every member of the staff is helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and very very devoted to the health and well being of all the dogs. They are there for you when questions or concerns arise and dedicated to helping your dog be a well mannered, well trained member of the family.

I live in Cudahy and they came to pick my dog in the mornings and dropped him in the afternoons. They've taken my dog to dog parks, various trails, beaches, state parks, and they send pictures and videos to let you know your fluffy friend is happy. They care about where they take your dog too, so if it's super hot out they find a place to cool off for the day while still exercising your doggo. If it rained out, they check the pH levels of the beach to make sure it's safe and will avoid if it's not. They're timely with pick ups and drop offs too, and their super trust worthy; in fact I gave them the key to my house and they were nice enough to feed/water my pup and gave him a treat before they left. To cap things off they're some of the kindest people I've ever met. If you need someone to watch your little tail wagging friend, call these gals. The price is fair, the service is awesome, and I would recommend them to everyone. No regrets.

I don't know how well they really groom because my first few impressions were not great…read moreunfortunately. I called and left two messages (which is the ONLY way you can schedule appointments or get much information other than walking in) and neither call was returned. Stuff happens, messages get lost, so I decided to walk in and did not get a warm reception at all. I'm assuming it was the owner in the middle of grooming and she asked what she could do for me in what seems to be a clearly irritated tone. I explained I had left two messages and hadn't heard back (to which you would think you might get an apology or explanation but got nothing except a further irritated expression.). I asked pricing, availability and how best to schedule appointments. She answered $75, which is around double nearly anyone else I've ever talked to or gone to. I asked if she does much grooming on many doodles (as I have had several groomers 'poodle' my doodle, which is why I am so particular about groomers and will pay more for one who knows the true 'doodle' cut .) I think she actually rolled her eyes and said yes, she has been doing lots of mixed breeds for years. The demeanor, way she answered and less than warm first impression turned me off very much. We are new to town and have owned small businesses in small towns and word of mouth can be your best friend or your worst enemy, and while we all have off days I was less than impressed from this interaction...especially compared to all the other local businesses we have been fortunate enough to interact with who are warm, friendly and eager to help. Also, we choose to give our business to companies who adapt to changing times and busy lives. I go to a groomer because I am too busy to groom my own dogs, work full time and can not call during business hours during the work week to schedule appointments. We look for businesses that have scheduling online or even via email or Facebook. This business does not nor did they return a call from my two phone calls and messages I left. Needless to say, we will NOT be bringing our dogs there nor recommending this business based on this.
