"Dog" may be in the name but Newman's has been wonderful for my cat, Edna! To set the stage, I have…read morewhat you might call a difficult kitty...or as my friend recently referred to her, "Satan". She gets nervous when people come into the home and I'm not there which makes pet sitting a challenge - so much so that she was fired as a client by the service I used in Chicago. Enter Newman's. Not only are both sitters, Emma and Christine, lovely people, they handled Edna in stride. They are awesome about sending texts after every visit and give me updates and details so it never feels like they're just checking a box. Christine has been our go-to and she's just awesome...noticing things like new food bowls and finding nice things to say about my salty Edna. I always look forward to her texts when I'm away. The owner, Jena responds to requests immediately (even when she's on vacation) and never has a problem with last-minute schedule changes. Overall, the level of service is truly exceptional - I highly recommend Newman's if you're looking for someone to take amazing care of your pets while you're away.

It's locally owned and is definitely a place where you can trust the high quality of your dogs training. The staff really care about training dogs, which is all that matters!

We love All Dogs Unleashed! This is my second pup I've brought in for the 2 week board and train…read moreprogram, and I am just as impressed this time around as I was previously. We brought our recently rescued pup in as she pulled on the leash like crazy and was in her own world in high distraction environments. She is a bit shy, but she grew to love her trainers Melody and Sierra quickly! The bond she built with them was so evident when we came to pick her up. With her new training, behavior expectations are much clearer for her, and we can communicate with her and redirect her much more effectively. Would recommend ADU to anyone who is having issues training their pup or anyone looking to establish a solid training foundation. Thank you so much, Melody, Sierra, Aaron, and the rest of the ADU team!

I sent my 1 year old dog here for training, and I could not be more satisfied ! After dropping off,…read moreClaire, Aaron and all of the employees were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He went for the 2 week train and board. While I was scared he would lose a bit of his personality, he came home the same dog just extremely well behaved. Goose was walking off leash in public spaces within 1 week of training, and I didn't know that was possible. The frequent report cards filled with pictures and videos made me know I sent him to the right place. I cannot recommend All Dogs Unleashed enough, for your pup or older dog. I will definitely be using them again for boarding and refresh training when I go out of town!

Mike at K.I.S.S. Dog training has made a monumental impact not only on our Australian Cattle Dog,…read moreBernie, but our whole family. We started out as a complex case due to Bernie's reactivity towards other people, a variety of objects (mainly those with wheels), hyperactivity, etc. We learned how to keep Bernie under his threshold so he gets to practice good behavior as much as possible. We went through his Babies Don't Bark course and Bernie is now the best older brother to my one month old! I never would have imagined Bernie would be walking next to a stroller or staying calm by lying off to the side when people/dogs pass by but sure enough he's doing it...still with lots of cheese to motivate him :-) Mike helped us get anxiety meds started, which has made a big difference, and has normalized wearing a muzzle! I won't sugar coat the amount of work and patience it takes to keep up on training but it's been worth it. Mike is so responsive in emails (within hours of asking a question) and has lots of YouTube videos and books to help owners. Training a dog is a life long experience! Last year I felt overwhelmed but now I have a better understanding of how to help Bernie in different situations so I feel in control. Special shout-out to Angela for being so helpful with scheduling! Thank you!!

Having the flexibility to do in home sessions and Zoom calls really aided in getting our dogs the amount of training they needed in an environment they were comfortable with.

She took our wallflower of a pup to a dog that can be social with guests, and our out going over stimulated pup to a confident dog that can relax during social gathering now. I couldn't recommend a better behavioral training!

When we discussed the overly hyperactive and sometimes nippy behavior of our Presa Canario, Magnus,…read morewith our vet, she highly recommended we contact Karen, so that's what we did, and we are sooo happy we did so! Karen has a deep understanding of dog behavior, and she has a full toolkit of tips, tricks and techniques to help owners learn how to be an advocate for their dog, and how to work with and shape the behaviors of their dogs in ways that causes minimal stress to the dog while maximizing the results. Whenever we'd describe a behavior to Karen, she could quickly analyze and explain what was going on in Magnus' head. Furthermore, she would instruct us on exactly how to handle the situation in great detail, and she would follow this up with drills to ingrain the right reaction by the owner with very close attention to the fundamentals of dog-to-human communication: voice inflection, pitch and tone; body language, movement, hand placement, grip; cues to reward and commands to help enact a particular behavior. Karen even has an unending offering of tips and tricks to wear your pup out, redirect its attention, etc., even how to teach your furry friend how to disentangle itself from its leash - she taught Magnus in less than five minutes, which was pretty incredible! We think Karen is a first-rate, extraordinary dog trainer, dog handler, dog psychologist, and owner trainer, too! :) If you're in need of some help with your doggy, we highly, highly recommend Karen to you.

This would a charge on top of any exam or grooming fee. With a 3 week lead time, I would hate to have a pet that needed urgent care. They probably won't try to work you in, even though you're an established patient. Yes, there may be 24/7 vet facilities but when you have an established relationship with a vet who knows your pets, that's where you want to go first.
