I recently adopted (six weeks ago) an eight-week old puppy from Kaley's litter...Cathy was…read moreresponsive to emails and texts, and we had a lengthy phone conversation prior to her accepting my deposit. I brought home a little guy who was born right before Xmas 2025 and everyone, and I mean everyone, who has met him just thinks he's the cutest thing ever. Strangers, neighbors, people in stores, the vet and vet techs...everyone. He is mostly confident, he does startle sometimes with new loud sounds, but he stays put to see how I react. He does play hard w/ the 10 y/o corgi at my house, and also with my friend's two puppies, he really holds his own, but as puppies go, he's really calm (and I would say he was the most calm of his five siblings, based on the video I saw and Cathy's input). I would say they are as de-sensitized as they could be, after eight weeks (when we can adopt them). He is very sweet and very cute, and has been learning commands over the past few weeks (he is just coming up on 15 weeks old tomorrow). I hope to take him back to see Cathy and Mike the next time I get to PHX.

We are so fortunate to find Cathy as the breeder for our lovely Luna. We picked up our Luna when…read moreshe was 2 months old and she was grass pad trained and very comfortable in the playpen and sleeping in her own crate. The way they train the puppies early on really helped them to feel that crates are a safe space. We were amazed at how little training it took us when we first got Luna. Luna was also desensitized by all the different sounds and she was so calm and happy when she came home with us. Cathy and Mike guided us throughout our first few weeks by recommending Baxter & Bella to help us prepare for our puppy. Cathy is always available for questions and she constantly updates her breeder recommendation page to keep us updated. Cathy also allowed us to come to visit anytime for Luna to see her parents again and play with the other Cotons! We are really grateful for everything Cathy and Mike recommended and have helped us throughout this year. I can't wait to one day get another puppy from them when Luna is a little older.

So I live in New Jersey and have been using a very well respected and highly rated dog trainer in…read moremy area. While they helped me with many things they fell flat when it came to getting my 10 month old German shepherd mix past the puppy stage. When he hit 9 months the treats and positive training STOPPED working. He did great with no distractions but real life? Absolutely not. I wasn't able to walk him anymore. He was TOO much for me to handle at 70 pounds. My dog loving Aunt who uses him with her dogs and fosters suggested I sign up for his online lessons. At this point I figured what could it hurt and it was less money than 2 private sessions with my other trainer. Ok so...20 minutes in...positive and negative reinforcement?!? Hello!?! Makes so much sense. I did the research and got the pinch collar and the ez trainer 300 collar and less then 1 week later...here we are! On a walk with other dogs, other people and he didn't pull, no lunging and I didn't fear once the life of a passing pedestrian, dog, cyclist, squirrel or chipmunk and I didn't fear being pulled into another state on a last minute whim of my 10 month old Sheprador which let me tell you was fully a worry of mine a couple weeks ago. So excited to continue these online lessons. I finally feel like I'm equipped.

Being new to town I was terrified to leave my dogs in the care of anyone else! But CharlieBar…read moresurely proved me wrong, I received daily updates from them and my dogs looked like they were having a blast. By pickup I could tell they didn't want to go lol. We will definitely be back, thank you to the CharlieBar team for taking such good care of my babies! They came home exhausted from all the fun they had!

Devon is truly incredible. She worked with my 1 year old Dachshund to do a 5 week board and train…read moreand our girl came back to us ready to succeed. We continue to work through the training and play as she grows and evolves to stay on top of her training and hold her accountable and work through her pushing boundaries. We can confidently take our dog anywhere now without worry. Thank you so much Devon for helping our girl with true manners.

Izzy is amazing! When I brought home my puppy I knew I needed someone to come to my home while my…read morepup wasn't vaccinated yet and I wanted to start training as soon as possible. We started working together probably less than a week from our first email exchange. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, professional, but also personable and I felt instantly comfortable with her in my home and handling my puppy. I would trust Izzy with my pup at any time/place. It has been a blast getting to know not only my puppy through our training, but getting to know Izzy more and all the helpful knowledge she shares with me. If you want someone who is working in their true passion, she's who you want to be around your fur baby. Winston and his mama approved!-Katy

Terri was a huge help with Bear, our blind collie/border collie rescue. Before we got him, Bear…read morehad a reputation for being hard to manage: leash pulling, rough play, hyperactivity, etc. Terri had him walking like a dream on a regular collar within 20 minutes of meeting him. She made me realize that Bear wasn't being stubborn; he just didn't understand what we wanted him to do. She also worked with Bear on ignoring our two cats. His initial behavior toward them was scary. Terri taught him to ignore the cats on his own, not just when we call him or correct him. We still need to work with him to cement that behavior, but he's usually a gentleman toward the cats now. Even when he slips, it's a low-drama situation. Terri is kind, calm and clear with dogs and people. She's an ingenious problem solver. I highly recommend her and Team Dog Connection.

Princess (1-year-old pointer/shepherd mix) just finished her basic obedience training with Terri…read moreand she loved it! Terri is obviously an expert with dogs and her gentle, patient style made it easy to understand and practice our new tricks. She emphasizes learning from the dog's perspective - how to find a language to really communicate with them. Even though we were part of a small class, Terri was so attentive it felt like we were getting one-on-one training. Nice work!

Pattie from Critter Sitter is the best animal sitter you could ever want.

You won't be disappointed. Sincerely, Copper and Maui PS We love Pattie!

Pattie has cared for my fur babies for over 10 years, and I could not ask for someone better! She…read moreis extremely caring, has always treated them like her own, goes out of her way to ensure they are safe and well and cared for, and is just an all-around great person. You will not find anyone better to care for your fur babies! She becomes such an important part of your dogs life and your family...I cannot explain the importance of the role she has played in my dogs and my life over the years. I would HIGHLY suggest her to anyone who needs their fur babies cared for above and beyond anything you'd expect from a pet sitter!

I can't say enough great things about Barry and his breeding business. We got our first bulldog…read morefrom another breeder but only because ABEBD didn't have any pups available when we were looking. Barry was more than happy to help us even though we weren't buying from him. He even met us at the airport when we picked up our baby girl. He has always answered our questions regardless of being his customer or not. We have recently invested in our 2nd bulldog and this time our baby came from Barry at Arizona's Best English Bulldogs. Our fur baby is of great quality, great tempermant and Barry even took the time to register him with AKC, sent a box full of goodies for him and even microchipped him before he came home with us. We are constantly getting great materials for reading on the breed sent via email as well as follow up texts and calls. We visited the location where the puppies are breed and it was nicely kept and the condition of the puppies were excellent. Barry doesn't run a puppy mill by any means, rather a clean and safe place for the puppies to live their first few months before they go off to their forever homes. Not just anyone can get one his babies either, Barry makes sure the right families get the right dog for them. He truly cares about his animals and it shows. I would highly recommend ABEBD. In fact we are already planning on our next baby. Don't waste your time or money on these designer bulldogs that are being breed for colors and other features, an overpriced dog does not make it the best dog. Do your research before you invest. We did and we sure are happy and satisfied.

I met Barry and his puppy, Billie, randomly at the beginning of 2019. I have had three bulldogs…read moreover the years and there is just something about bulldog parents - we began talking and I was amazed at all the information he shared about the breed. His love of bulldogs is contagious! I always knew I wanted to bring another bully home (my last boy lived until almost 15!) but I wasn't sure when. Barry was willing to answer all my questions for months as I considered adding to my already big family! We had three german shepherds at home at the time - one of which is employed by the city of Phoenix (you know what he does for a living! ;) ) Anyway, I can't even express how much I appreciated everything that Barry taught me about the breed without being pushy. He really wanted me to be ready and he kept reinforcing that I would know when the time was right. When my husband and I finally decided yes, Barry helped me find the perfect little girl to bring into our family and we could not be happier. I would recommend Barry in a heartbeat to anyone who is looking to bring home a bulldog or to anyone who just wants more information. Over the many years that he has been breeding, he's amassed a wealth of information on the breed and he is always willing to share that knowledge. They say it takes a village to raise a bulldog and from my experience, that is true. I feel very lucky to have met Barry and to have him on my team. If you're serious about the breed - Barry is hands down, the ultimate authority and he will help you find the perfect bully for your family.

She sticks to their routine, keeps me updated, and the boys are always happy and relaxed when I get back. That tells me everything I need to know. She's reliable, communicates well, and I never have to worry while I'm away. It's a family-run business and it shows in the care they put in. If you want someone you can trust with your pets and your home, call these two. Highly recommend!
