I know that our dog will be safe and loved when she is in Elana's care, which is all I could ever ask for. We've worked with Elana continuously since 2019. In addition to taking our dog on daily off-leash hikes, Elana has also watched our pup for extended periods of time while we were on vacation, taking our dog into her home. We felt such peace of mind knowing that our dog was being cared for by Elana. During one vacation, Elana was gracious enough to agree to watch our dog even though she had her own vacation planned. She took our dog on vacation with her to a beautiful lake, and sent us daily pictures of the adventures she and our dog had. She was even able to get our dog - who previously had not liked water - to play in the lake! I think our dog had more fun than we did during that vacation!

In 2008, I worked along side Almudena for several weeks as her assistant for one of her group…read moretraining classes. I found the experience to be so rewarding and educational that I jumped at the opportunity to assist her again this year! Both aforementioned classes (basic obedience) primarily focus on the use of positive reinforcement via clickers and treats to train new or strengthen the existing "manners" of our furry students. Almudena's methods are sound and clearly effective. We've had nervous German Shepherds, an excitable Airedale, shy and withdrawn Lab mixes, impulsiveness...you name it. My observation, however, was that not only do dogs accept and trust Almudena, but they improve and in some cases show their true colors as stellar students! The dogs are responsive, interested, focused and often times learn new behaviors quickly. It's no surprise that they succeed when they are taught in a manner that makes sense to them. I believe that this is a result of her obvious passion for dogs and her dedication to studying them...understanding that they are emotional creatures and applying her knowledge of how they learn to teaching them (and their people) new behaviors. Not to mention that she approaches each dog as the individual that they are...we all know that there is no "blanket training/treatment" for all dogs. Almudena is an advocate for dogs and puts their comfort and best interest before anything else (for example, if a group class environment is not conducive for a fearful/highly sensitive dog, Almudena will suggest an alternative set-up so as to not further stress the dog out--a stressed dog cannot learn). After class, her clients regularly seek advice regarding particular behaviors of their dog(s) that may concern them or that they'd simply like to work on...their questions are never left unanswered or without a reference to learn more. Almudena makes herself readily available for questions and discussions, which I find extremely encouraging. I've noticed that her clients are quite appreciative of this, too! Her professionalism and keen dog awareness have surpassed my expectations and she's a pleasure to work with! And, I reiterate, the dogs absolutely love her!!

Beware of commiting money in advance to this dog trainer…read more On the website, and in person, Almudena states, " Before we begin training, I will give you my best estimate of how many sessions I will need to reach your training goals. In order for us to work together to reach those goals, I ask that you commit to (and pay in advance for) an agreed-upon number of sessions." I was very vulnerable when I met Almudena because I have a 6 year old dog with severe separation anxiety. After a recent move to this area, I was unable to leave him home alone at all without him going berserk and becoming destructive. After an initial consult, Almudena asked me to commit to 10 sessions for $900 to address Toby's problems. I told her that was too much, but I'd commit to 4 sessions, and I paid her $400 at the first sesion, with the following understanding (also stated on the website). "If we accomplish our goals before completing the estimated number of sessions, I will give you the option of receiving a full refund of the fee for the unused sessions or of receiving a credit for future training session(s)." I never got that refund. I worked with Toby every day for almost a month and finally had to resort to anti depressant medication to accomplish our goals. Almudena supported me through the initial process with emails, some of which were helpful and some of which were long, repetetive and off the point. When Toby finally was able to stay by himself, I asked Almudena for $200 back from my initial payment, leaving $200 to cover our initial training session and the emails. She's not going to refund it, sending me a list of every email she wrote, with times. All I can say is, "BEWARE" .

Dr. Jeanette Kelly is an exceptional veterinarian who provides exceptional care to her patients…read more She greets each patient and owner with warmth and enthusiasm, creating a welcoming atmosphere in the spacious lobby and waiting area. She is truly a "marionette without strings"managing each with complete empathy & professionalism . My black Labrador Retriever, Emma, underwent partial mandibular removal in March due to the presence of mutable tumors known as Canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA). Subsequently, an oral melanoma was discovered in her soft palate, necessitating Electrovet surgery. Emma has undergone four cancerous procedures in total. Throughout her treatment, Emma has been warmly welcomed into the clinic with compassionate care. I highly recommend Dr. Kelly and her team for both general canine care and cancer treatments.

The dr. only sent the ultrasoung images to his office, after all the money I was charged? they had to. dr. kelly DOESN'T get credit for that. Did dr. kelly tell me that my dog had/didn't have cancer when I was in her office, to my face? NO. It was written on her discharge papers. Now the dr. wants me to call her office to clarify my doubts and misunderstandings. She should have called me when I called her office and left a message asking her to call me. I waited for weeks and nothing. Now she wants to talk, after I went public. I was charged more than $4,000 dlls for a subpar service and unnecessary tests. The first vet that saw my dog said she had cancer, dr. kelly at the veterinary cancer care didn't disprove the diagnosis after all the tests and all the money.
