I love that it is a low pressure environment, but still offering many options to add complexity if we choose. It allows us to set our own pace and be as rigid or lax in our training as we choose, or to give our pup extra challenges. We have a dog that needs to be constantly challenged, so we have done a combination of behavior classes and "fun" classes (agility/tricks) and all have been great experiences. If we say it's "time for school" our dog perks up and sprints for the door, so she clearly loves her time there!

As explained I have significant cognitive issues. I felt rushed to sign the contract as I was assured they did this type of training, while giving a large down payment. Later after looking over the contract thoroughly and having someone look it over for me, the contract was very concerning as there were no guarantees of any type of training and "service training" was no where to be found. I messaged Ethan the day after our "complimentary eval." and signing the contract stating I was concerned with the contract texts continued back and forth for the next few days where as I stated multiple times I wanted to cancel and to refund my down payment as services at not been rendered yet. He refused, stating I signed a contract and can not get out of it. No refunds. Training has already started. Even though no training has started and was not scheduled to start for a week after signing. I would personally think, especially given the circumstances, that the integrity of their business would be more important than this. I am now having to contact the Atty. General's office, the BBB as well as the ADA for assistance. I am on a very limited income and I still need to have my fur baby trained to be my service animal. My belief is that they were hoping this would be too much stress for me, overwhelming me (as I explained happens), therefore, I would simply not move forward as I specifically stated I would. I have however, given them ample time to do the right thing.

I contacted her about training and heard nothing. Moved on and months later met with her again to set up long term training. She agreed to this and then 100% ghosted me. We planned to meet biweekly and she never replied after I gave her a week to contact me and come up with a training plan. She gave herself a five star review saying she goes above and beyond for her clients but her unprofessional way of managing her business is enough for me to no longer use her. I am so apppalled that she fell off the radar countless times and doesn't provide follow up leaving me high and dry. I will not recommend her due to this. She is very expensive compared to seasoned trainers who charge the same or less and provide a full training plan and are excited to earn your business. Look elsewhere.

All the current active staff working at this specific location have demonstrated & proven how extremely capable & exhaustively knowledgeable as trainers, dog behavior specialists, groomers, etc. They have exceedingly created a trustworthy controlled environment setting that makes me reassuringly safe to entrust the safety & wellbeing of my 4-legged son. They have gone above & beyond for my puppy & I could not praise/thank them enough for their time, energy & effort to nurture my puppy's confidence & needs. Including assessing & addressing his trauma triggers being bullied as the "runt" of his litter, that occurred prior to his rescue.

Highly recommend to anyone wanting to cultivate & nurture their doggo-puppers development & overall wellbeing (with a heaping side of well deserved spoiled treatment)!
