This is long so please bear with me. We travel with our dog whenever we can. Prior to leaving…read moreMiami I had made reservations for Buoy at a doggy daycare in Austin. I thought because I had a reservation that meant I had a reservation... apparently not. I was supposed to call a day in advance to confirm my reservation but since I had not done this my reservation was cancelled. Buoy is a yellow lab, very socialized, but I thought SXSW might be a little too much for him. Having discovered in a very unpleasant manner that we had no place to leave Buoy I began calling all of the pet sitters that I could find to sit with him at the hotel. Everyone was booked solidly due to the spring break. One of the pet sitters I called was Anne at Ace Pet Care. She patiently listened to my situation and explained that she was also booked solidly but asked me to give her 5 minutes to see if there was anything she could do for me. At last, someone was helpful. Anne called back in 6 minutes (but who's counting?) she told me that her brother-in-law was visiting and that he would be glad to sit for Buoy but that he wanted Buoy to be brought to Anne's home. Anne said that if Buoy would get along with her dogs that she would make an exception for us and provide doggy daycare for Buoy. We brought Buoy to meet Tems and Batsi. All the dogs got along great. Her dogs are very socialized too and Cliff is extremely knowledgeable and professional in introducing new dogs to each other. We were immediately impressed. Anne was very accommodating even going so far as to show us around her house. My SO was very pleased to see how clean it is. I was delighted with the size of their huge, fenced backyard. Still, we didn't really know Anne or Cliff and after dropping Buoy off we made plans to drop in unannounced to see how he was doing. The first time we stopped by we interrupted Cliff throwing a Frisbee for the dogs in the yard. This is one of Buoy's favorite games. Both he and Batsi were chasing the Frisbees with Tems running along beside. Anne's brother-in-law invited us in, offered us coffee as we watched the dogs playing. Anne sat with us to answer any questions we had. We wound up staying for an hour talking to her brother-in-law about things to do in Austin, and getting restaurant suggestions for lunch and dinner. Each evening when we picked Buoy up he was pleasantly tired and relaxed. He never needed more than a short walk prior to bed. He had been fed, petted, brushed, given fresh water and plenty of play all day long. Anne's brother-in-law even took him for long walks. Each morning Buoy looked forward to staying with Batsi and Tems and he would get excited as soon as he recognized our route to Ace Pet Care. Both Anne and Cliff are the most customer-service oriented people I have ever met. They went above and beyond anything I could have expected. They clearly love dogs and enjoy caring for them. I have seriously never met a better pet sitter or kinder, nore accommodating people. Buoy had a really great time, was treated like royalty, and I am very happy. Our bad experience with the other doggy daycare turned into a stroke of luck as it led us to Anne and Cliff. I highly recommend Ace Pet Care. I have already made my reservation with them for Buoy next year.

A focus on "dog culture" vs "human culture," reading dogs' body language, effectively communicating…read morewith dogs, and shifting the energy between you and your dog gives the Naked Dog's programs a "dog whispering" feel. It's much more wide ranging than training that's only focused on commands like sit/stay/down/etc (though you can work on all of those with the Naked Dog's programs too). Before we signed up for the group training series, I was at my wit's end with our recently adopted dog. He had a lot of behavioral issues, ranging from chewing things in the house, overall excitability, constant attempts to eat pecans and, worse, trash on walks (and often succeeding despite our best efforts & requiring steady doses of probiotics and even a vet visit to induce vomiting), and lunging on leash at dogs and passing vehicles. We also noticed that when we took him to the dog park, he'd play really rambunctiously and generally go 0-60, including running and body checking other dogs (not the best strategy for harmonious playing). The great part about this series is that it's three in-person sessions (we added a fourth for some additional coaching) and the rest is a series of online lessons. This made it easy for us to work through at our own pace. In the online portion, the end of every lesson included video homework that we'd send in and get feedback from one of the Naked Dog trainers -- this was great because it captured us applying these skills in a total real world setting, without the presence of a trainer to coach us or influence our dog to be on his best behavior. Fast forward a couple months, and now we feel confident that we can handle any situation with our dog, including taking him to busy and distracting environments and responding to misbehavior. He's mellowed out so much -- he isn't perfect, but it feels like we've reached an understanding. He went from my problem child to my sidekick. He can walk in a heel, he comes when called, and will wait at the door before we say he can come in. It feels like he's looking to us as leaders and that he's truly settled in as part of our family. We followed the Naked Dog's recommendations for introducing dogs for the first time when we took him over to a friend's house to meet their dogs, and they remarked on what a good dog he is, and that he's better behaved than other dogs they've petsitted, so now we have a worry-free petsitting option. I also now take him by our neighborhood park on walks and let him meet other dogs, which used to be a wild activity full of leash pulling and jumping. The Naked Dog taught us what to look for in reading dogs' behavior so that we can spot polite vs rude behavior and manage their interactions before they start getting too wild, which is a truly priceless part of this training seminar.

Transformative Online Training, Truly Beyond Words!…read more We are so grateful for Allegra and her incredible online training program. We took in two stray dogs who were wild, anxious, and completely untrusting. We weren't sure where to begin and it was chaotic for us, until we found her. Through her online courses and virtual sessions, she helped guide us step by step with patience, wisdom, and a technique that honestly goes beyond words. Even though we never met in person, her presence and deep understanding of animal behavior came through in every interaction. With her support, our dogs have started to trust us, calm down, and settle into their new life. The change has been remarkable. It feels like a miracle to see them open up and begin to feel safe and loved. If you're dealing with fearful or reactive dogs, do not hesitate to work with Allegra. Her approach is compassionate, intuitive, and truly life-changing. Thank you, Allegra, so much!!

I picked up my dog & he was so high energy (unusual for him, unless he hasn't gotten exercise in days).

Out of all the pet supply stores in Austin, Healthy Pet hands down wins without any competition…read more There are 5 locations conveniently located throughout Austin. From the five (three of which I've been to), the Seaholm location always has the more diverse variety of dog food. Our go to brand the kids haven't stopped enjoying--Nutrisouce Pure Vita, which uses limited ingredients for sensitive tummies. The only caveat to this location? If you're coming in, parking is horrendous due to its location in Seaholm-- especially when you're carrying out a 25 lb bag of dog food each month. They need at least a 5 minute parking zone designated for pickups! Do yourself a favor, take advantage of their free local delivery instead

It is important to note that Healthy Pet provides free local delivery based on a spend threshold. Healthy Pet also sponsors seasonal events like photos with Santa.
