    My sweet baby Ridgeback!
    Joseph M.

    I brought my 12-week old Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy to see Meredith about food bowl and resource guarding. We were pretty worried before bringing her in, but we stuck to the training she recommended by adding treats to her bowl, having her eat special things like pumpkin out of the bowl while we held it, and also increasing her food portions. I'm telling you, starting the very next morning it was like she was a different puppy. We've been continuing to work with her, but now more than four weeks later, I think we've left this resource guarding thing in the past. I'm able to get her to leave even the most delicious possessions with a firm "leave it," and I always have something better in my pocket just in case that's not enough. I even had a friend comment the other day when I told her to "leave it" and she sat right down and looked me in the eye. They were very impressed. I can't tell you how much I appreciate Canine Phd for their help with my new pup. I'm so glad that, 10 years after we first met with my previous dog in puppy class, Meredith and Canine Phd are still doing this work.

    Hands down best dog trainers in the metro area. Instead of just training the owner they also help you understand why your dog behaves the way they do. They help you learn that a certain action from you will most likely result in a particular behavior from your dog. And they train using positive reinforcement not training collars or other devices. If they can train the very stubborn dog in the picture, they can train any dog!

    They are great. Meredith is a really good trainer. I've gotten a lot of great tips from her. The manners class is really good.

    On Friday, December 22nd, 2023 I had the most horrific experience with my Dog Dallas. I took him to…read moreRexy and Roxy's Buckhead, to get groomed at 7:30am. I was VERY specific online in the profile that I had to create, as well as in person the morning that I dropped him off, that I ONLY wanted the hair around his eyes and butt trimmed. When I arrived to pick him up at 3:30pm that afternoon, after just having a 90 minute full body massage, I was a bit out of it, and was in shock when I saw Dallas. He had been shaved down to his coat!!!! I was rightfully upset and expressed my concerns to the SUPER unprofessional, Manager, on duty! She did not apologize nor refund my money. I went the next day, and showed the SUPER unprofessional attendant, "Deshawn '' and he took photos of Dallas and asked me to "give him a few minutes" so I stepped outside. I came back in and he said that he called "Mia" and she said "you were rude yesterday" and he could not do anything. I was only "rude" AFTER she was blatantly nonchalant with regard to what they DID to my dog. It is WINTER and they (Courtney Fields) took all his fur off and WITHOUT my approval. So much so that his ears are no longer covered, and his sweaters DO NOT FIT HIM. In addition the cut IS VERY uneven, especially around his eyes and neck. My poor baby. Mia is incredibly rude and they have not issued my refund. I have attached before and after photos of my dog as well as the filth that was around the front office area. SO DIRTY!!! If I requested a FULL refund of $66.00 by the end of business on Tuesday, December 26th, 2023, and have not heard from anyone. DO NOT GO HERE! I am going to file a civil complaint in Fulton County if I do not get my FULL refund.

    FIRST of all I eally need to apologize to Tom for not writing this years ago !!!!…read more I have two of the most headstrong and opinionated dogs on the planet. They WILL NOT warm up to anyone and especially in their own home. From the moment that Tom walked in they were all about the cuddles and special time with him. When I am gone for extended periods of time its not just a matter of leaving my girls with someone but also leaving my home. I have NEVER felt worried or anxious about either when I knew Tom was on the job. He is incredibly reliable and so detailed about the care he provides. Our trips wouldnt be the same without the periodic texts with the most adorable pictures of our girls when hes there. Tom truly is a godsend, even at the last minute he has accomodated us. Sometimes I think more for the girls than for me :) I have tried a few other people before Tom and even gone the route of daycare. The girls have done ok in each of the situations but they have never been totally fine, with that neither have I. I can honestly say that if it werent for Tom I wouldnt be able to travel at all. I have never found anyone that genuinely cares about my girls as much as I do except for Tom. It shows in the pictures he sends and it shows in how at peace the girls are when he's here.

    Tom is AMAZING! We have a pot bellied pig that no one would or could take care of and Tom was up to…read morethe challenge. The initial visit went smoothly, Tom made us feel more than comfortable and immediately got along with the animals (Pig and Chihuahua) We went over the itinerary and he was very in tune and understanding of our needs. I was gone for a week and not only did the house look better than I had left it but the animals were happier and he had even taken out our trash pile in the backyard. He kept us posted everyday on how the animals were, MADE A LOG of daily events and even made a cute collage of pictures of the animals. I feel like I was there the whole time with my babies. If you are looking for someone who is respectable, responsible, and over the top great, Tom is your best bet. I won't trust anyone else with my pets!

    What's the old saying, "better late than never?"…read more In 2005 I brought my 1-year old aggressive, non-social, Rottie/GS pup, Ruby, to Kate Jackson and Jabula to get her on the right track. I adopted Ruby from a local rescue when she was 6-months old and it was evident that the first few months before I met her were extremely traumatic. Our "meet and greet" went horribly, as she wouldn't let me close, it took me 15 minutes to get her in the car, and she bit me in return. However, there was something about her and I knew we belonged together. I had a contract job in Hawaii early in 2005 that was going to require me to be there for the better part of a month, and I thought that this would be the perfect time for Ruby to get some formal training since I was going to have make accommodations for her car while I was away. Upon finding out about Jabula's 2-week "all-inclusive" program (or whatever it was called back then), I was ecstatic that not only would she have a place to stay for two weeks with company and activity, but she would get the formal training she needed and deserved. It was going to be hard to leave her behind, but after meeting Kate I felt comfortable leaving Ruby under her care. While in Hawaii, Kate sent me emails and responded to my questions about Ruby's progress. I was excited to hear that she was adapting well and learning how to behave. I couldn't wait to come and see her. Once I got home and was able to pick her up, Kate went over all of the training they did (place, heel, come, etc) in an hour long session with us and the results were remarkable! She was still definitely an Alpha, but she wouldn't instigate any altercation, played well with other dogs, obeyed all commands, and was much, much better around strangers that previously she wouldn't dare go around. Ruby passed in 2015 but she was the best trained pup I've ever had, and Jabula was instrumental in making that happen.

    if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I've been a client of Jabula for at least 15 years. Our…read morecurrent dog, Lilly, has been boarding there a number of times. She stayed again over the Christmas holiday while we were out of the country and the canine flu made headlines in Georgia. Kate and her team did a phenomenal job keeping all the dogs safe and healthy, as well as keeping their owners up to date on the extra steps being taken, including the mobile vet who was on call. We love Jabula and their entire team of hard working dog lovers. Thank you!!!
