I will never…read moreuse anyone else, and in my opinion, no one else should either unless you enjoy wasting time, money, and your dog's intellect. As a former public school educator, his philosophy was the only one that made common sense to me in how a dog and frankly, how humans learn. If he is your first call, you don't need to make any other calls. If he is your last call, you'll be kicking yourself for not finding him first. He comes to the house, for 15 minute training sessions first with your dog, then with you. Guess what your homework is, 7 minute practice with your dog twice a day tops. Then, you are going into bookstores, etc. with your dog. I had a 50 lb 6 month Pitbull/Rottweiler/Am Bulldog mix. I could NOT physically walk him anymore. A leaf blows by, a squirrel, a child squeals and wants to pet the puppy...I was yanked off my feet (I am a single, 5 foot female weighing around 110-115) Our world was getting smaller and smaller. Breyers changed our lives in a matter of weeks. So now I get to experience all of life with my dog by my side. And I'll close with this story. I got a call on a Monday at 5pm from my Dad coming back from a UT football game. "In Hillsboro at the split, I fell asleep at the wheel, woke up rolling and the car is totaled and I need you to come get me." Two girlfriends came over, one is a super small Asian woman that's never owned a dog and the other is older and has only owned purse-sized dogs. Within 30 seconds, I taught them how to walk Presley, and I got in my car and booked it down I-35. They could not believe how gentlemanly and well behaved Presley was, he waits until they walk through doorways, they stop, he stops, one even took him on the elevator, and prior to training, he wouldn't let me do that! And they didn't have to know or give any commands, just his name. So if you want a dog that understands how to behave when you have guests visit, when you are out walking, when you wanna pop into a bookstore, and who ignores squirrels, has respect and boundaries, and who can think and problem solve for themselves, hire Breyers. Again, I am a CPA and I put my name to Breyers Lane and his company Breyers' Canine Academy, and he is the only dog trainer I will ever endorse.

    Bryers is a fantastic trainer. He helped us learn a completely new approach to training our dogs,…read moreand the results have been excellent. We now have a powerful puppy we can bring anywhere, thanks to his methods. I wholeheartedly recommend Bryers and trust him completely with my beloved Rottweilers.

Everyone that I have ever come into contact with has been simply amazing. My fur baby gets so excited when we turn the corner and he realizes where he is going and that warms my heart because that means he loves them as much as they love him! And I cannot say enough about the groomers!! They are over-the-top AMAZING! There are not enough words to express my gratitude for the way they love on my baby when they see him! All in all, this is THE BEST PLACE to take you doggie! It's definitely a diamond in the rough, and I am sooooo glad that I found them!

Instead, I witnessed behavior that was completely unacceptable.While I was there, I overheard someone using racial slurs while speaking to an employee who works at the business. Hearing that made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unwelcome. There is no place for that kind of language in any professional setting, especially in a business that serves the public. As a paying customer, I expected professionalism, respect, and a positive environment not to witness racist language being used. Because of this experience, I will not be returning, and I hope the owner takes this matter seriously and addresses it being that she's one of the owners so no other customer or employee has to experience the same thing.

While I was the one who spoke with him on the phone and would be training the dog, he insisted said he needed to meet with my boyfriend to do the session. Within the first 10 minutes he kicked my 15 pound shihtzu, who was only sniffing his boot, which was not the dog that needed training. Our concern is that our Frenchie cries when I'm upstairs, his recommendation was to crate her and let her cry, walk her on a choke collar to show her authority and not let her use a doggy door or access toys. Found his vibe to be abusive. He also only works 12-3pm and insisted we take off work to accommodate his schedule. Needless to say we had him leave after 40 minutes.

Any dog owner knows how stressful it is on the dog (and the owner) to be boarded somewhere new - especially an old dog. I found Joseph on Yelp, and I'm extremely happy I did! I really felt comfortable with Joseph after an initial phone call and brief meeting. He was very knowledgeable about dogs and gave off lots of good energy. My pup really seemed to take to him. Even though it was pretty last minute, Joseph made a way! I dropped my dog off and later on that first day, he sent me texts and videos containing updates on how well Simba was acclimating to his new environment with his temporary master. This was the BEST part. I trusted Joseph with a little piece of my heart, and he really gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my vacay! I will definitely call him again when I need doggie daycare or short term boarding.

For the first hour Lauren provided some good information and things to try with Darwin to help him. After that she said she wanted to bring in her dog for Darwin to be around, I stated I wasn't really comfortable with Darwin being around another dog and I didn't think it was the best idea. Lauren assured us that her dog Mable was extremely friendly and did not care about other dogs (Mable is a pitbull mix that is only 1 year old and about 50 pounds)! As Mable was brought in Darwin was barking and growling (his normal), and Mable was ok but then she started growling and getting aggressive. Her hair was standing up and Lauren said she was just correcting Darwin, so we just kept watching which was a mistake. Mable snapped at Darwin's ribs and bit him. We didn't see he was bleeding until she left. The next day our dog was very lethargic and sore, he couldn't jump up on the couch or walk with out crying out. Lauren did send me Mable's medical records at my request and was made aware that Darwin was bleeding. She did not offer a refund for the training. We already knew our dog has issues to fix, that is why we hired her, now he is even more scared of other dogs. The good news is he is healed up, but we will never use this company again. Please make sure to communicate what you want and you know your dog better than anyone else, do not put them in danger.

Shortly after bringing him home, the puppy was diagnosed by my licensed veterinarian with pica, a compulsive disorder that causes ingestion of non-food items. As a result, he required one obstruction surgery and was taken to the emergency room five times for ingestion of foreign objects during the three and half months that I owned him. This condition required ongoing management and significant expenses. I ultimately returned the puppy to the breeder as outlined under the contract, with a very tearful goodbye. He ingested another foreign object, and I could no longer afford medical expenses for the puppy after spending approximately $15k in medical expenses prior to receiving any insurance reimbursement at that time. In order to return the puppy, I signed a liability waiver and non-disparagement clause, which stated that no financial reimbursement would be provided, a new puppy would not be provided, and that I could not make negative public statements about the breeder. This whole experience has been financially and emotionally devastating for myself and my 5 year-old son. I am sharing only my personal, factual experience so that others can make informed decisions. I would be happy to speak with anyone who would like additional factual information or documentation regarding my experience.
