New Years eve my almost 17 yo Pug Maia is having trouble breathing, my vet is closed, emergency vet…read moredidn't open for another 3 hrs. I was in a panic. Then I remembered I boarded my dogs here a couple weeks prior,. I called & was told to bring her in now. Dr Schwarz comes into exam room,gives her a look over then listens to her heart & says I need to take chest Xray now. I knew @ that moment from the very concerned tone in his voice & the look on his face that my girl wasn't coming home. After he gave me a detailed explanation of the X-Ray he brought me to her. 2 of his staff were standing over my girl,one giving oxygen & slowly petting her & talking to her, the other also petting her, it appeared were assuring Maia they were with her. I had to make the decision to let my furbaby go. Dr Schwartz gave her the 1st shot & I was able hold her, hug her, stroke head talk to her, until the end. As upsetting & heartbreaking this was Dr Schwartz (who is not my dogs vet) could not have been more wonderful, compassionate, or empathetic. And this extends to all the staff who were there. I want to say THANK YOU for making this very upsetting situation "tolerable" with the kindness you extended to me, I deeply appreciated it. A few days later I get a sympathy card from Dr Schwarz w/ doggy footprints. Thank you, again Most deserving of a 5 -Gold Star rating

This vet is an absolute SCAM. Do NOT bring your pet to this so called "vet" if you're looking for…read moreone! First of all, they will scam you into services your pet does not need. Following the doctors initial exam, he will leave the room, send in a vet assistant a half hour later with an itemized bill for a host of services and labs you do not need and did not come for. THEN they will negotiate the price for you as the vet assistant leaves and comes back to the room several times to negotiate down with the doctor. The process is hours long and painful. As if that's not bad enough, I was denied a copy of my pets prescription for food that he was prescribed BY THEM and was all out of - because they wanted him back in for another visit before they would give me a copy of the prescription!! And I told them he was out of food and needed it! Unreal. What if he gets sick? They do NOT care about your pets and exist solely to make money off of you! Be warned. I have reported this vet and will be following up.

He and his fabulous assistant, Stephanie, take such good care of your pets that you will know immediately that you have found the right vet. Your pets will know it, too. My dogs actually pull me to get inside the office after we park, because they never feel stressed while they are being treated. They feel like they are just visiting friends. If I had to recommend them based upon one trait, it would be their empathy for your pets and you. They know that your pets are not just pets, but valuable members of your family, and they treat them as such.

I can't recommend Nancy at Know Your Dog Training highly enough…read more After doing extensive research to find the right trainer, I'm so glad I found Nancy. From the beginning it was clear that she has a deep understanding of dogs and brings a calm, confident, and professional approach to everything she does. My dog Kane completed a training program with her, and I was extremely impressed with the experience and the results. Nancy takes the time to truly understand each dog and provides the kind of structure, guidance, and consistency that helps dogs thrive. Since then, Nancy has also become my trusted go-to whenever I travel. Knowing Kane is in her care gives me tremendous peace of mind. He always comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. What really sets Nancy apart is the level of attention and personalization she provides. This isn't a typical boarding situation -- she genuinely gets to know the dogs she works with and creates a thoughtful, structured environment for them. Nancy is trustworthy, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. I'm very grateful I found her and would recommend Know Your Dog Training without hesitation to anyone looking for a skilled trainer or a safe, reliable place for their dog while they're away.

Nancy was referred to me by another trusted dog trainer I worked with in the city, and I'm so glad…read moreshe was. Having a city dog isn't easy -- our 4-year-old Wheaten Terrier (female) has tons of energy, a stubborn streak, and some anxiety and reactivity issues around other dogs. We were looking for help with leash training and overall confidence, and Nancy was the perfect fit. From the very first interaction, Nancy was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She clearly loves what she does and cares deeply about every dog she works with. I enrolled our pup in a month-long board-and-train program while I was getting married, and Nancy made the experience completely stress-free. She stayed in constant communication, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that showed the progress and the specific behaviors being worked on -- plus advice for us as owners to reinforce at home. When our dog came back, the difference was night and day. She's calmer, more responsive, and walks beautifully on a leash with far fewer distractions. Her reactivity around other dogs has improved dramatically, and she seems much more confident overall. Even after the program ended, Nancy went above and beyond -- she included additional follow-up lessons at no cost and still checks in to see how things are going. Her board-and-train setup is amazing too: the dogs aren't kept in kennels but get to enjoy the outdoors, sunshine, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I can't recommend Know Your Dog and Nancy enough for anyone looking for dog training, board-and-train programs, or boarding with a personal touch. Nancy truly changed our dog's behavior -- and our lives -- for the better.
