She asked for my children to be present and ready to learn, but also asked to have a back up plan (baby sitter) because kids can be "needy". Instead they were on their electronics the whole time in their room while my husband and I spent 2 hours listening to her talk our ears off. We had to reschedule a 4 o'clock appointment because of her family matter, which I understand. She had us rescheduled for a 6 o'clock appointment. I explained to her that late in evenings are hard for me, and earlier would be better. I had a brain aneurysm and i struggled mentally when I am tired. She wasn't flexible The only reason I am giving 2 stars, is because she did give us a few helpful tricks that could have taken 10 minutes vs. 2 hours. She should have included my kids.

We…read morebrought an F1 Sheepadoodle puppy into our home with no experience or knowledge, about how to do so successfully. My husband found Linda and her In Relation with Dogs website, and immediately I was grateful. Her website describes perfectly her attitude and approach to animal behavior and the importance of building a relationship between you and your pet. Linda's Puppy Training introduced us to this basic shift and approach to animal behavior, and the role of a pet in the family. Through private lessons at our home, Linda was able to educate, model, and practice training skills with each person in our family. She was able to observe our different levels of understanding and styles, our interactions with our puppy, Otis, and see the environment in which we live. She respectfully and supportively instructed us in specific moments of interaction and became a valuable resource for our entire family. Linda has years of experience and education, and shares her knowledge in a respectful and considerate way. Linda has accompanied us on a training journey that continues to evolve. We now have plans for Otis. We think about his needs, and consider him, completely differently than we had before working with Linda. We continue to learn, and Linda continues to be available with a genuine interest and love for what she does. In Relation with Dogs is much more that a puppy or dog training course. It is an opportunity to consider a new approach animal (and human) behavior. Linda inspires us to develop positive relationships, establish new habits or modify behavior patterns, and consider that positively reinforcing behavior, certainly doesn't just apply to dogs.

Yeah...no. I love the idea of an indoor dog park but the reality, at least for this dog park, is…read morethe smell that people have already mentioned in the reviews. I figured there would be a smell, we are talking about animals, but the stench of urine in the play area is so strong we barely lasted 10 minutes. I have never experienced this strong smell at the vets or the groomers. Perhaps better ventilation would help. Or more thorough cleanings? I'm not sure I do not know what they do to keep the place sanitary but it's not working. Upon arrival with our puppy and two kiddos, we were told right away that because we had children with us he could not play in a room with other dogs for liability reasons. This makes sense but we were not aware of this rule and honestly it defeats the purpose for us. We want him to have interaction with other dogs, but also to be able to be available to play and protect him. In fact, they recommend that children do not come at all. If you do venture here, I suggest bringing your own toys and possibly a bowl or some kind of way to give your pup a drink. They provide bags for picking up poop. There were a couple of balls in the room, but they were wet and disgusting. The staff we met were very kind, and I hate to leave a review like this, but we will not be back. They do offer babysitting and grooming and have self grooming stations. Tucked right off of O street near the Asian Community Center. You also must provide vaccination records before playing. The vet was able to fax it over right away for us.

If you read most but not all the other reviews, they are written by people who had not even seen the dogs improvement and were like me hopeful for results. Yes Mr. Dove is enthusiastic and very good at convincing you otherwise. However his many yrs in business-FALSE maybe working with friends dogs but has less then 1 yr as a NE registered business. He claims to be BBB accredited-FALSE Not only not accredited he has to unresolved complaints soon to be 3. They will spend all these hours working with your dog-FALSE They spent 2 hrs a day. After receiving a log the first day via text messages of services times. And the kennel is almost to Lincoln so someone isn't even available at all times to address issues as they arose. They claim they will work with you an integrate dog back into home. FALSE-My dog was dropped of by another trainer and when questioned about training she was supposed to receive in regards to destructive chewing, barking, digging etc. she said how she knew nothing about that she worked with her on sit and a stay. But she couldn't even demonstrate my dog had learned that. Not one behavior was improved within the first hr she demonstrated them all on video. Except barking not sure if she barked so much at the kennel or if something else happened to her but she could barely get out a bark. Although she wanted to. She now tries to bite if your work with her on commands and everyone will tell you she was the most cuddly dog before, (employees even made that comment and how loveable she was) As you can see my list can go on and on. My concerns with training were fully expressed before hand and he said if he felt he couldn't make changes with her he would call 2-3 days in and send her back so I didn't waste my money. They gave me false reassurance that I wouldn't be out $1600.

Specifically Willie Dove (owner).I first contacted Willie Oct 12. about service dog training classes for my pup. We had the initial meet & greet and everything seemed to go well. I signed the contract and paid the outrageous amount of $1600. for the 4 week "couch potato" program. At first, Willie appears to be very well spoken & knowledgeable but don't let that fool you. It's all fake. He is the most unprofessional, & unorganized person I've ever had to deal with. When we initially met he had asked me to fill out this questionaire form before we started the program and when I told him I didn't have access to a printer right away he told me he would print it out and bring it to me. He never did. Then he said he would mail it to me. He never did. So now the trust is broken. Our very 1st session was supposed to be Oct. 26 at 9 am. By 9:15 when he hasn't showed I texted him and said you were supposed to be here at 9 and he says oh I'm sorry I thought I had you scheduled for 11. Well that was my turning point. I told him I wanted to cancel my contract & to please refund my money. Well he tried to come up with reasons & explanations to stay on including that his daughter was in the ER the night before with covid- but I had seen enough- I was done. He tried to tell me that there would be no refund once service started but I had to tell him no service has started. Then he told me I was only eligible for 1/2 my money back. Wow! ... so I fired him due to his incompetence & now I feel robbed of $800. As much as I didn't want him to keep that money I signed a contract so that's on me. Fine! Take the $800 and send me my refund. People, it took him until today Jan 18th to FINALLY get my refund and that's after I had to threaten to sue him and take him to small claims court!! He played word games with me and told me he mailed the check- the check was returned, blah blah blah- any excuse he could give to procrastinate and evade paying me back! This company is a FRAUD! He's a FRAUD!! I think he doesn't even own dogs!! His main job is at Forest Lawn cemetery!! If you are looking for a experienced, knowledgeable, & trustworthy company for dog training I HIGHLY recommend United Paws. https://unitedpawsdogtraining.com/ I can't begin to tell you the hell and agony it took to get my refund. In the end, after threatening to sue him, he finally sent my refund through a cash app program and it took him all of 3 seconds to send it. I don't normally write reviews but I don't want anyone else who love their pups to go through this!! TURN AROUND & RUN!!

I caked Petco for a refund. The told me they would have to submit a request for a refund and they would let me know. I received a call from the Lincoln office manager, who informed me that she would have to submit a request but she didn't think they would approve the refund. I was not happy and told her I wasn't asking permission for a refund I was telling them I wanted my money back. She then told me that in order to get the refund I would have to show up in person with my ORIGINAL receipt. She was not kind on how she spoke to me. And I said I don't think I have it, just could she at least submit the request. I also said that they never told me when I prepaid that I might not get a refund. They have everything in the computer so why do I need a receipt? She then told me that I should have read the refund policy on the bottom of the receipt I'm so glad that I found out how corporate this place is... I made a terrible mistake thinking they actually cared about my pet. I don't believe they do...I think it's just another was for a big corporation to make money in disguise of pet care. They got my money so I will take my cats stool sample in and that will be the last dollar Petco ever gets out of me. I will not even buy dog and cat food from them anymore.
