Beware, took my dog for grooming at Earthwise and she got either product or hair in the eye. I…read morenotified Kelly (owner) about it, she said keep her informed. As the evening wore on my dog got worse. She couldn't easily open her eye. I ended up taking her to emergency veterinarian. Vet said she had superficial Corneal injury. Ended up with pain meds and antibiotic gel for eye. Oh, plus she has to wear an e-collar for a few days. I talked with Kelly, she said it happens, nothing she could do about it. In total between grooming and vet spent over $400.00. Go there at your dog's risk.

I recently started training sessions for my 4 year old rescue dog Blue. She is a highly eneregetic,…read morepeople friendly dog; a pit bull hound mix. The biggest challenges were that she does not get along with other dogs and needed to be socialized and trained on basic commands. Several of my neighbors recommended Hope Lock and I am so happy that we are in training there. We first completed private lessons with Wayne. Within a matter of minutes, he helped transform Blue's behavior, and my ability to handle her more effectively. Not only did he help socialize her with other dogs, he taught us some basic commands and obedience, while being very supportive and complimentary of our progress. We then started Basic Training wth Missy a few weeks ago, along with 11 other dogs and handlers. I am so pleased with how well Blue is doing, and so thankful we had the private lessons first. Missy is also a fantastic trainer, I was amazed at how quickly she got the group in order, 12 dogs of all shapes and sizes, and not all well behaved yet. She is patient but firm and has great results. I am so thankful for Wayne and Missy and her Team and the wonderful support at Hope Lock. These sessions helped further my bond with Blue, and have taught me so much about how to handle various situations. I am looking forward to continuing our training through intermediate and advanced levels. I highly recommend Hope Lock!! They really care about their clients and dogs and make such a meaningful difference in our lives with our pets!

I am getting ready to register for the intermediate obedience course and wanted to take a moment to…read morewrite a review about my experience with the basic training class. We rescued our Catahoula Girl, Charlie, 2 years ago. She is very sweet natured but she was becoming more and more reactive to people and dogs. She weighs 76 pounds and is very strong. I had to get a handle on this powerhouse or one of us was going to get seriously hurt! She was starting to lunge at rabbits, men in hats, certain dogs, delivery trucks and something had to be done to protect both our safety! We had done a treat/reward based program and it only worked during class. Out in my neighborhood, where the rubber meets the road (literally), Charlie was completely uninterested and unmotivated by treats. She was much more motivated by her nose and her instincts! I was working hard but she was becoming more and more unmanageable. The first night of class, my instructor asked me if I wanted to try a pronged collar. This sounded so harsh and maybe even dangerous, so I said that I would see how it goes. Well, after 15 minutes of struggling with Charlie's willful behavior, I was willing to give that bad boy a try! All I can say is GAME CHANGER! They fitted my hooligan for a pronged collar and taught me how to use it correctly, so that it imitates the correction a pup feels from its mother. She grabs her youngster with her teeth and applies pressure to the neck and then releases her grip. Suddenly, Charlie was paying attention to me and she has been improving her focus and self-control, ever since. We are still working on socialization, but the experience has been an extremely positive one for us. I will give you one caveat about the instructors at Hope Lock. You'd better be prepared to put in the work and that includes weekly homework. These classes are not for slackers!!!

Hamm's is a groomer that also offers a self service dog wash…read more My back can no longer take bending over the bathtub with a 65lb dog, but he's also a very nervous dog so I can't take him to a groomer. This was the best option, there's a few places in the area that offer self serve, but hamm's had the best pricing model (we got the 5 wash punch card for $30). There is a lifted, deep tub, hair dryer, plenty of washclothes and towels and they supply all the washes you could need (though we brought out own due to skin sensitivity). We were shown to our own room and given a thorough but brief rundown of everything we would need. 10/10 definitely recommend.

I decided on VIP to take my dogs and went online to schedule a time. Booking a time spot online is very deceiving. I understand it's a walk in clinic but when you go to the website you can select your time. The site says you'll receive a text when it's your turn. So I select my time and head to the store only to find 3 other dogs and their people waiting in line. I ask if they're behind in appts and am told it's a walk in clinic which I did know, but thought that since they had the option to select a time that you actually would get that time or close to it.
