Jenn is so personable and friendly, and the way she presents her training has been so educational…read morefor me (like, it's game-changing when you can understand how your dog's brain is working), and her training is so much fun for my dog. My dog has been....... unpredictable when it comes to meeting people and other dogs, and recently decided to eat our couch. This is on top of barking continuously at noises outside and jetting out the door when it's opened (she's been skunked twice because of this). She DOES hear me when I used to tell her to come, but instead of coming to me, she'd wag her tail and chase whatever's more important in the back bushes. After just ONE session with Jenn, we completely re-focused my dog's attention and have since addressed every one of our concerns AND have recently started scent-training, which has kept our doggo super mentally stimulated. It's been incredible to see the 180 my dog has made and seeing just how much fun she's having, and I owe this to Jenn. Thank you for helping discover what I've been missing out on! ‍

I cannot recommend OLK9, and specifically Trainer Christina enough…read more My pup is 5.5 years old, extremely sweet, but would get extremely excited around other people/ dogs. We couldn't take him in public. When we'd have to take him to the vet, he would pull so hard (90 lb pitbull/ American bull dog, so he pulls HARD) that he would choke himself and make my hand hurt from holding the leash, and he would SCREAM/ bark/ cry when we wouldn't let him go up to people and dogs. He wouldn't tire out. He would do that the entire time. It was stressful as all heck when we'd have people over to our house. He would jump all over people, knock over small kids, non stop licking people, etc for about 15-20 min before calming down. If we kept him crated when people were over, he'd scream the entire time (I'm talking HOURS). It was extremely stressful. We did the 2 week board and train program with Christina. I'll be honest, because his issues seemed more like personality issues rather than not knowing commands, etc. I was a little nervous that our biggest concerns wouldn't be fixed. Him sitting, laying down, walking on heel, etc would be nice and all, but really what we needed was for him to be able to CALM DOWN around people. Lucky for us, we got the best of both worlds! My husband and I are blown away by the change in our boy. It's truly day and night. We picked him just one week ago. Yesterday I took him to the local Farmer's Market. He walked at a heel the whole time, not pulling toward any of the other people or dogs. We also spent multiple minutes at a time in a "sit" or "down" position just watching. This used to be a scenario where he'd be going crazy trying to get to everyone, but he remained calm for the whole 45 ish minutes we were there. Shortly after that, we had 2 new-to-Wesley friends come over to our house. I placed him on his cot before they came in the door. He jumped up once, but after I placed him back on it, he remained there and didn't move until I allowed him too. I thought for sure after I let him off, he'd run over and jump on his new friends. But nope! He walked over and let them pet him, but remained calm with all four feet on the floor and didn't lick them like crazy. He spend most of the afternoon just laying near us but not demanding attention like usual. He even stayed by himself quietly inside, while we were in the backyard (another first, he always wants to be where the people are) A total transformation!! Not having him for 2 weeks was definitely tough but Christina sent us multiple pictures and videos every single day, letting us know how he was doing and just showing us his cute face. She was quick to answer every question. You can truly tell how much she loves dogs and what she does. When we picked him up, we spent about 2 hours where Christina taught up how to use the e collar and worked on some training with us and Wesley together. The only thing I'm disappointed in with this training is not doing it sooner. I am in awe of what my boy learned at almost 6 years old and I truly cannot recommend Christina enough. We drove 5+ hours round trip for her training and it was so so worth the drive and the cost. THANK YOU CHRISTINA!!!

They use positive reinforcement for their training method. Midtown Mutts also offers dog walking, 1:1 sessions and pet sitting. My neighbor uses them for pet sitting and she loves them. You pay based on how many visits and the length of time you want them to stay. They take pictures everyday they visit to show you how your pet was that day. Pros: they have a membership and you can choose 1 or 5 classes a month. These classes don't roll over if you don't use them - I made the mistake of thinking they do. They have a calendar where it lists the classes, time and topic. The calendar is a bit clunky and confusing so it takes a bit to figure out how to navigate. If they don't have too many people sign up and you need help in a certain area, they accommodate your request. They have answered my numerous questions and been very patient. I can say my puppy REALLY enjoyed class because he was showered with treats also as a lab, he never turns food down! Cons: if there is a large class and the gym in the same business structure is busy, parking can be a bit hard to find.

A few things that went wrong with our board and train:…read more 1. Shauna gave me the wrong Venmo handle which resulted in me sending the deposit to the wrong person. Luckily, they were decent enough to send me back the entire amount ($500) after I tracked them down and sent them a message on Facebook. 2. A one month contract turned into two months. Weekly check-ins and picture updates turned into biweekly, and then none at all. I checked in after month one to see how my dog was doing. Shauna told me she was still "working on confidence." 3. Near the end of her stay, Shauna called to let me know my dog had gotten injured (foxtail) from roaming around their fenced dog area and was at a nearby vet. Fortunately, she paid for the vet fees. I got my dog back with a fresh haircut, a cone of shame, antibiotics, and a foot wound that took a while to heal. 4. My dog was pretty much the same when I got her back. She was still having accidents in the house. She was not able to stay in a crate. At. All. It's been a couple years since training and I yet to see see her more hungry than her first days back from Shauna. New things she learned were how to lay down, sit (we were already working on this though), and how to walk on a leash (without other dogs around). She was still reactive to the same degree. 5. No follow up for the 1:1 session. I knew immediately after getting my dog back that I did not want to continue training with Shauna. It seems like the feeling was mutual as she never reached out to me to do the 1:1 session promised in the boarding package. Considering what I paid ($2300), I expected more. Two stars for transporting my dog and how she handled the foxtail fiasco. My dog was only 9 months old and needed basic training with some minor behavior modification. I did my part as an owner to exercise and train her at home for months before sending her off. I was really optimistic about her training potential in Shauna's hands, especially at a young age for an intelligent breed (poodle mix). Lesson learned. Albeit, a very expensive one.
