I had the pleasure of working with Betz in their Turn Key program and I was impressed! Evie is a sweet little pup, but also very stubborn and she took to the training immediately, and with practice at home on a regular basis, we made great progress! The counter surfing has ended, and she is getting much better with her manners as well as off leash recall. I also recently boarded Evie, and let me tell you- that was incredible. She went out 2x for hour long hikes, and I added on some boosters to reinforce her Turn Key training, she had a blast, and was exhausted when I picked her up. The staff is wonderful about checking in and sending photos both when training and boarding. I would and have recommended Dog Gone Amazing for training and boarding needs.

I'm attaching his response and raising my review score from one to three - can't do better as I really haven't even visited the place, but I appreciate that he made an effort to make things right: Good Morning Rob & Darcy: Thank you for your sincere advice. I apparently have not communicated as well as I should have and for that I apologize. Your comment regarding why we have dogs here for so long requires an explanation. Almost without exception every dog in our rescue has come from a shelter and was on the euthanasia list, usually within a 24 hour kill time. They have a variety of behavioral issues, either human and/or animal aggression as well as underlying medical issues, ie. hypothyroidism epilepsy, etc. It takes a long time for us to rehabilitate them. Many have to go to a home where there cannot be other animals, cannot be around young children, etc. In addition there are neighborhoods that have CC&Rs that are breed restrictive, weight restrictions, etc. Even owner surrenders many times have significant behavioral issues, mostly as a result of lack of training. It takes us a long time to diagnose the underlying issues, both physiological and psychological and begin the rehabilitation process. All dogs that we rescue receive a complete veterinary examination, in addition to vaccinations, microchipping, heart worm testing (if from CA). Some dogs because of their age, behavioral characteristics are just not good candidates for rehoming and so they end up on the sanctuary side, where they can exercise, play, and interact with us and our volunteers but are a risk to be out in the general public. We have had many dogs that we have been able to adopt out in a month or two after our evaluation and training is complete. Everything just takes time. On average we receive one to two calls daily from the SPCA, NHS, local and out of state shelters asking if we can rescue a dog(s) as they know we specialize in GSDs and working breeds. This is in addition to owner surrenders and occasionally we find dogs chained up and abandoned outside our property. So, we try to do the best that we can. I hope this gives you a bit of insight into our process and what we deal with on a daily basis. In closing I wish you best with your new pup and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Sincerely, Gordon Hutting Cold Nose Rescue & Sanctuary

I adopted a young border collie mix from the Humane society of Reno…read more I learned he had been adopted and returned twice before. I thought had bad can he be. Well, I found out. He escaped from my closed in patio 8 times. Walking him was a test of patients, every little thing distracted him. Other dogs were a major problem; seems he was mentally challenged by them. Holding him back took everything I had. I am disabled and walking can be a challenge for me. I had to do something if I was going to keep him. I called multiple dog training facilities, the Only one to call me back was Stephen from Real K9 Solutions. He took Shadow for 3 weeks. When the dog came back, I was able walk him with a loose leash. He no longer attempted to escape. On walks other dogs were still a challenge, but nowhere near what it was. I can walk him today and have him sit when other dogs are near, something I would never have been able to do prior to his training. Today I have decided to keep Shadow. In fact, he is quietly laying net to me. If not for Stephen and Real K9 Solutions it would have been return number 3 for Shadow. I can't recommend Stephen and Real K9 Solutions highly enough.
