Finn turns 1 year old on 8/15 and is ready for us to consider rescuing a sibling for her to grow up with. Thanks again for your passion, knowledge, and commitment Chuck and Erin.

The staff are great and very concerned with the animals' health and safety. Their training philosophy is totally positive and never punitive. They offer just about anything that you need for your dog. My Lozen is happily tired at the end of a half day of day care and she is always excited to get in the car to come to the camp. And I also have a 6 year old long haired chihuahua puppy mill survivor who does not like to be touched by humans and she needed a grooming very badly. We had a miscommunication issue on the appointment time and they went out of their way to get her groomed that same day so that I did not have to traumatize the dog further than she already was being in a crate. I was so happy to get her cleaned up and am glad that I brought her to Train Your Pup. I would highly recommend TYP and if I did not have an earth dog would love to try Splash Your Pup too!

I brought my pup here to see if he would enjoy swimming to burn off some energy. When you go the…read morefirst time it is easy to miss the road it's on as it looks more like a lane near the intersection. When we got to the facility the door was locked, I assume they keep it that way for their safety, but Julie immediately came out and let us in. The facility is clean and divided into a waiting area with a gated washing station and the pool area. I appreciated that they make sure dogs are up to date on their vaccines and ask for info on how to make the dog feel comfortable. Only one dog uses the pool at a time (maybe different for dogs in the same family) and Julie explained the whole process to us before we went in. Make sure your dog goes potty before you take them swimming. When it was our turn to go into the pool, we put a life jacket on my pup, since he had never been before, and let him up the ramp. He was very hesitant, but Julie had a lot of tricks up her sleeve to get him to make the decision to walk down the ramp himself. I like that they did not force the dog to do anything he wasn't comfortable with, and didn't rush the process. They are very knowledgeable about dog behavior, and she was able to foresee and explain what all of his reactions meant. We had a great orientation, and I hope to go back soon to see if my dog will enjoy swimming more the next time since he knows what to expect now. I highly recommend this place!

We rather reluctantly dropped our pup off last Thursday. We were going out of town until Monday or…read morepossibly Tuesday. I called on Friday at 4:30. They are open until 6 but no one answered. I was concerned about my pup because she is a pup and has not been kenneled much. I asked them to call back since I knew they were open. They didn't. They texted the next day, saying all is fine. We just picked our pup up, Monday morning. They charged us for Tuesday. I guess I get that. The thing I don't get is that they brought her out and then said, "she didn't have any toys or anything did she?" We has taken 2 blankets, 2 bones and 1 toy. She went back and brought it all out then but I don't believe they had given it to her. It was still in the bag we brought it in. Blankets were still folded. It would have comforted her. When I gave all of these things to her at home she was so excited to see them again. I feel badly about her experience there.

I would NEVER board your dog(s) here!!! My husband and i had to go out of town last minute and the…read moreowner said her could fit us in on a very busy weekend. I had taken training classes here with our dog and thought that we could trust them, as the classes were great. After returning home, we went to pick up our dog. First sign of something wrong should have been when the woman working there put on huge earphones just to walk in the kennel area. If it is that loud in there, imagine what it is doing to your dog. When our dog came out, he was very disoriented and and had dried feces all over his rear end. After taking him home and cleaning him up, he had raw open sores from where we removed the poop off of him. Prior to going into the kennel, he was very friendly, energetic, fun loving, basically one of the sweetest dogs you would ever meet. After returning home, he was extremely food aggressive and anytime that we would approach his crate when he was in it, he became aggressive...just not the same dog that we used to have. The only thing that I can guess is that he was put in a crate, inside of one of the kennel runs. He had to compete for food and learned to be aggressive. We have spent a lot of money trying to correct the behavior. If you love your dog, don't board him/her here. I wish I could have them shut down.

Finding a groomer is always so stressful! After moving to Dayton and getting my pup I struggled…read morewith finding one and ultimately decided to give Petco a try. Andrew M. has been amazing whenever I took my pup there. The first time we went he didn't try to oversell me and cleaned up my dog perfectly - even giving me a coupon for the service. He has always listened to my needs and created a relaxing environment for my dog. Most recently, Andrew called to let me know that Rex's ears looked a little inflamed and advised that I take him to the vet to get them checked out. Sure enough he had a bad ear infection in both ears! If I didn't have a grooming appointment I would have had no idea. I'm so happy with the service I am getting from Petco and will continue to take my pup there for haircuts. If you're looking for a specific groomer, Andrew is great!

Micheal has hands down changed the way we live with our beloved dog, Ace…read more We rescued him from a back yard breeder situation, he was abused , attacked by many dogs and was an incredibly nervous/fearful dog with absolutely no manners. He use to pull us on his walks, run away once the front door opened and absolutely NO CONCEPT of recall. After completing Michaels board & train program - ace came back to us as a completely different dog. He walks in a perfect heel, he walks with his head held high & happy tail wag posture, he no longer darts out out the house and looks to us for a command. Not only has Micheal given Ace the confidence he needs to live his life as a happy dog, but he gave us the tools we needed to live in harmony with our dog. I'm no longer dreading to take Ace out for walks, it's actually one of my favorite things to do. There are no such thing as "bad dogs" Just need the right trainer and with the dedication to make your dreams come true. We seriously appreciate Micheal and his expertise so much. (P.s) Ace loves Micheal, a dog who was once super fearful of men. That's all you need to know!

First off, I'd like to start off by saying that Micheals board and train program has been one of…read morethe best investments I've done in my lifetime. I've bounced around to many dog trainers in my life and there was always a cop out excuse that was commonly used: "Your dog is bred poorly" "Some dogs are just aggressive" "Your dog just doesn't have it in him" Which left me feeling defeated, frustrated and ultimately my dog wasn't getting the help he needed to live his best life.. But Michael was the only trainer that was able to get a handle on my GSD right off the bat. My dog no longer runs away, comes back when I call him and walks by my side with ease. Micheal has taught me so much about how to understand dog body language, how to time the corrections and help guide my dog to greatness. I'm a personal trainer and I'm now able to take my pup to my clients house, where he has multiple distractions around him (kids running, weight lifting bars slamming in the floor, basketballs being tossed around) Yet- he just sits in his down position and just observes his surrounds in peace. I couldn't recommend this man enough. It's life changing knowledge he shares with all his clients.

A number of professionals worked with us to find relief for our dog. They contacted our previous vet for us to get records and even patiently waited when "put on hold" to get further details about previous treatments. All questions were kindly answered, our input was welcomed, and we were included in all of the treatment (drawing blood, administering fluids...). Just a couple of hours after the appointment, we were emailed a detailed (4 pages) document, recording all that transpired during the visit. To top it all off, everything was affordable and everyone was so very pleasant!

My daughter went in with her 13 year old golden retriever who has had no real health issue. In the…read morenight she had an accident and there was a lot of blood along with her stool. She took her in to see Dr. Callejo in the Springboro Office. I had taken my dog there in the past. She wanted $720 to do 5 ex-rays and NO blood work. After agreeing to blood work, she said what she was doing would not show signs of cancer at rate of $420. She said her annual office visit is $420 with blood work. The tech suggested on doing 2 ex-rays so it would be less expensive. Dr. Callejo refused saying she wanted 5 ex-rays. It then became quite obvious that Dr. Callejo was strictly out for money. When I was going there, the vet cared about the animal and was much more compassionate and willing to work with you. When your pet is sick you want someone that cares about the animal not just the money. She could have done 1 or 2 ex-rays not 5 and then determined what else was needed. I will never recommend them again. What a sad experience.

I wanted to learn how to prevent my rapidly growing big dog from lunging and pulling while leash walking. Jason showed me his training "skills" by walking my puppy with a choker chain collar. He FORCEFULLY yanked the choker to the point of lifting my pup off the ground. My neighbors who saw this, as well as myself, were outraged. When I told Jason he was finished, he tried to convince me to board my dog with him for 2 weeks. After the display of his training "skills" there was no way my pup would be anywhere near him. I literally paid his "evaluation fee" to force him to leave because I wanted nothing to do with him or his "training." Be aware he tells lots of stories about his past trainings and experiences and one has no way to validate anything he says.

I never thought I'd pick up my dog from boarding and find him underfed and bleeding, but that's…read moreexactly what happened at Petsmart. I boarded him over Thanksgiving weekend, and while the ladies working there were very sweet, there was a huge miscommunication on their part. I left his food with a clearly labeled 1/3 cup scoop, and he eats 1.5 cups per day, yet they assumed the 1/3 scoop was a full cup and severely underfed him. He clawed at the metal gate so much that his paws started bleeding, and no one told me until I called them myself and even then, they barely answered the phone. I had to call multiple times just to reach someone. Since they don't let owners see the boarding area, I had no idea he was in a setup that stressed him out, and I wish someone had recommended upgrading him to a suite with a glass door. When I picked him up, he was noticeably skinnier, had dried blood on his paws and even had poop on his back paws. I feel incredibly guilty, like he thought I abandoned him and let him starve, and I will not be boarding him here again.
