Move over Dog Whisperer. We've got Elisa Segal, dog trainer par excellence! Elisa far exceeded our…read morehopes in terms of being a personable, likable, conscientious, knowledgeable and skillful trainer. Our dog, Duke, adored her within moments, and in our six short sessions he learned much from her as did we. I often need to be told things many times before the training sinks in. Fortunately, Elisa's library of instructional materials and videos helped to reinforce the skills we learned during her visits. They were short and to the point, very useful, and she would send them within hours of each session. In short, we had a memorable time as did Duke, and we hope to work with Elisa again in the near future.

I've seen instant results. Elisa's approach is transformative in training both dogs and their…read moreparents to achieve their highest degree of mutual support and happiness. She makes dogs smile!

Caleb is amazing to me and my girls. We recently moved into the Graduate Hospital area and I was…read morelooking for boarding since we had a wedding out of town and weren't sure we would be in our new place yet. From the first conversation with Caleb I was comfortable with his approach. He was thoughtful and wanted to know about our Golden Retrievers personalities and schedule. He even did a meet and greet before we moved it. His first experience with the girls was the day of our move into the new townhouse when he took them to start their staycation at Caleb's place. He is fantastic with the girls. He also is a great communicator sending lots of pictures and texts to let us know how they are doing. He is punctual and very accommodating and provided advice on groomers, vet and vendors in the area. In fact, when I needed some help with lunchtime walks while waiting for another service to start he fit us into his schedule. The girls have so much fun with him they now spend 1 daycare day a week with him and the pack. They are going to board with him again next weekend and it's like I'm sending them to family.

If you have a dog, you need to train them and especially with Opportunity Barks. If you're like me…read moreand you're one of the thousands of people now with a "pandemic puppy" then you need to start training that pup. I thought I could train her on my own and quickly realized I was in over my head. These people know dogs, love them and want to help you have the best relationship with your dog as possible. Opportunity Barks offers a wide range of training options. We started with the "Foundations" training course online. I bought the package that included one on one training sessions (had to start doing them via Zoom and then we were able to switch to in person). My puppy has responded SO well to training and also loved the puppy social I took her to (structured time for puppies under 6 months with a trainer present). I had no problems with communication with OP Barks. Whether it was a question about my package or training questions someone responded super quickly. Can't recommend them enough for anyone with a dog.

I also went to a play group at their Farm in Quakertown. It's nice knowing that my dog can play with other dogs in an enclosed area with professionals to keep an eye on them to make sure they play safely. I have taken a class with them and they are wonderful. All about being able to keep your dog focused and happy. They teach many things that help in the real world not just one on one. I also know many friends who have taken classes and have nothing but nice things to say. If you are looking for a trainer look no further!

For the mere price of $30 (less if you buy a pack of passes), your pooch will get a full day of daycare (as long as 7 am-7 pm during the week) including a personal walk at lunch and a REPORT CARD telling you who he played with and how he did during the day, it's so awesome! They also have a webcam, which generally runs, but not always, and they make some nice posts to facebook and instagram, but the report card is my favorite thing. If you are enrolled in daycare, they also offer boarding, and are generally pretty flexible and accommodating, though space is definitely limited. I highly recommend Ruff Life. I know that dog school has like 5 locations and makes a nice instagram feed, but the friendliness and flexibility of the ruff life staff really sets them apart. They always recognize me (and splinter) and dropping off and picking up is so seamless.

Let me summarize the main reasons why you should hire them. 1) They are VERY RESPONSIVE, there's nothing more frustrating than needing to make changes to your walk or book a walk for a last minute weekend and no one is responding. Whitney responds very fast and always does her best to fulfill your needs. She is very professional and has never let me down. 2) Walkers that pay attention and are attentive. I have had about three consistent walkers and they all follow the very specific long and detailed instructions I leave for my pups. Especially Bridget, she is wonderful and so caring with my dogs! 3) Petcheck technology, you can easily schedule/change, track the walk, view the walk report card, and see pictures from the walk. I also leave instructions and building codes on here, it's very easy to use and seems like Whitney checks it very often when you requests new walks. You can also leave notes for the walker that day, this is useful if there are minor changes or if you just need to leave a FYI for your walker. Let me tell you, I have gone through my share of crappy, inconsistent, dog walkers, and it can be very frustrating, but with Philly Fit Dog I can go to work with the peace of mind that my pups will be in good hands, and I can't say how big of a relief that has been. Thank you Philly Fit dog!!
