Megan is absolutely fantastic! I adopted my dog Harriet from One Tail at a Time, which recommended…read moreMegan's leash reactivity class when my good girl started displaying remarkable levels of aggression towards skateboards, motorcycles, older men, and any dog within a 50' radius. Due to COVID, we took the class virtually, and it didn't seem to matter at all. Megan kept the group engaged, provided real-time feedback, shared videos to demonstrate technique, and gave individual device as needed. She's compassionate, dedicated, and seems to truly understand dogs' motivations and emotions and how to train accordingly. Harriet and I have made tons of progress - we can get through 4/5 walks with little to no reactivity, which is a huge victory in just a couple of months. I'm looking forward to training with Megan again when we're ready to move on to more advanced skills!

The puppy class is a great start to socialize your pup with other dogs and new people in a safe and controlled setting. You learn techniques to manage all sorts of situations and set the stage for good behavior. The obedience classes give you the knowledge and tools you need to train your dog to behave well in any situation. A well-behaved dog can go practically anywhere and will always be welcomed back!

After consulting with our vet and other trainers, Sarah's name kept coming up as the best for these issues. Even with medication, it's Sarah's patient and easy-to-follow training methods that have made the biggest difference. He's learning to relax, is much more comfortable when I leave, and is overall a much calmer and happier dog. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone dealing with similar challenges!

Sarah took her time to tailor her approach to Odie's needs, devoting the first session just to building trust with him. After this initial session, she helped us make progress extremely quickly within just a few weekly sessions. She sent helpful follow-up information and is very available and communicative. We have seen a huge decrease in alert barking and attention barking, and although we are still working on the guest barking, we feel like Sarah has given us the tools and support we need to keep making progress.

Sally is by far the best trainer I have ever worked with, and the most knowledgeable. I've been…read moreworking with Sally for nearly half a year after my little buddy Jackson suddenly started experiencing separation anxiety. She was very patient with us, and was great at explaining everything we were doing, how to do it, and why. She has been incredibly accessible anytime I have questions or concerns, or just need a little support or reassurance. After 5 months, the results have been more than I could have hoped for. Jackson has gone from getting stressed within minutes of me leaving to being calm and comfortable alone for 5+ hours. Beyond the separation anxiety training, I've learned so much about dog behavior, nutrition and health from Sally. If you want to see real results, and you are willing to put in the work, there is nobody else I would recommend besides Sally. She's the best there is.

Wen and the entire team at Back to Basics is welcoming, caring and completely hands on. I felt confident in my little guy learning how to be less Husky/Shepherd mix crazy and more good boy. That confidence was proven right. My pup came so far in a matter of days that I was absolutely amazed. He was like a new dog and let me tell you, walks became a complete joy as opposed to the workout/mini nightmare session they used to be before Wen. Nipping , jumping on people and even potty training was no longer an issue. I received homework and videos everyday showing what he was working on so I could practice with him to keep the good manners and habits going far beyond the training sessions. If you are looking for a trainer, Wen and Beyond Basics is without a shadow of doubt the only one you will need. We love her and cannot thank her enough.

They even recommended Prozac, which dulled our dog's personality and didn't address the reactivity. We were feeling out of options until we found Jesse and Canine Perspective. He taught us how to properly use an e-collar, which contrary to misconceptions actually improved our relationship with Matcha, to the point where we are able to have her run off leash in fields, forest preserves, and among other dogs, while feeling confident in her recall.  This is the only place we trust to board and take care of our dogs, as they are the only ones who can provide the structure, discipline, and socialization training our dogs require. The entire crew is awesome with communicating with us and accommodating us during emergencies, and we'll continue supporting them for all our pups.

When I asked for any kind of muzzle breaks, they said no but that NOW staff will monitor his muzzle for skin irritation and rewrap it if needed - which as trained dog carriers they should've done in the first place. After being a client for nearly 1 year, this muzzle incident happened under their watch, and instead of trying to figure something out I was informed that they all of a sudden decided that my dog is "no longer a good fit" at their establishment. The owner Jesse is condescending and hides behind emails that he has the secretary send instead of dealing with any issues himself.  If/when a problem occurs seems they would rather cut you as a client over working out a resolution plan.  (If anyone from Canine Perspective objects to any of the above I am happy to post the emails they sent me that states all of this)

She was instrumental in Willow's basic training commands, as well as her reactivity to all things small (small dogs, squirrels and cats). When we added Scrunchie to the family, Alexa was our first call to help ensure he was the right fit for us and Willow. She has cured Scrunchie of mouthy behavior and taught him all of his basic commands. To keep our rough house players socialized, she's worked on a custom program for play dates, walks and environmental socialization. Further, she's taught us how to be calm, assertive and in control without hyping the dogs. She's as much human trainer as dog trainer!
