    Alex is an amazing trainer with great skills & patience for owner & pups. His individual & group…read moreclass as well as his stay/train pet sitting option for his clients are very informative, instructive and simply a blessing. I highly recommend Psypup's Alex for your canine training needs:)

    I recently adopted a 9-month old dog and wanted to jump into training right away. I retained…read moresomeone who lived very close to me and had great reviews, but after a few sessions I realized our schedules were not compatible; I was not getting consistency and reliability from her. It's important for me to make progress with my dog, so I Googled alternate options and stumbled upon Alex's page. I called him on a Friday and he picked up the phone right away. We spoke for a while about my needs and he came out the following Tuesday for what was supposed to be a 2-hour visit. I fell in love with him immediately, he is not only so personable and likable on his own, but he really takes the time to LISTEN to what you need and work on those things right away. I had mentioned my priorities to my previous trainer, but I found that she was teaching my dog commands that didn't actually accomplish what I was after. In our first meeting, Alex worked on SO MANY of my priorities. He got my dog to go into her crate on command, taught her to "stay," showed me how to "walk with" my dog better on her leash, and (using a 30' leash outdoors) started working on recall with her. We were so immersed in what was going on that Alex started to go a little bit over our time, but he didn't want to stop because we were making such great progress. I told him if he wanted to give me a third hour right then and there that I was prepared to pay for it, and he did!! I learned a lot of things from Alex myself during our first meeting, like how to employ the use of "deltas" (which my old trainer never once mentioned) and how non-verbal cues are arguably more important than verbal ones. Again, my old trainer actually discouraged me from using hand motions, but once incorporating them into my routine I noticed that my dog was much more compliant than she had been. Another positive difference between my old trainer and Alex is he really takes the time to teach you why he's doing what he's doing, and encourages you to participate. My old trainer just taught my dog a command and had me replicate/practice when she left. Alex really makes you feel like you are a part of the teaching process. After our private session Alex recommended some "Small Group Therapy" for my pup. He came at noon on a Thursday to pick up my dog and she proceeded to go on a several-hour outing with his two chihuahuas and a dog he was fostering. The entire time he was out with her he was recording and sharing videos on an iCloud album. It was INCREDIBLE to not only see everything that was happening, but to hear him narrate why he was doing the things he was doing. I could not get enough of his videos and felt like I was there during the session. On top of Alex's excellent communication, punctuality, reliability, friendliness, competency, and effectiveness, his rates are OUTRAGEOUS in the BEST way! I truly believe he is under-charging for his services. I can get three hours with Alex for less than I paid for one hour with my prior trainer, and I feel much better about the work that is done during that timeframe. I adore Alex, and most importantly, what he is doing works. He really gets into the mind of your dog, and has such a wonderful way of connecting with them and their needs. I am elated to keep our work going - my pup has lots more Small Group Therapy outings in her future and it's wonderful that I have the option to use him one-on-one to teach her even more commands in the house. One day I hope to move on from essential commands to more fun ones, like "roll over" or "go get X toy."

    If you love your pet, find a better place to take them. I brought my cat in for a growth under her…read moreeyelid that became visible after she scratched it profusely. I was told she had a tooth infection and a double ear infection. I had them administer the injectable antibiotic (that didn't change her condition and I had to get an oral antibiotic at the follow up appointment) I was told, 'she doesn't have fleas but she should be on a flea med'. I said, she's an indoor cat. Dr. Brown said, she can still get fleas. Needless to say, I rejected the $147 90 day supply of flea meds! Notice I didn't mention the doctor prescribed anything for her eye. I took her back 2 weeks later for a follow up appointment and her eye was the same. Dr. Brown ran more test that were negative and then said, there are cat ophthalmologist. If she didn't know how to treat her initially, that's what she should have said. The following day the staff called for a follow up. I had researched things online and asked a question. I was told, I'd have to bring her back in for a follow up to have my question answered! WHAT?! It was a yes/no question AND she was just seen by the doctor the day before. A money grab. I do not recommend them. Proceed as you chose.

    Took my dog to the grooming section, which was filthy dirty dog hair all over the floor three…read morepeople working and no one thought to sweep it up. The tables where the dogs are groomed were dirty as well. Had to ask the young lady to clean it off before working on my dog. I'd like to know where management was because no structure in this area. The staff just does what they want to do so one young lady fixing her hair and another one on her cell phone. I have to find another place to take my dog because service was not good.

    You know you're in the right place when your dog goes crazy as soon as you pull into the driveway…read more Plenty of space to work off his energy. friendly hard working staff. Great place!!!!

    My dog Chewy loves this place! We've been bringing him here now for about a year.. we moved from…read moreHawaii so it took some time to find a place that fit our crazy hyper active dog's needs! What did we like? Facility - We were looking for a place with an area outside that has actual grass and the other kind they can still play on that doesn't get them all muddy. The other daycare and boarding places didn't have much room for pups to run around or it was just a warehouse and no grass. I swear my dog held his pee until we picked him up and walked him to the grass. This place has lots of room to run around and make them tired! They've got separate indoor areas for doggies that either need a break, a nap or just wants to sit up front with the staff. Staff - The staff is amazing!! They do get to know your dog because they are all animal lovers and they know their behaviors! It's so nice when we walk in and they're already greeting Chewy by name. He loves walking in here, he knows as soon as we turn into the parking lot and just pulls us right inside! It seems they always have fun working there and there's always a celebration, like a doggy birthday or pajama theme day or something. Fun staff for sure! Pricing - very affordable! They do half days and full days. The boarding at night is well priced as well.. and we know our Chewy will be able to run around and play during the day. Grooming - they do grooming, baths and nail trimming too! Cons Only thing i was concerned about in the beginning was not any staff present at night time when you board your dog overnight... but the staff reassured us there are alarms and systems in place where staff would be readily available if needed. They all live really close by. So it hasn't been a problem for us at all! I highly recommend this place for all you doggy needs! If they need exercise, socializing or just doggy friends instead of being home alone.. this is the place for them!
