She did not fully groom both of our dogs, said she cut their nails...she did not. They were done…read moreso quickly that full grooming services could never have been done for both dogs. I've had dogs for many years and have had some wonderful, caring groomers who took their time and did a wonderful job. We won't ever be back and would not recommend her.

My 6 year old border collie had always been a nervous dog and did not like strangers around her…read more She would nip at people without warning, so we did not take her anywhere. Even though our family was pretty social, she was never part of our social life. When people came over, we put her in a locked room. She rarely went in the car anyplace, and going to the vet was a nightmare. Last summer, I turned Aubrey's world upside down. I got married and moved into a new house. This household included another dog and a special needs 26 year old. The first few weeks were stressful. Aubrey was very anxious and my stepson did not read her cues. There were a few bite incidents and nobody could relax. I didn't know what to do and thought I would have to surrender my dog. I looked online and saw Kasten's Dog Training, which I knew to be close to my new house in Elkhart. I truly doubted that anyone could help my six year old dog. I called and scheduled an online interview. I remember feeling very optimistic after that first phone call. Right away, I felt like there was someone who understood what we were going through, and was going to help me keep my dog. I had nothing much to lose, so I signed her up! Aubrey participated in Program 5- Behavioral Modification for Aggressive Dogs and Dogs with a Bite History. She spent 21 days at Kasten's split into two sessions. After the first 9 days, I came to pick her up and immediately noticed a difference in her demeanor. She completed the second half of her training right before Christmas. When my son came home college, he was shocked to see how much better she was behaving. She had a new confidence and was no longer so anxious. She was a treat to take on walks and we didn't have to worry about her darting out the door anytime it opened. We have taken Aubrey to Kasten's for boarding several times in the past year. Being able to board her, and know she is safe, has been such a blessing. The fact that she was receiving refreshers as she stayed there was an added bonus. Before coming to Kasten's, I never would have even thought that I could board her anywhere. The trainers at Kasten's were so helpful and did such a great job with Aubrey. They worked tirelessly with her, and I could see the extra effort that they put in to get her to feel more comfortable, and eventually enjoy training sessions. Kasten's Dog Training has improved our family's life. We can now enjoy our active social lives and include Aubrey. She jumps happily into her kennel when told, walks on a leash like a show dog and even goes on trips to the hardware store several times a month. She and my stepson have a mutual understanding, and both of them feel much safer around each other. Making that phone call to Kasten's was truly one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Thank you to everyone at Kasten's - you have made such a difference in our lives!

Highly recommend! Lovingly took our rambunctious dogs and taught us how to be better puppy parents.read more

Had them order my new letric ebike for me. Very well done. They did the setup and inspection, made…read moresure everything was right before delivery to me. They had patience while working with me, until I decided what I wanted. Steered me in the right direction when I told them what I wanted out of the bike, always leaving me with a few options. Together we ordered the bike from the website and I paid the company it was ordered from, spun zone was then paid for set-up and inspection separately, not near as much as I thought it would be, then told me adjustments in future would not be charged for! Very pleased with this shop, everyone seemed happy to be a part of this adventure. Thank you all very much.

We were in town for a hosted swim meet. It is clearly posted all over the building that the gym and…read moreother areas are not in use when the aquatic center is hosting a swim meet. I don't really understand the reason for not having the gym available to members during swim meets but maybe it's to keep potential creepers from using the same locker room as minors. The facility is nice and clean and there was plenty of parking as there is a separate lot for event parking and the main parking lot right in front of the building is for members only and it is clearly marked. The aquatic center is very nice and has nice large windows that have a view of the St. Joseph river. The seats were much better than the usual flat bleacher seats that you normally have to sit in. It looks like a former YMCA that has been updated and remodeled.
