Incredibly disappointing experience. Before leaving our dog, we clearly explained our concerns and…read morespecifically asked Mark if he was confident he could train her. He assured us he could. Nearly two months later, he told us he couldn't. Throughout the process, he was rude, unprofessional, and condescending. The night we called to bring our dog back home after he refused to provide the contact information for the person he planned to leave her with, we noticed he was slurring his words. Because of how concerned we were, we asked for confirmation by text of when he would be returning our dog in case there were any issues. His response only added to our concerns. I would not recommend this trainer based on our experience. It's also worth noting that there has been a sudden increase in 5-star reviews in the weeks since Birdie came home, which stood out to us because we hadn't seen that level of review activity before.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Mark. He took in Kailey, a dog who had been considered…read morealmost impossible to handle. At the shelter she came from, only one person was able to walk her, and without Mark stepping up, she likely would have been euthanized. The moment Kailey arrived from Connecticut, Mark didn't hesitate. He immediately started working with her, patiently earning her trust and learning her quirks, her fears, and the situations that stressed her. What seemed like overwhelming challenges to others never became obstacles for him. Kailey had endured terrible abuse as a puppy, including being thrown down a flight of stairs, leaving her with deep trust issues. Thanks to Mark's patience, compassion, and understanding, she has completely transformed. Today she is living her best life and is now permanently boarding with him, where she is happy, safe, and loved. Mark doesn't just train dogs--he gives them a second chance. Kailey's story is proof of the incredible difference he makes. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Fabian at the Dog Wizard was able to turn everything around for us thankfully. We boarded Bear at the facility in US 64 and Fabian worked with him daily. What he graduated from the program he was sitting and lying down in his place every time we asked. Before training he refused to go on walks because of his intense fear. Now, we take him on walks around the neighborhood every day. Not only was Fabian effective but he has repeatedly offered to meet up with us to work with Bear for no extra charge. Every two weeks we also can attend alumni classes on a Saturday at local parks which helps Bear keep up his training. I can't say enough about how great of a job Fabian did. He saved Bear's life. We are eternally grateful to him for that.

Her instagram displayed great skills and a verity of breeds. We met with Julie and toured where the dogs would stay for training. After feeling at peace we decided to proceed. Each week we visited and went over what our dog learned for the week. At the end of the training he was obedient not only at home but on the street with other dogs and people. Our Shepherd kept up with everything he learned and of course we continue the training with him. When my husband and I are out with our pup we get asked "who trained him" and we share that Top Tier is THE best. It's hard finding a great trainer who listens to your needs for your pet and not being so hard on the animal. So we highly recommend Top Tier!

When we got them back they went from completely untrained to trained in every way! Door manners, in the car, on the leash, and other basic commands, you name it! They were crazy about food and now they will sit in front of food and wait to eat it when they are told. It's amazing! We then brought them back for a tune up when our son was born. It was awesome knowing they were with people who knew them and loved them. Our dog Charlie ran and jumped in the lake immediately! Happy as can be. A huge shoutout to Derrick! When our son was born 4 weeks early he went out of his way to pick our dogs up when we were stuck at the hospital. He truly loves the dogs and cares about the families. You can tell this is his passion and it shows through his work! Lastly, Anthony has been fantastic to work with throughout too! Due to him and Derrick we will continue bringing our dogs back here when we need boarding knowing they are in the BEST hands. If you're looking for a great training facility with the best people, look no further. You found them!

She has, however, progressively begun aggressive behaviour towards other dogs, and manipulative behaviour with us over the last year and we were at wits end to try to effect a change. Another local trainer who doesn't handle aggression referred us to Cheryl at Last Paw who met with us for an evaluation session within a couple of days. Cheryl quickly identified 'in-house' manipulative behaviour that Tessa was doing to control us and showed us how easy it was to begin to modify. We have booked several follow-up sessions to work on the dog-on-dog issues. Cheryl is an animal psychology professional, and I do not use this term lightly. If you meet her you will quickly learn how little most of us understand about simple bad habits in owner behaviour that enable all the undesirable habits in our dogs. She is very gentle but assertive and had our Tessa eating out of her hand in minutes. My wife asked her to move in with us. We look forward to our next session in a couple of days.

I realized that my review of Southeastern Guide Dogs isn't accurate now. Unfortunately even before…read moreCOVID-19 they removed their program that lets the public interact with their puppies. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't heartbroken by this. Playing with the puppies and learning about how they could grow up to be service dogs was such a wonderful activity. We did it more than once and just loved it. Probably a couple people didn't act properly and ruined it for the rest of us. In spite of this I still donate money yearly to Southeastern Guide Dogs. They provide incredibly trained dogs to help those with visual impairment, veterans with PTSD and other disabilities, and children with huge challenges for FREE. The dogs that don't pass the program are adopted to loving families. I miss those puppies but I still support them and their mission to help others.

Secondly, I approached SE for a dog as my service dog had passed and was told that I don't qualify in a very rude comment by the staff. I am a Vietnam Veteran, United States Marine with PTSD. I have problems with walking but that would not prevent me from walking with a service dog so trained. I spoke with a physician friend of mine who annually donates a lot of money to the organization. I don't think he will be supporting it this year. Sincerely Gordon Kuhn

I was asked if I wanted to speak with someone and when I asked who that was I was told it was the groomer. I said sure. While waiting I asked if they need to see the vaccine record and was told no they had it (thanks for letting me know). A woman came out of the grooming area and took my dog (but it wasn't the groomer whom I was told would be working on my dog).

They are very unorganized how…read morethey run their operation, to start they don't send any confirmation for your reservation and when I asked who would you like me to send the vaccinations to, they said you can email them, when I asked for their email address they said i can find it on their website, so instead of giving it to me i went and looked it up on their website and found the email address so i sent the vaccines to them in the email i asked them to respond that they received them, I got no response. When I brought the dog in (I was hoping that I still had a reservation since they didn't confirm anything) I brought a hard copy of vaccines to make sure they had them, I asked the owner Jeff if he received them, he acted like he had no idea what i was talking about, I then proceded to ask if they could bathe my dog before pickup at 11:00 am he said no problem. So when my wife went to pick him up he was soaking wet not just from the bath but they put him back into kennel run while it was still raining. My dog is a wheaten Terrier and the worse thing you can do to a wheaten is leave him wet because they can matte very easily. so when my wife called me upset because he was so wet I called the Kennel and asked to speak to the owner and the girl at the kennel that answered said he wasnt available. she then said "your wife was not very happy so i figured you would call" so I asked why would you not blow dry my dog? instead of apologizing for the misunderstanding she blamed us for not paying extra for blow drying services. I tried to explain to her that was never offered to me and if it was i would have paid the extra fee. She said i basically should know what services were available (fyi it says nothing about blow dryin or any other details on their website and this is the first kennel that has not dried my dog after bathing him) so after telling me its my fault I became even more frustrated with the situation and my voice began to raise higher and i said this is fricking ridiculous and she hung up on me so I called back thinking maybe we were disconnected somehow. she verified she hung up on me so i yelled this is totally unprofessioonal and she hung on me again. At this point i was just going to move on and never use them again. but a few hours later the owner Jeff called me, I answered it thinking we could talk and work this out. he proceded to start yelling at me and accuse me of using profanities at his employee , when i tried to tell him i escalated my voice but never used profanities he would not let me speak and kept telling me i did use profanities he then told me I can never use his kennel again (oh my what will i ever do) and hung up on me. to be honest I did then call him back and tell he can go f himself and hung up on him.in conclusion all they had to do was apologize for the miscommunication and move on, if they treat me this way who knows how they treated my dog while he stayed at their facility. and any reputable kennel would know you dont send a dog like a wheaten home soaking wet
