We've had three different dogs go here and, when they first start...it's the same story. The dogs…read moredon't know what's going on at their first visit. And you see them struggle with a new situation. But after their first visit, you see them become more comfortable with their paws being touched and ears being looked at. And after a few more visits, they love their groomer and happily trot back with them! It's fantastic to see our dogs each learn to trust the experience and the groomer. To me, it means that when I'm away and they're being groomed, each dog has been treated with respect and handled with care. My dogs have all been large, and if they didn't want to go back with the groomer, they'd let you know my refusing to budge. Erin has handled our poofy Great Pyrenees and his immense coat with the same detail and expertise that she has given to our sleek Black Lab mix who has anxiety and dry skin. We also have a Komondor mix that she has helped with since he was a puppy ; helping to keep his nails, ears, and sanitary areas tidy while I do the work of creating his cords at home. They have been so understanding about his unique coat and we couldn't be happier! I appreciate their expertise and will keep going for all our needs!

This is the best investment you can make on the quality of life in your pet-friendly household. We had reached the final straw with our pup. She would non-stop bark at anything that moves, pull on the leash for entire walks, herd/nip at our toddler, lunge/growl at house guests while cowering at others, and further unruly behavior. We felt horrible and embarrassed that we couldn't control our dog, a dog that when just with us was the most loving dog we've ever encountered. We were not going to let a dog get the best of us, especially when it comes to our toddler. It was time for a change, we made the call to Sit Means Sit (SMS). We met Matt at our house and we were sold. His knowledge, his sincerity, his views on the problems our pup faces, and his effect on our pup just during this one encounter was all we needed to know that this was the right choice. We opted for the full immersion, and we could not be happier with the results. Her confidence in herself has improved greatly, her confidence in us as her master has improved greatly, and even when she lets her anxiety and energy get the best of her, she can be controlled and calmed in seconds. ​If SMS can help our dog break down her issues, they can definitely help yours. We honestly never thought we were going to make progress with her, we never expected we'd be able to walk her off leash, and we never though we'd feel safe to let her interact with our toddler. SMS has exceeded our hopes and expectations. You and your dogs quality of life will be forever improved. Just to note, there are three options of training available from SMS. From my personal experience and seeing the other dogs around us at group class, I believe that the full immersion training is hands down the best option. All training options come with life time group classes for you and your dog, available three times a week to fit into anyone's hectic schedule. Group class is completely worth your time to attend (we try to go to all three sessions each week) as it reinforces the training with your dog and yourself in a setting with others who are in the same boat of you. Everyone wants your dog to succeed, just as much as they want their dog to succeed. On top of that, the helpful one-on-one tips from Matt and Laurie further help you feel safe, confident and reassured in your training. They genuinely care about your pets, and our pup is so darn excited when it's time to go to class. This may be the hardest review that I've wrote to date, as words just don't do their service justice. If you're looking for great, passionate,​ people to help with not only your pet, but you as an owner, Sit Means Sit Waukesha is exactly what you are looking for.

I trended the first group training session which consisted of exercises of slamming a door on your dog's head to keep them from trying to run through as well as using your knee to keep your dog from jumping up on you when they see you. During the session as we were waiting for an opportunity to practice slamming our dog's head in a door, the owner Amy Ammon singled me out (from pop a line of 15 people), approached me and in one of the most condescending interactions I've ever had with another human being berated me and said, "no one is going to do this for you." Yes, Amy. I'm fat and when I take my dog for a walk (or training), I generally don't wear a business suit or even Lulu Lemon athleisure. I'm sorry if my comportment is detestable for you. But you clearly need professional psychological help and have exactly zero business running an animal training facility. Needless to say I did not return for any addition sessions. When I asked for a refund they refused to give me even a prorated refund citing that I was clearly an unfit pet owner. Please for the sake of humanity, the universe, and your pet's, NEVER patronize this establishment.

I have been training my dogs with Amy, Amiable dog training for many years now. I love the…read moreconcepts, training guidance and support given during each lesson whether it be group, private or even zoom, I have always learned something new and had great success with my breeds from Weimaraner, Chesse's and now Bouvier de Flandres X 3 now. I last trained this past summer and continue to use email and text for advice and guidance. Amy will help you get the best success from your dog according to their demeanor, behaviors and training needs. Treats can be used however, it's the trainer's choice and not necessary. What I love is that the dogs are trained with positive praise and reinforcement rather than treats if desired. They learn to respond to your voice and reward of attention rather than being tied to a bag of treats. Corrective collars are used when recommended but not required and not cruel or used for punishment. They are just that. Corrective, a reminder and help with communication. Amy explains and instructs on behaviors and rationale behind the dogs behavior which help you understand your dogs motives and needs more. She really spends individual time with real time feedback to clients. During each class, you will be working with your dog along side others the entire time with short instructions/demonstrations from Amy which means you get more real time working with your pup rather than listening to lengthy instructions and little time to work. I've really enjoyed the classes and have had great results. We tend to take hour dogs with us on many occasions, out to dinner, camping, parks, events and hotels and get much attention from others on how well behaved and comfortable the dogs are in their environment. Kids and adults alike may approach them as well as other dogs, even crabby ones on occasion and they are nonreactive and friendly. I will continue to train every year to keep the dogs engaged! I highly recommend amiable dog training to beginners and advanced as well. I also recommend for a consult for specific behaviors and wellness. Thank you Amiable Dog training for all you do!

All Paws in Dog Training is phenomenal. Brittany is a great instructor--thorough, friendly,…read moreknowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and positive. Our pups love her classes and feel comfortable with the environment. If you're looking for training classes for your puppy/dog then this is the place for you! Worth the drive, the money, and your dedication. Both you and your pup will do in-class practice exercises and lessons and you'll be sent home with homework exercises that are easy to manage until your next class. Class sizes are a decent size but small enough to feel personable and focused learning. The facility is welcoming, super clean and tidy, smells nice, and looks as though great care and pride are taken to maintain it. There is plenty of street parking right outside the entrance and surrounding areas in a calm environment. All in all, if you're looking for a great dog trainer then look no further than Brittany and All Paws in Dog Training!

The groomer said his eye was scratched already, which was a lie. I told the owner, With whom i met later, to check his surveillance camera from when i dropped my dog off. He apologized for the job, Said was a new groomer who had "some" classes in grooming. I don't believe a person with ANY training could do what was done to my dog.

I had a very disappointing experience with this clinic due to ongoing poor communication and lack…read moreof transparency. This was especially frustrating as this is the third pet I've brought to this practice, and I expected a much higher level of consistency and care. I requested an estimate for my dog's dental procedure back in December and planned my budget around the original estimate of approximately $600. While the estimate did note that pricing could change, no range was provided, so I had no indication that costs could increase as significantly as they ultimately did or that I would not know the true cost until the day of the procedure. On February 28th, I was sent pre-surgical information, but no updated estimate was included, which should have been provided at that time. My original March 4th appointment was then canceled by the clinic after I had already taken time off work. I did not receive updated information until March 19th, when I was finally given a revised estimate--less than a week before the rescheduled March 25th procedure--ranging up to nearly $1,500. This was the first time the full potential cost was clearly communicated, leaving me no reasonable time to plan. I spoke with the office manager about my concerns and then called back the following day. During that call, I spoke with a receptionist who disconnected the call. When I called back, I felt I was being blamed rather than supported. I will acknowledge that I became frustrated during the conversation, but this was after multiple attempts to get clear information and find a workable solution. During my conversations, I was also advised to cancel the procedure if I wanted to save money, despite already having taken time off work twice and scheduling other commitments around the appointment. When I asked the office manager what she would do in my situation, I was told to cancel my appointment and my day off, which felt dismissive and unhelpful. The doctor also did not take accountability for the lack of a clear price range upfront. Instead, the focus remained on honoring a small price difference between $595 and $615, when my concern was the potential $900+ increase that was not clearly communicated until the last minute. I understand that veterinary procedures can vary in cost, but clear communication, professionalism, and respect for a client's time and budget should be standard--especially for a long-time client. Unfortunately, this experience caused significant stress and inconvenience, and I will be seeking care elsewhere.
