He worked with our 3-year-old French bulldog and taught me so many invaluable skills to bring out Louis Mac's potential. I learned the importance of mental stimulation and problem-solving to keep our dog out of mischief. Dale helped me to find what Louis enjoys doing, which "rewards" motivate Louis, and all along the way, Dale was there to demonstrate and to provide valuable feedback. I highly recommend Top Gun Dog Training with Dale Buchanan.

When we first started, she was super sweet but a little unsure of herself in new situations. Thanks to Dale's guidance and calm approach, she's gained so much confidence and it really shows in how she carries herself now. Dale really took the time to get to know Lala and tailor the training to what she needed. You can tell he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. Lala was always excited to see him, and we've learned so much as owners, too. If you're looking for a trainer who's patient, knowledgeable, and truly loves what he does, I highly recommend Dale and Top Gun. We're so happy with the progress Lala's made!

Brandon and Nicole absolutely delivered! I received fun updates, adorable pictures, and even video calls whenever I needed a check-in. The training results were fantastic--Loki now walks calmly on a leash, comes when called, and actually listens to commands! It was exactly what I asked for, and they nailed it. He got to socialize, play in the beautiful turfed yard, and most importantly, he was treated like family. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Loki loved it there, and I could tell he had the best time learning and growing. Huge thanks to The Copper Cottage Canines for turning basic obedience into a fun, positive, tail-wagging success!

Management is very poor. Scheduling is not fair for the groomers and the ones that are requested by clients do not always get the dogs they have built a relationship with.

I have been using Canine Solutions for years, and my dog was thrilled to go for a spa day and just…read moreloved Amanda. However, Amanda is no longer at Canine, and with every visit, there seems to be a different staff (red flag). During the last visit, I was very disappointed in the quality of the grooming. My dog's nails were barely trimmed, she was covered in loose hair, did not smell clean, and was desperate to get out of there, which was out of character for her. She wasn't herself for several days. There appears to be a lot going on at Canine. A drop in the quality of grooming, increased pricing, an additional charge for using a credit card, and high employee turnover are all signs of a business in distress. I probably could work around some of these issues, but the fact that now my dog is literally scared about going there is just not acceptable.

Not only did she take fantastic care of my pets, but she also handled my diabetic cat's insulin shots with ease and care, which gave me peace of mind. Throughout my time away, Amanda kept me updated with regular photos and messages, so I could see how my pets were doing, even with the time difference. It was so thoughtful of her to keep me connected to them when I missed them so much. When my trip got unexpectedly extended by two weeks, Amanda was incredibly flexible and didn't raise the rate, simply updating my invoice until I returned. I really appreciated her understanding and fairness. The property where my pets stayed is spacious and perfect for animals to roam and play, and you can tell Amanda and her team genuinely care for the animals like their own. I'm so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and reliable place for my pets. If you're looking for someone to board your furry friends, I highly recommend Amanda--she knows exactly what she's doing and will treat your pets with the utmost love and attention. 10/10, would absolutely recommend!
