Amanda has been wonderful in coming up with a bespoke plan based on my needs and more importantly the needs of Yaretzi.

We have completed 8 sessions and I plan on doing additional sessions in the future to see how much more we can do together!

Amanda has been positive, patient, and kind throughout the whole process. She is always available to support us with any questions we have, and we have been seeing some great progress with our boy. We have been getting comments from friends and family about how much calmer he has been lately, and it has been a relief to know that he can learn and improve. I would definitely recommend ARF to anyone who is struggling with their dog and not sure where to start.

After a meeting with Bar, he provided guidance on the overall training plan and boarding her for 30 days. She came back like a new dog with her new commands! Bar did a wonderful job spending time with her over that time, gave progress photos and video on where she's at within her training. I'd highly recommend Bar for training your dog! He's communicative and provides guidance to the owners as well to be successful on reinforcing the training as well! Thank you Bar!

Short version: 100% YES, if you're considering professional dog training, Bar is the way to go…read more Longer version: After a long search, I kept coming back to Bar's reviews on multiple platforms, and I'm so glad I did. We rescued our puppy, Bailey, at 10 weeks old and realized as she grew that we wanted professional help, especially to build her confidence. From our first in-person meeting, Bar was attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in our goals. We decided the board and train program was the best fit, and although it was hard leaving Bailey at first, Bar's beautiful property and regular updates gave us complete peace of mind. When we reunited, we were amazed by Bailey's progress. Her obedience, leash heeling, and responsiveness exceeded our expectations. Just as importantly, Bar spent time training *us* so we could confidently continue reinforcing everything at home. A few days later, when we returned for an in-person session, Bailey completely lit up when she saw Bar, running straight to him for affection. That moment said it all. We're incredibly grateful and look forward to continuing (and possibly advancing) her training. **Highly recommend Bar's K9 Dog Training.**

Unfortunately, the current Zoom Room ownership is atrocious and I would strongly suggest finding…read moreanother place to train your dog. I had been going to Zoom Room for over 2 years and had experienced some different trainers, some of whom were good, some bad. Finally, there was some consistency with an excellent trainer, Cari, and so I purchased an annual membership. Over the past year I had worked with Cari, who was fantastic. She had an amazing talent for knowing what you and your dog could handle and needed and she prioritized safety and the overall experience. Unfortunately, Cari left recently, and I have to imagine the owner had something to do with it, as clearly this location is horrendously mismanaged. There was a period of time where there were no classes available, and we were never told why. Then randomly they announced "new management" and brought in a trainer who had been shadowing Cari for just a few weeks as the new Manager and solo trainer. I had briefly worked with this trainer and I was not very impressed with his training skills. I did not feel like I would be making progress with my dog any more at this location, so I contacted the owner Diego asking for a partial refund. He talked disrespectfully about his previous employees, ranted about me not giving people a try, and raised his voice, berating me about "what if you signed up for a membership at a yoga studio and your favorite instructor left" among other things. During this rant he also shared that the trainers they get are untrained and uncertified and they go through some basic training before coming on board which does NOT inspire confidence in the future of this location. I have NEVER been spoken to in such a disrespectful, aggressive way as a customer. This franchise is clearly not well run. While they might find gems of trainers like Cari from time to time, you might also get stuck with untrained people.. or possibly even NO instructors. As another review mentions, consistency in trainer is absolutely critical to progress with your dog, and while I understand there is some employee turnover expected over time, this location has experienced too much turnover to be acceptable. I truly did love my experience with Zoom Room while Cari was there but now I highly recommend you save your money. It's not worth spending that much money to potentially have to keep working with different, random, possibly untrained employees and be talked down to by the franchise owner who really needs to hone his business and customer service skills.

Our border collie…read moreMaverick had an issue with pulling on walks, and thanks to Jennifer, he now walks perfectly in heel--it's like night and day. She also worked on his place command, and now he stays calmly on his bed until released, which has made having guests over so much easier. One of the things that really stood out was how Jennifer took the time to get to know us as well as our dog. She found out we have a horse background and used that to our advantage--explaining training techniques in ways that made total sense to us. She gave examples that tied into the horse world, which made the process so much more intuitive and familiar. She also helped address Maverick's excitement around other dogs, which stems from his strong herding instincts. With Jennifer's guidance, he's now calm and focused on us. Jennifer is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about setting both the dog and owner up for long-term success. We're so thankful for the transformation she helped us achieve with Maverick!

I brought him in about 11:30pm Friday night & we are now home safe and sound @ 12am.

The staff was welcoming, compassionate & helpful. The facility was clean & the couch was comfortable. I can't believe how quickly & painlessly this scare was resolved. I am so grateful for the team @ Veterinary Specialty and Emergency. Hopefully I don't need their services again, but if I ever find myself in an emergency situation with one of my beloved pets I won't hesitate to come here.

Worst experience at this place, especially dealing with Cody from the emergency department …read more I've been a loyal customer for years and never had any issues before. Recently, I learned they have different staff, Emergency team and Cardiology specialist staff on different days. The cardiology technician and doctor I normally work with are amazing. They are only there on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. On the other days, it's been a nightmare, and I would strongly advise against going then. Prices were quoted nearly four times higher. For my dog, we have always done a single-view X-ray. However, Cody insisted on doing a three-view X-ray, which would have cost almost $1,300. I asked if it was possible to do the single view, as I've done for years with the other doctor. Cody responded by saying I am not a doctor and that if I wasn't happy, I could go somewhere else. I honestly did not feel any compassion from him and found him to be cold and dismissive. When I mentioned I would leave a review, he said he didn't care and told me to go ahead. I felt forced and helpless at that point and signed a release form to discharge my dog. I left feeling hurt and distressed.
