While he has bitten people before, I didn't want to do something that drastic without getting some outside help. So, I called Marcus and ... long story short, after just maybe 30-40 mins, I am fully confident I'll won't have to put down my dog. He was just fearful and aggression was a strategy. I've learned to 'speak dog' and although it will take a few weeks, I'm so grateful and appreciative because I see a clear path forward that is very simple to implement (although it does take effort but it's not complicated)

Ann from Perfect Pups is the best!…read more I have a miniature dachshund named Francisco who is a fairly good dog, but in the last few months he has become very nervous and scared of other people (specially the mailman). After watching too many hours of The Dog Whisperer, I was afraid his behavior would eventually make him an aggressive dog and decided it was time to get an expert's opinion. Because of this, we decided to do an introductory class with Ann from Perfect Pups, so she could assess our situation and perhaps give us some tips to work on. The day of our session Ann arrived at our home on time, which I really appreciate. During our one hour session, she was able to give us some really great tips to treat Francisco's nervous behavior. We've already started implementing some of her recommendations, and we can see a difference in our dachshund. This will definitely take some time, but I appreciate getting Ann's expert opinion. I would definitely like to meet with Ann again in a few weeks to show her some of the progress we've made and get some new tips from her. She is a great trainer and I love the way she explained everything to us. I highly recommend Ann from Perfect Pups to EVERYONE; especially to those who are new dog parents.

We just might be one of the most difficult cases LOMA has ever had. Our two rescues were fighting and we called LOMA in absolute desperation. They seemed to get along really well at first and then things went really wrong. We had no idea what to do. We were at a loss. Dr. Lorraine had to use every trick and tool she has to help our boys and to help us too! At that time, our two boys were about 2 years old. We had many so many trials and errors. Dr. Lorraine was incredibly patient with us. The training really was for us just as much as it was for our dogs. Our boys are now 7 years old and they have both made a complete turn around. They aren't the same dogs anymore. They have developed some good manners and they have learned to get along with each other. They actually enjoy having people come to visit versus having the meltdowns they used to have when someone set foot into our house. We have consistently kept Dr. Lorraine's instructions as part of our daily routine. The time and money we spent training our dogs was a very valuable investment for us. We very highly recommend them.

Please do not take your dog to this facility under any circumstances…read more My dog was injured twice in just three weeks while in their care--both times severely enough that he needed sedation, stitches, antibiotics, and pain medication. When we first started using this daycare, I noticed frequent billing errors and miscommunication, but I tried to be patient. Then things became more concerning. Three weeks ago, I boarded my dog while I was out of town. Within hours, I got a call saying he had been injured by another dog and had to be rushed to my vet for stitches. That alone had me seriously considering canceling his membership. But I decided to let him finish out the final week we had already paid for. On the very first day back, just hours after dropping him off, they called me again: he was injured--again. This time, they tried to blame him, saying he "escaped from his crate." Their stories kept changing, and I never got a consistent or honest explanation. Even the district manager admitted she didn't believe the injury was caused by the crate. When I spoke with the owner, it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. He was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional--yelling over me, refusing to let me speak, and at one point told me, as I was crying over the phone, that he wouldn't "sit on the phone and listen to me cry" and that I needed to "pull myself together." I've never been treated with such disrespect and coldness. Since sharing my experience online, multiple people have come forward saying similar things happened to their dogs at this same facility. I trusted them with my dog's safety and well-being, and they failed him twice. Please don't make the same mistake. In response to Dogtopia and their comment, you only covered his stay because I demanded it. You also are responsible for his care so taking him to the vet because of his injuries caused by another dog is not going above and beyond. We were out of town so would you just leave him to suffer in his cage? You also state that his second injury is from escaping from his cage but if his cage was latched properly that would have never happened. I would also like to add that the vet said both injuries resembled each other they were just in different locations. This is not from trying to get out of the cage which your district manager Amanda agreed!

Before writing this review, I pondered for months and finally decided to pull the trigger because…read morepeople need to know! Our three pets were boarded at Dogtopia Alamo Ranch from 12/22/24-1/3/25 during the Christmas and New Year's holidays. As with many pet parents, we love our babies. We checked the monitors to see how each was doing, and I made several calls to obtain updates. We were told they were doing very well. The monitors said a different story. When previewing the monitors, my family and I noticed our elder pet-schnauzer rat terrier mixed (not a big dog at all) was often in the kennel. I called and was informed that he gets excited, and they place him there to rest/calm down. I explained that he is uncomfortable around big dogs, and it causes him to become stressed. This was the same routine for several days. I sent an e-mail asking if he could be placed in the Toybox with one of his siblings. I was told no because the lead said he was fine where he was, and they saw no reason to move him. No matter how I tried to rationalize and plead my reasoning. The response stayed the same: "No." Upon arrival to pick our pets up, my husband was informed that one of my dogs was chewing on his tail. When we arrived home and checked his tail, it had specks of blood, and approximately 6 " of his tail was eaten raw. Again, we called and checked on our dogs, but no one thought to share this critical concern. Additionally, our little one had old feces on his coat and paws, and dogs had urinated upon him. All three smelled horrible and were not taken care of. We will NEVER take our pets to Dogtopia nor recommend any pet owner who loves their pets to patronize that horrible, unprofessional place! We should have turned away when the young lady- I believe Christy was rude!

*using same review from broadway location since we train at both facilities *…read more In 2021, i thought that my people/dog aggressive blue heeler was unfixable and possessed the potential fate of being put down. It is now Jan 3, 2023 and I am truly so happy with SMS. My consultation was late December 2021 with Austin at the Broadway location. I explained to him my concerns and goals and he was very enthusiastic about Bojack's potential with the program. Austin had me test the e-collar for my own reassurance as an owner. (test was on fatty area of the palm). I never had doubts about using this sort of training tool, especially with a dog like Bojack which I knew needed something more than just a "good boy! here's a pat on the head". Bojack did the 6 day course where he attended a daycare-like setting at the Broadway facility 3 days for 2 weeks. (He was muzzled for each class which I fully supported). After every class, I would get a lesson on what Bojack learned such as how to use the e-collar and the basic commands that follow with it, (heel, place, sit, down, stay, come). Bojack already knew these commands from a previous program he did but I was mostly looking forward to the years' worth of group classes that are included in the price. (these group classes were the absolute selling point for me. I was very dedicated to Bojack's progress). Bo's first group class was Jan 27, 2022. It has been almost an entire year and I truly can't believe the progress he has made with SMS. In these past 12 months, Bo has truly mastered most of the commands and exercises that we do during group class. Bojack has now been accepted into the brand new Advanced II class that will consist of weekly field trips for higher-skilled exercises and a more challenging environment. This is all credited towards the amazing trainers he has seen throughout the year: Patricia and Mike throughout the year, Zach for the last half of the year and Isaac for these past couple weeks. (also a big thank you to all the trainees/newer employees that help run the facility). I am not going to lie, Bojack still has reactivity issues, but I have accepted and so should you, (if you are a severely reactive dog owner), that these behaviors will likely not go away due to many unique reasons. BUT, what you CAN do is learn how to be proactive. Proactivity and consistency is the key for owning dogs like these. You can't expect to drop a couple grand on SMS, not attend any group classes and then expect a cured dog. Those group classes are absolutely vital to you and your dog's training abilities. Being consistent is so important, I can't stress that enough. With the dedication I put into Bo and SMS for the past 12 months, I can now take Bo to any crowded place and feel confident in his ability to execute an excellent heel walk while walking by distractions amongst other commands. Thank you trainers and Lisa for the environment you created, for the training you provided and the confidence you instilled in me and Bo :)

I especially loved how the staff were patient with my excessive Q&A prior to bringing, Sir Winston in . With Winston, our experience has been staff making the mistake of assuming he is either a Siberian husky, therefore the mishandling or fear from his size begins. Planet Pet Spa, had him scheduled first thing in the morning, so he would experience minimal activity to ensure he could ease into his FIRST experience. My main focus was to have Sir Winston, deshedded, shampooed and dried. Not much, but with a 120 lb who can be reactive, I had anticipated this to be challenging. My biggest concern was the staff being able to handle my him when he didn't want to move (as he generally will sit down in protest if he doesn't want to go). Our groomer, Nazarene, at drop off was not even fazed by Winston's size. Which only reassured me that I had placed Winston in good hands. Upon picking Winston up, he was in good spirits and seemed to have had a good experience. I struggled with looking for a big dog groomer, and I'm so thankful that we found Planet Pet Spa and Nazarene. I highly recommend Planet Pet Spa and Nazarene, if you have a giant breed. She didn't even flinch at his size. I left their feeling they do care about my concerns as well as the experience of my dog..
