I reached out and asked the owners what this could be from and they said probably from her "running."

I reached out to the owner to cover this $300 bill and they never responded. It felt like our dog was neglected.

If you're gonna spend thousands on a parrot, the price of this class is just a drop in the bucket.

I found one free flight trainer, who was a scam and wanted to charge me a ridiculous amount of money. I soon notice that that trainer was a scam and wasn't right for us, so I went online and google. I was looking on youtube videos. But I couldn't find any classes about HOW TO free flight a parrot. After long research I found LibertyWings.com. I read the testimonials and register for the class. Which was very affordable to what the scam artist would have charge me. I took my first free-flight classes with Chris Biro last week. If you don't know Chris Biro, let me tell you, that he's the father and the guru for all parrot training and free flight for over 20 years. It was very interesting and educational, because I not just got an education how to free flight my bird, but also the Parrot training technology and the science and behavior behind the bird. I wouldn't have gotten all this information and education with any other pet trainer. I highly recommend Chris classes to anyone who love their bird and wants to learn generally more about parrots, but also to all those people out there, who want to know how to free flight their parrots safely. Chris was just fantastic in every aspect. He's knowledgeable, smart, passionate, patient, wonderful and articulated in his classes. He answered all my questions (and trust me, I got a lot of them) and we talk and cover all levels of free flight training. Chris covered Training Theory, Indoor and Outdoor Training, Ethology, Calibration, Development, Emergency's and The ABCs of Environment and this is just to name some. Thank you Chris for your classes, I can't wait to get out with my bird and apply all the things that I have learn from you and see my baby happy and successful flying.

We had a wonderful tour with the General Manager, Eva, and she made us feel like a priority even though they were clearly busy. Other customers greeted her like family and she knew every dog that walked into the office during our tour, which made us feel great about the facility! It was clean and checked all the boxes. Fast forward, we received the email about staff changes. That should've made us question things. Everything felt so different, and almost corporate with trying to sell us more. My husband said like a greasy car salesman! The outside looked beautiful but in the building you could tell the cleanliness was definitely not the same, with an odor like a shelter!

Granted it was only our first visit, but this will be our 4th vet since we got to Austin and I feel…read morewe have finally found our spot for the long run even though it's 35 mins away. Without a doubt a completely different vibe from the other places we have tried. One was dirty, another had no sense of how to build trust with a new animal, and the third told us today with complete indifference that they could only make room for us in three days when what we were describing was a potential emergency situation that they examined our dog and sent us home for just a few days ago. The office has a great feel to it, very clean, and the staff are super nice. They fit us in the same day we called even though they were busy. Unlike the other places, the Springs staff were very gentle with our dog. He's less than a year old and has yet to fully trust vets in general but was willing to go with them to the back for the examination. Afterwards, they were kind, patient and detail-oriented when explaining our options. I understand Austin is growing and that there will be pains as the city adapts to accommodate all the new people living here, but I think it's fair to expect people to be kind and understanding, especially in a medical situation when one wants to believe the office cares about you and your pet like family. I think Springs is that kind of place.

Having seen Catherine interact with not only her own dogs, but client dogs, I can personally say she is knowledgeable beyond belief and you can completely trust you are in excellent hands (and paws) with The Ranch For Canine Training and Behavior. This facility is immaculate. There is plenty of parking and her indoor facility is well lit and very well cared for. Catherine's knowledge extends way beyond basic training. She has handled and titled multiple dogs in conformation, obedience and protection work. This is a very big deal as many trainers have not successfully competed with and titled dogs to the level she has. She knows canine structure and behavior very well. These qualities are very hard to come by in a trainer. Not only the above, but she is great with communication on the human front. I challenge you to meet a more caring, loving, detail oriented dog trainer! She is fantastic with communication on the human level. Great lady, fantastic training space and a solid place to take your pup for schooling.

Catherine recently opened a lovely new facility on Hwy 290 just off RR12 and not only does she do private instruction, but also group classes and she brings in experts for training on pet massage, etc. I look forward to taking my puggy back for further certifications and classes with Catherine. She truly is a "dog whisperer" and her patient, yet commanding methods will ensure dogs (and their owners) of all ages, shapes and sizes can learn to be the best they can be! Thank you Catherine!!

I was able to put it together in a little over an hour. They provide all of the materials and tools needed in a single well organized box. We wired around the base of our kids trampoline to create a run area and connected the coop to make a really nice setup for the ladies... We just happen to live 10 minutes down the road from Urban Coop Company and we visited with the owners and got to see the construction process first-hand. What a wonderful group of people!
