Here's the thing with sending your dog to training. It ONLY WORKS if you continue the work after…read more Having said that - I have nothing but amazing things to say about Doggone Fit and their staff. They are caring and professional. They get to really know your dog and set up a plan according to their behavioral needs. It is not a "one size fits all" training method as different dogs require different experiences with training. We are experienced German Shepherd owners, but we adopted a 9 month old Shepherd who had no previous training and was traumatized by the sudden death of her previous owner. She was nervous and insecure. She needed more than what we could give her. In comes Doggone Fit. Our trainer Richie fell in love with Leia and she him. We did the 2 week board and train and it was worth EVERY penny of the $2K+ we spent. Leia needed to learn some boundaries and build some confidence. She came home loving the tools and structure she learned. **And I will say it again** - YOU NEED to continue with the training. Your dog will come home improved and will have learned the tools, but unless you continue with the protocol your dog will backslide. We have stuck with Doggon Fit's protocol and Leia is thriving. We even boarded her for the first time with Richie and she was in heaven. It was like summer camp for her. Richie sent us daily updates and photos and we felt so good knowing she was having fun and in the hands of someone who cared for her and obviously knew her training needs. Here's a picture of our happy, confident girl now. She has come so incredibly far. If it wasn't for Doggone Fit we probably would have continued to struggle with meeting her specific needs. She loves the work she learned there and we continue with it daily. It gives her the confidence and structure she (and many dogs) need.

We initially worked with Richie for an introduction to training, which was tremendously helpful. We then worked with Joe Langlois, who was excellent with initial training and weekly adventure hikes for our pup. He spent so much time getting to know our pup to make sure he could bond and effectively work with him. He also took a tremendous amount of time to listen and explain everything including tips to help with our pup's anxieties, which have been an invaluable help. We loved having our high energy dog participate in the adventure hikes and seeing all the adorable photos Joe would very actively post after almost every walk. He obviously loves dogs and really cares about giving them exercise, fun, and training. Also he has rescued all of his dogs, a good marker of how much he cares about dogs in general. We hope to continue working with Joe and highly recommend.

Marina from A Bark Above Dogventures was absolutely amazing with my 5 year old Boston terrier. We…read moresigned him up for the intensive 3 week training program and it was 100% worth it, and I would recommend. He was reactive towards other dogs and strangers, and because of his age, I was worried he was set in his ways. Thankfully, Marina was able to build his confidence and my pup isnt as fearful or anxious on his walks anymore. I am so so grateful that with her help, Luffy's quality of life has drastically improved. He can control his impulses and is so much calmer and confident. And now that he is calmer, I am also so much calmer and the walks have been actually relaxing rather than stressful! I kept him on for the weekly hikes, and he absolutely loves hiking with his new crew. I am so shocked how we went from a dog who could only go out at dawn or at night to avoid others, now gets excited to hop into a van full of other dogs.

Our consult was with Nance, and she was very patient in explaining the process and talking us through some initial things that we were struggling with. Then, we started with a training package that included 3 private training classes and 2 months of group obedience classes. We also went to a few puppy kindergarten classes. Nicole did the majority of our trainings and she has been a god-sent. She is very good with the dogs, and her energy level makes the training classes fun both for us and our dog. We learned a lot from Nicole and she helped us to feel a lot less stressed out and actually enjoy the puppyhood. The obedience class is set up like a monthly subscription, where you can go to as many classes as you want. We end up going about 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes, as it is a great activity to mentally exercise our dog and provide socialization while working alongside other dogs. We also started bringing our dog to their dog day camp 2x a week. Tim was also very patient in explaining the process. The dog day camp has been great in getting her to play with other dogs and allows her to learn obedience from others aside from us.

We use Companion Pet Sitting for grooming services. Our 14-month old Cobberdog has been going for…read moreregular grooming with Lindsay since he was five months old. He is pretty typically behaved about most things and does just fine with about an hour and 20 minute groom time. Our prior dog, an Australian Labradoodle, was a nervous wreck about life. We tired other groomers with her- one told me she "was awful and needed agility class and refuses to go into this crate!" And another groomer who everyone swore by used to take four hours to groom her and would be swearing and sweating by the end of her appointment. Then, we happened upon Lindsay at Companion Pet Sitting. (Cue the ahhhh music...) she was patient and kind and acknowledged that our dog was nervous and called her silly and said, "she tires all sorts of yoga moves but she's fine!" This dog lost an eye and Lindsay even designed a hair style to keep her hair in a side-swept bang style. This is a no frills operation, the appointments are booked so that dogs don't have to spend all day there and I get a text message when he's ready for pick up. Everyone is friendly and flexible and always happy to see the dogs! They are pretty heavily booked with all of the Covid Doodles but if you can get in there, they are amazing.
