    We love one particular vet here. For that vet, five stars. We rescue senior dogs, some of whom have medical issues. Our favorite vet is great about being realistic about what can and cannot be done to help them, and together we do all we can to give the dogs a happy and comfortable life for the time they are with us. Some of the other vets can be very unkind to pet owners who are dealing with difficult situations. On one occasion, I brought in a 14-year-old dog who had bloody diarrhea (who turned out to be dying) for emergency treatment. The doctor had agreed to see us on an emergency basis, but then yelled at me for causing her to miss an owners' meeting. She didn't properly attend to the dog and acted like the bloody diarrhea was too yucky for her to deal with, then sent me home to care for her myself. (That was not my first negative experience with that particular vet.) A trip later that day to a different animal hospital revealed my baby was in multiple organ failure and needed to be euthanized. Today, we brought a 16-year-old Shih-Tzu in for euthanasia because the issue he came to us with had run its course. This vet did the job, then shamed me because the dog was not well-groomed, even though I had explained I do the grooming and I had broken my hand, and have just now reached a point where I could start grooming again. We also had been bathing him frequently to help relieve his condition, which caused his hair to become a bit matted in places. I thought she was very insensitive under the circumstances. For them, one star. The staff here are all wonderful, both the desk assistants and the techs who help with treatment. Five stars for the staff.

    We have on occasion used Limerick Vet in the past for an emergency situations that have come up with our dogs. Every experience has been amazing. Last week I brought my 10lb dog (after seeing my normal vet 2 days prior) for an emergency situation. They decided to keep him and push IV fluids and medications due to him not being able to keep even water down. After spending one night they were able to diagnose his problem and provide the surgery that he needed. While my boy was in the hospital, I received numerous phone calls each day on his progress. They even texted me pictures each night. Thank you Limerick Vet for giving my boy the love and care that he needed. You saved his life!

    This is my review for Proofing Behaviors Canine Obedience. My name is Maria and I'm happy to…read morereport that my 170lb St. Bernard, Ziggy and I are recent graduates of the program. I happened upon Proofing Behavior's via the Clipper Magazine back in March. At the time Ziggy had gotten away from me again and chased a small child through the neighborhood. The good news is the child was not hurt (just frightened) bad news is this wasn't the first time and I was beyond exhausted trying to control my baby boy. Ziggy is only two years old, after getting him in the house after that incident, I got the mail and found the magazine and there on the back was the coupon. I thought this was providence and called them right away Jim returned my call and within 2 days he was at my front door ready to start training. Unfortunately covid-19 hit and we had to postpone training until late June early July I am happy to say 8 weeks later both Ziggy and I have graduated on the loose leash training and the overall commands to sit and stay. I cannot say enough about how great this is and what peace of mind I now have when I go outside with Ziggy. He listens, he pays attention, he looks for my cues and all of this would not have been possible without Jim and the techniques he brings. From day one Jim explained the simple techniques and yes with the help of some treats we got Ziggy in line and in focus. Ziggy being a smart little boy has realized the more he listens to Mommy the more he gets outside time I highly recommend Proofing Behaviors and Jim's services to anyone and everyone all dogs all sizes I mean I knew it was a challenge as big as Ziggy IS I was a little skeptical we were not going to get here but to my great surprise we are.

Jim helped us resolve the "getting acquainted" issues between the ladies and helped all of us establish good relationships as a pack. The peace, tranquility and order have been so appreciated, as was Jim's kind disposition, professionalism, and natural aptitude with our canines. Would strongly, strongly recommend Proofing Behaviors for an effective, authentic, stress-free dog training experience.

I retained…read moresomeone who lived very close to me and had great reviews, but after a few sessions I realized our schedules were not compatible; I was not getting consistency and reliability from her. It's important for me to make progress with my dog, so I Googled alternate options and stumbled upon Alex's page. I called him on a Friday and he picked up the phone right away. We spoke for a while about my needs and he came out the following Tuesday for what was supposed to be a 2-hour visit. I fell in love with him immediately, he is not only so personable and likable on his own, but he really takes the time to LISTEN to what you need and work on those things right away. I had mentioned my priorities to my previous trainer, but I found that she was teaching my dog commands that didn't actually accomplish what I was after. In our first meeting, Alex worked on SO MANY of my priorities. He got my dog to go into her crate on command, taught her to "stay," showed me how to "walk with" my dog better on her leash, and (using a 30' leash outdoors) started working on recall with her. We were so immersed in what was going on that Alex started to go a little bit over our time, but he didn't want to stop because we were making such great progress. I told him if he wanted to give me a third hour right then and there that I was prepared to pay for it, and he did!! I learned a lot of things from Alex myself during our first meeting, like how to employ the use of "deltas" (which my old trainer never once mentioned) and how non-verbal cues are arguably more important than verbal ones. Again, my old trainer actually discouraged me from using hand motions, but once incorporating them into my routine I noticed that my dog was much more compliant than she had been. Another positive difference between my old trainer and Alex is he really takes the time to teach you why he's doing what he's doing, and encourages you to participate. My old trainer just taught my dog a command and had me replicate/practice when she left. Alex really makes you feel like you are a part of the teaching process. After our private session Alex recommended some "Small Group Therapy" for my pup. He came at noon on a Thursday to pick up my dog and she proceeded to go on a several-hour outing with his two chihuahuas and a dog he was fostering. The entire time he was out with her he was recording and sharing videos on an iCloud album. It was INCREDIBLE to not only see everything that was happening, but to hear him narrate why he was doing the things he was doing. I could not get enough of his videos and felt like I was there during the session. On top of Alex's excellent communication, punctuality, reliability, friendliness, competency, and effectiveness, his rates are OUTRAGEOUS in the BEST way! I truly believe he is under-charging for his services. I can get three hours with Alex for less than I paid for one hour with my prior trainer, and I feel much better about the work that is done during that timeframe. I adore Alex, and most importantly, what he is doing works. He really gets into the mind of your dog, and has such a wonderful way of connecting with them and their needs. I am elated to keep our work going - my pup has lots more Small Group Therapy outings in her future and it's wonderful that I have the option to use him one-on-one to teach her even more commands in the house. One day I hope to move on from essential commands to more fun ones, like "roll over" or "go get X toy."

    Alex is wonderful. We are quite grateful to have come across his page on Yelp. He cares for our…read moreDoberman with great compassion. He's knowledgeable, skilled at what he does, & overall, you can tell his calling is to keep dogs in loving homes with owners who just need the tools plus support to train & love on their pet babies. If our Ketsia (Sisi) didn't love us so much, I think she'd hop on over to Alex's place :) She's strong-willed & protective but sooo loving & sweet. We're making great progress! Thank you, Alex.

When I picked up my 8 month old puppy she was so desperate to pee and poo, she went on the sidewalk in front of their building. She was so thirsty she was panting and needed water immediately. I sent food but she did not eat there. To compound the problem, Communication is awful. They don't let you into the space. You stand on the sidewalk - they crack open the door and pull her in or give you the leash to take her out. You get 1 email a week with some photos and videos. They don't appear to read the form you fill out and don't discuss goals. I told them that my puppy has had training since birth, but their first video was showing me how to hold a leash. The second video was of a different dog being trained - they said my dog was tethered watching. Throughout the entire video I could hear her crying. No one attempted to soothe her at all. I provided constructive input verbally and in writing by email. Despite my bad experience at the City School, I was still interested in the Farm School. I went to the open house and they were much more transparent about what a typical day looks like there. But before the evaluation day (which is separate from the City School evaluation), they called me to say that they were cancelling the evaluation because I am not a good fit for their program. They said it had nothing to do with my dog, who is a very sweet Labrador, it is because I am not "aligned" with them. They were not willing to even listen to why I thought the Farm School would be a better fit than the City School, saying that the decision had been made "by senior management" and it is not worth wasting time talking about it. Wow!
