    Midtown Mutts is a fantastic service and company and I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I have been using them so far for about two years now and I know I can trust any one dog walker to provide the attention and care that my dog Happy needs while I am away. I appreciate the notes that help bring me up to speed as needed or provide the general overview from beginning, middle, and end of each walk, as well as including fun pictures that are attached. It's also great knowing that there is often repeat dog walkers and I can tell over the course of time/walks that Happy gets more comfortable as well as being pleased with the familiar company. The dog walkers always attend to the instructions I've provided to a T and on the rare occasions when they must reach out, they send a text right away and all continues to be well. Just to note from the bottom of my heart, the company went above and beyond early on to ensure everything will go smoothly for Happy and I in my complex which sets my mind at ease while I am away at work. Because of this, in addition to everything else that that I quickly grew to count on, I can safely say this is one of the best run and most caring businesses I have ever used and enjoy speaking highly about them along with sharing the walk notes/pictures with my colleagues and my own clientele. :-) Thank you so very much, MM!!

    When your pup is really more like your child, you have to make sure that they receive the BEST care. Jameson is beyond spoiled - he's co-parented by two people who love him immensely. On the rare occasion where one of us is not available to walk him, we only trust Midtown Mutts to watch his royal highness (hah). Midtown Mutts has always been able to accommodate, even on short notice. I love the pictures that they send following the walk, along with the narrative! Midtown Mutts offers walking services and pup sitting (I believe). I can only speak to the walker service, but it's well worth the cost of Care :) Midtown Jameson is a fan, so 5 starts all the way!!!!

    I've been using Midtown Mutts for a few months now, since I got my puppy. They are the most professional, responsive company. Cassi, the owner, will text you personally to answer quick questions or confirm last-minute bookings. The dog sitter sends a wonderful report after each visit that includes three pics of your dog, a rundown of what they did, activity-wise, pee/poop wise, and other tidbits. It makes you feel that your pet is being well-cared for. Thier website is so easy to book appointments, see your schedule, put in details about your pet, each type of visit, etc. I highly recommend them.

    I've been getting my dog spike groomed here for a number of years now. Spike actually loves coming to see Alice she takes such good care of him as though he was her dog. He comes home clean and happy every time

    If you are thinking of taking private lessons, I highly recommend Heidi Hurdy. She is a knowledgeable, passionate, and professional trainer that helped me tremendously with my high energy nippy Amstaff puppy! I was very frustrated and Heidi took the time to get to know my puppy, address my concerns, and answer all of my many questions. She came up with a game plan and I put it into action! It was so nice that she also emailed me my "homework " and summarized our weekly lessons. Oh, and if you are a Fenzi person, Heidi is your gal! It is so refreshing to have a trainer that is +R and utilizes clicker training. If you are thinking of booking a lesson, don't hesitate! Without Heidi's help early on, I don't think that Ruger would be the puppy he is today. Ruger is now 10 months old and doing incredibly well. He just earned his Elite Performer Trick dog title and we can't wait to make our debut in the show ring!

We couldn't take him in public. When we'd have to take him to the vet, he would pull so hard (90 lb pitbull/ American bull dog, so he pulls HARD) that he would choke himself and make my hand hurt from holding the leash, and he would SCREAM/ bark/ cry when we wouldn't let him go up to people and dogs. He wouldn't tire out. He would do that the entire time. It was stressful as all heck when we'd have people over to our house. He would jump all over people, knock over small kids, non stop licking people, etc for about 15-20 min before calming down. If we kept him crated when people were over, he'd scream the entire time (I'm talking HOURS). It was extremely stressful. We did the 2 week board and train program with Christina. I'll be honest, because his issues seemed more like personality issues rather than not knowing commands, etc. I was a little nervous that our biggest concerns wouldn't be fixed. Him sitting, laying down, walking on heel, etc would be nice and all, but really what we needed was for him to be able to CALM DOWN around people. Lucky for us, we got the best of both worlds! My husband and I are blown away by the change in our boy. It's truly day and night. We picked him just one week ago. Yesterday I took him to the local Farmer's Market. He walked at a heel the whole time, not pulling toward any of the other people or dogs. We also spent multiple minutes at a time in a "sit" or "down" position just watching. This used to be a scenario where he'd be going crazy trying to get to everyone, but he remained calm for the whole 45 ish minutes we were there. Shortly after that, we had 2 new-to-Wesley friends come over to our house. I placed him on his cot before they came in the door. He jumped up once, but after I placed him back on it, he remained there and didn't move until I allowed him too. I thought for sure after I let him off, he'd run over and jump on his new friends. But nope! He walked over and let them pet him, but remained calm with all four feet on the floor and didn't lick them like crazy. He spend most of the afternoon just laying near us but not demanding attention like usual. He even stayed by himself quietly inside, while we were in the backyard (another first, he always wants to be where the people are) A total transformation!! Not having him for 2 weeks was definitely tough but Christina sent us multiple pictures and videos every single day, letting us know how he was doing and just showing us his cute face. She was quick to answer every question. You can truly tell how much she loves dogs and what she does. When we picked him up, we spent about 2 hours where Christina taught up how to use the e collar and worked on some training with us and Wesley together. The only thing I'm disappointed in with this training is not doing it sooner. I am in awe of what my boy learned at almost 6 years old and I truly cannot recommend Christina enough. We drove 5+ hours round trip for her training and it was so so worth the drive and the cost. THANK YOU CHRISTINA!!!

This is not only a benefit to pet owners but to their pocket book as well. He could just as easily charge for introductory classes. Instead he has a great system of a group class. Explains a lot in that class. This makes it cost effective and can help you determine if you and your pet are ready to commit. We have since taken a private lesson. The wealth of knowledge he has is impressive. He met us at a dog park and gave us plenty of things to work on. Remember he is a real trainer. That means he is training YOU to work with your pet. Not your pet to work with him. Our dog couldn't walk in a dog park without going crazy. Being a bit of an alpha and posturing. Now, he has been a great pup at the parks.

All I can say is: wow! My dog has never been happier and more well-behaved. Ironically, his approach, really, is about training you, the owner, to cultivate the behavior you want to see in your dog. He trains owners to address the root cause of behaviors, which leads to broad, systemic changes through energy-management and LOTS of positive reinforcement. Before finding Jaimie, I was worried I'd have to give my dog up to a sanctuary if I ever lived with another person who owned a dog because my dog's behavior was out of control. I no longer have that fear after training with Jaimie. He is truly a master of his craft, and I have full confidence his training techniques can work on any dog after seeing my dog's behavior transform. I have a 10 year old Shih Tzu that I adopted from the pound at 5 years old. She was constantly getting into trouble: jumping on furniture, marking in the house, pulling trash from trash cans, aggressive with kids and other dogs. I believed the folk wisdom that "you can't teach an old dog new tricks," and Jaimie shattered that myth within the first training session. Jaimie's approach is really quite simple, if you think about it: if you manage your dog's energy, and you set boundaries for your dog, you can create a completely new routine that your dog will adopt through your consistent, clear communication and praising good behavior. Over time, through consistency, you fall into a new routine, one where your dog listens and understands the expectations you've set, and it feels natural. Since beginning training, my Shih Tzu has stopped marking inside the house and outside during walks, stopped begging for food and stealing food from the toddler in my house, pulling trash from the trash cans, stopped barking at every little noise in the house, listens to my commands while walking on a leash, and no longer jumps on furniture. Additionally, she is generally happier, and more affectionate with every human she meets. Next, I'm planning to work with Jaimie on addressing my dog's anxiety with other dogs. All of the work the work you put into training really pays off, and I have full confidence that his techniques and attention to detail will help me guide my dog finally begin to trust other dogs. Trust the process, be patient with yourself and with your dog, remain consistent, and cultivate the behavior you want to see.

I've watched her transform from a bit of a wild puppy into an (I might be biased here) absolutely perfect dog. We learned all basic commands including sit, down, come, loose leash walking etc., and have since gone onto more complex commands such as emergency recalls, staying with distractions, etc. Outside of teaching our puppy, I've also been able to shed many bad habits that I had in terms of training. The classes definitely have structure to them, but the trainers also allow enough flexibility where they're sure to address any issues that you're having, or will take time to focus on a specific command that you're interested in. I'll definitely continue our training here and wouldn't even consider going somewhere else.

While we were previously able to minimize his exposure to his biggest triggers (strangers and unfamiliar dogs), we had just recently moved in with roommates and with new frequent guests visiting and the unpredictable sounds and activities in the house, his behavior got worse. Friends of ours that he was good with before were now constantly barked at and even almost bitten. We started to put him away when people visited, but even then he was constantly barking until they left. We were also losing a lot of sleep from the constant barking when any door opened or any noise occurred that he wasn't expecting, which was definitely hard to avoid with roommates around! We were definitely in over our heads, so we researched lots of different trainers in the area before reaching out to Lorenzo's. It was super important for us to find a trainer that was firm yet fair and who we could trust with our dog. Our trainer Nai hit all the marks! From the first 15 minute we spent with her, it was astonishing to us how knowledgeable, capable and understanding she was of Ollie's behavior and our situation. He actually tried to bite her multiple times and I swear she didn't even flinch . We were honestly so impressed at how quickly she was able to get him to listen to her while also being very fair in her training style and not unnecessarily dominant/aggressive that we knew we could trust her to do a 10 day board and train with him for his obedience training. Its definitely pricey to get your dog trained with level of expertise, but it was worth it! The frequent photo, video and text updates we got of his progress were very nice and reassuring that we made the right choice too. When Ollie came back, it was then our turn to to be trained by Nai and to make sure to be consistent. He is definitely a very stubborn and strong willed dog, and no doubt the first few days of having him back trying to practice the homework we got while he was relentlessly trying to default into his old ways, was super rough on us, but Nai was nice enough to call and check in to see if we had any questions or needed any help. Throughout the whole progress she has been super encouraging and supportive of us. Within even a week, we were more confident in ourselves and Ollie was already a way more behaved than he had ever been. As we went through our weekly lessons with Nai to progressively challenge Ollie to make sure he listened in more distracting environments and in situations that would previously trigger him, we grew more confident in ourselves and Ollie's reliability. It is so crazy nice to be able to go on a walk without a dog who pulls constantly and to not have to cross the street to avoid other dogs. We just finished our last official lesson with Nai but will be going to the free monthly pack walks and group classes! While Ollie isn't perfect yet and there are still things we're working on, we are so thankful for how much he has changed and for Nai's big help along the way. We will definitely be signing up our future dogs with LDTT

As first-time dog owners, we knew training would be crucial, but we had no idea how unprepared we really were. From the start, it felt like our dog was more than we could handle--his reactivity, stubbornness, and boundless energy left us overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. That's when we found Janice, and honestly, it was the best decision we could have made. Janice didn't just teach us how to train our dog--she trained us to be confident, patient, and capable handlers, completely shifting our perspective on what it means to be good, responsible dog owners. She helped us understand that training isn't about quick fixes or basic obedience; it's about building trust, consistency, and understanding the "why" behind your dog's behavior. She gave us the tools and confidence to stay patient and capable, even when things felt impossible.    The process wasn't and hasn't been easy. There were tears, moments of frustration, and times we felt like giving up. Our Doberman was stubborn and reactive, and progress sometimes felt painfully slow. But Janice was there every step of the way, offering support and reassurance when we needed it most. She reminded us that transformation takes time, and every small victory was a step closer to our goal. Now, two years later, I can hardly believe the progress we've made. My once highly reactive pup is far from perfect, but he's come such a long way. He's starting to make friends, can interact with other dogs more calmly, and is beyond more manageable than before. Walks used to be filled with anxiety, but now they're something we can enjoy. Looking back, all the hard work has been so worth it. I've learned that patience, consistency, and truly committing to your dog makes all the difference. Janice didn't just change our dog's life--she changed ours too. She gave us the tools and understanding we needed to keep pushing forward, even when progress felt slow. If you're looking to go beyond the basics and truly transform your relationship with your dog, Janice is the one to go to. She'll guide you, challenge you, and help you unlock the best version of your pup and yourself. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
