I went to the Diamond in the Ruff in Acushnet MA. which seems to have a website that is…read moreDiamondintheruffspa.com? Anyway, I rescued an old poodle mixed dog, and took him there because he was very matted when I got him, and they did a good job. I take the dog bi-weekly to self baths in Fairhaven and waited 3 months to take him back to get his fur trimmed and washed, etc. The experience was just awful! This is what I got: the grooming was done in just over half an hour, they told me the dog was matted, when I know he was not, the dog has curly hair. Because they said he was matted, they shaved him. I picked up the dog and he was stinky. This dog did not smell like anything good. It was obvious to me that the dog wasn't washed, maybe they just passed one of those "dry shampoos" but the dog was stinky, Then he had a cut in his skin, which they didn't notice, and did not put any antibiotic. The icing on the cake was that they DID NOT cut his nails, and my dog developed an allergy because he got a haircut without a wash. Then they charged me 129 dollars! I called several times regarding this service and when I got to talk to people they said that someone would get back to me, I'd call again days later and they would leave a message that the owner would get back to me, but the owner never did. Terrible customer service, they don't care about your dog.

Truly impressed with the services in just a few short months of training.

The "Pop Up" class - Obility - is so much fun. The agility equipment is arranged (differently each time) around the large yard and the dogs (and people) enjoy the challenge and novelty of going over and through all of the jumps, balance boards, and tunnel. Patti and Sandy have been great. Unlike other trainers I've had, they demonstrate exercises with the dogs in the class. This is so much more helpful to observe than the trainers' fully trained dog's demonstration. Sandy and Patti are very observant about the behavior of both the dogs in the class as well as the people handling their dogs. I've learned a lot and Niko loves it. We continue classes for fun and enrichment even though he has a really reliable recall.

I almost don't even know where to start with sharing my gratitude for Sandy. My 17-year-old…read moredaughter has a one year old black lab who has been in service dog training with Sandy since she was 8 weeks old. Sandy approaches all of her sessions with us with honesty, empathy, and kindness. To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. She takes my daughter's phone calls when she has questions, is willing to make house calls for training "emergencies", has filmed videos for my daughter's high school to help prepare students for having a service dog in school, and she has become a true friend of our family. Sandy also genuinely LOVES our dog, which we can see with every session. This puppy has honestly saved my daughter's life, and none of this would have been possible without Sandy. If you are looking for a trainer who truly loves dogs and who will take the time to genuinely get to know you as a human being, Sandy is your trainer. I cannot recommend her enough.

We tried group training with no success. We were just looking for a way to gently start socializing her. Tim has been a life saver! Mellow warmed up to him right away and gets so excited whenever she she's Tim's car pull into the drive way. Tim has given us lots of suggestions and we have noticed a lot of improvement in Mellows behavior. Tim was even nice enough to bring both of our pups to our wedding 2 weeks ago so they could celebrate with us at the reception for a while! It was so special for me to be able to get some photos with them on our big day. They were a huge hit with the guests too! Tim brought our pups home afterward and my husband and I had a great time knowing our girls were in good hands with Tim. We look forward to continuing working with Tim on socializing Mellow. It's so good to know that we have someone who we can call if we ever need someone to check in on the dogs or pet sit for a few hours. Thanks Tim!
