Wish there were 10 stars I'd award every one. Hate to sound cliche' but I can't speak highly enough…read moreabout this facility. I have been with Dr.s Bob Alyssa and staff since they opened the doors. It's been many years. As a breeder of Dobermans then Miniature Schnauzers we have indeed run the gambit. Both my animals and myself have been treated with kindness dignity and respect from birth to death and all that goes in between. The facility is immaculate at all times. Many years ago it was remodeled. It's bright light open and airy. As clean now as when the renovations were completed. When you use this facility the more time passes by the more you will note that the staff remains consistent. Many of them have been there as long as I have and I consider myself a charter member. As the years have gone by and the clinic expanded new vets have been brought in house. When you call for an appointment you will be asked if you have a preference for which vet you'd like. My response has always been if the good Dr.s trust enough to hire I certainly trust enough to use their services. I feel strongly about this. And trust I do. Implicitly. Another asset to using this clinic is there is someone available 24/7 365. I can't tell you of what value this is to me. No running off to strangers and the unknown. Another critical asset in my view is this is a hospital NOT a boarding kennel. There is a time and place for all things. I will concede that the clinic may be a tad pricier than recovery but the outstanding impeccable in all arenas one could hope for in an animal hospital far outweigh the slight difference. This has been a long review but I wanted to illustrate my thoughts in full that I might assist others that take the research seeking and time to provide for the care of their animals large and small seriously a solid defined venue to accomplish just that. Dr.s Bob and Alyssa staff too thank you so much for all you are and have been. Truly a treasure. bryanne Ineson Calderstone

Been taken over by one of those big conglomerate that buys up veterinarians…read more I am convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that their lack of hygiene caused my cats to contract feline herpes. They said it wasn't possible, but they never sneezed or had any runny eyes before the visit to them. Four days after I took my male cat he had a terrible attack of this feline herpes which he never had in his 2 1/2 years of life. Four days after that my female started having the same symptoms, and she had not gone on that visit to the vet - must've contracted it from the male. They tried to tell me they always had had it. I disagreed. And then they lied on the records, so when I went to a new vet with their records, I found they had missreported a vital fact. They said that I told them early on that they had feline herpes which I absolutely did not do! I was shocked by that. Well of course I can't prove it, but all the evidence added up to the fact that they contracted it at the vet. That was bad enough, but then changing the records to say that I had told them about it was beyond unforgivable and we took our all our animals away from their practice.

Rob has improved the quality of our daily lives with our two dogs more than we can perhaps…read morecommunicate in words. After being hesitant about the investment for private lessons, we quickly realized what a tremendous value it was. We told everyone we knew after that first session that we would have paid the full fee if that first session was the only session. Our golden retriever, Huck, was quickly renamed by our friends and family as "good boy Huck" for his rapid transformation. We can now take him into just about any situation with a relaxed mindset and confidence that we have control over him on, or off the leash. Rob's no-nonsense approach put us at ease and simply worked. Our private lessons took place at our house, a couple of other locations "in the world" and ended with dog introductions at his house with some of the board and train dogs. Rob worked to deliver on every single thing we told him we were concerned about when we spoke with him before we started lessons, sometimes remembering concerns that we had long forgotten. We're now taking what we learned in our sessions with Huck to train our now 4-month-old puppy in the same way. We recommend Rob to everyone we possibly can, and will continue doing so every chance we get. Thanks, Rob!

I looked forward to going to training and now I look forward to having a dog that I know listens to me and is well trained. I would recommend Dogs Listen To Us to anyone who has a dog and is looking for training. I love showing off what Milo has learned and constantly hearing "that's such a well behaved and trained dog"! Thanks again Rob!

Genna is amazing! We rescued our dog Maddie (a one-year-old German Shorthair Pointer) and wanted…read moreto ensure that she got the best training available. We did extensive research and found Genna and her services. After Genna's two-week boot camp, Maddie was a whole new dog. My favorite part was Genna came to our house and trained my family to follow through with all the commands she taught Maddie. She genuinely wants what's best for every dog family she works with. Now, we can go for walks, let Maddie run free outside, and enjoy spending quality time together. We are looking forward to doing a second round of training to see what else Genna can teach our dog. email - tigerseyek9services@gmail.com

I got my first shepherd from Select Shepherd in 2008. The most beautiful, gentle, good-tempered…read moreloyal dog I've ever had. While intimidating at 120 lbs when full grown, he captured the hearts of everyone who came to know him. My favorite story is when we were taking a walk in Washington DC along the Mall, when a little girl walked up behind him, and her mother asked if it was okay if she pet him. We had no hesitation about allowing it, as he was so gentle and had been raised in a household with my 4 kids. She pulled a tuft of shedding hair from his backside, looked at it in surprise, and then tried to put it back on him. He was healthy most of his life, with no real problems. But he had to be put down in 2019 due to cancer. I'm going back to this business now for my second shepherd, even though I now live multiple hundreds of miles away. That is how much I trust these people and their animals.

I recently moved to Maine and contacted Kara's Petcare on the recommendation of my vet. I was so…read moreexcited because it seemed like they would be able to offer daycare for my dogs and some auxiliary training if needed. They also said they did transport to the daycare facility and boarding on occasion. It seemed perfect. I should mention that there are Kara's pet care facilities in Portsmouth, Berwick, and Falmouth. First I was asked to set up a meet and greet with one of their associates at my home so she could meet my pets. It took me many tries to get through many unreturned phone calls, but finally we did set up the meet and greet and that went well. Then I was asked to set up an app and an account before we could actually schedule any dog care. So I set up the app and the account. Then I was asked to drive my dogs to their facility to see if the dogs would "be happy there." So I drove my dogs 25 minutes to the facility. When I got to the facility I was told that they were supposed to stay there for a day assessment and then I should come and pick them up. This was not communicated to me earlier, and I had not budgeted an extra hour of driving back-and-forth. Then they would reschedule the assessment and they would come and pick up my dogs for the day-long assessment. All before any dog care could be scheduled. So, still not on the calendar. So to summarize: you need to go through a long process of scheduling a meet and greet, then you need to have the meet and greet, then you need to sign up for the app, then your dogs have to be assessed to see if they will be happy. I'm just thinking that anyone who's busy enough to need dog care is too busy for this multilayered, multi-step, poorly communicated process where phone calls, texts, and emails are returned only about half the time.
