***PETSMART GROOMING***…read more PetSmart grooming denied my dog service because of a small scratch/cut on her head. The manager Matthew Hecka merely just glanced at her head and said they cannot service her. He did not listen to my sister and I after we told him how hard it is for us to bring our dog there as she is an extremely nervous and anxious dog and that they had previously canceled and rescheduled our previous appointment. . He offered no sympathy, understanding, or resolution for the situation after we begged and asked if they could meet us halfway so they can groom our dog. He just kept repeating over and over again they cannot service our dog. My sister and I literally have no idea how our dog got this small scratch that was bleeding. She may have scratched her head with her nails or bumped it on something right before her appointment. It was bleeding a bit yes but it was not a huge gash or gushing blood. I actually went to get a paper towel to wipe it off and it was gone. He still refused. We are so upset and disappointed because of how this was handled. Had he thoroughly examined our dog and at least try to meet us in the middle or try to schedule an appointment without us asking him or LISTEN and sympathize with us, I wouldn't have written this review. But instead he flat out denied our service and offered no sympathy or resolution.

We absolutely love Alex Luttrell, who boards dogs at his home, with its spacious backyard. Alex is…read moretruly a dog whisperer, and has a very gentle, yet firm manner with dogs. He went to the Bergen University for Canine Studies, and has extensive experience in dog training, although he primarily does boarding and doggie daycare now. Our dog does not care for large boarding places, but he loves going to Doggie Day Inn, where he gets lots of attention. When we pick up our pup, I enjoy talking with Alex, who always has such great insights into our dog's behavior. Alex is very good at communicating. He sent us pictures of our pup the first few times we boarded him, to show us how he was making himself at home! We are very grateful to have found Doggy Day Inn, and will never go back to large kennels for boarding or daycare.

I've been busy and I've neglected doing my duty in writing this review:…read moreI met with Alex to talk and consider whether I wanted to drop my dog with him. I asked him a few questions: 1) What kind of form or paperwork will you provide me as a receipt that I've dropped my dog with you? -He said he didn't provide any receipt 2) Do you walk the dogs -He said he didn't walk the dogs, it was too much of a liability 3.) What would happen if you lost my dog or someone stole him, how could I prove I gave him to you? -He had no answer 4.) I told him I was going to leave my dogs Fi locator / STEP tracker on my dog so it could record and report his location. ****Alex refused to keep my dog once I mentioned the STEP TRACKER**** I'm thankful ALEX REFUSED my dog. I found a place that agreed to take him WITH THE TRACKER ON and whom gave me a RECIPT . They had CAMERA'S so I could see what my dog was doing throughout the day so I was assured they weren't just locking him up in a CRATE.

I can't say enough good things about Jonathan! I reached out for help with my dog, Novah, who…read morestruggled with reactivity toward other dogs, especially because we had an upcoming road trip to Canada. What really stood out to me was his patience, knowledge, and willingness to take the time to not only understand Novah but also teach me how to better understand her. I've worked with other trainers before, but this experience was different. He didn't just tell me what to do. He explained why she behaves the way she does and gave me practical tools and techniques to help her succeed. He helped me realize that training isn't just about changing my dog's behavior; it's also about teaching me how to communicate with her, build trust, and handle situations with confidence. I'm happy to say that Novah did amazing on our trip! She still had a few moments when she felt overwhelmed, but the difference in her behavior was incredible. She's now much less reactive, and I feel so much more confident handling her. I'm truly grateful for the time, patience, and care he put into helping us. If you're looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about both the dog and the owner and takes the time to teach you, I highly recommend Pack Leader Dog Training!

We had adopted our Kody boy 8 months ago from a shelter. It was a very hard five months trying to…read moreget him settled with a routine. We all had different ways of how to train him and it was causing a rift in the family. I was turned down by some trainers until I came across Jonathan Wong's page. He was local, he was fast to get back to me and he was willing to give us a chance after everything I told him. Kody still has a long way to go and I will continue with Jonathan as his trainer, but it is night and day after three months of training with Jonathan. He was dog and people aggressive, to the point we had to avoid them entirely. We can now go for walks, albeit we move opposite of any dog and can keep walking without any barking or pulling. He was always actively pulling on the leash and bad at recall. He is loose leashed now and responds with recall with our daughter. In the end I had to get use to the idea that Kody was a crate or muzzle dog when it came to large crowds or people in our home. I felt awful but Jonathan was so supportive and positive as I came to terms with it. I hope as we continue to train with Jonathan and Kody builds his confidence that soon things might change for him. Jonathan has such a kind soul and so encouraging when it comes to both us and Kody. I cannot thank Jonathan enough for what he has done for us. He left solid foundations for us to grow on. Kody is such a sweet and smart boy, and we always want the best for him. Jonathan truly is the best.

"Pet Food Express" - I expected it to only be about pet food when I first came! But this spot has…read moreeverything your dog needs from food (not the prescription kind though), toys, accessories, clothes, treats, supplements, etc. and it has become my favorite bath time location for our large forever puppy! The way it works is you purchase a token at the cash register (I think there's a usual deal of buy 3 get one free). I believe 1 token is about 20 minutes total of wash/soap, rinse and dry. They've got 5 bathing stations and one of them has its own wall that's convenient for those dogs that just can't be too close to another dog. They supply you with everything you need - each station has it's own water hose that includes the shampoo (3 different options), they also supply extra shampoo if you need it, aprons, and clean towels. The staff keeps this area very clean and are pretty quick to cleanup the stations after people leave to get it ready for the next person. It's probably busiest during the morning and there could be long lines but so far I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes and luckily my dog is more patient nowadays. There is also an emergency button that can be activated in case a dog decides to get slippery and escape the tub! I haven't seen it used (thankfully) but I think it's designed to ensure all doors are closed so the dog can't get out of the building. My interactions with all the staff at different occasions have all been very positive. Whether it was a question about baths, food, supplements, first aid, or treats they have all just been helpful, very knowledgeable, and always friendly!

Yelp doesn't seem to care that someone had such a great experience that they literally got a yelp account in order to write a review, but I do, and you should, too. 'I did a lot of searching to find a dog trainer who could really target my dog's anxiety and reactivity issues, and am so glad I found Lea!  She is a highly effective trainer.  My wonderful, sweet dog who had previously been in dog training classes, has issues with separation anxiety, leash reactivity (to dogs as well as people), and fearfulness (certain noises, movements).   Lea had the expertise and knowledge to create a plan that addressed all needs. Here are some of the qualities that impressed me about Lea: She is an effective communicator: I especially appreciated her after-session notes, as it can be hard sometimes to remember every piece of advice given 'in the moment'.  Lea was flexible and responsive to schedule sessions based on my needs and my dog's progress - -we got the help we needed, when we needed it.  Lea has a deep and broad knowledge base of dogs and effective training practices.  Whenever I wanted more information, resources, or problem-solving solutions, I got them.  I especially appreciated the sessions when Lea would walk with us and shape my behavioral responses as well as my dog's!   Lea was always available for emails or consults as well.   She gave me the support I needed to make those interventions work.The best thing of all, EVERY intervention that Lea gave me and I faithfully implemented WORKED!   Thanks to Lea, my dog and I are handling the stressors much better: her reactive behaviors are lessening, and I am improving at reading my dog's behaviors.  People have noticed a change in my dog: that she's calmer, more socially tolerant, and occasionally interactive with others.  Changing a dog's fears is not an overnight fix. My dog and I are still working to improve our trust and relationship with each other.  Thanks, Lea!'

Still more to do, but he's so much easier and calmer to walk. I was truly frustrated and exhausted with the leash pulling and reactive behavior.

My puppy is now 8 months…read moreold and has spent a total of 5 weeks here (3 weeks for board-and-train and 2 weeks for regular boarding). As a first-time puppy owner, I wasn't sure what to expect or if puppies just naturally outgrow certain behavioral issues. Either way, this is the only formal training she has ever had, and the results speak for themselves. She came back so incredibly well-behaved. And has reminded well behaved. When we go out in public, people always come up to see her because she's cute, but what they *constantly* comment on is how exceptionally well-behaved she is for an 8-month-old puppy. It is so validating to hear that from strangers! I love and fully agree with Anthony's methods and what he does here. If you want a well-behaved dog, Powerhouse K9 is the only place to go. Highly recommend! Full disclosure: I have a pure poodle and they are known to be smart. I brought her to PowerHouseK9 initially at 4.5 months, only weeks after adopting her so my reviews are specific to this. I cannot speak to any other situation or dog breed.

Over the four years I have had her, she has progressively gotten more reactive to the point that I can no longer let her off leash except in the most controlled circumstances and walks were stressful and unpredictable. Whenever we encountered another dog or any other animal, I would have to brace myself for lunging, barking, and potentially getting dragged down the street. When I picked her up from board and train a week ago, she showed much improvement. I had been concerned that corrections could dampen her spirit but that was not the case. She's still as sweet and spirited as ever. Also, I noticed she had bonded closely with Pat which was a good sign. The improvement in her reactively became very apparent when I took her to Pat's group class for the first time today. In the past, she would have started barking from the car at the dogs in the park and I would not have been able to walk her anywhere near a park full of dogs. Today, I was able to walk her into the park without incident, and during exercises where the dogs had to walk near each other and sit within 3 feet of each other, I was amazed that she could do the exercises without a lot of stress and even seemed somewhat relaxed. That never would have happened before Pat! I look forward to taking my dog to as many group classes as we can! Thank you Pat!

Pat uses these awesome analogies to help you understand the way dogs think and react.

I can see how it may be awkward to meet a total stranger who is then teaching you how to train your "child", but it never felt that way with Pat. He is super down to earth, hilarious and extremeley personable. I continue to use his dog sitting services until this day and I can tell my Harley girl adores him!

I realized how stressed I felt taking them to a vet boarding place, where my fur babies sit in a jail cell mostly isolated from people and fun. Bonnie interviewed my dogs and assessed whether they were a good fit and could get along with other dogs.

Bonnie made sure to send me pictures of them at rest and play, while we were away, which helped us relax and have fun, too. They have a great yard with fenced in areas, which allow for separation if needed. I think most of the time the poochies run and play, and then crash at night from a long day of fun. They really know dogs, and I was impressed at their compassion and humor while also keeping a watchful eye on how the dogs interacted with each other.
