This review is a bit overdue as my dog is almost 10 years old and she was trained as a puppy. We…read morewere at such a loss with Violet and didn't know what to do. I saw a bad review from someone else years ago and it triggered me to post this. I was actually a bit mortified by the post as it was the most unprofessional review and so far from the truth. Actually Violet still goes to US Canine for boarding every time we go out of town and I won't take her anywhere else. Violet actually went to another training facility (one I will not name) and she came out worse than when she went in. Violet is a pit bull and as most people are aware pit bulls get a really bad wrap. They just need a little proper training and some TLC (as with any animal) and that's exactly what US Canine did. She actually did have to go through the intense two week training for extreme behavioral issues (trained by Angie) and she came back a completely different dog! I love Violet so much and if it wasn't for US Canine we would have had to give her up. She has become such an important part of my family and I wouldn't have done anything differently. In fact, my next dog will be going there as well and I live 20 miles away! Thank you US Canine (and thanks for letting me review you so I can post a pic of my doggie )

My girl was so excited when we came in she just walked on back and didn't care about me lol. We got Tonks evaluated for day care and they are very alert and attentive to all the pups in the daycare. They have cameras where you can peak in and see what your fur baby is doing and that honestly eased my nerves a lot! I was able to see that she was having fun! When I picked her up she was exhausted and I've never seen her worn out like that. But it was very good for her to get out of the house and enjoy time with other dogs! We are also in the training class at Pawtropolis and we absolutely love it! We make sure to be attentive in class and work on the tasks at home as well. Her behaviors have tremendously improved! I would 100% recommend Pawtropolis!

Tina is an exceptional dog trainer who transformed our Luna from a nervous, unsocialized rescue to…read morea confident, playful companion. Her intuitive approach and gentle guidance helped Luna overcome her fears through group classes and dog sitting. During classes, Tina gently built a rapport with Luna (who was suspicious of everyone), and when we needed a dog-sitter we knew that Tina was the one. We were surprised that everytime Luna came back from dog-sitting with Tina, she appeared more confident and playful. I believe that this is the result of Tina carefully selecting playmates for Luna, and progressively challenging her with bigger, more energetic playmates as Luna was ready. Tina went above and beyond during our baby's arrival, providing crucial guidance in introducing Luna to our new baby. Her flexibility and care at that time were remarkable - even picking up Luna in the middle of the night during a home emergency. Thanks to Tina's expert training, Luna now plays confidently with other dogs and has adapted beautifully to the major life changes inherent in having a new baby in the house. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

After researching several training options, we found Christy--and we're so glad we did. Her approach, which avoids shock collars and focuses on positive, effective training methods, was exactly what we were looking for. We started with the puppy class and then moved into the adolescent class, and we're incredibly pleased with the results. At just 8 1/2 months old, our boys are doing great. We continue working with them and really appreciate having a jump drive of materials to revisit when we need a refresher or help with a behavior challenge. Christy has been an outstanding support throughout the process. Her classes are comprehensive, thoughtful, and truly top-notch. A heartfelt thank you from Enzo, Jax, Mike, and me--for your passion, your guidance, and for helping give our boys the best start possible!

After researching multiple places we chose UGA Veterinary Hospital and are glad we did.

Most of the ma's were kind and helpful but the last one we dealt with was a jerk and we quit going there after dealing with her hateful attitude. After months of chemo for our dog with highly aggressive lymphoma and atvleast $6000 in treatment there she had zero empathy or skill in bekng kind to me with our dog dying. I had waited all day for them to bring Samson out after letting them know I would be waiting and asked her if we could just get our bloodwork at our local vet and have the oral chemo shipped to us so we didn't have to go through this anymore with our dog waiting there all day. She got more agitated with every question and proceeded to tell me there were only 3 of them for 30 cancer patients. That is NOT MY PROBLEM if you are understaffed and treating more pets than you should be. My problem is my dying dog and you being an ugly jerk when asked simple questions. We previously were able to have our bloodwork done at our local vet and the chemo meds shipped for at home administration so for me to ask if this was an option shouldn't have been such a burden for her to handle. The resident vet on duty that day did nothing but take up for the rude vet tech and did nothing to try to comfort or reduce the friction I felt on that visit. If you want to be a number then go here. I recommend getting your vet to refer you to Woodlands Veterinary Referral instead of subjecting your pet to the stress of staying at a uga clinic for 6-8 hours each visit if time is on your side.
