Mitzi returned from her 5 week stay in excellent shape, happy to be home but healthy and not stressed at all. The staff at Wagsworth gave her any meds she needed, as requested, and fed her the food we'd provided, since she ha a sensitive stomach. we'd asked that she have daily group playtime and a weekly visit to the swimming pool, which she loves. Our pup came home and immediately fell back into her old routines, as though she'd never been away. Wagsworth really helped all of us. In the past, some dogs have returned from other boarding experiences, at other places, absolutely traumatized but thus was clearly not Mitzi's experience. Thanks, Wagsworth!

I recently adopted a 9-month old dog and wanted to jump into training right away. I retained…read moresomeone who lived very close to me and had great reviews, but after a few sessions I realized our schedules were not compatible; I was not getting consistency and reliability from her. It's important for me to make progress with my dog, so I Googled alternate options and stumbled upon Alex's page. I called him on a Friday and he picked up the phone right away. We spoke for a while about my needs and he came out the following Tuesday for what was supposed to be a 2-hour visit. I fell in love with him immediately, he is not only so personable and likable on his own, but he really takes the time to LISTEN to what you need and work on those things right away. I had mentioned my priorities to my previous trainer, but I found that she was teaching my dog commands that didn't actually accomplish what I was after. In our first meeting, Alex worked on SO MANY of my priorities. He got my dog to go into her crate on command, taught her to "stay," showed me how to "walk with" my dog better on her leash, and (using a 30' leash outdoors) started working on recall with her. We were so immersed in what was going on that Alex started to go a little bit over our time, but he didn't want to stop because we were making such great progress. I told him if he wanted to give me a third hour right then and there that I was prepared to pay for it, and he did!! I learned a lot of things from Alex myself during our first meeting, like how to employ the use of "deltas" (which my old trainer never once mentioned) and how non-verbal cues are arguably more important than verbal ones. Again, my old trainer actually discouraged me from using hand motions, but once incorporating them into my routine I noticed that my dog was much more compliant than she had been. Another positive difference between my old trainer and Alex is he really takes the time to teach you why he's doing what he's doing, and encourages you to participate. My old trainer just taught my dog a command and had me replicate/practice when she left. Alex really makes you feel like you are a part of the teaching process. After our private session Alex recommended some "Small Group Therapy" for my pup. He came at noon on a Thursday to pick up my dog and she proceeded to go on a several-hour outing with his two chihuahuas and a dog he was fostering. The entire time he was out with her he was recording and sharing videos on an iCloud album. It was INCREDIBLE to not only see everything that was happening, but to hear him narrate why he was doing the things he was doing. I could not get enough of his videos and felt like I was there during the session. On top of Alex's excellent communication, punctuality, reliability, friendliness, competency, and effectiveness, his rates are OUTRAGEOUS in the BEST way! I truly believe he is under-charging for his services. I can get three hours with Alex for less than I paid for one hour with my prior trainer, and I feel much better about the work that is done during that timeframe. I adore Alex, and most importantly, what he is doing works. He really gets into the mind of your dog, and has such a wonderful way of connecting with them and their needs. I am elated to keep our work going - my pup has lots more Small Group Therapy outings in her future and it's wonderful that I have the option to use him one-on-one to teach her even more commands in the house. One day I hope to move on from essential commands to more fun ones, like "roll over" or "go get X toy."

We had a great experience with Pooch Scoochers and can't recommend Ashley and her team enough!…read more We needed walkers to take care of our dog, Barry, while we were at the hospital welcoming our baby boy to the world. I was worried about scheduling something with unknown exact dates, but Ashley was incredibly accommodating and made sure we could schedule walks and feedings exactly when we needed them. Having that level of flexibility and reliability during such a big life moment gave us real peace of mind. The app they use is great. Super easy to navigate, schedule services, and communicate with the team. After every walk, we received updates with details and photos, which was very reassuring while being away from our pup. It was such a huge relief of stress during a very emotional time. A special shoutout to Rachel, Danielle, and especially Zac for taking such great care of Barry! Long live Pooch Scoochers!

Thanks to Ashley and her team of walkers, we always felt like our pets and our home were in safe hands. Whenever our normal walker wasn't available, Ashley would communicate with us quickly and make sure she had another one of her great team members on the way. She saved us when my husband and I were prepping to leave for our honeymoon and we could no longer leave the dog at the in-law's place. She quickly organized care for our pets and we didn't have to worry at all during our trip. Booking and rescheduling are easy and painless, communication is on-point, and the walkers are top-notch. Many thanks to Manayunk Pooch Scoochers!

We just finished up Cat's Puppy Intensive program with our 6 month old puppy Nimbus. I went with…read moreCat and High Paw Club because she was the only trainer that actually wanted to learn more about Nimbus during our consultation. Cat also personalized our program to focus on helping Nimbus grow his confidence. When we first started, he was afraid of any new person and terrified of other dogs. Cat was so patient with him and training my husband and I. She doesn't just teach you what to do, but the psychology behind your dog's behavior. I am happy to say that Nimbus has grown so much with Cat's help and has warmed up to people and even has been able to make some doggie friends! I can't thank Cat and High Paw Club enough.

Catherine, This is…read moreabsolutely the place to voice concern about the condition of your business. Consumers purchase first with sight, whether it's dog grooming, real estate, or any other service. The appearance of your business/property directly affects the property value of your neighbors. If a home goes up for sale next door or even on the same street, potential buyers are less likely to move forward because of the condition of your property. That impact makes it my business. As for your lawn being "pollinator friendly," that has nothing to do with the stacks of delivery boxes sitting on your porch for WEEKS at a time. Additionally, your property is not in alignment with the borough's guidelines. Under Section 305.1, weeds and grass must not exceed 10 inches in height... and yours clearly do, unless they were just cut. I also support pollinator friendly practices, but they can be done without creating what the borough defines as "obnoxious and undesirable plant growth."

I wanted to take a moment to leave Michelle a review because our experience with her has been…read moreincredible. My husband and I adopted a 2-year-old rescue yellow lab from a breeding farm who needed a lot of support adjusting to home life. When we first started working with Michelle, we could barely make it out our front door. Walks felt overwhelming due to reactivity to cars, people, and other dogs. We began private lessons with Michelle about four weeks after bringing our pup home, and she was truly amazing from day one. Patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive, she met us exactly where we were and gave us practical tools that made a real difference. Now, the transformation has been unbelievable. We're regularly going on multiple 1+ mile walks every day, and they're not just manageable...they're genuinely enjoyable. Navy absolutely loves them, and so do we. We honestly can't thank Michelle enough for helping us build this kind of life with our dog. We recommend her to anyone we know getting a dog and will absolutely be back as we continue working on new goals. Thank you so much, Michelle, you were truly a lifesaver.

To us, he looks more like half Corgi, half Lab. Although he has ongoing issues that we have to work on, we love and adore him so much. I went to Operation Ava thinking that I was just looking and when I saw him, I fell in love and had to take him home. The adoption process was very easy. We were able to bring him back within the same week. Just make sure that your references are available and know to pick up Operation Ava's phone call to make the process go smoothly and quickly. My favorite part about Operation Ava was that they kept the dogs in private rooms, instead of crates. Overall, they were very helpful when adopting him,giving us tips on what he likes and didn't like. They seem to be a great organization and I would recommend someone looking for their next pet to go check them out.

I met a sweet pitbull named Olivia & I also got to play with one of the lab mix puppies during my first visit. I was SUPER tempted to adopt another dog, but my BF talked me out of it, since we already have Payton at home & she's already a hand full. A year later, I visited Saved Me again with my BF & a couple of friends. That was when I met Maggie, one of the sweetest pitbull mixes you'll ever meet. My GF & I fell in love with her instantly. We wanted to adopt her on the spot, but agreed with our BFs that we'll sleep on it to make sure we won't change our mind. I sure as heck didn't change my mind. Jessica at Saved Me was very helpful over the phone. I emailed her my application & provided her all the information she needed for me to be an approved adopter. I've had Maggie for over 2 weeks now & I LOVE her. She loves people & has an outgoing personality. She gets along with dogs easily & is so easy to train. I love that Saved Me allows you to get personal with the dogs before you make an inform decision. I played with Maggie for an hour & that's when I knew she was perfect. If you're looking to adopt, definitely go to Saved Me. You'll have the opportunity to meet dogs of various personalities & get to play with them as often as you would like before you decide if you're suitable for each other.
