She was told that it was HER FAULT that he was sick because she decided to take him to a spay/neuter specific clinic after getting quotes of $550 plus for him to be neutered at a veterinarian office. Instead of having sympathy or understanding for her, she was literally told it was her fault in spite of the fact that my daughter has spent hundreds of dollars on her cat, taking him to an actual reputable veterinarian in Texas before moving, making sure he had every vaccination up to date, being responsible by getting him neutered and buying top tier food and litter for him since day one! They had the nerve to tell her it was her fault for taking him to a spay/neuter clinic instead of having any empathy! Maybe if veterinarians didn't try to take advantage by charging $550 plus for basic procedures then more people could afford to have them done there! It's just inconceivable that anyone would place blame on someone, especially a young person who is being responsible and seeking help for their pet! Also, she overheard a woman crying because they were going to euthanize her cat for non-payment! Unbelievable!

PLEASE READ IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING THIS FACILITY!…read more After giving my dog a month to readjust, I'm leaving an honest review of my experience. I chose this business because of its reviews and proximity. I explained that my German Shepherd puppy had service-dog potential but I couldn't train him myself due to health reasons. The owner seemed knowledgeable, so I invested over $2,400 for their basic obedience board-and-train. From the start, there were red flags. The contract included extra charges--such as several hundred dollars for potty training--despite those services being advertised as included. They also charged a mandatory $55 bath fee. (This is important later on) During his stay, communication was minimal and our dog rarely appeared on their social media until we specifically requested more updates. At pickup, the trainer demonstrated commands using a prong collar fitted far too loosely and incorrectly. When my puppy hesitated, the trainer harshly snapped the leash, making him yelp, cry, and visibly shut down in fear. Despite this, he continued applying hard corrections until he got up from the ground. After returning home, we discovered they never gave back his collar and he smelled strongly of urine and feces, despite the bath charge. While settling him in after bathing him ourselves, we also found a 5-6 inch injury on his thigh. A vet confirmed it was rope burn and that he also had a staph infection--both of which occurred during his time there. None of this was disclosed to us when it happened or at the end of his stay. Previously, they had refused to give me a tour of their facility. After everything that happened, I contacted animal control to get more information. Anyone considering this facility should know that their animal control records are public and free to request. The reports include dogs dying in their care, kennels covered in feces and urine, roach infestations, unsafe kennel wiring, and reports of dogs yelping like they're being hit. From the notes, it looks like they often refuse access to animal control during surprise visits until they can temporarily clean their facility to meet code. The only positive was that my dog came back with a good heel and place. Nothing else with his training stuck despite daily reinforcements of what they taught him since being back. Cons: Collar not returned Returned dirty and smelling of urine/feces despite bath fee Upcharged for services listed as included Came back with a staph infection Came back with a 5-6 inch rope-burn injury Now fearful of men raising their voices Had to provide all his food/treats (You'd think with board and train, the price would cover that?) Pros: Good heel and place

Richard was pleasant when we were potential clients and made us feel comfortable leaving our Shepherd in his care. I told Richard that my German Shepherd was skittish and afraid and very leery of men. After the first week I called for an update and his wife was abrupt, sharp and every time I tried to speak, she raised her voice and spoke over me. When I spoke to Richard, I asked for a picture of my dog to see her and they told me there would be a charge for a picture. Richard told me to watch the website and there would be pictures of her regularly. Truth is, they only post pictures of dogs that look happy and my dog, Daisy, was never happy so her picture was almost never on the website. Possibly 2 pictures in 10 weeks? A few weeks later, I got a call that Daisy "broke 2 kennels" and I had to pay for it. I don't believe that happened, Daisy was not aggressive. In the end, they charged me $8,000 for the training, the 2 kennels and an e-collar. I was overcharged for everything but had no recourse, I had to pay. When my dog came home, I took her to the vet because she was alarmingly skinny and more skittish and afraid than ever. The vet put Daisy on Prozac and told me she lost 21 lbs. I shared Daisy's "graduation video" with everyone at the vet's office and everyone agreed that she seems as though she was abused. Richard's training methods may work on some dogs but not all. He was determined to make Daisy comply to his methods and refused to alter, even when she kept losing weight and shutting down. Halfway through her training, he told me she is "stubborn and a bitch and he has had 1 other dog as difficult as Daisy". But even though his methods did not work, he never altered his training methods, and I believe he abused my dog to try and make her comply. He kept Daisy for 95 days, telling me he can't send her home till she "accepts and complies because she is a representation of him". In the end, after 95 days, he gave up. Richard and his wife and children run the business, and I would never recommend him to anyone.

I never thought I will get another dog, but being an animal lover, I decided to get a new puppy. My luck, Mío is a very hyper doggie, a Border Collie. I searched and took him to various trainers in the St Cloud area, but not sure they were prepared to handle this new life partner. Then I remembered Jim's training. Mío started going to puppy day care four hours a day, three times a week. Oh, boy. He is already showing signs of a well behaved dog, one that can go in public places and be able to control his impulses. Jim's love for animals shows all the way in the manner he respects them, the level of patience, and the advice he gives me so I can continue his training at home. I'm so grateful to have found Jim again. If you are serious about investing your live with a dog, Jim and his trainers are the way to go. We need more compassionate trainers like Jim and his staff. Jim is also an American Veteran, who's work during his military career was with dogs. Many years of experience. HIGHLY recommended!!! Thank you, Jim.
