He then began his service dog training, fine tuning . we took him several times a week and paid extra for that. we had asked before hand what all the costs would be so we knew in advance it wasn't going to be cheap. we knew anything as good aa the training Austin was going to receive was worth every penny! Austin is the most amazing dog and performs his service dog training 100% of the time in vest or out of service dog vest. He wakes me up at night if my blood sugar is low. I have severe hypoglycemia , he is also traimed as mobility dog and for anxiety and stress. He went through over 300 hours of training and graduated, 7 months after starting his training with Tim and Anna. They provide excellent training and have agility courses if you want your dog trained for that. there's is diabetic alert dog teaching, snake avoidance training , all service dog training programs as well as if you are just wanting basic obedience for your dog. Anna also does grooming so we still go for grooming every month. you will get nothing but the very best training for the tristate area!

I want to leave a follow up review, this time more realistic. I did leave one previously, simply to…read moreacknowledge the attempts made by a trainer there named Katya who I believe could have well trained my German Shephard, Robin, given the chance to train her here at my home. Where we live. The owner was a no call no show from the beginning, and no apology in being so, despite this being followed by a bite to another dog by a different dog of mine. Sending Robin to train was unnecessary and a knee jerk reaction. After his unprofessional inactions, I lost that beloved 3 year old dog. Robin lost 15 pounds in 30 days while at that facility. She was never bathed yet allowed to walk around in a feces covered yard. Even her ears were dirty. I wonder if this is where the parasite she came down with came from?? It cost 3400.00, and I had to provide all of her food. Not sure where it went since she lost a pound every 2 days. And the owner treated me with contempt and rudeness Katya seems to know her stuff, but could learn something from the phrase: teach, dont preach. It was a total waste of money, and I still lost a dog, which shouldnt have happened. This place will never get another dime of my money, and really should return it.

She was responsive to my last-minute request and happy to meet with me beforehand so I could introduce her to my dog. It was really nice knowing that my dog was staying at someone's home rather than a kennel, and it put me at ease to see how much fun she was having at the dog park and in the backyard when I saw the pictures she posted. My dog came back tired and happy. I couldn't have asked for more. I will definitely board my dog with Melissa next time I'm out of town!

She is so kind to send you updates. She also watches their health very closely. Vega started to show signs of a hotspot and she immediately notified me and helped me get the proper care for him. I got back a puppy that was potty trained!!!!!! No accidents since he has been home. He also know Sit, Come, Down. We are working more on the leash. I had a surprise work trip this week. She was able to take Vega for those days and help me with keeping the leash training going. She is so accommodating and knowledgeable. This is the best investment I could have made!!! If I could give 10 stars, I would.

Patrick was very kind on the phone and asked if I could be there in 45mins. DONE! Dr. Kate Schoemann examined Pupper and without any x-rays she diagnosed Pupper with a blown knee and a torn meniscus. She explained the surgery process and the potential cost. I asked for some time to weigh things out. She sent Pupper home on pain meds; I did some research and decided against surgery due to the high cost. I tried reaching out via phone to Dr. Schoemann to discuss the pros / cons of a leg brace; I called 4 times between 05/26/26 - 06/05/26 with a stop into the hospital. There was a nice lady working the desk who scheduled a "Phone appt " with Dr. Schoemann to call me 06/03/26 at 2:40p; this call never took place. I am very disappointed for the lack of help I have received in the care of my dog plus pro-longing the potential of him utilizing a brace to assist in his walking. Do Better! My dog is my family; my best friend and I want him to have the best care.

It was short tho & Kinley came to take us to the room which was large, clean & well equipped. We began discussing Gracie's arthritis & I looked over to see the vet on the floor engaging with my dog! Dr. Holstrom was so kind & extremely thorough with Gracie's exam. I had questions about some lumps & how to treat them. She gave me several options & explained them thoroughly. We reviewed all of Gracie's health matters. Head to toe. The Dr. & Kinley really made me feel like they cared about Gracie & her well being. They were so great with my dog, but also fantastic with me, too. It was so nice to talk with them. This was my first visit to Pleasant Valley & they've got it ALL right. Lovely, clean, well maintained building & exam rooms; warm, friendly receptionists; short wait times; knowledgeable Dr. who is as good with people as she is with animals; technology (a very useful & easy to use app); & all these people are loving on my dog every step of the way. This is our retirement home so we are customers forever! I have already recommended Pleasant Valley to family and friends!

We brought these two dogs to the Pleasant Valley veterinarian clinic in Tonganoxie, Kansas, and we were so extremely impressed and wonderfully treated. Regrettably, one of our dogs is in fairly serious condition and the vet there recommended that we take him to a specialty veterinarian clinic that has an internist type physician for dogs to address his significant problems. What impressed my wife and me most was the fact that this particular veterinarian was MUCH more concerned about the well-being of our dog, rather than making money for herself, which we would have gladly paid her for many repeated visits for her to identify and treat our dog's significant health issues. But instead of making money, she was MUCH more concerned about the health of our dog, and she referred us to two viable animal clinics that have the type of internist that can properly address our dog's needs. So, the bottom line here is, if you want a veterinarian that is more concerned about the health and well being of your animal, rather thanher profit margins, I recommend that you take your animals to the Pleasant Valley veterinarian clinic in Tonganoxie, Kansas, and have a Veterinarian with incredible knowledge and integrity there take care of your pets. Truly impressive, truly inspiring, we couldn't be more grateful.
