I will never…read moreuse anyone else, and in my opinion, no one else should either unless you enjoy wasting time, money, and your dog's intellect. As a former public school educator, his philosophy was the only one that made common sense to me in how a dog and frankly, how humans learn. If he is your first call, you don't need to make any other calls. If he is your last call, you'll be kicking yourself for not finding him first. He comes to the house, for 15 minute training sessions first with your dog, then with you. Guess what your homework is, 7 minute practice with your dog twice a day tops. Then, you are going into bookstores, etc. with your dog. I had a 50 lb 6 month Pitbull/Rottweiler/Am Bulldog mix. I could NOT physically walk him anymore. A leaf blows by, a squirrel, a child squeals and wants to pet the puppy...I was yanked off my feet (I am a single, 5 foot female weighing around 110-115) Our world was getting smaller and smaller. Breyers changed our lives in a matter of weeks. So now I get to experience all of life with my dog by my side. And I'll close with this story. I got a call on a Monday at 5pm from my Dad coming back from a UT football game. "In Hillsboro at the split, I fell asleep at the wheel, woke up rolling and the car is totaled and I need you to come get me." Two girlfriends came over, one is a super small Asian woman that's never owned a dog and the other is older and has only owned purse-sized dogs. Within 30 seconds, I taught them how to walk Presley, and I got in my car and booked it down I-35. They could not believe how gentlemanly and well behaved Presley was, he waits until they walk through doorways, they stop, he stops, one even took him on the elevator, and prior to training, he wouldn't let me do that! And they didn't have to know or give any commands, just his name. So if you want a dog that understands how to behave when you have guests visit, when you are out walking, when you wanna pop into a bookstore, and who ignores squirrels, has respect and boundaries, and who can think and problem solve for themselves, hire Breyers. Again, I am a CPA and I put my name to Breyers Lane and his company Breyers' Canine Academy, and he is the only dog trainer I will ever endorse.

The end of program training with me and my kids was impressive but I was not sure they would continue behaving at home. Jake was our trainer and he was very good at explaining to me how to use their system and how to continue things at home. The first few days I was worried as my dogs did seem stressed from the entire experience. However, after being home a few days they bounced back and I felt brave enough to work on the things Jake taught us by using the collar. I have to say, I am very very happy with the results. My older dog RUbie had many issues with being aggressive towards other dogs and making walks miserable. Jake completely fixed that and she is now very tolerant of other dogs. They both have stopped jumping, barking all the time in the house, and counter surfing. My home is so much more peaceful. I am continuing to work with the dogs and am realizing that I must continue to use the collars and work with the dogs daily to continue to see results. I am very very happy with Jake and All Dogs Unleashed.

It has been 10 days since I picked up my puppy and I have not received an email (as Victoria told me I would before I left), about what my puppy was supposedly trained on! She didn't have my email address HOWEVER, I emailed it to her the very next day bright and early and never got a response! I feel as though he wasn't trained on ANYTHING because when I picked him up, he was jumping on Victoria (what I wanted him to learn NOT to do) as well as chewing on his leash (wanted him to learn NOT to do that either!) I'm not a professional dog trainer but I know consistency is key when learning something new so it is a complete DIS-service to NOT know what to continue to train my puppy on! Also, during pick up and drop off she had just gotten home from doing one on one trainings else where so how is my puppy getting trained when she's not there?? I feel like I got gypped into the training part of the service. The pluses to this review/business is that Victoria's home is very well equipped for a dog or puppy with a double gated outside play area, plenty of toys, and just all around great environment to also get well aquatinted with other pups. She also responds very quick to text and is flexible with payments. She also makes sure your puppy's have current vaccinations to protect your puppy and others. She also offered to clip Chances nails before I left and gave him a trim around his eyes which I didn't ask for but, I appreciated it.

Before she entered our lives, our sweet pup (Oakley) was essentially a tiny, furry sprinkler of pee and a landmine factory of poop.

We sent our puppy to her for board and train, and I swear she sent back a completely different dog--one that pees OUTSIDE. I repeat: OUTSIDE. I don't know what kind of Hogwarts-level sorcery she pulled, but it worked. And that's just the beginning! My dog now knows how to sit like a proper lady, "leave it" like it's hot, and stay "quiet"like a ninja. The jumping to greet everyone like they owe her money? Way down. The nipping with those razor-sharp baby teeth? She taught her that humans are friends, not chew toys. That's all just bonus material at this point--my bar was literally "Please just don't treat the living room like a toilet." Victoria is amazing at what she does, truly. If you're on the fence about dog training, just do it. You might not get your life back, but you'll get your house back--and that's honestly better. THANK YOU, Victoria!

Please do not take your dogs here. I have had 2 terrible experiences in a row with this place. Over Christmas I boarded my dog here and normally we had no problems in the past. Over Christmas though she got a terrible eye infection and I had to take her to the vet for medication. Park Cities didn't even notice. But the serious terrible experience happen this past weekend. I dropped her off late Friday afternoon. I called 3 times over the weekend to check in and could never reach someone. When I picked her up from Monday I found out that she broke a nail and had a good amount of her quick exposed. She has been limping from it constantly. On top of this she got a parasite from Park Cities according to her vet. She had diarrhea every 30 minutes to an hour for over 24 hours. She had to get emergency shots of antibiotics for her severe diarrhea, vomiting and fever. She is now on medication 2 times a day for over a week to get rid of this. I understand dogs get sick but every time I take her here now I spend $100+ on boarding and then another $200 on vet bills from what she gets at their establishment. Please for the health and saftey do not take your dogs here. They care more about their renovations than their dogs. We have already transferred her to a new boarding center for next time we leave town. read more

I am beyond pleased with the care and training I have received at PCOS. I own a stray dog that I found when he was 5 months old. I started taking group classes at PCOS after having tried another group class. We were very distracted and unsuccessful at our first class because of the amount of dogs in class. PCOS classes are much smaller and offer more one-on-one training. After finishing our training class at PCOS, my buddy became a regular at day care. I have been so pleased with his care at PCOS, but more importantly, he absolutely loves being there! He is so excited to get in the car to go to "school" every morning, and he's always so happy to see all of his human and 4-legged friends when we walk in the door. He has made so many friends, and I have become friends with their humans. My buddy is very calm in social situations at my house and when I take him to dog parks because he is already so comfortable around large groups of people and dogs. I can't thank PCOS enough for training and taking care of my sweet buddy. He loves it there, so I do as well! read more

We've been taking our Wheaten Terrier for over a year now and LOVE this place. The prices for daycare, boarding, and obedience classes are great compared with other places in the area. Every time we drop Maggie Mae off for daycare, she starts wagging her tail and is clearly excited about going in. The staff knows her name and has even helped us with behavioral issues (humping other dogs) while there during the day. We've also boarded here there for several 4-5 day trips and she is happy as can be when we get her back. The obedience class was also helpful with simple commands. The instructor is great with suggesting minor changes in owner behavior which helped us train her. One suggestion would be to have the video screens on when we arrive to retrieve our pet. Staff will always show me what she's up to before they get her, but sometimes I feel bad for bothering them. Ideally, we could go on a website to see the live video feed during the day. read more

I really appreciate that they have the dogs on a regimented schedule instead of confined to one playroom room all day. The dogs have personal time, indoor play, and outdoor play time (each with similar sized dogs). For personal time, each dog has a roomy open-air suite with food/water bowls, a bed, and toys (if you opt to pack them in their daycare bag). For flat-faced breeds like mine, they provide slanted bowls. Although there aren't livestream cameras, the team posts photo dumps to the Facebook group every afternoon (see examples)! Also worth noting, the team is quick to flag any upcoming vaccination needs or behavior changes. They keep a very close eye on the dogs. Lastly, the hours they offer are unmatched. Drop-off opens at 7:30am and pick-up closes at 7:45pm.

Happy Tails Doggie Daycare And Pet Lodge

I want to give HIGH PRAISE to Happy Tails for going above and beyond with their customer service…read more My family left for a vacation in Italy on July 2. My brother was staying at our house with our two dogs. Two days after we left for our two-week vacation, on July 4th, the air conditioner in our house broke. On a holiday and with a 7-hour time difference, we had to make other arrangements for our dogs. Happy Tails not only answered my texts first thing in the morning Dallas-time but they allowed my brother to drop off our dogs, even though they were closed. I had no idea how long my dogs would be there but they assured me the dogs could stay as long as we needed them to. We were in communication throughout the week as the repair status for our AC changed and Happy Tails was so responsive and accommodating. They are truly your friendly neighborhood business, putting their customers first. Thank you Happy Tails!

Everything about this business is excellent. I have been with them at least 8 years and I…read moreappreciate the effort they put into the dogs. My boys love going here. I love the fact overnight stays are supervised. See you all soon.

I choose Pierre's for grooming my two pugs after much research in the central and north Dallas…read moreareas. Their prices are a bit lower than others and I LOVE that they offer Dremel nail service, which is perfect for dogs with long quicks. That confirmed my decision to try this place. It has been a challenge finding anyone who can trim one of my pug's long quicks without hurting him, so I was excited. I dropped the pugs off at 1pm and they were ready around 4:45pm on a Friday (they recently changed grooming services to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays). The pugs were happy upon pickup and continued throughout the evening as well as smelled pleasant. Their nails looked amazing, and no bleeding occurred. The groomer even showed me her Dremel tool and the safety feature on it to protect dogs' nails. It is always a concerning risk to try a new groomer for various reasons, and I'm so glad I chose Pierre's. I also like that I only needed to show updated rabies vaccinations and not additional shots like many places require simply for grooming. The owner Jobbi managed the phones from the first time I called about pricing and services to scheduling to picking up the pugs. He is extremely friendly and conversational; I never felt rushed. Pierre's is in a cute little house right on Lovers Lane with easy access. I highly recommend them for grooming!
