Thank you!

When I came back in I noticed there was one for adoption and so I opted for that parakeet instead of a "new parakeet". Both times I was told that I had to have the receipt to do a return but it could also be looked up. After two weeks the parakeet I adopted just died. I called to see what to do with a deceased animal and I was told I could bring him (Burt) in to be sent to a 3rd party to be dispatched. When I came I there was an issue because I did not have a receipt and they did not do look ups.

Our lives have completely changed since we hired Vicky from Bark busters! Mac was a hyper puppy who…read morewanted 24 hour attention from us and if he didn't get his way he wasn't a good boy. Vicky has opened our eyes to the reasons why he acts the way he does and showed us the techniques to use to correct him. We look forward to having Vicky come over and so does Mac. We thought he was just going to be one of those dogs that never learns, but Vicky has changed that forever. If your looking for a great trainer, someone with patience, someone who loves their job, and just an overall great person you have to hire Vicky! We love Mac even more now than we did before because of the good boy he turned out to be and we owe it all to her.

Alexia is awesome! No joke, she makes every bit of the training process amazing…read more Had our 1 year old Great Dane go through training when he was about 6 months at a different place, and it just didn't stick. After being frustrated, started looking and came across Alexia's videos on YouTube. The before and after videos blew me away, so called her up. Alexia took the time to listen to all the issues we were having with Sam, which was great! Decided to set up training with her a month and a half later. Alexia was very detailed and personal about what Sam would be doing during training. She also kept us updated during the training process. Today July 1st we met with Alexia for the handoff and full instructions on commands with Sam. We spent almost an hour going over every detail and questions. We were just blown away how calm sam was. He followed the commands on point. He is more confident and we are more confident in handling him. Alexia is guaranteed for life, which you never see that anywhere! She is open to calls and text messages for any questions we have, so she is very accessible. We couldn't be more happy with the training Sam received. If you are looking for an amazing dog trainer, give her a call, it's worth every penny!

If I could give zero stars, I would. I paid for the two‑week board‑and‑train program that…read moreadvertised "100% obedience" and required a significant financial investment. Instead, my dog came home less trained and with worse behaviors than before. The same day he returned home, he began chewing the carpet and showing new, undesirable behaviors. When we tried to use the methods and tools they gave us, including the e‑collar, he was terrified, and he bit us. He is now clearly fearful of the e‑collar, and he has also started to resource guard me, even biting someone who came near me--behaviors he never showed before attending this program. In my view, they appeared to rely on fear and intimidation rather than humane training, leaving me with a frightened dog who bites and no meaningful obedience training to show for it. When I contacted the trainer about these serious concerns, I was only offered "retraining," which does not address the fact that my dog was not successfully trained in the first place and actually came back worse.

My Belgian malinois Buzz was very reactive towards other dogs and had snapped at a child's hand…read morebefore we decided additional training was necessary for him. My wife and I chose to train with the Sit Means Sit team in may of 22. Kerry and her teams training program was exactly what Buzz and I needed. Just 7 months later, I can confidently take my dog anywhere and know that he will be focused on me when told. Sit means Sit gives us the opportunities to socialize and reinforce the training with their group classes. Buzz also loves his additional 'change of leadership training' that allows him to get used to day camp with a one on one trainer without me being a distraction. I can now confidently leave him at day camp. Best of all, my 9 year old niece practices training with buzz when she visits. Kerry, Sarah, and the Sit Means Sit team has helped and continues to go out of their way to make Buzz a great dog.

Since they deleted my review on Google, I will post it here…read more.. TRASH! Don't hire this woman, unless you want to pay her to harass and verbally attack your law-abiding neighbors, while torturing your dog with an e-collar. In front of the owners, she purposely let their dog CHARGE at my dog and I, before zapping the dog to stop. Walking on the sidewalk, I saw the off-leash dog and waited for them to go into their house and avoid a confrontation. The woman (I didn't know was a "trainer") and I locked eyes, she knew I was respectfully, waiting to cross. However, I didn't realize she was planning to let the dog BOLT towards my dog. She let the dog run at me, across their lawn. She then proceeded to verbally attack me for being upset about it. THIS IS NOT OKAY. I understand they were on their front lawn. But the dog was not secured and an e-collar is not a leash. And of course, how would an innocent bystander know the dog was going to get shocked and turn around. But I should have known, because before this, I heard a dog crying in agony down the street. Obviously, he's not trained. She's just going to torture your dog and call it "trained." Do not pay this woman. I don't care if you're a trainer or not, you don't let a dog run at anyone!!
