Our dogs always come back relaxed, well rested, and happy, which makes the time away from our sweet pups much more relaxing for us, too! It is nice to know that we are leaving our four-legged children with people who truly CARE about animals, and the proof is in the results. Our dogs don't even hesitate to go into the kennel, anymore...they get excited for their own "doggie vacay"! If you are looking for the BEST care for your pups...and a fun experience for you, too (miniature ponies, goats, ducks...and the sweetest cat), look no further! Sandy Creek is a special find, preferred by both humans and dogs!

We come here have been coming here since I got him in April and I could not be happier. He went from a scared little puppy scared of his own shadow to this little puppy who listens to me when I tell him to come when I tell him to sit etc. and he's overall just a happy puppy now thanks to the love and the caring of these two lovely ladies at the good dog. They have taught me the tricks of the trade or at least some of them so far and it has really been a joy. I highly recommend them.!!

Now, she is a 3 year old dog who is sometimes too smart, like when she tries to guess what command we are about to ask for.

We also took agility class with Amber, and that was so much for both owners and puppy. Couldn't recommend this place enough!

Dr. Rob is very knowledgeable and competent, also he goes in depth during the diagnoses process so as a pet parent you feel that your fur kid is in good hands. We had adopted a 8 year old hound last year, his bottom teeth were so worn, and really bothered him. Dr. Rob took our pup in and fixed an infected one first and then he had another visit for the second tooth. He was kept the entire day for each appt. to make sure he didn't have any complications. They also accept Care Credit as well which is a Plus. They can offer more services and vaccines but take in account for mindful patients who know what environment their kid lives in...indoors vs outdoors or needs to be boarded often, all require different vaccinations. The cat might be in the kennel area, but the dog photo is not, they have two large areas for dogs, each gets a bed and they have different prices. Lastly, they have a huge enclosure as well that the pups get to use as well.

My sister's cat Tiggers had an aural hematoma and she asked for my help since she couldn't afford…read moreto pay to take him to the Vet. When asked where she normally went for vet care, she said Salty Paws near where she lives in Hampton. Since I live in VA Beach, I asked my son to drive the 45mins north to take Tiggers to the vet. Visit #1 on 6 Nov: $500, said needed some shots and flea treatment and to come back 10 Nov. Attempted Visit #2: Major wreck and fire on the 64. Took my son over an hour to drive from VA Beach For Tiggers scheduled appointment and turned away for being FOUR minutes late. FOUR! after an hour drive across town. Told to come back the next day. By the way, I am a Navy healthcare provider and it is preposterous to turn someone away prior to 15minutes past the scheduled appointment time as we take into consideration traffic and travel throughout the Hampton Roads area. Visit #3 11 Nov: another $500 for them to put a straw through his ear, give some more meds and scheduled follow up 2 weeks later. 1 week later and the poor cat is still miserable without any obvious decrease of swelling to his ear. Blood is matted into his fur down the side of his face. So we decide to take him to a local vet in VA Beach. We simply can't wait another week because we're really concerned for the misery of this cat. Being turned away for being 4mins late the last time really ticked me off and I was no longer feeling like I wanted to continue care with Salty Paws at this point. Local Vet takes one look at Tiggers and exclaims: What the HECK is that???!!! Do you mind if we take a picture so we can train our vets on what NOT to do??? The straw that was supposed 'drain' his ear, literally went straight through-- so how the heck was this providing any drainage?? The blood and pus seeped out from around the straw, not through it. And of course another $500 for that visit. Vet pulled out the tube, gave some more meds plus an antibiotic (since Salty Paws didn't give him one despite being at major risk for infection) fully drained the ear, kindly shaved the area where the fur had gotten filled with blood, and then had to stitch up the mangled mess that was done at Salty Paws. The Vet was also incredibly concerned that Salty Paws didn't have any detailed medical documentation about the treatment they provided Tiggers. For human healthcare this would be considered MALPRACTICE. This place felt like they were more concerned with a cash grab than actually improving the health of my cat in swift, compassionate way. Tiggers (now my family cat adopted from my sister) got his stitches out today and is feeling much better.

I've been bringing my dogs to On Command Dog Training for at least 3 years now. I've had the…read morepleasure of receiving dog training from 7 different trainers (1 was a substitute). Each trainer was extremely professional, knowledgeable and able to effectively communicate the lesson material, corrections to my dogs' behavior, suggestions for additional training, and most importantly, providing me the skills and confidence to continue to train my dog outside of the classroom. Another major, and I mean big deal "major", valued trait about all the On Command Trainers I've had, is their non-stop emphasis on using positive reinforcement to correct a dog's behavior. Personally, I've found that positive reinforcement leaves an open and enthusiastic communication channel between me and my dogs; my dogs don't shut down to training because they are being yelled at, just the opposite, my dogs keep an open mind and are eager to learn new things because they are strongly and positively encouraged to do the right thing. Hey, I'm not saying training can't be frustrating, but I've learned from On Command that negative actions and comments shut your dog down, they loose confidence and, for them, training isn't fun anymore. My experiences with On Command Dog Training have been extremely valuable to enhancing the safety and enjoyment of my life with my dogs. I strongly recommend them.
