Lovelovelove Doggie Central! (both locations are great, the Port Credit location is closest to our…read morehome) We started taking our dog to the Lenworth location for puppy training. The trainers were knowledgeable, interested, and gave us some really personalized tips and tricks for how to deal with the most stubborn dog I know! We are planning on continuing with their obedience training in Port Credit - in just 4 weeks of puppy foundations, we really noticed a difference in his behaviour. In addition to training, our dog LOVES daycare here at the Port Credit location. The staff say that he never lies down, and is just in seventh heaven the entire time. He comes home EXHAUSTED every time (full days and half days). I like that the staff is involved with the play time as well - they get in there and really get to know all of the dogs. I also trust that they will keep my dog safe and supervise all activities. They know all of the dogs well, and really understand how to handle all of their personalities. Only slight downsides: No play sessions during the summer! Closed on Sundays (everyone deserves a day off) Price - The price of daycare is pretty much on par with most of the other places in the area (so, not cheap), but I did pay $30 for just a bath.. not sure I'll do that again. They do a really good job with grooming though; actually listened to what we wanted. Sometimes the web cams aren't working, and all I want to do is pretend to be doing work while I watch our guy scamper around! All-in-all - such a fabulous place, with great staff and great doggy friends to be made!

We were at wits end with our 8 month old sheepadoodle Ozzie. 8 weeks of puppy training at another…read moreplace did nothing. Our dog was constantly pulling on the leash while walking, my wife's arm was always sore. We are amazed at the progress, we just completed a novice class. We now have a well behaved dog on walks and have the tools we need to correct any new issues. Thanks for saving our mutt from the pound, Eric !

Hate leaving bad reviews, but... this class isn't worth the money…read more In short: Too much talk much and not enough practice. Very little learned. In details: Eric tells a lot of stories and then runs out of time to let us run thru the exercise to make sure everyone got the concept. He isn't very friendly or approachable. Yells at people when they do it wrong, but doesn't say what they are doing wrong. The training room is large, but there are 10-12 dogs in there, so it feels very crowded. The acoustics in the large space is terrible, hard to understand what he is saying for normal people, never mind older people or those that English isn't their 1st language. Ridiculous late policy, claims you can't be 5 minutes late, yet he talks so much and repeats the same thing so many times, doesn't really matter when you come in. But sure, it's nice when everyone is there on time. Doesn't allow any dog interaction, as such people aren't able to chat either, so you end up standing there for nearly 1 hour listening to him, do a bit of practice and back out the door. For 10 weeks of class, very few commands are learned. Recall class was very weak, not a major emphasis as advertised. This might be a personal preference, but some people might want to know. The training feel fear based, or as he might say respect based, not a positive type of training. Physical corrections are harsh. All in all, too expensive, little practice, too little learned, Eric is too harsh with people and dogs.

I have a 14 month old miniature schnauzer who made it very difficult for me to allow people into my…read morehome, and to walk by people on our walks, as she is very people reactive. It was embarassing daily when she barked and lunged at people for no apparent reason. I had my first 2 hour lesson with Jason last night, and the difference I can see in my Teeka already has made me enjoy our walk this evening, instead of me feeling uneasy of her reactions towards people we pass on our walks. I would highly recommend Jason as he was able to assess my dog's unwanted bullying behaviour as "guarding me" in my house and in public. He showed me how to take control at home, and and on our walks. I look forward to our next 3 sessions and a calmer and socially graceful pup.

Jason is the puppy whisperer. It's as simple as that. He understands dogs and dogs understand him…read more My puppy is my first dog and I had no idea what I was doing. My fear of doing the wrong thing was affecting my dog and was making me an ineffective dog owner. Jason corrected my behaviour so that we could correct my puppy's behaviour. She's 6 months old right now and is a very relaxed and well adjusted pup. Nobody ever tells you just how much work having a puppy is and Jason put my mind at ease and gave me the confidence to take her out and not over react to situations because now I KNOW that she will come when called. With Jason's help I learned to enjoy my puppy and everything that comes with being a puppy. I realize that her puppyhood is short lived and I am enjoying every minute of it. Within my first meeting with Jason I learned the basics of what to do and what not to do, what dogs need in order to thrive, (and no, it's not just bones and love) and how to properly communicate with my dog to let her know what I want from her. Trust is key in a relationship with your pet and I wouldn't have learned that without Jason's help. No amount of reading puppy books or talking to other dog owners will give you the in depth knowledge and hands on experience that Jason will provide. If you're doing something wrong, Jason will tell you and understand that this is what's best for your pet. Mango and I both love Jason and would highly recommend him to any old or new pet owners. Thanks Jason, see you at the dog park!

I took a previous dog to Trimark and was quite happy with the classes. So, when I got my next dog I…read moredecided to go back. Unfortunately, they had hired a new trainer. He spent 75% of each class talking about himself and his dog. It wascquite obvious that his dog was well trained but I was there for my dog. There was little to no actual instruction and even less in class practice time. My dog actually developed behavioural problems during these classes which mysteriously went away after the course was over. I really enjoyed my first experience here. It's unfortunate to see how far downhill its gone.

Linda's courses have been instrumental in ensuring that our Daisy will heel, sit, stay, all the stuff I need so that I am in control, and not the dog. This is the second dog we have trained at Tri-Mark, both have had similar successful results. I highly recommend Tri-mark for anyone who needs to connect with and get control of their dog, whether it is for basic obedience or up to show training. Tri-Mark shows you how to do it with their easy to follow steps, and training your dog in a class environment will keep you on track to ensure success. Thanks Linda and Robert!

They are…read morenot able to handle a nervous dog, they want to rush dogs to finish fast, and they throw work at each other, l witnessed that myself. My dog is nervous and they made him hate grooming. Last time l was there, Eden, the groomer, was yelling at me, yes, yelling, because my dog didn't cooperate with her and she wanted me to bring him every 2 months instead of 6, though l told her he hates grooming and once he sees the place, he refuses to leave the car. She charged me double and when l tipped her in her hand, she didn't even bother to say thank you. I called the supervisor and she offered a refund as an apology, and when l told her l won't bring him back for full grooming, they blocked me from all petsmart branches. PATHETIC and vindictive. I have never seen such an attitude!

Save your money. I bought a cargo liner for my Jeep. Yes it took awhile to finally get here. I…read morebought it because it seemed to be a better design than others. It did install easily, but that's as much "pro" as I can give. The Velcro tape doesn't stick to the plastic sides of the Jeep. It pulled loose the first day. Will not stay in place. My dogs slide from side to side, unlike their statement that they wouldn't. I'd had the liner for three days before I filled out their form requesting a return label and instructions for returning for a "FULL REFUND" Ha Ha. Its' been over a week now and I haven't heard anything back yet.

Do not order from this company. Unbeknownst to me before shipping they ship from China. It took a…read morelittle less than a month for me to receive the harness. There is a flaw in the designs of their harnesses. The straps they use are a smoother nylon and after tightening them up they slid back down very quickly. After adjusting the vest to fit my dog the straps loosened back up so badly the vest just hung on my dog. This happened within 30 minutes. When I contacted the company their solution was a refund after I shipped the vest back to China at my experience, sent the company a tracking number and wait another month to get refunded. Plus the vest has to be dog hair free and dirt free. So basically give them $80 for a defective vest, wait a month get the defective vest, them pay to ship the defective vest back to China, and give the company a tracking number, wait for another month to pass for them to get the vest in China and hope and pray the accept your return and gamble if you'll actually get a refund and however long that takes. The website is deceptive claiming to be an American company. Maybe they are but it doesn't matter if you deal with China to get it in the first place and also for returns. Very bad company! Very poor customers service, the vests they sell are useless.
