In our first session with Kat (PAwsitive Transformations), she gave me so much hope. My dog learned very quickly with her help and retained it after she left. Kat is very flexible and easy to work with, truly loves dogs and it shows in her work. I highly recommend PAWsitive Transformations! read more

Specialties

At Pawsitive Transformations each session and program is tailored to meet your desired outcome. I work with you & all of your family members, teaching you all how to keep your dog's engagement to increase duration, distance, and add in distractions. Using a variety of methods all based upon positive reinforcement and successive approximation. Through these methods, I will teach you how to clearly and effectively communicate. Your dog will be excited and eager to learn! Using a positive approach to motivate your dog with enthusiasm and respect instead of fear and pain, the result will be a well-behaved and balanced dog. If you currently use electronic collars, prong collars, or choke collars, I will gladly work with you and your pup to transition away from pain and use positive reinforcement and successive approximation techniques.

This store is a pass. The moment we walked in, there was a very unpleasant smell noticed. The smell…read morepersisted while walking throughout the store. It was a combination of foul water and a diaper smell. Perhaps the fish tanks and pet stations need a cleaning? We came in search of harnesses. They had a good variety. The prices were a bit high, and the displays were a bit disheveled. A lot of the harnesses we became fond of, unfortunately, were out of stock in the size we needed. We then went to look at the treats aisle and noticed a handful of dog food bags that were on the bottom shelves had an accumulation of dried urine on them. Just something to note and advise to perhaps not purchase any items from any bottom shelf. In our entire visit, we also noticed no one greeted us, asked if we needed assistance, etc. We ended up leaving and headed to the Petco just down the road and had a much better experience there.

We walked in and first noticed no foul odors and then were quickly greeted by a friendly staff member. We came in looking for harnesses. Their merchandise is well stocked with organized, clean, and cute displays. They have a good selection of harnesses, leads, collars, and flotation vests for dogs. We were also pleasantly surprised to find a good clearance section too. While walking around the store, we stopped by the small animals for sale. Happily, they all looked healthy. We appreciate how clean and tidy this store was kept as well as how friendly and helpful the staff were. We'll definitely return to this Petco for any future needs for our dog if we can't find it first from a mom and pop store and need the selection. Highly recommend.

Chattanooga, Tennessee…read more I don't have any pets, but I've recently been spending a lot of time near the Ark pet facility off East Brainerd. As I type this at 12:30 AM, all I can hear is the sound of those poor dogs barking almost all night, starting around 9 or 10 PM and lasting until about 5 AM. If I had any pets, I would definitely not be sending them there.

The new staff seemed somewhat friendly, the manager was nice. However, we asked twice - two different days to please Clip our dog nails. They never did, but charged us. They separated our dogs at one point, which made our Vishlas anxiety go up the roof because they are Velcro dogs, she's a Velcro to her brother River. Anywho, I called them to let them know I wasn't impressed. After getting hung up twice then placed on hold for a total of 17 minutes, the lady just said OK and hung up after I let her know our animals will no longer be attending. After spending probably 25k over the past 2-3 years.. one were to assume that regulars are treated a bit better. I miss the old staff

As soon as you walk in, you can tell that the place is not taken care of. Things are falling apart, broken. Also it has an overwhelming stench of urine. I understand when you have an establishment filled with animals, there will be accidents but this was brought to another level. The dog kennels are small and dark, and the outside area allows for almost no room to move except just to pace. I inquired about scheduled play times with other dogs in which I was told there were none. You do have the option to pay an additional fee for someone to play with your dog one-on-one only once a day. It was very upsetting just thinking of bringing my dog here.

I came first…read morething in the morning to pick them up and was told they were not ready, that they needed to be washed because they were dirty. I thought that was odd and maybe they just stunk from playing with other dogs. However, when I picked them up two hours later I was told they had to be washed because they were covered in feces. The girl who worked there asked if they had ever been boarded before because they seemed to have some issues. I recently moved here from out of state and have to go back home constantly, my dogs are boarding around every two months (I usually go to a different company whom was booked this time)! She said they didn't seem to like the crate...which it was my understanding when I booked it that they wouldn't be in a crate. My real concern is that my 11 year old Golden Retriever was sent home with poop matted to his stomach, neck and butt. He spent all day yesterday constipated and having stomach issues. He was up four times in the middle of the night as well. I had to pay a groomer to shave his fur off and give him a good bath as well as bring him to the vet in the AM to make sure his butt is not infected. Based on what the groomer said, she thinks they were just left in crates and had to sit in their own filth! The girls at the counter were friendly and I feel bad writing a bad review but when I pay for my dogs to be taken care of, I don't expect to pick them up and wonder what happened while they were there. My dogs are like my children and I would definitely not recommend boarding your dog there as I wish I hadn't!! JULY UPDATE: I called on two separate occasions to speak to the owner and left a message and never heard back.

She couldnt get comfortable lying down. Classic signs of congestive heart failure. My normal vet did not have any openings for a week. I found this place during a google search. They got her in right away. They provided me a number of option and reccommendations. I decided to pay for the expensive stuff EKG, Ultrasound etc. They found exactly what I thought and immediatly gave her a lasix treatment to reduce the fluid retention. within hours she was breathing 100% better. The test showed Enlarged Heart, Glitchy Mitral valve and Congestive heart failure. The meds prescribed have worked great so far. She is on the schedule to see there cardiac specialist on 8/10. Yes it wasn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. This place is open 24/7. Of course the overhead is high. They have all the specialist and equipment you could ask for. I did have to wait longer than initially told. However, they are an emergency clinic! They prioritise the most sick or injured. Which I appreciate. If my waiting two hours longer than expected allows someone else's babies to survive than so be it.

The level of incompetence at this place is unmatched. From the vets (they don't finish their notes…read moreon the day of the appointment so you have to wait to get your pets records, the ER vet we saw forgot something and had to ask his assistant to go fix something for another pet while he was in the room with us and then we asked for fluids to administered to our cat along with a medicine and he said he was going to go do it and it would be 5 min and 40 min later the vet tech said he was 'really busy' and couldn't do it before our cat wasn't sedated anymore and so they just didn't do it). The vet tech told us completely inaccurate information twice including that we didn't owe an additional invoice while he handed us $150 medication that sells on Chewy for half that, and telling us the incorrect way to administer the medicine per the label on it. And then the admin staff... over several speciality visits they told me they were going to send records and they just don't. Twice now I've had to call and make a scene after two and half days go by to get my cat's medical records. They also lie about what's going on in the back. When we asked for our cat they said they were putting him in his carrier and then 10 minutes later we asked again and they said the same thing. They just say whatever to not deal with people. The wait times are also horrendous. I've never spent less than three hours here. Then the finance billing person told me she wouldn't send my records until I paid my balance which is ILLEGAL. I told her that, she said it again, I told her it was illegal again and then she finally sent them, but had to be threatened with legal action. The worst part though? We learned nothing about what is going on with our seriously ill cat after a neurology visit, and multiple ER visits. They just referred me to another specialist within their practice. This place is a SCAM and my cat was worse off than before he went in there. Go to AESC!

He came home housebroken, crate trained, walks beautifully, has excellent manners (for the most part) around people and other dogs, and every few days we discover another piece of his training. It's clear Jake invested months into giving him a foundation that lasts beyond the training facility. What I appreciate most is that Beau is still completely himself. He's goofy, energetic, curious, and excited about life. The training didn't change his personality, it gave him structure and confidence. We're still at the very beginning of our journey together, and I'm sure there will be plenty for all of us to learn over the coming years. But starting with a dog who already has this kind of foundation has been an incredible gift. If the first two weeks are any indication, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jake and Anvil K9.

You honestly need to change how you manage you pup Intake have A groomer take care of a pup till completion!! Maybe try and not multitask several pups to one person at the same time. I was truly hoping this was our spot but never will go here again !! EVER!!!
