Our Aussiedoodle was trained by Ivory and Bryce for two weeks while we were out of town. They did a…read morefine job teaching her the basic commands, and then the ball was our court to see if we could maintain/continue her training and good behavior in our real-life situation at home. We found it tough at first to maintain the good behaviors when there were the inevitable distractions, but the great thing about Ivory and Bryce was that they always answered our questions over the phone, and were always available (with a bit of scheduling, of course). With continued challenges, we scheduled a follow-up at a park, to let them observe our handling and re-show us the effective methods we did not quite get when we first picked her up from Bulletproof. This follow-up was fantastic, and we've done much better since. A suggestion would be to spend more time when you first pick up your dog to practice the training. We had about two hours, which probably was not enough time to let us practice with Ivory and Bryce the way we got to during our follow-up session with them. Ivory and Bryce are enthusiastic people who love your dog and want to achieve success for both you and your little beast.

This business was highly recommended by my SIL. They say the training is 100% guaranteed. That's…read moreis absolutely untrue. I found there to be no backing behind this. After speaking to the owner and explaining that the training was not working, he did not offer me any kind of resolution or refund. He recommended that I get a different breed of dog and so "kindly" offered to train a new breed for "free". My dog did not get the training that most dogs do, which is within their facility. So many dogs at their facility had kennel cough, so my dog received training outside of the facility for a very short amount of time every day (within the training duration) maybe, if my dog had received the type of training that I had paid for and there weren't so many sick dogs at Bulletproof, which is very questionable in itself my dog may have benefited from the training.

Elissa worked with us 4-5 times, but mostly she gave me the understanding, skills and followup exercises to work with my dog myself. She explained behavior theory behind the exercises, showed me how to properly carry them out. She followed each training session with detailed notes and other resources. Success wasn't instant, but steady. With Elissa's help, I have a trustworthy companion whom I feel comfortable letting off leash.

It was helpful to have a dedicated time and place to focus on training our dog with expert oversight when corrections were needed.

They offered collar (for leash training) treat, and behavior recommendations and achieved a good balance of individual pup and group instruction. Our pup loved the socialization as well.

I started as a foster with PORT in their early days of conception and fostered with them for…read moreseveral months before they decided to completely ghost me. I ran into a situation where I needed some work done at my home, and I could not continue to foster the FOURTEEN foster pets that I had through them at the time. Rather than work with me, help me, and have empathy for my situation, I experienced a lot of pushback, and negative reactions to needing a break from fostering. My phone calls and texts were not being returned. When they were returned, I was met with attitude and a complete lack of understanding or compassion. After much resistance, they finally took the fosters back. They don't supply their fosters with food or supplies as they claim. Not once was I given any supplies for the dozens of animals that I fostered through them, even when I expressed that the puppies I was fostering were going through more food than I could manage. They also don't spay and neuter most of their animals before adoption. Now that I am back in my home, neither Regan, nor Jaime, (the founders of PORT), will return my messages asking about the well-being of my former fosters. If you bend over and break your back for them, you'll be great. But God forbid life happens and you find yourself unable to help, because you then mean NOTHING to them. Proceed with caution should you decide to do any sort of business with PORT. Don't expect a lot of help. Definitely don't expect compassion and empathy when life happens. Edit in response to PORT's reply: Port requires a minimum of 5 days notice for return, except in cases of emergency. I had an emergency. I explained this to you guys over and over and over again and your response was, "that must be tough." I had a dog through you that was being aggressive with a child. But you guys didn't consider a threat to someone's safety an emergency and were of no help. In some cases, I waited more than 5 days for you to help; I waited literally weeks! Not to mention that that dog was pregnant, and when I took her, you never advised me that that was a possibility. So I ended up with eight puppies, when I agreed to one. It was never "clear to you" that our foster relationship had come to its conclusion and that I wished to step away. I quite literally told you that once I was back in my home, I would take the animals back if they still needed placement. I notified you on July 10th that I could not handle all of the puppies. You did not take them until July 18th, and that was only after I showed up to get their shots and microchips, and had to PLEAD with you to help me. I notified both of you that Rusty was a safety risk, and you literally did not care. Even after notifying you of the unsafe circumstances, it took you two days to take her, and that was only after I refused to give you any more leeway. That was also after I had notified you on July 10th that I could not handle all of the animals that I had. You did not take Rusty back until July 31st. I let you know on July 28th that I was having trouble getting the kittens adopted. I notified you on August 4th that we needed to move the kittens. You did not take them until August 15th. As for the spay/neuter, it's irresponsible for a rescue not to spay and neuter before adoption, regardless of any contract. I also asked, several times, about getting my fosters fixed, and you never followed through. Don't gaslight me. You did enough of that when I was actually fostering with you.

All these years later I still get compliments on how well behaved he is, especially for his breed. This is the reason, now that I have obtained another husky puppy, that I have returned with the new dog! Mary Jo is a very experienced and compassionate trainer. She really cares about the dogs and wants them to succeed. Prices are on point with similar facilities. During 2020 they are requiring masks, limiting class sizes, 1 person per dog, and have the floor marked for 6ft distancing (which would be standard to keep the dogs apart anyways, so its observed). Discounts are offered if you buy more than one session at once, or decide to continue to the next level by wk 7. There is also a referral discount. Many different times are available from daytime, to evening, to weekends, so something for everyone. They also offer agility classes here once youve completed all the obedience levels. Private training sessions are also offered for a reasonable fee. As an experienced pet owner, and vet tech, I highly recommend this spot for your dog. I used to do obedience myself, but saw such a major difference when I started taking my pets to classes with other dogs.
