Lies. Never asked how my dog was behaving, eating, etc. He never took vitals. He couldn't even get blood.
Jessica S.

Update: We received the forms back from the vet last night. He lied all over them. He never asked us how our dog was eating, activity level, etc., but said in the form that everything was normal. He never took vitals either. The firm said we refused to allow him to restrain the dog or muzzle. We refused a muzzle. We never said that he couldn't restrain our other dog -- we told him to hold him another way so he wouldn't squirm. We also offered to help to make it go smoother. We never refused to pay -- he refused service and didn't revise our bill. So the vet is a liar on top of incompetent. RUN!! ------ We had the WORST experience ever here! We went for vaccinations and they didn't even have the right equipment to administer them (and told us to go shopping for it)! The "vet" couldn't find a vein on my first dog to draw blood, so he blew the whole thing off and gave him some vaccinations anyway. Then he refused to treat my other (extremely docile) dog because HE couldn't hold him the right way, and WE wouldn't let the dog be muzzled. (Our dog is a rescue and doesn't like the be held over his back, and needs to be held from underneath or he will squirm, never bite.) The vet tech was too scared to perform the basic functions of his job and took extra long for everything, creating a huge line. We also watched the vet fail to properly administer two other puppies' oral meds, and he gave the syringe to the poor owner to do it herself. And not so "low cost" either. It was going to be $317 for two dogs for basic vaccinations and six months of heart medicine (not even a rabies tag or license). Best of all, the store manager said that "he couldn't argue with the vet" -- even after he had heard how horrible the service was and the kind of treatment we were getting. So we left with one dog sort of vaccinated and none for the second. AND the clinic never completed our first dog's medical records, so we don't even know what shots he really got. You are better off going ANYWHERE to get your dog vaccinated! Run away!!!

This review is specifically about Petco's training program. The store itself is fine; it's exactly what you'd expect of a Petco. We're now 3 weeks into a 6 week program, and I am extremely pleased with Petco's dog training classes. The classes are small and affordable: max 3 dogs per class and around $100 for the six weeks. Dogs displaying aggression or who are unruly will be directed to private classes, so you don't have to worry about the safety of your dog during class. We adopted a new dog last summer, and he has had some mild behavioral issues: not consistently coming when called, tugging on his leash, getting too excited when we pass another dog. This class has helped us get him to follow several basic commands that will be useful in directing him toward productive behaviors. It's a controlled environment, so it's been much easier to train him here than at home. Once he learns the commands here, he follows them beautifully at home. The trainer, Janeth, is great. It was important to me to take my dog to a program that uses reward and praise rather than fear and punishment; Petco has surpassed my expectations in that regard. Janeth has showed us how to set my dog up for success so that he learns more easily and in a positive environment. If your dog could benefit from training, I highly recommend Petco's program. It's been a great experience for all of us.

I would strongly advise anyone considering AYP Training to think twice before sending their dog…read morethere. After having our dog for 24 days, it became very clear there was a complete lack of communication, professionalism, and understanding of our living situation. We live in a high-rise condo, yet somehow they spent weeks training our dog to go outside in a backyard setting -- something that does not apply to our home at all. How this was never clarified during nearly a month of training is beyond concerning. What's even more upsetting is that our dog came back terrified of car rides, which was never an issue before. As owners, that is heartbreaking to witness. After reviewing the videos and conditions of the trainer's home, we were honestly shocked. The house appeared trashed, chaotic, and nowhere near the professional environment we were promised when paying for "professional" dog training services. Nothing about this experience reflected the level of care, structure, or quality that was advertised. We invested a significant amount of money trusting this company with our dog, and the results were disappointing from start to finish. Between the misrepresentation, poor communication, and lack of professionalism, this experience felt extremely misleading. Save your money and do your research before trusting this company with your pet.

Dee came out to our house to give initial obedience lessons (actually, to train us!), and we followed up with group lessons at their facility. It's a great opportunity to drill in the basics, learn strategies to get your dog paying attention to you, heel, walk on a leash without pulling, follow basic commands. Attending the group sessions is also wonderful for socializing your dog. Beyond the basics they have agility training and other advanced classes. AYP also has excursions like a beach day... we're hoping to catch that with our current foster dog Velcro!

He is so obedient and for a guardian dog his obedience training needed to start early. He learned so many things and I learned so much as well.

I highly recommend this company for always treating Mr Bear with so much care and compassion!

My…read moredog, Wrigley, attended service dog boot camp for an entire month with her wonderful trainers. They set up a consultation to discuss my specific tasks for Wrig to work on to help me have an easier life. Wrigley left me as a highly energetic rescue dog with so much love and no spacial awareness. She was extremely smart but didn't know how to use it. After a month with Cadence K9 she came home a smart, fully aware, still so loving, extremely helpful service dog. They not only taught her basic commands to help me in every day life, but they taught her critical thinking in every day life. She went on field trips to get public training and she absolutely knew when she was working and when she wasn't. I was blown away. Just a week or so ago, several months after her training camp, Wrigley and I were out and about shopping. I was standing at a counter purchasing something and Wrigley noticed people walking close behind me. She switched on her own and made herself a protective barrier between me and the crowd. Not long after that I was walking through a restaurant and tripped and fell on a rug. Wrigley ran to the nearest person and got their attention to come help me up. I'm not sure how you train a dog to do that specifically, but I do know they helped Wrigley understand her purpose and role in life when she is working for me. For that I am forever grateful to the wonderful trainers at Cadence K9! They changed Wrigleys life and have helped my life so much! I will always recommend the amazing trainers at Cadence K9 and I think Wrigley's overwhelming excitement every time she sees one of the trainers will back me up on that.
