I'm so glad we enrolled in Tony's classes at K9 academy because now we have a obedient dog and the confidence to continue with his training throughout the rest of his life. Most people are nervous to bring their beloved pets to trainers for fear of training to be too rough on them, I know we had our concerns when looking into trainers. Tony is very careful and shows you how to properly correct your dog from bad behaviors without hurting them like some of the other extreme methods for dog training. K9 academy charges a fair price for such a great experience, training and confidence you get with training your dog. I loved the fact that if I have questions even outside of class at anytime during the day I can call him for help and he will guide us in the right direction. You can't get that kind of service from any corporate pet store that offers dog training. Tony also never tried to up sell us on any kind of equipment for training or classes that he felt we didn't need. Tony's very passionate about his work and you can really tell his love for dogs when you meet. K9 academy offers so many different class everything from basic obedience to bomb sniffing training so it's easy to find something right for you and pursue your dogs training as high as you'd like. Our puppy is now 8 months old and is an extremely well behaved and gentle dog. Tony will forever train our dogs as we adopt more of them. If I could rate this place any higher than 5 stars I would. Thanks K9 academy.

I first met Nikki back in the late 90's when i had 2 cocker spaniels go through her training. They were great dogs because Nikki played a part in their lives. We used her training techniques throughout their 16 & 17 years. My most recent contact with Nikki has been in relation to her latest litter of Vom Evolution puppies as I have been thinking about getting another dog. I completely trust Nikki, her experience and proven results. Her knowledge and experience specifically with working line german shepherd dogs and all dogs in general makes her one of the best trainers and resources in Pennsylvania. You should also know that she has won many awards, titles and competitions through her hard work and dedication to all dogs and the german shepherd breed. I am editing this to add that Nikki's training facility is spotless. It is easily one of the cleanest animal facilities I have ever been to. She takes pride in her work and it shows.

My 4 month old puppy's ear was torn off by another, older dog that never should have been near the young puppies. Lack of screening of new dogs into this kennel puts dogs needlessly in harm's way. Daycare dogs are outside in runs for a few hours in the morning, then put in crates until pick up. Sometimes they are fed, sometimes not. Customers are not permitted inside the kennel. Why is that?? It is FILTHY. Get your dog as far away from this place as possible. It is dangerous and a public health hazard. My puppy went in for a fun day of daycare. At the end of the day, an inch of his right ear was handed over to me in a Zip Lock baggie. I was told "it was an accident". What???? It was NEGLECT at BEST, a BRUTAL ATTACK for CERTAIN. Save yourself and go elsewhere.

We…read moredidn't get through the first weekend without the puppy biting, chewing and nipping us constantly. It was very frustrating and painful. I called First Class Canine and got a call immediately from trainer, Beth. We signed up and she was able to get our first class in within a week. We saw results immediately and have since signed up for a second round of training. Our puppy is 5 months old now and we elected to keep up his training because of the remarkable progress and all that Beth has and is still teaching us as pet owners. Jack is now the love our family and has a bond with our 5 yr old that I never imagined possible when we first got him. Beth is very knowledgable and knows how to get your dog to do what you need it to without using force or any cruelty. I highly recommend this company to anyone with a new dog or old dog that needs training in anything!

We initially contacted her for help with what we saw as aggression in Reese. Even when my brother was alive it was next to impossible to form a bond with Reese. We figured that she is a one person dog. Simply put, we were scared of her. When we reached out to Caitlin for help her response was that there were reasons for Reese's behavior and that we would explore different avenues. We set up a house visit for our first training. On the day of our visit she explained that before working directly with Reese, she wanted to take a video of us walking Reese. After a couple of minutes of taking the video and observing Reese she determined we should consult with our vet. She was concerned that Reese might actually have a hip or knee problem and be in pain and in need of meds. We made that vet appointment and sure enough Reeese has knee problems. With proper meds, it is everyone's hope that this will relieve some of her pain and hopefully make it easier to work with her. Caitlin's approach is to look at the "whole" dog, as well as teaching us about dog language. We like this approach. Now that we are addressing Resse's physical issues we look forward to our next steps in helping us feel more confident and safe with Reese and her tendencies towards aggression. We understand that this is a process and look forward to working with Caitlin on the rest of this journey! Thank you so much Caitlin!

We'd end each week knowing exactly what to practice with Kiwi, and so far, she has stellar recall when off leash, knows "sit," "down," "go to bed," and is becoming a pleasure to walk with around the neighborhood (she used to be terrified of cars and would not understand leash walking at all). Kiwi's behavior improvements are remarkable, and we have Caitlin to thank!

He would spend hours at a time standing in our living room barking at us and had us at wits end. He would pick and choose when he wanted to listen and when he wanted to do his own thing, and he was so terrified/defensive of other dogs, we worried whenever we took him out where other dogs would be. Now, Chewbacca is a top-notch gentleman. Starr not only taught us and Chewy lots of new commands, more importantly she taught us how to handle him and how to take the lead. Chewy has not only completely transformed in listening to us, but he is also now substantially more comfortable around dogs he doesn't know - something we never believed would happen. What Start was able to teach us and Chewy was absolutely life changing for all of us - thank you Starr!

I had no idea just how much better they could be. Starr has brought us a much more relaxed home and for that I am eternally grateful. A couple ways our life has changed: Everytime I had my windows or doors open my boys would bark at the slightest noise whether it be a car, person, or their shadow. I am now able to sleep with my windows open for the first time in 6 years. My neighbors can be outside and I can have my doors open and my boys no longer bark incessantly. I can now sit on my porch with my boys and enjoy my neighborhood and evenings without my boys going crazy and trying to run all over. My boy Cache used to act like a mongrel walking on a leash. We were unable to take him anywhere. He's literally torn pads on his feet trying to get into the vets office from pulling so hard. Since the training, I am able to walk Cache into the vet, get a weight on him by myself, and Cache will actually lay down and wait to be seen. We used to have to wait in the car and carry him in. We recently brought the boys out for icecream and multiple people have commented on just how well behaved they are. A couple months ago we would have never heard that! In January my boys had a difference of opinion about the ownership of a bone and my boy Damian had bit my Cache. Cache understandably had some trust issues. I felt as though I was walking on eggshells thinking they were going to have continual issues. Starr's training has brought my boys back together and have strengthened their bond with not only me and my husband but also with each other. They are starting to play and cuddle with each other again. "Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do."- Edward Everett Hale Starr's training works! My whole house is much calmer and I have a renewed confidence in my boys and also myself. I feel much more in control. Training was hard work and dedication but my boys are worth it!

I have been looking for a dog groomer for my elderly dog. I…read morerecently relocated from Arizona and haven't been able to get a response from the few groomers I reached out to. I left a message which stated they would get back to me. Since I hadn't heard from them so I decided to call. The owner was very nice when I spoke to her. We set an appointment and I brought my dog in. I arrived a little early and was let in. Again - the greeting was very warm and friendly. They explained other add-ons. I agreed. The cost would be OVER $100.00. I have never paid that for any grooming in any state I have lived in but, I wanted to make this special for my dog. They mentioned that the grooming I wanted would take 4 hours. When I heard that I thought, "Okay, since it's going to take 4 hours - it's going to be great!" When I returned to pick up dog, he looked fine. He smelled great! But, as often is the case - haircuts need to settle. It was not what I had expected. It is pretty uneven in a many places. There was still some matting around his lips. His belly and privates weren't shaved as they should've been. The hair between his pads was mostly still there. I am a little bummed because I don't see where the $110.00 went. I am not sure if the young lady that groomed him had any professional training - but, that's on me for not asking. I'm guessing she started doing this and showed promise and so is continuing to pursue this as a career. She was truly lovely - but that's great customer service not actually hands-on grooming. My advice to you is simply list what you expect and take the time to check it before you leave. My advice to the owner is just be careful and double check what is done and make sure that there is a standard when it comes to the add-ons. I am leaving the 4-Stars because they truly were friendly and I hope they make the necessary adjustments. Would I recommend them? Of course because I felt safe leaving my dog in their hands, but, I am hoping they address the issues so they can thrive. I wish them success. Have a great day.
