I brought home my new German Shepard two days ago from Alabama Canine. He is AWESOME and…read moreunbelievably well trained!!! I haven't had a dog in over 20 years...and I was nervous...puppies are cute but I knew I needed a dog with a strong foundation in obedience; I wouldn't be very good at housebreaking, keeping off of furniture, chewing, running away with the leash -- and all of those "cute" things that puppies do. After literally years of talking about it, I took a chance and trusted the judgment and skill of Emily Richardson at Alabama Canine. She suggested a puppy with just the right temperament, and then that puppy stayed with her for board and train for a few months. My cuz and I picked him up last Sunday, and then started the 4 day, almost 1800 mile drive home to Las Vegas. He was PERFECT! He spent all day in SUV in his crate, entertaining himself better than most adults on such a long drive. No whining, no barking, no accidents, nothing. He had his deer antler and his squeaky toy....and he really was perfect. Each night at the hotel he always let us know he had to go outside to do his biz. Even though he is still a puppy, and everyday was something new with brand new people, he was always happy and loving -- he LOVES people! We got home two days ago, and he has settled in as if he's lived in Vegas his whole life :-). I asked Emily to train him for the pool in addition to his obedience training....and he is swimming laps! We all have so much fun just watching him chase his ball in the water. But most importantly....Emily spent the time on pick-up day going thru his training with me, wrote down all I needed to know about transferring his training to me, and off we went. Now that we are home, we practice his training every day, and he is so much better behaved than I ever hoped for. Took to his doggie door immediately for the outside biz. Finally, I want to say that Emily texted (is that a word?) me pictures, updates and little videos of his training almost every day -- and it really may have been every single day. I'm so grateful to her and Alabama Canine for my beautiful well-behaved puppy. Sally Miller

I contemplated reviewing this and keeping my opinion to myself but if what I feel like happened is…read moreremotely true it needs to be shared for others to be wary. Ever since 2019 my dog has been staying at BJs and typically adores it there. I even let a five star review several years ago. Upon his last stay late May 2024 he acted very different upon pick up. He was kenneled for roughly 4 days and once he saw familiar family faces he almost took the door down to get out. He had a bath (& usually typically does) the last day before pick up and I'm led to believe he had to lay in his own filth during his entire stay as he had his first ever UTI (he is 6). He peed in the truck on the way home, peed in the house around 6 more times back to back the same day and he has not EVER done that (not since he was a puppy potty training). I always opt to pay $5 daily for him to have a raised pet bed & the largest bedroom suite but I feel he was NOT given that considering he acquired a uti. He wasn't let out enough or he just laid there in filth. I felt in my gut as a doggy mommy (& mommy of twin tots) when he was picked up that he was mistreated while he was there and I will never bring him back. It's unfortunate we have to go this route with BJs but I can't risk it happening again. EDITED TO ADD: I did try to call BJs 3-4 times that day and even the next day for answers & nobody ever answered or called me back. In the past I usually would always get a return call from BJs from a nice girl and didn't even have to leave a voicemail for her to call me back. No longer the case. It seems this establishment is going downhill fast due to careless staff.

It's been 3 months since my dog died at this business and there's still been no accountability by…read morethe owner. My dog was violently mauled to death and the owner's response was to block my number when I was upset upon the news. Furthermore, he never offered any condolences, never so much as refunded me, and he lied about his credentials. As of April, he's a LLC but he advertised he was when I took my dog to his business in March and that wasn't true. He also advertised he was a certified trainer and that wasn't true. Do what you think is the best for your dog, but please be aware of all sides. It has been 3 months and I'm still completely heartbroken. I wouldn't recommend this business under any circumstances and I'm so traumatized by what happened I don't feel comfortable ever going back to a training and even the idea of leaving my other dog at a grooming facility gives me anxiety.
