Then she and Jacob asked a lot of questions and listened intently at the consultation appointment. Gunther had issues with aggressiveness when he was scared or unsure, he was very hyper and spastic, and we could tell he just didn't know how to behave as a dog in a loving home. We opted to send Gunther away with Anya for the 4 weeks border/training program. He came back to us a completely different dog! Gunther learned so much with Anya! He is a super obedient dog and overall has really calmed down. No more jumping on people, no more aggression, no more spastic behavior, no more scarfing his food...he is visibly a much happier dog! He now understands what is expected of him and he really wants to please. We are so thankful for Anya and her team. We have since participated in group walks and Anya is so caring of and concerned with all the dogs. Anya is also a very kind and patient human trainer (the reality is we dog owners often need as much if not more training on how to handle ourselves!)! No regrets, worth every penny and every bit of time!

Lindsey helped my dog, Leela, and I work through these issues and addressed some basic obedience issues. Leela made such great progress we ended up adopting my step-daughter's 15 lb chihuahua mix. The dogs get along fine with no signs of aggression and none of this would have been possible if not for Lindsey. Lindsey has extensive experience with all aspects of dogs and she is one of a kind, a true gem. Her experience and knowledge, and personalized training was well worth the expense. I would highly recommend Lindsey as a personal dog trainer!

Even when they've canceled on me at the last minute and put me in difficult situations, I continued to support them and even referred others. at the This is no reflection on the groomer. I am hoping they didn't tell her. About a month ago, my younger brother passed away unexpectedly. That same week, I missed a grooming appointment -- the first one I've ever missed -- and realized it about an hour later. I immediately called to reschedule. Instead of any understanding, I was told I would be charged a $35 rescheduling fee. I explained the situation, apologized, and even offered to tip the groomer extra. The woman on the phone was rude, completely unsympathetic, and told me they could not book another appointment unless I paid the fee, even offering to charge the card on file. I declined and then emailed the owners. It's now been about a month, and I have received no response. I understand policies exist, and I even understand that the employee was likely just following them. But as a business owner myself, I also understand that there are moments where compassion and common sense should outweigh rigid rules -- especially for a loyal customer of over a decade. I don't typically leave negative reviews until I've exhausted every avenue with management, but the lack of response speaks volumes. For the sake of a $35 fee, you've lost a loyal customer of 10+ years. That's incredibly disappointing. Do better, Central Bark.

He was a complete nightmare to walk. Lunged at cars and people and animals in a very aggressive way...and he's strong. In addition to other commands, our dog learned to walk better than any dog I've ever owned, pretty much after second class. It's actually pleasant to take him walking now! Thai may be pricey, but in my experience, it was worth every penny because the alternative would be suffering for 14-15 years with a dog who doesn't listen. Jim and katie were fantastic trainers. I couldn't be happier with my decision. I have a brand new dog. Not to mention we get to continue group training for two years all included in the price. If you are on the fence, stop hesitating and do it!

Trust me the training works, the staff at K9 Guide Training are excellent, compassionate, professional trainers. I highly recommend them.

Here's an update to my last review. As you recall, in response to my initial review, the company…read moresaid they'd be willing to offer alternative training services, even though they wouldn't refund the $1850 I paid (or even part of it) . I had to cancel several months in advance due to a health issue with my dog. I reached out to them to see what we could arrange and they put together a contract that required me to take down all my reviews and never write a negative word about them ever again in order to render those services. The agreement also included a liquid damages provision, which would have required me to pay them money if I wrote anything disparaging about them. Obviously I did not sign such an agreement since I had no idea what kind of services they would be rendering. Although they had $1850 of my money, they had not rendered any services so I had no clue as to the quality of the work. I didn't think it was fair to take down a review or be stopped from posting a review that would benefit other customers. So, instead of training services, I asked them to send me the equipment that they would have used to train my dog, and I would hire another trainer. Despite numerous attempts to reach them, they have not answered that request or sent the equipment. To me, their response to my original review was just a bunch of words. In my opinion, they don't care anything about my dog, just the money. I don't believe either of these things are good qualities in a dog trainer. I hope this review helps.

Chase & Chloe were so gracious and helpful during the booking process. It was easy to book a private play session, I've already booked two more. They were both at the door to welcome us when we arrived. The room was clean, spacious, safe and had plenty to do. There was even a cute sign customized for Winnie and George Bailey! Drawers full of balls, puzzles, frisbees, chew toys, snuggle mats. Treats. Agility equipment. And not crappy temu stuff, regulation agility equipment that is safe to use! There was a coffee bar for humans and lots of books for reference as well. The corgs could have played for much longer, but they were so happy to have some chase and play time. They host play groups, seems like it's done by size. When you book a session, it costs $28 and it is a private session for 30 minutes. I highly recommend this for your dogs socialization, and especially for high energy dogs stuck inside in this cold weather!
