What a nice place to leave your pet for a day. We were camping up at the Fryeburg fair in Maine not…read moretoo far away from here. We wanted to go on the railway up Mount Washington so we needed a babysitter for the day for Cannoli. This place was clean and big and bright and very reasonably priced. When we brought Cannoli I asked if they had a groomer there because his hair was getting in his eyes. We went to pick him up and discovered that he had not been the best boy. I guess he got tired of being in the room with the little dogs and wanted to go out. He is a real people lover. So they had him in a different section with a bowl of water and he was fine. His hair had been trimmed around his eyes and looked perfect. It was a great experience and I'm happy to know that they are there if we need them.

We brought our seventeen year old papillon for two days last weekend to Karla's Pet Rendezvous. Our first impression was great. They were very friendly and they said they were waiting for us. Someone took our dog right away and said she would be with her. The woman at the desk received our dog's bag and started taking notes of everything we needed with respect to feeding our dog. We gave her a new bag of very special food and explained how to serve it. We told her also that we left a can of food, only in case of need. She was saying yes to everything. I wonder if she actually wrote it down. Two days later we returned for our dog. We were very concerned to find out if she ate well. She usually doesn't eat well when we are not around and that's why we brought in the special food. To our surprise, they said she ate well. We also asked if she was taken out to the bathroom recently. She said about an hour ago. Our dog was crying from the moment she saw us, which was also unusual but we thought she really missed us. We left, thinking everything was fine. We took her outside and she peed immediately for a long time. She doesn't do this unless she hasn't been out for hours. I was already disappointed but I didn't say anything and left. Our dog kept crying in the car, which it's also strange. I gave her a treat and she devoured it. And wanted more. I told my husband, our dog seems very hungry which it's very unusual since it was about 3 in the afternoon and she doesn't eat dinner until after 6. We stopped to feed her. The first thing we found was the bag of the special foods that was not even open. We served it immediately and our dog was really starving. They didn't even opened it! We found the can food that was open and they used only a little bit. We were so upset. Our dog ate and stopped crying. The next day I called the pet boarding place and they dismissed me. They said it was an accident. I felt really bad to have left my dog in such bad care. I do not recommend this place at all.

Due to my unusual schedule, her upcoming puppy classes didn't work for me, so we scheduled private sessions. This will allow me to book sessions based on developmental needs of our puppy, and address any behaviors that may develop.

It's clear that India understands and loves dogs (my puppy was mesmerized by her!). Can't wait for our next session!

We had spent so much time together during that time I guess she became hyper vigilant with me. She would become aggressive with any dog that came within in 10 feet of me. Barking and pulling and standing very tall. It never happened when others walked her without me. I tried for two years to change her behavior, including two different trainers, with no real changes. 10 weeks ago Maisie and I went back to Kelly (she had trained Maisie before Covid and she had moved her facility to further away). Within 5 minutes she had it figured out and we started a very simple, but effective program. Within 2 weeks there was a major difference. Maisie was more relaxed, calmer and much less territorial. She travels back and forth to CA from NH every year and I need her to be calm in the airport and not look at other dogs. 6 weeks after we started with Kelly we had to fly back to CA. Maisie was amazing. She was perfect. At 10 weeks out, she saw a dog long before I did. She sat and looked right at me without any instruction from me. THANK YOU KELLY!!!!!!! Can't wait to get back to NH this spring and tune up her service dog training and do some agility! Thank you again!!

I can really tell she knows her stuff: there was no behavior for which she she didn't have at least one workable solution to offer. I really appreciate how she modifies the training for my dog and our lifestyle. Also, she is personable, relaxed, funny, and kind. In a field where people-social skills are sometimes eclipsed by animal-skills, it was refreshing to have a responsive, warm, and professional trainer in my home. I have a friend who has spent hundreds of dollars striking out with ineffective or intolerable trainers. Skip the search and go with Elsa! I was referred to her by the owner's of a dog that could barely leave the house until they began working with Elsa. Now we pass each other in the neighborhood, proud of our dogs' attentiveness and calm behavior. I have a completely changed dog! And Elsa Larsen at My Wonderful Dog to thank for it! Thanks Elsa! :)

Irresponsible and deceitful breeder. One star because I had to select one…read more We purchased our GSD puppy from Doreen in November of 2020. We were told that she would be "a great family dog." We inquired about he parents temperment and were told they would produce good family dogs. We decided not to bring her back to Doreen for training because we had heard mixed reviews from other owners who had used her. We instead went with a trainor with over 30 years experience. We did individual sessions as well as a 4 week long board and train, followed up by refresher sessions. Additinally we worked with our K9 officer who has many years experience working with and traing GSD. Our dog was more work than any other GSD we had ever raised but we continued to put in the time and effort. Keeping her challenged and exercised. Our trainer, the K9 officer and our vet had expressed concerns about our dog and the breeder, but felt if we kept putting in the work she would become more confident and secure. Unfortunately, just shy of 18 months, she started getting more skittish and anxious. She started growling and cowering, and bit 2 family members. When we sought the advice of our trainer, K9 office and vet, they all stated we need to either return her to the breeder or euthanize her. We reached out to Doreen and she stated she did not have any room and could not accept her so "just put her down.' We were shocked. We continiued to try to work with the dog and our suppprt system but finally came to the conclusion that she must be euthanized. We again reached out to Doreen and she exhibited no concern for our dog or family. She admitted that the father could be very difficult to deal with and "she doesn't push him" but she had no way to not that our dog's behavior was genetic. She made no offer to evaluate our dog's behavior and never questioned our training process. When we asked if this had happened before, or is dogs were ever returned to her she stated "2-3 dogs per year get returned". Unacceptable. Most breeders have not had 2-3 dogs returned to them in a lifetime. We then asked if she would return our fee and were told no and "fine just bring her back." From the beginning of this experience we never felt we would return her to Doreen as she created this problem. We have now euthanized our dog. We are saddened and shocked by this turn of events. An honestly sick about the fact that Doreen will continue to breed animals. Find another breeder!!!!!!!
