I was in a bind, emergency out of town and had to board both of my dogs for 7 weeks and this was…read morethe "homiest" kennel I found in the area. One dog was very old and sick when I brought him in, and they took amazing care of him. When it became apparent he wasn't going to make it (and I knew that was a distinct possibility when I brought him in) they rushed him to the vet, and on his last day, visited him there out of sheer good will and concern, to say goodbye to him. They gave his "sister" extra love and support and walks because she was so distraught and needed extra attention. They went above and beyond the call of duty, walk the dogs so much, and are so full of compassion for the animals, it is clearly not "just a job" for them! The animals are well exercised and their rates are incredibly reasonable. It was distressing to leave my animals anywhere for so long (really, I am not a bad dog mammy!) sometimes life just throws you a curveball and I am grateful to them for helping me through the difficult times. Won't go anywhere else!

However, what they lost over time with their huge growth and building expansion was a personal touch, full transparency (my husband was very surprised to find he could accompany our dog to get his blood drawn when typically at other practices they take your dog away to some mysterious place you can't see) and a fantastic team of assistants and front desk staff. Every time I call, I am greeted with such personable, knowledge folks who can often answer my questions right on the spot with sound gudance and advice. And Dr. Bob is a gem. He gives you information that is understandable, usable and direct. Just what I want in my vet. My dogs are both well cared for by Aeolus Animal Hospital and Equine Center. It's a bit of a drive for us to go there but they are worth it. Thanks for the great care!

We live in Brooklyn and got our first dog this summer. #pandemicpuppy From the start we realized we…read moreneeded a lot of training and we went through a thorough research and interview process to determine we wanted a board and train program. During this process we conducted consultations with several trainers throughout NYC and when we finally connected with Anna we were impressed with her extensive knowledge of dog training that was far beyond what we had encountered with other trainers. Anna has a three pronged approach of positive, corrective, and relaxation techniques which is a much more holistic approach than we encountered when we interviewed other trainers. Anna's focus on relaxation is different than any trainer we interviewed or worked with which teaches dogs how to exist in a calm state, which becomes homeostasis. This is what we wanted most with our dog so that we can all peacefully coexist together. Anna's home and dog training quarters are in a beautiful setting with a gorgeous view of Mt Ascutney. There is a lot of open outdoor area for the dogs to learn off-leash skills and to have exciting distractions such as goats and other dogs. Having a calm, natural setting is a benefit which is allowing our dog to master foundational skills without other distractions. However, because Anna knows that we will be brining our dog back to the city, she has taken our pup to busier areas to work on training with other distractions. After 10 days we met up with Anna and our dog to get some training transferred to us and it was like meeting a different dog. Our dog has already learned great leash skills and is able to be around other dogs and people without becoming overly aroused. She is immediately responsive to all major commands. Anna is also working on house training issues and helping our pup to learn to go outside. Initially our dog wasn't able to go outside because she was becoming too distracted when we were in the city. When we dropped our pup off she was newly recovering from being fixed and Anna's background as a nurse made us feel more at ease knowing that she would be attentive to her healing. Anna's depth of knowledge and clear instructions with us has already helped us learn so much about how to engage with our dog. We are so happy we found her services! I'm surprised that there aren't more 5 star reviews here that sing her praises. Thank you, Anna!

Armando Morales is an exceptional person and compassionate, knowledgeable dog trainer. I have…read morekept in touch with him since moving from NY to FL over two years ago and have visited him when in Saratoga. I am "mom" to Obie (Olaf, the Cemetery Dog), who spent the winter of 2014-15 trying to survive in St. John's Cemetery in Troy. (Google: VIMEO Meet Olaf from Out of the Pits) Armando's last email included the following: "Some dogs are lifelong projects and the work is a process, not a quick-fix solution". Along with specific training tools/techniques, this type of thinking allowed me to work with Obie to become the best he could be, not the best I wanted him to be. Obie is who he is and I have acknowledged that in certain areas, he cannot "give" anymore. He is very dog-reactive (having been attacked four times-once in a vet's office); he will never have play-dates. He is afraid of the wind and loud noises. He hates birds (they ate his food in the cemetery). Overall, Obie is always attuned to his surroundings, as if waiting for the next shoe to drop. Armando helped me to accept these challenges and we worked on recognizing triggers during walks, long-leash training (Obie initially wouldn't go more than a few feet away from my side), helping him to gain confidence in different settings, how to avoid stress by eliminating things in our home. I know I can text/email Armando anytime and get a response. I cannot recommend his methods or advice more highly, or his value to me as friend.

Ruby is our fourth rescue and the animal love of our lives. Part Red Boned Coon Hound part Mastiff…read moreshe is a big girl with a bigger personality. By 2 years old Ruby had gotten her canine good citizen certificate and participated in various training/socialization programs. She is obedient, loving with all humans, especially kids and enjoys most dogs. Every so often certain dogs seem to flip her switch. On those occasions this big girl looks aggressive. Never has she hurt or touched another dog, but the barking and snarling concerned us enough to seek out a behaviorist. We found Sarah Todd through an internet search and respected her bio of credentials and experience. Speaking with Sarah on the phone prior to engaging her only confirmed that we had found a consummate professional. Sarah drove over an hour to consult with us. She allowed us to demonstrate Ruby's behavior in the environment and situations we encounter daily. Sarah spent our consultation time really listening to our concerns, giving us some important foundational information that we needed for a basic understanding of reactive behavior and excellent suggestions for activities, reinforcement and responses to modify Ruby's behavior. The harness she recommended has been a game changer for enjoying walks with Rubes. Sarah followed up the consultation with a written account of what was discussed. The suggestions weren't a magic bullet because they required consistency, but the effort is so worth the result. Basic training is a pet owner's responsibility to their pet and to themselves. But when you are faced with an issue that truly impacts the ability for your dog to be socially integrated, I can't emphasize enough the value of engaging someone like Sarah who has the experience, training, and ability to convey the information in a way that makes sense and is able to be applied practically in a way that allows you to live your life with your dog, not around them. Sarah is worth every penny...and then some.
