Like some of the other reviews I cannot recommend this breeder. Whilst our puppy is great, we paid…read morefor and were promised an AKC registered puppy. At handover we were given a blank AKC puppy pack. Despite many emails and texts where we were promised we would get what was needed, we've never received the information to register her. In addition, we also had to spend money at the vets to treat worms - something I would expect a reputable breeder to be on top of prior to handover.

$8000 is a lot to spend on a puppy! Breeder wanted us to send a check for $2500 *immediately* to…read morepurchase a puppy. We picked up the puppy at his dog daycare center a couple weeks later. We took our puppy home, only to awaken to a deathly ill puppy sick with parvo the following morning. Our puppy spent the next 5 days in intensive care, costing us over $5000. Not only did the puppy have parvo ,but also hookworms and giardia, both of which are contagious to humans and other pets. The hookworms and giardia weren't disclosed to us by the breeder or the veterinarIan's health records. We found out about the intestinal parasites from one of the dog daycare employees. The breeder's veterinarian even signed a health certificate stating the puppy was free from parasites and disease! Our puppy is still being treated for intestinal parasites even after several months, which is adding more unexpected expense.. The breeder repeatedly promised to reimburse our medical expenses but has now completely ghosted us. Buyer beware. This breeder is pumping out puppies on a continuous basis and housing these unvaccinated puppies at his dog daycare. This breeder is eager to take your money but doesn't stand by his claims. Terrible experience overall.

Kasey Nash, Joyful Paws Review I'm writing this review…read morefor Kasey Nash, Joyful Paws, because she is a superb trainer and I'm very grateful that she trained our dog Daisy to become a service dog. Daisy is a mini labradoodle and was 2 1/2 when she began training with Kasey. Previously she had had two intermediate classes at the K-9 Connecticut Education Center. To summarize, in our first session Kasey explained in detail what would be involved, and stressed the importance of my involvement. Daisy had 20 lessons spread out over 6 months. Lessons took place in Kasey's very well equipped basement, Home Goods, Target, Petco, and Cabela Sports. Kasey sent detailed notes after each lesson on what and how to practice, and how to take commands to new levels. Daisy bonded with Kasey the first day, and became very excited at even the mention of "Kasey". After a 5 week evaluation period she received her "Service Puppy in Training Vest" (a proud day). Approximately five months later, Daisy did a fantastic job on her service dog test which lasted more than two hours. Daisy's primary task was location assistance and guidance. She learned to guide me through a department store such as Home Goods, stop at curbs outside, and more. To name just a few commands: Left, right, forward, outside, button, here, wait. Kasey's method was to explain a new command, demonstrate it with Daisy, then teach me to perform the task with Daisy. Lots of treats were used! Before the next lesson, Daisy and I practiced the new commands extensively, at least three times a week along with previous commands. To give you a few examples of Kasey's teaching, we spent an hour or so getting on and off the glass elevator at Cabela Sports. Daisy learned elevator etiquette and got over fear of accelerations and abrupt stops. The techniques I learned from Kasey allowed me to build on many commands during our practice between lessons. To name a few, elevator techniques were used to teach escalators. "Outside" was extended to "Back" and "Find the trail" while hiking. For fun, during one lesson, Kasey taught Daisy to push a "door open" assistance button. This took less than half an hour to my amazement. A year later Daisy still remembers this "button" command. Kasey organized a number of field trips with her other dogs in training: Mystic Aquarium and a Scavenger Hunt to name two. Kasey wrote an "Attestation Letter" about Daisy's training which was instrumental in getting service dog approval for Aer Lingus and later for EuroStar (train to UK). I highly recommend Kasey Nash to anyone considering Service Dog training.

I immediately recognized she has skills way beyond mine and has so much knowledge of dog training and working service dogs. Far beyond most trainers. She helped my current service dog brush up on some skills and fix a couple issues we were having. She helped me create a near perfect service dog. I am so impressed with her that I asked her to produce and begin training my next service dog for me when my current girl retires. Joyful Paws is AMAZING!
