We thought all was well, the owner John Quinn assured us the dog would be removed permanently, but that wasn't true. My girl experienced trauma from the attack and I didn't want a reoccurrence so we had to withdraw her from attending. We just recently tried to take her to another facility, but unbeknownst to us she was removed from the system. Now the process has to start from scratch because the facility manager at Plainfield will not communicate with another facility to validate my girl. I don't want to speak ill of the situation, but my rating speaks for itself. My girl deserved better!

She even recommended having a neighbor come over during our sessions so she can fully experience the issues we were having and still be able to help virtually. Since our trainings with Michele, Smokey's barking has calmed and we now know the tips and tricks needed to help Smokey with his barking and anxiety. Highly recommend!

We reached out to Kendra at Canine Peace of Mind after recognizing we had training gaps with our…read moretwo Irish Terriers (1yr & 2yr olds) that we didn't feel we could overcome on our own. We were dealing with food & high value treat /toy aggression, leash & barrier aggressions, and their coming on call (especially when chasing rabbits were more fun situations than coming to mom & dad) was unreliable at best. Enter Kendra at Canine Peace of Mind. Kendra worked with us on the best board & train program for each of them, customizing their 'stay' schedules based on progress and behavioral shifts. We sent both our dogs to CPM from Sept 2018 - Oct 2018. Kendra knows how tough it is to leave your 'kids' for that extended period of time (because she's done it too!) and made sure to send us picture and video updates on how each of them were progressing. Seeing the quick process made the distance so worth it. Fast forward to picking our pups up on handover day and the difference was remarkable. But it was on us to take those skills & discipline home with us. A couple months into having them home (Jan of this year), we recognized we still needed help (user error!) and Kendra did a house call, free of charge, to help us in reigning in & tightening up their training & our/their behaviors. What an immense help as we saw immediate change and are continuing to build that owner/dog trust together. Here's the from / to for our pups and our family: - From never being able to walk in public on a leash for fear of lashing out against another dog (even when across the street) to walking twice a day at heeling position for 2-3 miles a day, despite what we encounter. - From not having reliable recalls in the least, to trusting our dogs (and because we have grown into much more confident dog owners, trusting ourselves) to have them off leash. We love to go get the mail, take out the trash, etc. together with our dogs. - From breakfast & dinner times being HORRIBLE experiences due to fighting, low growling, & crate checking to having peaceful feeding times. - From having no control during high energy times to having a tool & command for them to go to a dedicated 'place' in any room to calm down and give each other (and us) space. I could go on. But what I would say is if you are encountering any of the above issues, please consider Canine Peace of Mind and their board & train programs. As working professionals that knew we didn't have the time or expertise to dedicate in order to get our pups where they needed to be, we are so happy we did. It has transformed the time we get to all spend together from dread to time that we look forward to because it's happy & enjoyable (which is why we all got these guys in the first place, am I right?). They also offer day care & boarding. We have taken them up on boarding a few times as we know that they get a bit more attention than any standard boarding and they are held accountable to their training just as much there as they are at home.

Our dog has been boarded there several times and this last time they went above and beyond my expectations.

The ENTIRE staff are so great and all deserve a top notch recommendation. The owner Jan, went above and beyond to make our girls stay a happy one. I would HIGHLY recommend this place for daycare/boarding/training, they are the best you will find. Great job K9 Tailshakers, you outdid yourselves.

My dog has loved all four, and so have I! I've noticed such a difference in my dog. When we first started classes at the end of summer last year, or even just a couple months ago, I never thought she would/ could do some of the things she does now. Classes have helped tremendously with her confidence and have taught me so much about how to handle situations that can be scary for her. I truly can't recommend discover pet training highly enough. If you have a pup that needs manners, or the world's best behaved dog they will love and benefit from these classes!

When I called Lakewood, the receptionist was very kind and although the clinic was extremely busy after the New Year's holiday weekend, didn't shrug us off but instead agreed to let us come in. Dr Miller was wonderful and provided the best treatment we could ever ask for. He took the time to talk to us in great detail about our pet and even recorded a video to help us administer at-home treatment. Dr Miller and staff also checked in with us per text message the next day. It is very apparent that they truly care about their patients. I would definitely recommend this veterinarian to any of my family and friends and will be happy to return there for any future needs.

Waste of $2,000. After a few sessions it was apparent that this service was not going to be…read morehelpful. The training sessions were very generic and we did not feel like any progress was being made with our dog. We did not reach out for further sessions after the first few but circled back after a few months hoping for a different experience. After booking an appointment we were notified that the only trainer for this company in our area was leaving the business. Now we have spent $2,000 for a lifetime trainer that we can no longer use. We have reached out to corporate for assistance but no one will respond to us. Overall I would not recommend this company unless you are looking for basic training. I do not think all behavioralist trainers are created equal and this company is not providing a true behaviorist trainer. Certifications don't necessarily translate to quality. Couple that with poor customer service and you have what appears to be a money grab from customers that are genuinely looking for help in a time of need.

We thought he was just going to be one of those dogs that never learns, but Vicky has changed that forever. If your looking for a great trainer, someone with patience, someone who loves their job, and just an overall great person you have to hire Vicky! We love Mac even more now than we did before because of the good boy he turned out to be and we owe it all to her.
