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!

When my boyfriend and I got our first puppy (an Australian Shepherd, no less) we knew that we had…read moreto get training. Not just for our puppy, but also for ourselves, so that we understood how best to communicate with the puppy. Michele at Dog Gone Good Dog Training was the absolute BEST decision we could have made to make sure that Izzy (our dog) is a well behaved and functioning member of society. We were unsure about Zoom training classes, but they turned out to work wonderfully! Michele is great at providing instruction verbally, and the Zoom setting means more one-on-one feedback with her than you would normally get in a group class. Michele was wonderful at pointing out areas where we (the people) could be doing better at setting Izzy up for success, which my boyfriend and I found helpful. Izzy is miles better behaved than she used be, and, more importantly, all the people in her life know how to communicate with her effectively to make sure that she's set up for success everywhere she goes. So much of our positive, happy home with Izzy is due to Michele's patience and hard work with us. If you're looking for a lovely, patient, competent, and positive dog trainer, you have found the right person, and should reach out to Michele at Dog Gone Good Training today!

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.

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.

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.

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.
