Lyndsey will listen to the issues that your dog may have and change them to make your dog be more confident. She is detailed oriented and will explain everything in great detail.

Beau is a 6-year-old husky. He is incredibly smart, incredibly stubborn but also more on the…read morenervous/cautious side. I jokingly compare him to a cat. He's has never been one to be overtly affectionate. It's Beau's world and my husband and I are just living in it. My husband and I discussed many different routes and decided that with Beau's age, breed, and our schedules it would be best if we sent him to someone who would be able to give him the focus and attention, he needed to kick start in his training. Recall was really our number one goal for him. Spending 45 minutes on any given day to try and coax him back into the house, as you can imagine, gets old quick. If he doesn't wanna, he's not gonna. Enter Lynsey. Her love for dogs is obvious, just like her skills in training. Since Day 1, well before his stay, she was there providing guidance on how we could be better leaders/parents for our Fur Baby and this new lifestyle. Fun Fact: you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! It's been a week since we got our sweet boy back and we couldn't be happier! Beau is thriving with the new structure and overall seems to be a happier dog. He even seeks out love and cuddles from us now! We know that Beaus training isn't over. This is something that we will have to work on with him to make sure he's held accountable for his actions but it's nice to know that Lynsey will be there to help us/him along when/if we need her. Thank you will never be enough for the confidence she helped Beau gain not to mention the confidence she gave US to continue his training. Lynsey, thank you for taking in our boy and loving him through all his sassiness. We are forever grateful for your work with him and us. 10/10 would recommend Sunshine K9 Training!

We did not have a good experience boarding our dog at Puppy Paradise. First, it was very difficult…read moreto get in touch with them by phone to even book his stay. That should have been a red flag. Before dropping him off, our vet prescribed medication for a skin infection and we provided clear instructions for them to administer it. Unfortunately, they failed to do so. When we took our dog back to the vet after his stay, she confirmed that he had not received the medication, which meant he suffered unnecessarily while in their care. They also told us we'd be able to see pictures of him playing on their Facebook page during his stay. However, we only saw one photo of him, while other dogs were posted frequently. When we picked him up, we were shocked to find the bill was $185 more than we were told to expect. One of the extra charges was for a bath, which we had explicitly declined at check-in. Overall, we cannot recommend Puppy Paradise based on our experience. For the health and comfort of your pet--and your own peace of mind--we suggest looking elsewhere.

While on vacation we brought along our little ShihPoo Dex to Puppy Paradise. We picked Puppy…read moreParadise because of prior comments. We made a GREAT decision. Dex can become anxious & have separation issues. We were greeted by smiles & reassurance. We were allowed to spend time with him during the day taking him on walks. On his return, he was greeted by staff & he was happy to return. I would add that they have an excellent groomer as well. Having a veterinarian next door was reassuring as well. I would highly recommend Puppy Paradise in Saint Simons & no hesitation to drop Dex off on our next visit to the island.

She is truly a dog "whisperer" with the ability to teach any owner how to communicate with their "best friend" and to have a wonderful relationship with their pet.

What I also appreciate is Tracie does a great job of listening to what you want to accomplish with your dog and helping you get in the right classes - without trying to oversell anything.
