I've used Pepedogs before (with very limited and unfortunately short term success), but I just got my 6 month old Golden Retriever back from Robin's Lifestyle Board & Train, and I can't gush enough about how effective Robin's methods have proven to be!! Within a short 10 day board and train she has somehow managed to wrangle my crazy energetic puppy into a puppy with manners and a thorough understanding of verbal and physical cues to maintain good behavior. Even better, she has provided a significant amount of training videos for myself and my roommates to study, as truly the humans need more training than the dogs!! She's very responsive to any questions I have and explains things very well, in ways a relatively new puppy owner can understand and replicate. I am so pleased with my puppy's progress in walking without pulling on the leash, listening to commands, not jumping up on me or my roommates (which was our biggest issue prior to training) and just overall how much more settled and confident he has become. Robin has been a delight to work with and I highly, highly recommend her training. I look forward to sending my puppy back to her in the future for more specific training, or even just utilizing her boarding services, because my puppy absolutely adores her and he had a great time with her. 10/10 I highly recommend Robin, 5 Stars, 100%, she has worked a miracle on my baby boy. read more
