I recently adopted a 9-month old dog and wanted to jump into training right away. I retained…read moresomeone who lived very close to me and had great reviews, but after a few sessions I realized our schedules were not compatible; I was not getting consistency and reliability from her. It's important for me to make progress with my dog, so I Googled alternate options and stumbled upon Alex's page. I called him on a Friday and he picked up the phone right away. We spoke for a while about my needs and he came out the following Tuesday for what was supposed to be a 2-hour visit. I fell in love with him immediately, he is not only so personable and likable on his own, but he really takes the time to LISTEN to what you need and work on those things right away. I had mentioned my priorities to my previous trainer, but I found that she was teaching my dog commands that didn't actually accomplish what I was after. In our first meeting, Alex worked on SO MANY of my priorities. He got my dog to go into her crate on command, taught her to "stay," showed me how to "walk with" my dog better on her leash, and (using a 30' leash outdoors) started working on recall with her. We were so immersed in what was going on that Alex started to go a little bit over our time, but he didn't want to stop because we were making such great progress. I told him if he wanted to give me a third hour right then and there that I was prepared to pay for it, and he did!! I learned a lot of things from Alex myself during our first meeting, like how to employ the use of "deltas" (which my old trainer never once mentioned) and how non-verbal cues are arguably more important than verbal ones. Again, my old trainer actually discouraged me from using hand motions, but once incorporating them into my routine I noticed that my dog was much more compliant than she had been. Another positive difference between my old trainer and Alex is he really takes the time to teach you why he's doing what he's doing, and encourages you to participate. My old trainer just taught my dog a command and had me replicate/practice when she left. Alex really makes you feel like you are a part of the teaching process. After our private session Alex recommended some "Small Group Therapy" for my pup. He came at noon on a Thursday to pick up my dog and she proceeded to go on a several-hour outing with his two chihuahuas and a dog he was fostering. The entire time he was out with her he was recording and sharing videos on an iCloud album. It was INCREDIBLE to not only see everything that was happening, but to hear him narrate why he was doing the things he was doing. I could not get enough of his videos and felt like I was there during the session. On top of Alex's excellent communication, punctuality, reliability, friendliness, competency, and effectiveness, his rates are OUTRAGEOUS in the BEST way! I truly believe he is under-charging for his services. I can get three hours with Alex for less than I paid for one hour with my prior trainer, and I feel much better about the work that is done during that timeframe. I adore Alex, and most importantly, what he is doing works. He really gets into the mind of your dog, and has such a wonderful way of connecting with them and their needs. I am elated to keep our work going - my pup has lots more Small Group Therapy outings in her future and it's wonderful that I have the option to use him one-on-one to teach her even more commands in the house. One day I hope to move on from essential commands to more fun ones, like "roll over" or "go get X toy."

The last place I took him to before finding Playtime, Apollo would come home smelling like urine and his white fluffy coat would be yellow. The point of sending your dog to daycare is to make your life easier. I had to bathe him every time he left the other facility. At Playtime, Apollo can stay for a week of boarding and comes back to me smelling fine. My dog gets very scared in unfamiliar places but when he's at Playtime, he feels very comfortable. So much so, he acts like he's the mayor of the smalls. Thank you everyone at Playtime for taking such good care of my fur baby and for making my life easier. I appreciate all of you so much.

I asked to make sure he got a good once over, especially with his teeth, a nail clip and a blood draw. Instead, i got a report from my gf that they couldn't even get close to my cat because he was so "misbehaved" and sent him home with 100 mg Gabapentin, without even administering it, and told us to schedule a new appt later, but not until he takes those pills. They didn't weigh him, look in his mouth, clip his nails, draw blood or anything. But they Had no problem sending me a $250 vet bill for doing literally nothing of the things i asked! Gave him 2 shots and a clean bill of health tho! Fast-forward to literally a month later, where I'm now spending $7000 at an emergency vet on a PU surgery on my blocked cat. If this vet wasn't so "afraid" of my cat he could have gotten a blood draw, like i asked, in order to check any of his levels and cell counts. Maybe i could have got him on a Urinary Care diet months ago and avoided all of this if the vet even bothered to do their job. I'm actually writing this review as I await the Emergency Vet parking lot. My cat can be nasty, I'll give you that. He was an abused street cat and doesn't like strangers. But no vet I've ever been to with him has ever complained about his behavior, refused care or even sent me home with the absolute max amount of sedative you can give a cat. My last update from the emergency vet currently working on my boy was positive! She told me he was feisty at first, but overall is a sweet guy once he feels comfortable in the environment. Funny how that works. I'm sure this vet is Great if you've got a dog who loves everyone or an old cat who is pretty laid back, but If your animal has any anxiety issues, i'd stay 100 miles away from this vet.

I've waited three days before writing this, expecting that someone from ownership or management…read morewould reach out personally to express concern, apologize for the situation, or acknowledge the significant disruption and expense this caused our family. As we were preparing to leave for a trip to Italy this past Saturday, we received a call from the kennel caring for our dogs informing us that one of our dogs, Alfie, had escaped. What was most surprising was that the purpose of the call seemed to be asking whether Alfie had ever done something like this before. He hadn't. More importantly, one would reasonably expect a kennel to have secure fencing and proper access controls in place to prevent this type of situation from happening in the first place. Anyone who knows Alfie knows he's an incredibly sweet and adorable dog -- but he's certainly not some canine mastermind. He's no Steve McQueen in The Great Escape. The fact that he was able to get out raises serious concerns about the facility's security and procedures. It is now Monday evening, more than 48 hours later, and we still have not received a single call from the owner or management. I don't believe a single incident automatically means a business should be condemned. Mistakes can happen anywhere. But when a business fails to take ownership of a serious event after it occurs, that says a great deal about how they value accountability and customer trust. I sincerely hope no other family has to experience something similar.
