I can now walk him in my neighborhood without much pulling. He has learned to wait at the door until I am ready for him to go out or in. He still jumps up when greeting but is better and we continue to work on it. Glen was also flexible and accommodating of my schedule.

We had an in-home consultation with Glen with our dog Linda, which went well. Glen was informative…read moreand Linda responded well to him. However, as we explained her reactivity issues to dogs and some people, Glen seemed reluctant to schedule further training sessions with Linda, telling us "I recommend taking some time to review the article I sent you, and begin implementing them, specifically only greeting if Linda initiates the greeting. " Since he seemed reluctant to schedule further training, we are seeking another trainer. One trainer I spoke to questioned whether Glen doubted he had the expertise to deal with our dog's reactivity issues?

I would leave a zero if I could. we used the boarding facility with dog training. We told her a dog…read morehad anxiety and what we really wanted was training everyday. My dog was taken into the boarding area which is nice enough with heated floors. As our dog was walking through the door her little dogs came charging at him (behind fencing) and Started our dog. Then our dog was put into a kennel surrounded by 3 other kennels and my dog freaked out. So we told her this wasn't going to work and she moved him to the other side of the room which was better for him. I wasn't so sure if this was a good place for him and told her if there was any problems to call us ASAP. We called her later to check in and she said he was fine. When we returned after 7 days we found out he had been stressed all week, had diarrhea and she didn't want him back. I asked her if had had any training or any exercise outside and she said NO. I also asked her why she didn't call us because I don't want my dog going through this - she said oh I didn't think you had anyway to take him!!!! when she knew our other dog was home and we wanted Marley to come stay and get training!!! So our dog was locked up for a week - stressed out . I told her I just want my dog now - when I went in the back he was back into the kennel that was in the middle of all the other dogs - the one that he was moved out of before. I'm guessing she didn't want to walk across the room to feed him. My dog is so messed up right now due to this abuse!!!! Btw the 2 times I was there while all the dogs were stressed (due to her little dogs) she never once tried to console any of them!!! I can't imagine her being a good dog trainer seeing how she treated my dog, or the lack of empathy I saw for the other dogs there. I suppose if you just want your dogs locked in a kennel this is the place to go.

She was also quite a lifesaver after I had to book him with her last minute due to vacation plans that were not as pet friendly as promised. Great service!

Tina is so caring and down to earth and real about being a new business owner. She answered all our questions to curb my anxieties of being a new boarding parent, and is also a vet tech so what more could you ask for! Tina is trustworthy, along with her staff, and they all truly care about our pups. Our pups went 4 times before boarding and each time they went back, they became more comfortable and confident being there. The environment is clean, open, and each time our pups have gone we have seen new items and additions thatTina has added to her daycare. We feel so confident in having our pups there while we are away and would highly recommend her daycare/grooming/boarding in Keizer

My son adopted Ginger through Hope's Haven when they were in Dayton. He had her for a week and…read moresuddenly, she got really big so he took her to a vet and yes, Ginger was pregnant. Hope's Haven offered to take Ginger back but Michael was already very attached to her. Ginger had 10 puppies 10 days after he had adopted her. Hope's Haven offered to take Ginger and the puppies back but Michael with my help for a couple of weeks, kept them for 2 months then took them to to Petco or Pet-smart, can't remember which, and Hope's Haven placed them with people or families. They sell the puppies for $200.00 each and Michael very generously let them keep the money because, of course, this money helps to cover their overhead. We kept two of the puppies, Pearl and Ruby. After a few months, my son changed jobs so his time with Ginger was going to be far less so I brought her to live with us on our five acres of natural forest of fir, maple and oak trees We already had Angus, our big lab/mastiff mix. I had already spent a lot of time with Ginger so she was very, very happy living with us and she fell in love with Angus. That was eleven years ago but sadly, our beautiful Angus died of bone cancer almost three years ago. Anyway, Hope's Haven is a great place to adopt or give very young puppies to for placement.

I know I wrote a review here at the beginning of the year and not sure where it went so I'm…read morerewriting it!! I brought my dogs here at Christmas time last year so I could visit grandchildren and it was an out-of-the-way last minute thing since the normal place I go was completely booked up and just could not even budge one dog. So I came here and my experience was very good. My dogs all boarded together and I paid for the playtime once a day and everything went really well. I was really happy that they told me when I left that the dogs were really good dogs and easy to take care of that made me feel really, really good. I have gone back to my usual place, but I am definitely considering coming back here again because they offered the dogs some playtime and where I go does not. Again, the experience was good. The hotel was clean and well maintained, and the dogs seemed very happy when they came home. All in all good.
