In those weeks, we started working with our dog at home intensely - when we started seeing progress, we tried to cancel the classes since they hadn't done any for us yet. They will not refund our money after providing no services for us!!! NO WHERE does it say "no refunds" or anything along those lines. They've given us the run around for weeks now, saying they'll pass it on to the CEO as they're the only one who can process refunds - we've heard nothing. Again, no service provided and kept our money (and $750 is not a small amount!).

This business isn't just about pet training, but I could only select one topic from the drop down…read moremenu. This business - rather this man does obedience training, boarding, and a variety of other training issues, as well as installing underground fencing. If you've heard of stories about underground fencing - most likely it's because the owner was not trained rather then the dog. It takes training for both owner and dog for an underground fence to really work well and Tom Beitz knows how to make it happen. His logo statement is creative as well, Where Sit Happens". Verbal and visual commands both work on our dog! Tom Beitz, even the name is fitting, is a professional dog trainer that we've used to train two GSD's with much success and both remain in our yard with an invisible fence. He also stands behind all the products and gives you the individual attention that dog owners need. With both individual training and group training - you and your dog deserve the best and I highly recommend giving Tom a call if you have any dog training needs. We've been dealing with Tom for over 5 years now and recently had to have him stop over to look at a broken collar. While he was there - he gave us some additional instructions for both dogs, replaced the collar and off he went. It doesn't get better then this!

Flipping through the book I found his web site cited for obedience and off leash training. When I looked up the site and found he was from Hamburg, NY I couldn't believe it! He came to our home once a week for basic obedience training for our puppy at about 3 months old. His techniques are amazing! Our dog took to them quickly. He helped us with pulling, jumping issues and helped us to sit stay, leash walk and place. He is experienced and truly cared about our dog. We are calling him again when she is 9 months old to start more advanced obedience and off leash work. I recommend Smart Dog Solutions for anyone who wants a "good dog." Truly we learned that there are no bad dogs, just untrained ones. Phoebe is well on her way to becoming a certified therapy dog!

The Family Companion actually holds classes at multiple locations across Western New York, and the class I took was at their location on Southwestern Blvd. Their classes are all generally 8 weeks in length and they offer puppy training classes, senior dog training, the family companion class, graduate companion as well as others like therapy and an agility fun course. My dog and I did the family companion class with Kim Sauer. There were a total of 9 dogs in the class so it wasn't overcrowded which was great for my dog, who has some anxiety issues among other dogs/strangers. The instructor was incredibly patient, knowledgable and friendly. If anyone had a question or issues with anything, she took the time to assist and explain things adequately. I can't wait to get into our next class here and would highly recommend this facility to those looking for a good place to train their dog. They're also very reasonably priced which is a definite bonus!
