The prices were great and she does things by the book. I left special treats, food, toys and bedding with them. They were able to stay together throughout their stay which was why I picked this location. When I picked up my dogs after vacation my older dog was super dramatic and screamed at me and the whole way home. I was very worried about his reaction at first but my other dog was completely fine. (Cannoli is also a drama queen so if something was wrong she would have been upset too) Both babies are rescues and were kenneled together while I was on vacation here. Rudy was rescued from a shelter and cannolis mom was a rescue from birth so she never saw the inside of a kennel. Rudy was already 6 years old when he joined our family and he lived in a shelter twice in his life before I adopt him (abandoned by two families...) When I dropped him off he was fine and went right to the back wagging his tail I also called before and after the cruise left Miami to check on them and they told me he was barking a lot after the first night and very mopey. He was not eating and a young girl spent some time with him and he started eating again. I should have considered his history beforehand and they did a great job keeping him calm it's honestly my fault he did not adjust as well but they accommodated which gave me a piece of mind to know they were being well taken care of. Cannoli was so happy to see me she immediately got the zoomies so we went for a walk. Rudy was very upset and let me have it. He was barking like he was yelling at me. Both of them were groomed, they looked and smelled great. Rudy on the other hand must have thought he was abandoned again at a kennel and did not adjust very well. (His bed needed to be thrown away because he destroyed it out of frustration) The way he barked on the way home I could feel his pain ughhhh Once he was home he gave me some side stink eye but after some cuddles he warmed up and all was good. (He was traumatized by being an old rescue already and I should have seen it coming) I never kenneled him again after that but thanks to her policy he was able to be with his best friend while staying there which helped tremendously! I Will be using them again this year for cannoli and my kitten for 10 days this December. I will be posting an updated review with kittens experience ‍ I highly recommend this place if you need someone to watch your pets. This place has the best prices in the area, your babies will be safe, loved, cared for, and most importantly they will be together! RIP Rudy my angel got his wings at 15 years old. Here are pictures of my fur babies

I had a devastating experience at this place. I boarded my 2 cats, Loki and Soleil from October…read more6-17, 2023. I was out of the country and this was the only place that took cats. The day I came back, I was excited to see my babies. My husband received a call from Linda Carrier who said, "I lost your cat, Soleil! Can you come find her? She got out of the building and is on the roof". My heart dropped. I dropped everything I was doing and rushed there with my husband. Our cat was GONE. Linda was not even in the facility 5 minutes before we got there. She was at staples, she said. No employees were looking. We were 45 minutes away. When we finally came face to face with Linda, I asked, What is your policy? What do we do? Who can we call to help? Where is your team? She said she has nothing in place for this situation because she never had to deal with it. She simply said, 'I can't even walk! You should just be patient and come back in about 6 days and call for her...' There are no cameras in the facility according to her. She said she never had a cat that was so smart.... Well, if you leave a door to the outside open and are trying to transfer a terrified cat from a cage to a carrier, I would bolt too! I asked her to get a professional to help. She said NO. I asked if I could look inside the facility in case she was hiding somewhere. She said NO. This woman was Cold and couldn't care less. At first, she seemed emotionally affected but that quickly turned into anger and non action. I posted on social media asking for help. I made fliers. I went door to door and begged neighbors to help. The best news is after 2 weeks, I got her back! That is a blessing. This woman Linda, never apologized, never took accountability for her negligence or our suffering. We suffered every second Soleil was gone. Soleil suffered out in the wilderness for 2 weeks. She also had to suffer an emergency vet visit which we paid for. Our hearts hurt because when you board your family member, you expect to get them back. And, if something terrible happens, you would expect some help or accountability. I am writing this because I would never want another human or animal to suffer the same fate or worse. So, if you must board your loved one, at least you can be empowered with this information. I will NEVER make this mistake again.

I recently started training sessions for my 4 year old rescue dog Blue. She is a highly eneregetic,…read morepeople friendly dog; a pit bull hound mix. The biggest challenges were that she does not get along with other dogs and needed to be socialized and trained on basic commands. Several of my neighbors recommended Hope Lock and I am so happy that we are in training there. We first completed private lessons with Wayne. Within a matter of minutes, he helped transform Blue's behavior, and my ability to handle her more effectively. Not only did he help socialize her with other dogs, he taught us some basic commands and obedience, while being very supportive and complimentary of our progress. We then started Basic Training wth Missy a few weeks ago, along with 11 other dogs and handlers. I am so pleased with how well Blue is doing, and so thankful we had the private lessons first. Missy is also a fantastic trainer, I was amazed at how quickly she got the group in order, 12 dogs of all shapes and sizes, and not all well behaved yet. She is patient but firm and has great results. I am so thankful for Wayne and Missy and her Team and the wonderful support at Hope Lock. These sessions helped further my bond with Blue, and have taught me so much about how to handle various situations. I am looking forward to continuing our training through intermediate and advanced levels. I highly recommend Hope Lock!! They really care about their clients and dogs and make such a meaningful difference in our lives with our pets!

I am getting ready to register for the intermediate obedience course and wanted to take a moment to…read morewrite a review about my experience with the basic training class. We rescued our Catahoula Girl, Charlie, 2 years ago. She is very sweet natured but she was becoming more and more reactive to people and dogs. She weighs 76 pounds and is very strong. I had to get a handle on this powerhouse or one of us was going to get seriously hurt! She was starting to lunge at rabbits, men in hats, certain dogs, delivery trucks and something had to be done to protect both our safety! We had done a treat/reward based program and it only worked during class. Out in my neighborhood, where the rubber meets the road (literally), Charlie was completely uninterested and unmotivated by treats. She was much more motivated by her nose and her instincts! I was working hard but she was becoming more and more unmanageable. The first night of class, my instructor asked me if I wanted to try a pronged collar. This sounded so harsh and maybe even dangerous, so I said that I would see how it goes. Well, after 15 minutes of struggling with Charlie's willful behavior, I was willing to give that bad boy a try! All I can say is GAME CHANGER! They fitted my hooligan for a pronged collar and taught me how to use it correctly, so that it imitates the correction a pup feels from its mother. She grabs her youngster with her teeth and applies pressure to the neck and then releases her grip. Suddenly, Charlie was paying attention to me and she has been improving her focus and self-control, ever since. We are still working on socialization, but the experience has been an extremely positive one for us. I will give you one caveat about the instructors at Hope Lock. You'd better be prepared to put in the work and that includes weekly homework. These classes are not for slackers!!!
