This shelter is one of the worst when it comes to honesty, communication, and compassion toward…read moreboth animals and owners. My situation involved my dog being seized after running at large and biting someone. I will fully admit that my dog was aggressive toward people he didn't know because of trauma from his previous home. As heartbreaking as it was, my family eventually made the difficult decision to euthanize him. What made this situation unbearable was the way the shelter handled it. After multiple phone calls with staff and supervisor Dani, we were clearly told that we could come Saturday to sign the papers, euthanize him, and pick him up afterward. Because he was deeply loved, we visited him several times beforehand. The day before our scheduled date, we came to see him again, discuss giving him a last meal, and sign any paperwork they needed. Instead, we were informed they had already euthanized him without notifying us -- after specifically telling us Saturday was the agreed date. Their excuse was "miscommunication." One explanation was that because my sister visited him Thursday, they assumed it was okay to proceed. Another excuse was that a supervisor approved it because he was considered "a danger." Yet when we directly asked if he was a danger to staff, we were told no, and that they "deal with stuff like this all the time." Even while visiting him, I personally watched staff interact with him physically, and he responded calmly and familiarly with them. The entire situation was handled with a complete lack of professionalism, compassion, and communication. It honestly feels like they knew they could get away with handling things this way because of the circumstances surrounding my dog. No matter the situation, owners deserve honesty, communication, and the chance to properly say goodbye to an animal they loved.

Just finished the 4 week Basic Obedience training with my Labradoodle, Ranger. He is 4 years old…read moreand very energetic. He gets excited around other dogs and loves to meet new people. I've always envied dog owners who could have their dogs in public places and around other dogs without struggling to hold them and not pulling them all over the place. After researching several dog training services, I settled on Off Leash K9 training. Both Nathan and Beth worked with Ranger, and he responded extremely well to their methods and the eCollar, but even more importantly is the time they took with me helping me to understand how to continue the training between lessons. It doesn't matter how well your dog does during your one hour lessons if you are not willing to put in the the time everyday to reinforce the lessons. I would highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training to anyone who wants an obedient dog who is a pleasure to have with you as a companion in any situation. We can now take Ranger to farmer's markets, dog-friendly restaurants, the beach, wherever dogs are welcome. We continue to work on his commands on our evening walks, take him to places that provide distractions so we can get even better at being in those situations, and keep reinforcing his obedience with tons of "Good boy" praises and lots of love. He's happy. We're happy, and so thankful for Nathan and Beth at Off Leash K9 training.

After reading all of the marvelous online reviews, I paid $3000 for the two week board and train…read moreprogram. It took two months to get my dog worked in with the trainer. At that point, I had pretty reliably taught her to sit, stay, and come. What I really needed was on & off leash heel, lie down, and for her to do all of the aforementioned with distractions. I've had my dog since she was 7 weeks old, she is pure-bred pedigreed Labrador Retriever, sweet tempered and quite bright. No behavioral issues! When I came to pick her up after two weeks, she had learned NO additional skills! She would not heel or lie down, and would not come to me when distracted. I return her to the trainer, and expressed my disappointment, that my $3000 was essentially spent on dog sitting. She took my dog back for an another full week at no additional charge. Afterwards she told me that she received NOTHING from her boss for doing this (the franchise owner) and took my dog back simply because she did not want me to be dissatisfied. She made some progress in that final week, but we still have a loooong way to go. I do not fault the trainer! She did her best and took my dog on for an additional week for free. The company is a franchise. She shared with me that the owner is in Greenville, he is not even a dog trainer (she described him as a businessman), and she has never met him. She also shared that she JUST QUIT! Her issue was that 2 weeks is not enough time to train a dog to do all of this things that they advertise. Customers were regularly upset when their expectations weren't met. It takes at least 4-5 weeks to accomplish good on-leash results, let alone off leash. I feel like "Off-Leash" over promised knowing that they would likely underperform. The franchisee relies on internet marketing, and a slick phone call/email/text sales pitch. Perhaps the other training service are good, because the trainer that I met seemed excellent - but with the 2 week board and train, the trainers are set up to fail. I wouldn't call it a "scam" but from my experience, and that of others I have talked with since then, you are VERY unlikely to be satisfied. There are other operations right here in Lexington that will do board and train for 4-5 weeks, charge about the same, and not make any "off leash promises". That seems much more realistic and honest. Buyer beware!!!

I have a reactive pit mix, Mila, who also has some separation anxiety, so I get really nervous…read moreabout how she'll handle being around people when I'm not there to try to keep her chilled out. The first time I brought Mila to Stacy & crew, I was worried she'd raise hell and it would be our last time. Man, was I wrong. They are so good with her, she squeals whenever we pull up to the shop. This girl--who hates getting wet and dryer sounds and who gets stressed around new people--acts like we arrived at the dog park when we roll up to Elgin Grooming & Boarding. She loves them, and she looks and smells fantastic when I get her back. A note on scheduling to wrap this up: I can usually get an appointment within a week, maybe 2 weeks if it's busy, excluding major holidays. But I recognize that fitting my short-haired pit mix into the schedule for a bath & groom is probably easier than a different breed of dog that requires more grooming time. Alright, lemme go make an appointment before I forget.
