Prior to them we went to Pet Smart in Orange park, tried various online training programs, and everything I could find on YouTube, but the the difference in technique and overall expertise is far superior to anything I've tried. Not only did they help address my puppies special needs, but they were always available to address my individual desires and opportunities for improvement. Both my dog and I grew from their tutelage and I'd never go anywhere else in this lifetime. If you're even considering another trainer I HIGHLY recommend giving Anne a shot first, and saving the stress and headache of anyone else in all of Jacksonville. Her curriculum is well rounded and at the same time, catered to the needs of the dog/owner, and you're not going to find that anywhere else. I'm moving to New York in a few months and adopting another Dalmatian shortly after, yet I'm already making plans to bring my future puppy to Anne for an extended "board and train" session 900 miles away because I know the results will be nothing short of OUTSTANDING. Outgoing, shy, reserved, timid, young, old, big, small, it doesn't matter, Anne and Megan can do it ALL. And btw, I worked for Pet Supermarket AND Pet paradise for years, and they knowledge I gained here allows me to thrive at my job when I'd interact with owners and their pets.

Obviously, they have had bad luck in the past, but the numerous paragraphs explaining why our pup didn't make the cut was insulting not only to us but to our dog. Did they ever think about having a one-on-one meeting with the pup, to see if this HUGE 28-pound pup showed any signs of aggression? No! Now we are glad they turned down our pup, because I don't want him in with a bunch of prima donnas.

Luckily, we found Kate! We were hesitant about the virtual training sessions at first but Kate proved us wrong. Her lesson plan was very structured and her communication skills were fantastic.

It was a lot of hardwork and Kate's guidance has made this possible. We highly recommend her! Here's Murphy doing a "settle" in San Marco Square.

She was gentle and trustworthy and reliably well-mannered throughout her life. She passed away when she was 15 years old. Her training made her final days easier on her because even though she was deaf, she recognized visual commands. The veterinarian and vet techs were able to show her what they wanted her to do rather than manhandle her. It was one thing that made a difficult time better. Now we are training a rescue with them.

After talking to several trainers I chose him based on the rapport I thought we had developed and his understanding of exactly what I want to accomplish with my dog. Although he was substantially more expensive than the other trainers I figured it's my dog and it won't be cheap no matter what. He was willing to allow me to make payments on it as well so I was very excited. When I dropped my dog off I gave him 500 cash and I was told I would start to receive videos within 3-4 weeks. A week or two later I brought him another 500 in cash. I work out of town a lot so I was really excited for my videos to start. It was shortly after that the excuses started. I heard for weeks how my dog tried to bite his wife. If that's true the wife clearly did something to my dog. She has never shown any sign of aggression to anyone ever! Then I heard for weeks that they cannot train her because of the rain. Really? You have my dog 24hrs a day! Then I kept hearing she's stubborn and won't stay. Another excuse. Your being paid 6635 to train her! It was about 4-5 weeks in that I started getting really worried. Not only do I not have any videos of my dogs progress yet, THEY ARE NOW NOT ANSWERING MY CALLS! The communication at that point went to almost nothing. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE MY DOG IS or what's going on because they meet in a parking lot on the side of a run down business. After weeks of calling and texting both Wally and Edith I finally get a response when they will be around to accept more money from me. I gave them another 2000 in cash and I just asked to send me pictures of my dog. It took over a week of calls and texts to just get a receipt for the 2000 I gave them. I was also told in email I would have a picture that night or the next day. I NEVER RECEIVED A PICTURE OR VIDEO OF MY DOG!! My 4yo daughter cried many nights because she only wanted a picture of her dog. These people didn't care about that. Weeks after asking for the first picture he finally tells me that the pictures were too blurry to send. In this day and age of technology all you can say is the pictures were blurry. When I am finally able to pick-up my dog I'm told I have a 180 dollar vet bill. Turns out my dog had a breakout from stress!! The date from the vet bill was the day after my original pick-up day! Seems funny. Not to mention you've had my dog for 12-13 weeks and she's getting stressed from training now?? The dog was stressed from a cram training last minute session. Still having to give her treats for commands after 12WEEKS of training. I understand why he would only accept cash on pick-up. He told me people have taken their dogs then stop the payment. He even tells me about all these other unhappy customers after they have picked up their dogs. Each story had the same thing in common. ITS THE OWNERS FAULT. I was told by Wally (once the dog was home) she should be in a crate or on a leash at all times, even in my home... I didn't pay 7000 to keep my dog in a crate!! We went to one "private session"with him that was a joke. 10-15 minutes is all the time he had for me. What can 15 minutes teach me? My dog has been evaluated by several AKC regesterd trainers and a K9 officer that we are currently working with and they all said to stay away from Wally and his IF YOU WANT A REAL ADVANCED OBEDIENCE DOG WITH A FOUNDATION FOR OTHER WORK DOWN THE ROAD, STAY AWAY

When I first got my precious Pomeranian puppy, I thought I could train him myself... I was wrong! He was adorable but incorrigible. I interviewed several trainers and they were all nice, but I immediately felt a connection to Ms. Eva (the owner of Wigglebutts) and knew that she would treat my little baby as if he was her own. We arranged for a "board and train" for a few weeks while I was out of town. Me. Eva made sure I came out for a visit with my doggy on another day before I left him with her so we all knew each other and he wouldn't get scared being left at a strange place with a strange person. I missed him so much and I really appreciated that Ms. Eva took frequent videos and pictures of him and texted me updates and even patiently took all of my calls so I never worried! She did an AMAZING job! She has a little "school house" on her property where she individually takes your pet to work with them which I think is a genius idea. He learned several commands including sit, stay, quiet, fetch, and conquered his potty training. All with loving guidance only! I left with instructions on how to keep training, a video of his best tricks and we had a little graduation. Ms. Eva treats you and your pet not like customers but like family! 5 stars are not enough!!!
