    They took excellent care of my puppy while I was gone on vacation. Richard and his crew are top notch. Highly recommend.

    I'm obviously a crazy dog person, and don't trust many people to watch my baby, with Richard my mind is at ease!

    First - Check References!! And I don't mean her friends, real people that have had success with…read moreAlaina's style of dog/puppy training. While I do appreciate the fact that Alaina offered to refund her fee, I was trying to be nice and thought that she had given us her time, etc. However, after some time away from the situation and after attending MUCH cheaper / MORE helpful classes at our local PetCo, I now know that we didn't get really anything out of the two partial days she spent with us. Lesson learned. First example, she contradicted herself on more than one occasion confusing us and maybe even herself. We rescued a puppy from a shelter, a puppy that had been in quarantine and had come from another high kill shelter. She told us to get over where the puppy came from because the puppy got over it already...however she sites Pavlov and how dogs learn from positive reinforcement but how can they only learn from the positive, don't they also learn from the negative?? She admitted that she misspoke and didn't mean to. She mentioned that during our meetings, she has limited time so she sometimes rushes through things. Not good. Second example, on to our first actual meeting (the consultation), she spent AT LEAST 1/2 of ours telling us about how she had clients that lived in $10 million dollar homes and other similar comments, as if this would impress us, really?? It felt a little slimly, used car salesperson anyone?? She did not give us the full two hours 'we didn't need it'. Third example, she wanted to take my dog for the day, I do not know where and was very confused because she hadn't made this clear to me. She said she didn't have enough time during our training sessions to really work with the dog. For whatever reason, this made me very uncomfortable. How are we going to work with our dog if we are not there?? I think she was probably going to take the dog to her trainer because she was more than a little perplexed by our crazy puppy. * Her walking technic would have killed the dog if we had implemented it. She wanted us to pivot the other way when she pulled. This would have never worked with our dog. * Walking should be fun, not THAT MUCH work for the dog or us! * The 'bonk' she wanted us to smack the puppy with pissed the dog off to no end, created more anxiety in all of us and the dog. * There is not a one size fits all for training any dog. * She sites 'bad dogs' for barking at her dogs while walking or standing in front of them. These 'bad dogs' are on their property, behind a gate. Why are they bad?? Aren't dogs supposed to bark at times? My dog, without her help, walks by similar barking dogs every day, looks at them and keeps walking. * We felt that she was always watching the clock, not really giving us the full hour training we expected. Live and learn. I have learned, love our local PetCo, Bridgitte gets our crazy dog and loves her.

    I've got two, high-energy Boxers that were troublesome to walk- they were inattentive, I was…read moreconstantly choking them (I know! I was still using a choke chain.), and the older Boxer snapped at old folks from the assisted living home at the end of our block! Alaina first gave me some wonderful background on the prong collar, brought two prong collars with her, and promptly began getting my dogs used to the collar. We took the dogs on a walk together where she showed me how to properly apply pressure, how to "ask" my dogs to sit, and how to wear out my dogs mentally with tasks during the walk since it's really tough to walk them far enough to physically wear them out. Months later, it is a joy to walk my dogs! They sit when I "ask", they know commands, they are tuned in to me, and my husband and I agree that we both feel more in control of our dogs with the prong collars on. I even feel safe to take our Boxers on playdates with my 6 year olds friends because they listen so attentively now, along with the effectiveness of the collars. Having well behaved dogs has made me love them even more and for that I am really grateful!

    Can't rave enough. I was referred by my friend that lives down the street while I was pregnant and…read moreunable to walk my golden retriever. My dog Hoops now waits by the window for Sam every single day and we went from a few walks a week to 5 days because honestly...it's so worth it and knowing our dog gets adequate exercise, hang time with other dogs and fun outside makes it worth it. Sam shows up every morning or afternoon and we chat a little and he genuinely loves my dog. He also sends pictures from the walk and it makes my day. At this point he is a part of our crew! I never thought I'd have someone walk my dog but now I'm addicted and Sam can never leave us

    Sam and Sofia there is not enough positive things I could say about these two. We have been with…read morethem for years. Originally with my 80lbs Bernadoodle Oliver (5) who absolutely loved them. Sam & Oliver had a very special connection. Before Oliver passed Sam & Sofia came over and spent an hour with him giving him all the snuggles. Fast forward and we got a new puppy Rigby (1) who Sam has been training since day one. Rigby is the best on leash dog walker we have ever owned. He never pulls or barks at other dogs it's incredible what Sam has been able to do with him. We also do weekly training with Sam and Rigby has made huge improvements. Lastly my old lady Ellie (13) has the biggest love connection with Sofia. She brightens up the second she sees her. She is older and can't walk as often and I appreciate that Sam always offers her a walk but goes off her queues. I must also mention they are the most thoughtful humans. Never is there a holiday missed with these 2! From Halloween toys to Christmas ornaments or valentines sweets the dogs are spoiled by Sam and Sofia. We are so lucky to have them and honestly happy to call them friends. If you're in the area and are looking for kind, trust worthy humans this is your team.
