Every session is personalized to meet my dog's unique needs, and they offer specialized courses and workshops that are tailored to my schedule and training needs. Each trainer brings their own specialty to the table, and together they work as a team to ensure every client receives the care and training they need. Plus, their commitment to giving back--with foster and rescue dog training programs--truly shows they care about the community as much as they care about our pets.

I cannot say enough good about this place! I've been waiting to post my review until I completed my…read moreclass here and now I can firmly say that this place is fantastic! 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!

I have a one and a half year old dachshund mix that I rescued. He is so scared of people and dogs…read moreand needed socialization desperately. I took him to this class with 6 other dogs and their owners and initially he was shaking and panting and yawning and would not even take a treat or look at me during the first session. Marcia was so patient and encouraging and you could tell she really cared. After the course my dog was completely paying attention to me, not shaking, panting, or yawning. He learned most of the common commands when he didn't know any to begin with. Such a great class for such a reasonable price!

Megan has many years of agility experience under her belt and it shows! She is very patient with new teams starting out in the sport and is helpful in correcting both ends of the leash. We have also dabbled in Canine Fitness classes with Leah. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the anatomy and physiology of dogs. Knowing that Leah strives for continued education keeps my mind at ease when she works with my pups. Each student has a custom plan tailored to their particular needs, as well as very detailed homework to do after class is over. This is the nonjudgmental environment that my husband and I have been looking for since my first pup was 8 weeks old. I wish we would have found WLTC sooner, but it's better late than never!

If you're reading reviews prior to July 2023, you're not getting an accurate picture of PAWS. Fetch…read more'n Catch took over operations of the facility around July of last year. The reviews for Paws Play and Stay are for a different facility than PAWS Canine Activity Center. I'm not sure what I could say about PAWS that my dog Bailey hasn't already said about Fetch 'n Catch (you can read her review under the Yelp listing for Fetch 'n Catch). This place is run by a fun, energetic, dedicated staff of dog-lovers. Their hours are super convenient and the service they provide is unmatched. Before I found Fetch 'n Catch / PAWS, I was paying a local dog walking company over $30 for a thirty-minute walk. For not much more, Bailey gets an entire day of exercise and learning. We reinforce her door manners and commands at home, and she's a much happier dog because of it. It's also really convenient to be able to get Bailey's baths, nail trimmings, and tooth brushings done on her school days. We do our booking online, but you can also call, text, or stop in. I recommend PAWS / Fetch 'n Catch to every dog owner I meet. They are worth their weight in gold!

I DO NOT recommend Paws Play and Stay, the one star is for cleanliness, and that's where the…read morepositivity ends. Found this location online, needed a one day a week daycare for our 4 month old Beagle puppy, and wanted it for his socialization as well. Took him for a meet and greet and he did great (as we expected!), we set up a half day introductory daycare appt and two full days after that, as that is what they require. After the first half day, I was informed at pick up that he wasn't a good fit because he barked during crate time and it was an anxious "attention getting" bark. They offered to try a 2nd half day to try a quieter crating area. Within 1 hour of drop off I was called to pick him up since NOW he was barking during play. I was told to call upon arrival because the door would be locked since they had him secluded in the empty grooming salon, alone. Unbelievable. When someone came to open the door they were carrying our puppy as if to shove him in my arms the moment I entered. I was told he was too anxious for daycare, but was a good dog and not aggressive. I was told he "missed his mommy" when I left and that I should try taking him to public places for socialization, as well as separating from him more often. I was VERY confused since he has been left at a dogsitters home for 2 full weekends in the 2 months we have had him and he did just fine both times for 3 days each time... and they welcome him back. This puppy goes EVERYWHERE... from the park to Home Depot to Target and allll the area pet stores... he's on a first name basis with much of the staff at Cabela's! I would never want my dog to be under any kind of stress, but I would think it is pretty common for ANY puppy to show some kind of anxiety during their first few days of daycare. I am terribly disappointed that nothing was done to try and get our dog acclimated to daycare, and the best option was to resort to putting him in a crate in an empty room alone. Very disappointed that they seemed to quickly dismiss our dog.

Our puppy struggled…read morewith impulse control and would often display aggressive behaviors/excessive barking out of frustration. He came out of the board and train a changed pup. He is now able to show restraint around other dogs, food, etc. Walking him is a breeze, he stays right by our side and rarely pulls. He no longer barks repeatedly at us or gets in biting moods. The structure that was provided by Kelli and her staff at The Pit Chic established a great foundation for our puppy that we continue to build on now that he is back home. 100% recommend these services. We will be bringing him back for future boarding as we know he is in good hands there

We were looking for a location that was close but were willing to drive if needed for our dog's training. What attracted us (my boyfriend and I) to Canine Sports Complex was the not only the great word of mouth reviews but the fact that they only use positive training methods and their trainers are wonderful. Everyone is super nice, patient and truly is committed to agility/training of dogs. Their owner, Jeannine Jay, is great and very considerate/aware of each dog and their individual personality. If you are interested in agility and live in the city, definitely check out Canine Sports Complex. Josie loves it and the people there are so wonderful. Also note* Aside from agility,They offer lots of great classes for puppies and obedience training.
