He has no idea that it's actually helping him with his walking and muscle building, he just thinks it's a party every time! The owners MaryBeth and Phil, and their staff are amazing and really know what they are doing. They are very compassionate about their work and helping dogs with everything from rehabilitation, physical therapy, to exercise. The business is so popular, that they are almost always full, so if you are a new client, you may need to wait a month or two to get in. However, for those of us that are regulars, and/or have been coming for years, they try to be a little more accommodating. The pool is an indoor, heated pool that is neither chlorine or salt. It's a more advanced filtration system that doesn't require harsh chemicals to clean the water. But the water IS very clean, and the facility is just beautiful. Whatever your dogs needs, this is the place to go. They provide life vests of all sizes, as their "clients" come in all sizes from Chihuahuas, to Newfoundlands. If your dog is not fond or scared of water, they'll work with them to slowly ease them into the water, not forcing them to go in until they are ready. Just a great place overall, I highly recommend them!

It's been a little over a year and we've been really happy with the service they provide. He is always exhausted when we pick him up. It's also been a great way for him to be social with other dogs and I'm sure it's helped his demeanor when we are out in public with him. We also took the puppy obedience class they have and learned a lot! Thank you, Laura! The owner, Noelle, and the staff are great!

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!

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 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!

We called this place THREE times to enroll our puppy in classes. The first time, a man answered and…read moresaid he wasn't in the office and that he'd call me back in 10 minutes...he never called back. The second time, a woman answered and told me she'd call me later that day...she never called. The third time we spoke to a new woman (on speakerphone) who told us the day, date & time of the class and she confirmed our enrollment. We showed up (15 minutes early per their request) and there was one older employee doing agility with her senior dog, she largely ignored us. Then another woman, also an employee, came in asking us what we were doing there. We said we were there for puppy class and wondered where the instructor (and other people/puppies) were. She said that the instructor's Poodle was having surgery that week so there's no way she would have been starting a new class that day. Ridiculous since both my husband and I clearly heard the date & time AND immediately we both set reminders on our phone. We really wanted to take our puppy here since they have a pretty nice looking agility course and their classes included an intro to it, but they're so disorganized. It is clear that the owner(s) and instructors don't communicate too often or too well. I have five friends who recently got puppies and asked me if this place was good and I told them to steer clear from it.

Miranda rawks! She has not yet turned my puppy into a little angel, but it's not for lack of trying on her part. The G-Dawg and I are about to graduate from puppy obedience school, and I will be signing up for the next level. My puppy is trouble, just like me. Miranda is a puppy/animal behaviorist and trains by the positive enforcement clicker-method. My puppy is, of course, brilliant, so I love it when he catches on that he's supposed to accomplish complex manuevers such as "down" or "sit" or "don't eat". Miranda also works with problem dogs, and I've heard only good things about her. I'm taking off a star for the physical location, but I'm sure the rent is reasonable and it's not like one can make a fortune off of dog training and doggy day care.

He had a stick that he pulled out when the dogs got too rambunctious and ALL OF THEM WOULD REACT TO IT, COWERING IN FEAR. He said they /just know/ that when he's holding the stick that he's powerful but that's absolute crap, that is not normal behavior for a dog, who would generally LIKE sticks and stick-like objects. I hope for the dogs' sake that he's changed but for the dogs' sake he deserves this review. I've been bitching about this place to everyone for years but finally thought to share online when hearing about someone coming here made me sick.

Our neighbors took their dog for training and daycare at ACE and spoke highly of it. When we first took her she was nervous, she has separation anxiety. When we drop her off now, 7 months later, she hops out of the car and is so excited. She is definitely tired after and sleeps the rest of the day. They also have dog grooming on site which is so convenient. I have never had an issue to this point where I feel uncomfortable about dropping her off. The staff is very nice as is the owner who always speaks highly of our pup. I would recommend Absolute Canine to anyone looking for well structured, reasonably priced doggie daycare.
