Lucy and Ludo were happy to see me but after saying an excited hello to me, Lucy tried to walk back into the other room as though she wanted to see her kennel friends one more time before leaving. It was really touching. The trainer kept me up to date on Lucy's progress and I even got to see social media posts about their play time and beach time. This is where they take your dog to the pool and there is also a sandy place where they can dig. It was very reassuring to me that they let me see where my pups would be staying and I got to help decorate their room. Other places won't show you the actual space your dog is in and are not transparent at all about the actual level of care. This place put my dogs' health and safety first and their happiness as a close second. I will use them again.

These folks are basically trying to sell their products - collars, leashes, etc. - and the training and support seem to be an after-thoughts. At the 4th lesson, our dog was overwhelmed and wanted to just sit on the mat. The other dogs went outside and did the agility course and our dog was told to sit back and watch (in a large grassy area with fire ants and sticker burrs). Addison said she would send us info on steps to take and further instruction at a 2-week training - never got anything else from her or these people. We decided not to show up for the 5th lesson. We have since gone to someone else, and our dog is doing great, and without a StarMark choke or prong collar that costs a lot of money and hurts the dog. The communication from the time we signed up was spotty at best, and then just got worse. There was no follow-up via phone or email at all. Would never recommend this place based on our experience.

Anthony was personable, full of good information, and helpful with anything we needed. The class was reasonably priced and I would actually pay more for the quality we received. On top of that, the facility itself is clean and organized. Our dog learned so much here and we will be returning for the more difficult classes. Highly highly recommend!

Your dog is given the best type of socialization with other dogs of similar size and energy. Along with the solicitation, you get to learn valuable lessons on how to train and prepare your dog to be the best pet around. What makes this place better than the rest is the property. After touring multiple day cares in Austin, you soon learn that they all give the dogs a box the size of a bedroom to try and get their energy out. HP takes it to the next level with a massive field with toys and obstacles that they can run until they're tired. Our pup would come back each week, and instantly pass out. One word of advice, if you have a dog like ours, be prepared for a bath when you get home, because they will come home dirty. This is definitely not the place if you are trying to keep your dog clean. That being said, it is worth the bath.

The front desk folks and techs get to me in a timely manner, even if it's busy, and they all love on my dog so much I swear she doesn't realize she's at the vet. Prices are on par with other vets in the area, maybe even a little less because they don't try to upsell you. I can trust their recommendations because they genuinely care for your pet's wellbeing. I wish they were my doctors! :) I'm ok going to anyone at the office, but Dr. Baugh and Dr. Kingston have been particularly great to work with!

Grateful to have found Great Oaks, knowing we can trust them to care for our hounds like they were their own. Love.

I picked Conscious Dog Training because the reviews show they have experience with pugs, and when Hemi had some naughty behavior that needed to be nipped in the bud, CDT stepped in and helped my husband and I better understand what was going on. I love the attention to detail and the customization done with these guys. Our trainer was Rebecca, and she showed up to our house ready to take on Hemi, who we learned, just needed boundaries and more structure in his routine. Training your dog is primarily the effort you make. So if you're ready to do the work, CDT is ready to take you on. They have a zero tolerance policy with electric shock therapy/shock collars, or anything leaning towards negative reinforcement.

Jennifer was a life saver. I had a very aggressive French bulldog that was attacking my other dog…read more It was a highly stressful living situation and didn't know where to turn. By luck, I found Jennifer and she was the perfect fit. She was patient with me, was always upbeat and practiced rewards based training that I could actually repeat on my own and really helped me understand my dogs. She's honestly not just a trainer, she's a shrink for the whole family. She was able to figure out our dynamic and tell me what the dogs were thinking just by their body language and signals and taught me how to read their signs too. The aggression took not only training but meds too. Jennifer helped with so much input and advise on that too. I honestly could not have gotten through the stress of two dogs in the same household not getting along without Jenn keeping everything in perspective for me. She would remind me where we started, the plan we were on and where we were going. I clearly am beyond thrilled with Jennifer's training!! Fast forward two years and I now have more to thank Jenn for! I no longer have my Frenchie but I do have two amazing Pugs. Jenn has reminded me of the basic training I've already been taught and we are back to using our magic mats. They have been great at getting the puppy to settle as one crazy dog usually leads to two crazy dogs. We have also started our amazing loose leash training again and see how the little bit of structure helps the dogs calm down and helps us build a closer bond. This is Jenn's calling as she is an amazing dog trainer/therapist for both dogs and humans...and don't kid yourself, this training is really for you, not the dog!

The day after scheduling, an office representative called to confirm the details of the appointment, including the date, time, and that Dr. Driscoll would be seeing my dog. Then, 24 hours before the appointment, I received another voicemail confirming the same information and asking me to arrive 15 minutes early. I arrived as instructed, only to be told that Dr. Driscoll had been double-booked and that some appointments had been reassigned to a relief veterinarian who had never examined my dog before. For a patient with a serious cancer diagnosis, continuity of care is extremely important. If scheduling changes were necessary, I should have been notified before I arrived so I could decide whether to keep the appointment or reschedule with the veterinarian who was already familiar with my dog's condition. Instead, I took time off, arrived early as requested, and was met with an unexpected change that could have been communicated in advance. This experience was disappointing and reflected poor communication and a lack of consideration for clients dealing with difficult medical situations.

She was fearful of other dogs and dangerous around people (even members of our own family) because she was so scared.

Christie's training didn't just help our family, it gave our dog the confidence she needs to live a happy life. We continue to board and take group lessons there. We are forever grateful to her and love her beautiful facility.

They send send us regular SMS photos of our doggie which is a nice touch. We live in downtown Austin and have tried various other pet borders. Every time we would board him downtown, our dog was stressed and took a while to get back to normal. We probably tried five or six before finding Just Fur Pets. We tried Just Fur Pets on a recommendation from a work colleague. We never looked back. Even though the drive is 45-55 minutes one way, it is well worth it. Our dog loves Denise and her husband. They take great care of him. Also, their their rates are very reasonable. Much cheaper than downtown Austin standards. While it is a little bit of a drive, your bill will be less and you can sleep easily knowing your pet is well taken care of and loved. Simply put, I cannot recommend Just Fur Pets enough. I would give them six stars if I could!

She is kind, flexible, and professional. Her rates are reasonable and my dog's obvious happiness is all over his face at drop off and pick up. We've used her services many times and we will keep coming back forever!
