    highly disappointed in the lack of customer service And blatant dishonesty…read more while she does respond to emails fairly quickly, I do dislike being outright lied to. recently purchased two ruff land crates. paid for additional shipping. zero issues. everything up to that points was handled as I would expect. However, when asked for tracking information (several days after the funds for shipping were sent/received) Sarah stated in an email that the courier/shipping company she uses 'does not' have tracking numbers. That sounded strange to me, so I called the company. As I was able to tell them where the shipment was originating from and where it was going, In less than 2 minutes they were more than happy to supply me with the tracking number and the weigh bill information. Unfortunately the lack of professionalism continued and the crates were not shipped In a timely manner. Blame was placed wholly on the courier service and I am left wondering what to believe. I personally would not recommend purchasing from the store, transparency and honesty go a long way In todays day and age, and neither of those things were apparently a priority AFTER the purchase was made. I have no issues waiting for items, however the 12 days for the shipment to be couriered 85 km (with a ferry ride) is rather excessive to me, Unless otherwise stated.

    We just love Barks and Rec! They do such a great job on Lola's grooming! She looks fabulous!! We've…read moredone training and daycare as well and we are super happy with everything!!

    For years I  have had dogs, and for years I have always wished that I had 'one of those dogs'…read more We all know what I mean by 'those dogs'; the behaved ones, the ok on a leash and doesn't pull you ones, the you can take anywhere ones, the ones that aren't an embarrassment. So before the arrival of my Irish Terrier puppy came I armed myself with all of the knowledge of the breed, I had made the choice and knew from day one that puppy training was not an option but a must for this dare devil dog. When Roots came we started with Puppy Training at Bosley's with Shannon from Yoga Dog, it was at the puppy stage I soon realized it was more about what we do as owners , than pulling the lucky straw. Roots and I continued with Shannon at Yoga Dog with agility classes, not for the sport but rather for the active training and bonding it provided, never mind it is a great form of constructive exercise for my Terrier and teaches him to be around other dogs. It wasn't that the dogs came behaving a certain way, but rather about what we do as owners,  I was very fortunate to have found Shannon and her services, I can honestly say that I now have 'one of those dogs'

    From the owner: Yogadog combines a variety of training methods, traditional and new age, to find programs that work…read morefor all kinds of dogs and people. The five programs offered are loosely and humorously based on practices of Yoga. Yogadog specializes in puppy kindergarten, beginner obedience, advanced obedience, agility, aggression management and prevention, separation anxiety and basic pet dog training issues. In Yoga you first learn the poses, then master the poses, then develop endurance. Similarly in Yogadog Dog Training the dog learns the behaviour, then masters the poses and eventually learns to do the behaviours for longer periods of time with more endurance. All the courses and private consultations are aimed at improving the bond that the dog owner has with his or her pet and establishing better communication, so the dog can succeed. Most importantly Yogadog Training is fun and includes the whole family!

    Spoke to Australian man, so I'm assuming is the owner operator of this business. I just wanted to…read moreinquire about dogs socialization programs, if he offered them and how much it cost. Basic simple questions. He asked and I explained to him a few of minor behaviours that my dog was having and what I was looking for and hoping to gain from integration classes. At this point he strangely and unexpectedly went into Attack Mode. He started telling me that I didn't know what I was doing with my dog and that because of her breed she may never change. He accused me of not knowing anything about her breed. We actually I have two dogs of this breed and have done tons of research and purposely seeked out a 2nd dog of this breed. He stated that I should take her to school grounds to let her run around because not all dogs are going to get along and some of them will just never fit in. He also stated that because of my dog's breed there may be no hope for her. This is a well-known fact with any dog professional, or anyone that knows anything about dogs, to not be true. She's not at all miss behaved dog, she's actually very well trained so I'm not sure why he went off on that tangent. When I told him that you can get fined for having dogs in school grounds he became even more condescending and rude and stated....as long as you pick up your poop etcetera. NOT TRUE. He blathered on saying "people like me" call him to get free advice and was accusing me of this. Even though that's not at all what I was calling about but I wasn't able to get a word in edgewise. I was inquiring about putting my dog in an integration class. We have two dogs both very well behaved and trained but because we both work we wanted the younger one to go into a dog daycare of sorts where she can get more integration. he was very rude and condescending and he talked down to me the entire time, he didn't LISTEN to anything I said, he heard what he wanted to hear. Complete turn off. Not the kind of person you want to deal with when you're inquiring about amenities for your pets. Maybe he was having a bad day I don't know, but to lump all dog owners into a category and treat them in this way is completely inappropriate. I would strongly suggest against using this business, there are plenty of other dog facilities with more open minded kind people.
