I'm SOOOO thankful for that rejection because there's no way they would've done what Tame did. I truly thought we were going to have to give up one of my girls because of fights. I've never had an issue with training in my 40+ years on this earth & was so disheartened. Tame turned that around. I have the tools now & knowledge of some new tricks to help me & most importantly them. We were lucky enough to get paired with Riley who was so prompt with communication. We did the long program & he (and his team) went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. Even after we brought her home they still answer our random questions. I live in the Ft.

I could not say enough great things about Matt and his team, they changed mine and my dogs life!

We have spent three years having trainers tell us to rehome one of our pups or having training…read moreopportunities fall through as we tried to address the reactiveness of one of our dogs toward the other. Our daily routines involved, what we called, "the prisoner exchange," moving one dog inside and the other outside repeatedly so they did not fight. We believed in Leo and William and knew that they could make each other's lives so much richer with the right support and knowledge. When I called Karma for training options, I was told they had the perfect trainer for our situation and that the trainer could come live with us for ten days. Enter - Kai Whitmore - the man, the myth, the legend. I was very hopeful, but skeptical that my pups could get along, however, Kai got to know each of them individually, understood their strengths and weaknesses, and built up their basic skills that would be helpful when they interacted. Within days, Kai had the boys hanging out together in the backyard and the house. Shortly thereafter, they were playing together, napping together, and bonding over their mutual desire to keep our yard cat-free. Now a mere two weeks later, they are co-existing most of the day, though we do give them breaks because it is still so new. Not only did Kai work his magic with the dogs, but he also provided our family the support and confidence we needed to ensure Leo and William's friendship continues to progress and to keep them both continually learning new skills or sharpening old ones. We know within a matter of weeks, we will be living with both dogs on the same schedule and in the same spaces as we have always wanted. Kai believed in the dogs and believed in us. We couldn't have dreamed of a better result. And despite the length of this review, I can't find the words that truly express the gratitude and admiration I have for Kai as both a dog trainer and human being. If you are fortunate enough to meet Kai, or have the benefit of him helping with your dog training, just start thanking him out the gate to get ahead of it.

He was so great with our sweet little girl and we can finally take her on walks without the embarrassment and fear that she will start barking uncontrollably.

Cheryl is the best. Seriously. We heard about her from a friend and when we meet for our free…read moreevaluation I knew she was gonna be our trainer. We live in Lake Stevens which is out of her travel range so we met at McCollum park in Everett for our sessions. We have a 6 month old Whippet and the web is full of information about how Whippets are not motivated to be trained, can never be trusted off leash, no training collars (they have thin necks), are very sensitive, etc. After reading all this I was left bewildered. I had trained our previous dog (Lab) but I felt like nothing I knew before would work on this dog and I hadn't even started! Cheryl put my mind at ease. She felt that a balanced approach (a gentler training collar with lots of positive reinforcement) was the way to go and how a dog is trained and what it can and can't do is up to the individual dog and its owner. We signed up for her Silver package and met twice a week for 5 weeks. After our first lesson I was so pleased I could cry. Just that lesson taught Dobby not to pull which was his biggest issue. From there he learned sit, down, come, place, heel, stay, not to jump up on people and just how to generally pay attention to me more than his surroundings. Its tough for him as Sighthounds see everything and are intensely interested. But he's come so so far. Cheryl never lost her cool, never lost her patience and she had a solution for every issue that came up. I had to bring my 4 kids numerous times as we homeschool and she was never (visibly) annoyed, even though they were sometimes quite annoying :) We did end up using an electronic collar and our last few sessions involved working with him on that. He has begun work off leash using this collar. It also helps make corrections at home when he doesn't have a leash on and is far away. I would recommend using the e-collar option if it fits into your budget. Its been really nice. I can't recommend Cheryl highly enough. We really enjoyed our time with her and Duke and her impact on Dobby and us will last a very long time. She enabled us to have a well-behaved dog that we can take anywhere. That's priceless.

Our puppies are now much older, and they are treated with love and care. As long as we are allowed to enjoy our puppies, we will have them stay at Rover Resort. This way, we can enjoy our vacation with peace of mind. They really are the best of the best.

When they don't feel like working they just go into the System and Cancel your Appointments. This is now the THIRD time I've had this happen with TWO separate STORES. Sherman TEXAS PetSmart is absolutely Appalling. Their Gold Medal Winners of the LAZIEST PeTSMART Employees in the USA. Not only did I have an appointment on January 18th I showed up 15 minutes Early and was told that the GROOMER had just LEFT for LUNCH knowing she had an EXPRESS GROOMING Appointment. Then I was told she left because she had a Stressful Morning and should be back in 30 Minutes and they would call me as soon as she returned. I sat in my car for 45 minutes no call ever came. In November I made an Appointment for my dog to be groomed before we traveled for Christmas. The night before at 8pm I get a call from the Grooming department at Sherman PetSmart informing me my appointment had been cancelled due to the groomer being sick. So I rescheduled Jojo's appointment for after the Holidays this was the First Time it was Canceled By someone other then myself. Now today after Confirming the Appointment on the app and fully checking in. I go on the application to get the Address of the McKinney store since I'd never been and SOB if my Appointment isn't cancelled AGAIN. The employee after informing this is NOT their problem it's MY problem. As I was typing this I got a call from the Manager of the McKinney Store. Y'all you can't make this Shit UP.

Being a husky mix we shouldn't have been surprised. We did 4 sessions with Dawn and she helped us with the basic commands and we saw a major change in Alphie. He listens to us so well now and is more responsive to our commands. We are still working on the leash reactivity, but he is slowly improving. The main thing was that Dawn gave us the tools to calm him and/or distract him when he gets into a reactive situation. We are hopeful he is going to get much better. Repetition and routine is key. Dawn was amazing to work with. We went to her house twice for the training and she had an awesome yard for Alphie to run around in, and we got to see how amazing he is off the leash with her dogs, which was so fun to see. Thank you Dawn!!

We still take Leia to board with Dawn when we are away- Dawn just mixed her right in with all the other dogs so she can have fun and play, spend time outside, and enjoy the other people around. I would choose this over a kennel atmosphere anytime! And as a bonus, Dawn works on training reminders with Leia while she boards her, so I get a refreshed dog when I return! Dawn is the BEST!
