    I originally reached out to Atlantic K9 Training because my one-year-old Cane Corso/Pittie mix,…read moreBrinley, was getting a little too strong for me to handle. She's incredibly sweet and submissive with other dogs, but she loved to jump on people and had a habit of pulling hard on the leash during walks. At 60 pounds, it was definitely a lot to manage! From the start, Kylie and the Atlantic K9 team were amazing--professional, knowledgeable, and so caring. Brinley attended their two-week bootcamp, and I'll admit, it was hard sending her away for that long with no visits. I was worried she might feel abandoned, but Atlantic K9 made the experience so much easier. They uploaded pictures every day of her playing with other dogs, looking happy and confident, with a smile bigger than I've ever seen on her. It was clear she was having the time of her life--more like a fun vacation than "training camp." When Brinley came home, the transformation was incredible. She has great recall, walks beautifully on leash, and I can now even let her walk off-leash with full confidence. She's learned to stay in her "place," respond to "no" consistently, and--best of all--she no longer jumps on people! I'm so grateful to Kylie and the entire Atlantic K9 team for their compassion, communication, and the amazing results they delivered. Brinley is happier, calmer, and more connected to me than ever. I can't recommend Atlantic K9 Training enough!

    We can never thank the team at Atlantic enough for the absolute transformation they did on our…read moreOllie. We reached out the Atlantic at a complete loss of how to help our sweet Ollie boy succeed. They were nothing but kind, communicative and supportive during our initial conversations, and put us completely at ease about sending our boy to the two-week bootcamp, a choice that was incredibly hard for us! Ollie is a five year old Australian Shepherd/Poodle mix who went to training pre-pandemic and has always been incredibly shy with strangers. Before 2020, this manifested as leash reactivity and we were working hard at it when social distancing went into place. Post-pandemic, we tried every method we could find to try and help him with this, but despite all efforts, his reactivity increased tenfold to include dogs and small children. Sometimes he would he completely fine, and other times, he would aggressively bark and lunge at dogs and kids. It was so stressful that we started keeping him away from other dogs, and our small nieces and nephews to be safe. Ollie's alert barking additionally reached an all time high in the summer of 2023, and his counter-surfing was out of control. We decided it was officially time to get professional help. My husband and I want to start a family soon, and were terrified to think that Ollie's unpredictability could jeopardize his relationship with our future kids. His alert barking was creating a near-constant level of stress in our home, and we couldn't imagine how Ollie would be able to function happily or be involved as our family continues to grow. Throughout the two weeks of bootcamp, we got daily communication about Ollie's progress from the team and pictures of him playing happily during break times. Most importantly, however, K-9 Atlantic has completely transformed our boy, and given us the utmost confidence that Ollie will be the BEST big brother someday. He is literally like a different dog in all of the best ways. He's still our sweet, snuggly, silly boy, but without all of the incessant barking and sneakiness! His reactivity is now basically nonexistent, and he happily plays with our little nieces and nephews when they come over! He is a rockstar on and off-leash. We've even slowly integrated meeting new dogs in controlled settings, and he has been so very successful. He hasn't even counter surfed (despite us purposely leaving chicken on the counter in his reach in order to practice!!!!). Ollie's newfound confidence shines in his ability to meet new people and have experiences without all of the anxiety that he displayed prior to his time at K-9 Atlantic. He is the best version of himself, and we are so beyond proud of the good boy his has become!!! I don't know what magic the K-9 Atlantic team did with him while he was training, but we cannot believe that he is the same dog. He has been SO good, and an absolute angel while practicing. We are beyond grateful for everyone at Atlantic for truly transforming our boy and our lives. We can never thank you enough!

    I cannot begin to describe what a rewarding (and fascinating) experience this was for our family…read more We have a 108 lb. "adolescent" Lab/Mastiff rescue who just became too hard for us to manage safely. Sarah gave us the tools and coaching we needed so that we can now once again walk Finn in public, have people come to the door and enter our house without issues, and take Finn to the vet without problems. I can work remotely in peace! I say "rewarding" because at our weekly training sessions it was amazing to see what Finn could do once properly trained and more importantly, how much he wanted to succeed. Above and beyond, we enjoy being with Finn again and I think that he's a happier pup as well . I highly recommend Dog Coach for anyone who is struggling with issues with their pup. I only wish we had started training before it became a problem. Thanks, Sarah, for all your help! I know you are as proud of Finn as we are!

So we needed to get him under control and fast. After only 3 sessions with Sarah our pup is a model citizen. It's to the point that we can take him anywhere and he just sits by our side patiently waiting for us to lead the way. He's about 6 months now and i never thought he'd be this well behaved. I can even leave a bag of treats at nose level, OPENED and he wont touch them. Calling her was the best thing we did...besides getting our puppy of course :-)

    Our 6 month old Bullmastiff puppy recently stayed with BryAnne for a 2 week board and train. We…read morepicked this program because the trainers live with and train your dog in their own homes (as opposed to a kennel setting). I wanted a trainer who could work on every day puppy manners around the home in addition to leash training. Prior to training, our pup was a handful - as a large breed, he was already 75 lbs at 6 months and his pulling and lunging while on a leash was becoming dangerous. I'm 5'9 and he would lunge suddenly while walking on leash and he would literally pull me off my feet. He also would bite everything - not aggressive, just puppy mouthing, but it was non stop. He could not be left alone unsupervised for even short periods of time (like cooking dinner in the other room) because you would find him chewing a couch leg, etc. We picked him up from his training this week. I am shocked at how well his training went. BryAnne truly loves dogs and treated my pup like one of her own. She gave us frequent video and photo updates. From her videos, I could see that she clearly made my pup feel at home in her house. When our dog came home, we joked that we picked up the wrong pup. Where was the 75lb maniac? The first night, I assumed he was calm because he was just exhausted from running around during our training session (BryAnne worked with us for over an hour to show us all the training). But we are a few days out now and the change is remarkable. He's calm on the leash, plays appropriately, but he's still our snuggle bug. He's a pleasure to have around the house (no jumping, nipping at feet, etc.) We will continue to work with BryAnne to make sure we keep working on his training skills. We now have a strong foundation to build on. Thank you, BryAnne, for all of your hard work with our good boy!

    if you need a daycare, look no further because this is the best one…read more I was leaving on a two week vacation and, very last minute, the person who was watching my one-year-old puppy (Lexapro, Lexi for short) bailed on me. I was absolutely frantic trying to find a daycare for her. I sent a message to mcgrupps, and got an almost immediate response from the owner, Megan. She walked me through the steps of what I would need to do in order to board my pup and got me in very quickly to do an assessment. My dog is very anxious and Megan and the staff knew exactly how to handle her. They answered all of my questions and helped me feel at ease about leaving my dog for the first time. While I was away, the wonderful staff posted pictures of my dog every day on Instagram so that I could see what she was up to, which made me feel so much more at ease. I even called for an update a couple of times (crazy dog mom, i know) and the staff were so kind and took her time to talk to me about my girl. When I came to pick her up, she was bathed and ready to go. Being at the daycare, I can see that Lexi has opened up and made tons of friends. She didn't even need her anxiety medication because of how well she was taken care of. I couldn't be more grateful and I am so excited to have a reliable daycare to send Lexi to whenever I need it. thank you mcgrupps!!!!

Since diagnosis Oliver has been doing much better and we are so excited for him to be healthy enough to return to McGrupps.

We are so lucky to live down the street from this clean, friendly, dog orientated facility - even for the high need pups! Highly highly recommend!

They're attentive and genuinely care for the dogs--they've built a real bond with mine, and it shows every time we walk through the door. I always feel confident leaving my pup in their care. The facility itself is spotless, well-organized, and thoughtfully laid out with dedicated areas for both play and rest. I really appreciate the consistent updates, photos, and feedback--it gives me peace of mind throughout the day. My dog always comes home clean, happy, and nicely worn out from a fun day with the Dingo team. I highly recommend Dingo Day Care to any pet parent looking for a safe, trustworthy, and joyful environment for their dog.

The owner and staff are very in tune with dogs and their needs, cornerstoned on animal and human safety! The portal to sign up for services is easy to use, and the staff is great if you need any help! They are active on social media, so sometimes you will get a nice look into the day your pup is having. Shout out to Nancy, the owner, for her care and concern and excellent communication. Marylin, one of the bus drivers and Scooby's walker, is terrific with my dog and a pleasure to chat with during drop-offs/pick-ups. Fae was outstanding for a short little overnight boarding we needed last month. Lastly, Chelsey, their resident expert behavioral dog trainer, has been essential for our success by helping Scooby not only learn some much-needed basics but also helping us through some challenging situations. Another plus is that they offer fun "experience" add-ons for the daycare. Such as puzzle time, glam photo sessions, mini walks, and even some one-on-one fetch time!
