She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a natural ability to read our puppy so well. Everything she taught us was practical and genuinely useful. As first-time dog owners, we had a lot to learn, and Sami made it easy to understand our puppy's needs. She always had thoughtful answers and creative ideas we never would have come up with on our own. She was also fantastic at involving our kids in the training, which made the whole experience even more special. On top of that, she's just a wonderful human being. Our puppy was always so excited when Sami came over, which says a lot! We will definitely be scheduling more sessions in the future. After every session, we got an email with a full report on everything we learned, which was super helpful. When we first got a puppy, I didn't think training would be necessary--but now I truly wish for every new dog owner to have someone like Sami.

A true dog whisperer! While I've only ever worked with two other dog trainers, CJ instantly stood…read moreout with her philosophy of understanding what's in a dog's mind rather than forcing what's in the owner's mind onto the dog. With every issue we faced, she sought to figure out how to turn my dog's attentions away from their "naughty " behavior and towards an acceptable alternative. It's worked unbelievably well. We've been working with CJ for almost four months and I can say without question, that these are the most well-trained dogs I've ever had. And, the cherry on top? They LOVE training! If you're on the fence about training, give CJ a try. It's a totally worthwhile investment, something you'll be thanking yourself for many times over, over the years. You can't go wrong!

We took a level 1 obedience at PANT in South Philly, and Emily and Aaron were fabulous instructors…read more We originally started with 5 dogs, but the subsequent classes waned to 3 and then 2 so our pup got a lot of 1:1 attention. The classes started on time, and were structured with different skills each class. We started warming up our dogs before jumping into new skills, which was nice. They did a great job at making sure there were no nose to nose interactions between the dogs and were very patient with the more reserved dogs. We would definitely consider taking another class with Unleashed because their instructors clearly know their stuff! Our dog has mastered "touch" and "place", and he has gotten a lot better at "stay". Emily even taught him a cute bonus trick "wave"! Thank you!!

Dr. Russell, Nurse Shannon, and the entire team at VEG Northern Liberties were absolutely amazing…read more From the moment Stella and I walked through the door, we were warmly greeted and immediately assisted. We were taken directly into the treatment area, where I was able to stay right beside my fur baby. They checked her vital signs, made sure I knew where the restroom was, and even showed me the complimentary snacks and beverages. We didn't have to wait long before Dr. Russell came over, listened carefully as I explained why we were there, and thoroughly evaluated Stella. He quickly identified what was causing her pain and explained everything clearly. Stella received pain medication by injection, and we were sent home with additional medication to keep her comfortable. When it was time for Stella's injection, my sweet girl became a little grouchy. The team handled her with such patience and compassion, moving us into a private room so they could safely care for her away from the open treatment area. That thoughtful accommodation meant so much to me. We arrived at approximately 5:30 a.m. and were home within one to two hours. The cost was absolutely worth it to know my baby had been properly evaluated, treated, and relieved of her pain. I would definitely return, although I sincerely hope we never need another emergency visit! Thank you, Dr. Russell, Nurse Shannon, and everyone at VEG Northern Liberties ER. You took wonderful care of my Stella, and I am eternally grateful.

Elisa far exceeded our…read morehopes in terms of being a personable, likable, conscientious, knowledgeable and skillful trainer. Our dog, Duke, adored her within moments, and in our six short sessions he learned much from her as did we. I often need to be told things many times before the training sinks in. Fortunately, Elisa's library of instructional materials and videos helped to reinforce the skills we learned during her visits. They were short and to the point, very useful, and she would send them within hours of each session.

We had a straight-to-the-point phone consultation the week prior to my appointment. Fast forward to the day of the training session. We met outside my apartment, with the intention of working on my dog to be calm with me leaving briefly in public. The vibe was off as soon as we made our polite but reserved introductions. Instead of listening to my gut, I proceeded with the one-hour training session, wanting to be proven wrong. Spoiler alert, my gut was right. The whole one-hour training session was tinged with an air of judgment and condescension. Curtis made little effort to inquire about behavior management choices and came across as having already made assumptions about me. I tried to volunteer information for context, and I all got was "interesting" or "okay" in a judgmental tone. We eventually moved into my apartment to work on some mental exercises with my dog and the vibe was still off. After a certain point, I felt disempowered from asking questions or speaking up because Curtis didn't really foster a collaborative training environment where I felt like a co-participant. I'd honestly like my money back for feeling this way in my own home. Overall, I would go to another trainer in the future.
