We have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, a 6 year old female (Copper) and a 4 year old male (Lincoln) that…read morewere in need of training. Lincoln had developed a barking issue and was wild on walks. In fact, I think it's safe to say the household was a bit out of control. This started when my husband left for a job abroad about 6 months beforehand. Upon deciding to join my husband in Saudi Arabia from California we concluded that I couldn't transport two wild dogs and that I needed to get the situation under control. I was lucky enough to find Bart to help. Bart has an incredible sense of animal behavior. In fact, within about 30 seconds of meeting our two dogs he nailed the issue (in a nut shell: older female, Copper, was a bully and younger male, Lincoln, was extremely insecure). I explained that I would be joining my husband in Saudi Arabia in less than 5 weeks. Bart took on the challenge and we began an intensive training program to rehabilitate our insecure male (and to show our female that she wasn't the boss anymore!). Training included trust building exercises in various settings including trips to the mall. This was good for exposing both dogs to new spaces and a diverse group of people. By the second session the dogs were going up and down the escalators and riding the elevator too. Bart also exposed our dogs to his very cool K9, Rox, and a few other German Shepards. We went from an initial meeting where my dogs went into a "red zone" of barking and growling to a final session of my dogs enjoying their time around other dogs. It was truly an amazing transformation! Bart was always punctual, responsive, and encouraging. You can tell he loves his job and is passionate about his work. I would wholeheartedly recommend his services. Bart, you did an exceptional job I cannot thank you enough!!!!!!!

Dr. Bart de Gols at Canine Evolutions understands dogs. Seriously. He is the total package and…read moreyou will not be disappointed if you bring your pup to him. Coming from the competitive dog sport world, and holding a degree in Cynology (the study of canines or domestic dogs), it seems Bart has been a passionate and lifelong student of the dog. Just google and see for yourself. Rather than "quick fixes", he dives deep to understand first and foremost, your dog. For example, understanding HOW your dog operates is fundamental to building a healthy relationship to him/her so that your dog does things WITH you (and not FOR you). This is the critical foundation which Bart builds upon in shaping the behavior of all the dogs he works with. It just makes sense. Since we brought our German Shepherd pup to him last year, we have watched his remarkable transformation around obedience to now protection work. And it hasn't just been him! I have learned so much through Bart's online resources, lectures, and important discussions. This has been so much fun. In summary, we have discovered in Bart, a rare combination of practical expertise, scientific understanding, and authentic compassion and advocacy for dogs. We cannot recommend him more!

I want to start by saying that I can't have kids and losing my dog was like losing a child. I…read moreunderstand that not everyone gets that but Diesel was much more than my dog, he was my best friend, my companion and my support animal. My parents considered him their grandson! To get to the point, dealing with Petland was incredibly insensitive as if they could care less. When they left a voicemail that he was ready for pick up, the lady finished the call with "what the fuck was that..." CLICK! I walked out of the "shop" with a blue plastic bag as if I had picked my dog up a bone or toy from the pet shop. The sincerity should be no different if you're picking up your family member vs. a precious family member (animal). I will never deal with Petland in the future and will be making a formal complaint with the owner!

When I did some research regarding the best pet food to feed my dogs, I decided on Orijen (a premium, grain free food) and was surprised to see that they carried it! I was figuring I'd have to go to Olympia, or farther, to find it, but nope....this cute little store right in my hometown carries it! Not only that, but they loaded me up with free samples to try. (They do have samples of several other types of food, so if you are trying out something new this is a great place to go.) I also get my cat's food here (Halo) and my dad has purchased baby chicks here as well. They carry tons of different things, for all types of pets. To top it off, their service is impeccable (they ALWAYS greet you when you come in, and carry your heavy bags of food out to your car for you) and they have a loyalty discount program that you can sign up for.

We are so, so happy with the drastic improvements in our baby pug's behavior after sessions with…read moreKristine!! We live in Baltimore, so we've only done virtual training with her, and in spite of the distance, it's almost like Kristine is here with us. Truly phenomenal. Her training style is evidence-based, compassionate, patient, positive, and most of all... FUN! We first sought Kristine's expertise after our 6-month old pug began regularly biting (and sometimes viciously attacking) our feet/shoes. Kristine did a thorough intake interview, and for the past four months, we've received new, tailored training plans each week. We record our training twice weekly, and Kristine sends us incredible feedback on how to hone our technique -- things I would have never caught on my own but make a world of difference! She's also been available to answer every question imaginable (related or unrelated, ha!). So far, she's helped us train our puggie to be less frustrated when she can't have what she wants and to become desensitized to various stressors (e.g., other dogs barking, sirens, beeping, motorcycles, birds... omg the list goes on). As a result, our pug no longer attacks or humps us and will settle when we're not paying attention to her. The investment has been worth it, times a ba-jillion. At first, the training may appear deceptively simple (e.g., tossing food on the ground) or maybe even a bit extreme (e.g., we eliminated walks for a bit). But stick with it!!! Kristine's methods are subtle but get to the root of your dog's triggers. You won't be treating the symptom but really rewiring your dogs brain -- I can't emphasize this enough. I've learned a ton from Kristine. As she's been training us to train our dog, she has encouraged us every step of the way. I'm so that we've had the opportunity to work with her.
