    Had an amazing experience with Mark! The progress my dog has made with him is amazing and in short…read moreperiod of time! I use to struggle to take him on walks or go to an outdoor restaurant without him barking, whining, and getting overwhelmed. Now he sits under me and watches calmly. I also feel like my dog trust me so much more because Mark taught me the importance of advocating for him and how to. He has an extensive knowledge on dogs and does an amazing job of teaching you about your dog and their behavior. Would 1000% recommend!

    I hesitated to write this for nearly a year because I believe Cheryl is passionate about what she…read moredoes, however, her training was not a good fit for us, and we did not see results, despite spending $1700. For what it's worth, she's respectful, prompt, and brought her own dog to a few sessions to help my puppy with anxiety. She also has a good game for place training, and when I switched away from her methods this was the only thing we kept doing. This review will be long, but this is the main takeaway. I'd caution anyone from considering this "balanced training". It is not. The primary goal is conditioning a prong collar correction to a verbal "No!". It is purely punitive, not balanced. It's no different (& arguably worse) than the traditional 'crank & yank' style described in her book, just dressed up nicer. I'd advise future customers to use *EXTREME* caution if considering using an e-collar with Raise the Bar. An e-collar is NOT a punishment tool that you can slap on and hammer a dog with. For any behavior. Increasing punishment without clarifying the alternative desired behavior creates conflict. It's bad for the owner-dog relationship. Despite this, when unclear prong collar corrections didn't work, escalating to the e-collar was suggested at every single session. When I had concerns about shut down dogs/frustration, or feeling uncomfortable with the w/the level of corrections, I was met with contempt and told that based on 30yr of experience, this is just how it's done. Years of experience don't equal best practice. 1. Prong collar- it needs to be properly fitted. A loose prong (recommended by Cheryl) delivers inconsistent corrections and takes away the physics of the collars design, so you're no longer protecting the trachea or distributing pressure evenly. She recommended increasing the gauge of prong when corrections weren't working. I tried to discuss that this would require more force to deliver a similar correction, but shut down and told a 2.25 is a "puppy collar". In reality it delivers a higher level correction or "bite" with less leash pop. Most dogs should not be using a 4mm prong, especially loose, bc it's virtually ineffective. 2. Balanced training uses all quadrants of operant conditioning. Raise the Bar is almost entirely punishment based. Praise is not positive reinforcement. You can't be balanced and anti-treat/reward. When you hire a private trainer, you're paying for someone to train you, not your dog, and when asked 'why' she does things, she's not able to articulate it well. 3. Leash pressure- she couldnt get 1 of my dogs on the placeboard and gave up when he put the brakes on and reared back on the leash. She couldn't see that he just didn't understand leash pressure (which I've now taught him). He needed to be encouraged to go on in a way he understood. Next visit when he was on it she asked how, & I told her I was able to get him on in minutes with treats and free shaping, she was disappointed I had used food despite her method being ineffective. 4. **E-COLLAR**- please do NOT let Cheryl put an e-collar on your dog. I am SO glad I was enrolled in an e-collar course before she started suggesting it. She lacks fundamental knowledge of modern day e-collar use, likely bc it relies on foundations she doesn't use (ie a positive marker word & reward, low-level stim overlayed on well known commands via neg reinforcement, working under threshold). For crate anxiety she suggested putting an e-collar on my fearful puppy, & stimming at high levels until quiet, also suggested dropping a heavy textbook on the crate. Frankly this is abhorrent training. My dogs are now all e-collar trained and it's rarely ever necessary to use at aversive levels , esp not paired with "No" to induce handler fear and certainly not on a fearful/reactive dog. I could go on, because I don't think this is individualized training, but will digress. This training is conflict & punishment based & we did not reach any goals with her methods. I am pro-balanced, but this is compulsion. I'd suggest she expand her knowledge because her current methods have the potential to do serious harm. My relationship with my dogs was never worse than when we trained with Raise the Bar. The best thing about this experience, was that it lit a fire in me to learn to train dogs myself. They're now off leash heeling, hiking, no more reactivity, even went on a trip with us. Our results speak for themselves. I'll leave it there.

    Blue Dog K9 Care literally saved the day for me. My usual dog sitter was unable to look after my…read moreBoxer/Pit mix for my weekend trip, so I had to really scramble for other options. Bobby, the owner, was able to take him in on such short notice and was willing to accommodate my hectic schedule for drop-off. As soon as we arrived, I could already tell my Bruno (who doesn't trust new people right away) was feeling right at home. I loved being able to get updates on how he was getting along with other dogs and even getting to see some videos of him playing. A major bonus was the fact that they offer grooming services since I had been struggling to find a groomer that would be willing to work with him. I am so happy with the service I received and will definitely be back!

    I dealt with Bobby last year and had a positive experience, but he has dramatically changed his…read moreattitude and his policies. He now insists upon CASH ONLY, PAY UP FRONT. I would NEVER pay up front for this type of service; there are so many risks involved with leaving your pet in the care of another. I'm not sure why he'd require cash only unless he's attempting to avoid paying taxes. Whatever the reason, I find it extremely unprofessional. Also, drop off and pick up times have become very limited, which seems rather odd to me, since he touts that he's around 24/7 with your pet. Don't bother asking Bobby why his policies have changed. Bobby has a terrible attitude, as is mentioned in a number of other reviews. I suppose he'll do just fine without my business, but I would recommend that you direct your business elsewhere as well.

    We booked a stay for our two kittens a week before drop off. We were approved for the stay a day…read morelater. All documents were submitted. We were called less than 24hrs before the stay to let us know our 10wk old kitten wouldn't be able to stay due to not having a rabies shot. Our vet doesn't give them til 12-16 weeks. While we 100% appreciate and respect their rules - our issue is with letting us know less than 24 hours before their drop off. That was unprofessional to say the least- especially when we got an email that said the stay was approved earlier in the week. After some last minute scrambling, a friend was able to watch them for us- which ultimately saved us the $500+. Hopefully better business practices for other clients will come from this- so they don't leave someone else in a last minute panic.

    GO TO RED DOG--I DO NOT RECOMMEND PET PALACE, DUE TO POOR COMMUNICATION ( I was told my Taylin…read more(manger) that my dog had a little blood in urine twice (two separate stays and vet determined my dog was fine) via email and Taylin said it was normal). Every time I called, they said my dog was fine and then conveniently when I go to the hospital, you tell my mom my dog who has boarded multiple times can't board and medical boarding might be better. I call, when I'm in the hospital and Taylin says well maybe "short stays" would be best... so which is it?! Because me being in the hospital this week would've been a short stay. Then I asked about my booked upcoming stay and I'm thinking when the hell was Taylin going to tell me they had concerns (again, as pet parent I have NO emails that say they were considering they she couldn't come back). So no email trail. When I brought up the upcoming stay, Taylin said "well, I'm still thinking about it." WTF the boarding is literally next week. Who the heck does that, you're not making sense ...you said she might be better for shorter stays, but saying you'll consider a longer stay still, but told my mom no for a shorter stay ( At least get your story straight cuz you're obviously being fake and full of it) . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RED DOG PET RESORT, I cried all day trying to get help to find somewhere for my dog while I was in the hospital and RED DOG HAD NO ISSUES! SO PET PALACE'S MANAGEMENT HAS NO BACKBONE, NEVER COMMUNICATED ANY CONCERNS TO ME AND JUST SIMPLY DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE OF MY DOG AND DEAL MY DISABILITY. NEVER expected this from Taylin, but we will definitely miss Mariah and her groomer Carla. In the future, if you're on management please have a backbone and have conversations with the parent of the pet. That's like kicking a child out of daycare when the school principal has had no meetings/written communication with a parent about any concerns, you guys are a joke. Taylin answered and after being with pet palace for so long I'm being told there were conversations being had, WITHOUT ME, the owner about whether my dog should be there. I'm so disappointed because I keep them up to date on the vet and they're trying to blame her age, she can't help she's aging and her conditions are stable. If you don't want to board my dog any longer have the balls and courtesy to say that.. don't make excuses when my dog loves it there and we keep you updated on my dog's health. To be honest, I just feel like they just don't want to deal with MY DISABILITY and it's being taken out on my dog... none of her notes say there were issues so please explain how all of a sudden it's a HUGE MEDICAL issue.. if you're always telling me she's fine just obviously has arthritis (which young dogs get too) and blood in urine a couple times... which Taylin said is normal for boarded dogs and my vet LITERALLY tested Raven and wasn't concerned. I don't know why Natalie is a part of any decision making without me knowing, because she's too afraid to even talk to me when I'm there... so why is someone who's scared to have an adult conversation with me having conversations about my dog. Managers should be direct, resolution focused and not afraid to talk to people and have conversations.
