Since the kennel people mixed up our dogs names, they took the healthy dog instead of the sick dog to the veterinarian and it was euthanized. Meanwhile, the sick dog was not getting any care until the kennel realized their mistake and took the sick dog to an after hours veterinarian. We cut short our vacation to be with our dog. Thanks to the veterinarians who saved our remaining dog's life by treating her with fluids, antibiotics, and a drug to counteract the toxins in her system causing the bleeding. Heartbroken over the loss of our other, we will never use Luv'm Kennel again. Sign us sad in Lucerne Valley.

A few months ago I decided to board and train my dog Penny(3yrs old)to Gallardo's k-9 for a five…read moreweek basic obedience/on leash train and behavior modification. I was referred to Anthony by a couple of people and after reading his reviews I decided to hire Anthony. Through the process, Anthony kept in communication with me on Penny's progress. Five days prior to her training completion Anthony sent a message via text informing me that Penny possibly sprained her paw/ankle jumping off one of the obstacles courses he had her on. I was set back at first because agility training wasn't agreed upon or part of Penny's program. My understanding is that the obstacle courses are used for agility training which was not part of her 5 week course. He informed me that she was putting a little bit of pressure on it, but because she was not crying and still eating and drinking he believed it was a good sign. He advised me how the same thing happened to his dog and it was ok after a week and that was why he suspected it was just a sprain and didn't think she needed to go to the vet. As an experienced trainer I trusted his judgment because I was not physically there in person to see her behavior. Upon arriving to pick her up; as he brought her out she wasn't putting any pressure on her back right leg at all, only when he asked her to sit. Due to her injury Anthony thought it would be best if we did her last two hour sessions another day. He informed me that we would go over the training he completed with Penny once she got better. Upon leaving Anthony due to the injury and pain I can see on Penny's face I didn't feel right driving six hours back home without getting her examined so I decided to take her to a near by emergency vet. Penny was diagnosed with a dislocated hip and fracture. The vet informed me that if he had brought her in the day of the incident, they could have popped her hip back in. Given that time had passed they had to perform two procedures and now her recovery is to be crated/confined and heavily medicated with little to no activity for 8-12 weeks hoping the procedure is successful. After 8 weeks of recovery, the vet will examine her by X-ray to rule out having to perform a total hip replacement. When I updated Anthony on Penny's condition after her first vet visit, he responded.. "Poor penny I didn't think it would be her hip. I'm so sorry this happened I've never had a dog get hurt before" Afters Penny's procedure, I sent Anthony an update and informed him what was completed and what Penny had to go through. I also asked if he could possibly refund me for the training because in my mind I thought it was the right thing to do since it was only a fraction of the total costs of vet visits and her surgery. He never responded, called or text. This all happened within the week of picking up penny on May 27, 2023 and the last I heard from him was on June 13th. Penny's next appointment in August will determine if she needs a hip replacement. It has been almost two months since the first procedure and her behavior has worsened. She is now more anxious, timid and afraid of being left alone. The vet bills alone have already exceeded the price of training. Due to her pain and suffering she did not retain any of her training. The reason for my review is to warn others of the kind of trainer you will be working with. I would have at least expected a return call or text from Anthony. I never expected a full refund but I did expect him to be professional and at least offer a solution instead he turned his back and disregarded us. Definitely not a trainer I would recommend to anyone.

I was very worried how he would do. I chose this place based off of the warm and friendly communication initially, as well as the group atmosphere versus kennel boarding.

BEST DECISION FOR MY DOGS!!!…read more My two dogs are the Jack Russel and Golden Retriever. I did not know what I was getting into when I became a dog owner. Before I took them to Rhode's, my dogs pulled on a leash and made it very difficult to walk. They would get upset at each other at mealtime when I gave them food. I used to have to feed them in separate rooms. They also ran out the door into the street when I opened the front door, and they would not listen when I commanded them to sit or come when I call their name. After a month of obedience school training with Rhodes, my dogs are everything I hoped them to be!! My dogs walk on a leash with ME in control, they are nice to each other and eat food together, and they also listen to me!!!! I tell them to sit, they sit!! I call their name, they come to me on command!! They get along with other dogs!! I can confidently take them to the dog park now! They also do not bark excessively like they used to! My neighbors are happy!!! You will not be disappointed with a bit of dog obedience training through Rhodes. I recommend 100%
