A Life-Changing Experience with McWreath Dog Training!…read more I can't say enough good things about Chelsea, the founder and owner of McWreath Dog Training! When Loki and I first came to Chelsea, we were both an anxious mess--me, not knowing how to help my pup, and Loki, struggling with walks, car rides, and the everyday stresses of life. Fast forward to now, and the transformation is nothing short of incredible: ‍ Loki walks more calmly by my side. He's confident enough to enjoy the local dog park and make new friends! Long car trips? No problem! Everyday errands around town? A breeze. Chelsea didn't just train Loki; she trained us as a team. Her patience, expertise, and genuine care for both dogs and their owners made all the difference. Loki is happier, more relaxed, and thriving in ways I never thought possible. Loki even used their Boarding facilities when we took a trip to Europe for 10 days. He had tons of fun meeting and playing with all the other pups there, in a structured setting and fully supervised. (with videos and photos too) If you're feeling overwhelmed with your dog's behavior, I wholeheartedly recommend McWreath Dog Training. Chelsea has truly given us the tools and confidence to enjoy life together to the fullest! Thank you, Chelsea, for changing our lives! Loki and I are forever grateful.

Im NOT kidding! Now to mention the massive matted knot in his hair behind his ear that the groomer had a hard time getting it shaved off. Angry, oh yeah! Then I found a scab with matted hair on his neck around his jugular vein! She said it must be an old scab...ah NO! Now it's a trip to the vet. All I got from Lyn was the e-collar has to be tight and basically if I dont follow through with that, it's on me. After the massive hair knot (rough collie long hair), Im not putting him thru that.

PetSmart is a national retail-store chain that sells products for cats, dogs, fish, birds,…read morereptiles, and other pets. Products include foods, treats, medications, accessories, pet furniture, etc. Furthermore, PetSmart offers services such as a veterinarian, dog-training, and dog and cat grooming. I shopped in this particular PetSmart in Washington, PA. This store offered many but not all of the name brands that my cats like. Compared to the competitor Chewy's prices, this store's prices were similar to higher. I purchased several flavors of cat foods. At the checkout counter, the cashier performed their job well. Furthermore, on this particular day, a local animal shelter was holding a dog-adoption event. We did not see any dogs to adopt, but we appreciated the event.

I have met the Dog Whisperer…read more In January, 2021, my wife and I picked up our 8-week old Labradoodle from the breeder and named her Maggie Mae. After an extensive search we decided to use Paw & Order as a trainer. We contacted their Pittsburgh office and because of our location, they recommended their new Washington, PA operation owned by Christie Kelly. We met with Christie and were pleased with her experience, personality and explanation of her training procedures. We agreed on the In-Home program and training began in April, 2021. Leading up to the training, Maggie was a bursting with energy, difficult to control, fundamentally WILD puppy. Once the training began, we felt that we had a different dog. Christie's ability to adapt her training methods to our puppy's personality was remarkable to experience. After each lesson, like heel, place, sit, stay and so on, Christie would give us a print out of the follow up exercises that we needed to reinforce the lesson. When we had a setback, Christie was quick to identify the cause and gave us a constructive solution to correct the problem. We would text, email or call Christie with a question or issue and, it didn't matter whether it was a weekend, evening or holiday, she responded. Over the weeks of training, she would call, unsolicited, to check in on how our training was progressing. Christie's knowledge and understanding of a dog's unique needs, whether shy, aggressive, hyperactive, or whatever, is remarkable. Add to that, her love and care for each of the dogs she has in the training program, and you have someone very special taking care of your most cherished pet. Maggie is now over a year old and a wonderful, loving, well mannered companion. She is responsive to "almost" every command...still working on greeting visitors to our home occasionally. She is an amazing addition to our lives and I attribute it all to Christie Kelly and Paw & Order. She truly is a dog whisper! As a side note, we have had 2 dogs prior to Maggie. I always felt that we could train our dog and that professional trainers were too expensive. Wow, was I wrong. What I never realized that, yes, the investment is a lot, but when you think of that investment over the 10 or 15 years of your pet's life, well, it isn't all that much for a well behaved, disciplined, and happy pet. Christie, thank you so very much!!! Oh, and Maggie thanks you too!!!

Elissa is so kind, patient and very supportive. Honestly, all their trainers are so passionate about dogs, they care about them so much and advocate for the dog's success, they will all help you to become a better and responsible dog parent. I LOVE that they help me strengthen the bond with my beloved one and there for me all the way through (super responsive!) My pup came home more confident, focus and happy. He is now a proud CGC pup, were able to enjoy our outings safely together and have a great start to discover all the adventures life throws our way. The best part is that we will have their support for life, join the community and learn about more training to bond our relationship in a healthy way. The upsetting part was that I wished I had known and started with them and not waste my money on other trainings prior! I'm definitely coming back here when I get my second dog. It's SO worth it.

I had a horrific experience with a woman named Nancy when seeking help for my dog. My dog is a senior and has a host of medical issues including canine cognitive dysfunction (doggie dementia), difficulty eating and drinking (due to her dementia), and anxiety and depression, just to name a few of the things she struggles with. Our vet thinks she may have a brain tumor that is making her symptoms worse and she needs an MRI to confirm that but unfortunately I can't afford it. Putting my dog to sleep has come up in conversation but she's only 7 and there are medications for canine dementia and tests (like an MRI) that could possibly help her get better that we haven't tried yet because of my poor financial situation. I don't believe I should stop fighting for my dog or euthanize her just because I have run out of funds and dont have the means to be her primary caretaker anymore. I've been looking for places that specialize in senior dog care, care for animals with disabilities, and care for animals in a vulnerable time in their life. All of this was shared in my inquiry about possibly getting help, along with that my dog means everything to me. I assume most people reading this are animal lovers and have or had a pet that is precious to them and want the best for. No one should be attacked for wanting the best for their animal and people should know thats what happens at AR. On Angel Ridge's About page it says their mission is "To provide a permanent home and care for animals that are abandoned, aged, or handicapped with the ultimate goal of re-homing them. Animals who are not re-homed may live out their lives at Angel Ridge." It goes on to say animals should be recognized as "essential and beloved companions" and further states animals are "assessed by dedicated volunteers and staff for veterinary and behavioral needs." I wrongfully thought this place could be an option to help my dog as she's a senior, special needs and would benefit from medical help. I thought this because they specifically stated they specialized in caring for those types of animals AND provided medical care for them. I was told by Nancy that my dog "has been given many opportunities to become a somewhat normal dog" ...as if its my dogs fault for being sick! This was an insane unhinged judgment to make. With 0 compassion she said my dog cannot be fixed and that she is not at peace. I would've loved to know Angel Ridge's philosophy was actually that "some dogs can't be fixed" and to blame the animal for not being "somewhat normal". I wouldn't have even bothered in the first place. I was then viscously told "You knew what needs to happen-Just looking for someone else to blame-You needed the response that I gave". No remorse, no acknowledgment of how disgusting and nasty she had been to me, just stood behind her disturbing behavior and treatment of me (a person who reached out seeking help for her dog based on misleading lies written on the website). Not sure who I'm trying to blame either. I'm looking for help and a higher level of care for my sweet dog and made that crystal clear. This person is sick and unstable and shouldn't work at a place that cares for elderly, sick, abused, and overall vulnerable animals if the first thought that crosses her mind when someone reaches out for help is that it's the animals fault for being sick, elderly, abused, etc. and they've 'had their chance to prove to be normal' implying they should be euthanized if they can't do that. Egregious. she could've simply said they couldn't take my dog instead of harassing me for searching for help. I fear for people and animals that cross paths with this woman and hope this can be used as a warning for others to STAY AWAY and not make the mistake I did by reaching out in the first place. For a place that claims all animals should be recognized as essential and beloved, I'll tell you one thing, having bitter employees/volunteers like this woman, is not getting that message across.

I have found Angel Ridge to be sincere in their efforts to save, rescue, and provide posititive futures for some of the most abused, unwanted, injured and mistreated animals. At times when I didnt see a positive outcome, the volunteers stay committed to showing love and compassion to the rescues~ most often resulting in a huge break thru, and eventually placement in a loving home~ a home ready and willing to continue the work of helping their new fur baby learn to love and trust humans. It's humans that have let the animals down, and it's Angel Ridge volunteers that repair that damage. I am proud to be a vounteer for Angel Ridge Animal Rescue and plan to continue here. Please check it out for yourself, you will see the compassion and commitment also.

I had to bring my cat to Banfeild for blood sugar testing all day to get her diagnosed and treated…read more She was diagnosed with diabeties. The vet recommended Bexacat and fabricated the benefits stating that it's clinically proven to protect kidneys. This is somewhat true for human kidneys but not for cats. I was skeptical but agreed simply because insulin shots have been known to kill or send cats to the emergency room. I had to bring her in each week for a month to test for keytones which cost close to $100 a visit. Her blood keytones were always low well within range, but Bexacat dehydrated my cat. I voiced my concerns, but I was encouraged to keep her on the medication. The vet never suggested fluid treatments which would have helped her. I insisted taking her off Bexacat when it became obvious she had chronic kidney disease that progressed. I was told no one had ever taken a cat off Bexacat with good diabeties control, and it would be very expensive to switch to insulin because she would gave to come in frequently to get an insulin curve. You could buy a glucose monitor and meters to test for blood sugar and keytones at home. There is less stress to the cat making the results more accurate. The managers should be awere that clients can easily obtain information about drugs and treatment online. My elderly cat was never offered a wellness plan. This place seems to be all about making money and should be investigated for possibly getting kick backs from drug manufacturers which is against the law.
