This is definitely not someone I would trust to provide reliable information about pet ownership and training!

I wish I could go back and choose differently…read more We enrolled our rescue dog in the board and train program in 2024. He came from the shelter with clear signs of separation anxiety, hypervigilance, and what looked like the emotional scars of past abuse. We truly wanted to help him adjust and feel safe, so we trusted this program to set him on the right path. But looking back, I regret it. My first red flag came during a visit when I noticed a bite wound on his foreleg. I was told he'd been placed in a pen with one of the trainer's personal dogs--who attacked him. My dog had always been social and dog-friendly, so this felt like an avoidable situation. She was treating the wound, but I left feeling uneasy. Then came the Fourth of July. I got a message saying we could pick him up early--a full week early--because she was heading out of town. She said someone would be there to feed him, but he wouldn't be training anymore. That alone was disappointing, but we figured if he was "ready," we'd make the most of it. When we picked him up, he was only responding to commands about 75% of the time. I assumed he was just overstimulated from seeing us again. But over the next few days, things got worse. Despite carefully following the training notes we were given, our dog regressed significantly. He became more anxious, more reactive, and less responsive than before the program. Now, over a year later, he still reliably responds only to "sit"--which I taught him. "Lay down" works about half the time. Every other command? Gone. Later, when I shared my experience with others in the community, I learned I wasn't alone. Two separate people knew exactly which dog had bitten mine before I even said the name. One had a similar experience with that same dog; the other knew someone who had. That told me everything I needed to know. We paid $2,500, and in the end, my dog came home more anxious and less trusting of other dogs. I wish I could say otherwise, but I wouldn't recommend this program. On paper, it looks great. In practice, the local community seems to know better. I only wish I'd asked around before enrolling. Please do your research, and trust your gut.

Puppy Lovers/Buyers Beware!…read more I came across this website after my English Springer Spaniel of 15 years passed away. I spoke with the breeder, Kristi Hughes, at length about her puppies and my situation. She didn't have puppies yet, but was soon expecting. After researching, she was indeed the most expensive breeder, but I felt that I trusted her. I specifically wanted a liver and white female tricolor. She gave me full assurance that her dogs always had lots of tricolors since both the parents were tri-colored/rhone. I agreed to paypal her a $600 deposit in January 2014. I was paying to get the "First Pick." These were the terms that we came up with, and she agreed to: - $1,200 ($600 now, and $600 at 4 weeks) - I will get to choose and have first pick up until the puppies are 4 weeks old - If someone offers $1,500 for first pick, I will match it with some sort of proof (I really do trust you, but hoping that I will stay at $1,200 since I may have to pay up to $500 for shipping -Shipping will include a free used kennel (I will purchase a nice one that will be ready for her once she arrives) -There will be lots of interaction between birth and 4 weeks between you and me to help in the decision process -If a puppy is not chosen by me during this litter, these terms will roll over to the another litter The first puppies were supposed to be born in March, 2014. This one ended up being a "false pregnancy". The next litter was supposed to be around April 5th. I contacted her on the 5th, and she texted me that the dog had miscarried. I asked when the dog had miscarried, and she said it had been just over two weeks prior. I texted her that I wanted my money back, and she called me then. She went through many different reasons why she thought the dog miscarried: her horse died the night before due to a storm, one of the dogs got it's eye kicked out, and they thought it was dead, but it wasn't, her daughter had just moved away, and the dog miscarried and ate it's babies which made her sick. She said she would take pictures if I didn't believe her. She agreed to give me my money back, and acted very understanding. However , she explained to me that she had already spent the $600 deposit I had given her. She said she wouldn't have my $600 until she sold a puppy in three weeks. I agreed that I could wait. As a professional breeder, I couldn't understand how she would co-mingle the dog deposit funds with her own personal finances. She asked me to send her my info so she could mail it (how she didn't have my info at this point was beyond me). Then she emailed me a few days later saying the deposit was non-refundable, and that it goes toward the "care of the dogs". She said I could also roll it over to another litter. Weeks later, her dog (one that had not even previously been on her website) had puppies, and she didn't even make me aware of that. Several times since, she has agreed to send me back my money, but never does. This has been a heart breaking experience for me since I was so ready to get a new puppy. I put my trust into this breeder, and she turned out to be a huge fraud! I noticed on her Facebook page that she also sells body wraps to lose weight. She promotes the company and asks others to join her to make $$$ (which is plastered all over her site). She also had pictures of herself on this page after she explained and cried to me that the dog had miscarried. She looked fine and happy, and it was only a day or two within the time she told me all of the "tragedy" she was going through. She recently texted me about her horse, and said I had "no compassion for her horse that got hit by a semi". She had previously told me a fence fell on it in a storm. Lies! Since this situation, I have looked into other breeders, and there are much better ones out there. Please don't get stuck in a situation where you are only looking to get a great dog, and you get screwed over by this woman.
