We had a negative experience at another boarding place in our city so we were hesitant, asked a gazillion questions, and requested a tour prior to leaving them....this place is AMAZING. No cages here! They had their own mini room together, we brought in their dog beds to have a good smell from home while they stayed. There are SEVERAL play areas inside and out with play equipment, there's area for both small and large dogs to keep them segregated if needed. They also offer individual play time if you dogs doesn't play nice with others. There are 2 pools (indoor and outdoor) which my dogs didn't get to use, but I hope they will next time. It's staffed by a bunch of young, kind, energetic animal lovers. We felt completely at ease leaving our pups there and will definitely do it again. The only thing I wish was different was I had hoped there was a live steam or a photo blog of that days guests so we could peek in on our pups while we were gone. No biggie that they didn't have this, it would have just been icing on the cake.

They do not care for the animals! They are not staffed during most business hours. You can only…read morepick up your pet at certain hours during the day. Our dog stayed there recently and best we can tell she was not let out to potty and we had to wait almost an hour for someone to show up in order to pick he up. There were 2 other pet parents waiting also and the person that showed up had no clue, was only there to feed the boarders.

If you read most but not all the other reviews, they are written by people who had not even seen the dogs improvement and were like me hopeful for results. Yes Mr. Dove is enthusiastic and very good at convincing you otherwise. However his many yrs in business-FALSE maybe working with friends dogs but has less then 1 yr as a NE registered business. He claims to be BBB accredited-FALSE Not only not accredited he has to unresolved complaints soon to be 3. They will spend all these hours working with your dog-FALSE They spent 2 hrs a day. After receiving a log the first day via text messages of services times. And the kennel is almost to Lincoln so someone isn't even available at all times to address issues as they arose. They claim they will work with you an integrate dog back into home. FALSE-My dog was dropped of by another trainer and when questioned about training she was supposed to receive in regards to destructive chewing, barking, digging etc. she said how she knew nothing about that she worked with her on sit and a stay. But she couldn't even demonstrate my dog had learned that. Not one behavior was improved within the first hr she demonstrated them all on video. Except barking not sure if she barked so much at the kennel or if something else happened to her but she could barely get out a bark. Although she wanted to. She now tries to bite if your work with her on commands and everyone will tell you she was the most cuddly dog before, (employees even made that comment and how loveable she was) As you can see my list can go on and on. My concerns with training were fully expressed before hand and he said if he felt he couldn't make changes with her he would call 2-3 days in and send her back so I didn't waste my money. They gave me false reassurance that I wouldn't be out $1600.

ZERO STARS I would like to share my experience that i had…read morewith Dove's dog academy. Specifically Willie Dove (owner).I first contacted Willie Oct 12. about service dog training classes for my pup. We had the initial meet & greet and everything seemed to go well. I signed the contract and paid the outrageous amount of $1600. for the 4 week "couch potato" program. At first, Willie appears to be very well spoken & knowledgeable but don't let that fool you. It's all fake. He is the most unprofessional, & unorganized person I've ever had to deal with. When we initially met he had asked me to fill out this questionaire form before we started the program and when I told him I didn't have access to a printer right away he told me he would print it out and bring it to me. He never did. Then he said he would mail it to me. He never did. So now the trust is broken. Our very 1st session was supposed to be Oct. 26 at 9 am. By 9:15 when he hasn't showed I texted him and said you were supposed to be here at 9 and he says oh I'm sorry I thought I had you scheduled for 11. Well that was my turning point. I told him I wanted to cancel my contract & to please refund my money. Well he tried to come up with reasons & explanations to stay on including that his daughter was in the ER the night before with covid- but I had seen enough- I was done. He tried to tell me that there would be no refund once service started but I had to tell him no service has started. Then he told me I was only eligible for 1/2 my money back. Wow! ... so I fired him due to his incompetence & now I feel robbed of $800. As much as I didn't want him to keep that money I signed a contract so that's on me. Fine! Take the $800 and send me my refund. People, it took him until today Jan 18th to FINALLY get my refund and that's after I had to threaten to sue him and take him to small claims court!! He played word games with me and told me he mailed the check- the check was returned, blah blah blah- any excuse he could give to procrastinate and evade paying me back! This company is a FRAUD! He's a FRAUD!! I think he doesn't even own dogs!! His main job is at Forest Lawn cemetery!! If you are looking for a experienced, knowledgeable, & trustworthy company for dog training I HIGHLY recommend United Paws. https://unitedpawsdogtraining.com/ I can't begin to tell you the hell and agony it took to get my refund. In the end, after threatening to sue him, he finally sent my refund through a cash app program and it took him all of 3 seconds to send it. I don't normally write reviews but I don't want anyone else who love their pups to go through this!! TURN AROUND & RUN!!

They always comment on my dogs. My last visit, I added a shampoo and brush out. They added an extra 5 dollar charge on my Aussi-corgi (Auggie). The groomer said she was heavily matted! I did bit know my dog was matted, because she looked fine! She explained that double coated dogs coats can "lay down" on the skin and create a layer of fur. This dog has had heat stroke issues for a few years now. After this grooming, and the removal of all the undercoat, she is cooling off properly! The groomer knows her stuff! Thank you! The boarding rates are the best in town. But with all the add one such as day play and walks, they are the same rates as everyone. Fair enough! My dogs love this place, and so do I.

I took obedience I at GLOC and really enjoyed the trainer and the course; my dog and I had fun and…read morethe trainer was very positive and encouraging. However, last night, I attended my first obedience II class. The trainer told me in front of the class that my appearance was "sloppy" (not sure why she felt the need to comment on my appearance - I was wearing a t-shirt, leggings, and sandals) and it was very clear that she did not think my dog was good enough to be in her class. I didn't learn any vocabulary in the obedience I course, and when she kept using technical terms, I didn't understand her, which earned me disapproving looks. She referenced that our dogs would be ready for competition at the end of the course, but in the course description, the intent of the class was to play bonding games and further the skills learned in obedience I , not to prepare for competition. Had I known this, I would not have signed up for this course. I am not going back and they are not issuing me a refund, despite the attitude I received from the trainer.

She asked for my children to be present and ready to learn, but also asked to have a back up plan (baby sitter) because kids can be "needy". Instead they were on their electronics the whole time in their room while my husband and I spent 2 hours listening to her talk our ears off. We had to reschedule a 4 o'clock appointment because of her family matter, which I understand. She had us rescheduled for a 6 o'clock appointment. I explained to her that late in evenings are hard for me, and earlier would be better. I had a brain aneurysm and i struggled mentally when I am tired. She wasn't flexible The only reason I am giving 2 stars, is because she did give us a few helpful tricks that could have taken 10 minutes vs. 2 hours. She should have included my kids.

We…read morebrought an F1 Sheepadoodle puppy into our home with no experience or knowledge, about how to do so successfully. My husband found Linda and her In Relation with Dogs website, and immediately I was grateful. Her website describes perfectly her attitude and approach to animal behavior and the importance of building a relationship between you and your pet. Linda's Puppy Training introduced us to this basic shift and approach to animal behavior, and the role of a pet in the family. Through private lessons at our home, Linda was able to educate, model, and practice training skills with each person in our family. She was able to observe our different levels of understanding and styles, our interactions with our puppy, Otis, and see the environment in which we live. She respectfully and supportively instructed us in specific moments of interaction and became a valuable resource for our entire family. Linda has years of experience and education, and shares her knowledge in a respectful and considerate way. Linda has accompanied us on a training journey that continues to evolve. We now have plans for Otis. We think about his needs, and consider him, completely differently than we had before working with Linda. We continue to learn, and Linda continues to be available with a genuine interest and love for what she does. In Relation with Dogs is much more that a puppy or dog training course. It is an opportunity to consider a new approach animal (and human) behavior. Linda inspires us to develop positive relationships, establish new habits or modify behavior patterns, and consider that positively reinforcing behavior, certainly doesn't just apply to dogs.
