I have taken everything from puppies to blind dogs through cold nose. All of the trainers are very helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend cold nose to all of our adopters and a lot have gone and also had great experiences.

I have been taking my 6-month-old puppy to the Foundations Class at Sirius Strides and it has made…read morea world of difference for us in getting her off to a good start! The class has helped us build a trusting, communicative, positive bond with our pup from the beginning. She delights in doing well in her training and is growing into a well-behaved dog who brings joy to all and is a welcome wherever she goes. Dog training seems like something that should be intuitive but it's not! Learning the correct terms, body language, and verbal cues, and an effective pattern of repetition makes the process so much easier. And the social component of a group class is so helpful, too. If there's a new dog in your life - or one who could use some help with their manners - I recommend Sirius.

I have personally used the boarding for my whole crew over a holiday, and daycare numerous times and my dogs love it. I cannot recommend TPDT enough.

Our dog Maisy is a 4 year old Papillon. We looked into training because of her reactivity to other…read moredogs and we wanted to eventually be able to go on walks with her without her having a meltdown. With her age, we knew training would not be a perfect fix and we just wanted to get to a manageable spot. We found Turning Point Dog Training through a Google search and reached out. Within a day or two (I think it was same day), we got a response from Andrea, one of their dog trainers. Andrea was very accommodating with scheduling as my partner and I both work full time. When we first met with her - we immediately felt comfortable. One thing that I noticed and really appreciated right off is that we were not rushed through an appointment. Andrea took her time with us and we even ended up staying over time. She easily could have said "oh times up" or "I have another appointment". But this showed me that they would take time with our dog. We ended up selecting a 3 week board and train as that is what we felt fit out life best at the moment. Again - we went in with expectations that Maisy may never be perfect, but we wanted manageable. We met up with Andrea for her midway session and then again for a public outing at 3pm in a local park (I never thought I would take Maisy to a busy park with lots of dogs at 3pm), and we were absolutely blown away. It was a night and day difference! Maisy was walking near dogs and not having a full freak out and was able to remain calm. We did have to correct some minor behaviors - but she's still learning and so are we! Those behaviors we corrected though were nothing like anything she did in the past that felt unmanageable. We get Maisy back today from our 3 week board and train and we can't wait to see how it goes integrating what she has learned and what we have learned into our everyday life. I will post another review after a couple of weeks and/or months for an update. But so far, we have had such a great and meaningful experience! Other things we enjoyed: They send daily photo updates so you are never left without seeing your pup! They also have around the clock care and have eyes on your dog almost all the time if not all the time. Maisy was in such good hands.

We were recommended Val and the team at Sits n Wiggles after our girl Daisy was attacked by an…read moreoff-leash dog and started having issues with leash anxiety. My previously happy four year old dog was fearful of any dog that she saw or heard, which was a huge issue since we walk three or four miles a day. We met privately with Val and talked about what was going on with Daisy and what we wanted for her. After that, Val gave us homework. And there was a fair amount of homework, to be sure. We stuck with it, though, and our girl is back to enjoying her walks 99.9 percent of the time. Val was there every step of the way when we had questions or needed assistance. The training involved no corrections or anything like that. Sits n Wiggles only uses positive reinforcement, which is incredibly important to us. Additionally, they offer a ton of classes! Group classes! Classes that let your dogs sniff to their hearts content! Service dog training classes! Classes to help reactive dogs work through their issues! Val and her trainers are fantastic and its reassuring to know that there's a team out there that will work with your dogs without resorting to controversial and potentially damaging methods.

If it turns out your dog is not a good "fit", even though they don't do what they say they will do in their agreement, they still keep your money. We signed up for the $1200 4 week class and we were very unsatisfied and left after 2 days. They, the expert dog trainers that supposedly care so much about your dog, seriously suggested we medicate our dog so she would be more manageable for them!! To make matters worse they refused to refund our money. We offered $300 to put this horrible experience behind us. They took our $1200 in full and kept it for only two days work. They refused my calls and would not talk to me to resolve the problem. Do not trust these people with your pet or your money!

They used to be associated with Heights Canine, but recently split and rebranded. I cannot overstate how happy we have been with the training provided by David and the support of his staff. Our dog is very energetic, but she has also been very responsive to training and I feel like the best decision we made was to get her into training as soon as possible. The process of training the dog is as much a process of training us about how to train her and David was very patient and corrected us on our method as often as we corrected the dog. It's a mutual learning process and I am entirely satisfied with the results. An additional benefit of training with Miracle K9 is that they offer boarding and as of this writing Monday and Friday day care, but only to training clients. Our dog loves the day care and I'm so happy to know that she is around other dogs who have been through proper training. It's difficult to trust other people's dogs, but I am very comfortable dropping our dog off to socialize knowing that the staff know how to handle the dogs. Our dog is always excited to go to day care and comes home thoroughly exhausted. I'm looking forward to what the future holds for Miracle K9 Training.
