Unfortunately the last experience that I had with them, changed my mind. My baby began experiencing concerning symptoms over the weekend of 7/18 and 7/19. Since they were her established vet, they had her history and knew how her behavior was, I called first thing when they opened at 9am on 7/20. When I finally got through a young woman answered and I let her know that my dog is seen there and I was concerned about her. I inquired when their soonest availability was and without even asking her symptoms, I was told their next availability was Friday. I said okay, thank you and the woman hung up without a goodbye or nothing. Fortunately I was able to get her into Mission Veterinary Clinic that same day and they moved up her appointment after learning her symptoms because they were concerned about her. Ultimately we were referred to Roadrunner Veterinary Services as a critical care overnight stay. Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to my baby on July 23. I liked Good Shepherd up until that moment. I received more compassion and support from two different vets that I have never been to than from an established vet I had been going to for years. Dr. Skains is a great vet but the front desk staff needs more training.

I love that her techniques require patience and not the use of choke chains and harsh techniques used by other trainers in the past. She's had to work on the people working with the dog, aka us. It took awhile to get an appointment with her. She spent above and beyond the time we were charged for, because we needed it. She has a true gift for working with dogs and the people that come with them. Looking forward to working with her more in the future.

I call Thursday and got an appt for the following wednesday. For 4 days I had to keep one dog inside and the other caged outside with 4 kids in our home. Not an easy task keeping a 3, 4, 6 and 9 year old to keep all doors closed to the house. Our appt was at 10am. She calls at 9:50am and I answer however there was no answer, phone issues. She calls right back 9:51am.. I answer same thing. I walk outside to call back 2 minutes later with no response so leave a message. 45 minutes later I get a call back saying Oh I couldnt reach you for directions so I turned around... Ummm I called you right back, even left a message. And you didn't try calling again the entire 40 minute drive back to Corona?? She says she had a Car phone (sorry do those still exist??) And would have to check the messages on there but had to come back to the office (the office that is 45 minutes away) to call me again.. Ummm how about calling back in 5 minutes if you really couldn't find my address? Seeing as there was a connection issue.. Not like I didn't answer the phone. NOW I have taken the day off work, have the kids home waiting around and she is NO SHOW! She said she now didnt have time to come back for our session. WOW I am appalled. I REALLY needed help with this and hope I can keep them apart until I find some responsible and professional enough to SHOW UP to their appt! FURIOUS

I just could not get my stubborn 5 pounds Yorkie to lay down, so I decided to seek some one-on-one private training with Donna. Within 10 minutes meeting with Donna, my Yorkie did "down".

We even joined Paws of Love Pathway to Hope Therapy Dog group to start volunteering within our local community. I am SO thankful that we have found Donna. I highly recommend Donna over any PetSmart and PetCo dog trainers any day. If you want your dog to be a good dog, Donna is the person to see.

The dog breeds they have are not aggressive breeds, though you can bring your dog/puppy in for formal training. There were a handful of fluffy lab puppies the week my children attended.

During the workshop portion, I enjoyed her informative & interactive teaching style as well as the intimate group (8 people) setting. She presented the core info but incorporated the needs of the group of attendees as well. Being able to participate in the summer camp that she put on was an extra special treat. Most of the attendees had already been trained to work with the dogs and they were eager to help anyone who needed it. Since Winston was a newbie the campers seemed to enjoy the challenge of teaching him new tricks. I was impressed with Melissa's ability to create a safe and fun place for the animals and the campers to enjoy each other and how organized she was. Melissa personally took the time to work on one with me and was very generous with her vast experience/knowledge of handling, dog behavior and incorporating all of that into therapy. I'm so glad I went!

Additionally, he felt the need to 'protect' me from intruders and barks constantly when I have guests over and even when the sit down, once they stand back up or make any sudden movements, Lobo goes back into his barking frenzy. I felt it was imperative for me to seek help with this behavioral issues. The vet recommended I look into Bark Busters and I'm so glad I did. James Landers came to my house right on-time and within a couple of hours my dog was put on track to recovery. I have homework to do, but I feel extremely confident, based on the progress he has already made, that as I continue his training his problems will be a thing of the past. I also really like their lifetime guarantee and feel confident that I could always call with questions should any issues arise. I highly recommend you call and talk to James about the problems you may be facing with your dog. You'll be glad you did.
