Because of how concerned we were, we asked for confirmation by text of when he would be returning our dog in case there were any issues. His response only added to our concerns.

Thanks to Mark's patience, compassion, and understanding, she has completely transformed.

Everything about her training made sense, from start to finish, as she explained (and re-explained, if necessary). She bonded with our Bentley, he came to respect what she was teaching and he was willing to please and obey when she was with him. Dawn gave us homework each week, with handouts as reminders, and did a recap at the beginning of the following week. After training hours, she even sent us a video of her demonstrating the process with her own dog once when we couldn't quite get a certain technique. We didn't always do our homework 100%, but Dawn was able to move forward and teach Bentley the next lessons. We have a lot to learn still and it is a daily learning process for both dog and owner, but are thrilled that we met Dawn. I am already considering bringing her back for a recap and tweaking in a few months. I highly recommend Dawn and Coast Dogs, no reservations whatsoever. You will not be disappointed and you will get results.

Our dog came home with a scab on his neck from the E-collar which has made me choose not to even keep up with this form of training.

I believe our dog was one of many dogs and they should not have taken on more than one dog at a time. This program was a waste of $2600 and our dog spent 18 days away from us only to come home not potty trained with no schedule. The owner Daniel was not apologetic and defensive of his program. He never apologized for my dog sustaining an injury from their e-collar usage. I absolutely do not recommend this type of training for small, companion dogs. Our dog is stubborn because the breed is notorious for that but he should have been sent home if he wasn't responding well to training. Instead the collar was mis-used and I don't trust anything related to this method or company any more.

Unprofessional Bait-and-Switch - Beware - Everything you DON'T WANT in a pet sitter…read more I contacted Caroline at Ohh My Dog for in-home overnight care for my two senior, anxious dogs for a 12-day trip. She provided a full detailed quote for 12 nights of in-home pet sitting ($1,760) and encouraged me to pay a $20 fee for a meet-and-greet to "ensure the dates are set". As soon as I PAID the fee, the service she "offered" completely changed. Despite being explicitly told my dogs cannot board elsewhere due to anxiety issues, she pivoted and repeatedly pressured me to have them stay in her home. She then claimed she "only accepts one pet sitting client (in your home) a month" and eventually stated she doesn't do in-home sits longer than 7 days (despite quoting me for a 12-day in-home stay just days earlier)--crucial information she conveniently left out until after she had taken my money. Trying to schedule the paid "meet-and-greet" was a series of unprofessional excuses: * First Cancellation (Substitution): Caroline deferred the first meeting to her walker, Grace. I paid the fee to meet the person who would be staying in our home. Meeting a walker who Caroline herself admitted "can't help with walks or anything during the week" does not fulfill the professional requirement for a 12 night in-home sitter meet-and-greet. * Second Cancellation (The Yogurt): Caroline canceled our second in-person meeting the morning of, claiming food poisoning from yogurt that had been expired for two months. Yep--Yogurt. * The Reality: Then she asked me to bring the dogs to HER house for the meet-and-greet and AGAIN suggesting for the 12 night stay with my dogs be moved to her house, continuing to ignoring the need for my dogs to remain in their own environment. * The Virtual Dog Meet and Greet Inconsistency: She then tried to force a "virtual" meet-and-greet because she didn't want to make the 50-minute drive. I explained this is useless for in-home care, as a sitter cannot assess a home's layout, security, or a dog's specific behavioral needs through a screen. When I pointed out that I paid the fee with the understanding that she sitter would be visiting our home to evaluate the environment for the 12-night stay. Now it was also obvious that she could not fulfill the service I originally requested and paid to discuss, she refused to refund the fee and "terminated" our service, claiming the meeting with her walker counted as a finished job. This business will quote you for the service you want just to take your deposit, then provide only what is convenient for them. Extremely unprofessional, misleading and quite honestly LAZY (I won't get into "The Yogurt")...

Although that's not that many reviews, we chose to give it a try because of the star average, the close proximity to our home and because out of the 10 different veterinary offices nearby, this was the only one what offered a pet plan. Upon arriving, the building looked kind of dated and it's easy to pass by, so be careful you don't miss it. When we walked in, all their merchandise and pet supplies looked well organized. There was even a white board that welcomed my miniature poodle, Rupert, for his first visit, which was very thoughtful of the staff. One of the ladies behind the counter asked how she could help us, but her disposition was very unwelcoming and unmannerly. We later found out from the doctor that her name was Brenda. As we were filling out the forms Brenda gave us, our dog was getting pretty nervous (which he does when he notices a shift in our regular routine or feels like he's in danger). He was whining and shaking a lot. Then I heard Brenda tell the other receptionist with annoyance, "Can you please get them into a room, so I can get my work done!" That was rude! If sounds that animals make bother you so much, you should not be working at a veterinarian office. One bad apple has the potential to sour the whole experience, so I have a few suggestions for this. Brenda should try smiling, adding some cheerfulness to her tone of voice, and being friendly with the animals and their owners. She has to 'act' like her job is enjoyable even if it isn't. Or she should work in the back, where there's no interaction with the customers. Once we were in a room, we let our dog down onto the floor, and I immediately noticed there was pee on the floor from a previous dog under the examination table. I also noticed the calendar still on December 2022, but that's besides the point. Autumn entered the room and greeted us with a smile. She was very jovial and bubbly! She started off with some friendly small talk, which made us feel like she was showing personal interest in us and our pup, and we even shared a few laughs. Then she asked some thorough questions about Rupert's health history. She really tried to help Rupert feel comfortable. She took him to the back for some blood work and returned with Dr. Kurtz. Dr. Kurtz was also very kind and sweet. She was gentle and patient with Rupert, which is important to us and she was very knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions and we definitely trust her with Rupert's care. As we were checking out, we paid for our visit with Stephanie. Stephanie was also very pleasant and had a friendly demeanor. She was concerned about how our visit went and she explained in detail what we would be charged for. We ended up signing up for the pet plan and had all of Rupert's semi annual tests done, along with some take home medication. Everything came up to about $405. Our only qualm was that at no time over the phone or in person were we told about a $99 plan startup fee for the Silver Plan. But that's fine. Overall, it was a good experience. And obviously we will be back since we live here now.

Trusted veterinarian with a business that should be first class when it opens soon…read more I've had numerous working dogs and Dr. H has been my "go to" vet since he arrived in our area.. Definitely recommended base upon his past performance!

I was debating whether to post a review about my last experience with Bay Road Animal Hospital…read moregiven that my experiences in the past over the past 2 1/2 years had been positive, but after having to euthanize my parrot Princess this morning, I felt I had to share my last experience with them so others might be forewarned. Princess's abdomen was filling up with liquid which had to be drained once a week. Dr. Smith did it and then went on vacation for almost two weeks without telling me the he would not be available so when I called up to get her in the next week was told he would not be back until the next week. Worse yet was given the name of another vet whom when I called was told they did not handle birds. How could a practice that only has one vet not make arrangements for someone to handle emergencies with their patients. In addition when I first took Princess in for that issue, he drew fluid from her abdomen and sent it out to be tested. The results were indicative but not definitive of liver disease. Both the other vet I went to and the organization from where I adopted Princess told me a blood test at a much lower cost should have been the first test done and would have revealed the liver disease rather than the almost $ 600 test which also didn't reveal the mass in her abdomen which x-rays showed. All in the all, a total failure by Dr. Smith considering he had provided such good service in the past.

When it was time for my little Sassy to cross over the rainbow bridge I called Jeannie at Chasing…read moreTails as she does at home euthanasia. As bad as it was she made it easier as she's sooo kind and caring and so was the technician she had with her (I can't remember her name) I have one old cat left and when it's her time then I expect to have the caring Jennie her for her also. So if you need a Vet I highly recommend Chasing Tails, she has everything that a vet's office has in her traveling mobile office.

All in all everything went well. Dr. Jeanne is an excellent VET. My sis in law introduced us and…read morethat's all it took, I knew instantly I liked her, but the real test came when she came for her first visit, to see Callie, and Lucy for their yearly check up and vaccinations. Callie was easy she loved everyone, Lucy was the test of acceptance she's disliked the vet after her first office visit. We literally had to carry/drag her into the building, then she would hide behind the furnishings, it was so heartbreaking. We changed vets, no go. We asked Dr.J, if she would give us a try, Lucy was a little afraid, but each time she's shown improvement. I believe that's been about 6+ years ago. We really like Dr.J, and her staff. She's given us excellent care, and is compassionate beyond measure. Trouble is she needs a clone, I hear she's not accepting new pts right now, all I can say is keep trying! She's well worth the wait!!
