Kasey Nash, Joyful Paws Review I'm writing this review…read morefor Kasey Nash, Joyful Paws, because she is a superb trainer and I'm very grateful that she trained our dog Daisy to become a service dog. Daisy is a mini labradoodle and was 2 1/2 when she began training with Kasey. Previously she had had two intermediate classes at the K-9 Connecticut Education Center. To summarize, in our first session Kasey explained in detail what would be involved, and stressed the importance of my involvement. Daisy had 20 lessons spread out over 6 months. Lessons took place in Kasey's very well equipped basement, Home Goods, Target, Petco, and Cabela Sports. Kasey sent detailed notes after each lesson on what and how to practice, and how to take commands to new levels. Daisy bonded with Kasey the first day, and became very excited at even the mention of "Kasey". After a 5 week evaluation period she received her "Service Puppy in Training Vest" (a proud day). Approximately five months later, Daisy did a fantastic job on her service dog test which lasted more than two hours. Daisy's primary task was location assistance and guidance. She learned to guide me through a department store such as Home Goods, stop at curbs outside, and more. To name just a few commands: Left, right, forward, outside, button, here, wait. Kasey's method was to explain a new command, demonstrate it with Daisy, then teach me to perform the task with Daisy. Lots of treats were used! Before the next lesson, Daisy and I practiced the new commands extensively, at least three times a week along with previous commands. To give you a few examples of Kasey's teaching, we spent an hour or so getting on and off the glass elevator at Cabela Sports. Daisy learned elevator etiquette and got over fear of accelerations and abrupt stops. The techniques I learned from Kasey allowed me to build on many commands during our practice between lessons. To name a few, elevator techniques were used to teach escalators. "Outside" was extended to "Back" and "Find the trail" while hiking. For fun, during one lesson, Kasey taught Daisy to push a "door open" assistance button. This took less than half an hour to my amazement. A year later Daisy still remembers this "button" command. Kasey organized a number of field trips with her other dogs in training: Mystic Aquarium and a Scavenger Hunt to name two. Kasey wrote an "Attestation Letter" about Daisy's training which was instrumental in getting service dog approval for Aer Lingus and later for EuroStar (train to UK). I highly recommend Kasey Nash to anyone considering Service Dog training.

I have been training dogs for 40 years. And training my own service dogs for almost 20. I have…read moreworked with dozens of positive dog trainers. But Kasey is one of a kind! I immediately recognized she has skills way beyond mine and has so much knowledge of dog training and working service dogs. Far beyond most trainers. She helped my current service dog brush up on some skills and fix a couple issues we were having. She helped me create a near perfect service dog. I am so impressed with her that I asked her to produce and begin training my next service dog for me when my current girl retires. Joyful Paws is AMAZING!

Every time they visit, our dog gets tons of exercise, attention, and belly rubs. They are incredibly responsible and reliable. They really took the time to get to know our dog's personality, routine, habits, and even the commands we use and specific areas we're working with him on training. They are so attentive and in tune with both our dog and our home, and have alerted us and checked in if something seemed unusual, or potentially unsafe. After every visit we get a detailed message about the time they spent with our pup (including adorable pictures). They have even reached out to us to check in on our dog after an operation, during a time when they weren't coming for visits. Gretchen and Rob are such a kind and compassionate team. They go above and beyond to care for their clients, and they truly love every member of their pack. We completely trust them with both our pup and our house, and highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a pet sitter. They are the best!

I am so grateful to this groomer! From the first…read moreconversation it was a great experience!!! My shipoo was matted and all groomers are booked out for months. I spoke to Nichole and she was kind, and very helpful. I was super nervous because it was my shipoo's first time going to them but she helped to ease my nerves. When I dropped her off she was shivering but Nichole took her and hugged her to try and soothe her. When I returned my dog was happy, beautiful and smelling great! I have to say, I have never seen My baby so happy after grooming but she was super excited. That meant a lot and really eased my stress! Thank you everyone at Dog essentials!
