    Post-surgical closure of the bite

    I have a greyhound who is very docile, gentle and has been to many different doggy daycares without incident. On her most recent drop off at the Atlas in Bethesda, she was attacked by another dog (bit on the back of the neck, see photos) and required general anesthesia to undergo surgical repair. We were told that the dog that bit her belonged to a partial owner of the company and that the dog was "grumpy" as a means of explanation. While we were reimbursed for the cost of the procedure, vet appts, meds, etc. it is clear that Atlas is not doing thorough behavioral testing (or else making unacceptable exceptions to their own policies) putting all the dogs under their care at risk.

    I can't say enough good things about Brandi and Perry Bailey of RSK9. Their work has given my pup…read moreand I so much freedom and balance. Pebbles (blue heeler, 1.5 years old) would never listen to me, would not sit or lay still, and had a lot of other obedience issues that caused her to be stressed or confused. She was a TOUGH dog to train and I was concerned I couldn't find the solution for her to get basic concepts. This view has completely changed since working with RSK9's 3 week program. I would HIGHLY recommend them and their methods - you can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and it's made a huge difference in giving my dog the chance to find real rest at home. They send DAILY updates with photos and videos which was so nice. This isn't a regular class or something you just pay for; it's truly an investment that you and your dog will be using for the time you get to share together. Side note: it's worth doing 3 weeks versus 2 weeks. At the 2 week mark is when Pebbles really started to understand her marks and cues. From here there is so much more that can be refined and Brandi/Perry really capitalize on that threshold being crossed!

Initially we checked out the Ridgeside Instagram account and then after contacting them for additional information we decided to sign Flossie up for the 3 week board & train program. We were given our trainer's contact info in case we had any questions or wanted additional info prior to the start date. Gina picked up Flossie and for the next three weeks we got pictures and videos every day of Flossie's training progress plus also information for us to learn about the training. All of this made the transition back home easy and seamless. Gina's instructions were clear and concise and she also made sure that we understood the hows and the whys of training. Since Flossie has been home Gina reached out to see how things were going and said she was available if we had any follow up questions. We are very happy with the outcome and feel the training really firmed up our loosey goosey training up to that point. Gina gave Flossie the foundational training she needed in order for us to meet our goals with Flossie and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

    So far, so good. I…read morelearned about Pup Scouts Dog Care because I saw it from the window of a nearby gym. Since I was planning to go on an international trip very soon, I decided to stop by and inquire about its boarding services. I thought Henry, the owner, did a wonderful job explaining the ins and outs of Pup Scouts' boarding services during our impromptu meeting. He even provided a quick tour of the facility. While the boarding situation seems pretty standard, I was impressed to learn that it is a cage-/crate-free environment. Prior to booking a stay, the dog must complete 10 hours of of doggy daycare. I was not surprised by this stipulation. However, I was shocked (in a positive way) to learn that the 10 hours of doggy daycare is free. While Pup Scouts is a business, this showed me that they are interested in ensuring that the dog is a good fit rather than just focusing on profits. Online booking makes things pretty easy for reserving a spot. In most cases, I have been able to reserve slots for doggie daycare a few hours before dropping off the dog (e.g., booking in the morning for an afternoon stay). In terms of price, I think Pup Scouts is on par (if not slightly lower) to compared to other places in the area. While I've met only a few members of the staff, both persons were very professional and seemed to really care about working with dogs. During every instance of dropping off and picking up my pup, 1-2 customers would highlight how much they enjoyed working with Pup Scouts.

She is well socialized and has a lovely geriatric older fur-sibling with whom she is tightly bonded. We had an unexpected family situation and were sure we would struggle to find the right accommodation for her. She is very affectionate but suffers from a bit of separation anxiety. Pup Scouts was incredible. They ticked all of the boxes - no crates, 24/7 staff supervision, flexible drop off and pick up - like ANY TIME. Henry was so friendly and understanding. From the start - he answered all of my questions at the meet & greet, and did a wonderful job of introducing other dogs to our little one. He was methodical and thoughtful in integrating her into the established "pack". He is incredibly gentle and affectionate and she took to him immediately. All of the staff were incredible. Having a live web-cam to check in on our little fur-baby at any time was so helpful in keeping our spirits calm and reassuring us that she was being well cared for. Pup Scouts is fantastic!

    I spent the better part of the last 2 years working for the lovely ladies at DogOn Fitness, and I…read morehave to say it truly is one of the best work experiences I've had. (I recently moved out of the area and was quite sad to leave them!) Both Jackie and Nancy were a dream to work for, largely because they are very effective at keeping their business functioning optimally, in every way. Every interaction I have with them is pleasant, smooth, and successful - whether it is to work on scheduling, or to handle a challenge with a dog. With their positive attitude every challenge was always easily resolved. DogOn Fitness is a company that consists of animal lovers. Every handler and trainer I've worked with there is very passionate about animals, and I've always seen that the animals are treated with the utmost care, respect, and concern. Sometimes we deal with a dog's difficult behavioral issues, and when the solution is not immediately apparent, we will have an ongoing discussion amongst every person responsible for that dog's care, where we share our stories and strategies and bounce ideas off of each other until we find something that works. For example, I worked with a large dog who would just decide to sit down and not cooperate during walks. Of course the dog would eventually have to make her way home, and us handlers have a schedule to keep, so this poses quite a problem. Ideally we did not want to use any force, like pulling on her leash to get her up. A few of us worked together and found a wonderful solution - playing with a tennis ball will get her going again! I was so relieved to have such caring support during a challenge. In such circumstances I fear that many people may not bother and would just do something like pulling on the leash until she gets up - instead of working to find a way that causes no distress to the dog. They have open and active communication that makes it very easy to successfully solve problems, so I really didn't see problems slip! And thus, my entire experience there was quite wonderful and all and all I can't speak highly enough of Nancy, Jackie, and all of DogOn Fitness!
