However, I want to warn others about this company before investing thousands of dollars on adopting a puppy. We adopted a puppy from this company and it arrived with Parvo. Parvo it a terrible virus. We took her to an emergency vet. This breeder encouraged us to help save the dog's life so we of course tried. After over $6000 in vet bills, the virus ended up taking the puppy's life. We spent another $2000 on a different replacement puppy (since my adopted son had his heart broken). The dog was flown to Chicago and we had no information given to us from them. It was a chaotic and frustrating process. The woman running this company was not kind nor compassionate to our situation. I would never recommend them!

My husband and I adopted Drake from craigslist a few months ago. We were told that he was a…read morewell-behaved family dog. What we found out, however, was an entirely different story! He bit my husband all the way home from Austin (where we picked him up) and then proceeded to let us know he wasn't potty trained the moment we got to the house. Shortly after, he also let us know he did not like visitors to our apartment. He'd follow them around nipping and growling at their feet relentlessly. We gave him grace for awhile thinking it was the new environment, but after he bit the Petco Trainer during the graduation of Adult 1, we knew we had to do something. From the moment that I called Karma Dog Training, I felt very comfortable. Jeff answered my call and he patiently listened to me explain the situation. He went into detail about dog aggression and referred us to Carolyn. Carolyn was prompt in helping me get scheduled for an appointment and arrived on the decided time. Our first secession was last night. The moment Carolyn arrived I could tell she was perfect for the situation. She is very soft spoken and gentle. My husband and I watched as she went through a series of potential trigger test on him. She isolated sound quickly, which never even occurred to me! Carolyn informed us that Drake's aggression is definitely fear based. She gave us exercises that we can do with our guest to help build his confidence. Also, she walked us through the steps of greeting guest, from the moment they knock on the door. We know that this will be a journey of replacing fearful situations, with positive ones, but I can tell with the tools and advice she gave us, that we have a starting foundation to build on. On a side note, we recently adopted another dog named Elena. We have not had the time to start obedience training with her, and she is only six months. Needless to say, she's quite the wiggle worm. Towards the end of the session, we let her down for the greeting the guest portion. She literally would just plop down in a sit at Carolyn's feet, and spend minutes calmly looking up at her. I was baffled. Her attention span is about two seconds. Overall, we received 10-star customer service! The whole process was fantastic, and we are looking forward to having another session. Let it be known, that I researched, and spoke to over 10 dog trainers/ behaviorists in San Antonio.. and can honestly say my experience with Karma Dog Training was the best! My husband and I have no doubt in our minds that Carolyn will be our go to trainer for any issues here on out.

After 10 years of being a Pawderosa customer, they've lost my business for good…read more I am the type of person that likes to build a relationship with a company or service and stay there long term, so it didn't bother me that Pawderosa didn't have all the bells and whistles (like included daycare with boarding and live camera feeds) their competition has. I was a very content customer, other than one issue that I considered relatively minor in the grand scope of things. I've personally referred dozens of people to them over the years, which I now greatly wish I could take back. A few weeks ago, Pawderosa asked their customers to fill out a survey to ostensibly help them improve their service. I filled it out with generally high marks, but did note that the hours of operation are tricky to abide by. The posted hours here on Google are incorrect; they actually close their lobby every day from 12-1, and occasionally other times too for staff trainings or for other reasons. There is no communication with their clients about this other than posting it on their door. I am a business owner, mom to a toddler, and I have 2 pets as well, so trying to find time to drop off my dog without running into their closures has sometimes been an issue for me. I noted that in the survey, and their reply to that was to tell me to call the office if the door is locked and they would facilitate a drop off that way. That solved my problem, and I thought that was the end of that. Fast forward a couple of weeks, and my wife arrived 5 minutes after 12 to drop off our dog. She called me and I said "Oh no worries, they told us just to call them if this happens so I'll do that." I called and they let it ring through a few times, but I kept on trying, as that is what I was instructed to do. They finally answered, I explained the situation, and they told my wife to go ahead and drop off our dog. When she stepped into the office, Hannah was extremely rude to her, ignoring her greetings and admonishing her to mind the posted hours next time. My wife walked away feeling like she had just been sent to the principals office! So of course, I wanted to address this rudeness: I sent an email to one of the managers in hopes that we'd be able to clear the air and receive an apology for the rude treatment. What ensued were some of the most humiliating and awkward conversations my wife and I have ever been party to in a professional setting. Hannah called me from her personal cell phone (perhaps to avoid the call being recorded on the company line, but that is pure speculation) and berated me for 3 minutes straight. She let me know in no uncertain terms that she was not sorry for behaving the way she behaved, and gave me a talking to like I was a disobedient child for calling during their lunch hour as instructed. When I asked who I could escalate this issue to, given that she made NO attempt to smooth this issue over with me, she told me "no one" and that she's the top of the line due to the owner being a busy entrepreneur who doesn't speak with clients. Being a business owner myself, I found that rather shocking. I would never tell any of my customers that I am too busy to speak with them, especially not people that have been loyal to my business for 10 years and spent tens of thousands of dollars at my establishment. But either way, I took the hint. Hannah and Pawderosa management were letting me know that they don't need my business and to not let the door hit me on the way out. Then my wife called, giving them the benefit of the doubt and sure that this was a huge misunderstanding. She spoke with Amanda, who doubled down on Hannah's message, saying that I am "a bad vibe," "hostile," "irritating" and that I am a "problem client." Amanda's idea of fixing this was to cut me out of all future communications and deal exclusively with my wife. She asked what specifically I have done to warrant these descriptions of my character, and Amanda said "well I don't know off the top of my head." When asked if I had ever raised my voice to her or any staff member or used bad language with any of them, Amanda admitted no, I had never done that. So by their own admission, there is actually no evidence of me being anything but cordial and professional with them, besides my "vibe". Safe to say, this was all news to me! I rarely even interact with their staff, outside of sending them reservation request emails and vaccination updates. When I pick up or drop off my dog, it's a 1 minute interaction at most, and I am, as a rule, very sure to say Thank You. So, I scoured my email to see if I had ever been a "problem client" as accused, and I did have some constructive feedback for them in 2017 -- nearly 8 years ago. I suppose that and letting them know on their survey that their hours are inconvenient are enough to throw away a 10 year relationship and make me feel like I'm back in high school being gossiped about by the mean girls.

We waited a full year to share our experience with All Dogs Unleashed to reflect the long-term…read moreimpact on our dogs. While staff were friendly, the program felt largely misrepresented to us. In October 2024, we enrolled our two dogs (8 y/o + 2 y/o) in a 4-week board-and-train program specifically to address resource guarding. Both dogs had a history of resource guarding, which we had managed successfully, but the behavior had recently escalated and we wanted professional support. We were assured multiple times that resource guarding would be addressed through individualized obedience training. Communication during training was limited. We had to initiate contact, and updates generally indicated that the dogs were doing well. No concerns were raised to us about their behavior or suitability for the program. Upon returning home, our younger dog appeared extremely fearful and hesitant, taking nearly 15 minutes to approach us despite reassurance. During the "live demo," commands like "place" were enforced with excessive e-collar corrections. The dogs seemed confused, stressed, and did not appear to have any understanding of the commands being given. Bad manners, like jumping, were still present even during this session. When we asked how resource guarding had been addressed, the sole reason we signed up, the trainer said, "We never saw this behavior ourselves, so it wasn't addressed," without further elaboration. The dogs displayed resource guarding behaviors during this session, and she instructed us to "just use the e-collar whenever they do something you don't want," which directly contradicted advice from the manager that punishing guarding could significantly worsen it. When we raised concerns multiple times both during this session and afterward, we generally felt dismissed and were told for a long time to "let them adjust" before seeking more training. Our youngest began frequently urinating in her crate, a behavior she had never displayed before. When we asked about this, we were recommended to see a vet. They did offer another training session, but we ultimately felt it was not the right decision to continue with them. A veterinarian confirmed her urination was stress-related, consistent with the behaviors we noticed during the return session. She has since required daily anti-anxiety medication for fear-based behaviors that arose immediately after she returned home. Over a year later, their obedience is unchanged from before the program, and we have had to cope with long-term stress and anxiety for our dogs. We spent about $5,000 on a program that failed to address our primary concern and left lasting negative effects on us. We don't recommend this business and encourage anyone seeking professional training to choose a trainer whose approach is tailored to their dogs' specific needs and training goals.
