We spent time discussing my own relationship with my dog and the importance of my own role throughout the training process; this included things I was doing well and things I needed to improve on which left me feeling confident and calm!

There was no BS - just corrections and praise which is my kind of dog training. Mark was a wonderful teacher and listener and made me feel so good about the training process. I am already looking forward to our next session!

LOTP was the best decision I could have ever made for my dog. My pup was reactive, and I wasn't…read moresure if we'd ever be able to have the life we wanted being out in public (especially in such a dog friendly town), and after going through the training his reactivity is almost completely gone and we're able to go to the dog park, go on walks, and do all the things without the fear we had before. I was afraid this wouldn't be possible without fear based training, but LOTP was able to train him in a loving, non-fear based environment. As testament, when I picked my pup up after training was done and his initial excitement to see me had passed, he was back to playing with the owner/trainer like they were best friends. I strongly recommend taking advantage of the packages they offer, as my pup was SO excited to spend a weekend with them for follow up training. As soon as we arrived at the house my dog could hardly wait to get out of the car and be back with the owner. I highly, highly recommend LOTP. I love my pup more than anything and made the right choice in sending him there. If traditional classes didn't work for you, you're scared about leaving your dog in the hands of someone else, and you're nervous they're going to change the good in your dog's personality to make him behave, don't be. It is worth every penny, and can give you a life with your pup that you didn't think possible, without the use of fear or trauma or pain like you see in other training/militant facilities. LOTP changed my family's life for the better and can do the same for yours, too. Perks: They set your dog up with a personalized page for you to visit complete with updates, videos, and pictures, so you can track your dog's progress. Pictures below were taken at actual training and uploaded to his page. We learned he LOVES the jolly ball so we got him one and he plays with it all the time. The trainer sits with you when you drop your pup off to give you the full rundown so you're aligned on expectations and everything. You can tell right off the bat he knows what he's talking about and will love and take care of your pup. And when you pick your pup up you have another session where they set you up for ongoing success. Thank you Mark and team for everything!!!

We interviewed a few other sitters before deciding on her, and really that is the only way to go. You gotta meet your prospective sitter in person and get a vibe. Do you click with them? Does your pet click with them? Both answers should be yes. When we get home from trips, our house and our dog are as if we never left. Everything is in its place, the plants are watered, the poop's picked up, and the dog acts like we were only gone an hour.

Plucky Puppy has been a lifesaver for me and my partner. Recently, we spontaneously adopted two…read morelabradoodle sisters from the same litter. After the fact, we got warned to spend a lot of time socializing them and training them separately if we didn't want them to develop a littermate syndrome. So, I loaded up on puppy socials, booking every social I could get my hands on at Wonder Puppy and Plucky Puppy. I booked over 35 socials for both of them to attend separately between the ages of 8 and 20 weeks. We also signed up for Plucky Puppy's Kinderpuppy class, and have hired the owner Katrin to board and train each puppy separately in her house one day a week per puppy for a couple of months. This review is for all 3 services we use: 1) Puppy Socials, 2) Private Training with Katrin and 3) Kinderpuppy School. I would rate Puppy Socials as 10/10, the private training with Katrin as 10/10 and the School as 8/10. Below is a breakdown of each service. Puppy Socials (10/10): I like them better than the other socials we go to because they involve the owners and teach the owners how to recognize and attune to the behavior and needs of their dog and understand the body language of all dogs involved in the activity. I really like the clear instructions for the owners and the constant narration the trainers are doing with the dogs as the dogs play. Other companies' socials have the owners step outside and look through a window, which is far less engaged and informative. Private Training with Katrin (10/10): I see a huge difference in each dog at the end of their training day with Katrin. They've learned so much we wouldn't have been able to teach them because 1) we're first time puppy owners and 2) we have two of them, which makes it extra challenging to train each if you don't know what they're doing. Katrin also spent time training our family with the two dogs present and working on separating the dogs into different room crates (we have them in separate crates but same room at home for the time being - working towards separating their crates into different rooms). Honestly, if our dogs keep up the trend of being good, sweet and trained dogs, it will all be because of Katrin. She's a life-saver. We are constantly getting compliments on how good our dogs are. Katrin also sends us multiple videos of each day's training and I love how she spends time socializing the dogs to different environments. Her kids love being part of the dog training, so we're getting a whole family involved in their care, which is amazing! Kinderpuppy School (8/10): Great training for dog parents and understanding how to communicate with your puppy and really attune to their needs, body language and emotions. Very hands on and interactive. The only reason I dinged the score a bit is that in the first few classes our school trainer waits for the late comers to arrive before starting class, which wastes valuable puppy attention span and fills up their belly with treats while they wait. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and attentive and I've already given them the feedback about starting on time and not waiting for people who are late, so I am hopeful this issue will be fixed going forward.

Buttons has his fair share of issues (don't we all?) but her faith in his potential really helps me when it's an extra borky day. Her expert guidance has totally defined how we go about our day-to-day with him and she is always there to be our cheerleader or give me pointers when needed. And the fact that Plucky Puppy can take him in for a board and train makes everything so much easier when we need to travel-we know he is going to the best finishing school around.

My dog that I adopted as a 2yo came with significant veterinary related fear aggression. My primary…read morevet referred me to them bc they felt uncomfortable with how to manage his sedation for appointments. I took him to the costly initial appointment that consisted of the vet and another person (tech?) sitting in chairs across the room staring and throwing snacks at my dog onto the floor. They proceeded to dissect everything I did with my dog in our day to day lives and shame me for it. And to be clear, at this point, he was walking nicely on a leash with only occasional reactivity to other dogs and trash trucks, he was playing and interacting well with other dogs his size and activity level, he was able to be off leash when we would camp and swim. All of his needs were met, he was becoming a wonderful, well adjusted dog. I was simply just looking for appropriate sedation so he could have stress free vet visits. Instead, I was told everything else I was doing was wrong, that I should put a head collar on him even though I specifically told them he doesn't tolerate it (not all dogs do), and then they suggested I just don't walk him for a few wks. That letting him be in a house and only to a small backyard would help fix a problem that wasn't a problem. Oh yeah and then they said I needed to do their expensive classes which were at this point virtual only. In hindsight, I should have trusted my instincts and found a different primary clinic. If you have a dog that struggles with vet visits, it's not your fault. Some places are very clearly better at handling dogs who have fear and anxiety. And some places are much better about not causing it in the first place. Find a fear free clinic, or one that emphasizes that care. Because once I did that, the whole experience was better. Don't spend $500 or however much the initial visit is to be told you're doing everything wrong and failing at being a pet parent.

I am currently working with Synergy with one of my rescue dogs and I have a an appointment to begin…read moreworking with my other rescue. Our first appointment with Dr. Valli was helpful but it was more of a diagnosis and not steps I can take at home to support and improve my dog's behavior. I figured that would come after tests and medication trials were completed. However, I was sent an email of next steps, including an additional $660 for 6 x 30 minute online training sessions. This is over $1000 not including the $350 for blood work and imaging. To be honest, I feel embarrassed because I could barely pay the $450 consultation fee and now I'm looking at my rescue puppy thinking about what a bad pet parent I am because our funds are maxed out. I do think that Synergy offers much needed services and I understand that it costs a lot to offer those services. My suggestion to Synergy is that you add a question(s) to your intake survey like: 1. Are you committed to purchasing training sessions if they are recommended after your consultation? If a client answers "no" then it would be nice to tailor their consultation report with next steps they can do on their own and/or with their vet. Or, clarify that the consultation is only one piece of program and that the $450 is just the initial cost and to expect up to $300-$1000 additional costs for training. If people can't afford more than the $450 initially is there a point to even doing the consultation? Can you clarify how the consultation will benefit those who do not want to proceed with training through Synergy? If I would have known that the realistic cost would be around $1000 I may have tried something else that was within my budget range. Again, I haven't finished the process so maybe there's more to be seen and I will soon be praising Synergy for only charging me $450 for the best treatment plan and advice on how to work with my dog on her behavior issues.
