Molly was completely…read moreuntrained, hyper and willful (though smart) and I was afraid we'd ruined her by spoiling her. Maggie worked with her daily for 2 weeks and what a difference! She understands commands and seems more self controlled in general. I can actually walk her on leash without being dragged down the street. Maggie was patient and firm but kind and Molly just loves her! She is a very professional and talented young woman. Maggie also gave us the tools to continue working with Molly to make sure her training sticks. I would highly recommend Maggie of Alpha Canine. I plan to have her work with our very large fearful dog because I know I can trust her.

Off Leash K9 Training has been a life changing experience for us. We purchased the basic and…read moreadvanced obedience package (8 private lessons) for each of our dogs. The lessons occurred throughout August and September, so this review might be a little overdue, but I've had time to reflect on the experience. First off, we got our two boys as puppies and wanted to be able to take them everywhere we go. At the time of the training, one was almost 2 and the other a little over a year old. Both could be obnoxious at times, barking at other dogs that walked by; trying to take off after every squirrel, bird, deer, etc. that they saw; going nuts when the doorbell rang; and a drive thru window was a complete nightmare. Doing anything with them was becoming more and more stressful. We decided we had to try something and contacted Crystal, the owner, who listened to our concerns and goals, patiently answered all of our questions, and made recommendations based upon the info provided. Our private lessons with Lyndsey, our trainer, soon began. She was definitely "our trainer" as teaching us was a huge component of the process. Not only did she teach us what do to, she took the time to explain why. That made all the difference as it prompted us to start thinking through situations, made us better problem solvers, and even made us better at preventing problems and setting the dogs up for success. One of our dogs, Cash, has had a huge turn around. Turns out, he is very routine-oriented and likes structure and knowing what he is supposed to do. Now that we have figured that out, he is so much more confident, way less anxious, and seems to enjoy outings and activities. Carter, the younger of the two, has a completely different personality. He has always been very easygoing and affectionate but also very curious, easily distracted, and not afraid of much. His safety was a concern for us because he wouldn't follow directions and would venture off after a bird, squirrel, etc. I was constantly being pulled when we were walking or startled by his barking at different things he saw. His leash manners have improved significantly and we can walk pretty much anywhere, go into stores, dine out at a restaurant with an outdoor patio, etc. Just last week, they were both able to walk with us on the beach off leash. Again, the experience has been life changing for us. We feel confident taking them places, having friends over, etc. They are always complimented when we are out about how well behaved they are. We do continue to work with them on a regular basis. That's a point that Lyndsey was sure to make. We are grateful to her for teaching us how to teach our dogs.

His many years of experience with dogs of all temperaments and theories of training worked wonders. After four weeks, our pup was calmer around new people and dogs, easily redirected, and a joy to walk on and off leash. He knew tricks prior to working with Brendan, now he knows commands. If you are looking for an extremely professional and very experienced trainer, look no further. Brendan's program is worth every penny.

I looked at the owner's website www.camp-ruff.com which describes their facility as a "lux camp" for dogs and puppies. I was intrigued and called for an appt to view the property and see the operations. I was met by the Camp Director/Owner, a delightful, sincere woman named Lucinda. She greeted me and my dog and proceeded to show me the camp home, which is divided into sections based on the needs and behaviors of the various dogs she was boarding. She listened to my description of my dogs needs, habits and observed her to judge how she would behave w other dogs. One by one she let a dog out from the house, where they have their "sleep over", cautiously to see what my dog would do. As the animals were about my dog's size everyone seemed to accept each other. Great news! Lucinda decided to take the next step by taking my dog w the small pack for some exercise on the trail in the woods behind the house. The dogs were running around having a great time which relieved my anxiety that my dog might not like to be off leash but she was running and getting some great exercise and learning to enjoy the pack mentality. No fighting or misbehaving, perfect! Lucinda works tirelessly to pamper the pooches morning and night. Morning feedings, evening feedings, medications and always careful observations of the pets. They all sleep like happy babies when the day ends in a real home environment. Prices are in line and reasonable I think for an overnight stay of $44 including feeding, walking, playtime and careful observation by someone who is highly qualified and very knowledgeable of pet behavior. All animals come in contact w other pets only when owner has documentation for boarding such as rabies vaccination, bordetello. This place is a well thought out and safe place to leave your precious pet while you are away. So relax, they got your back!
