My wife and I were fortunate to have had a chance meeting with Jennifer at a local veterinary…read moreoffice last year. Waiting for our appointment, we got to talking and were able to learn about K-9 Comfort Zone and Jennifer's philosophy on training. That couldn't have happened at a better time since we were experiencing "growing pains" with a high energy French Bulldog mix the likes of which my wife and I had not experienced in our lifetimes with pets. We contacted Jennifer after that meeting to see if she could help. Thank God for that phone call! Jennifer has truly been a Godsend for us. She is very professional and presented us with an "easy to read" contract reflecting her services. She has been attentive, timely, patient and truly knows what she is doing. She has actually done just as good a job training US as she has our little Frenchie. The suggestions she has made have worked wonders, and she is never reluctant to think outside the box when it comes to techniques for us to try. She even provided us with materials for ordering challenging mental games/toys for our little troublemaker. With a little dedication on our part in implementing Jennifer's teachings, we know our girl will soon be a well-behaved, well-adjusted little pooch and a happy-go-lucky member of our "pack." We recommend K-9 Comfort Zone without reservation. Make that call and let Jennifer take over. You won't regret it!! Scott (Brunswick, Ohio)

Lindsey helped my dog, Leela, and I work through these issues and addressed some basic obedience issues. Leela made such great progress we ended up adopting my step-daughter's 15 lb chihuahua mix.

Lindsey has extensive experience with all aspects of dogs and she is one of a kind, a true gem. Her experience and knowledge, and personalized training was well worth the expense.

Definitely Please Read!!!!…read more I was EXTREMELY cautious about who I wanted to train my dog Bandit (German Shepherd) who is 2 years old. We were told by our Veterinarian that Bandit has severe anxiety, fear and can be aggressive. I knew I would rather not work with a negative reinforcement training company. The training at Medina Dog Wizard is not negative at all in my experience. Steve and Aurelia began with them teaching Bandit boundaries that we could utilize at home. They also send guides to read to assist you at home after the training. Medina Dog Wizard also establishes rules and commands to help establish a good relationship with your dog. I was able, with the trainer's help, to figure out what works best for handling Bandit. I tried another dog trainer in the county, paying a lot of money. That company told me to get a harness, but my dog pulled severely, and my wife had very little control of him on our walks. We dropped off Bandit for two weeks at Medina Dog Wizard, they worked with him. Through working with Steve, the owner and trainer, we've learned that he reacts *extremely well* to wearing a prong collar, and slip leash and makes things much safer for the dog, my family and me. We also established commands for Bandit like lay down, place, heel, free, and kennel. They help you figure out what works best for your dog and you! That being said, I can't say enough outstanding things about Steve and Aurella at the Medina Dog Wizard. From talking to them on the phone and at the consultation, I immediately felt like they understood why Bandit was behaving the way he was. Even when training is complete, you go to Saturday's walks. During the walk, you have interactions with other dogs and have mini training where the trainer's assists you. Medina Dog Wizard goes above and beyond just the lessons. I have reached out to Medina Dog Wizard when Bandit was anxious when I was going to the store or putting him in his cage at night. Steve had some great tips that made it easier for us to handle these situations with my dog. They also offer boarding for the day if you go on vacation. I am so appreciative and thankful that I found Medina Dog Wizard. This is the best investment I have made in my dog (Bandit's) training.

The Dog Wizard hit my dog and threw a bottle of rocks at the dog cages!!!…read more I took my dog to The Dog Wizard in Medina, Ohio because I was promised that they could train him to my disabilities. However, they trained him like every other dog and I now have a dog I can't control because I'm physically unable to. They did not have handicap accessibility, so when we picked him up we had to stand out in the sun on a 90* day to get instructions on his training. When confronted about not training him to me they offered to come to my home 2x to make it better, but, seriously, what can be done in 2 days!?! I chose to try it and the trainer came in and when my dog would not cooperate she smacked him on the side of his face right in front of me! What!?! When my husband and daughter went to the dog wizard facility for day 2 they witnessed a bottle of rocks being thrown at the dog cages to get them to quiet down. Now I know why my dog is now afraid of noises he wasn't afraid of before. When I asked for a refund I was told, in a not very nice way, absolutely not that it's my fault his training did not work. I just threw $2525.00 down the toilet.

In June 2025 I brought my cat Petey age 14 to have dental surgery and have his sinuses explored due…read moreto him sneezing a lot! I was told by Dr. Wilson that she could find nothing and maybe he had asthma. He was given an antibiotic shot after the procedure and this seemed to give him relief for a couple months. Then it started up again. I took him back on Dec 6, 2025. He was very nervous and panted when he first arrived. I told her he was not eating much, refusing food he had been on since I adopted him at age 6 months, but no appetite issues until now. She made a comment about his breathing saying he was struggling but no further examination or suggestions to try to diagnose him! She then whisked him off to another room to clip his back nails and gave him another antibiotic shot and a steroid shot. He had an ear infection so she gave me drops for his ears. She told me to call her on Monday Dec. 8 to tell her how he was doing but when I called I was told she was not available and would call me back. She never did. Instead several days later someone-NOT her-called and left me a message to call her and she would relay the message to Dr.Wilson. Sad that she could not find 5 minutes to speak with me! Petey continued to worsen, seeming to have more difficulty breathing and rather than take him back to see Dr. Wilson I found another veterinarian office to take him to. On Wed, Dec 17, 2025 I took him there. From the moment I came into the room the vet gave him her full attention, asking me what was going on. She listened to his breathing and said she wanted to take x-rays to see what may be going on. After doing so she came in and told me Pete had fluid in his chest. She tried to drain it but she could not. She then informed me that he likely would not make it through the day. I called my husband at work and together we made the gut wrenching decision to let him go so he would not suffer more than he already had! I was advised that he would likely pass before my husband could arrive by 6 pm. Thankfully my daughter had gone with me for support. I have struggled to understand WHY DR. WILSON AT ANIMAL AND AVIAN DID NOT SUGGEST THE CHEST X-RAY ON DEC 6th!!!! In my opinion she is an awful, negligent vet! It appears all they care about is their income stream-just giving meds and keeping you coming back again and again for injections which never took care of the problem. It is all about the money with them! My feeling is if she had she suggested and done the x-ray when she saw him on Dec 6th instead of more meds which she said would likely be ongoing if they helped, which they did not, then my Petey would not have had to suffer an additional 11 days!!! I would NEVER take another animal to ANIMAL AND AVIAN nor would I refer anyone to them!

We used to swear by this vet's office. Dr. Wilson and Dr. Palomar are wonderful, we liked Dr…read more Martin, the front desk and all but one of the vet techs are fantastic. The problem happened when we had to let our pitty go due to sudden illness at the end of 2025. One of the vet techs, Luke, got really nasty when my husband protested leaving a muzzle on our unconscious dog who was one shot away from being dead. He had already received the shot that put him under and he was, for all intents and purposes, gone. We completely understand when there is a chance the dog is going to turn on you, but at this point he. was. gone. Give the dog and his parents a dignified good-bye, he isn't going to rise back up and eat you when he is out like this. There is no reason to make such an already traumatic experience even worse. Luke had a silent temper tantrum and started roughing my dog up, tossing him onto his back to do whatever he had to do next. His behavior was bad enough that the other vet tech in the room actually kicked Luke out of the exam and finished things up without him. She handled the rest of the appointment with grace. I did call and complain a few days later after I had calmed down and the office manager was kind enough to mark our account so Luke would no longer be allowed to touch any of our fur kids. A week later I had to bring our other dog for another appointment and guess who came waltzing into the waiting room with another patient. My stomach instantly started churning. This vet was good, but I can no longer refer them to anyone until this jerk is removed from their employment. Luke has no business working with animals and is a cancer to the practice.

We met Jennifer while she was helping foster a cat we wanted to adopt. Several months later when we…read moreadopted our dog and discovered his nearly debilitating separation anxiety, we asked her for help. She came to our home and helped train him in some basic commands (turns out you *can* teach an old dog new tricks), as well as training us to recognize signs of stress in him and helping us cope with his anxiety. My fiancée had never had a dog before, and even when it looked like we would have to return Tank to the rescue, Jennifer reassured us that things just take time. Finally, through a combination of training with Jennifer and some puppy Prozac (also at Jennifer's suggestion), Tank is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted dog. Also, when we adopted a second cat who did NOT get along with the first cat, Jennifer taught us how to give both cats enough reassurance and sense of safety to make them comfortable with each other. As I write this they're playing together and chasing each other up and down the hall (for such small cats they make a LOT of noise). All of this is to say that without Jennifer we would not be the family that we are. She brought us our first cat, helped us rescue and rehabilitate our dog, and made sure our second cat was safe in our home. We are very grateful to her and would 100% recommend her business to anyone in need of assistance with any pet related issues. She has always been there for us to answer questions or offer support and we can't thank her enough.
