We can't thank Sit Now Stay enough for training our puppies, Scout and Skylar…read more They struggled with pulling on leash walks, easily distracted and also had litter syndrome. I interviewed several dog trainers and Sit Now Stay is the best by far. It started with the free consultation with Brianne. We felt so comfortable and confident with their philosophy and training methods. The training provided the building blocks for the puppies and for us. All the trainers were wonderful. Scout and Skylar worked a lot with Sierra and Laura. We received daily report cards, pictures and videos which helped us stay connected and watch their progress. We were able to visit and see their progress too! Sierra was patient and kind with our lesson to go home. Plus when we called with questions. We highly recommend Sit Now Stay. You will not be disappointed.

The only reason we hired this place and spent almost $1000 was to work on the puppy biting. We were…read moretold they would be giving us a report card everyday on how the training was going. We gave our puppy a bath before going in and he came back smelling AWFUL. Even when we got him at the shelter he didn't smell that bad. So I have no idea how clean their facility actually is because he absolutely stunk every single time he came back from here. They did not work on the biting and did not give us a daily report card. It was a "trust me bruh" but they gave no explanation of what they had worked on whatsoever. When we asked the owner why they were not following through with the agreement made when we hired them, she tried pinning my husband and I against each other gaslighting us saying we didn't communicate together. Her exact quote was "it seems like you and your husband aren't communicating very well". Absolutely crossing the line. . Not only is that completely unprofessional as an owner to question a customer's marriage but to flat out lie is unacceptable. The owner is completely out of line and a scammer. They gave us zero information on what they worked on with our puppy and no report cards. We have no idea what he did all day while in their care. The report card we were told before hiring them would be DAILY. We got Monday's. Tuesday we didn't get one so on Wednesday I mentioned it to the morning staff. He stated they were down a trainer so we would get both today (wednesday). My husband mentioned it to the evening staff at pickup and was told the same thing but stated the delay was due to a sick trainer. Thursday morning we still haven't gotten a report card and haven't been told anything about what has been worked on. The owner tried lying stating they always had told us that we wouldn't be getting daily updates when that is a flat out lie. We had a call with the owner before hiring them where she stated we would be getting daily updates and SHE told us the class she thought would be best based on our goal. I can't stress enough how much of a liar this owner is and now she's trying to twist the narrative. We did not expect perfection we made it very clear we know he's a puppy. However, we have not been told a single thing of what they worked on with our dog. Nor has the biting even slightly gotten better. This was supposed to be a longer course, so the owner falsely framing this as if we expected a magical difference in three days is not only misleading but it is another lie. A complete waste of time and money. Do not recommend. They will tell you what you want to hear then change everything after you pay

Mike at K.I.S.S. Dog training has made a monumental impact not only on our Australian Cattle Dog,…read moreBernie, but our whole family. We started out as a complex case due to Bernie's reactivity towards other people, a variety of objects (mainly those with wheels), hyperactivity, etc. We learned how to keep Bernie under his threshold so he gets to practice good behavior as much as possible. We went through his Babies Don't Bark course and Bernie is now the best older brother to my one month old! I never would have imagined Bernie would be walking next to a stroller or staying calm by lying off to the side when people/dogs pass by but sure enough he's doing it...still with lots of cheese to motivate him :-) Mike helped us get anxiety meds started, which has made a big difference, and has normalized wearing a muzzle! I won't sugar coat the amount of work and patience it takes to keep up on training but it's been worth it. Mike is so responsive in emails (within hours of asking a question) and has lots of YouTube videos and books to help owners. Training a dog is a life long experience! Last year I felt overwhelmed but now I have a better understanding of how to help Bernie in different situations so I feel in control. Special shout-out to Angela for being so helpful with scheduling! Thank you!!

We have used Pete and Max for over 15 years when we went on vacation. I picked up our 3 pups today…read moreand rather than being glad to see me,,,,, they could not wait to get out of there. During their stay, on day 2, I was contacted saying they were out of the food I provided. They are all around 20 lbs, I provided a gallon bag of food with a 1/4 cup scoop to feed then twice a day. They fed them a full cup twice a day,,,,,,,,,,, crazy. They called me saying they were out of the food I provided and asked if I could bring more, Well,,, being 500 miles away and having provided plenty of food my options were to have them feed them their food, which worked out to be fine. I was told they were very sorry and would make it right. I picked them up to day, quoted the full bill,,,, the young gal had no knowledge of the issue, no fault of her own, and she graciously gave me a credit which was great and greatly appreciated. I waited what seemed to be a bit long for my pups to be brought out, the gal that brought then was pretty irritated saying that it was difficult to get them ready to go,,,,,,, really???? I get them home and get ready to feed them only to find out that they did not send one of my older girls medications with us in the bag of other stuff. Wow. I called and they have it and suggested I "swing by" and get it,,,,,,, 40 minute drive. This is way out of character for Pete and Macs, so I had a suspision that there were some major changes,,, and yes,,, they have changed hands. I will be looking for a different place to board my pups when we go on vacation and would encourage others to monitor their experience with Pete and Max.

He listens so well and responds incredibly well to positive reinforcement. We're also so glad he had the opportunity to socialize with other dogs during training. The Gentle Leader has been an absolute game changer on walks, and we're so grateful Lisa introduced us to it. Walks have gone from something I was previously anxious about to one of the best parts of our day. As a first-time dog owner, I needed just as much training as Bennett. Lisa's one-on-one lessons have given me so much confidence, and I truly feel like she's helping Bennett become an amazing addition to our family. I can't recommend her enough.

Not only are both sitters, Emma and Christine, lovely people, they handled Edna in stride. They are awesome about sending texts after every visit and give me updates and details so it never feels like they're just checking a box. Christine has been our go-to and she's just awesome...noticing things like new food bowls and finding nice things to say about my salty Edna. I always look forward to her texts when I'm away. The owner, Jena responds to requests immediately (even when she's on vacation) and never has a problem with last-minute schedule changes. Overall, the level of service is truly exceptional - I highly recommend Newman's if you're looking for someone to take amazing care of your pets while you're away.
