When we adopted our puppy, Ellie, at 14 weeks old, we were so overwhelmed. We went to a consult at…read morelife is dog. Our consult was with Nance, and she was very patient in explaining the process and talking us through some initial things that we were struggling with. Then, we started with a training package that included 3 private training classes and 2 months of group obedience classes. We also went to a few puppy kindergarten classes. Nicole did the majority of our trainings and she has been a god-sent. She is very good with the dogs, and her energy level makes the training classes fun both for us and our dog. We learned a lot from Nicole and she helped us to feel a lot less stressed out and actually enjoy the puppyhood. The obedience class is set up like a monthly subscription, where you can go to as many classes as you want. We end up going about 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes, as it is a great activity to mentally exercise our dog and provide socialization while working alongside other dogs. We also started bringing our dog to their dog day camp 2x a week. Tim was also very patient in explaining the process. The dog day camp has been great in getting her to play with other dogs and allows her to learn obedience from others aside from us.

It's remarkable to see the progress that they make with her and how much they enjoy their training sessions! Nance adapts her training sessions to the needs of the individual dog and she is quick to assess how they learn best. She is always patient, kind, and encouraging. We are so lucky to have her expertise, she has changed the lives of so many dogs!

I was there a few weeks ago in hopes of…read moresupporting a smaller business that I was hoping was what It claimed to be, it wasn't at all. the kangaroos have a pathetic sign infront claming "we are happy!!" well it's apparent they are not?? so that's a very lame excuse. I have 3 guinea pigs and was HORRIFIED about both enclosures for them, somehow they made petco look good. which we all know isn't. If this owner really does have any knowledge is zoology then i guess I can be an astronaut because I watched a space movie and enjoy looking at stars. this isn't a rescue, this is a hell. We weren't there when the monkey was out but seeing the tiny shed looking environment for it was saddening. they had gators piled in a pond with another sign claiming it was okay. they had giant snakes that couldn't even stretch or move. they had exotic pets with terrible enclosures. I feel bad for the workers that can't fix it because of this stubborn and quite clearly rude owner. So before the owner drops a hate comment on my insanely honest review, how about you put that net worth to use . Very sad to see this wasn't an animal rescue I was really hoping to see, with the 15 guinea pigs crammed in a tiny cage with no enrichment or anywhere to hide :( better luck bringing your family to any other rescue facility. stop ignoring the reviews and go change these animal lives for the better!! who would lie about bad conditions?? I only have the animals best interest in my heart. And no i don't have thousands to donate but the owner needs to do something!

I had more anticipation…read moreabout taking him to the doctor than I do about myself... they were very nice from the very beginning, clearly informative and professional, and answered any and all of my questions, even through my hyper feelings about being at the doctor and not knowing much about my pets needs.. There was a vet tech there named Brendan I believe who did the blood test and other tests necessary along with a treatment... he was calm and friendly, and assured me that everything went great.. Consistent with the reviews I read this is a great vet service.. I would highly recommend this veterinarian hospital to anybody.. thanks for all your help

She was very open about the process, answered all my questions patiently. She gave me a a list of locations that is within driving distance but was open if I wanted a place of my own choosing. I'm glad I chose one of the places she shared, she knew hwere to go, and good places to take the pics. At our appointment, she came on time and was very well-prepared. My dog had such a good time during our session, and I did too. when the photos came, the result was amazing, and selecting them and getting the digital copies was a breeze.

I cannot praise Dog Proof Photography enough- they are AMAZING. At first, I was just playing with…read morethe idea of getting my dog, Ruth, photographed. Deciding whether or not it was worth the money, time, effort, etc. Clearly I decided to do it and let me tell you- IT WAS 100% WORTH IT ALL. I didn't have any idea where to go to take photos- so Dog Proof set up an absolute perfect array of places to take her. We went to wide open fields, beautiful lakes, graffiti walls, bridges- it was quiet the adventure. Ruth had a blast! Unlike most photo studios, Dog Proof let Ruth be a dog. They captured her jumping for her tennis ball, digging in the sand, exploring the woods. Every single photo showcased Ruth having the time of her life, enjoying being a dog. Not to mention, Ang is not afraid to get muddy! She got in the dirt to take half of our photos- getting the best of Ruth's angles! It was incredible to see her work!! When the photos came back, we were stunned. These photos will last a lifetime, moments that I could never have captured on my own, that are hanging on our walls forever. I can't thank Dog Proof enough for giving my family such a beautiful gift. If you're on the fence about getting your pups photographed- I suggest you do it! You won't regret it at all if you use Dog Proof. (AND your dog will be happy you chose them too- Ruth left the shoot exhausted with lots of cheese & meat in her belly!)

You'd think when you book an appointment, show up on time that they would put your dog on the table and start with the nail trim and wash. No as I walked out the door almost closed behind me I hear "put her in the cage" So Instead of leaving I waited knowing I was going to get a phone call. Not 5 minutes later "could you come pick her up" hmm I wonder why? I said not to put her in a cage, but that was flown over their heads because they do not care. I highly recommend you take your dog somewhere else because this place is a joke. I typically use a mobile groomer but he was unavailable, I thought this would have been a quick easy service but was not. Hire people that are capable of their jobs. I've never booked an appointment to get my hair cut where I had to go wait in a cage. I'm sat down right away because I booked the hair dresser for a specific time like I did for my dog. Do better!!! And no where on your website says that they go in cages.
