I took a class last winter, hopefully this teacher is no longer there. She was young. I was not…read moreimpressed because she wasn't focused on her students. I should have asked for my money back. She often rushed through things. She didn't have an awareness of how to teach human adults, by saying something , show something, say it again in a different way, show it again slowly. She said it once, showed it quickly then expected us to do it. She would show something, then have us go do it while she talked with her friends she brought in. She didn't pay attention to her students. She only offered help when I was struggling if I asked for her help, she didn't notice when people were struggling. She was stern and not approachable. She said she had lots of experience training. Perhaps that was true but she needs to work on people skills to be a group dog trainer. This intro class was designed to rush us through a program of a bunch of different things every time so that maybe we felt we learned a lot and got our moneys worth, rather than make sure we had important things down really well. The instructor said that after we finished the class we could come in for open play. I called and left a message about this twice but no one called me back. The place was freezing cold in the winter and smelly. I've heard other people like this place, but I won't go back. I also read the review about a woman abusing a dog here and people being rude. Big fat NO.

She was always a sweet girl, but overly excited to the point of annoyance. Now she is sweet, loving and a joy to be around. Thank you, CLC for bringing out the best in my girl!

It's only a YEAR later that I'm getting around to writing this review, and the experience with this company still makes me tear up, with gratitude! As a first-time client, I had some special requests, like keeping my dog's body for a few days while I finalized ideas for memorabilia. They honored my wishes with such grace and compassion. When I needed an urn, they went above and beyond, showing me their inventory so I could select the perfect one, as each wood option was uniquely cut and meaningful. Their attention to detail and genuine care for my situation made such a difference. Despite my attempts to give them a cash tip as a thank-you, they kindly refused and asked that I leave a review instead. So here it is (a YEAR later): Caring Pathways offers incredible service with a truly compassionate touch. I can't recommend them enough. The vet, Kaity, and her assistant that came to help us were just as much of a blessing as the ladies at the mortuary. You're all just the most extraordinary team of humans!! Thank you, again!!!! With love, from Teresa & Bourbon.

I wish I could go back and choose differently…read more We enrolled our rescue dog in the board and train program in 2024. He came from the shelter with clear signs of separation anxiety, hypervigilance, and what looked like the emotional scars of past abuse. We truly wanted to help him adjust and feel safe, so we trusted this program to set him on the right path. But looking back, I regret it. My first red flag came during a visit when I noticed a bite wound on his foreleg. I was told he'd been placed in a pen with one of the trainer's personal dogs--who attacked him. My dog had always been social and dog-friendly, so this felt like an avoidable situation. She was treating the wound, but I left feeling uneasy. Then came the Fourth of July. I got a message saying we could pick him up early--a full week early--because she was heading out of town. She said someone would be there to feed him, but he wouldn't be training anymore. That alone was disappointing, but we figured if he was "ready," we'd make the most of it. When we picked him up, he was only responding to commands about 75% of the time. I assumed he was just overstimulated from seeing us again. But over the next few days, things got worse. Despite carefully following the training notes we were given, our dog regressed significantly. He became more anxious, more reactive, and less responsive than before the program. Now, over a year later, he still reliably responds only to "sit"--which I taught him. "Lay down" works about half the time. Every other command? Gone. Later, when I shared my experience with others in the community, I learned I wasn't alone. Two separate people knew exactly which dog had bitten mine before I even said the name. One had a similar experience with that same dog; the other knew someone who had. That told me everything I needed to know. We paid $2,500, and in the end, my dog came home more anxious and less trusting of other dogs. I wish I could say otherwise, but I wouldn't recommend this program. On paper, it looks great. In practice, the local community seems to know better. I only wish I'd asked around before enrolling. Please do your research, and trust your gut.

The Lisa Rockland Method is the way to go! I have a one year old, intact male Weimaraner. I was…read morestruggling with training him to be calm and act appropriately when people would enter the house. He jumped, ran circles around them, became extremely hyper, and barked aggressively (even at people that live in the house with us). In addition to that, he was a little skittish in general and is still very nervous around other dogs. Lisa came to my home and the training began immediately. She was only there for an hour, but Lisa is so intuitive to dogs' individual personalities that the insight she provided gave me the tools I needed to correct the behaviors. There are a lot of opinions and dog trainers out there; using other methods, training took me weeks, and months to even see a slight change in the behaviors I was trying to correct. It has only been a few days since Lisa came for training, but his behavior and demeanor has drastically improved, and he is actually responding to what I teaching him! I am looking forward to continuing my training with Lisa in her Behavior 101 class to improve his approach to other dogs, and my ability to be an effective and responsible dog owner. Lisa has given me the confidence and the tools to be the best dog owner I can be. She is the ONLY dog trainer I would recommend, and the only one I will use in the future. Thanks, Lisa!

When we first adopted Sammy, a young male Malamute, we had our work cut out for us. Sammy was…read moreinherently a good tempered dog, but was toy aggressive, prone to marking in the house, and had separation anxiety. Sally came to our house, spoke with us about our training goals, and developed a plan using techniques that were comfortable for us. In a few sessions, Sammy's problematic behavior disappeared and he is currently extremely well adjusted and very bonded to us. As our goals evolved, Sally invited us to her fenced property to work on recall in a distracting but safe environment. That, too, has gone extremely well! As a veterinarian, I appreciate Sally's approach to "training the trainer" and her ability to adapt to each dog and owner, as well as the unique relationship between the two. Sally's expertise is immediately evident though she is relatable and fun. She is highly professional and an excellent communicator. We are grateful to have found her and will continue to recommend True Potential K9 to my friends and colleagues!
