Jackpawt's Happy Place…read more Since 2024, All Stage Canine Development has been like a second home for Jackpawt. Jackpawt, the Lucky Pup, on Amazon. https://a.co/d/02GVaEH8 Grooming day isn't just about looking handsome--it's one of Jackpawt's favorite adventures! Before Deena works her grooming magic, we always book him an hour of playtime, and sometimes another hour afterward because he just can't get enough. He absolutely loves the staff, zooming around with his furry friends like a little rocket. What makes All Stage so special isn't just the grooming, daycare, training, or pet store. It's the people. Every staff member is friendly, patient, gentle, and genuinely loves dogs. They treat every pup as if it were their own. They're one of those hidden gems tucked away in a busy strip mall, so if you blink, you might drive right past them. That's exactly why I wanted to share this post. Businesses like this deserve to be discovered, and fellow dog parents deserve to know there's a place where their pups will be loved, trained, groomed, cared for, and have the time of their lives. Thank you, Deena and the entire All Stage family, for making every visit such a wonderful experience for Jackpawt. We appreciate all that you do!

We have a pure bred Catahoula who is "spirited and dominant" or tries to be the latter. We have had…read more3 sessions with Nick, owner of Consistent K9, and what huge difference we already seen in our Houla (often known as Houlagans because boy do they test you). Now, our Houla has gone through basic obedience training a while back and knows commands, but just is a bit "independent" at times and it can be challenging. Nick was able to guide us on how to train our Houla, using verbal commands, non- verbal hand commands, available tools, and his vast experience. I swear he is a dog whisperer. Please remember, YOU have to do the work too. You cannot expect anyone to train up your dog and not put in the required effort to maintain and reinforce the training. We have been guilty of that in the past too. No more though! Our desire is to have a well trained k9, who consistently follows commands and is a valued part of our family pack. We believe in Nick to much that 1) we will enroll our Houla in additional programs Consistent K9 has to offer and 2) have already refused to be poached by another trainer! We are so pleased with how the training is going and with Consistent K9. Thank you Nick!!

I've had dogs my whole life but I've never seriously trained them. I've regretted that and this…read moretime around, I decided I would do some kind of real training, for both myself and my new dog (Husky/German Shepard mix, rescue from SSPCA). I found Nick (ConsistentK9) online. He had a lot of experience and great reviews so I thought, let's do this! I signed up for the 10 week program. Wow am I glad I did! Nick is a natural with dogs and makes it all look so easy, and with Mika being a high energy, smart, pushy pup, I thought Nick had his work cut out for him. Not for Nick. She loved him and responded well to him. Just as important, Nick is also great with people and communicates very well, helping you learn and understand what you're doing (or not doing) without rubbing you the wrong way. He's great to work with and a real pleasure to learn from. The techniques and methods I learned from Nick are priceless! My program was not only about training Mika, but also me. The skills Nick taught me I will continue to use as I work with Mika over the next few months and years. I highly recommend Nick and Consistent K9!!

We met with Weston for her assessment and during that 30 minutes we gained several valuable insights and were able to start working on a couple things. Since then, we had him out to the house for training and with his help our doggo is no longer running out the door. She is even staying in the garage with the door open. We are still working on certain distractions but it's so much better. The instructions were clear and simple. We also did a day of doggie daycare which she seemed to really enjoy and we got some cute pictures. Would definitely recommend.

I can't say enough good things about Canine Purpose. I've been boarding my dog, Titan, here for a…read morewhile now, and it is such a relief to have a place where I know he is truly well-cared for. As someone who travels frequently, finding a boarding facility that I can trust implicitly is a top priority. The team at Canine Purpose clearly understands dogs and treats Titan like one of their own. Every time I drop him off, I feel confident that he's in a safe, engaging, and professional environment. Titan always comes back happy and healthy, which is the best testament to the quality of care they provide. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality boarding service for your pup, I highly recommend giving them a call. (Add on some grooming or training to the boarding - great having a clean fluffy Great Pyrenees at pick-up)

My wife and I were searching for a dog trainer form our 4 year old Frenchie rescue named Benny…read more Benny is awesome on walks but does not like people he doesn't know when we have them over to the house. What we loved about Wag Time and Don (owner and trainer) is that he does not use treats or shock. He employs voice and leash control. In reality Don trains YOU how to train! Honestly I was a skeptic! BUT we saw IMMEDIATE improvement during the very first lesson!! We have had 6 lessons so far, and Benny has come a long way! Life changing for us! Meet Don once and you will feel the same we do about him, his techniques, and his love for what he does!

Don is magical! At our first meeting, he had our sweet pit bull sitting and walking calmly on a…read moreleash, where he had been flying us behind him like a kite. I'm now finally able to go on a nice walk with my dog Waffles and enjoy it with him walking calmly by my side. I can't recommend Don enough. We've gone through Petsmart several times and hired other trainers and no one has come close to comparing to these results.

I have used other trainers in the past and this is by far the most progress I have seen out of my dog, Skippy. Before skippy was always pulling on her leash but now is starting to walk by my side. We have done about 3 classes so far and plan to do more! I can't wait to see how much further skippy can advance. Reminder you also have to put in the work. It can't all be on the trainers. :) I try my best to do my dog homework before next sessions.

Very Disappointed With the Service…read more We first brought our puppy here for her first vaccine, but no one explained to us that she needed to return for a second vaccination. We only found this out when we brought her back in July for her rabies vaccine. At that appointment, we were told that her first vaccine had already expired and that we would have to start the vaccination process again. She received her first vaccine again along with her rabies vaccine, and we were specifically told that she needed to return on August 6 for her second shot. We registered her on August 3 for the August 6 vaccination clinic between 3-5 PM and received a confirmation. However, when we arrived with our puppy, the staff member told us that she was not registered for that day. This has been extremely frustrating. First, we were not properly informed about the required second vaccine, which caused her original vaccination to expire. Then, after following their instructions and registering for the next appointment--and even receiving confirmation--we arrived only to be told that she was not registered. Very poor communication and organization. When it comes to a puppy's vaccinations, owners should be given clear instructions and confirmed appointments should be honored. I would not recommend this place based on our experience.

I could not recommend Kait more! She is professional, knows her stuff, and you leave every training…read moresession feeling empowered with the right tools to work on whatever behavior you need. She gives you clear, actionable steps & the results make life with our pup so much easier. She has been immensely helpful in helping us train our 8 month old dog since we got her at 8 weeks. 100% hands down the best money we've spent on our dog is getting Kait as our trainer!

Let me be clear, Kait is a miracle worker. No joke…read more We were looking for a dog trainer because our 1.5 year old pup had several bad habits we wanted to break. He pulled to an insane degree when we went on walks, he was prone to darting out the front door, and he jumped up on guests when they came to our house. Leash manners were my primary concern because sometimes our elderly family members liked to walk my dog, and I was afraid that the dog would pull so hard they would fall and injure themselves. I interviewed multiple reputable dog trainers in the area, but Kait was the only one who listened to my primary concerns and said she would address those right off the bat. The others seemed to have a pre-designed series of lessons and were not willing to deviate. To be clear, my husband had incredibly low expectations for dog training. He thought that our dog was so stubborn (he is) and his hunting instincts were so ingrained (they are) that he would always pull on a leash to keep sniffing for prey. My husband was convinced that this would be a waste of time and money. Kait came to our house for our first private lesson, and it's an understatement to say our expectations were low. Kait observed us interact with our dog, and even coined the term "sled dog" when watching him pull as we walked him down the street. She showed us some leash drills and then had us practice with him. By the end of the hour long lesson, the pulling was significantly better. Not gone, but it made it where we weren't using our body weight to hold him back just to get to the end of the block. I was impressed, but my husband was still skeptical. We ended up doing a total of 8 private lessons with Kait, and my dog's behavior has changed monumentally. We can walk him with a loose leash, and only a few occasional reminders during our walks. When he sees other dogs, he stares at them, but he doesn't try to lunge at them to play. If our front door is open, he stays back and doesn't dart away. He also rarely jumps up on people now. Most notably, after just a few lessons, my husband became an ardent believer in Kait's amazing dog training abilities. He now agrees that hiring Kait was one of the best things we did for our dog and our peace of mind. If I could give Kait 10 stars, I would! I have recommended her to as many people as I could, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again. With Kait's help, you absolutely will be amazed by your dog's improvement. Hire this woman before her schedule books up!

We had such a great experience working with Anthony! We have a Cane Corso puppy Jax and from the…read morevery beginning Anthony was knowledgeable and made training easy to understand. He took the time to explain not only what to do but why it works, which helped us feel much more confident continuing the training at home. We've already seen a huge improvement in Jax's behavior after Anthony's 3 week board and training program. He now heels and walks right next to us instead of constantly tugging on the leash, which has made walks so much more enjoyable. He's also much calmer, listens so much better, and is overall becoming a well behaved puppy. It's clear Anthony genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and wants both the puppy and the owner to succeed. We truly appreciate Anthony's help!

We had such a great experience with Anthony and Powerhouse K9! We sent our puppy through their…read more3-week puppy program, and we honestly couldn't be happier with the results. Before training, our puppy was sweet and full of energy, but he was SO easily distracted. We would actually be nervous about bringing him places because we weren't sure how well he would listen with everything going on around him. Since coming home, we've seen such a huge improvement in his obedience and ability to focus, even when we're out in public. It's made us so much more comfortable and confident taking him places with us. One thing we really appreciated was that Anthony kept us updated throughout the program and provided us with training videos of our puppy as the weeks went by. It was so nice being able to see his progress while he was away and see what he was learning along the way. Anthony also did a great job teaching us how to continue the training at home. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and wants the training to carry over into everyday life. Another huge plus for us is that Anthony also offers boarding. Knowing that we have someone we already trust who understands our puppy and his training gives us so much peace of mind. If we ever decide to take a vacation, we know we can leave him in good hands and not have to worry about who is caring for him. We're so happy we chose Powerhouse K9 and would absolutely recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a trainer. Our puppy came home more obedient, more focused, and with skills we can continue building on. Thank you, Anthony and Powerhouse K9, for taking such good care of our boy!

Last week, I went to Pet Express to find something for my dog. The staff there was so helpful and…read moreknowledgeable and she knew how frustrated I was. I even asked her to babysit real quick while I grabbed food next door. When I came back, the staff suggested that I contact Aaron from Intuitive Dog Training. Boy am I glad I did. I just had a puppy training with Aaron and boy am I psyched to practice what I learned. Aaron was so patient while he answered all my questions. He was also so focused on me and the dog. I was so impressed with his knowledge and creativeness. I took notes and all I need to do is purchase a few dog toys (teething kind), sod, bell, etc. I am enrolling in the puppy training course and also the adult courses. His price is amazingly affordable. You should definitely contact him or attend his classes. I definitely recommend Aaron.

I do not recommend Intuitive dog training for aggressive dogs…read more I adopted a pit bull from the shelter and did not want to take her out into public until I worked with a trainer at home. Aaron came to my house and introduced our dogs by having them meet and walk past each other. My dog was clearly agitated but didn't growl. Within minutes my dog and his German Shepard got into a fight. He clearly did NOT know what do (neither did I, that's why I hired a professional) and told me to "stick my finger in her butt" (this doesn't work, in case you were wondering). It was traumatizing for both me and my dog who has now been set back in her training and is even more untrusting of other dogs. There was a hose about 3 feet away from us but hindsight is 20/20. He does not believe in prong collars but may want to reconsider for certain dogs.
