    Canine Peace Of Mind - Ruby working on her down stay in Downtown Wheaton

    Canine Peace Of Mind

    (22 reviews)

    We adopted a female pit bull who came with underlying issues we didn't even realize. We got her…read moreover the holidays when there was always someone home. When we returned to our normal work schedules we would leave her home for 6-7 hours a day. She seemed to be great in her crate or in the kitchen during the day but after a few days she started to wreak havoc in the house. Breaking out of her crate, two couches, tons of poop, and chewed window sills later, we reached out to Kendra and Scott for help. She had separation anxiety and needed to be taught how to be confident in herself again. Our pup went to the two week board and train program and came out a brand new girl. She was confident. She was calm. She was no longer anxious. We can now walk her without a leash if we needed to. She comes when called. Most importantly she doesn't break out of her crate, and finds it as a safe place now. Her training saved her and saved us. Our girl loves being able to visit Kendra every now and then and we have the confidence of boarding her with someone we trust. Someone who plays with our pup. She's not just locked in a crate all day. We are forever grateful for Kendra and Scott. Every single time someone asks how we got our girl to listen to us, or comments on how well behaved she is, we always tell them about Canine Peace of Mind. Any dog we rescue from here on our will take a two week vacation with Kendra and get the training they deserve. We have their advice for life too! Dog eating the cat poop? Called Kendra. New baby coming home? Texted Kendra. Need to make a part of the yard off limits? Kendra was there to answer all of our questions. We highly recommend the training and all services available after training is completed. The training is best thing we could have done for our girl Lola and our family.

    We reached out to Kendra at Canine Peace of Mind after recognizing we had training gaps with our…read moretwo Irish Terriers (1yr & 2yr olds) that we didn't feel we could overcome on our own. We were dealing with food & high value treat /toy aggression, leash & barrier aggressions, and their coming on call (especially when chasing rabbits were more fun situations than coming to mom & dad) was unreliable at best. Enter Kendra at Canine Peace of Mind. Kendra worked with us on the best board & train program for each of them, customizing their 'stay' schedules based on progress and behavioral shifts. We sent both our dogs to CPM from Sept 2018 - Oct 2018. Kendra knows how tough it is to leave your 'kids' for that extended period of time (because she's done it too!) and made sure to send us picture and video updates on how each of them were progressing. Seeing the quick process made the distance so worth it. Fast forward to picking our pups up on handover day and the difference was remarkable. But it was on us to take those skills & discipline home with us. A couple months into having them home (Jan of this year), we recognized we still needed help (user error!) and Kendra did a house call, free of charge, to help us in reigning in & tightening up their training & our/their behaviors. What an immense help as we saw immediate change and are continuing to build that owner/dog trust together. Here's the from / to for our pups and our family: - From never being able to walk in public on a leash for fear of lashing out against another dog (even when across the street) to walking twice a day at heeling position for 2-3 miles a day, despite what we encounter. - From not having reliable recalls in the least, to trusting our dogs (and because we have grown into much more confident dog owners, trusting ourselves) to have them off leash. We love to go get the mail, take out the trash, etc. together with our dogs. - From breakfast & dinner times being HORRIBLE experiences due to fighting, low growling, & crate checking to having peaceful feeding times. - From having no control during high energy times to having a tool & command for them to go to a dedicated 'place' in any room to calm down and give each other (and us) space. I could go on. But what I would say is if you are encountering any of the above issues, please consider Canine Peace of Mind and their board & train programs. As working professionals that knew we didn't have the time or expertise to dedicate in order to get our pups where they needed to be, we are so happy we did. It has transformed the time we get to all spend together from dread to time that we look forward to because it's happy & enjoyable (which is why we all got these guys in the first place, am I right?). They also offer day care & boarding. We have taken them up on boarding a few times as we know that they get a bit more attention than any standard boarding and they are held accountable to their training just as much there as they are at home.

    I visited and interviewed the owners of four Dog Day Cares in the area before making a decision on…read morethe best facility for our new puppy. Although three of the four facilities we visited are much closer to our home, Top Dog Retreat won our vote by a long shot. They won the first impression vote when I walked in and saw that it was the most clean, and professional-yet-welcoming facility of the four I visited. The staff responded to me promptly and they were happy to give me a tour and explain their philosophy of providing quality care, play and learning opportunities that they provide each day for each and every dog. It was clear that they have a well-trained staff who love what they do, and really enjoy and know each and every dog in their care. It has been nine months since that first visit and our puppy has been going to Top Dog every day, Monday through Friday, since then, and we couldn't be happier! Our puppy drags us in each morning, so he is clearly happy and well-cared for. The staff knows our puppy well, and they really see the training of our puppy, even through the challenging times, as a partnership. We couldn't be happier with Top Dog Retreat!

    Owner has been ignoring me after I picked up my dogs. It is Wednesday afternoon and I asked for a…read morecallback early Monday morning. The general manager also said he would have her call me within the hour at 11am today. It is approaching 2pm. After 10 days of boarding two small dogs, one of my dogs has a wound infection on her side. I noticed it today after some of the scabbing started to bleed. I reached out AGAIN and spoke with the general manager. He's basically not taking any ownership of the issue and has excuses/reasons for all concerns I disclose. There was no sympathy or apology for what happened to my dog until I pointed it out to him. After I mentioned the lack of concern, there was an abundance of apologies and all kinds of concern. His priority was being on the defense and saying that it couldn't have happened during their time at Camp Bow Wow. This assumption was based on approximately 2 hours of reviewing camera footage and asking a handful of camp counselors who were currently working. Still waiting on the owner to call me. 7/25/19 11:00 am Update: The owner Linda finally returned my call this morning. Needless to say, it did not go well. Not once did she ask about how my dog was doing...even after I called her out on it. The comment she posted on Yelp was the first time she offered an apology. I had to ask for everything I prepaid, but she has not yet paid it like she noted. She said she will call me when the check is available to be picked up on her time schedule and at a different location. My Vet has not sent me her medical analysis yet. I told Linda that I wanted a chance to review it first when she asked me for permission to contact the vet. I'm not sure why she wants it anyway since she explained that is is extremely rare that they pay a vet bill. And for the record, I never asked them to pay my vet bill . For some reason Linda and the GM kept saying they won't. Still waiting on a call from Linda about picking up my check. (My money for services not yet used.)
