    My sick baby

    I've taken my goldens here before with no problem. Left them for three days and they came back sick. Double ear and eye infections with green pus in the eye. The next day after a $700 vet visit, the other dog got the same infection. Just total denial from them that they were sick, they didn't seem to be to concerned and got defensive. I'm heartbroken about this. My dogs have never been sick. They said it must have come from "my yard". Nope. They were perfectly healthy prior to boarding. Now they are barely moving around and I have to sedate one every day twice a day, just to get the eye drops in. He's in so much pain he won't let us get close to him. I hate leaving negative reviews because I know it affects business, but they need to be a little more compassionate and a lot less defensive. I hope they have checked all the dogs in their care for this infection. I understand that dogs sometimes get sick at kennels... the careless response I got from them was the kicker. Try some compassion. Our pets are family members around here. UPDATE: the other dog is now sick with the same symptoms. Took him to the vet and he also had ear and eye infections. Vet said it is not contagious, but something they got their faces into while boarding. I'm confused and at a loss. Like I said, they were healthy when dropped off. What a horrible, expensive experience.

    They don't charge extra for playtime or even medicating your dog if needed while you're away like other kennels do.

    Josh has been such a help to our family! His stance on how to train was the perfect fit for us. We…read morebrought one of our dogs to Josh when we believed our dog was showing aggression signs. He quickly was able to identify that our dog wasn't aggressive, there was dynamics playing out in house between all dogs that created a level of tension. He provided us with tools to diffuse the house when we noticed signs that he identified that would lead to a scuffle. We saw no further aggressive behaviors from any of our dogs. One of dogs has never listened to any commands. One hour with Josh and she was trained on how to sit, lay down, and "place" with hand motions only! He has opened our eyes to the unending ways we can work with her. I can't thank him enough. Both dogs are now friendly with each other and we have had no further issues in our home. I highly recommend K9 Optima for anyone experiencing aggression issues. He is kind, compassionate, and truly does this to enrich the lives of the dogs he works with.

    Josh is a genuinely kind person with a heart of gold, but based on our experience, I would not…read morerecommend him as a dog trainer. We paid over $6,000 for a one-month board-and-train program for our German Shepherd. One of the first things that concerned us was that he told us he had "his dogs" teaching our dog how to be a dog. We expected that, for the price, our dog would receive consistent, hands-on training from the trainer himself. Because the training took place over the Christmas holidays, it felt like our dog did not receive the level of attention and daily training we had anticipated. We also expected that, at the end of the program, we as the owners would receive several training sessions to learn how to maintain and reinforce the work at home. That never happened. When our dog came home, she was still reactive, continued chewing things as she had before, and overall showed little to no improvement. Josh gave us a spray collar (citronella or a similar scent) and instructed us to use it whenever she barked. I wasn't comfortable using it because it felt like it addressed the symptoms rather than the underlying behavior, so I chose not to use it. He also suggested that she was simply too active and that we should consider rehoming her if we couldn't handle her. That advice turned out to be completely wrong for our dog. Afterward, we worked with a local trainer for three months who focused on daily, balanced, hands-on training for both our dog and us--without spray collars or gimmicks. The transformation was remarkable. Her reactivity is gone, she learned how to behave appropriately, and we realized she wasn't "too active" at all. She was simply a family dog who needed consistent guidance and proper training. Looking back, I feel that the board-and-train program was not worth the money we paid. While Josh was always pleasant and well-intentioned, our experience was that the program did not deliver the training or results we were promised. Don't waste your money. Josh may be a great guy to rescue dogs, but in our experience he does not know how to do reactivity training or work alongside owners to change challenging behaviors.
