This is a mixed review. We adopted a dog from a shelter and I wanted him to have training. I called…read moreand spoke to someone on the phone and enrolled him in beginner basic obedience. Called and paid over the phone and emailed Vax records. The night of the first class. My dog growled and barked at other dogs and was pulling as I restrained him. The worker sprayed him. More dogs arrived and same issue. We only had him 2 weeks. The trainer said our dog is not a good fit and we could call and get a refund and do private lessons. I cried driving back home thinking either I am a failure or my dog is. They did handle this properly and discretely. I did get a refund.

She met us when our Aussie was 8 weeks, and now at 12 weeks has continued to provide us with support and methods that is amazing to see the puppy respond to.

I have seen multiple people's comments deleted from their Facebook page if anyone questioned anything they didn't want to address since this email. Such a slap in the face to customers who have been going here for years. Below is the email I received in March in quotes and my responses with a dash: "As most of you are aware the economy is getting tighter everyday. Lack of employees, trucking issues, over seas shipping issues, upcoming elections, and of course higher taxes." -- The economy is better now than it was a year ago... Why was this mentioned?? This feels like you're perpetuating a certain narrative like it's the economy's fault for the below issues. -- Trucking / over seas shipping issues... To me this should only impact INVENTORY, so if you're out of something then you're out of something. What happens when a pet store doesn't have my dogs food? I go to another until I find the specific brand that I need. -- Upcoming elections... YEP! I totally see why that would impact a dog kennel business Say no more, makes total sense to me. I assume the prices would magically lower if Trump was in office, huh? "The cost of employees has increased considerably over the last two years. We are so indebted to staff and want to keep the staff we have as they are excellent and we could not be more proud of the team we have built." -- I don't know what to say about this, every time I drop off my dog there's high schoolers working and likely an adult at the front counter.. "Raising pricing across the board to accommodate the increases is where we find ourselves. We hope that by offering specials and the memberships that some of the increases will be offset for many of our regular clients." -- If you're raising prices you MUST be raising wages too right? Because if not this is coming across as any other greedy business trying to squeeze the people of every dollar and cent they can. Multiple people have asked this on Facebook and they have chosen to delete the comment instead of respond. -- The membership... this is outrageously priced for what you're getting, these prices don't include regular boarding so I really don't know how anyone is expected to save anything unless you're regularly taking your dog to this kennel most days out of the week. "We appreciate your understanding and dedication to our business." -- I do not understand at all, this email made you loose me as a customer... One thing I appreciate about Dog Day Getaway, an Apple Valley Competitor, is their transparency to their customers.

We did some research, and although there's companies out there that all sound like they do the same thing, I can tell you, they don't. From the moment I spoke to the Hidden Fence Of people I knew that they were customer service oriented. They came out the very next day and dropped some line around the perimeter of the house, even though there was 2 feet of snow. And they will be back to bury it come spring time. The gentleman that came out and spent about an hour working with me on training. It was very easy, and within about a month my dog was off leash and not venturing out of the yard anymore. One of the concerns I had going in was that would the collar be painful for my dog. So I tried it out on my self and it is basically nothing more than a vibration and not a painful shock which I think other companies use. As my dog approaches the perimeter, there is a beeping sound and vibration, and right away he knew that he has gone too far. Now after a solid month, it is so apparent that he knows the boundary, So happy to have made this choice.

I appreciated that this was a family owned business and the workers were professional. After our consultation they gave me time to think about the proposal:price. The next day I called to approve my consent. They showed 2 days later to complete the work. They trained my dog and then myself the skills to teach her about the limits of the boundaries. They assured and emailed me daily with support. They even came back and retaught me the skills for training my dog. Their guarantee and warranty was what helped me make the decision to buy and go with their team. They arrived on time and after installing they had me down load the app which was invaluable. I was glad that I chose Hidden Fence of Minnesota. Steve S., Saint Paul, MN

(Stray Cat Strut) Huge thank you to Last Hope for taking in the sweetest stray cat that wandered into my care, strutting right by with her tail in the air in December. She was too much of a princess to get her dinner from a garbage can, or get a shoe thrown at her from a mean old man! Red Wing doesn't have animal control, and all local shelters were full. The foster-based Camp Companion rescue also never responded back after I filled out their online form...so the situation was getting desperate! Last Hope became my literal last hope, responding immediately that they would be able to place her in foster care after being vetted at a clinic in Burnsville. I was so impressed with their communication and caring--I can't recommend them highly enough! They really do have cat class and cat style!

They are an incredible organization full of caring people that want to make the best match for the animals in their care. Thank you.
