The on site manager is wonderful, easy to work with and if there are any issues/repairs, he is on top of it immediately! I highly recommend this facility for boarding or equestrian events as they have 2 indoor arenas, one that is very large and a smaller one, lots of trailer parking and they even have a separate area with about 100 stalls for overnight stays.

The pasture areas where food and water are supplied are knee-deep in mud, affecting welfare of…read moreanimals. Owner of property claimed there's nothing that can be done about the mud, despite having other pastures available or at the very least being able to rotate hay/water to a new location in the same pasture. I removed my own horses yesterday due to conditions and resulting injury, but saw the same health impact on other horses kept in the same large pasture: severe mud fever (open sores, swollen legs, violent trembling, severe lameness), resulting in inability to access the only water that was not frozen over and hay pile kept in one deep-mud location. I discovered that my horses were dehydrated and starving, and at least one will now have to receive critical vet care for recovery. The manager/caregivers allegedly provides hay/grain/water twice daily; at a minimum, their neglect to respond to the obvious distress of the horses calls into question the providing of this basic daily care. Despite obvious suffering and injury, I was not notified, which means either they failed to notice (!) or they don't care (!!)

I have since moved on from Rally Obedience to also agility training. I've taken group classes, workshops, and private instruction and I'm thrilled with how my dog has progressed in the sport.

I can't wait to try more classes and keep expanding my training in different sports!

She's the best obedience trainer I've ever worked with. She has helped me and my Pap mix so much. She made me feel right at home with George. We've gone to her class twice and we may go for a third time because we're still working on his fear aggression. ARF offers wonderful agility and obedience classes. Agility is a great way to bond with your dog and have some fun at the same time. Whenever someone asks about a good place for obedience training or agility, I always talk about ARF. Can you tell I'm a fan? :)

Dreams On Horseback is a nonprofit organization that offers interaction and riding experiences with…read moretheir horses and students and adults of all ages with multiple handicaps. Their horses mostly come from retirement or were rescued from poor situations. The staff spends lots of time training and working with the horses how to interact with people of varying disabilities. Our spec. ed class will be visiting for the day once a month throughout the this school year, and they seem to be loving it. Besides getting to ride around the stable, thus far, they've bathed, fed and learned to approach and walk beside a horse. The grounds are nice - not huge, but a good use of space. There's bathrooms and a space with tables and a fridge for eating our packed lunches. The staff is really, really well aware of the horses and the different spec. ed groups that come. They have done a fantastic job explaining and interacting with the students! I think it's awesome how DOH is reaching out to special needs people of all ages, and giving them a chance to learn new skills that they can use in their daily life.

He was an absolute mess of anxiety and that is where Buckeye Dog Training came in and succeeded wildly. For our trainer we had Molly, who was beyond professional, showed up to all of our appointments on time and with her lessons prepared. She gave us clear, direct tips and taught exactly what we had to do to help our dog. Not only that but she was a sweetheart that legitimately cared about our dog's well-being and mental state. For five lessons stretched over 4 months, we crate trained, leash trained, learned 6-8 new commands that help our dog understand what we expect of him. We completely broke him of his separation anxiety and now WILLINGLY goes into his crate before we leave for work. I recommend dog training to everyone. I believe it is an integral part of sharing your home with a dog, someone that depends on you to take care of it and to teach it what is right and wrong within your home. Buckeye Dog Training and Molly specifically were great, worth the price 100%, and we feel secure that if anything where to ever happen with Rory's training, Molly would be there and help out in anyway she can. If you've got a grumpy dog, get it trained and get it trained by these guys. They're great.

My…read moreson, Nate, started fencing at this club almost a year ago and has progressed from a novice to an experienced fencer. With the help of his coach, Julia Mills, he has broken out of his shell and is now comfortable fencing on his own at various tournaments. The coaches here are always willing to take time out of their lessons to give direct guidance to the students. There are numerous events that are sponsored here and the main weapons are Epee, Foil, Saber, Hema, and even light saber battles. This is a great group of people running this organization and they are super helpful with deciding what weapon and path you should be taking. Your primary weapon choice is made after your first couple of lessons trying out various weapons. I highly recommend this fencing club!

I have to admit, when I saw a groupon for "Lightsaber Fencing", I wasn't sure what to expect, but I…read morethought it would be interesting. Turns out I was right! Royal Arts hosts several forms of bladed combat instruction - including Olympic fencing (one of the owners is a former Olympic coach!), saber, epee, heavier historical weapon combat, and now, yes, Lightsabers! No, we haven't cut our limbs off. The students train with weighted PVC weapons, and safety equipment is provided, including gloves, chest protectors, and fencing hoods. So far we've gotten a great deal of group instruction on stances, grips, and movement, with personal attention from the instructor or his assistants when needed. Oh, and students also get a certain amount of sparring time - that means getting to hit each other. :) (Making "Swoosh" noises is optional, but recommended!) In addition to classes, Royal Arts also features open gym time and 1 on 1 instruction sessions. Just call ahead to see what is available!

I called to enroll in the classes, but found that online was the preferred method. I went online and signed up, put in payment info, now what? A few emails later I saw where I needed to watch a couple of videos in order to get into the training. Okay, done.. I waited for instructions as the class time was quickly approaching. Nothing.. training day arrived, I found my way to Gigi's. Pretty impressive facility, multiple buildings, and multiple parking areas. I will admit it was a bit confusing. Luckily someone from the neighboring building came out and explained where to go. We got situated in the class and made it through. Positive reinforcement training is the preferred method, and the tips and information provided by Rebecca is top notch! My only reason for not going 5 stars here is that the signup portion of this experience was lacking a bit in my opinion. I'm old school, I like to speak with someone, get a name and a face. Working strictly online feels cold and impersonal to me. The classes most definitely make up for it as my dog and I do get lots of personal attention during class sessions!
