We all had different ways of how to train him and it was causing a rift in the family. I was turned down by some trainers until I came across Jonathan Wong's page. He was local, he was fast to get back to me and he was willing to give us a chance after everything I told him. Kody still has a long way to go and I will continue with Jonathan as his trainer, but it is night and day after three months of training with Jonathan. He was dog and people aggressive, to the point we had to avoid them entirely. We can now go for walks, albeit we move opposite of any dog and can keep walking without any barking or pulling. He was always actively pulling on the leash and bad at recall. He is loose leashed now and responds with recall with our daughter. In the end I had to get use to the idea that Kody was a crate or muzzle dog when it came to large crowds or people in our home. I felt awful but Jonathan was so supportive and positive as I came to terms with it. I hope as we continue to train with Jonathan and Kody builds his confidence that soon things might change for him. Jonathan has such a kind soul and so encouraging when it comes to both us and Kody. I cannot thank Jonathan enough for what he has done for us. He left solid foundations for us to grow on. Kody is such a sweet and smart boy, and we always want the best for him. Jonathan truly is the best.

    Bonnie and Mike are definitely the dog whisperers I was looking for to care for my pups while we…read morewere away on vacation. I realized how stressed I felt taking them to a vet boarding place, where my fur babies sit in a jail cell mostly isolated from people and fun. Bonnie interviewed my dogs and assessed whether they were a good fit and could get along with other dogs. She and Mike had no problem with my anxious and chatty hound/shepherd mix or grounded and stubborn carian terrier. They jumped right in the mix and had SO much fun! Bonnie made sure to send me pictures of them at rest and play, while we were away, which helped us relax and have fun, too. They have a great yard with fenced in areas, which allow for separation if needed. I think most of the time the poochies run and play, and then crash at night from a long day of fun. They really know dogs, and I was impressed at their compassion and humor while also keeping a watchful eye on how the dogs interacted with each other. Bonnie and Mike feel like a part of the family now. We'll see them next time we have to leave town without our dogs.

Bonnie is a very special person in this regard. In addition to her methodical approach to learn and understand the nature of my dog's behavior and how she will get along with the other dogs and the new environment, Bonnie also shares the same concern I have for the well being of my dog. Her words - I care about her like she's my own. Who could ask for anything more?

    I cannot recommend Kathy at Cause and Effect Dog Training enough! When we first reached out, our…read moreSpringer Spaniel, Checkers, was fearful, anxious, and often growled at my spouse and sometimes even at our kids. We had already tried multiple trainers, different techniques, and even followed our vet's suggestion to try antidepressants--but nothing was helping (in fact, the medication only made things worse). The moment I spoke to Kathy on the phone, I felt confident she truly understood the problem and could guide us in the right direction. And she absolutely has. Over the past year, Checkers has made tremendous progress thanks to Kathy's knowledge, patience, and the clear guidance she gave us. We followed her suggestions carefully--even switching vets based on her recommendation--and the results have been life-changing. Earlier this year, we had to travel out of the country and trusted Kathy to board Checkers. During that time, he developed a beautiful bond with her partner Dan. This was nothing short of amazing, as Checkers has always been fearful of men. Watching their relationship grow has been such a gift. With Kathy's help (and the influence of her own two balanced dogs), Checkers has learned how to be a dog--something I once thought might never happen. He now participates in pack walks and can even run off-leash in the fields, something I couldn't have imagined a year ago. If you're struggling with your dog's behavior and feel like nothing is working, do yourself and your dog a favor and call Kathy. She and Dan have changed our lives, and I am endlessly grateful for the care and dedication they've shown to Checkers and to us.

I really think having the training sessions with Kathy helped us bond with our dog more. It was a really rewarding experience. I absolutely feel more confident about my communication skills towards our girl Cub. Thank you for helping us work with her Kathy!!

All this while they constantly reassured us all their techniques are based on positive reinforcement - what kind of positive reinforcement is centered around fear?!

    We are so incredibly grateful for Gusty and the help she gave our family. We have two miniature…read moreAustralian Shepherds, one of whom is just over a year old and had recently developed reactive aggression. Over the last few weeks, things escalated to the point where she began attacking our other dog whenever someone came to the door or a package was delivered. During one of these incidents, my husband was accidentally bitten while trying to break up a fight. That's when we realized we needed professional help -- fast. It had gotten so serious that we had even begun discussing the heartbreaking possibility of rehoming her, simply for the safety of everyone involved. That fear, and the emotional pain that came with it, weighed heavily on our hearts. But after just one session with Gusty, that painful thought is now firmly in the past. Enter Gusty. In just one session, our lives changed. The nuisance barking stopped entirely. Our dog no longer jumps up on us when we walk through the door, even when she's excited. Her nipping and playfully aggressive behavior has been replaced by belly-up submissiveness and endless kisses. She's calmer, more docile, and truly feels like a different dog. What impressed me most was that all of this happened while my four-year-old son was in the background, constantly needing my attention. Gusty was incredibly patient, understanding, and focused throughout. She clearly cares deeply about what she does and wants nothing more than to help dogs and their human family. During our next sessions, we'll work on leash training and eventually help our dog learn that she doesn't need to be so protective of our son. Based on what we've already seen, I have no doubt that training will go just as smoothly. I can't recommend Gusty enough. She's a life-changer -- compassionate, professional, and absolutely amazing at what she does.

    "Pet Food Express" - I expected it to only be about pet food when I first came! But this spot has…read moreeverything your dog needs from food (not the prescription kind though), toys, accessories, clothes, treats, supplements, etc. and it has become my favorite bath time location for our large forever puppy! The way it works is you purchase a token at the cash register (I think there's a usual deal of buy 3 get one free). I believe 1 token is about 20 minutes total of wash/soap, rinse and dry. They've got 5 bathing stations and one of them has its own wall that's convenient for those dogs that just can't be too close to another dog. They supply you with everything you need - each station has it's own water hose that includes the shampoo (3 different options), they also supply extra shampoo if you need it, aprons, and clean towels. The staff keeps this area very clean and are pretty quick to cleanup the stations after people leave to get it ready for the next person. It's probably busiest during the morning and there could be long lines but so far I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes and luckily my dog is more patient nowadays. There is also an emergency button that can be activated in case a dog decides to get slippery and escape the tub! I haven't seen it used (thankfully) but I think it's designed to ensure all doors are closed so the dog can't get out of the building. My interactions with all the staff at different occasions have all been very positive. Whether it was a question about baths, food, supplements, first aid, or treats they have all just been helpful, very knowledgeable, and always friendly!

    I am writing a negative review about Metro Dog. I initially reached out to them for boarding…read morebecause I am traveling for vacation week. About two or three weeks ago, they scheduled me for an initial assessment, where they would assess my dog and figure out the best place to put him. I told them my dog is very vocal but that is normal for his breed (hes a husky). The assessment went great, my dog did very well, and he stayed there for half a day. Additionally, I was told to get him the canine influenza vaccine, which I did. The week after, I scheduled him for doggy daycare to get him used to it. The visit went well. They told me that my dog did great. He was vocal at the beginning, but he settled in. I said great. Nothing else was said to the contrary. The week of my vacation, I check the portal. It said my dog was still on the boarding waitlist. I called to confirm that he would be boarded and checked to see if they saw his updated vaccine record. They placed me on hold for a while until the man who did the initial assessment came on. He informed me, much to my surprise, that since my dog is still anxious (he barks, which is his normal), they would not be able to board him until he has a few more visits. I am very disappointed at Metro Dog. I feel like my time and money were utterly wasted. I followed their protocol and got my dog used to this place, and they declined my boarding request at the last minute. I now have to scramble and see if I can find another boarder for vacation. I am also very disappointed at the lack of communication. If I had not called them to check, I would not have known that he was declined. I received no indication that he would not be able to board by Metro Dog. I wanted to love this place but I am so good on Metro Dog. I hope this review can help others and push this place to be more communicative, honest, and upfront with fellow clients and their fur babies.
