Stopped by with my Rat Terrier to walk through the store and check it out and possibly buy a new…read moreleash for my Lab. My first impression was that inventory was sparse, just a few leashes to chose from none suitable for my Lab. To be fair the primary focus of this business is not retail sales but dog sitting. Having said that my shopping experience that day was not good. 2 or 3 minutes Within entering the store (I'm the only customer) the woman who greeted me when I entered informed me that she had a retail shipment that arrived that morning and she had to get to the loading dock and get it checked in. The message that sent to me: I'd like you to leave because I have better things to do than deal with a customer. As for the dog sitting aspect of this business the place looked clean and organized. The indoor play area that I saw looked fine and there were a few small dogs playing in it, I was told that there was another indoor pen and an outdoor pen with AstroTurf, but I did not see these. Even though my retail experience was bad I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt with a 3 star rating because a; I'm required to give them a rating, and b: they are primarily a dog sitting service and not a retailer.

When I tell her we are going to see her puppy friends, she gets so excited and it seems I never am able to move fast enough to get her out of the house and down to Fetch. We get report cards each visit, and the staff love her. Pictures are posted up on the facebook page pretty regularly so we can usually see sometime the next day just how much fun she was having. The staff takes great care of her and she comes out smiling and very excited to see us. By the time we get her home, she is exhausted from all the play and socializing with other dogs and people. Socializing is very important for pups of all ages and I am so happy we have this option here in Winona. I highly recommend Fetch.

I take a holistic approach to dog training. Strengthening the human-dog relationship and teaching life skills is the main focus of training sessions. Obedience is not our main focus. My approach looks at the unique individual sitting in front of us. A one-size-fits-all or quick-fix methodology has no place in dog training. My training plans include realistic goal setting, management protocols and enrichment. We teach new behaviors as needed. Every plan is customized to address client goals and dog needs. My training philosophy is grounded in rewards-based methods and I do not prescribe to methods or tools that rely upon pain, force, coercion and punishment. I focus on understanding why the dog is doing what he is doing and meeting the needs that are at the root of the issue. My clients come away from sessions with a new understanding and a stronger bond with their dog(s).

We keep trying to find somewhere that is as good, but we just can't. They add a personal touch and really get to know you and your dog. We took our dog for their puppy Einstein class as well and we really benefited from it. A wonderful place full of wonderful people that really care. In fact, after we moved, we had some behavioral issues pop up that we didn't really know how to handle, so we send an email over to Heather (the owner) and she gave us some great tips and since she knew our dog, it was more personalized. I would recommend to everyone.

When I got there, a sign near the cashier informed me that the fish section was closed, due to a 'store meeting'. Greatly disappointed, I left. Today, I made a second trip - only to find another sign saying the fish section was closed: again. I inquired, and was told by a cashier that the fish desk person had lost a contact, and gone home to replace it, and would be back soon. On hearing that I was making a 3 hour trip to shop at their store, the cashier volunteered to ask the manager if he could help me with my fish instead. I waited, then was approached (with no greeting or apology) by someone who was busy on his phone. He asked me where I was coming from; assuming he was the manager, I replied "Gays Mills'. He triumphantly punched his phone and said, "Gays Mills is only 54 miles from here!" I was flabbergasted. He apparently wanted to argue that I was wrong about the length of my trip, rather than provide any sort of customer service. I left - and will never return.

Cora would make an amazing dog for anyone without kids, not wanting kids and absolutely no pets. None. Issue 1: I was told it was $150 on the phone. At time of adoption I was told $300. My paperwork was clearly sitting in eye view and said $150. After pointing out I was told it was $150 I was charged $150. Issue 2: Our 10 minute dog meet and greet, 10 minutes...(Cora and our dog went well enough, one lunge incident that we thought was playful, damn were we wrong). Issue 3: During the 2 minute sign here, initial all these spots. I didn't even think about this but....if they give and offer 6 weeks free professional classes offered for "reactivity" why haven't they given Cora this class on there own? Issue 4: No where in Cora's profile did it state: -She food guards... -She toy guards... (Paperwork from prior surrender stated this.) -She even crate guards... --- in home our dog couldn't even walk near the crate while she's in it. Snarled, shows teeth, growls, barks, side eyes, snaps at air, lunges. -Shes biten multiple (not 1) young children according to the documents. Photo attached of document. ***Apparently this facility does not test these things. They're not important things for them to test or disclose up front.*** Issue 5: this baby lost weight in the care of CRHS... She's probably hangry. I clearly just thought, She'll put that back on at my home and dismissed it. Issue 6: only discovered today a week after this review originally posted but this CRHS has a facebook post about Cora that says absolutely NO dogs. This bit of information, I most certainly know they most certainly indeed did steal my money and knew it. *1 Star review because* -The above undisclosed information. -They will not refund (contract) and/or would not pick up Cora and consider my money a donation covering Cora's adoption fees.
