We've been bringing our Cavapoo here since she was a puppy, and she's now 3 years old--that alone…read moresays a lot about how much we trust Laura. Laura has always been patient, gentle, and consistent, which made such a difference when she was younger and getting used to grooming. She actually gets excited to go now, which speaks volumes. Her cuts are always clean and exactly what we ask for, and she comes home looking (and smelling) great every time. Laura clearly cares about the dogs, not just getting them in and out. It's been a really positive experience over the years, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring groomer.

If you're looking for a groomer, you've found a rare gem in a sea of options! I can't recommend…read moreKaiser Pet Care enough. They genuinely care about your pups well-being and take the time to build a positive association with all aspects of grooming at the dogs pace. You won't regret the kindness, commitment, and time they take to gain your pups trust and work within their thresholds. The team genuinely cares about helping set your dog up for success so they are not only comfortable with grooming but also enjoy it. They are experts at what they do and it shows through their work and how excited our girl is always is to see them. After lots of livings, she happily trots inside. She also always looks like the same dog when she comes out, which isn't always the case with some groomers. We were fortunate enough to find them when our girl was a puppy so they've been working with her through their puppy package. She has fear aversion with her nails and bath from the breeder. They've been working with June to desensitize her and build positive associations with these and after only a few sessions, we've seen great improvement. You'll never have to worry if your pet is being cared the way you would want when they are at Kaiser. We are thankful to have found them and so grateful for how well they treat our girl. 10/10 recommend. Thank you, Kaiser, for all that you do. We'd be lost without you!

Once upon a time I owned a pet-care company - so I know you can't please all the people, all the…read moretime. However from start to finish this was a less than stellar situation. Alpha Pets was recommended to me after asking one of my networking groups for insight on pet-service in our new hometown of Manassas. Since I trusted the source I presumed the company was going to be great with our elderly dogs. We had some trouble pinning down a time for a meet and greet. I also had some trials with their online system (It's not user-friendly) and apparently to get through to setting up even a human contact you have to use their system. When Jen came out to do our visit we explained, with emphasis, how attached we were to our dogs and how important it is to us to know exactly how they're doing -- one of our dogs lives with lyme disease and has severe skin allergies, the other has IBD and various knee and hip challenges due to her age and a previous injury. Jen assured us that she could change our minds about pet-care in the area and even told us about someone on the Board of Supervisor's who trusts her and her team to care for their dogs. I assumed that was to impress us? We left detailed notes and specifically asked (in person and in our notes and in our correspondence) for regular, detailed updates on the dogs. Within 24 hours of our departure we'd heard nothing. The only form of contact I had received for the company was the 800 number on the website and Jen's facebook message account. I called the 800 number -- but there is only a generic greeting and no indication of whom was reached -- nothing that said Alpha Pets at all. I also emailed Jen via Facebook -- asking what was up with our dogs -- the response was disheartening. I was told that since we had only been gone a day she didn't think we needed any updates. To be honest, I was upset -- whether or not she thought we needed updates -- we had specifically asked for them. I was told that they wouldn't text because then we'd have her or her team's phone numbers. Fair enough -- then why not simply pre-empt my requests and send me a detailed update? Here is part of our FB conversation: "Hey Jen --re they eating? is K's belly okay? is D chasing bunnies and squirrels? and any other newsy bits.... NO RESPONSE Dec 7th, 8:04pm Jen -- do me a favor-- can you text me within the hour? and give me a number where I can text you? actually -- also like a call at either number please {NO RESPONSE} Jen:We really do not give out our personal numbers. What questions did you have? Dec 7th, 10:18pm (note the time lag between second attempt to contact and response) Basically, we just want to know what's happening. Please let us know - either by text or calling or emailing my personal email Jen: I figured since you just left Saturday and we messaged yesterday that would be good for that day. Both are eating and drinking and walking fine. They seem perfectly happy and healthy. I will can send you an update on here at the end of their last visit each day but really they are fine. Me: I'd appreciate you indulging us. Jen: They are doing well. They are eating, walking, seem to be happy. As I said, if they weren't I would let you know. I will message you after the last visit tomorrow and let you know how they are doing. Me: great -that would be awesome. every day after the last visit Dec 8th, 10:14pm (last visit was supposed to happen by 9pm) Me: Jen -- how did the last visit go? any accidents in the house? {NO RESPONSE} ME; okay...now I'm worried???? JEN: I am just now finding my last animal. They are fine. No accidents. ME: I'm guessing this doesn't mean you were looking for our girls.I'm glad to hear they are fine.Please do me a favor and at least give us a heads up each night by 10 at the latest. even if it's to say, "I'm on the road, your girls are safe and sound." text or emails are perfect. {included my phone number} I appreciate your job is a hard one, but we definitely consider these two as our children and want to hear how they are each night just as if we had left human children in your care." This went on the entire trip. nightly check-ins were: "They're fine" We came home early to avoid the stress. We didn't bother to ask for the fee paid for the remaining visit to be returned. We did however ask for our keys to be returned. That was 2+ weeks ago. No keys and no way to contact as Jen has closed all forms of communication. I've tried to contact her before writing this to no avail. Hire at your own risk. Petsitting is a hard way to make a living. I get it. This, however, was unacceptable.

All I can say is WOW!! I dropped off my 2 year old Staffordshire terrier. She was a good girl…read morebefore, not aggressive just like a teenager... She did the initial training for a week long, while I had a work trip. I picked her up this morning, and was given so many hugs and kisses, then immediately she showed me what she had learned. Then we went and did the obstacle course, everything was great... but that's not even the best part... I took her on a 4.5 mile hike down by Calvert Cliffs, and being the holiday weekend, it was not packed, but there was a great deal of traffic , both human and canine ... She was EXCELLENT!! Not trying to meet everyone, no rambunctious action, ignored aggressive canines or loud ones, and listened to almost every command given. It was a perfect hike!! I am so looking forward to working more and more with AppleJack and progressing her training even further.. Like the saying, you get what you pay for... and if you want the best, don't look anywhere else!

The trainers really understood Duffy and could see how I needed to change to help he become the "good boy" I knew he could be, I cannot stress how amazing the transformation was. Duffy is now my constant companion who I enjoy having by my side at home and on the road. We both learned so much from Ryan and the others that it changed our lives. I can never thank them enough. The positive attitude,patience,kindness,understanding and their amity to teach and explain simply blew me away. Without a doubt Applejack is by far the best place for dogs and their humans to be schooled. Training is and understatement of the services they provide. I would recommend them to Pet Owners world wide. Thank you Applejack Duffy and I were so lucky to be referred to you.

I am writing to share how pleased I am with the two lessons I have had with my pit bull mix puppy…read more I was a bit reluctant because of the cost, but Marley is very much still a youngster and super high energy, so in view of so many high ratings I decided to bite the bullet and enroll. We hopefully will have her for many years, and will all be happier if she (and us!) are well-trained. Marley is very smart and I was sure that with the right help she would learn fast. The first lesson was with Ryan...he was knowledgeable, patient with both canine and human, articulate and calm. He even was able to make the experience fun for Marley. Jake was with us the second time, and he was just as terrific as Ryan. There is a lot of information given, but with the way they taught, I have been able to retain most of it and work successfully with Marley between classes. I intend to complete 4 sessions and sign up for 4 more. I'm so appreciative, and look forward to effective training for all of us. I highly recommend Off Leash!! Pam Talley & Marley

My dog just completed training with Andrew Horan at Citizen K-9 and returned a well behaved pup…read more Macie is an Eng. Bulldog and is very stubborn. She more or less did as she pleased when she wanted. She had us trained. We camp almost every weekend and she goes with us on all our trips. It had been a nightmare, she would pull on the leash when walking her and grab the leash out of our hands, jump up on people and their dogs, and rush out of the door of the RV with little recall. We were unable to relax and enjoy our time with her outside of the RV. Mr. Horan said he would make it his mission to teach Macie to become a better behaved dog. He did an excellent job. She returned to us a better behaved dog while still being her loving self. We are enjoying her much more at home and while camping. I highly recommend Citizen K-9 for training.

Can't recommend Alex and Commonwealth Pet Care enough! Alex truly understands dogs and how to work…read morewith them. I recently adopted my dog Bailey and quickly realized she had some behavioral issues. I felt like I was in over my head. Fortunately I found Alex, and Bailey and I started training with him. I have noticed a huge change in her personality in just a few weeks after working with Alex. As a first time dog owner, Alex has helped me learn techniques and gain the confidence I need to deal with her issues. Bailey also stays with Alex whenever I go out of town and she loves hanging out with him and his dog Apache. If you're thinking about contacting Alex for pet services go for it!
