Bryan was referred to us by a co worker that also had great results with their dog…read more Our dog was 1.5 years old, so still had some puppy in him, but he has anxiety that causes his mindset to be very difficult to train, so we called Bryan. We had an introductory meeting and felt very comfortable. He walked through his 3 week and 5 week board and train options and what to expect with each. We chose the 5 week program which trains him to basic commands on AND off leash. It was super difficult to hand over our dog for 5 weeks, but as difficult as it was, I can honestly say it was worth it. Simply put, it was life changing for us. Bryan provided weekly updates and videos so we could see how our dog was doing and help us get over missing him. Our dog still has his silly personality, but is now controllable on and off leash. Bryan was able to improve his mindset so not only does he obey commands, but has learned to relax. I cannot recommend Bryan more highly.

My family and I decided to have a pup in our life. We found our perfect pet at Priceless Pets and…read moreadopted him. Love at first site. He is a Chocolate Lab As a puppy he was great. As the year went on, it was increasingly difficult to train him and he was just overpowering the kids. He didn't realize his own size and just wanted to play so much, but in playing, he would knock over the kids and it lead to most of his day needing to be spent in his crate. He had so much energy after getting out that he would pull constantly and just be his own dog. My spouse and I decided to look for help. We looked everywhere and vetted big business to small business. This was a very long process and somehow stumbled upon this page. I was very intrigued by a lot of the previous reviews. Almost too good to be true reviews. Eventually Contacted the owner (Bryan) and we had a good conversation. Started with questions about the dogs personality, what the goal and objective was, and how to get there. I don't want to go into too much detail because that conversation was so refreshing. I knew from that convo that Bryan was a true dog lover and trainer. Not someone just trying get the $$$$ After the conversation, we had a meet and greet and that went even better than the phone conversation. Bryan went into great detail the steps in what the board and train entails. My spouse and I were immediately invested. Both for the family and the happiness of our dog. We wanted happiness for everyone. We scheduled the time for the board and train (Took the 4 week option). We felt this was the best option for our family and our dog. It was an investment in our family and I wanted the best So now it's time to drop off Rufus. It was weird not having him in our home but knew it was for the best. Bryan again gave great detail into all the steps and what would happen during the 4 weeks. Each Friday for the 4 weeks we would get a private YouTube link on everything Rufus learned and his progress. Within the first week, he was a completely different dog. I've never seen him listen so much on the video. Those videos are all self explanatory so I wont get into those details either. Just know that they are very well detailed videos and you wont help but smile on your dogs progress Each week was upped to the next level of the defined training and it was a joy watching all the changes that have been made. As the weeks crept up to us getting Rufus back, we were excited with anticipation. On the day of pickup, we went through our own owner training with Bryan. Got very detailed with what we needed to do and how to continue the training for the rest of his life. It ended up being really fun. Rufus has now been home for a week and he his fully integrated to the home. He has a special place in our living room. The kids are happy they can play with him and pet him. Rufus is all smiles, droll and tail wags. This was indeed life changing for our family. Also Side note, Bryan made himself available for Boarding as well. We have been using the boarding services before and after the board and train. Experience was way better than any dog hotel I've used in the past for extended family trips. Bryan was the most genuine when it came to his business. You can tell he loves what he does. That's how I knew this was the place to go. I highly recommend. Also, even though board and train has been completed, he still checks on us after. He will be available for the life of the dog. Def cant go wrong with that

I've never used her services before, but she OFFERED to help me look for a dog walker....that was her choice! I checked back with her a few days later asking if any others had responded...and she told me she had shut down the post....and how I MICROMANAGED and was ungrateful!!! SO RIDICULOUS!!! Jennifer doesn't even know me, and told me that not even my SON would help me!!! I had already thanked her multiple times before this happened!! I called EVERY name she gave me, but it was hard to reach people, and others never called me back. RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!!! She is unprofessional....and remember it was HER CHOICE to help me in the first place! If I could give her ZERO stars, I would!!

This is a bit long, but stick with me, it's worth the read. :)…read more I want to share this because I know how overwhelming life with dogs can feel when things spiral out of control, and because truly great dog trainers are rare. Last year, I lost my dog Chloe. I had her for 15 years, and losing her completely broke my heart. Afterward, I adopted Lily, a multipoo who had never been out of a cage. She came from a puppy mill and was deeply traumatized. She shook constantly, wouldn't come to me, wouldn't let me touch her, and had severe anxiety. She was peeing and pooping in the house nonstop. I tried everything I knew. I tried love, patience, reassurance. Nothing worked. I was exhausted and completely at a loss. Then life threw me another curveball. A client of mine broke her hip after tripping over her dog and had to move into assisted living. I took in her one-year-old Schipperke named Daisy. If you aren't familiar with this breed, 'the little black devil.' Daisy is the sweetest, smartest dog in the world and also an absolute mischievous chainsaw in a tiny body. Endless energy, barking at people and dogs, running through the house nonstop, biting my neighbor on the ankle and even the gardener, and bullying Lily relentlessly. My house turned into chaos overnight. On top of that, I still had my 13-year-old dog Rocky, who is basically the best-behaved dog on the planet and thankfully not part of the problem. I didn't know what to do anymore. That's when I called Jennifer. Jen took Daisy for a two-week board-and-train, and when Daisy came home, she was a completely different dog. Not perfect, but honestly a million times better. She sleeps in a crate now, no longer bullies Lily, listens extremely well, and while she still barks, it's nothing like before. We're still working on it with Jen, but the transformation was incredible. After that, I sent Lily to Jen. What happened next honestly felt like a miracle. Lily no longer pees or poops in the house. She sleeps in a crate. She comes when I call her. She's happy. She plays. She acts like a dog now, not a scared abuse victim. She still has moments of anxiety and fear, but she is doing a million times better, and the difference is night and day. Jen didn't just train my dogs. She gave them structure, confidence, and safety. She gave me peace in my own home again. She understands dogs on a level that is rare, especially dogs with trauma, anxiety, and behavioral challenges. If you are struggling, overwhelmed, or don't know what else to do, I cannot recommend Jen enough. She is patient, intuitive, honest, and incredibly skilled. She truly changed our lives.

I'm so happy to get to see Nacho continue to grow as we keep applying everything Amanda taught us. Thank you Amanda!!

We boarded our two dogs for the week of June 28 with the expectation that they would be well cared…read morefor while we were away. Unfortunately, our experience was deeply disappointing and upsetting. The facility advertises that "if concrete pens are not for you, then this isn't the place for you." In reality, what we experienced went far beyond that disclaimer. When we picked up our dogs or rather, when family had to retrieve them because we no longer felt comfortable leaving them there one of our dogs appeared noticeably dehydrated and in poor condition. It was heartbreaking to see. We became concerned that our dogs were being confined to cages for the majority of the day. When we asked the owners to provide any proof or documentation showing that our dogs were not kept in cages all day, they refused to provide anything. The attached text message exchange reflects that interaction. Our concerns became serious enough that we made arrangements for family members to pick up our dogs early rather than leave them at the facility for the remainder of our reservation. No pet owner should feel compelled to cut a vacation short or scramble to find someone to rescue their pets because they have lost confidence in the care being provided. To make matters worse, I had to argue with the owners to receive a refund for the unused boarding days after our dogs had already been removed from their care. A refund for services not provided should have been offered without hesitation. I cannot recommend this boarding facility based on our experience. We entrusted them with members of our family and were left feeling misled, frustrated, and deeply concerned about our dogs' well-being. Pet owners deserve transparency, compassion, and confidence that their animals are receiving appropriate care. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. Please don't take your pups here. They deserve better!

Not that that gives me any kind of authority - only that I'be worked with a lot of animal people and I'm annoyingly picky about who I trust with my dogs. Stephen is outstanding. I don't think I've ever worked with a groomer who has so much respect and understanding for each individual dog. I have a very fragile senior dog (deaf, poor vision, neck sensitivity from damage before she was adopted, back/hip/shoulder arthritis), and an emotionally unstable butthead (I say with affection but he's high-anxiety lol). Stephen took his time with each of them to understand their personalities, let them go at their own pace, and feel comfortable with him before he started anything. He let me senior lay down in his tub and soak in conditioner to help her skin. Her coat looks healthier than it has in years. He then sat on the floor for a long time talking to my anxious boy until he felt comfortable enough to crawl over to Stephen for a nail trim. I'm just so amazed by Stephens calm heart and soothing demeanor. Worth every penny and I'll have him out again without hesitation. Thank you
