Dee and her husband Walt gave me amazing advice on what snacks to get both girls to keep them engaged and out of trouble, what foods were good for them, what chew toys would benefit them and then tailored their entire training to fit the specific needs of both Stella and Wicket at the same time. They were able to educate us on what types of dogs we had, plus the energy levels and adult sizes of the dogs, among other things. I personally feel like they went well above and beyond my expectations for what a trainer would normally do (I thought trainers just taught the dogs to do what they are told and help fix behaviors) These guys don't stop at commands, they want to genuinely see you and your best friend thrive together and build a strong bond. Anytime we came to a session with questions about new or worsening behaviors like chewing on things, plowing over the kids, etc. Dee was ready with advice, commands, and sometimes even educational videos to help us fix things. Both Stella and Wicket passed the basic puppy class and we are working on enrolling them for the next step up. In addition to my own experience, a few months ago my oldest daughter got herself a puppy named Blaze (heeler & Australian shepherd mix) who is massively energetic and currently a couple of weeks into his training. In just a few short weeks he has already started to become a whole different dog from what we are used to. We had a massive bump in the road relating to Blaze, which brought his training temporarily to a screeching halt when he needed surgery. Dee was beyond accommodating and so kind to us while we went through almost losing Blaze and then having a two week long recovery for him when he finally came home to us. It doesn't matter how many dogs I end up getting, they will all go through training with Dee and I make sure to recommend her to all my family and friends when they have concerns about their pups.

We got a call Saturday July 5th, 2025, around 9am that our dog had died an HOUR earlier. We rushed over to the facility and David Torres, who I assume is the owner or lead trainer, told us that our Frenchie had breathing complications and died. Not in the heat but in the air-conditioned area that they kept the dogs in. It made no sense to me because our dog would sleep with us every night in an AC controlled room. I asked to see the security footage because I wanted to rule out negligence on their part. David told me he would get the footage and asked if I could return later. I told him I wouldn't leave until I saw it with my own eyes. After a few hours David came back and said he needed to wait for their IT tech to return to retrieve any footage. My wife and I were furious and didn't know what to do since we were staying in town for the holiday weekend. David then offered to have our dog cremated locally but we refused. He also insisted and provided a WRITTEN PROMISE to provide us with ANY puppy we wanted. At the moment we didn't want to hear anything about another dog. We went to the store to buy a cooler and placed our Frenchie inside and started a 5-hour drive back home in silence. We were able to get him cremated locally by our home and David said he would take care of the bill. We paid out of pocket and sent David the receipt. David then promised he would mail out a check, but after almost 3 weeks nothing came. We had to reach out again, and a check finally arrived a few days later. After a few weeks of back and forth, David sent a message that EVERY camera that covered the area where our dog was staying had malfunctioned and had no footage of the incident AT ALL. It became extremely difficult to believe that no negligence had occurred after this... Back in December 2025 my wife and I were still feeling the emptiness in our home. We had gotten our Frenchie shortly after getting married. Since we have no children, our dog filled that void at times. I spoke to my wife about getting another dog and I remembered the written promise David made. I reached out to David and let him know what my wife and I wanted to get a puppy to be a family of three once again. He confirmed he received our request and we let him know we wanted an Australian Shepherd. Weeks went by and there were never any solid leads. He offered us an Australian Cattle Dog but I didn't want to accept that only because it was convenient. If we were going to get another dog, we wanted to be able to choose him, not have it forced on us. This is where things became very frustrating. For almost 5 weeks there was no response from David. Not only until I cc'd the support email did I get a response from David a few days later. He casually brought up that he had been in Texas for a month. I understand that for a business owner, something that happened months ago may not be a priority, but for my wife and I, it's something we get reminded of every day when we see our dog's toys in the laundry room. David then confirmed that they would most likely not be able to find us a dog and offered us $500 as an alternative. My wife and I were so tired of dragging this on that we agreed to the $500 so we could save up and get our own dog. David asked for my home address, which he would have had from the cremation check, and confirmed he would mail out a check via FedEx or UPS. Here we are 2 WEEKS LATER still with NO UPDATE from David or the support email. If you have a good relationship with this facility great. But if you're in town and looking for a place to entrust your pets consider another facility. The way David handled this situation was beyond unprofessional. I was hesitant to write this review because I wanted to give David the benefit of the doubt, but I guess it doesn't really matter to him. If anyone from the team responds to this review before the list of unanswered emailed it would just further my point of unprofessionalism.

Their motto, "Now imagine having all of that, and having the work done for you" is nothing but verbal garbage. I challenge you. Go try to sign up. It is impossible followed by requests for additional things to end up back at impossible. I don't know why they bother. If this is how they conduct business, I would NEVER want my dog trained there.
