I do wish there were live cameras so I can peep in while I'm at work though. I do love that they offer a lot of add-on services for your pup, even seasonal ones that I'm looking forward to him trying, as well as overnight boarding suites. Dropping him off for the evaluation day went great, the front desk was very thorough and even told me that I could call to check in and see how he's doing after 2 hours. Previously my puppy has gone to a different daycare, but at the Wagging lounge you can tell the staff enjoy what they do and love dogs. When we picked him up afterwards he was happy and worn out, and the staff all said "Bye Ted!" on the way out. Overall, great experience for a dog owner and my happy boy. Ended up purchasing their $100 for 3 daycare deal (purchase only on evaluation day). I will continue to take him here!

With our dog Titus we trained for about 18months with them from puppy and up. He's a great dog because of their guidance. Titus really loved nose work. I believe that was one of his favorite classes. He's also gone to grooming with them and they do a perfect job. He's also stayed with them in boarding. I love how accommodating they are to our natural raw diet and holistic approach to the care of our pet. Titus is now four years old. I can't wait to head back for more classes.

I'm beyond satisfied! Coventry has a puppy-focused daycare program where they match the pups up with compatible ages, temperaments, etc. The groups are small and the pups have so much fun! We get daily report cards, see photos on the facebook page, the staff all get to know the pup's personalities and names, pickup and dropoff is super easy, and my puppy is so excited every time we get there. Highly recommended!!!

We've been using Love Those Paws since 2015 to watch our cockatiels when we go on vacation. It is…read moremuch less expensive than boarding them at the vet and less stressful for the animals. The sitters vary but all are enthusiastic based on the reports they leave. After every visit the sitter leaves a note of when they came and left and what they did. They also usually text us an update and a picture of our birds. We come back to a stack of reports. The sitter stays a while after the food, water, and paper are changed to make sure the birds aren't acting weird, and I hear that some singing goes on. We've never had a problem and have be accommodated at very short notice when we want to go away for the weekend. I highly recommend this company. 1/27/20 Update: Just used them again during a ten day trip to Hawaii. I'm pretty sure our birds are in love with Alex, who came for most oF the visits. Now they are just stuck with us. As always, a great experience and we love being able to travel without any worries.

Despite me typing up a whole instruction sheet, he insisted on walking through again just to be sure (which is very reassuring). The actual pet sitting was spectacular. The pet sitter who was assigned was Kim. She spent plenty of time with the cats and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. The visit reports they leave are really cute as well. Could not have gone smoother! I'd also like to add that they were available with very short notice (3 other pet sitting companies were unable to handle our request). Also want to add that Stewart (when he came for the home visit) was wearing a mask and gloves to protect against COVID (a welcome sight). Pet owners would should have their minds at ease if they select Love Those Paws. If I go on vacation again (few and far between these days) I would definitely use them again!

I have…read moretwo big rescue dogs that went through Pups Dog Obedience Training (one dog went through about 4-5 times if I remember correctly) and I could not recommend them more. My dogs had been turned down from other trainers due to reactiveness, aggression and a slew of other issues. Karen and her team were so patient with us and accommodated every step along the way inside and outside of the class. You would never believe where my dogs started if you could see the today with how much calmer and happier they are in their every day lives. Pups Obedience was absolutely our pivotal point of change for the better. FYI I am writing this reviews YEARS after attending the course due to the long term changes I have seen and appreciated.

We adopted a rescue dog and I immediately signed him up for a basic obedience class as more of a bonding experience than anything. Karen's company came highly recommended to me by the rescue group. The dog was wonderful, but leery of my live-in boyfriend. The foster mentioned that he had shown some nipping behavior towards her husband initially, but during the meet and greet, the dog was fine with all of us. Well, we started to have some problems with him. He was becoming very aggressive towards us and downright scary to be around. I made an appointment for a pre-training assessment with Karen due to his behavior. Karen made us feel comfortable from the second we met her. She is very down to earth and a "tell it like it is" kinda woman (which I loved!) I very much appreciated that she was honest and didn't try to sell us on a promise or dream that may not come true with an end goal for the dog. She said that I could reach out to her anytime with questions or advice and that if we decided not to keep the dog, we could still receive a full refund for our training class. In the end, the dog went back to his foster family. I was incredibly sad, but know he will be happier in a house without so many people. Should we ever end up with another dog, I will schedule classes with Pups in a heartbeat!

There is a huge agility "open gym" but I was a little worried my older less - active dogs would hate it. Luckily there is a small dog area as well and they had their own space to just relax and nap. My one dog is only 4 pounds and so she got extra love and was carried around, which is exactly what she wanted :-) I appreciate that they took the time to understand and provide personalized care for an older dog who isn't interested in all the agility/play stuff. If you do have a a very active dog, he will absolutely love the huge play area! It is super clean and there is no dog odor at all. I The staff really care and they are always playing and engaging with the dogs. I highly recommend Club Pooch so you can have a worry-free trip knowing that your dog is cared for and loved. We will be returning for our next trip!

Listen, I'm not sure where to start because there's so much I want to cover regarding OLK9's Day…read moreCamp Program. First things first, Craig [Martin] is a Rockstar trainer. Period. Our very first interaction was great...his energy was wonderful...he did not disappoint! He was very methodical with his approach...explaining every step of the process...very engaging...constant updates of the Boyz progress...videos, photos...wait! The photos that I received were Ahhhhhhh-mazing, I mean impressive...only to learn that he's a photographer as well...but I digress. The Boyz are spoiled and I have no shame in stating this...*smile*. But they needed to learn manners. I have two large and very strong Standard Poodles - Mr. Brown and Max. They're extremely smart, pretty obedient in the house, but a huge challenge on walks...my poor dog walker. I wanted to be able to take them anywhere without the extended conversations of sit, stay, what are you doing? you know better... etc. At any rate, I'd been following OLK9 Maryland for some time online. I knew that training for two dogs was going to be a budget buster. Thankfully, I was able to take advantage of the "Black Friday" or "Cyber Monday" (can't remember which one it was). I cannot say enough about the great experience I had...the Boyz were happy to see Craig each day which was a HUGE relief for me. Yes, additional work/training on my part is required...to me that's a no brainer. As a responsible pet owner, I want to make sure that there is consistency and an expectation that my Boyz are well behaved and well mannered. Which means I have to do the work. Funny, as I was driving home from our final session, I was so tempted to take them on a short walk because I knew it would be enjoyable. But decided to wait until morning... I'm so excited to be able to have an enjoyable walk with these guys... less scolding and more bonding. Well worth the time and financial commitment. Thank you OLK9 Maryland for bringing additional joy to our home... things are definitely more "manageable". I'm really looking forward to our walks, especially since there will be NO more pulling! Can't wait to be able to take them to the "brick and mortar" with me once it's open! "Life Changing K9 Training"

I wasted over $1,000 to unknowingly abuse my dog through Off Leash K9. I sought help because my dog…read morewas reactive toward other dogs, loud vehicles, and people. I was desperate to help my dog and myself and Off Leash K9 had good reviews. What these folks didn't tell me was that my dog's reactivity, what I thought was outright aggression, was actually fear - that she was scared of all of these things and trying to protect herself from them. So with the use of the e-collar (really just a shock collar let's be honest), I punished her every time she showed a fear response at Off Leash K-9's direction. This definitely changed her behavior, but rather than helping her feel more comfortable with the things that scared her, we instead punished her for being afraid and taught her to hide her fear responses. I wish I had looked at the science behind dog behavior, because I now know research shows that punishment through things like e-collars, buzz collars, spray bottles, etc. are incredibly counterproductive to changing dog behavior long term and they seriously traumatize the dog. I'm so very grateful to have met a Fear Free trainer who taught me about positive reinforcement. It has improved my relationship with my dog immensely and it has ultimately lead to the sustained behavior change I was looking for. Please do not waste your money on abusive, ignorant training through Off Leash K9.

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. DO NOT SEND YOUR DOG TO THIS PLACE…read more We signed up our dog here for the two week board and train program back in September. We dropped her there on Friday morning and tried calling them over the weekend to check on our dog as she had separation anxiety issues. The people kept transferring us to the voicemail and and didn't even mention that the person who is responsible to answer phone calls is out of office for the weekend. We tried tell the people we just want to make sure our dog is okay. We were very close to go back on Monday and take are dog back as this was very unprofessional and not the communication we wanted. Someone from their office called us back on Monday and apologized and told us that our puppy was okay. After 2 weeks when we went to pick our dog, the trainer who handed over our dog didn't know how to show us her training. Our dog did not learn anything and MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY GAVE HER BACK TO US WITH A BAD DIAREAHA AND WITH HER VOICE GONE. They didn't even give us a heads up about her condition . Andrew W. called us and we explained him everything and told him how disappointed we were. We still wanted to give this place another chance. At the time of the call Andrew seemed apologetic. Andrew asked for videos of our dog's response to the commands they taught her so that he can come up with a plan. We did as he asked and provided him with videos he requested. Its January and we never heard back from him or anyone from CTC. There hasn't been a follow up or any attempts to reach us. All I will say is that this place is BAD at COMMUNICATING, NOT RESPONSIVE, CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH YOUR DOG. I WILL NOT RECOMMENDD THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. THEY ARE NOT RELIABLE AT ALL. Think twice before you spend over $2000 to send your dog to them.

I have waisted $2100 on them and caution you to do the same as when I expressed the lack of…read moretraining my dog has to them they reminded me that I signed a contract and my money is non refundable. My newfoundland needed some basic ground work done so I decided to board and train with CTC. Andrew agreed that this was the best option for him. I was asked and discussed what I wanted with him by 3 different people, his admin, him, and the trainer that I dropped him off with. None of which told me that his mounting issue with other dogs was something that could not be trained and would NOT be addressed during training. I made it very clear this was a strong issue for me because he wasn't allowed back at daycare because of it. When we picked him up and asked about it, that is when we learned that it was not addressed and couldn't be trained out of him. At pick up my dog was clearly exhausted. Obviously they had worked him hard before we got there. Even still, he didn't listen to Andrew and heel properly. He kept trying to come back to my car even though Andrew said he wouldn't recognize it. Or he would refuse to lay down to the point he was yanking the leash down hard to get him on the hot pavement. Definitely not a dog you would expect to have been trained for 2 weeks for over $2k for the basics. From the beginning my dog has always been calm around other dogs. He is no longer that way. Since getting him back he lunges at other dogs. He suddenly is terrified of loud noises when he wasn't before/ The ecollar training is not building a bond, in fact I feel like it is breaking the bond between me and my dog. I have read other negative reviews about his training technique doing this and I wish I would have read them before going there. Due to Covid we had to do pickup from our car and watch as Andrew did his demonstration with our dog. We were on our bluetooth while he talked to us from his phone. Social distancing can still happen from one end of the driveway to the other and still see if we're doing the directions properly. Instead we were sent home without any directions, just videos from his website. Which he told us when we were there that he has since changed some of the methods he trains with from those methods. He doesn't use the button at the times he used to in the videos so if you follow only the videos you're using it too much. My first email was a response to Andrew's only email to me asking how he was where I immediately said good but I was having trouble with heel. He never responded. I waited and a week later started sending messages about how upset I was that my dog was not trained. Finally Andrew responded with an at home training where he said my dog actually had to start with a step BEFORE heel. Where I need to constantly put treats in front of his face. This too hasn't worked and I haven't heard from him since that training, a month ago. I have followed his training methods without any results and will go to another trainer.

Why is it that the one thing you are looking for always seems to be the item that is out of stock…read moreeverywhere. I was in need of dry food for my cat and every single place I had stopped was completely out of it. I thought that maybe PetSmart would be the place that would actually have this. Walked in and navigated to the cat section. Checked the shelf, and it was a negative. I even scoped out the top shelves to makes sure it just wasn't pulled forward. Even though they did not have the exact item, I did grab a bag and head towards the registers. Why in the world was the worst part about this store? Like they planned for it to be a total breakdown area. I got to the register and there was only one open. I was third in line and more were coming behind me. The hold up was a customer had an item that just happened to not be scanning and was the last one in the store. Instead of seeing that a line was forming of people and opening another register, both the cashier and another employee went off to search for a solution. Finally, another employee came to their senses and noticed that we were all just standing around. Another register opened and the line started to go down. By the time I had gone through the register they still hadn't got through that customer with the unscanable item.

I dropped my 1 year old small Chihuahua mixed dog at PetHotel for 10 days and she came home…read morelethargic. When we picked her up, they could not find her bed or food we provided. Finally, they came out with her bed and blanket but said they couldn't find her food. When asked, the guy at the desk said he called someone who had been taking care of our dog and said the wet food was given twice a day to help my dog poop. If that's the case, then they didn't feed my dog for at least 2 days. When we got her home, all she wanted was to eat and sleep. She wasn't her playful self. Now, when she walks for a few minutes, all she wants to do is curl up for hugs and to sleep. They said they gave her a probiotic to help her poop but I'm beginning to think she couldn't poop because she hadn't eaten. During her stay, she lost 1 pound and for a dog that wasn't quite 8 pounds, this is extremely dangerous. Also, when we picked her up at noon, they said she hadn't had her morning walk. Who doesn't walk a dog in the morning? Another thing that is not acceptable is the fact that they made changes from day camp to 1-1 time, so my dog was left alone for most of the day. They made these changes without contacting me or the emergency contact. They barely made an attempt to socialize with my dog, did not take her for walks, lost/misplaced her food and bed, and gave her a probiotic without any consultation or approval. On top of everything, they charged me more than what was expected and now I have to take my dog to the vet because something happened while she was there and after speaking with the veterinarian, they need to see her as soon as possible. I will never take my dog here, again, and will tell everyone to stay away from this place.
