I got to chatting with Shai about my dog's horrid shedding and bad experiences we have had with past groomers. She suggested I get an appointment with her so she could take care of it for us. I gave it a try. Gruene Gables is so clean and the staff is friendly. Shai came out to see what I wanted done with Max and took him back. It was nice for Max to see a familiar face, so that eased some of his anxiety about "dog places". A few hours later, Max came out looking like a new boy! I swear he was so clean he sparkled a little. Shai went above and beyond my husband and I's expectations! He has never looked, felt or smelled so good before (and none of that nasty perfume spray)! He even had a confident strut to his walk. I can tell he feels better and wasn't under much stress due to Shai and Liz being there, which made me happy. The price was very reasonable and we will definitely be back!! These gals are the best!

Be aware that this boarding facility engages in deceptive business practices…read more The only way to make a reservation is to call them. During that call they will try to sell you a "play package", as an upgrade. They do not tell you on the phone, or on their website, nor do they mention it in their reservation email, that there is a mandatory Bronze "play" package added on for an additional $15. I declined any such services, because my dog was going to be there for less than 24 hours. Nevertheless, they charged me $30 extra. Furthermore, the "playtime" notes claimed that they played fetch with her. My dog does not play fetch. She is very possessive about the ball, so if you manage to get possession of it and throw it, she will gladly chase it to get it back, but she will not voluntarily give it back. I strongly doubt they played with her at all.

We have two medium/ large dogs and were looking for a place to take them for both daycare as well…read moreas to have for boarding when we found K9 Country Club. During the first daycare experience, everything seemed to go OK, but we were surprised that they didn't seem tired at all upon pickup. At our previous daycares, the dogs would come home ready to rest and relax... definitely wasn't the case this time. Despite the initial daycare experience, we decided to board our dogs here over the New Years holiday as we really needed to have them in a safe place where they would be able to be together and would have daycare during the day. Our dogs seemed to do really well and did come home exhausted after the three day boarding experience and seemed to be in good spirits! The only odd thing was how thirsty the dogs were when they got home - it was like they hadn't drank in days (but this could just be from over excitement). The reason that I chose to remove a star is because they seem to be very disorganized and the front desk woman is a bit rude. Multiple times I was contacted for a missing vaccine or paperwork or this or that and yet they already had it ... just lost it/ misplaced it. Even upon check in, I had to go over the same items (like medication instructions) over and over because the woman checking us in did not listen (and truthfully is pretty rude). Additionally at check out... I was handed a bag full of stuff that wasn't mine. I was glad I checked as some other dog/ owner would've been without their bowls, food, etc. Despite the front desk woman being rude, the rest of the staff and the manager here are all very friendly and work to get things right. One employee that really went above and beyond (and will be the reason we come back is Casey (I hate to say I'm not 100% sure on his name, but I believe that's it). He took extra time to get to know the pups so they felt comfortable going with him, wrote down all the instructions for himself and also took time to speak with my family to ensure we felt comfortable. Overall - a good boarding place but one that has some improvement opportunities in administration.

I took my rescued puppy here because I was a first time dog owner and wanted to make sure he was…read moregoing to be trained properly. I was assured that he'd know basic commands after the first two weeks. He likes to chase cars, and they said that they'd need to work with a shock collar to discourage that behavior, which is awful given that shock collars are heavily discouraged for non-problematic dogs and are outlawed in some countries. I still enrolled him in a 2-week course for basic commands, because I was a first time dog owner who wasn't aware of how to train dogs. Lara's canine solutions used a prong collar on a puppy who already was happy to follow directions and didn't have behavioral problems. She reassured me that prong collars would be okay becuase it doesn't hurt when she put it around my arm. However, after the training, I put the collar around my neck as a test to see how my dog would feel, and was shocked at how much it hurt my throat. While my dog was there, he developed aggression problems and anxiety, and developed problems of barking aggressively. Worst of all, after the two weeks, he didn't know any of the commands. I asked him to sit, and he didn't know what it was. He only did "guess work" out of fear when I tugged on the leash with the prong collar which was what the owner recommended. I had to train him all over again at Petco because he didn't know basic commands, and Petco did a much better job and raised his confidence back up. If I'd do it again, I'd find a center that encourages positive behavioral training rather than engaging in negative training with prong collars and shock collars.

My experience was so bad, I have changed vets. They treat you like you are an idiot. They put you on hold and forget you are waiting. They call you to set an appointment to review test results, then they demand a $50 "consultation fee" before you can talk to a doctor to discuss lab (blood test) results. Evidently, you must interpret the results on your own unless you pay the hostage fee. When I tried to set a meeting to discuss with Dr Kaufman, I was deny access to him. This place is just insane. Maybe they were bought out and you have a "Dr Brown" as the office manager. I suspect she has a PhD in finance on how to nickel and dime customers. The final straw was I was not able to have a discussion with Dr Kauffman. I feel I was blocked from talking to him. I'm done with being "managed" when my pup is the at risk. Damn shame!!!! Read the most recent reviews and see the pattern. This place treats people with disrespect. I would love to have a call with Dr Kaufman to get closure. My first question will be "what changed with your front office". In a small town, people want a relationship with the vet, not the front office. If the tail (front office) thinks they wag the dog, they are sorely mistaken! Keep treating clients like I was, you will have no more customers. Prove me wrong. I'm out!

The front desk was very helpful and got us in quickly. My little chiweenie is a very anxious, anti-social little gal and when I tell you the vet tech and doctor were so sweet with her and examined her so gently, it put my anxious heart at ease. My girl did so well with them. They fixed her right up and she's already resting much easier. I do think they were a bit in the pricey side but for the love and care that they showed her and the time that they gave us, it is so worth it.

Teaching the two babies pretty much everything was a whole other story! We needed help. I have a lot of issues medically that made it difficult for me to train them myself, not to mention my mom was coming in from out of town in a very short time. After talking to my vet and some of the girls in the office, I was told about Ashley and her training with Naughty Dog. I had done research and priced several different people and just could not afford for someone to come to my home. Finally, I reached out to Ashley and she came by to go over her techniques and her program. We decided to choose Naughty Dog, and just after one session, both my husband's and my mind were blown! Ashley truly knows what she is doing and is amazing with dogs. She definitely went above and beyond and we were quite surprised. One thing she taught me was that it's not just the training, but the owners have to be willing to work with their pets as well if you just want her to train them and be done, you will be disappointed. As an owner, you have to have responsibility in the training as well. That means a lot of work on your part and "homework" so to speak. If you give them a little bit of work and follow Ashley's direction you will truly be successful. Naughty Dog is great and they truly take the time to study your pet and make sure that they are a good fit. I love you bunches, Ashley! You have a gift so I hope you are able to continue showing and teaching other dogs and their owners !
