The owners just recently helped us purchase a dressage horse from another barn in New York and we couldn't have been more pleased with their attention to detail through out the process. If you are looking for a barn that focuses on Dressage you will not find one better than FEC. The world class clinics of Olympian Dressage riders and trainers that they bring to Maine are incredible. Their knowledge about Dressage is second to none. The owners have high expectations because they are a cut above the barns that do group lessons or just trail ride. I couldn't imagine my wife or daughter riding anywhere else.

The way it was handled was unprofessional and disturbing to my daughters who were taking lessons there. Rosemary had been there for 7 years. I don't know how long Allie was there. These two women know horses and how to teach riding and grooming. It was a great place to go. It was comfortable, not snobby. They became friends quickly with our family. It was disturbing how this was handled. I am sorry that this had to happen and I won't be taking my daughters there. South Portland, Maine

It's hard being a single doggy mom. Especially when you work long hours and the former doggy daddy…read moreisn't in the picture anymore and doesn't even acknowledge the existence of his once beloved pup. So, rather than shacking up with the next available dude who might make a decent dad to my 65 pound pit bull, I opted to explore the dog walker option. So much cheaper. And the interview process is not nearly as tedious. I was referred to Mindy by my neighbors who have two very dog-aggressive pups. And while Gus is not dog aggressive, per se, he doesn't like every dog he meets, so it takes a diligent and knowledgeable walker to ensure his and everyone else's safety. Mindy seemed to be right up our alley. Mindy stopped by the house and met Gus. He loved her. Immediately. Kisses and jumping and that lean in dogs do when they are feeling particularly affectionate. She asked all the right questions and, when I had questions, she had all the right answers. She leaves little notes telling me about their walk and whether his business was appropriately done. Unfortunately Gus can be a total pain in the ass and his report card will sometimes read "Gus was a little stubborn today." Which means he probably refused to walk and threw a temper tantrum with his leash. Mindy puts up with a lot of bullshit. But she never complains and I love knowing he's in such good hands. And I feel a lot less guilty when I have to stay at work late knowing that Gus has had an awesome walk that afternoon. My beloved neighbor Jaime, a retired Puerto Rican Vietnam vet who spends most of his summer afternoons sitting on his porch, keeping an eye on the neighborhood, told me this: "That dog walker lady you got is a good one. Make sure you keep her around." And I always listen to Jaime's advice.

I shopped around to find the…read morebest dog walker in JP without spending more money than I had to, and I definitely found it here! I like that they focus on JP so that their clients are closer together. My pup can always use more time socializing, so I appreciate that a walk with a friend or two happens when possible. Or if not, she goes by herself, and that's fine too (at no additional charge). The price for a 30-min. walk has only gone up one dollar in three years; it's currently $16, which is cheaper than anywhere else for that amount of time. They accept PayPal for payment, which is super convenient since who has checks anymore? Finances aside, what I really appreciate about them is their flexibility. Sometimes, our walking days would change each week, and all they asked is that we email on Sunday night to say which days we needed walks. Or we'd go several months without needing walks at all. All of that was fine with them, and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Oh, and my dog completely adores Mindy! I just moved out of the neighborhood and am on the hunt for a new dog walker... it is not easy to find a good one that's reasonably priced. I really miss Mailman's Pet Service!
