Wanting to socialized while working off some of his energy we decide to place him in day care. We originally placed him in a different day care. Discrimination is the only work I can use to describe our experience with them. After just a hand full of time they asked us not bring him back cause he was" too big." That is all they could say, there was no incident, they simply did not take the time nor had the experience handling my breed of dog Being a working we need to get our dog out, we decided try out The Barking Dog. They took the time to listen ! The day of his evaluation we explained our previous experience & who our dog personality as well as needs. They took the time to explained their evaluation process to place him in a group that fit him. Their groups are smaller than the previous day care. They slowly introduced him to the other dogs so not to over whelm him. When he was picked up on his fist day he was calmer than previously , & wiped out! We could not be more happy!

I will never take my pet here ever again! My cat needed to be boarded while I was having life…read moresaving medical treatment and they almost killed my cat! My cat was incredibly sick from her boarding stay with them. She still is incredibly sick even now and it's a week and a half later.  I completed the survey they email you asking for feedback after my pet's boarding. At the end of it they request you to email them if you had any issues before you post any reviews. I did so 5 days ago and no one cared enough to respond, so now I'm warning everyone about this awful place.  When I picked her up from her boarding stay, she was sneezing and had a noticeable foul odor when the person brought her out to me in her cat carrier.  She's needed to see her vet and hundreds of dollars have now been spent to help her get better. She's had a fever of 104.9, is sneezing nonstop, barely eating, pawing at her nose nonstop, her eyes have discharge, and her right nostril is completely blocked. Her vet said it was a upper respiratory infection and a bacterial infection. My cat has never been sick once in the almost 2 years I've had her. She's absolutely miserable still at this moment.  I paid extra for the gold package for her stay with them. If she was getting all the extra attention that is supposed to be included in that, there's no way they couldn't notice she was very ill. Then on top of that, the sheet with notes about her stay only said one thing: "She was shy at first and then turned into a purring machine." Nothing about how she ate, nor how ill she became. The fact that no one bothered to care that she was ill or notify me is appalling. She deserved way better than this. The fact that no cared to contact me about this is equally troublesome.  She also didn't come home with everything she arrived with there. This required me to have to go in and get her blanket this later in the week. They treated me like I was inconvenience when I went in to get it.  She will never board with this facility ever again! Do not trust them to care for your pet! Update: They are claiming they've called me and left me voicemail messages, which is a complete lie! Vanessa Nevin emailed me today (6 days later) and I have already responded to her. Stop lying and trying to downplay your negligence. You've made a bad situation far worse. Worst customer service I've ever experienced.

If you're at your wits end with your dog's bad behavior, you've come to the right place. I can't…read moresay enough good things about Rob and his Dogs Listen To Us training program. When I contacted him about our 7 month old beagle Bullet, I was at the end of my rope! He had numerous behavioral issues from the time we brought him home at 8 weeks old. He displayed resource aggression over objects, never listened to anything we said, wouldn't come when called, pulled terribly when walking on leash, constantly walked the floors, slept very little, howled loudly and continuously whenever we put him in his crate, etc. In short, he was completely wild, uncontrollable, and was making our lives miserable every day. By the time I contacted Rob, we had already tried having a trainer come to our house for weekly sessions and completed PetSmart's puppy and intermediate training classes with little to no success. When I spoke with Rob on the phone, it was the first time since the week we brought Bullet home that I truly had hope that he wasn't a lost cause. Rob explained his board and train program and the techniques he uses thoroughly, and I was immediately impressed and felt confident in his knowledge and abilities. Even more importantly, he told me that he definitely believed he could help. When we hung up, I actually began to believe that Bullet's bad behavior could change, and it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. During the training process, Rob brought Bullet home for weekly sessions with us so we could see what he had learned and participate in his training and learn along with him. Every session, Bullet's behavior got better and better, and we were always very pleased with the progress he had made. Those sessions were invaluable to us because of how much we learned about how to maintain his training after he came home. Rob even kept him for two extra weeks at no additional charge because he didn't feel Bullet was quite where he needed to be with his training and wanted more time to get it right. Bullet has been home almost two weeks now, and we are absolutely amazed at how different he is! He listens to and obeys commands, he comes whenever we call him, he heels very well on walks and doesn't pull on leash, he sleeps during the day like he should, sleeps in his crate all night and never whines or howls, and is just an all around good boy. He's so much more content, relaxed, and obedient than he was before Rob's program. Bullet is honestly like a totally different dog. Now we truly enjoy being with him instead of feeling constantly irritated and on edge all the time. Bullet has gone from being a source of constant frustration to being a source of constant joy and companionship. Rob, we can't thank you and Dogs Listen To Us enough for how much you've helped Bullet to become the good dog we sincerely hoped he could be.

Rob has improved the quality of our daily lives with our two dogs more than we can perhaps…read morecommunicate in words. After being hesitant about the investment for private lessons, we quickly realized what a tremendous value it was. We told everyone we knew after that first session that we would have paid the full fee if that first session was the only session. Our golden retriever, Huck, was quickly renamed by our friends and family as "good boy Huck" for his rapid transformation. We can now take him into just about any situation with a relaxed mindset and confidence that we have control over him on, or off the leash. Rob's no-nonsense approach put us at ease and simply worked. Our private lessons took place at our house, a couple of other locations "in the world" and ended with dog introductions at his house with some of the board and train dogs. Rob worked to deliver on every single thing we told him we were concerned about when we spoke with him before we started lessons, sometimes remembering concerns that we had long forgotten. We're now taking what we learned in our sessions with Huck to train our now 4-month-old puppy in the same way. We recommend Rob to everyone we possibly can, and will continue doing so every chance we get. Thanks, Rob!

We took a reactive rover course. Definitely would NOT recommend if you have a reactive dog. The…read morefirst 2 weeks are virtual, which is great but the next 2 are in person. The in person classes are extremely stressful with maybe 10 full minutes of face to face time with a trainer. On top of that, there's about 12-15 reactive dogs in the same parking lot! It's almost impossible to hear direction and because there's so many dogs barking and the training can't really be adjusted to your dogs needs. We didn't have any issues with the trainers or advice given, just with the value of the class. We paid a lot of money to put ourselves and our dog in a VERY stressful environment. The cherry on top, is that at the end of the last in person session the trainer said "Now it's not good to have your reactive dog around other reactive dogs, so try to get them around calm dogs." WHAT? Then why would you have a class full of reactive dogs? This course was not worth our money. I would recommend one on one training for any reactive issues.

I was excited to attend class each week to see what we were learning each day. The structure of the course was well thought out and made sense. Katie is a very knowledgeable, friendly and effective trainer. She really is a natural teacher for both humans and dogs. She gave us very good advice and our pup learned and matured a ton. Katie was open to answering any questions and provided thorough and thoughtful responses. She did great with covid protocol, too. I've already signed up for the level 2 class and would highly recommend taking any class here. I've heard the other trainers are great, too. The price was incredibly reasonable especially considering the quality of the training. Go check them out!

We did extensive research and found Genna and her services. After Genna's two-week boot camp, Maddie was a whole new dog. My favorite part was Genna came to our house and trained my family to follow through with all the commands she taught Maddie. She genuinely wants what's best for every dog family she works with. Now, we can go for walks, let Maddie run free outside, and enjoy spending quality time together. We are looking forward to doing a second round of training to see what else Genna can teach our dog. email - tigerseyek9services@gmail.com
