After our first appointment with him, Scott was so kind, understanding, and helpful, that my husband and I felt so taken care of, and Toby as well. You can really see Scott's love and passion for animals. The sessions with him were so informative and he gave us basic skills to apply with our pup when working with him. We have already noticed a huge difference in Toby. Scott has an excellent understanding of dog behavior and is the only behaviorist I will recommend in the DFW area to other pet owners. We are also certain , he is our dog behaviorist for life as Toby grows and gets older. Absolutely LOVED our experience with him!

He thoroughly and skillfully answered all our questions. You won't find a more compassionate or better qualified dog behaviorist. We're in Los Angeles and worked with him via Zoom. Even if you're not in the DFW area, I recommend working with Scott. His guidance helped not only with our dog's big life transition, but with any fear or anxiety we had as dog owners. We can't thank him enough for being instrumental in our process of creating a happy home with our girl, Pippa. I also highly recommend his library of dog behavior and training videos. They're an invaluable resource.

Orthotics were NEVER discussed with me, even when I asked. That is very upsetting. Yes, we do currently have an "off the shelf" brace while we await the shipment of the custom brace. As you know, a custom brace takes weeks to make after the mold of the pet's leg is submitted with the order. When it comes to our pet, we do not worry much about how much things cost. We just want him happy and comfortable. Note, you spelled my name wrong. ******************************************** I didn't have a good experience with Dr. Stramel at Advanced Care Veterinary Services. I was happy when my veterinarian referred me to Advanced Care Veterinary Services for my 13-year-old Labrador Retrievers tendon injury as an alternative to surgery. I was also pleased with the reviews I read. At the consultation Dr. Stramel provided options (with very little discussion or recommendation): 1) MRI or CT scan to get a "true diagnosis" 2) Surgery 3) Treat based on observation/ at surface level - with laser and acupuncture and reassess in 6 weeks and consider Platelet Rich Plasma injections. We weren't sure if an MRI or CT scan was needed since we weren't doing surgery. Based on Dr. Stramel's experience we opted to treat based on observation with laser and acupuncture. Dr. Stramel assessed my dog and treated him for "superficial digital flexor tendon issue". At each session, I tried to ask questions including any recommended exercises I could do with my dog at home. I was told "there is nothing you can do". I asked about the use of a splint/ brace and was told "no that won't help". Even though Advanced Care Veterinary Services has Orthotics listed as a service on their website. At weak 5 I told Dr. Stramel I didn't notice any improvement. He said, "this dog needs surgery". I was so frustrated!! After all this time and almost $1,000 spent, I didn't have a true diagnosis or a treatment plan. I didn't feel like he was "direct" with me regarding what he could do for my pet specific to laser and acupuncture. I then met with an Orthopedic surgeon at Dallas Veterinary Surgical Center. My dog was diagnosed with a partial left calcaneal tendon injury with an intact superficial digital flexor. The surgeon understood the concern about putting our 13-year-old dog through surgery that had a 12-week recovery. As an alternative, he suggested rehab, using the underwater treadmill, and the use of a splint/ brace. Once we have the brace we can talk about Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment. Next, we went to North Texas Animal Rehab for a consultation. After explaining the sequence of events related to my dog's injury, I was shown exercises I could do at home with my pet, and which splint/ brace to get. They were shocked to find out that Dr. Stramel hadn't gone over the option to provide a splint/ brace or go over any at home exercises. Again, frustrated and upset. I'd lost 6 weeks of time. My dog could have had a splint/ brace to effectively immobilize the injury while allowing him some safe physical mobility. Its' been about 2 1/2 month since the injury occurred. My dog just started wearing his brace and has adapted quickly. It's not a permanent fix, but I can see he is happy to be mobile. I finally feel like I'm in good hands with DVSC and North TX Animal Rehab. I wish I'd gone there first!

This review is long overdue. I sent my puppy to The Collar Academy about 18 months ago for five…read moreweeks. He was never a bad dog but I wanted him trained to walk with me off-leash and he would occasionally have resource-guarding issues that I wanted to break. During the five weeks, I got to visit him only once but I knew he was in great hands. Shortly after I picked him up, we went on a road trip. And that's when strangers first started complimenting how well-behaved he is. After returning home, we started going back to his favorite dog park and people always asked how I got him so well-trained. A few months later, I guess I finally decided to try walking with him off leash following not only the training they gave him but me. I was shocked I actually had better control of him off leash than on. The Collar Club is definitely the best investment I've made in my dog and I'm so grateful I did.

BEWARE OF THIS FACILITY!!!! Would rate 0 stars if I could…read more Booked our freshly one year old, completely healthy, labradoodle for the 3 week board and train. Dropped him off 5/23/2026, went to our in-facility training on 6/6/2026 and he was perfectly fine (wanted to jump on us and kiss us but they didn't let him because he was in training to learn to be a better boy... wishing we got to have a few more kisses from him), facility contacted us 6/10/2026 evening and said he was being weird and that they'd monitor him, we had to put him down 6/11/2026 just 4 days before he was supposed to graduate and come home to us. Facility was so cold about the whole situation, didn't even apologize for our loss and has since ghosted me after requesting a refund (because not only do we no longer have a dog to use the service we paid for, we didn't even get to complete the course). The facility had him tested without our permission and the results showed he had contracted a contagious virus, which could have only been from this facility. He was a young, healthy pup who had never been around other dogs. We are so heartbroken and just hope this doesn't happen to anyone else who entrusts these people to care for their fur baby. I've given them plenty of time to try to make things right amicably. I am a very understanding person, but the fact that they couldn't even muster up the dignity to even respond to me was my last straw. Everyone who considers this facility needs to know the damage they have caused our family. Sammy boy was our baby girl's first birthday present last year and they were the best of friends. They were supposed to have the best childhood together and were completely robbed of that. I truly believe he would still be with us if we didn't enroll him at the Collar Club. edited to reply to owners response: perfect example of deflection and trying to save your business. all of that is false. you don't have the decency to respond to my emails but can be a keyboard warrior on a review... exactly the type of person I expected I was dealing with.
