If you are thinking is this program worth it or not the answer is absolutely. My dog was getting…read moreout of control by starting to lunge at people and other dogs/cars. With my dog being 7 years old I didn't know if the program could help or not at this point. I called just for advice on my situation and ended up sending my dog for training. Nicole was so sweet and caring just to help without even sending my dog here I could tell this was a place he should go to. Since my dog has been home we have been in public together multiple times (which I would never be able to do before) and I've had complete strangers tell me how well behaved my dog is. It is such a great feeling to see my dog doing so well and able to go on walks with him not going out of control. He is confident in himself and so much more relaxed and aware of walking with me. Grateful this company exists and for the people who run it are nothing short of incredible human beings to send your dogs to.

I can't recommend red Fox dog training enough! I rescued a pit mix from one of the local shelters,…read moreand they had deemed her dog aggressive. After spending approximately a month in their board in-state program, my girl was deemed neutral with other dogs, and confident in herself. They taught her how to socialize with other Doggo's and work on basic obedience and skills. We are a couple months out from her stay and they have continue to follow up with me and work on any issues that may have a rose.

Scott is amazing and has made such a huge difference with our puppy! Before training, our pup…read morereally struggled with general obedience, walking on a leash, and some aggression towards other dogs and people. Now our girl is able to enjoy her walks, play with other dogs happily at the dog park, get attention from other humans and she is kennel trained! Seeing her run around the dog park playing with other dogs is an amazing thing to see. It is incredible how much she improved so quickly with Scott's help. Scott is very encouraging and gave us the knowledge we needed to be good owners to our dog, her life is better because of his help! We genuinely look forward to every session working with Scott and have been totally amazed by how our dog has grown.

The store is fine. I have an issue with the grooming salon. We had an appointment at 12:30. My…read morehusband arrived at 12:25. He was told it was going to be about 3 hours before she would be done because there was another dog before us that had not been taken back. Now my dog is sitting in the back room of the groomers for 3 hours. What is the point of making an appointment if they are not going to honor it. There was no explanation as to why the dog before us was put into our appointment time. I don't understand why there was not a phone call letting us know they were running late. If I was there I would have taken my dog and left. I will never use this grooming service again. Very disappointed that they don't have basic customer service skills.

I really like this PetSmart! It doesn't hurt that it is the closest to me in the Posner Park area…read more But that isn't why I love this place. They have a huge selection of what I need, which is cat accessories and food. I've always had wonderful experiences here. I've never left here empty-handed. My son comes here to get his hamster supplies. He finds everything he needs as well. It's so hard to not stop by on Saturdays and see the kitties for adoption! I already have four so I need to stop. I just outed myself as a cat lady lol. All in all the customer service is great, the selection is great, and I highly recommend this location!

I highly recommend Buena Vista Dog Training. Whenever I found her business online, it said she was…read morebased out of Davenport (where I resided) so I thought perfect! Then I found out she had relocated and google just hadn't updated it yet for some reason. So I was hesitant, but then we had our phone consult, and i got to hear all about her experience with animals (not just dogs) and how passionate she was about dog training. And afterwards- I was more than happy to make the hour trip to meet with her every week. And still to this day I don't regret it. She did an amazing job helping my boyfriend and I, with our puppy. Delilah was originally purchased to be my service dog prospect. However unfortunately because of how much of a struggle it was to train her in certain areas, I had to wash her early on. But now that we've finished our sessions with Kendra, I feel more strongly of Delilah becoming a service dog one day than I ever have before! And for that I'll be forever grateful. Not only for that, but also for how understanding Kendra was. Thank you "Buena vista dog training LLC" for giving me the opportunity to work with you, and for helping to strengthen the relationship my dog and I have. We appreciate you so much and our time spent together was a great opportunity.
