I know for emergencies you are not going to get a Vet around here after hours. You won't an where. You have to go to Allentown 's 24 hr Pet Centers and expect at least a $1000 dollar bill. I think Wilkes Barre has an Urgent Care Pet Hospital as well. If you love your pet enough then you will spend the money. This is also why I always have a back up Vet in case I can't get my pet into one Vet I have another Vet they can go to. It is not different than people.

The woman on the phone said she would speak to the doctor...she came back on the line and we were told the doctor would not come to the phone and we should take our dog to an emergency animal hospital....I asked the woman if it this was because they were closed...and the response was...."No, we're booked"...I explained again the circumstances and stated I didn't feel our dog was going to make it....again...she stated there was nothing they could do.....This however is what they post on their WEB PAGE.... Emergency & Urgent Care We have a veterinarian and personnel on duty 5 days a week who are trained and equipped to handle any urgent care your pet has. Emergencies can be things such a poisoning, hit by car, LENGTHY SEIZURES, etc. If you ever feel that your pet needs emergency treatment do not hesitate to call or come in immediately. If possible it is best to call before coming in so that a team member can advise you on your particular emergency........ Obviously, in our particular case, they must have forgot what they advertise....Remember, THEY WERE STILL OPEN at the time. I'm sure they were busy, and I'm sure the "virus stuff" excuse will have some bearing on their response...but the lack of compassion or care they exhibited, just very much disappointed us. Ultimately, in a panic, we called WILLOW CREEK VETERINARY HOSPITAL, a friend of mine had told me about this place a while ago.....they told us to bring her down IMMEDIATELY FOR EMERGENCY TREATMENT...We had never been there before, but they took us without question....ultimately our little girl had to be let go to fly with the Angels.....However, the concern and compassion and care, the doctor and staff at WILLOW CREEK showed us, have made a lasting impression on us....remember we were NOT their patients...but they treated our dog in her final moments like they had her all her life... Obviously I am writing this out of disappointment for how we feel we were abandoned in a time of dire medical need by the folks at COMPANION....I am sure there are those that have had good experiences at COMPANION ...I am not writing to sway anyone's belief....merely to vent my frustration...

I'm so glad we enrolled in Tony's classes at K9 academy because now we have a obedient dog and the confidence to continue with his training throughout the rest of his life. Most people are nervous to bring their beloved pets to trainers for fear of training to be too rough on them, I know we had our concerns when looking into trainers. Tony is very careful and shows you how to properly correct your dog from bad behaviors without hurting them like some of the other extreme methods for dog training. K9 academy charges a fair price for such a great experience, training and confidence you get with training your dog. I loved the fact that if I have questions even outside of class at anytime during the day I can call him for help and he will guide us in the right direction. You can't get that kind of service from any corporate pet store that offers dog training. Tony also never tried to up sell us on any kind of equipment for training or classes that he felt we didn't need. Tony's very passionate about his work and you can really tell his love for dogs when you meet. K9 academy offers so many different class everything from basic obedience to bomb sniffing training so it's easy to find something right for you and pursue your dogs training as high as you'd like. Our puppy is now 8 months old and is an extremely well behaved and gentle dog. Tony will forever train our dogs as we adopt more of them. If I could rate this place any higher than 5 stars I would.

We have been learning from her for approximately two years. Caitlin is incredibly resourceful when developing and modifying training plans. She has even met us at Trexler Park to work on Bailey's skills. The last time we met at the park we worked on recall and then realized that Bailey had an abundance of energy. Caitlin suggested that we work on loose-leash walking skills instead (which meant that Bailey was able to learn while "burning off" some of her excitement and energy.) [Fun fact: Caitlin works with birds, cats, reptiles, etc, etc] I get very nervous initially when working with a trainer and one of my dogs. My self-talk is usually "why can't I do this the way the trainer is" and/or "I should have taught Bailey these skills before." First and foremost, Caitlin is very positive, encouraging and understands my level of "training anxiety." . And she also takes the time to understand the ever-changing home dynamics; including the relationship between Bailey and our other dog, Bella. Our most recent training was at a group class held in Trexlertown. Bailey was able to ultimately complete a "down" command with hand signals only. We have been practicing daily. Caitlin can be found on both Facebook and Instagram. This week, she demonstrated unique "Kong" recipes to keep dogs interested and working for their food. Recipes are on her blog. I trust Caitlin completely and appreciate her "focusing on the positive" with her canine (and human) clients.

I contacted Caitlin regarding training for my German Shepherd rescue who is 7 months old. After…read morecompleting the initial evaluation, I felt optimistic that she would be able to work with me to help train my puppy so I purchased her 7 session at-home one-on-one package. During that session she stated that my dog had anxiety which I believed could be true due to her unknown past. She had recommended supplements and a costly CBD oil. On the day of our first session, she called me at the time of our scheduled session and said she had brought along her dog as well as a dog she was board and training. She had not given me any prior notification that the dogs were along with her nor asked for my approval to bring them onto my property. For the first 15 minutes of the session, the dogs she brought along ran around my backyard and my dog (who is still warming up and settling in with new people and other dogs) was rightfully very timid and scared. She then asked me what we would be working on that day and I had voiced to her (in our evaluation session as well) that crate training was very important to me and for the safety of my puppy when leaving my home. She then commented that would require going in the house, where she brought the dogs into my home (once again without asking permission). The dogs continued to be a distraction to my dog who you could tell was incredibly stressed and uncomfortable, clearly unable to focus and train. At that time, she did remove the dogs from my house and brought them out to her car. At this point, we had about 10 minutes left in the session where she pivoted to a completely different subject and tried to train my dog who was still very uncomfortable and scared by what happened previously. She proceeded to make comments with no actual facts that my dog was acting that way because she is "in pain", "has a very weak back" and that her behavior is incredibly "abnormal". I rescued her from an extremely reputable German Shepherd Rescue where she had been examined by a veterinarian and deemed healthy for adoption. Leading up until the moment she and the other dogs arrived my dog was perfectly content and has shown no signs of pain or discomfort in the time I have owned her. I had started giving her the recommended supplements and CBD oil and had started noticing that she was having an easier time settling. She commented that she had noticed no changes in my dogs behavior and that I should start giving her more CBD oil -- once again, my dog was incredibly uncomfortable after the unfamiliar dogs were in our yard/home and her disposition showed that. After this extremely frustrating and disappointing session, I reached out to her to explain how I was dissatisfied by what had occurred during our training session and especially for the price of what her sessions cost. I also voiced how I felt as though the trust had been broken and that I did not believe she was the best fit for my dog and myself. I attempted to end the relationship amicably by requesting a partial refund since she had not fulfilled any services. She provided me a refund at the cost of one singular session (which now after doing further research is an astronomical rate). While I do not discredit that she has been in the business for quite some time, I regret not taking some of the reviews that have been written more seriously, as it appears others have had extremely similar situations where she has given a "medical diagnosis" regarding their pet's behaviors. During this short relationship, she made me feel as though there is something wrong with my dog and has caused us both an unnecessary amount of stress on top of financial loss.
