She stayed again over the Christmas holiday while we were out of the country and the canine flu made headlines in Georgia. Kate and her team did a phenomenal job keeping all the dogs safe and healthy, as well as keeping their owners up to date on the extra steps being taken, including the mobile vet who was on call. We love Jabula and their entire team of hard working dog lovers. Thank you!!!

What's the old saying, "better late than never?"…read more In 2005 I brought my 1-year old aggressive, non-social, Rottie/GS pup, Ruby, to Kate Jackson and Jabula to get her on the right track. I adopted Ruby from a local rescue when she was 6-months old and it was evident that the first few months before I met her were extremely traumatic. Our "meet and greet" went horribly, as she wouldn't let me close, it took me 15 minutes to get her in the car, and she bit me in return. However, there was something about her and I knew we belonged together. I had a contract job in Hawaii early in 2005 that was going to require me to be there for the better part of a month, and I thought that this would be the perfect time for Ruby to get some formal training since I was going to have make accommodations for her car while I was away. Upon finding out about Jabula's 2-week "all-inclusive" program (or whatever it was called back then), I was ecstatic that not only would she have a place to stay for two weeks with company and activity, but she would get the formal training she needed and deserved. It was going to be hard to leave her behind, but after meeting Kate I felt comfortable leaving Ruby under her care. While in Hawaii, Kate sent me emails and responded to my questions about Ruby's progress. I was excited to hear that she was adapting well and learning how to behave. I couldn't wait to come and see her. Once I got home and was able to pick her up, Kate went over all of the training they did (place, heel, come, etc) in an hour long session with us and the results were remarkable! She was still definitely an Alpha, but she wouldn't instigate any altercation, played well with other dogs, obeyed all commands, and was much, much better around strangers that previously she wouldn't dare go around. Ruby passed in 2015 but she was the best trained pup I've ever had, and Jabula was instrumental in making that happen.

I adopted Samson on a Monday and needed a dog walker for the next three days...a nurses shift is far too long to leave a dog home alone. Kelli came to the rescue! Even though it was so last minute she came over and met Samson that night. Truthfully, I could tell it was love at first sight for Sam. She greeted him with a big hug, pets and kiss. Made me feel like my pet was going to be in good hands. Since that day Kelli has been working with my overly rambunctious Boxer Mix 2-3 days a week. I opted for her "playcare" option to give Samson more time out of the house and more time spent getting socialized with other dogs. Samson loves to play with other dogs but is a little socially awkward and needs a little guidance. Kelli, an incredible dog trainer, has been great at working with him om that. Doggie "playcare" is more than a walk, she picks Samson up and he goes all around town with her. They go to the dog park, on other dog walks, and on their own walks. Most days she will take him for 6-7 hours. I love that I can come home exhausted from work and not feel guilty about not taking Samson on another walk because he's equally as exhausted! $25/day for playcare. Kelli also does boarding and vacation walks. She has done boarding for us. Samson gets to stay at her house, play in her back yard, and she'll crate too if the human wants that. Another awesome perk for Kelli's boarding? She even picked up and dropped off Samson since we had both an early departure and late return flight. She also only charges $40/night. Like I said before, I can't say enough great things about Kelli. She loves the animals she's with and makes everything incredibly convenient!

Herb is a truly a godsend and his level of professionalism is leaps beyond any other service we have tried. He has made fast friends with even our shy dog, and we know they are in safe hands--his web portal requires pet information, including vet info should he need it. You can also use his portal to request all sorts of services months in advance should you need to--for me it's great as I have many dates for doctor's appointments that I can book and not have to worry about it in the future. Five star service!

On Friday, December 22nd, 2023 I had the most horrific experience with my Dog Dallas. I took him to…read moreRexy and Roxy's Buckhead, to get groomed at 7:30am. I was VERY specific online in the profile that I had to create, as well as in person the morning that I dropped him off, that I ONLY wanted the hair around his eyes and butt trimmed. When I arrived to pick him up at 3:30pm that afternoon, after just having a 90 minute full body massage, I was a bit out of it, and was in shock when I saw Dallas. He had been shaved down to his coat!!!! I was rightfully upset and expressed my concerns to the SUPER unprofessional, Manager, on duty! She did not apologize nor refund my money. I went the next day, and showed the SUPER unprofessional attendant, "Deshawn '' and he took photos of Dallas and asked me to "give him a few minutes" so I stepped outside. I came back in and he said that he called "Mia" and she said "you were rude yesterday" and he could not do anything. I was only "rude" AFTER she was blatantly nonchalant with regard to what they DID to my dog. It is WINTER and they (Courtney Fields) took all his fur off and WITHOUT my approval. So much so that his ears are no longer covered, and his sweaters DO NOT FIT HIM. In addition the cut IS VERY uneven, especially around his eyes and neck. My poor baby. Mia is incredibly rude and they have not issued my refund. I have attached before and after photos of my dog as well as the filth that was around the front office area. SO DIRTY!!! If I requested a FULL refund of $66.00 by the end of business on Tuesday, December 26th, 2023, and have not heard from anyone. DO NOT GO HERE! I am going to file a civil complaint in Fulton County if I do not get my FULL refund.

My dog Buzz and I absolutely loved working with Betty at Canine PhD!…read more After reading so many glowing reviews for Canine PhD, I decided to give them a try after looking for positive reinforcement trainers near us in Decatur. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made for both Buzz and me! Buzz struggles with anxiety and reacts nervously when new people approach, especially on walks or in public places like restaurant patios. From our very first session, Betty made both of us feel comfortable and confident. She immediately recommended a no-pull harness that made a huge difference. Walking Buzz and his corgi brother, Phil, is finally fun again! I truly missed our morning walks, and it feels amazing to enjoy them again without constantly worrying about Buzz pulling away or Phil getting loose because my attention was elsewhere. What stood out most is that Betty doesn't just train dogs -- she trains their owners, too. She helped me learn how to communicate more clearly and understand what Buzz is feeling. Betty gave us exercises to build trust and confidence. He's already such a happy pup, but he lit up even more during each session, as you can see in his picture! You could tell how proud he was every time he got something right. The whole experience strengthened our bond even more, and I ended up enjoying training far more than I ever expected. Betty also gave us fantastic techniques to help Buzz stay calm when meeting new people, both out in public and at home. He's learned that his bed is his "safe spot," and now he'll go there on his own when guests arrive until he's ready to say hello. It's been such a big, wonderful change seeing him so much more relaxed and secure. We did three sessions at Canine PhD and three at home, which was the perfect balance. It gave us the chance to practice in both structured and real-life settings, and between sessions, we had Betty's helpful homework to reinforce what we were learning and keep us progressing even outside of training. The pricing was very reasonable and the value we got from the training far exceeded what we paid. What I appreciated most was Betty's honesty and empathy. She set realistic expectations right from the start, explaining that this wouldn't be a quick fix -- and she was right. Some dogs are just naturally more anxious, but she gave us the tools and confidence to help Buzz make real progress. I can't recommend Betty and Canine PhD enough! She's a wonderful person! Super patient, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping both dogs and their humans succeed. If you're looking for a trainer who truly understands behavior, builds trust, and brings out the best in you and your pup, Betty is the one to call!

My friends were astonished at how well-behaved and socialized they were. Zsolt trained my dogs and me to do everything from basic obedience (voice commands), advanced obedience (hand signals and whispered commands), agility, and tricks like jumping through hoops. Amazingly, he taught my dogs to NEVER enter my home's open floor plan living room. My home had no baby gates or other devices to bar the dogs from entering the space - just a clear understanding of what is in bounds and out of bounds for them. My dogs were excellent and well-behaved companions in nature and the city thanks to Zsolt's training methods. Our life with dogs was easeful and filled with joy. We will be getting a puppy in the Fall, and she will be Zsolt's doggy student as soon as she arrives home. Zsolt's retainer model is a service that is well worth the investment. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
