Our last session was at a park where we got to practice our new skills in a safe situation with a professional so that I felt in control and at ease practicing them in the "real world." Melissa really listened to what I wanted, what my dog needed, and tailored every session to what would work best for US - not following the same script and steps that everyone gets. I went in hesitant about the training methods but am now more educated than I anticipated; I know more about training, I know more about my dog, and I even know more about myself. It was also a lot of fun!! My dog and I both looked forward to our sessions and it helped us bond a lot. There were quite a few scheduling issues, which was not a huge deal for me, but it was inconvenient at times since I have to drive a bit to get to the facility. Regardless, I will 100% be saving up for another 6 week program!

We recently adopted a new furry family member, a Sheepadoodle to be exact. While we did our…read moreresearch on the breed, I wasn't sure if this breed would live up to their nickname: sharkadoodle. I'm here to say, our pup did. We adopted him at 7 weeks old and after our first vet appointment, we knew we needed to get a trainer, because the quicker you train your pup, the quicker they learn. When we asked our vet if they had any dog trainer recommendations, without hesitation, they mentioned Susan Gillespy with Behavior Training for Dogs. I contacted Susan via her website and within a few hours she contacted me back, asked some general questions, and we set up an appointment for our first dog training. I will say, do your research when looking for a trainer. While you shouldn't be price gouged, it is an investment, and an investment doesn't always come cheap. When I spoke to Susan, I asked how many sessions does a puppy normally need, she mentioned four (typically). She comes to your house, this isn't a group lesson. She arrived on a Saturday morning ready to start work. Susan described her teaching philosophy, what we'd aim to accomplish each session, and checked to see what our concerns were. I really liked how she got everyone in the family involved in the training. She's a big believer in "NFL" "No Free Lunch". Basically your pup/dog needs to work for their food. Each lesson we built on the concepts we learned, like come when called, clicker training, no nipping, sit, stay, down, signal, doorbell training, leash and harness training, jumping, etc. Each week we received homework. Some of our homework was doing 150-200 commands each day. If you do this every day, you'll see progress. By the end of lesson four, I feel like we had a different puppy. While he's still a work in progress, and it's a lifelong learning concept, I feel like this was a good investment. Susan may be tough, but she's fair, and you and your pup will thank you for it. Pros: -Fair pricing -Comes to your home -Works with the entire family -Ability to call/text Susan when you have questions/concerns -Gives you an outline and homework at the end of each lesson Cons: -None Tips: If you go with Susan/another trainer, be sure to continue to work with your pup.

I had a new roof installed on my house this week (see my review for Joe Turner Roofing!)...I knew…read morefrom past experience that it is a very noisy process. I called my vet only to find out they no longer do boarding. But they recommended Happy Hounds. After checking out Happy Hounds online, I called and had the pleasure of speaking to the owner, Brian. He explained I needed to create an account online and once established, I could make a reservation for Molly (THE sweetest Yorkie ever!)..Brian further advised that the first visit is always free! Now that is a real tail-wagger lol. I also told Brian that Molly is a little shy around other dogs and he said he'd keep her up at the front counter with him. The next morning I woke up before sunrise to what sounded like giants stomping on my roof. Molly started a barking spree which I knew would not stop until my roof my done! So we headed to Happy Hounds on Beach Blvd. Brian and a very friendly dog greeted us. I could see and hear many dogs just having a great time in the open area. You have to smile when you see dogs running around like kids on a playground at recess! Brian reassured me he would keep Molly up front with him so she'd be close to a human. (I don't know if it's a Yorkie thing, but she likes to be near or on a person at all times!) I noticed that Happy Hounds is arranged in such a way that you don't need to worry about your precious pup escaping and exploring while there. The neat thing is, you can still see the dogs while they are kept safe. I picked Molly up around 1 PM and there she was, still safe behind the counter - happy, and hanging out with a shy Poodle. Happy Hounds entrance has fencing and a gate similar to what you see around swimming pools...the open metal bars and you have to push down on a knob for the gate the open/close. The gate automatically swings shut once you are inside. I was a little concerned about the location as it's right off of busy Beach Blvd. The fenced access is a great touch. When we were leaving, little Molly did slip through the bars and so she was outside while I was still inside the gate. But I had her on a leash, so everything was OK. Just wanted to mention this in case you have a 10 pounds or less pooch! Thank you Happy Hounds for taking such good care of Molly! You saved her (and me!) from what would have been an extremely stressful day.

My Rottweiler was immediately very receptive. The structure, the material, and the plans set for us gave us the consistency and confidence I needed to train him. Because of the unique methods and tools used based on the superior experience of the extraordinary team at Got Your Back K9 Life training became an instant success, and we accomplished remarkable results within a short period of time. George analyzed Grogu's personality, which the Got Your Back K9 Life team based the training on my 8-month-old Rottweiler should receive. All the various training methods are explained and demonstrated in a way that is easy to understand, implement and practice. In closing I would like to emphasize that the training Grogu and I received saved us from injury and liability at a recent altercation in a dog park where Grogu stayed sit (based on my "stay sit" command) despite being charged by a smaller dog several times. Again thank you so much for all you do to keep dogs and their owners safe, George and the entire Got Your Back K9 Life team! It is never too early to start training your dog and Got Your Back K9 Life is the only place I am trusting with Grogu's and my life. Dr. Andreas Heinrich
