Jenna was able to train him out of bad behaviors and her training techniques also helped me less hyper. She gives personal, one-on-one training and also provides tips for play activities to keep the dog stimulated. Even though we only had Jenna for one dog, the techniques ended up working for other dog too. We highly recommend Jenna's calm nature, love for dogs, and passion to provide a dog with a loving educational experience.

She gets nervous when people come into the home and I'm not there which makes pet sitting a challenge - so much so that she was fired as a client by the service I used in Chicago. Enter Newman's. Not only are both sitters, Emma and Christine, lovely people, they handled Edna in stride. They are awesome about sending texts after every visit and give me updates and details so it never feels like they're just checking a box. Christine has been our go-to and she's just awesome...noticing things like new food bowls and finding nice things to say about my salty Edna. I always look forward to her texts when I'm away. The owner, Jena responds to requests immediately (even when she's on vacation) and never has a problem with last-minute schedule changes. Overall, the level of service is truly exceptional - I highly recommend Newman's if you're looking for someone to take amazing care of your pets while you're away.

I've been taking my dog, Milo, to Elkhound Ranch for well over a year now and they're great. I love…read morethat my dog gets an indoor/outdoor room instead of having to be cooped up all day. My dog always seems happy to get there and happy when I pick him up. They've been great about scheduling and I've never had any issues. Only reason I'm not giving a 5/5 is the pick-up policy - To pick up on a Sunday there is a very short timeframe and a fee to do so which ends up being about as much as just having them stay the additional night. Pick-up time otherwise without additional charges is 3pm, which is a challenge for those not able to work from home.

Our dog Ruby just went through a 4 week behavior modification training program with Steph at the…read moreGladstone location. Ruby was reactive on leash and at at our fence with the neighbor dogs, and had problems focusing on us (and what we wanted) while she was outside. She's the first non-food-motivated dog we've ever had, and so we had no idea how to get her attention when she was so focused on everything else. We had only ever trained with treats and that just wasn't working this time. But Steph did know how to train her. After training, our dog is calm and confident. She can loose leash walk in the neighborhood at heel. She's patient and well mannered. A model citizen. She will focus on us when we're outside and come when called, which used to be a struggle if there was a nice breeze, or an interesting leaf, or a bee, or the moon to gaze at. I highly recommend training through KC Dawgz and the associated Digs boarding facility/play group in Gladstone. We dropped Ruby off every morning and picked her up after work, and got to take home a well behaved dog in the evening. She learned while we were working, when we didn't have the time or expertise to do it ourselves. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. If you just have a wacky four legged roommate or a furkid who has a tougher problem, Steph can sort them out for you. The initial consultation was free and easy to schedule and the package we went with included in-home training lessons to make sure everything worked out right at home, too. Some of the best money we have ever spent. (Thank you Steph!!!)

Agreed to pay extra since he is harder to handle. She originally told me 2 to 3 hours. Supposed to have a bath, haircut, nail cut and file them. Within 45 minutes I get a call saying that they clipped his nails but couldn't perform any of the other services. Emily said I can pick him up right now because she just couldn't do her job and my dog wasn't doing well in the kennel. I told her the only time he's in a kennel is when he is being groomed. Unless your dog is perfectly trained, I mean perfectly, don't take them there. + 59

Do not use their grooming services. Staff was not helpful and seemed resistent to check my dog in…read morefor his grooming appointment (we arrived 10 minutes early; other stores have checked him in and taken him back early in the past). Upon picking him up, he was still completely wet and it does not feel or smell like he was shampoo'd. It smells like he was just hosed down, spritzed, then barely dried. I paid for nail trim/grind, teeth, ear, and eye cleaning and none of these services were performed. My dog also seemed very anxious upon pick up, which is not a behavior trait he displayed before his appointment, nor at any other PetSmart grooming locations. My car reeked of smelly wet dog the entire drive, which also indiciates he was not bathed properly. Go to another PetSmart salon for grooming and avoid this nightmare.

Mike at K.I.S.S. Dog training has made a monumental impact not only on our Australian Cattle Dog,…read moreBernie, but our whole family. We started out as a complex case due to Bernie's reactivity towards other people, a variety of objects (mainly those with wheels), hyperactivity, etc. We learned how to keep Bernie under his threshold so he gets to practice good behavior as much as possible. We went through his Babies Don't Bark course and Bernie is now the best older brother to my one month old! I never would have imagined Bernie would be walking next to a stroller or staying calm by lying off to the side when people/dogs pass by but sure enough he's doing it...still with lots of cheese to motivate him :-) Mike helped us get anxiety meds started, which has made a big difference, and has normalized wearing a muzzle! I won't sugar coat the amount of work and patience it takes to keep up on training but it's been worth it. Mike is so responsive in emails (within hours of asking a question) and has lots of YouTube videos and books to help owners. Training a dog is a life long experience! Last year I felt overwhelmed but now I have a better understanding of how to help Bernie in different situations so I feel in control. Special shout-out to Angela for being so helpful with scheduling! Thank you!!
