(We've had previous dogs of the same breed and never encountered this.) Through Bark Busters we were able to gain control with consistency and expectations, never resorting to bribes or harshness.

It was embarassing daily when she barked and lunged at people for no apparent reason. I had my first 2 hour lesson with Jason last night, and the difference I can see in my Teeka already has made me enjoy our walk this evening, instead of me feeling uneasy of her reactions towards people we pass on our walks. I would highly recommend Jason as he was able to assess my dog's unwanted bullying behaviour as "guarding me" in my house and in public. He showed me how to take control at home, and and on our walks. I look forward to our next 3 sessions and a calmer and socially graceful pup.

Jason is the puppy whisperer. It's as simple as that. He understands dogs and dogs understand him…read more My puppy is my first dog and I had no idea what I was doing. My fear of doing the wrong thing was affecting my dog and was making me an ineffective dog owner. Jason corrected my behaviour so that we could correct my puppy's behaviour. She's 6 months old right now and is a very relaxed and well adjusted pup. Nobody ever tells you just how much work having a puppy is and Jason put my mind at ease and gave me the confidence to take her out and not over react to situations because now I KNOW that she will come when called. With Jason's help I learned to enjoy my puppy and everything that comes with being a puppy. I realize that her puppyhood is short lived and I am enjoying every minute of it. Within my first meeting with Jason I learned the basics of what to do and what not to do, what dogs need in order to thrive, (and no, it's not just bones and love) and how to properly communicate with my dog to let her know what I want from her. Trust is key in a relationship with your pet and I wouldn't have learned that without Jason's help. No amount of reading puppy books or talking to other dog owners will give you the in depth knowledge and hands on experience that Jason will provide. If you're doing something wrong, Jason will tell you and understand that this is what's best for your pet. Mango and I both love Jason and would highly recommend him to any old or new pet owners. Thanks Jason, see you at the dog park!

Inise is a fantastic dog trainer who taught us so much about dog behaviours and how to make us a better pet owner. When you first walk into the place and see all the dogs that are there regularly, you maybe overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time. It's very low key and fun for the four legged friends but, there are also discipline and rules for all. It is such a great environment for us as dog owners and our pets to learn and socialize. If you're unsure, Inise and her team will guide you to the best of their ability. It is very important to socialize your dogs. Be a responsible pet owner and take them there for puppy classes, obedience classes, and social Sunday!

When I picked him up, the information I received was that he was having a really hard time throughout his grooming experience. No one called me to tell me he was struggling and to suggest I come and pick him up immediately. I WAS IN THE PLAZA!!! In fact, my poor dog was in so much pain we had to go to an emergency vet immediately. The grooming place denied any incident and I will never find out the truth, but obviously something happened while he was being groomed that caused him an injury and tremendous pain. And knowing what he was experiencing, we were shocked that they NEVER even called to follow up and see how he was doing. How can a grooming place have so little compassion for dogs? I would never recommend this place.

One gloomy overcast morning in March, I thought maybe I'll get a little dog because I needed to mother a fur baby. Two days later I had a three month old white Maltipoo puppy. I like to shop locally and I decided to take my "Delilah" for her first groom at Pet Grooming Studio. I commend them on being very strict with being up to date with all shots. They ask you how you want things done which is a plus. I get the call she is ready and wow they did a fantastic job. They even put a curchief on her! I had Mika as her groomer and she handled my girl so very gentle. Mika was cradling her as if my girl was her very own. I just had Delilah's second groom done yesterday and she is perfect! When I dropped her off yesterday they had the door open to the back, & I was able to see the grooming stations. Everything looked clean, neat & organized. I've recommended this groomer to a few people and will continue. Groomers have an intimate relationship with our fur babies and trust is # 1. The Pet Grooming Studio is a solid gold 5+ stars groomer and they have me as a repeat, satisfied and very happy customer. From Victoria & Delilah
