I boarded my pup here at the recommendation of a friend, but had a very bizarre and unpleasant…read moreexperience. Upon dropping off my pup, Katie told me that she loved shelter mutts and that they had such a special place in her heart. After about 24 hours of boarding, I got a text with a picture of my pup enjoying life and living large resting in a dog pool. She said that my dog was "doing great" and that he was "such a sweetheart". It was great to receive an update and I enjoyed my vacation knowing that my pup was happy and in good hands. After I returned from vacation, I excitedly rushed to pick up my fur baby when Katie told me that my pup had been a problem and asked if I had ever had any issues with him attacking other dogs. On the verge of tears I told her that there had not been any issues and then asked what happened. Katie exclaimed that my dog attacked 3 other dogs and that he had sent them to the veterinarian. I asked for pictures, owner's contact information, and veterinary bills so that I could pay for the damage and contact the owners, but Katie told me that I shouldn't worry about it and that "she wasn't even going to tell me". I thought this was very strange- I certainly need to know if my dog attacked 3 other animals! Katie told me that my pup had to be kept separate from other dogs and then described my lab mix as a "pitbull" and asserted that "all pitbulls get violent at some point or another". Later on in our conversation, Katie mentioned that she needed to take the 3rd dog (that my dog attacked) to the vet because my pup attacked him on the 4th of July when everything was closed. This made my ears perk up- It was the 5th of July and earlier Katie had asserted that my dog had been in isolation for the last few days... How could my dog have attacked a dog on the 4th if he was in isolation? When my pup was brought out he was visible shaken and he looked as if he had been running wild in the woods for a month. He was covered in scars/gashes, which a month and a half later, still have yet to heal. Luckily, after 3 days my pup stopped cowering and began acting like himself again. I can't imagine my pup acting violently, but at the end of the day he is an animal and I wasn't there to see what happened. Unfortunately, Katie couldn't produce any documentation to support her claims. I don't know what happened during my pup's stay at Blacksburg Critter Care, but it was not a pleasant experience and I highly recommend you take your fur baby elsewhere. My pup has stayed at Heartstrings several times now and we have not had any issues.

Off Leash K9 Training has been a life changing experience for us. We purchased the basic and…read moreadvanced obedience package (8 private lessons) for each of our dogs. The lessons occurred throughout August and September, so this review might be a little overdue, but I've had time to reflect on the experience. First off, we got our two boys as puppies and wanted to be able to take them everywhere we go. At the time of the training, one was almost 2 and the other a little over a year old. Both could be obnoxious at times, barking at other dogs that walked by; trying to take off after every squirrel, bird, deer, etc. that they saw; going nuts when the doorbell rang; and a drive thru window was a complete nightmare. Doing anything with them was becoming more and more stressful. We decided we had to try something and contacted Crystal, the owner, who listened to our concerns and goals, patiently answered all of our questions, and made recommendations based upon the info provided. Our private lessons with Lyndsey, our trainer, soon began. She was definitely "our trainer" as teaching us was a huge component of the process. Not only did she teach us what do to, she took the time to explain why. That made all the difference as it prompted us to start thinking through situations, made us better problem solvers, and even made us better at preventing problems and setting the dogs up for success. One of our dogs, Cash, has had a huge turn around. Turns out, he is very routine-oriented and likes structure and knowing what he is supposed to do. Now that we have figured that out, he is so much more confident, way less anxious, and seems to enjoy outings and activities. Carter, the younger of the two, has a completely different personality. He has always been very easygoing and affectionate but also very curious, easily distracted, and not afraid of much. His safety was a concern for us because he wouldn't follow directions and would venture off after a bird, squirrel, etc. I was constantly being pulled when we were walking or startled by his barking at different things he saw. His leash manners have improved significantly and we can walk pretty much anywhere, go into stores, dine out at a restaurant with an outdoor patio, etc. Just last week, they were both able to walk with us on the beach off leash. Again, the experience has been life changing for us. We feel confident taking them places, having friends over, etc. They are always complimented when we are out about how well behaved they are. We do continue to work with them on a regular basis. That's a point that Lyndsey was sure to make. We are grateful to her for teaching us how to teach our dogs.
