We were not prepared for his energy and realized quickly after a dog DNA test, we needed help! Courtney is AMAZING. She took our wild, destructive, houdini, and turned him into a well trained dog. At pick up she worked with my husband and me so we could learn to take over the training process at home. She also offers lifetime lessons just in case us parents need a little help! She is so calm and patient with us, and when I was struggling on day one out of training, so fast to respond to my messages and reached out again at the end of the day to check in. She posts regularly on Instagram when she will be out in areas for her graduates to come meet up. Love it!!!

Absolutely amazing transformation of our dog! We have a first generation bernedoodle pup who turned…read moreone year old while he was with Courtney. He was a good and smart dog, but very excitable, was terrible on the leash (my fault), had issues with jumping up on people, and would go crazy to play with any other dog. Courtney did an incredible job in addressing all of the challenges listed here and more. Stewie is the perfect dog now, well, almost. He still makes some mistakes, but they have been easily corrected since Courtney also trained us. Our biggest concerns were that after five weeks at his age, he might not remember us -- that didn't happen; and that the training would break his spirit or affect his personality. That didn't happen either. We got him back with all the things we loved about him and none of the things we didn't. Courtney told us it may take a year or more for the training to fully take hold if we continue to work with him consistently; and we will. If you've got a pup who needs training, this is the place to go. We cannot recommend Courtney and Bold City K9 enough. As Courtney says: "discipline is freedom". In Stewie's case, it truly is

She would greet everyone who came to my place with a lovely leap to their face while they were sitting on the couch. She would dig on my couch and did not listen well. Now she is a brand-new puppy. She does not go on my couch or jump on anyone. She seems more confident in herself and calm. Macayla did an amazing job with her, and I am beyond grateful! I enrolled Ellie in their 4/5 weeks training. I got a report card and pictures or videos every Wednesday. I always looked forward to Wednesdays! After Ellie completed her training, we had to go back for our follow up trainings with Macayla. Ellie was beyond excited every time we went back. I have already recommended Unleash Fido to multiple friends. Highly recommend Unleash Fido!

We were recommend Unleash Fido by several people. We scheduled an hour long consultation with Travis who ended up giving us 90 minutes of his time to learn about Lily and discuss their program. Lily had several issues, such as pulling on the leash, lunging at cars, barking at people + other dogs and going absolutely crazy when Amazon/UPS was delivering a package. Ultimately, we booked Lily into their month-long Obedience Training Camp. After receiving weekly report cards that contained photos, videos and a brief update on how the last week was, we were finally ready to pick-up Lily. Our first time picking her up was also our first training with her. We worked on establishing place, having her heel while walking, and working on other things around distractions. Within the first 24 hours back at home, our investment in this training payed dividends. She's obedient on walks, doesn't mind others passing by, comes to us on call, goes to place when told and so much more. We'd highly recommend anyone who's dealing with behavior and/or obedience issues to look into Unleash Fido! It was so embarrassing to have an unruly dog, and this was a true investment that we are so happy we made.

My…read morepack includes David, a 13-year-old Shih Tzu mix; Zoey, an 8-year-old Doberman; and Alice, a 2-year-old Doberman who's been doing service dog training with Devon. Not only has Devon helped Alice with her specialized training, but they've also worked with Zoey and David on refresher lessons and day-to-day living strategies to make managing three very different dogs much easier. Devon's approach is amazing--they adjust their training methods to align with what I'm comfortable with, creating a collaborative and supportive experience. It's never about right or wrong; it's about finding what works best for you and your dog. We've done in-person lessons and board-and-trains, and every time, Alice comes home better than when she left. Alice adores Devon, and knowing she's happy and in such capable hands makes all the difference. Devon is easy to communicate with, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly cares about the well-being of every dog they work with. I can't recommend them enough

I wasn't sure how he would do woth other animals but Devon immediately assured me that they would be able to handle Kapano in their house for his boarding! I was impressed as he came back more confident and mannered around other dogs. I was consistently sent updates and photos of him throughout his stay and made to feel more than welcome to visit. He also came back to me in better shape in terms of muscle! If there was anything Devon had questions about they had no issues contacting me right away to let me know or ask about, I felt very comfortable and safe with my dog remaining under Devons care. I had never had to leave my dog with anyone before so i was reasonably worried as he's been my bestfriend for 6 years but i am EXTREMELY satisfied with Devons services and will continue to use devon for any training/boarding related needs for the future. I cannot recommend Arcane Canine enough! And thank you Devon for taking the best care of my boy when I needed it the most you are amazing!

It is a fact that pet care costs money. Some of the negative reviews regarding conduct are…read moreconcerning to me and I believe those reviewers, and would feel as they do. But the reviews of people shocked and complaining about vet bills are bizarre to me because I expect to spend at least $1000 per year on each of my 8 pets, ON NON-EMERGENCY VET BILLS ALONE (before food, petsitting, emergencies, etc.). When you commit to parenting a pet, find out the true cost of care before you take on the responsibility of another life. How do I afford this? I prioritize the joy of having pets over fancy dinners out, or designer clothes/latest tech/car/material showiness, or grooming (hair, nails) I can do at home, or any other unnecessary indulgences that mean far less to me than my animals! So case in point, in the middle of our family vacation 800 miles from home, our dog had an emergency not once but twice! First time was 3:30am on Christmas morning and that's another review with another vet, but the second time was terrifying bloody stool the day before NYE, and nope, not messing around to see if it just goes away. Fun activity stopped and our furry family member was rushed 3 hours round trip to the closest ER Vet, Robinson. Robinson was able to take us immediately. Everyone's fear was a blockage (risky expensive surgery), but imaging showed nothing. 4 panels of bloods revealed no major insights, which is always frustrating when you're in 4 figures of bills, but Dr. Robinson hit us with Cerenia, fluids and multiple antibiotics to knock out suspected parasites from sea water. They urged an overnight but we needed to get home to Philly and hope for the best. Our anxious rescue dog would not have done well away from us anyway. They gave sub-Q fluids and sent him home. The antibiotics did their job, thank God, and each day our pup improved to 100% just 3 days later. The prices were standard for emergency vet hospitals where we live in Philadelphia. It's great if there are places in the Jax area that are cheaper but vacationing in Jekyll, Robinson is 30min closer than any other emergency vet and if your emergency is that urgent, 30min makes a difference. So I accept the decisions we made in the best interest for our pet with what was available for our situation. The only negative was I felt a bit patronized and spoken to as though I don't have the brains or experience I do having had so many pets. That kind of attitude doesn't build trust, especially in an urgent situation. Yes, as another reviewer mentioned, the EN at $9+/can could easily be cheaper, and I'd have appreciated that. But this is standard for emergency vets and I've experienced many as financial custodian of 16 pets in my adult life. It costs money to be open all night and weekends when no one else is, and to house equipment that allows you to perform hospital functions. Do they need the fancy logo folders, bags, etc.? No. I'd rather not pay that overhead, but it is what it is. When you walk into a restaurant you don't argue the menu. In the end, for $1400, I got what I needed, a dog with restored health, and for that I am grateful. Thank you, Dr. Robinson.

We were referred to this facility by Exotic Bird Hospital when our bird had a medical emergency in…read morethe middle of the night and they were closed. We made the hour drive to Fernandina because we were told this was the best option for emergency care. Our bird was screaming in distress and clearly appeared to be in significant pain. When we arrived, they took her immediately, placed her in her small carrier inside an oxygen tank, and left her there. She continued screaming. We waited two hours before speaking with anyone. We were told she was "doing better" and had stopped screaming. I asked to see her, and when we were brought to the back, we could immediately hear her still screaming. When I got to her cage, she still appeared to be in pain. In total, she was screaming for a minimum of four hours without meaningful intervention beyond being placed in oxygen. We were told they would perform bloodwork and X-rays the next day. The following day, we were told bloodwork had not been done because she became agitated, which is understandable--but there was no communication about trying again later. Later, we were told X-rays were done and that bloodwork had also been completed. After 2.5 days, we were told she was doing much better and ready to go home on medication. While driving an hour and a half from Jacksonville to pick her up, I received a call saying there was now a new treatment plan that would cost an additional $1,000-$1,500 (bringing the total to around $3,000), and that she would need to stay longer--despite just being told she was ready to go home. When I asked about the results of the bloodwork and X-rays, they still did not have answers. We chose to pick her up anyway. After getting home, I received only the X-ray images--there was no written report--and no bloodwork results were ever provided, despite being told it had been done. Overall, it felt like very little was actually done for her during the 2.5 days she was there beyond being placed in a cage and minimally handled. We still have no clear diagnosis or answers, and she is not acting like herself. The medication has left her very sedated, and now we will have to seek care elsewhere and incur additional costs. Looking back, I wish I had taken her somewhere else sooner. This was a stressful, expensive experience that did not provide the care, communication, or follow-through we expected.
