Colette is exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She was even willing to work with my young son so he could participate in the training process.

I can't recommend Perfect Pooch Performance and Marie enough. Callahan has been going to her…read moredaycare for a few months now, and from the very beginning he was always so excited to go to her house, which told me everything I needed to know. Marie has an amazing setup, including a massive backyard that honestly feels like a private dog park. There's so much room for the dogs to run, play, and burn off energy in a safe, well supervised environment. After just one or two visits, I noticed a huge improvement in Callahan's behavior. He stopped jumping on people, which was something we had been working on. she also gives updates through her Instagram story so you can check on your pup throughout the day! One of my favorite things. Marie is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and clearly understands dog behavior. She's also very affordable and offers training services as well, which I'm really interested in doing at some point. It's such a relief knowing my dog is happy, well cared for, and learning good habits at the same time. Highly recommend.

Dominic's training program helped us turn our dog around from a disaster to one we constantly get…read morecompliments on. My dog had serious reactivity issues and could not get within even several blocks of another dog. After over a year trying to correct with a couple of other trainers and it only getting worse we called Citizen Canine. Nowadays, we can walk past dogs lunging and barking at her, even off leash. It takes dedication to your homework, but if my dog can do it, so can yours. Definitely worth setting up sessions with Dominic.

I have an 8 yr old English Bulldog who weighs about 70lbs. He always jumps up on people when he…read moresays hi. I did not think it was an issue until he was knocking over a friends child and then he knocked over another friends elderly mother. I thought that this could injure someone so a few months ago I started asking my friends if they knew a dog trainer. I was recommended to contact Dominic at Citizen Canine. I was told that he trains dogs who have problems and solves the issue kinda like the dog whisperer. So we talked on the phone and he said that he can stop my dog from jumping on people. We met at a local park and started the lesson. Little did I know that besides training my dog he was teaching me how to correct the bad behavior. I saw right from the start that his method was working so I signed up for more lessons. It has been about three months now and my dog has not jumped on anyone and the lessons have made him behave extremely well around other dogs too. He walks right next to me when we are walking and I don't need a leash. I will say you have to be dedicated to the lessons with Dominic and work on it on your own so that your dog responds to the commands. Dominic doesn't just train the dog he trains you. I think it was worth it and I highly recommend Citizen Canine.

This review is a long time coming. Steve and Silke are wonderful. Steve is amazing with dogs (a…read moretrue pro) and Silke has excellent communication. They boarded our greyhound last year during a vacation and went out of their way to ensure our gal was comfortable. It was so much appreciated and confirmed that we made the right choice for boarding.

Our greyhound was returned to us in wonderful shape, happy and with no injuries or fleas, etc.

HEADS UP!! I was turned away because of "breed restrictions". I was told it was because of…read moreinsurance policies but plenty of other daycares are open to all breeds and rely on behavior assessments to make sure the dog is the right fit. I had filled out their "Contact" form, indicated that my dog is a "doberman mix", and they immediately declined me. I had heard such great things about Meadows so this is incredibly disappointing. Nothing on their website says anything about breed restrictions and the woman on the phone indicated that there are multiple breeds they do not accept (she did not elaborate on which)! I obviously never would have inquired about services if I knew.

There is so much more to training our dog than could be done in 3 weeks with Olga. We cannot assume…read moreour pooch will come home and be perfect on every command after only 3 weeks. She gave Murray some wonderful and necessary basics. However, training Murray's humans is even MORE important. We are the ones who must reinforce his training with diligent, consistent, and unemotional corrections and orders. It is only with our constant reminders that he WILL become more consistent himself. It takes at least 3 month for a human to break an old habit and ingrain a new one. We are using the benchmark of "a few" months before we can let up on the formality of daily, non-stop training. IT'S HARD FOR ME to remember the commands so I keep the crib sheet with me at all times. He is a stubborn boy and without Olga's help, our training was only successful 1 or 2 commands. After his boot camp, he is much calmer, more affectionate and there is less yelling (from me). We are so grateful to Olga and the methods she uses. Murray LOVES her...and so do we! Now the real work begins!

Olga is an absolute wonder. We brought our lab-mix rescue to her. Not certain of his age, but the…read morevet estimated he was about 9 months old when we brought him to her. A super sweet, loving animal, who borders on submissive in most situations. Yet there were many things that seemed to set him off - mainly our 2nd dog who's a bit hyper and skittish, which seemingly caused him to view her as the weak one of the pack who he needed to dominate. He would get very aggressive with her and occasionally with us when pushed to do something he didn't want to do. Enter Olga. She recognized that part of his problem was a lack of socialization and exposure to various situations. He needed more structure and clarity of who was boss. She worked wonders with him. She also spent several hours with us, reviewing what we needed to do to maintain the momentum and continue to have him progress. We simply can't thank Olga enough. We would enthusiastically refer her to anyone needing to improve their dog's behavior and self control. She is wonderful!

My dog Bowie went to Muttasori regularly for years and Charlie was SO helpful working with my irregular work schedule. I LOVED taking my dog to "daycare" as he would visibly get excited every time we got near Unleashed. Tears were shed on both sides when we left. Can't recommend this place enough if you need help with training and behavior.

Ask any other trainer and they will tell you your dog needs routines to build on and Dogs have Energy already they need walks to expend that Energy not the other way around. If you're an experienced dog owner, you know the thing she tells you does not make sense. For new dog owners that will really mess you up. I've asked other dog trainers about the things she says, and they are baffled.

So far, we have had a consultation and a training session and we look forward to more sessions and taking the group classes when they start up soon. Brian is kind hearted, cares deeply about dogs, and has been great to work with. During the consultation, he helped set up life sized stuffed dogs to see how our dog would interact with other dogs in a safe way and helped us to pick up on cues from our dog to better understand and support our dog as she adjusts to a new home and environment. Brian provided emails with materials and homework assignments. We sought a trainer that could help with focus, pulling less on the leash, and jumping up as well as help with socialization. He has been amazing and we are grateful for all of his support. We look forward to the group classes and highly recommend Brian for anyone looking for support with training their dog. He even helps train service dogs, which I think is so awesome!
