I was hesitant at first because of all the "professionals" out there, but it was totally worth it. Eric and Sam were so patient with me and took their time teaching me everything I needed to know so that my dog would continue to be successful. Secondly, I am a terrible procrastinator and things completely slip my mind. Multiple times they have worked with me last minute to get my pups in for boarding. Most importantly, my dogs love it there! I will forever recommend Katz. Even to my friends that live in Philadelphia!

We have now boarded our little pooch three times over the summer, and have had nothing but a positive experience each time. The kennels reside on the owners property, of which he has something like 40+ acres. Not sure how many kennels there were per se, but he has a number of them. Each dog gets their own indoor/outdoor kennel and there are large fans blowing inside to help keep the dogs cooler during hot days. You are welcome to bring a blanket or favorite toy from home if you'd like. They provide food, but again, you can bring your own if you prefer. For additional fees, you can elect your dog to go on a nature walk and/or have playtime with other dogs. He also offers grooming at a reasonable rate as well. Very happy that my parents found this place and told me about it. This is my goto place for boarding now. The owner is clearly an animal lover and has three German Shepherds of his own. Prices are fair. Give this place a try if you are in need of finding a boarding facility for your dog.

I had a terrible experience with Opportunity Barks. The City School program keeps the dogs crated…read morefor 6 of the 7 hours they are there. The 1 hour of training includes potty breaks. When I picked up my 8 month old puppy she was so desperate to pee and poo, she went on the sidewalk in front of their building. She was so thirsty she was panting and needed water immediately. I sent food but she did not eat there. To compound the problem, Communication is awful. They don't let you into the space. You stand on the sidewalk - they crack open the door and pull her in or give you the leash to take her out. You get 1 email a week with some photos and videos. They don't appear to read the form you fill out and don't discuss goals. I told them that my puppy has had training since birth, but their first video was showing me how to hold a leash. The second video was of a different dog being trained - they said my dog was tethered watching. Throughout the entire video I could hear her crying. No one attempted to soothe her at all. I provided constructive input verbally and in writing by email. Despite my bad experience at the City School, I was still interested in the Farm School. I went to the open house and they were much more transparent about what a typical day looks like there. But before the evaluation day (which is separate from the City School evaluation), they called me to say that they were cancelling the evaluation because I am not a good fit for their program. They said it had nothing to do with my dog, who is a very sweet Labrador, it is because I am not "aligned" with them. They were not willing to even listen to why I thought the Farm School would be a better fit than the City School, saying that the decision had been made "by senior management" and it is not worth wasting time talking about it. Wow!

So far I've had one session with Steve from curiosity satisfied dog camp. I've noticed a huge…read moredifference in my dog in just a few short days. Steve is fantastic... I have sent him several emails and text messages pretty much every day as new issues arise and he promptly responds with detailed instructions advising me as to the best way to handle the situation. Also, he spent a bit more than the promised three hours with Bella and I, and I never once felt rushed or that he was hoping to leave exactly at that three hour mark. He seems to be somebody with a genuine love for dogs in addition to a passion for helping those that want to give their dogs the best life possible. I have two more sessions coming up with him and look forward very much to working with him again. I believe I will be able to help Bella more now than I had previously and that means the world to me. Thanks Steve :)

Our experience was a complete waste of $1800. After speaking with Ross, who stated that he has 35…read moreyears experience in dog training and much experience with German Shepherds, we signed up for the 5-week drop off for the day training. We told him what the behaviors of concern were (leash reactivity, aggression toward other dogs and sometimes people, stubbornness) he assured us that he could address these issues. So, obviously we assume that Ross is going to train our dog. So I drop him off and return at the end of day 1 and who's his trainer? A very young and very inexperienced girl who askes me: "so what do you want me to work on? Today we worked on come, sit, and stay." What??? Did Ross not speak to you and tell you what our behaviors of concern are? Obviously not. And, our dog already knows come, sit, and stay. The review at the end of the day is supposed to be 1 hour but it's lucky if it's 20 minutes and it's obvious the girl wants to leave. Since we've already paid, I continue to take our dog for lessons 2, 3, and 4 and it's merely more of the same: come, sit, stay, place, etc. with very short reviews at the end of the day. After lesson 4 the trainer says, well next week is your last lesson and it's 1 hour of review. 1 hour? The website clearly says 5 DAYS of lessons. Feeling very frustrated we skip it. That was weeks ago, think anyone has called us? Nope. Around lesson 3 though, the trainer did recommend the 1 or 2 week all day boarding/training program at another $2000-3000. Oh yeah, lets waste even more money. I would clearly NOT recommend this facility as they misrepresent who will train your dog and what they're capabilities are. It took us a long time to raise enough money for this training so it's really a shame nothing was accomplished from it and our dog's behavior has not changed.
