You purchased an 8-Week training package on 3/14/24 and did not attend your first lesson until 5/29/24 (76 days later). In the contract that you signed and requested a copy of, you acknowledged that all training services expire after 180 days, as our training packages typically take anywhere from 1-2 months to complete, depending on which package you purchase. During the first lesson, your dog Memphis attempted to bite up the leash at the trainer, and unfortunately bit his own tongue. This injury was not caused by anything that the trainer did. Your second lesson was not had until 6/14/24, 16 days after the previous lesson. During this lesson, your dog broke its nail. Your dogs nails were extremely unkept and long, and this is overall an extremely common injury for dogs with long nails. We have never hidden the fact that we utilize balanced training methods, which is the reason why you came to us in the first place. Memphis was extremely aggressive and was attacking the roommate in the bus you were living in, which is the reason you sought out our services. $2,500.00 was a large investment that you made and didn't prioritize. You had our contact information and did not once express any concern until yesterday, 104 days later. We wish you and Memphis the best and hopefully Memphis' aggression resolves.

More Photo 1 in review by Lauren Ayers Book online Elizabeth Nagine 2 reviews After having a consultation I was advised to do a 2500.00 training plan wich consisted of 8 hour long training sessions. My first session was extremely hard to sit through but even harder on my dog. My dog wich is a 5 yr old husky mix mouth was bleeding and spraying everywhere. The trainer informed me that it was a superficial injury and was nothing to worry about. My dog continued to struggle with the method until the hour was up and I brought him home. My dog didn't eat and struggled to drink water for 4 days afterwards. Brought him to the vet and he was checked out and sent home. I then waited a few weeks before going back but i really wanted to trust the process so i tried again, THIS time the session was basically the same method but this time my dog was even more terrified. He ended up getting his nail ripped off and again bleeding and I was again told that it was a common thing and not to be alarmed. My dog ended up limping for the next week with no improvement so again we went to.the vet where he showed to have an infection in his toe from the nail being removed. He ended up on 3 rounds of antibiotics which took two months to complete. This is when my vet advised me to seek out other training methods & that this was clearly not beneficial nor healthy. When I reached out to green mountain k9 to ask for a partial refund since I paid 2500.00 for two hours of inhumane training and a slew of vet bills they informed me that not only am I not getting any sort of refund but I have also forfeited my other 6 lessons (that they NOW say could have tried a different method with) with them due to the time on the agreement had lapsed. So, that's what my dog and I got from green mountain k9 for 2500.00. This isn't the last they'll see or hear of me. & I do not recommend a company that pushes you to have no choice besides to either risk the health of your dog or lose the extreme amount of money that you gave in trust. The ethics here is so wrong. I do not recommend this company.

I got my first shepherd from Select Shepherd in 2008. The most beautiful, gentle, good-tempered…read moreloyal dog I've ever had. While intimidating at 120 lbs when full grown, he captured the hearts of everyone who came to know him. My favorite story is when we were taking a walk in Washington DC along the Mall, when a little girl walked up behind him, and her mother asked if it was okay if she pet him. We had no hesitation about allowing it, as he was so gentle and had been raised in a household with my 4 kids. She pulled a tuft of shedding hair from his backside, looked at it in surprise, and then tried to put it back on him. He was healthy most of his life, with no real problems. But he had to be put down in 2019 due to cancer. I'm going back to this business now for my second shepherd, even though I now live multiple hundreds of miles away. That is how much I trust these people and their animals.

My wife and I dropped our dogs off for a weekend of boarding and grooming. We left instructions for…read morethe groomer to groom our boy and do a practice grooming of our girl. We were also told that the grooming would be recorded so that we could watch the session if anything weird happens. When we picked up our dogs, it became clear that the boy's grooming was incomplete. He had little knots on his head and a large knot on his tail, as well as a new bald spot on his chest. When we spoke to the groomer about it, she said that he was difficult and wouldn't sit still so that she couldn't complete it, and she said that the bald spot was a cowlick. This didn't *seem* right, because he gets groomed 4 times a year and in the previous place they never had any issues with him at all, and we pet his chest all the time and would've noticed a bald cowlick spot before. She was also not told that the girl was supposed to get a pretend grooming session at all, so that never happened. Since the boy has never been an issue before, we wanted to see the video that we were told we could see if we requested it (we wanted to know what might've set him off), but then we were told that we couldn't because the video system has been down for weeks. The manager I spoke with didn't care and just told me that the groomers rent out the rooms so they aren't responsible for what they do. We contacted the owner but she hasn't responded and instead blocked us on the company Facebook page. Best case, this place has terrible communication amongst the staff and the groomer, poor customer service, and a broken video system. I wouldn't trust my dogs there.

We had not used her before but we had Been in her store. We brought our golden in for her appointment with some reservations and anxiety. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted by friendly staff members. After speaking with an employee for a brief period Megan, the owner, greeted us. She went over everything with me and was quite attentive to our golden who truly believes it is all about her. I felt more comfortable leaving her after the interaction I had with Megan and employees. When I received a text that she was done I went into the shop to see our dog looking totally beautiful. She was behind the counter with Megan with a toy in her mouth, imagine that. Megan went over everything and I was pleasantly surprised as the price was less than expected. I believe we have a new groomer. Thank you Megan and everyone else. It is obvious you love what you do. My advice if you are interested is to check them out, you will definitely be pleased. They also have several mobile grooming vans. Rating is 5stars only because there are not more.
