A Life-Changing Experience with McWreath Dog Training!…read more I can't say enough good things about Chelsea, the founder and owner of McWreath Dog Training! When Loki and I first came to Chelsea, we were both an anxious mess--me, not knowing how to help my pup, and Loki, struggling with walks, car rides, and the everyday stresses of life. Fast forward to now, and the transformation is nothing short of incredible: ‍ Loki walks more calmly by my side. He's confident enough to enjoy the local dog park and make new friends! Long car trips? No problem! Everyday errands around town? A breeze. Chelsea didn't just train Loki; she trained us as a team. Her patience, expertise, and genuine care for both dogs and their owners made all the difference. Loki is happier, more relaxed, and thriving in ways I never thought possible. Loki even used their Boarding facilities when we took a trip to Europe for 10 days. He had tons of fun meeting and playing with all the other pups there, in a structured setting and fully supervised. (with videos and photos too) If you're feeling overwhelmed with your dog's behavior, I wholeheartedly recommend McWreath Dog Training. Chelsea has truly given us the tools and confidence to enjoy life together to the fullest! Thank you, Chelsea, for changing our lives! Loki and I are forever grateful.

I needed to locate a trainer near Washington, PA to help my Mother and her new puppy. Even though…read moreI live outside the area, I received Warrick K-9 from a referral of a local friend. This was the best experience and SO much more than I had hoped for. The trainer was able to break bad habits, correct misbehavior, and teach a 4-month old pup to comply with SIT, STAY, DOWN, go to PLACE and more. Because of my Mom's physical limitations, the dog is comfortable taking commands from a person in a standing or seated position AND she understands how to walk safely to avoid trips and falls with a cane or walker. We used the Board and Train option and it was just great. Truly, this was a bargain when compared to many of the other local trainer rates and services. It allowed the best outcome for cementing the desired behaviors into our little girl. She is so pleased with herself each time she does something correctly, it is a joy to watch. And my Mother enjoys the new relationship that she now has with her dog, which is motivating her to continue the routine. This is about so much more than "obedience", it has provided my Mom with an opportunity to relax and enjoy time together with her dog and to have more understanding of how to make time for what they both need and want. My Mom and her dog now have a chance to become wonderful companions to each other. I don't believe this would have been possible without the work of Warrick K-9 and Rachel.

Then I found a scab with matted hair on his neck around his jugular vein! She said it must be an old scab...ah NO! Now it's a trip to the vet. All I got from Lyn was the e-collar has to be tight and basically if I dont follow through with that, it's on me. After the massive hair knot (rough collie long hair), Im not putting him thru that.

I adopted my pup six years ago. He came with multiple behavioral issues which included snapping at…read moremen when they walked by us, explosive barking at dogs if they looked at him wrong, resource guarding, and jealous behavior. While we were able to get most of these issues resolved through the years, we were never able to figure out why he still occasionally snapped at strangers when they came to pet him and he struggled with low confidence. I opted for the stay and train because my partner and I were going on vacation and figured we'd have to board him anyways, why not see if we could help some his behavior too? They wanted him initially for 5 weeks but said they may keep him longer if it takes more time for them to help him through his issues. I liked that they were committed to resolving his problems and took a flat rate rather than just wanting me to pay week by week in hope that they eventually fix the issues. My dog warms up very slowly to new people so I was nervous about how this would go, but the trainers sent me pictures/videos almost everyday. I believe his main trainer was Grace, but he also got a lot of time with the rest of the team. They took him to practice around their barn animals and even to a local town center where he could be around strangers in a real environment. It's been almost a week since I picked him up and learned all of his new skills. Since then, I've been spending time everyday making sure I reinforce the training. I put him in a down (implied stay) while I make breakfast. I'll randomly tell him to put his paws on weird structures while on walks. I take him to pet friendly stores around our area and practice heel up and down the aisles. At first, he tested how serious I was about making him do tasks. Once he figured out I meant business just like the folks at paw and order, he stopped testing me and behaved exactly like I'd seen in the videos. I know some people will look at the tactics they use and think it's unfair, but we need to change the way we look at this. In the world of dogs, discipline is freedom. When these trainers teach your dog the rules of our society, they're giving them a ticket to exist without stress or fear. I know that I'll be able to take my dog to the brewery more often, or to the garden store down the street. It'll enrich his life without stressing either of us out. If you're looking for a magical trainer that will fix all of your dogs problems for you forever and ever, this isn't it. The folks at paw and order will send your pup down the right path and it's up to YOU as the owner to build on this incredible foundation. The videos they send throughout the stay aren't just cute updates, they're guidelines for you to follow when you get your pup back. Paw and Order is for pet parents who are serious about getting behavioral help for their pup and who want to continue to put in the work to help their pup succeed.

Was told by awful employee my dog should be EUTHANIZED because she had her chance to be a somewhat…read morenormal dog and failed: I'm hoping every person thinking of doing business with this place or seeking help for their animal thinks twice and not waste their time. I had a horrific experience with a woman named Nancy when seeking help for my dog. My dog is a senior and has a host of medical issues including canine cognitive dysfunction (doggie dementia), difficulty eating and drinking (due to her dementia), and anxiety and depression, just to name a few of the things she struggles with. Our vet thinks she may have a brain tumor that is making her symptoms worse and she needs an MRI to confirm that but unfortunately I can't afford it. Putting my dog to sleep has come up in conversation but she's only 7 and there are medications for canine dementia and tests (like an MRI) that could possibly help her get better that we haven't tried yet because of my poor financial situation. I don't believe I should stop fighting for my dog or euthanize her just because I have run out of funds and dont have the means to be her primary caretaker anymore. I've been looking for places that specialize in senior dog care, care for animals with disabilities, and care for animals in a vulnerable time in their life. All of this was shared in my inquiry about possibly getting help, along with that my dog means everything to me. I assume most people reading this are animal lovers and have or had a pet that is precious to them and want the best for. No one should be attacked for wanting the best for their animal and people should know thats what happens at AR. On Angel Ridge's About page it says their mission is "To provide a permanent home and care for animals that are abandoned, aged, or handicapped with the ultimate goal of re-homing them. Animals who are not re-homed may live out their lives at Angel Ridge." It goes on to say animals should be recognized as "essential and beloved companions" and further states animals are "assessed by dedicated volunteers and staff for veterinary and behavioral needs." I wrongfully thought this place could be an option to help my dog as she's a senior, special needs and would benefit from medical help. I thought this because they specifically stated they specialized in caring for those types of animals AND provided medical care for them. I was told by Nancy that my dog "has been given many opportunities to become a somewhat normal dog" ...as if its my dogs fault for being sick! This was an insane unhinged judgment to make. With 0 compassion she said my dog cannot be fixed and that she is not at peace. I would've loved to know Angel Ridge's philosophy was actually that "some dogs can't be fixed" and to blame the animal for not being "somewhat normal". I wouldn't have even bothered in the first place. I was then viscously told "You knew what needs to happen-Just looking for someone else to blame-You needed the response that I gave". No remorse, no acknowledgment of how disgusting and nasty she had been to me, just stood behind her disturbing behavior and treatment of me (a person who reached out seeking help for her dog based on misleading lies written on the website). Not sure who I'm trying to blame either. I'm looking for help and a higher level of care for my sweet dog and made that crystal clear. This person is sick and unstable and shouldn't work at a place that cares for elderly, sick, abused, and overall vulnerable animals if the first thought that crosses her mind when someone reaches out for help is that it's the animals fault for being sick, elderly, abused, etc. and they've 'had their chance to prove to be normal' implying they should be euthanized if they can't do that. Egregious. she could've simply said they couldn't take my dog instead of harassing me for searching for help. I fear for people and animals that cross paths with this woman and hope this can be used as a warning for others to STAY AWAY and not make the mistake I did by reaching out in the first place. For a place that claims all animals should be recognized as essential and beloved, I'll tell you one thing, having bitter employees/volunteers like this woman, is not getting that message across.

I have been involved in cat and dog rescue for over 30 years with several different Washington…read moreCounty organizations. Each has pros and cons. I have found Angel Ridge to be sincere in their efforts to save, rescue, and provide posititive futures for some of the most abused, unwanted, injured and mistreated animals. At times when I didnt see a positive outcome, the volunteers stay committed to showing love and compassion to the rescues~ most often resulting in a huge break thru, and eventually placement in a loving home~ a home ready and willing to continue the work of helping their new fur baby learn to love and trust humans. It's humans that have let the animals down, and it's Angel Ridge volunteers that repair that damage. I am proud to be a vounteer for Angel Ridge Animal Rescue and plan to continue here. Please check it out for yourself, you will see the compassion and commitment also.
