This is really important for me as depending on app-based dog walking services can be pretty unreliable. I'd emailed Pet Sitters Club at short notice to establish walks for my puppy Leo, and James came early to our apartment on a Saturday morning to set everything up. He saw some behavior to be corrected with Leo and he went right into training mode which was great for me as a first time puppy mother to learn. He also gave me other tips that I've incorporated into Leo's training. Leo's walked by Gabby daily and we're really happy with her! The entire business is run very professionally and they're very accommodating with changes and additions. I also appreciate their very prompt replies, even late-night weekends!

This vet was lovely. We realized that our cat, Bacon, kept having issues with her mouth. She was…read moreold, but I didn't want to believe it was cancer. I was heartbroken, but the staff at Little Neck Veterinary Care couldn't be more kind, compassionate, and understanding. We decided to bring her home, and let her live her life as comfortably as possible. About a week later we realized that Bacon's health was declining, and that it was time to say goodbye. This was extremely hard for me since I had Bacon before my daughter and my husband. The staff were so kind, and made the process as gentle on us as possible. They created a memorial keepsake with her paw print in sand. They also included patches of her fur, and they made sure to include all of her colors. Not only that, they sent a beautiful, handwritten sympathy card. I know it's old fashioned, but it also shows that they care. That action took time, and they didn't have to do that, but they did. I will take my other cats there, any future pets, and I'll recommend other pet parents to this vet.

I had a dog that would guard objects, snap at you if you tried to get anything away from him Would not let you pet him or even go near his dog bed. Larry taught me how to show the dog that i was in charge not him, and after lots and lots of practicing, i now have a wonderful, loving dog. The dog is comfortable now knowing his boundaries and I am thrilled to have a dog that is so obedient and lovely. I have recommended Larry Berg to many people one of them my veterinarian - who also loved him and has recommended him to his clients.

Larry has the voice and exudes the confidence of a commercial airline captain. He assessed my animals behavior and laid out a precise lesson plan. By the end of the first lesson order was restored in my home. By the end of the 5th session I wanted to show all that would watch how obedient my dog was. Since my lessons ended I have called Larry to help me with questions and procedural help. In my opinion Larry Berg professional Dog Trainer is the quintessential expert.

For the first two days after we brought him home from the shelter he would not come out of the bedroom, even for supper. Lindsey was recommended to us from Unleashed (another great place), and she worked with us and with Helios over a period of months, and he is like a new dog. He is friendly, incredible well behaved, and always so thrilled to see Lindsey that, frankly, I'm a little jealous. Lindsey and her dog walkers take wonderful care of Helios when we have to be away. They are skilled, friendly, reliable and very competent.

In my training philosophy, I strive to help you make a connection with your dog and create a loving and life-long companion. My dog training approach uses Balanced Reward-Based Training so that your dog learns the YES's and NO's of acceptable behavior. This creates an environment for your dog to easily pick up on what you want of him without the stress and frustration that can come with communicating with a dog. I also like to incorporate Games which I find useful to get a dog to focus and bond to its owner in a fun and responsive manner.

I tell our trainers Katie and Nicole all of the time that they are life savers. We brought our puppy here at 1 years old - a small wild, energetic Jack Russell who knew every time I was on a video meeting to bark his head off and embarrass me EVERY TIME! Walks were out of the question since he would pull on the leash to the point he would choke himself... sitting on the deck was a nightmare in our own backyard because he would bark at the wind (yes, the wind), the leaves moving, the birds and obviously the neighbors. Does this sound familiar? I questioned my decision of getting a puppy and then I found Max K9. We did a 3 week Board & Train where I was super hesitant of dropping him off (because no one wants to leave their baby anywhere), but they were so good with sending video progress and pictures and including my husband and I in the process. I joke with everyone that I think they implanted a program into his brain! Lol! The transformation was unreal. We were instantly able to communicate with him and actually go on a walk.. outside in the real world. What a breath of fresh air, literally! Max K9 has given us the ability to live an active lifestyle and have our pup enjoy it with us. Hikes, traveling, morning walks, trips to the store, brewery visits, long car rides out of state... you name it. I would do it all over again if I had to without a question. So if you've made it this far, thanks for reading. I hope this helps you make your decision to having a better relationship with your pup and enjoying life with them every step of the way.

I am SO thankful for Sherry at Maximum K9. I don't know if I can put into words how helpful she has…read morebeen in training our Stormie. Stormie is a rescue who we adopted in 2019 and underwent 2 surgeries in 2021 due to bilateral CCL surgery. She was cooped up for an extended amount of time during recovery. We were unable to take her outside without her reacting to other dogs and sometimes even people. Stormie even gave us difficulty when we wanted to go for a short walk. It was so frustrating and difficult taking her out in public that we needed help. We have heard of Maximum K9 from many of our friends and even the great reviews I've seen on dog groups and online. I called to inquire about the types of training (group vs. individual) and it was clear that we needed to take private lessons. We signed up for a package of 6 lessons with Sherry that were one hour long for 6 consecutive weeks. Our first day, Sherry got to know about Stormie's behaviors - positive and negative, what we were having difficulty with and what our goals were. Sherry worked with us each week when training Stormie (and me) on how to modify or progress a skill. We learned how to heel, which we never were taught from another trainer elsewhere, and the importance of heel. We were given homework on what to practice from the training sessions to continue our work outside of the facility. Sherry helped Stormie become less dog reactive in a safe manner at Maximum K9. Stormie was slowly exposed to the board and train dogs in the facility that had various levels of size and temperament. Each week, Stormie learned how to follow her commands and not react to different dogs. With Sherry's consistent training, Stormie was able to heel with me in a circle with other dogs and sit next to them without any reaction at all. I cannot find the words to thank Sherry for helping Stormie and myself. I came into Maximum K9 with Stormie trying to pull my arm off and reacting to dogs in the lobby to now leaving with my arm back intact and her in a nice heel. I will refer all my dog lovers and friends to Maximum K9 and Sherry going forward! Thank you again!
