She has yet to grab a remote, we are still careful with them especially when we aren't in the room. The transformation it incredible! Carrie, Samantha and the whole Doghouse gang are highly recommended! Thank you for laying a good foundation for us to follow! We are happy and proud to be part of the Doghouse family! Update: Poppy has been home a while and she and we continue to learn and grow. People who meet her are amazed she is so young yet so well behaved! We can not thank all the gang at the Doghouse enough, especially Sam! She has been patient with us and continues to help as needed.

I watch a woman walk up to register one and that cashier check her out. So I go back to register one. Because the three people in front of me have a lot of items and I only have a couple. When I get to register one, she tells me again this register is closed and I'll have to go to another register. I just set my basket down and walked out. Worst customer service ever. And the woman she checked out in front of me? She was in line behind me the entire time. So she got to skip and I kept being pushed to the back of the line. I will never come back to this location. This literally just happened 15 minutes ago.

At that point, we decided to enroll with Sit & Stay Academy. From what we saw the facility is clean and well-kept. The dogs are in large cages and we did not see "overcrowding" that the others are reporting. From what we saw, the staff are very attentive to the dogs there. Clark is great and definitely know their stuff! Sanchez was there for about 8-9 months with weekly visits/training classes for ourselves. We have had Sanchez home for about 2 months now. He is like a new dog. He does not have any desire to hump the other dogs. He really doesn't want anything to do with them in terms of messing with them. They can all lay beside each other and nothing bad happens. Yes, the training can look a bit rough, but that's because we haven't done training on any of our dogs and it was new to us. The program was definitely worth the money. Sanchez is super obedient now and life is great. Thank you Sit & Stay Academy!!

On March 16th, 2024 we sent our 8 month old dog, Luca to be trained by Cheyenne Two-Axe at her…read morefacility, Canine Behavioral Training in South Elgin. We gave her $3,860 for a 28 day program. From the beginning she knew we were going to be in Florida visiting family for 7 days during the time he was in Cheyenne's care. We gave her a collar with an airtag (she even commented on how it was a good idea). She assured us everything would be fine. We received videos of training every couple of days. On Monday, March 16th 2024 I received a phone call from Cheyenne who was frantic and said that she had lost our dog Luca. She said she went to go get water and left him outside in her fenced yard for no more than five minutes. He was not wearing the collar with the airtag we provided. I asked why and she stated because he was in a crate and they don't have them wear collars in the crate due to safety concerns. I understand and agree with the safety aspect, but every dog expert I talked to said he should have had his collar on the moment he was out of the crate. After looking at the training videos she sent me again Luca was not wearing his collar in any of them. At this point, she said she was unsure of how he got out but would inform me of what was going on. She later stated that one of the latches of the gate was flipped up and that's how she thinks he got out. I asked if she had cameras and she stated she did not. She posted on local Facebook groups and so did I. I was still in Florida at this time and reached out to Illinois Lost Dogs who assisted me in putting together a flyer which I sent to Cheyenne. I also had some family out looking for him and sending flyers. Throughout this search it was very clear that Cheyenne was not sure of what to do. I was communicating with ILD and they were providing guidance which I then communicated to Cheyenne. I was basically running dispatch from Florida. I did not sleep for the next 8 days. I would message Cheyenne every morning and normally it took about an hour to get back which she stated she had to take care of other dogs at her facility and then would flyer and do what was needed. She did send several texts that she couldn't express how sorry she was and she would find Luca and "do right by us". I never wrote anything negative about her or her facility until now. I had my brother looking in the area (which he missed time from work in order to do so), I had a family friend volunteer her time with a scent tracking dog, and was constantly on socail media tracking sighting. We had a few sightings here and there. Cheyenne did find a drone operator whom she paid the first time. On Wednesday Cheyenne texted me that she was still willing to help, but that she had spent over 1k to search for him and couldn't financially do anymore. My family and I had spent over 2k at this point ourselves (plus the cost of the training), but I said I understood. Through talking with different organizations they said that it did not seem that Cheyenne was equipped to handle the situation and that I needed to take over the search. We cut our vacation short (not that we were able to enjoy it anyways) and spent $1,500 to get a last minute flight to go home. Once we arrived home Cheyenne let me know that she would help as she could, but would be deferring to me to lead the search. We came home early Thursday morning and were basically out all day every day until he was found Monday. When we arrived at the facility on Thursday, Cheyenne was out getting lunch and left Luca's stuff on a table outside of the door of the facility. Upon inspection, we found there was a hole at the back of the fence (picture below). I will be honest, I did not disclose this to her until later because I did not want it to affect us finding Luca. I bought flyers, 4 drone flights, multiple cameras, and supplies. Cheyenne did say she would help as she could, but something happened with the tire on her car.There were days during our search where I did not hear from her until I messaged her. Thankfully we were able to find Luca. Including the training, flight home, and various expenses we were out over 10k. When we first discussed repayment, she disclosed that her insurance lapsed because she didn't get a notice from her insurance company, in my opinion that's the responsibility of the business owner. She was able to somehow get it reinstated, but had no clue regarding her coverage or how it worked. She also was shocked when I said there was a hole in the fence. She still feels that he got out by lifting the latch but agreed that it was not suitable for a training facility and was in the process of replacing it. We ended up receiving a little over $4,800 for our expenses but was told her business was likely closing as a result. She has refused to do anymore. EDIT: Cheyenne is blatantly lying that we asked for 10k in pain and suffering so I have included an email where I actually said I was willing to take less than our expenses.

Please note, if called I would have approved if I understood the need, but while there could be areas to remove it was not anything of known nature or huge impact. Outcome: Poor Communication, Lack of corrective action when concerns presented and up charges for items not discussed.
