Mars is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, kind, and genuine in every interaction. Her love for what she does truly shines through in the way she works with both Aaron and myself. Mars took the time to understand Aaron's unique personality and caters to what he needs the most, making training such a positive experience for the both of us. We have learned so much from her, and the progress I've seen with Aaron has been amazing! Aaron and I appreciate her dearly and are so grateful for her dedication, compassion, and expertise. I would recommend Mars and the amazing staff at Kabler School for Dogs without hesitation! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Mars!

Our dog has recently graduated from the Kabler School for Dogs on-lead obedience course and we…read morecan't thank David enough!! Pepperoni fell into our laps after a friend started fostering her to get her out of a kill shelter in South Carolina. We were in love with our snuggly girl from the start, but she was also timid, skittish, poorly behaved on the leash, and terrified of strangers (especially men). We tried to take her to a doggie daycare for socialization, but she was so terrified, she escaped within a half hour and was not allowed back. Over the course of six months, David helped us build Pepper's confidence and bring her out of her shell. She now sits with us at dog-friendly restaurants, greets every guest at the door, and just spent her first day at doggie daycare (no escaping! No hiding!) We cannot thank David enough for all he has done and his patience in going the extra mile for a more difficult case. We're so grateful to have a happy, healthy dog!

Mindy is a one of a kind animal trainer…read more As a dog trainer, she is kind and patient. She doesn't rush the process, so that you can build a foundation to have a very well behaved pet. She helped me work on my dogs food aggression issues at meal time and his recall off leash. Her own dogs have done everything from hunting to agility to winning obedience classes. As a horse trainer, she has achieved incredible feat. In the 90s she bought a cheap off the track thoroughbred to olympic level, training him from scratch to compete (and win) against some of the best riders in the world with a stable full of million dollar horses. Give her a call, you will not regret it!

I had two small dogs & suddenly had a third added that a family member couldn't keep anymore. With…read morethe introduction of the third dog who had not been trained, my pet household was turned upside down. Lots of unwelcome behavior started occurring which inhibited our ability to simply take walks together. By the grace of God, I found Karen online and I couldn't be happier. She uses only positive reinforcement for the dogs (and the owner as well). She is more than willing to help & answer questions, meet out at a local park for practice and more. I tend to be an anxious person, but Karen's calm demeanor helped me immensely. She has a great personality and often made me laugh through my worries. My dog's behavior has improved tremendously, which has helped to bring peace & calm into our lives & increased our happiness. I can't express how grateful I am for Aunt Karen!

She looked very happy when I went to pick her up and so cute in her little bandana. Smelled great and they did a good job of getting rid of loose undercoat from all the warm weather we've had lately.

I could not do that to this beautiful animal. We had been turned away from another facility when the Pet Lodge in Lyman recommended USDT&B. I called, they said "bring her on in". They welcomed her with open arms. Such a Godsend. We have only just begun her stay at this beautiful facility, and have already begun getting her report cards. I am so grateful and feel quite confident that we will be able to keep her in our home upon her "graduation "! Thank you, USDT&B! PS- I had taken her to the vet and she had received all shots before arriving at USDT&B.

The groomer couldn't finish my dog and then charge me $55/said it was for a bath. She is a lair…read more.. WTH? $55 to bathe a 8 pound dog. Do not go to this place. I have been a loyal client since when they small. And when the aunt was still alive. Since her passing apparently it's gone to crap. If you are worried about a 16yo dog maybe being too much you should reconsider being a groomer and at least make sure to put a muzzle on every dog. I am very disappointed in the grooming service here. My poor baby is traumatized from the experience. They did me so wrong it's not even funny. The groomer was obviously aggressive with dog and not patience at all is why she couldn't finish. I've heard horror stories about this place but always defended them. Nope not anymore, Very poor service!!! THE END....period

She provided flexibility around our travel plans and work schedules. During each session, Ruth provided personalized insight and advice on training as well as knowledge of the breed.

First of all: Courtney is an incredible person. Secondly, her empathy, intuition, and knowledge…read morehave been life-changing for our special needs blue heeler, Clementine. Clem is half blind & deaf, though this isn't the reason we initially contacted Courtney. At the time, we had adopted a beautiful boxer-pit mix, Juniper, to have as Clementine's companion. We adopted her from the Washington County animal shelter, and she was in bad condition, having 6-10 months of trauma in the first part of her life (we think she was bait in dog fights). She had to have emergency surgery, and after a few months, we decided we needed some professional help due to Juniper's reactivity with Clementine. With Courtney's guidance, we learned that our 2 dogs do not speak the same language. Courtney was initially willing to help us and our dogs learn and respect one another's languages. Over time, though, Juniper ended up attacking Clementine, and Courtney was with us every step of the way. She truly cares about the people and animals she works with. She immediately came up with a plan so we could figure out re-homing Juniper while keeping the two dogs separated in our home. She even searched for foster homes with us, and worked with the foster parent Juniper lived with for about a month until we found her forever home. Courtney is the best dog trainer I have ever met. Her compassion goes above and beyond, and her expertise is so valuable. I learn something new at every session! When I refer to her in conversation, I call her our "Dog Therapist", because she truly is. She can sense things about our dog that we don't even sense, in the smallest amount of time. If you're on the fence about hiring or consulting with Courtney, jump off and call her immediately! ‍‍
