I already wrote a review on their website and it disappeared…read more I didn't want to write this review but I feel it's important for people who love their pets. We brought our seventeen year old papillon for two days last weekend to Karla's Pet Rendezvous. Our first impression was great. They were very friendly and they said they were waiting for us. Someone took our dog right away and said she would be with her. The woman at the desk received our dog's bag and started taking notes of everything we needed with respect to feeding our dog. We gave her a new bag of very special food and explained how to serve it. We told her also that we left a can of food, only in case of need. She was saying yes to everything. I wonder if she actually wrote it down. Two days later we returned for our dog. We were very concerned to find out if she ate well. She usually doesn't eat well when we are not around and that's why we brought in the special food. To our surprise, they said she ate well. We also asked if she was taken out to the bathroom recently. She said about an hour ago. Our dog was crying from the moment she saw us, which was also unusual but we thought she really missed us. We left, thinking everything was fine. We took her outside and she peed immediately for a long time. She doesn't do this unless she hasn't been out for hours. I was already disappointed but I didn't say anything and left. Our dog kept crying in the car, which it's also strange. I gave her a treat and she devoured it. And wanted more. I told my husband, our dog seems very hungry which it's very unusual since it was about 3 in the afternoon and she doesn't eat dinner until after 6. We stopped to feed her. The first thing we found was the bag of the special foods that was not even open. We served it immediately and our dog was really starving. They didn't even opened it! We found the can food that was open and they used only a little bit. We were so upset. Our dog ate and stopped crying. The next day I called the pet boarding place and they dismissed me. They said it was an accident. I felt really bad to have left my dog in such bad care. I do not recommend this place at all.

We had spent so much time together during that time I guess she became hyper vigilant with me. She would become aggressive with any dog that came within in 10 feet of me. Barking and pulling and standing very tall. It never happened when others walked her without me. I tried for two years to change her behavior, including two different trainers, with no real changes. 10 weeks ago Maisie and I went back to Kelly (she had trained Maisie before Covid and she had moved her facility to further away). Within 5 minutes she had it figured out and we started a very simple, but effective program. Within 2 weeks there was a major difference. Maisie was more relaxed, calmer and much less territorial. She travels back and forth to CA from NH every year and I need her to be calm in the airport and not look at other dogs. 6 weeks after we started with Kelly we had to fly back to CA. Maisie was amazing. She was perfect. At 10 weeks out, she saw a dog long before I did. She sat and looked right at me without any instruction from me. THANK YOU KELLY!!!!!!! Can't wait to get back to NH this spring and tune up her service dog training and do some agility! Thank you again!!

She came to our house once, talked to us for 30 minutes, gave our puppy a knee bone of some kind that my vets don't like, and then proceeded to show us how to teach our 4 month old puppy not to jump on people. Well that works fine in the yard but not so much when we are out and about. She also said she would communicate about our next session but she never reached back out. A month passed and I wrote a bad review and she erased it! That tells me a lot about her work ethic...there is none! Find someone else, it's sure not worth $75/hour!

I discovered Timber Ridge Farm in Saco, Maine about a month after I moved to Massachusetts from…read moreCalifornia (military orders). I was in search of a German Shepherd Dog breed specific breeder on the East Coast to add to my family in addition to my German Shepherd Dog I had from the West Coast. I must've looked at 20+ websites for various GSD breeders, until I stumbled on Timber Ridge Farm's website. I contacted Doreen about a litter of pups she had and made a deposit on the last available male from the Tux Z Arnultovic IPO3 and Piper Z Timberridge IPO3 FH1 litter (May 30, 2014) and arrived on July 25, 2014 to pick up my new puppy, Jax. Doreen even gave me a military discount on the final balance of Jax, which was very generous of her. Subsequently, I brought Jax back for further obedience training with Doreen. I underestimated the "working dog" in Jax, and blame myself for not meeting the level of need/demand he required as a working dog. We lived in a townhouse with no fenced yard, and my husband and I figured that walking Jax and dog park visits would be adequate for Jax as it had been for our other GSD who is 2 years old than Jax (she is now 4 and he is 2). Jax had basic obedience training that I taught him (potty trained, sit, stay, down, speak, etc.), but he was also very smart and knew that he only had to behave when I was watching him. He tore up every single bed we bought him throughout his life, destroyed two crates (eventually we had to invest in a $600 military working dog aluminum crate for him), ate cardboard boxes if we left them on the floor, yelped and screamed (temper tantrum) during the entire duration of a walk outside (so much that people would stop and stare as if we were beating him), walked around the house and high pitched whined non stop until my husband and I would give him some attention, he was just an all around monster dog (like the animal planet TV shows) that demanded our attention otherwise he would throw a tantrum. We love Jax and even at times we thought it was "the last straw," we just knew that he was a member of our family and we needed to make it work. We tried a dog trainer in Massachusetts for a few weeks, but they were unsuccessful in training Jax nor did they even reply to my last email regarding my concerns with Jax at their facility. We even signed a new lease at a higher rent home just to be able to give Jax a 1/2 acre fenced backyard to play in. We were doing all that we could to give Jax the best life and environment to thrive. So I got back in touch with Doreen and drove the 2 hours back to her facility with Jax in tow. I dropped Jax off on April 2, 2016 and picked him up on May 2, 2016. On Jax's first day back home, he was a brand new dog. I recognized him, but then I didn't. No more whining, no more leash pulling, no more attacking our other GSD, I fell in love with Jax all over again. I was nervous taking him out on a walk (despite the other nightmare walks), but he walked out the door with such grace and plopped his butt down on the porch and waited for me to lock the door. He had his full attention on me during the walk and every time I abruptly stopped, he simultaneously looked up at me and sit his butt down by my side. When I had him "sit," he would stay put (despite me walking around the house), until I gave him the command that it was OK for him to move. He was still the same dog (inside). He still loved to cuddle with me on the couch (when I let him up), and he still followed me around yearning for affection and to be petted. Doreen thoroughly briefed me on what I was doing wrong (I was boring to him) and gave me some direction on how to improve and what to continue to do further. She consistently provided me updates on Jax throughout his 30 day stay with her, sent pictures, and videos. At my request, she also started protection dog training with Jax, and it was amazing to see my friendly dog, who can run up to the UPS guy wagging his tail, bite a trainer's arm on command. At no point during his long boarding at her facility was I ever worried about his well being, like I normally am when boarding him at another boarding facility. From the beginning, Doreen has always been responsive to my e-mails, questions, and inquiries. Her business offers a variety of services that is not only limited to GSD breeding, but also includes obedience/tracking/protection dog training, dog boarding, and equestrian boarding. All at amazing prices, considering the level of service you receive from her. Her facility (that I have been to a few times so far) shows her dedication to these dogs with many spacious kennels, a separate building for indoor dog training, and large fields for outdoor dog training as well. I've taken my dogs to various boarders and trainers where walking inside makes me feel bad for dropping off my dogs, but here, I feel as if I'm dropping my dog off to doggie vacation. It's a two hour drive for me to this place, but it's well worth it!
