Dana and Carol gave us a handbook full of information, were organized, enthusiastic, obviously love what they do, and gave clear instructions. Sure - as a previous reviewer said, you can find the same information online, but having it demonstrated and being able to ask questions is invaluable, not to mention the socialization and fun that the puppies partake in. There is just no comparison. Training a puppy is a long term endeavor that can't be accomplished in a few classes, but the Byrnes gave us a great head start and foundation to build on. I wouldn't go anyplace else.

The trainer and her assistants have been more than helpful in giving me some tricks and tips for training my stubborn little guy. When I got discouraged because he was acting up or just checked out for that exercise, they encouraged me and were quick to point out a skill he was able to do that he hadn't been able to before we started. Our trainer did recommend for him a prong collar. I researched the heck out of it and decided to try out. Next class we fit it, and there was a night and day difference. On our walks, he no longer chases bicycles, squirrels, cats and children. I'll admit, price and location were the driving factors for choosing them at first. I'm glad I did! In fact, we've signed up for another class this fall.

Most the reptiles and hamsters had little signs in their tanks that said "I went home for Christmas." There was one cat left in the adoption room and she looked so sad seeing another cat being adopted. I hope she got a home for Christmas because she was a beautiful calico. I went there to pick up cat food for my cat and ended up buying Christmas presents for my cat and my mom's cat. The lines were long but moved steadily. Overall, not a bad experience and I saw a woman pushing a duck in a baby carriage so that was wild.
