Amanda has been wonderful in coming up with a bespoke plan based on my needs and more importantly the needs of Yaretzi.

We have completed 8 sessions and I plan on doing additional sessions in the future to see how much more we can do together!

Amanda has been positive, patient, and kind throughout the whole process. She is always available to support us with any questions we have, and we have been seeing some great progress with our boy. We have been getting comments from friends and family about how much calmer he has been lately, and it has been a relief to know that he can learn and improve. I would definitely recommend ARF to anyone who is struggling with their dog and not sure where to start.

PASS ON THIS PLACE. Would not recommend this place. I was looking around to find a place a bit…read morecloser to us than our usual barks and rec (they are great by the way just a bit far and a little more expensive). We took our two dogs there for a temperament evaluation since it was their first time and we were wanting to book them for a week in October. They took them back for maybe 3 MINUTES and came back out and said that one of our dogs was nervous (I'm sorry but duh) and that we needed to book "A LOT" of day visits so he would not be nervous anymore. It's odd because it's totally normal for any dog to be nervous the first time going somewhere which immediately threw up a red flag for me. Not to mention the lady was pretty rude about it when I was obviously confused as to how they would know his normal stress levels after 3 minutes upon getting there. I got weird vibes so I just said we can cancel it and no worries. She immediately snaps back and says something about me not being fair to our dog if I don't book daycare visits regularly and what am I even doing there if we already have a boarding place etc.(very strange behavior). Most places have you book a day visit so they can see how your dog adjusts the entire day which our dogs do totally fine. Our dog is 10 years old and doesn't have any underlying anxiety conditions and was never prescribed medication for that ever so this seemed odd. Just a bad vibe in general. Unfriendly staff and insufficient time to actually see how the dogs warm up to the place for the first time.

He's communicative and provides guidance to the owners as well to be successful on reinforcing the training as well! Thank you Bar!

The dogs were always so excited when we opened the car door and they saw Bar. We highly recommend Bar whether you have a young dog or an older one. We had one of each and the results are amazing!

Unfortunately, the current Zoom Room ownership is atrocious and I would strongly suggest finding…read moreanother place to train your dog. I had been going to Zoom Room for over 2 years and had experienced some different trainers, some of whom were good, some bad. Finally, there was some consistency with an excellent trainer, Cari, and so I purchased an annual membership. Over the past year I had worked with Cari, who was fantastic. She had an amazing talent for knowing what you and your dog could handle and needed and she prioritized safety and the overall experience. Unfortunately, Cari left recently, and I have to imagine the owner had something to do with it, as clearly this location is horrendously mismanaged. There was a period of time where there were no classes available, and we were never told why. Then randomly they announced "new management" and brought in a trainer who had been shadowing Cari for just a few weeks as the new Manager and solo trainer. I had briefly worked with this trainer and I was not very impressed with his training skills. I did not feel like I would be making progress with my dog any more at this location, so I contacted the owner Diego asking for a partial refund. He talked disrespectfully about his previous employees, ranted about me not giving people a try, and raised his voice, berating me about "what if you signed up for a membership at a yoga studio and your favorite instructor left" among other things. During this rant he also shared that the trainers they get are untrained and uncertified and they go through some basic training before coming on board which does NOT inspire confidence in the future of this location. I have NEVER been spoken to in such a disrespectful, aggressive way as a customer. This franchise is clearly not well run. While they might find gems of trainers like Cari from time to time, you might also get stuck with untrained people.. or possibly even NO instructors. As another review mentions, consistency in trainer is absolutely critical to progress with your dog, and while I understand there is some employee turnover expected over time, this location has experienced too much turnover to be acceptable. I truly did love my experience with Zoom Room while Cari was there but now I highly recommend you save your money. It's not worth spending that much money to potentially have to keep working with different, random, possibly untrained employees and be talked down to by the franchise owner who really needs to hone his business and customer service skills.

We worked with Charlie and Hudson when she was first a puppy and learned a lot of basics, we returned to help create a system where our dog has an expectation of what happens when people come over, so she doesn't have to feel so anxious all the time. K9 University helps train us for our dog, and honestly helped me understand her so much better. We are leaving for an extended period of time and I was so nervous about what to do with our dog, but then I found out that K9 University ALSO does board and train! This eased my mind so so much. I couldn't think of anyone better or more skilled to watch and train our dog while we are away. I can't wait to see her updates and just know that she will be mentally and physically occupied in a productive manner! We love k9 University!!!! Will always come back and will always sing the praises of this great group of people.

Both Christina and Donna picked up on his anxiety and started from there. it was to be two weeks but they added a week(no charge) as Murphy had to unwind which took 5 days. From there, they sent me videos and then requested both my husband and myself get training to help with his training. not once or twice or three times but 4 times to ensure we knew how to help Murphy be the best he could be. We even went to a hardware store and walked around with several people getting supplies. Murphy was once afraid of people, now only curious and has become a great citizen. Please note that the training has to continue with us and we are constantly looking at the post notes to keep all of us in the right direction. I would highly recommend Brandon McMillan Canine Minded Dog Retreat training for anyone wanting to start with guidance for a nice future. Thank you so much! I shall be back for some refreshers in the future.
