    Unfortunately Pawsitive Difference does not have their own Yelp profile so I will have to leave my review for them here since they hold their events at this PetSmart location. I do not recommend supporting Pawsitive Difference Pet Rescue. My girlfriend and I have fostered multiple times, and we recently found a dog we truly connected with -- one who seemed like the perfect fit for our family. Unfortunately, the way this agency handled our experience was incredibly upsetting and unprofessional. From the beginning, there were red flags. At our first visit, we were told by the owner that we couldn't take the dog out of the kennel into the play area -- yet just minutes later, another family (with a child) was allowed to do exactly that. The dog also wore a pink collar and had paperwork showing for his already-adopted sister. We were later told this was intentional to make him seem more appealing by presenting him as female. Still, we looked past all this and decided to foster him when that family chose not to adopt. During the foster period, everything clicked. Our typically shy dogs loved him, and he loved them. We became quickly attached and knew he was the one. The following day, we were told we had to bring him back to the next adoption event. When we arrived, we expressed we were certain to adopt him -- though we were surprised by the $650 fee. We were told this included neutering, vaccines, and PetSmart training. Since we already have a trusted vet and experience training our dogs, we politely asked if the fee could be adjusted. The owner was dismissive and rude, flatly saying no. Despite that, we stayed near his kennel, trying to make the numbers work. One staff member even snapped at us, saying, "No one else can see him if you're standing there," despite the fact that we were already fostering him and trying to finalize the adoption. Eventually, we decided we were all in -- we'd make it work, no matter what. I approached the adoption coordinator (Joel) and told him we were ready. He acknowledged that, as fosters, we had first choice, and informed a staff member named Cindy of our decision. Cindy abruptly contradicted him and loudly announced we couldn't adopt him because another family was now interested -- even though they hadn't started any paperwork. Her loud reaction caused their young daughter to cry, and the situation escalated unnecessarily. To make things worse, one staff member (I didn't get her name but she is in the photo attached) physically grabbed my girlfriend when she tried to gently apologize to the other family. We were shocked and heartbroken. We were told, in no uncertain terms, "You're not adopting him. They are." It felt like retaliation for simply asking if the adoption fee could be flexible -- as if that somehow disqualified us as potential adopters. We ultimately wish nothing but the best for the dog we grew to love, and truly hope the young girl who adopted him gives him the amazing life he deserves. This organization's behavior was deeply disappointing. They were unprofessional, combative, and seemed more interested in money than the well-being of their animals or the families willing to love them.

    The professional staff offered me the flexibility and options for our puppy. They even followed up the next day to see how she was feeling.

    AJ is amazing!!! I highly recommend!!!! AJ is such a…read morewonderful trainer. We found her when we brought a new Aussie puppy home, already having a three year old border collie. There were a few problem behaviors we were able to work on right away. Jumping, sitting, and overall listening. AJ is extremely great with our dogs. They are excited to see her every session, and happy to work hard for her. AJ is not only a great dog trainer but also a teacher to us humans. She helped us learn the tools we needed for our dogs to be successful. After 8 sessions our dogs are doing great with door manners, a long stay, coming when called and more. She has taught us fun games that allow the dogs to use their noses to find scents, while also tiring them out. I recommend AJ to anyone in need of help with dogs who already are great, but have a few quirks to workout. And I highly recommend AJ to anyone with new pups in the house. She has made a huge difference for us, and our dogs as well as everyone's confidence!

    **UPDATE** Our training journey with Nala started on…read more6/29/18 and we signed up for the 6 session lesson plan. Today is actually our 7th lesson (and still ongoing). I must stress that AJ is just not about training but more importantly she believes in Nala's well being. AJ created a bond with Nala, yet Nala is aware she is in training. AJ listened to our needs, and investigated our surroundings/situation. AJ prioritizes Nala's delicate insecurities. There are not many Trainers (or businesses) that go above and beyond the need to "sincerely help" and yet is still a professional. ie: AJ has accompanied us on numerous Vet visits; suggested Doggie Daycare, plus accompanied us on Nala 1st visit and ensured Nala's transition into socializing with other dogs. In which was a success! Nala is now at leash training status and people interaction. Stay tuned for further updates... Don't ponder... we still HIGHLY RECOMMEND AJ for your pet training needs!!!!

(I understand no dog is and they all make mistakes, but I have somewhat high expectations for my dood). Needless to say, I was not disappointed with the training Dexter received in the basic obedience program. He's been awesome! Thanks to Nicki and PupScouts Dog Training, Dexter has been better than I could ever imagine. With training, he's exceeded every bit of my expectations and has been the best for myself and for my family (which has a great range of ages that he does amazing with, from children to the elderly). Dexter is the pup of my dreams, and I can't wait for him to learn more with his introduction to socialization and public training!

She tailored our sessions specifically to what we were looking to work on with Franklin, such as down stays, recall, and staying at the front door instead of racing outside and pulling on his leash. During training, she always explained everything very thoroughly so that my whole family could understand, and answered any and every question we had. She's truly gifted with dogs and her training has proven to be very effective with our pup. I will definitely continue using the techniques I learned from her with Franklin and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you!!!

If you're looking for a knowledgeable and professional dog trainer, Nick brings both expertise and clarity to the process. His approach gave us the confidence to move forward with one of his puppy training packages. The group sessions have been incredibly valuable--providing structure, socialization, and meaningful growth for Koa. We're especially grateful for the one-on-one guidance Nick has given us, helping us confidently reinforce commands and build strong obedience skills at home and on walks. We've seen tremendous improvement, particularly in managing Koa's over-the-top excitement when greeting people and other dogs. Content K9s also offers boarding and training to their clients, so having that option during our recent 2 1/2-week international trip gave us complete peace of mind. Koa was clearly well cared for, and we returned to a happy, well-adjusted pup. Nick and the Content K9s team deliver professional, effective, and thoughtful dog training. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for puppy training, obedience training, or behavioral support.

She wouldn't walk when I put the leash on her and would just freeze in place. I was so nervous & stressed out on how I would train her when she wouldn't even take one step. On Day 1, Nick was able to get her so much more confident and walking at a nice, steady pace. I've done both private & group lessons now and cannot recommend this company enough! They turned my shy little Chai into a proud, confident German Shepherd like she was always meant to be!
