    **Training Review** We have brought our pup here for three different training classes with Mary. She has been so patient and caring with our rescue pup who has some trust issues. Not only did she work to gain his trust, but quickly became one of his favorite people. We have learned how to work with him to feel confident and comfortable in his surroundings! Would 100% recommend training with Mary!

    Listen, I don't expect a big song and dance when it comes to customer service, but minimal politeness and acknowledging customers should be the bare minimum for working retail. Whenever I come to this location, there is rarely any staff working the floor, so you have to stand awkwardly at the register and wave someone down. Since there are no other employees this should be expected that people will try and get help at the front. I stood at the register for awhile while three employees talked and actively tried to ignore me. I said "excuse me" as nicely as possible and the man on shift all but growled at me as he glared at me for speaking. I did want to ask if they'd price match as Amazon was literally $40 cheaper (I could have handled a "I'm sorry we don't offer that) and he was so rude when he said "just go buy it on amazon" which I could have done without asking. When I finally did check out my other items, the woman didn't even say hello or ask if I found everything ok. She just said "what's your phone number" repeatedly as I was trying to get my items out of my cart and juggle my kid. The man and this woman were clearly talking about some drama behind the scene right in front of customers. Again, I don't expect stellar personalities and over the top acting, but this place has disgruntled employees and poor management just from the way it's run. I usually order online but they have fish tank decor that's much better than what I found elsewhere. -10 stars for staff.

    Dogspot is truly Bambams' home away from home. The facility is exceptionally hygienic, but what…read morereally sets them apart are their strict vaccination and temperament standards that keep every pup safe. This place was a literal lifesaver for us: the staff once noticed Bams was lethargic with faint yellow gums--a detail so subtle that even Bams vet was impressed they caught it. It turned out to be mild jaundice, which proves that Carlene and her team are true professionals who deeply understand canine health. The front desk experience is always a highlight of our day. The staff--Gabs, Kayla, Daniela, and Enrique--are incredibly sweet, soft-spoken, and remarkably easy to talk to, even during those 6 am drop-offs. Being greeted by Kayla's pup, Yogi, or Carlene's pup, Poppy or Ingrid's pup is truly the best way to start the morning. They're such a joy; all they ever ask for is a little love and some well-deserved tummy scratches! The service is so thoughtful; they know Bams loves fetch but also ensure she gets her necessary quiet breaks after meals. Whether I'm at work or traveling internationally, I have total peace of mind thanks to the multi-angle webcam app and the heartwarming photo updates they send. Boarding is seamless (pro tip: label your food bags!), and the Paw Partner app makes booking a breeze. I also have to shout out Jessica from Snips and Snuggles--she is the sweetest groomer and always leaves Bams looking like a princess in her festive bandanas. A massive thank you to Carlene and the entire hardworking team-- Kayla, Gabs, Daniela, Enrique, Connor, Tim, and Ingrid (and anyone I missed!)--for the 14-hour days you pull to care for our furry family members. We appreciate and love you!

    Be ready for a hands-off approach by the owner Carlene. No direct contact or follow-up by phone…read more Uses email thru the shift manager to address customer concerns or feedback. Kinda the hands off corporate approach since Dog Spot is so big now. My situation of a dropped pre-paid stay package record lost during Dog Spot transition to a new on line app resulted in us not being able to use what we purchased. After 2 weeks of call messages, a visit to Dog Spot to get tbe new Dog Spot app loaded by the on-air Manager, and numerous voice mails to Carlene, the owner, I received an email telling me my pre-pause stay package had expired. My learning- don't buy pre-paid stay packages at Dog Spot. Don't expect the owner to return calls or follow up on customer concerns. She has staff to do that.

    Review for Michelle with Cosmo K9 Obedience for Max's training:…read more Max came to us after being surrendered to the Humane Society. We were told he had been an escape artist, and once we got to know him, we quickly realized just how much help he needed. He had no leash manners, was extremely reactive around other dogs, no recall, and pulled so hard that he left my wrist bruised. He was also very anxious and initially required medication. Oh and he's notorious for giving you the side eye... With my work schedule and limited experience with Mr. Sassy pants...I knew I needed professional help, so I reached out to Cosmo K9 Obedience and was matched with Michelle. She was truly the perfect match for Max. Michelle gave him exactly what he needed: love, patience, structure, and consistency. During his two-week training program, Max was exposed to so many new environments such as beaches, parks, stores, the mall, and more. He learned how to stay calm, listen, follow basic commands, and navigate situations that previously would have sent him into a barking or reactive frenzy. One thing I especially appreciated was Michelle's communication and attention to detail throughout the entire process. She provided detailed progress updates, photos, and notes that allowed us to see what Max was learning and how he was progressing. She even gave us a personalized graduation magnet with Max in a little cap and gown. It was such a thoughtful keepsake and a small personal touch that meant a lot to us. The difference we've seen is incredible. Max now enjoys his walks, responds to commands like sit, down, and recall, and is much more receptive when we encounter other dogs. He no longer bolts out the door, and even my kids feel more comfortable walking and working with him. Michelle didn't just train Max...she gave us the tools to continue his training at home. I know this is a lifelong commitment, and I have homework to continue working on, but I now feel confident that we have the tools to give Max the happy, active life he deserves. We're already looking forward to all the adventures ahead such as hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, bike rides, and so much more. We are incredibly grateful to Michelle for helping Max become a calmer, happier, and more confident dog.

    I cannot sing the praises of Michelle enough! When Monty returned from two weeks of Board and…read moreTrain with Michelle, he was a changed dog. He's not just a calmer dog, he's a CALM dog. We've had no out-of-control barking incidents; he can be tethered and remain quiet. He's very good on walks, moving from "heel" to "break" and back to "heel" again. He's very responsive to the "off" command, which we use primarily to keep him off the furniture and out of the kitchen. Last week we had friends over for dinner and after his initial excitement he was a good boy, lying nearby content and chewing on a bone. We even attended the Humane Society Walk for Animals at Kit Carson Park, and with hundreds of dogs and people and non-stop activities, he was again a very well-behaved boy. We are so appreciative of the work that Michelle did with Monty. He is now the dog we always hoped he would be - happy, well-behaved, and living his best life!

From the very beginning, Misty was incredible.

It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was prepared and genuinely cared about making everything go smoothly. On the wedding day, she was amazing. She arrived early to the Airbnb and was able to get used to walking and handling Louie. She walked Louie down the aisle, handled him and helped him greet guests during the ceremony and cocktail hour, and kept everything completely stress-free for us. She kept us updated via text throughout the day, and when it was time to drop him back off at our Airbnb in the evening, she sent photos and updates so we knew he was settled and happy. She even left us the sweetest wedding gift, which was such a thoughtful touch. Misty was kind, professional, organized, and clearly loves what she does. We are SO grateful for her and would absolutely book Dogs on the Run again. Highly, highly recommend!

She's always been a little anxious and vocal, but as she's gotten older, both issues have worsened. I've tried just about every other approach, but Justin's guidance and unique perspective on training are truly transformative. He doesn't just give you techniques to follow--he teaches you how to connect with your dog and ease the underlying issue in a way they can understand. The lifelong resource you gain through this service, combined with the trust and confidence he builds throughout the process, makes this feel like so much more than a training program. It has genuinely been life-changing for us both.

    Five stars isn't enough! Not only is Justin a proven expert trainer, the amount of compassion and…read morecommitment he has shown is unreal and truly heartwarming. He says his passion is helping people and their dogs, and I have no doubt about that. A month after separating from my partner and moving out to my own place, my leash aggressive, two year-old cane corso, Zeke, lunged at another dog in my apartment complex and took me with him. Fortunately, aside from a few cuts and bruises I sustained, everyone was OK. But the anxiety and emotional trauma that was left behind made me avoid taking Zeke out for walks all together and when I did my hands would start shaking. Thinking that I would be able to do it in my own, I watched hours and hours of dog training videos and even tried using an E collar, none of it helped. Not only were things stressful outside of the house, but inside of it too. My 14 year-old cocker spaniel and poodle mix, Lexi, is very reactive towards Zeke. Because her senses are not what they used to be. She has even mistaken me for Zeke and has snapped at me. The thought of me potentially losing my apartment, having to give up Zeke, and the fear that Lexi may accidentally bite one of my children caused even more stress on top of what I was already going through from the separation, so I knew I needed to get professional help. After just one phone call with Justin I already felt a weight lifted from my shoulders. We have only been working together for two weeks and have already seen improvement, not only with Zeke's responsiveness to corrections while on walks but with my confidence in leading my pups to a calm and happy life. Justin really set me up for success by giving me tools, demo videos, and tips - making me confident in my ability to correct Zeke's leash reactivity. Walks with Zeke are so much more calm for us both! So grateful for what Justin does and how he does it. He is so responsive and genuine, really making us a team with the same goals! Can't recommend him enough! THANK YOU, Justin!
