I have a boxer puppy, Lyle tells me boxers are dumb then backtracked and said but not her. He told me my cocker spaniel is too old at 10 to learn anything. He said he can train her. He slapped her bottom several times to get her to sit. I thought maybe I'm too soft and this is the way of things in the real world. I agreed to leave them. Thanksgiving week we dropped them off with all their stuff with instructions that the boxer will get diarrhea if given a different food. Mind you I took enough for 4 days, knowing they won't eat it all because they just don't eat much when not at home. He said he throws out all leftovers and gives fresh everyday. BS! I put the food in sealed cereal box containers, 2 of them. When I picked them up Friday after thanksgiving I was later by 1 1/2 hours, 4;30 in the afternoon. My cocker spaniels bed was soaked through with pee! It was so wet it literally dripped! I had to throw it away. The boxers bed had poop all over. Threw that one away. Their food containers, 1 full the other half full. I didn't say anything because I was totally intimidated by Lyle. His wife was nice I thought! As soon as my dogs came out of kennel they peed. A lot. So they had not been let out for a long while. They hopped in car right away and the ride home was almost unbearable! My dogs stank so bad! As soon as we got them home they got baths, crates sanitized and beds went in the trash. The beds were not cheap either. Yep i saved money on the kennel. But i had to buy medication for my boxer because she had diarrhea. Had to buy 2 beds. My dogs were not the same dogs i dropped off. They were beat down. I don't know if the people there actually hit either one of my dogs but you can tell they were neglected and not treated well. I thought maybe I was over reacting so I mentioned this to friends and they said no way I was not. I wouldn't take my dogs back there if they paid me to leave them. No I didn't say anything to these people. I was so po'd that I was afraid I'd cry I was so mad. Found out that my granddaughter's friends left their dogs there for a few days. She said her husband never told her all the details but he was very unhappy with this kennel, po'd. Next time I leave my dogs in a kennel it will be a well known establishment that has been reviewed. Yes I will pay more but well worth it. I wouldn't take my dog back to be trained either, as I was planning on. I'm sure he would break her spirit and that is what I love sbout her.

She gets nervous when people come into the home and I'm not there which makes pet sitting a challenge - so much so that she was fired as a client by the service I used in Chicago. Enter Newman's. Not only are both sitters, Emma and Christine, lovely people, they handled Edna in stride. They are awesome about sending texts after every visit and give me updates and details so it never feels like they're just checking a box. Christine has been our go-to and she's just awesome...noticing things like new food bowls and finding nice things to say about my salty Edna. I always look forward to her texts when I'm away. The owner, Jena responds to requests immediately (even when she's on vacation) and never has a problem with last-minute schedule changes. Overall, the level of service is truly exceptional - I highly recommend Newman's if you're looking for someone to take amazing care of your pets while you're away.

Mike at K.I.S.S. Dog training has made a monumental impact not only on our Australian Cattle Dog,…read moreBernie, but our whole family. We started out as a complex case due to Bernie's reactivity towards other people, a variety of objects (mainly those with wheels), hyperactivity, etc. We learned how to keep Bernie under his threshold so he gets to practice good behavior as much as possible. We went through his Babies Don't Bark course and Bernie is now the best older brother to my one month old! I never would have imagined Bernie would be walking next to a stroller or staying calm by lying off to the side when people/dogs pass by but sure enough he's doing it...still with lots of cheese to motivate him :-) Mike helped us get anxiety meds started, which has made a big difference, and has normalized wearing a muzzle! I won't sugar coat the amount of work and patience it takes to keep up on training but it's been worth it. Mike is so responsive in emails (within hours of asking a question) and has lots of YouTube videos and books to help owners. Training a dog is a life long experience! Last year I felt overwhelmed but now I have a better understanding of how to help Bernie in different situations so I feel in control. Special shout-out to Angela for being so helpful with scheduling! Thank you!!

The husband and I fostered and adopted our dog Johnny -- a Black Lab/Great Dane mix -- from the KC…read morePet Project back in December. Now, we've never had such a big dog, and it was clear from the start that Johnny had a great temperament. But, he's big, eager, and was on track to accidentally hurt us or someone else, and we definitely had some moments of "Are we sure about this?". After another frustrating morning, our dog walker told us that we really, really needed to invest in some dog training, so I pulled out the pamphlet our vet had given us and made the call. Ken was very reassuring on the phone and described the program as being all about leadership. We opted for private training, which, not gonna lie, is pricey -- $1,000. But, that comes with all the private lessons you need (we only needed four), a year's worth of follow-up (we can call any time with questions), and an initial package of materials including the training book, Gentle Leader head collar, leash, beanbags, etc. To be honest, it's not so much about training the dog as it is about training the people! Once we started consistently using the tools Ken taught us, Johnny became a happy, well-behaved dog who everyone loves. He is still excited to see people, but he doesn't jump (and on the rare occasion that he does, we have a method to quickly correct him). He knows where he belongs in the "pack" (aka us) and doesn't try to take charge. He walks nicely on a leash. We're able to take him to daycare, where he socializes well with other dogs, and doesn't go crazy when he sees other dogs on his walks. And we easily trained him out of "nuisance barking" at things like the mail delivery. Most importantly, Ken taught us a "magic word" that helps us bring Johnny back if he gets out, which, let me tell you, has come in handy. If you amortize the cost of the training over a ten-year life, that's $100 a year for a dog who is a pleasure to be around and everyone is happy to see. That seems cheap! Given where we started -- incredibly frustrated and stressed out -- and where we are now -- everybody's happy -- I can't recommend GentleDogTraining.com highly enough. Spend the money, put in the time, and get the results!
