We brought our other cat too for some routine worm medication. My previous cat was also seen here (though I can't remember for the life of me the name of the vet, she was a lovely Asian lady). I have always had a fantastic experience here. The vets are honest, even if that honesty might be a little terrifying! But I appreciate having a clear idea of what is happening and not being placated by vagaries. The front staff are lovely and polite, and they're always super nice to me even if I bombard them with phone calls and questions! Both of my cats now seem to love coming here (minus the actual travel time, naturally). They both are happy and wanting pets and cuddles from the staff! It's nice having a vet that I like, but my cats also like! I had read somewhere that their pricing was a bit expensive, but after looking around at some other clinics, I've found that it's pretty close to what other clinics charge for the same things. Overall, I love this clinic and would absolutely recommend it to friends!

They are bad for properly crediting your account when credit is supposed to be given and then you have to fight for it - and....you'll lose. Dr Schell is a good vet but it's going to cost you big time and they get upset if you go somewhere cheaper for routine testing. I took my dog to another vet for a urinalysis because BBV was hundreds of dollars more expensive. The results were sent back to BBV and they charged me about $80 for Dr Schell to look at the results at our next visit - which we also paid a full vet exam fee plus the charge to look at the results. One month, my dog was there 3 times that month for the same issue and I was charged a full vet exam fee every visit. Typically vets don't charge for follow up exams. They usually charge for the initial exam but not for a follow up / check up of the same issue. This was the last straw for me - so I moved on to a different holistic vet after being with BBV for a few years and my dog being a very regular patient of theirs...getting monthly chiro and acupuncture as well as regular check ups etc. I'll pay what I have to for my fur babies but I don't like being "nickel and dimed" to death. Please notice that all the other reviews are several years old. I think they've changed in a negative way over the last 5 years.

Hi there. Our journey with Holly at Happy dawg obedience training started in Febuary of 2016. Our…read morejourney has been filled with ups and downs. We started our training and education well before we brought our puppy home. Holly has been understanding and informative and what a great teacher she is. Our family puts holly on a golden pedestal, a little over the top, to some maybe be to us, no. She will tell you she wants to create balance one dog at a time and that she does. I can sit here all day and rave till the cows come home. Training a dog comes with a ton of work and effort, Holly has shown us how to create balance with our dog Lacey. LACEY IS being trained for support work, her genuine caring personality and love for dogs has brought us here. We have got where We are with Lacey because of her dedication. Holly thank you for never giving up on us. We would never look at another trainer. This woman can not,and will not be replaced. Tanya, Matt, Jacob and Lacey Little.

From the owner: I help dogs and their owners learn how to create and strengthen bonds of trust and respect with…read moreeach other. To achieve this, I use a balanced, compassionate, common-sense approach to help change unwanted behaviors and encourage and reinforce good behavior. I believe that unwanted behaviors are the outcome of a problem, so I work with you and and your dog to first find the root cause of the issue, and then, work on changing it. Only addressing the outcome instead of the cause is like putting a small band-aid on a huge, open gash and expecting it not to bleed. From obedience basics to unwanted behaviors - e.g. leash pulling, excessive barking, jumping up, etc. - I work very closely with owners to help them build and/or restore strong, life-long bonds of mutual trust, respect, and loyalty with their dogs. And though our scheduled time together - e.g. basic obedience course - comes to an end, I am there for owners and their dogs for the rest of their dog's life.

Maggie has some issues with jumping up on people when she is excited, not listening to us when she is focused on something else and fairly bad leash aggression.

She is extremely educated when it comes to how the dogs brain works and made us more informed about things we thought differently.

They aren't supposed to leave the mother until a full 8 weeks. Anyways, I am not sure if you know what huskies can be like but they are VERY,VERY, VERY independent, free spirited dogs. He just LOVED Beth's course. What a treat for him to run around with 20 other dogs in a programmed, strong, active environment. I am not sure what the other weirdo on Yelp is referring to when they say abusive jerking on leashes or whatever, but that is totally not true. Besides, you are the one controlling your dog, and if you start abusing your dog, that is your own problem. Beth doesn't advocate any negative energy at all. In fact, it is specified in one of the lessons to never use negative energy or the dog may resent you. Also mentioned was to actively play with your dog so that they don't resent you. ALL of the teachings were to keep the dog well behaved, with positive reinforcement. When a puppy doesn't sit, Beth says, "Gently pull down on the collar to emphasize the direction you want the puppy to go." When the puppy tries to run off in their own direction, she emphasizes to keep them closer to you, and use your body as a blocking tool to stop the dog from passing you so he/she knows where you expect them to be. There is no yanking, bashing or any of that going on there and I found it quite offensive to see people saying these kinds of things when they are totally untrue. The classes are focused on emphasizing POSITIVE reinforcement without treats, without negative energy. Shoulder rubs, head pats, and lower back scratches are utilized. Not discipline or negative energy. Our puppy Romeo just loved this. He sits, jumps, lays down (very hard for him to do) and even comes, (for the most part). For a husky, the command to come is literally the MOST impossible command to teach them. We have our struggles with rabbits still, but Cultured Canines is the place to go if you need to train a puppy. At one point Beth had Romeo running beside me without a leash without him running off which was very impressive for me since he never does that. He always bolts off to jump on another dog! On top of it all, the cost is very economical, and after you complete the 20 or 25 classes for around $500-600 bucks, you can actually bring him back for another year for free to keep him socialized, healthy, and reinforce the training. Highly recommend this as a start for training. The homework is up to you!
