Whether you're tackling basic obedience or diving into more advanced training, this place makes the whole experience fun and rewarding. The owner is right there with you during class, offering constant encouragement and clear guidance. She even sticks around afterward to answer questions and make sure you feel confident practicing at home. The training is outstanding, and the day camp and grooming services blow every other place I've tried out of the water. There's a reason this spot is consistently rated the best--it genuinely is.

We are regular go-ers to paws and beyond. We have been taking our Pinto for grooming with Archie…read morefor at least ten months, if not longer. Archie is great with dogs. He charges a really reasonable price. Pinto gets nervous and Archie is very gentle with him. He's also very honest, and will update you after how the appt went. There's a little window you can look through to see your dog groomed if you want. Archie is also the first groomer we ever had that actually asks us what we want for grooming and will make sure we are absolutely satisfied. And he is consistent every time. Because of such positive grooming experiences, we have also enrolled Pinto in their six week beginning obedience training course. Sharon is an excellent trainer. She's patient, attentive, responsive, observant and considerate. The group classes were well done. I learned a lot about dog behavior and nutrition too that I still put to daily use. Pinto has had great improvements on his leash w alking behavior and we are highly impressed. Overall this is a great place for your dog. We have not used their boarding services yet but would not hesitate in the future if we need to. I trust them and also trust Sharon's advice in case I ever have a doggie question.

She has now worked with two of our Belgian Shepherds. Both came to her with seemingly insurmountable issues including dog and person aggression. Nichole combined obedience training with various sports training and both dogs are now well on their way to being really good dogs. Nichole is an extrordinarily great trainer. The price of her programs are fair and her results far exceed those of other much higher priced boot camps and board and trains. I can't recommend her highly enough! She will remain our go-to trainer.

This breeder is producing less than genetically sound German Shepherds. I personally had the…read moreunfortunate experience of owning one of her dogs that was literally a genetic mess. For starters he had kinked tail. Otherwise known as Hemivertebrea, Stacy, the owners daughter told me it happened due to overcrowding in the uterus. Reality, it is a genetic condition. That can also effect the dogs other vertebrae in the spine. My dog had Medial Luxating Patella, also, a genetic condition, that should never have occurred because the breeder claims to do OFA testing on all her dogs. My boy had bad arthritis by the age of 18 months. When contacting the breeder, I was told it was my fault, I "overworked him" it was environmental, so she tried to tell me. However my orthopedic specialist believed that was not the case. Later he started to develop lameness in his hind legs. When taking him to another specialist they believed it was neurological. More than likely his hemivertabrea was in his spine as well. We had an appointment with a neurologist when he passed away from unexplained bloat. Which can and is usually genetic, past through family blood lines, as well. Later after posting to several FB groups I have had several owners privately contact me telling me of their orthopedic problems with their dogs as well. Several have had dogs with bilateral hip replacements at young ages often by the age of 2. One pup had bilateral hip dysplasia and passed at the age of 8 months from bloat. Another one of this breeders dogs also had a kinked tail. This breeder is not being honest with what she is producing and is often brushing it off as a "one time unfortunate thing." When my dog passed away I tried to inform the Stonehill family on her FB group, however she would not approve the post, later I was removed completely from her FB page. Even though I do own another one of her dogs. The reason for this is a buyer beware. This is happening far too often with her dogs, and it is all being covered up, or dismissed as the owners fault, or a "one time occurrence ". Majority of owners I have spoken to have contacted me privately, I have every DM saved. I believe strongly in maintaining breed integrity and this is not happening. Unfortunately my boy passed away at the age of only 4.8 yrs old. He passed from unexplained Bloat, again it's genetic and I am not the only one of her dogs owners that have experienced this. Yes bloat can happen to anyone, the night my boy got it, he simply ate his food, only 2 cups, had a small drink of water and within 2 hrs , we had to put him down. The health issues are horrible, none of these dogs should have ever, had to suffer a lifetime of pain due to substandard breeding. This breeder claims all her dogs are OFA tested, if this was true, why are so many getting severe hip issues, and like my boy Medial Luxating Patella?? Beware I will give 1 star, because he was the best boy, and did have a wonderful temperament.

Young staff member lectured us if we were a little late, claiming we were throwing their whole schedule off. Rarely were there other vehicles or customers there, so I'm not sure how that was possible. Their services usually took 5 -10 minutes, with every minute of it seeming rushed, adding anxiety to our dog. Staff member didn't appear to have maturity to handle challenges, or interested in our dog. Based upon what staff we've met, you might get a good experience, but you're just as likely to get told that any problem is because of you or your dog, and they can't help you. Oh, and they pre-charge for the services, so if you don't have a good experience, well, that must be because you did something wrong. Pleasant for their accounting, not so much for your dog.
