Her training is top notch, and I would say she can train ANY dog. She loves what she does, and she loves dogs. That's a winning combo in my book. You can also support a Navy vet. Need training or boarding do yourself a favor and at least reach out to her.

My first dog was a rescue and went through training with Lisa Marie, who did an excellent job. He ended up attending daycare almost every weekday of his life until he passed in 2022 at the age of 18. To this day I attribute his long life to the love (and the activity) that he was given by the staff at Four Paws on a daily basis. Since his passing I got a new puppy that has been attending daycare every weekday as well. She can't wait to go every day, and rushes to the front door when we arrive in the morning. You know that you are at a great place for your dog when the staff is as excited to see the dog as much as your dog is excited to see them. The prices at Four Paws are very reasonable, especially compared to other options nearby. I have temporarily tried other facilities (mostly due to the pandemic), but none stand up to the level of Four Paws. I've recommended them to other dog owners I know and they are now regular daycare attendees as well. If you bring your dogs to Four Paws both you and your dogs will not be disappointed!

Because of my telework schedule, I've been home when she comes to get my girl for her walk. My pup starts looking at the door and whining about 30 minutes before her arrival and goes crazy when she sees her buddy. I am so grateful I have someone trustworthy and fur baby approved for my girl. Amy is amazing! I adopted a 18 lb rescue Terrier Mix and was not prepared for keeping her home during the work days for two weeks while her vaccines kicked in. Amy jumped in to help. She is flexible to assist with last minute schedule changes. Being military, I appreciated Amy's military family background because she understands my unique challenges and also can get on base with no problem. She even brought a harness when my little escape artist needed it. I trust her completely and am bummed she won't be going with us when we move in January. My puppy loves her, too, and can't wait for Miss Amy to visit!

Every time I drop her off she is running back in forth in my car with excitement bc she loves playing all day! We also adopted another puppy and she had been going here as well since she was 4 months! All of the workers know my dogs by their first name, and dropping them off is easy as can be! I love watching them play while looking at their cameras in the lobby! By the time they are picked up when I get off of work, they are out in the back seat! The rest of the evening they are asleep on the couch from playing all day! We have also boarded both a few times and have had no complaints! They eat all of their food, and if they weren't they would call me! We love Great Neck and wouldn't take our pups anywhere else. They are comfortable here and that's all that matters even though it's about a 30 minute drive out of the way from work...

PLEAAE do not bring your dogs here. I work next door and can see how awful they treat the dogs. I…read moresaw one young man hit a brindle dog today in the face and then yell at him to not bite him afterwards. It just always feels like an unfair bite report waiting to happen. I have seen a dog have a very loose bowel movement and while the person in the yard saw it and took their time to clean it up, another dog ate it. What if the dog with the loose stool had Giardia or something else that was highly contagious? I know sometimes this is probably unavoidable but the gentleman saw the dog squat, and then slowly walked towards the dog, and when the other dog ate it, the gentleman was standing over the scene of the crime. He could have picked it up in time. I have a video of one of the previous workers screaming at a dog for standing on his hind legs while looking over the fence at the other dogs, and then grabbing it by the collar and violently ripping it off of the fence and down to the ground where she lost control of him and almost fell herself due to the force with which she ripped him down. What if that dog had bitten her? It would have been treated as if it was the dog's fault and not the clear abuse of the animals that goes on there. The turnover rate is SO high. I don't think I've ever seen an employee there more than a few weeks. Everyone I work with agrees that they would also never take their babies there, which is unfortunate because it would be so convenient. I think their staff to dogs ratio is very off, which probably makes the employees very overwhelmed. Again, I urge you to find anywhere else. It's heartbreaking that people trust them with their pets and they are treated terribly while they're there. I would be so upset if a dog bit someone and the owners not be informed that it wasn't their dog's fault, but the treatment they received causing them to fight back.

I was skeptical at first,,, but after talking to Kat and Mikalia I was ready. They took time to explain the process and what I should expect from training; and daily updates would be provided. My primary concerns were her possibly becoming passive if the training was aggressive or overwhelming (because she is a very outgoing and happy dog), I was concerned about her jumping on people, pulling while walking, and overall ignoring me. Bella was projected to worked with everyone there Kat, Makila, Halie, and Atavia. Training : Week one Every day Bella was a happy girl! There's a weekly meeting with the trainer , pet and pet parents. I hadn't had my meeting yet however overall Bella would come home and sitting on her cot without being told. Bella was more calm and content with sitting on her cot/place. I was surprised because she always preferred the sofa. Week 2 Bella is still a very happy girl !! While dropping her off she was happy and walked away without looking back at me. I noticed our walks at home were much better and her pulling was much less.. Week 3 Everyday she is still my happy Bella. I couldn't take her to public places without the stress of her pulling and trying to say hi to everyone around her. By week 3 almost zero pulling on her leash during walks, we were going to the pet store and she is more focused. She did not stop to say hi unless someone said something to her and I also stopped... at the end of week 3 I took Bella to the beach... she sat in the wagon and never tried to jump out while I was pulling (this use to be a nightmare) . After we were settled Bella sat calmly on the blanket with my sister and I .... Several people actually stopped to say how well behaved she is... I wish I would have found K9 aholics in Norfolk VA sooner. But I'm happy to I finally did. Well worth it.. Bella is still in training , and she is doing great!!

She also struggled on walks because of the constant pulling to the point we worried she would hurt herself. We decided to start with a private session with Kilo One where they came into our home and worked on walking on the leash with her. It was immediately clear they knew exactly what they were doing and saw progress after just one session! We ultimately decided on sending our pup for a 3-week board and train where she could get more practice to help her cement all the basics down. After coming home we have noticed a huge difference. She responds much more consistently to all her commands (sit ,stay, down, place, kennel, etc.) but also is doing much better on walks! We were hesitant at first sending her away for so long but Jon and Haley were great! We got so many updates and pictures/ videos along the way that put us at ease. We would truly recommend Kilo One to all our friends and family, it has been a game changer! We look forward to continuing our pups training with them!
