I do want to note this aspect as a positive prior to the rest of my review. My hubby and I viewed the rest of the experience as strange and similar to an SNL skit that played out in our own lives. Read on to hear the whole saga... We chose not to move forward with them because of a bizarre experience with them. From the beginning, it was a very strange interaction as they focused exclusively on building a relationship with our dog but not with me. One of their trainers called me on the phone (kind of like a secret agent tasked with a mission) and parked a ways away from my home on an easement that runs on the border of my house. When I met her, like a typical hu-man I was going to say hi to her and started approaching her, but she commanded me to walk away from her and not make any contact. Um, ok...weird but if it helps my anxious pup fine. I walked away from her, and they proceed to follow us, throwing cheese and meat at me and my dog. Um...ok...getting super weird and pretty rude to not introduce yourself and then proceed to throw meat and cheese at me and my dog on my property but I guess you're trying to show everyone who's the alpha. My dog honestly looked really confusedly at them. She didn't bark and happily ate the food but I was pretty uncomfortable. Next I was instructed to follow them. NO, not that close, back up they noted (I was already about 6 feet away). At this point, in the hot son with cheese and meat being thrown at my feet I was done, especially because they walked into my property and home and immediately tried to establish dominance with not just my pup, but me personally. Uh...sorry you're still a guest on my property. They comically threw cheese everywhere on my property, with my dog confused and sometimes not eating it. I watched as a piece slipped through the slats of my porch, likely to mold and cause a bad smell when the sun got to it, because my dog didn't have a chance to (might I add they had fanny packs and were just whipping the food at both of us at this point). We got into the house and it got worse. I thought they were just going to ask us questions and show some helpful tips, but they instead sat down at our table, asking if my cat had an allergy to the food. No...i said...before they immediately started throwing cheese and meat on the ground in our home. I looked in horror, as they hadn't asked about my son who did have a severe (anaphylactic) dairy allergy but they kept on. My dog was pretty good about eating it, but during their convo I watched as small pieces of cheese got stuck to our floor. [My husband reading this review asked me to add this: at one point the cheese got stuck to my toe, with the trainer apologizing, necessitating the words 'the cheese that just bounced off of me? that's ok...just keep going.' which is still a joke in our household to this day'. Making matters worse, their 'interview', while thorough lasted the entire 2 hours. They did not suggest improvements, and did random things like measure pupilary dilation (um, yes my dog is a nervous wreck and you're making the entire household one too!) or where her tail was when it was pretty clear holistically what was going on with her. We finally had to ask them to leave because it was going over time (about 3 hours) and they hadn't shown us any techniques, telling us they were establishing 'rapport'. In the end, we were left cleaning up a sticky cheese floor, with an aversion to dog training, and with a still anxious pup.

We found Just Peachy Pet Care at a challenging time in our lives, and we are so thankful we did…read more Both of our dogs were elderly and each of them needed special care. Our Labrador had just begun chemotherapy pills for colon cancer, and our Terrier had kidney disease. They both needed extra walks, cleanup, and affection. They also needed each other--they were inseparable. We were also dealing with ill and elderly family members out of state, necessitating many trips on short notice, some lasting several weeks. It was a very stressful and hectic time. With our dogs' special needs, commercial boarding facilities could not accept them. Other local boarders would not administer the chemotherapy medication or keep our dogs separated from other dogs to ensure safety with the chemotherapy passing through the system. Veterinarians could not provide the level of attention and affection needed. And this was far too much to ask of any friends. We needed specialty care for 2 dogs of drastically different sizes, and we needed availability on short notice (sometimes only a few hours' notice), plus the flexibility to not know when we would return from traveling. Just Peachy Pet Care to the rescue! Rebecca and Valerie provided a level of care for our pups that we couldn't even have imagined. Our pups were sooooo happy. Soooo comfortable. Sooooo loved. Soooo safe. And we were so relieved. We still don't know what else we would have done if we hadn't found JPPC. They even surprised us with pictures from a holiday photo shoot. Our pups were each able to stay with Rebecca and Valerie frequently until their final weeks. These stays even included trips to our vet for checkups, tests, and emergency visits, calling us into the appointments to speak with them and the vet together. We knew when it was time to get home and be with our dogs thanks to this incredible care. We said goodbye to each of our pups with very peaceful and affectionate final days, and then we returned to be with family after. We know this would not have been the possible without Rebecca, Valerie, and team. Thank you so much for everything you did for us and our beloved pups.

It can be a gamble when giving someone access to your home. Asking that person to take care of your family (pets) brings it up a notch. Carrie immediately won my parents over (not an easy feat) with her bubbly personality and clear passion for animals. We use Carrie's services when my parents travel. I am the go-to overnight pet-sitter for them but due to my long, unpredictable work hours, Carrie will come over 1-2 times daily to walk and feed Sadie. Carrie does not charge extra when my dog Bentley is there and takes him along on walks. Each visit Carrie leaves an adorable note on the counter with a recap. My parents dog (Sadie) is extremely fearful due to an abusive past owner. Carrie has won her over with patience and treats. This note is one of my favorites from Carrie: Sadie did excellent on our walks!! She and Bentley were so happy to see me each time I came. In fact, they never even barked at me (Not even on my first visit). We had a few beautiful sunny days which the dogs loved. Twice we went to the park. It was such a pleasure walking Sadie (and Bentley). The three of us became good pals. She is a great dog! I hope you had a nice trip and I hope to see Sadie again soon. :) Thanks, Carrie I strongly recommend Carrie/Feline Friends & Dog Walk Savvy for your pets. Nothing but the best!

After just ONE WEEK we went for a visit and Winston had already made huge improvements. Corday gave us a small lesson with Winston at that visit and it felt like we were with a different dog (In a good way). All of the concerns I had with Winston have been resolved within the 3 weeks he was with Corday. I cannot thank them enough. Our family has a new sense of freedom having a well behaved dog, and that's all thanks to Corday and the Evergreen school for dogs.

We recently hired Maggie/K9 Crazy when we brought home our 2 (yes-2!) 8 week old puppies. Maggie…read morewas amazing with the puppies and us. With her experience and TLC, she had the pups and us paying attention and following instructions in no time. She identified differences in the pup's personalities and gave us suggestions when working with each puppy. She also took time with each family member working with each puppy. With practicing daily as she recommended our puppies quickly learned all their basic commands. We are always being complimented by people we meet on the street on how well-behaved they both walk on a leash for being such young pups. Thank you Maggie to giving us the tools to help our puppies adjust so easily to becoming well-behaved family members. We highly recommend Maggie for training!

First of all, there are not enough stars to give to this program and Maggie. Maggie deserves 10 stars or more! It is never an easy decision in selecting a trainer, especially someone who will care for your new puppy in her home for 30 days. I am in the Bay Area and the breeder for my puppy was in Arlington Washington. The breeder mentioned Maggie and that she heard great things about her. We thoroughly checked out Maggie and made the decision to utilize her services before we even met our new puppy. Henri went from the breeder to Maggie's arms. This was the best decision my family has ever made. Not only was Maggie professional, but she has such a caring nature the moment you speak to her. She made us feel at ease day 1! We received constant communication, videos and pictures of our sweet Henri and his training progress. Maggie was able to add in her caring touch so that Henri quickly felt comfortable and at home with her. Henri's progress was impressive as seen in the training videos she sent us regularly. Seeing his tail wag and obey her commands melted my heart as I knew Maggie was someone special and we made the best decision in selecting her. Our boy needed some extra medical attention with something he had acquired before being sent to Maggie. She was able to take on this extra task with numerous vet appointments. I was kept informed every step of the way. She cared for Henri with love and compassion as if she was his owner. When it was time to transition Henri to us, she made that step easy for us! If you are in need of someone to care for your puppy/dog, train your furry kid, then look no further. I cannot say enough about the wonderful service we received. Henri is now home with us and showing off his training. He is potty trained, socialized, doesn't jump on guests, minds his manners and is such a love! She has made such an impact on our puppy for the rest of his life. He loves his new home and is a happy healthy puppy!
