I do not recommend Atlas Working K9's! She sent me 2 cease & desist letters & lied about a…read moresettlement when it came to this review. Yelp has now placed a consumer alert on Atlas Working K9 for misusing the legal system. I have video, screenshots, audio recording, & multiple witnesses to validate my review. She also keeps flagging my pictures in hopes to remove my review. Then you have her ex fiancé Mike Milsap & business partners Courtney Odem's husband (who lives in Texas) commenting on here to give her a higher star rating. She also reviewed herself for a higher star rating which was removed. Annabelle is a huge bully & has threatened me 4 times now, made false statements about me, highly unprofessional, & in my opinion not a good dog trainer or person. First, She told me my dog could not be a service dog because of his high drive when she hadn't even worked with him yet. After I already paid $2,875 for board & train! His main goal was to be a service dog not a pet since I don't have a lifestyle that supports a pet dog. Second, I only went to her because it looked like online she did positive reinforcement & she was recommended by the breeder. However, she put a prong collar on my 3 month puppy when I said I wasn't comfortable using a prong since he was so young. A prong collar isn't used in positive reinforcement & shouldn't be used on a puppy under 6 months. She does put prong collars on every dog she works with from what I've seen. I did see an improvement in my puppy with this other trainer after she quit working for Annabelle & no longer had to follow Annabelle's methods. The biggest improvement started when we stopped using the prong collar. Third, no refunds offered at the time she told me my puppy had potential genetic hip dysplasia. She told me if I returned him to the breeder she would just use what was left of my training to train a different dog, not issue a refund. Forth, highly unprofessional & threatened legal action against me 3 times in an attempt to scare me into removing my honest reviews. First threat came when she posted a cryptic post that talked about "stop blaming the dog & the breeder for being at fault & the reason for rehoming a dog". It seemed it was aimed towards me & my dog so I commented & she claimed it wasn't about him (but she had him in her possession at the time of the post). Then she threatened me in private message saying I'd hear from her attorney if I talked bad about her. Second threat was when she SENT ME A CEASE & DESIST LETTER THE DAY SHE POSTED SHE NOW OWNED MY PUPPY & RENAMED HIM! Then in a second social media post over exaggerated everything I said about the puppy as the reasons why I sold him back to the breeder to discredit me & my experience with him!!! Third threat was a 2nd cease & desist letter threatening criminal charges due to my reviews & said I could no longer talk or post about my former puppy Zenyokai (now Apollo)! Not only that but threatening criminal charges against reviews is a very unethical scare tactic to silence me & get me to remove my honest reviews! As well as now owning my puppy & renaming him which seems to be out of spite! Update: She now posted on Facebook & on this review response claiming Zenyokai (apollo) was malnutritioned. (He was not) Then after creating her response on google & slanderous Facebook post, in one of her 20 harassing text messages to me she said I was a great dog mom & cared deeply for zenyokai now apollo. She's using zenyokai (apollo) as a pawn to bash me & the trainer who formerly worked for her. Unfortunately she has google & Yelp flag all my screenshots of proof. So no I do not recommend Atlas Working K9!

We even booked their stay with her several weeks in advance to ensure they had a spot with her. Our pups will be staying with her for 2 whole weeks and she is one of on a very small list of people whom we trust to properly care for our pups in the same way we do. We know they'll get all the love and care they need so we don't have to worry while we're away. We have been working with Annabelle for 2 years now and will continue to do so. Her valuable knowledge and experience create an opportunity for each and every dog to succeed that comes her way. We value her opinion and highly recommend her. We look forward to enrolling in her new play based program in the near future!

We appreciated being able to feel comfortable in a place not only with our puppy, but with other handlers and puppies who all wanted the same thing we did - to know how to set our puppy up for success. The class is super informative and interactive, with weekly homework that helps not only ingrain training behaviors but helps you and your dog communicate, bond, and set goals. The area itself is super spacious so while you are in a class you feel like you're able to get the space you need to focus on yourselves and your dogs. There's also a cute little store where you can get all kinds of things - some things you may not have even thought about that catch your interest! Mallory is a great instructor that we highly recommend. She is there for you and your dogs and wants everyone to succeed. The instruction and encouragement, especially when there are struggles, promotes positive feelings and relaxation for all. You really end up leaving a course or a class feeling accomplished and eager to continue outside of the classroom. One of the best decisions we have made when it comes to our puppy was signing him up for this first class, and we can't wait to sign him up for more and continue to grow with him!

He had never gone before, and I wondered how he would be socializing with other dogs and being away from me. I have had the absolute best experience with Happy Dog Day Camp! My pup is waiting at the door at 6am to go play with his friends! He is tired when he gets home, and I feel very safe leaving him there overnight. (Sometimes, I think that he'd rather be there then at home. lol) The prices are the best in town, and you can drop-off / pick-up any time. You don't have to have a set schedule, which makes a world of difference as far as my own schedule. The owner, John, is always welcoming, excited, and knowledgeable! The girls who work there are also so kind and ready to greet Romer, even at 6:30am in the morning. I highly recommend this place and tell everyone I know about how great it is. If you have a pup/dog and want him to have a fun day, this is the place for you!

My puppy died at this facility! Terrible and heart breaking…read more The second day my puppy was at this facility (Happy Dog Day Camp) on Tudor, she was brought to the local emergency vet dead. Equally appalling and unacceptable is that it took the owner approximately two days to get back to me in regards to what happened. It took 15 days to finally find out what happened to my dog and APD had to get involved. My 5 month old puppy was attacked by another dog, and according to the autopsy, died a traumatic death. There are no cameras at this facility that could have put an end to this tragedy. There are no words that can describe the pain my family and I have gone through. If you love your pets, do not board them here.

I wouldn't have changed classes if the instructor were more professional and not public ally humiliated me. The owner didn't care. Needless to say I wasted my money and will NEVER take classes here again.

I ran back thinking that it was hurt or getting hurt. Turns out it was very agitated and upset. I called and it came running up the hill to me and followed my voice to the opening of the fence where he entered. I brought him to the front yard. Called the number on the tag and found out the dog was being kenneled here while the owner was out of town. The dog apparently dug itself out, ran off across a busy street during rush hour traffic, and was lost for a couple of hours. Come to find out this outfit lost the dog last time it was boarded as the owner gave the company another try, benefit of the doubt sort of thing. The the kennel owner was apologetic and nice, but I find this behaviour seriously lacking in professionalism and accountability. Trusting a company to care for a loved one while gone requires a level of care that goes beyond here's to hoping your pet is here when you get back. I would find another place in town to board or train your pets(ahem* Arctic Tails*). Don't believe me? Google this business and read other reviews posted on another site, it's not pretty.
