I scheduled at my convenience, leaving a long period between my 4th and 5th sessions. Ida diagnosed my puppy son with dominance, very rare at that early of an age. I had diagnosed him with asshole, and it seemed I was right. She taught me how to show him I was the boss and get him in line. She also taught him all the important commands and gave me homework to strengthen those commands between lessons. She truly got into my dog's head and turned him into a wonderful companion. He is now 8 months old and my best friend. I still call Ida here and there for other problems I have like housekeeping or barking. She suggested a bell he could ring to tell me when he needs to go out and now he uses it every time. I have suggested several friends use Ida. She is a miracle worker.

We can't speak highly enough of David and how much he helped our family. My boyfriend and I have a…read more2 year old Bluetick Coonhound, Charlie. Starting when he was about 6 months we were having behavioral issues with him in the home. It started with resource guarding and food aggression, and overtime escalated to aggression toward us. We constantly walked on eggshells around him. It even got to the point of when we would come home from a walk Charlie wouldn't let us take his collar off. He would growl, snarl and bare his teeth, and turn on us. We had to use a baby gate as a "shield" to get to our bedroom. We didn't feel safe in our own home and no other trainer was able to help us. I had been bit twice up to this point. We debated rehoming Charlie, had almost lost all hope, broken hearted, and felt like we failed him. Upon reaching out, before we even met David, he reassured us he would be able to help. During our in-person evaluation with David he told us Charlie is a dominant dog and he is at the top of the pack. We needed to train with Charlie to regain our place at the top of the pack. Not only would it strengthen our bond with him but we would feel safe again and regain control of our home. Charlie spent two weeks at Trouwe Hond and came home yesterday. The confidence we have gained with David's training can't be put into words. Charlie is completely different, he is happy again and our family is whole again. We are SO grateful for the time and dedication David gave not only Charlie but us as well. We still have a lot of training ahead but we are so excited to continue learning with our boy.

I cleaned it up with the spray and paper towels that they provide and went along my way. Melissa came up to me a few minutes later and told me my dog is a problem every time I go in there. The last time we were there she told me he had 3 accidents in the store which I don't believe for a second. I ALWAYS pick up after my dog!! She shouldn't be working at a store if she has an issue with pets having accidents considering it's a pet friendly store. Also, she stood by me to make sure I cleaned up the mess which was absolutely ridiculous. She treated me like I was a child. I won't ever come back to this store after this horrible experience today.

I have seen 4 different trainers and Zephyr is by far the best and most effective. He is attentive and honest - no bs. I could not recommend GBDT enough.

There is no better way to describe Lance and his two other trainers as miracle workers. I have a…read more1.5-year-old cattle dog/husky mix who is extremely fear reactive. It was impossible to walk by other dogs without a huge scene or even people without him growling. Baths and nail cutting were out of the question as the local groomer told me to never bring him back, and when I attempted, he would become aggressive towards me. I have always believed in Kevin and thus have been to A LOT of trainers in search of helping him reach his full potential of being a great dog. Away from his fears, Kevin is the sweetest dog. The number of people who told me he was "incurable" and that I would have to simply manage with what I have the rest of my life left me deflated and hopeless. Then I stopped to chat with a woman who was walking her German Shepherd one day and she told me I had to go see Lance. A week later I was sold. Lance has been a blessing. He has achieved more with Kevin in a matter of months than others said Kevin could accomplish in his entire life. While Kevin still has some work to be done, he now can walk by dogs without a scene, LOVES pets from people and even just this week had his first bath and nail cutting without any issues. Kevin's sister is another shining example of Lance's work. She was returned to the rescue by a family who said she was heavily resource-guarding and acting aggressively. My mom adopted her but was worried she was too much to handle. Since working with Lance, Luna is a new dog and easily the best dog my mom has ever owned. It is not just Lance's abilities to train dogs that are so incredible, he is also there for the owners. He understands and allows us to speak our minds and even vent with frustration about the different obstacles we have faced during the training process. He is ALWAYS available to the owners and truly loves what he does and the dogs he works with. I really cannot say enough great things about Lance and his team. If you are struggling with your dog, Lance is the answer. I rarely write reviews but this one was necessary because I empathize with the difficulty of finding great trainers--Lance is beyond great.

I dropped her off at their doggie day care at two o'clock, and they allowed me to pick her up fifteen minutes after closing so I would not have to leave my work early. Tess can be a "worry wart," but she seemed calm and well cared for when I came to get her. The facility is very clean and well kept. Signage from the road is clear & parking is easy. They gave me a little "report card" when I picked her up. It gave me an idea of how Tess' day had been, and was a very nice gesture. The pricing at ADDA is fair and reasonable. I would definitely take Tess back again. I highly recommend A Dog's Day Away!

Read before going there!…read more I had a very disappointing experience at VCA South Shore Animal Hospital, Weymouth MA. My husband brought our cat in on May 27 and waited from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m., yet only one test was performed and no diagnosis, treatment plan, or meaningful care was provided. The next day, I returned and was presented with nearly $5,000 in additional tests. Initially, I was told the ultrasound specialist was unavailable until the following day. After I declined some of the recommended testing, I was suddenly told the specialist was available immediately and the ultrasound could be done right away, which raised concerns about the necessity of the recommendations. Staff repeatedly discussed the possibility of cancer and even chemotherapy for pets (my cat is 11 month old), which put me under significant emotional pressure. I agreed to a biopsy, but afterward I was told to go home and wait for a call that never came. My husband later had difficulty getting our cat discharged, and we did not leave until around 11 p.m. No veterinarian discussed the results or treatment plan with us, no medication was provided that night, and our cat came home in worse condition than when we arrived. The lack of communication, questionable recommendations, and poor patient care made this an extremely stressful and expensive experience. I cannot recommend this hospital based on our experience. AVOID this place.
