Her techniques work and my dog loves her! I use Hillary to walk my dog 5 times a week while I am at work. She is very trustworthy and I did not hesitate for a second giving her my key. Her prices are beyond reasonable and definitely better than anything else you will find in the Marina but she does not sacrifice quality at all. I have also used Hillary to overnight pet and house sit my dog while I went out of town on two occasions. Her prices were amazing, I came home to a happy dog and a house that was cleaner than I left it. Hillary is a calm and positive person and is excellent with every dog I have seen her with. Highly recommend her for whatever your pet needs are.

My little guy is a sweetie until someone other than I tries to take him for a walk. Not only did he walk easily with Hillary, but she also trained another dog walker I had who was having trouble walking him. He is a changed boy since working with her. And I am so relieved to know that he will always be taken care of. She has a key to my house and I trust her implicitly. She really does love pets. And my pet really LOVES Hillary. I highly recommend her.

What can I say, except that Mark is a modern-day dog whisperer! Within the first five minutes of…read moremeeting him, I knew he was the right person to train my Frenchie, Chance. Mark's genuine love for dogs and calm confidence immediately stood out--and Chance felt it too. Chance's breed is notoriously stubborn, but he met his match with Mark. Thanks to his training, Chance now comes when called, sits, waits patiently, and won't even cross the street unless given the command. He won't touch his food--no matter how tempting--until you say it's okay. And my absolute favorite? When you say "crate," he walks right in, no questions asked. Mark doesn't just train your dog--he transforms your relationship with them. I can't recommend him highly enough.

DO NOT SHOP HERE! I…read morehad a very concerning experience at this store Sunday morning. As soon as I walked in, I noticed that one of the employees smelled strongly of alcohol and had a bit of an attitude and slurring . It was immediately noticeable and made me uncomfortable throughout my visit. I would ask her for help and would be completely dismissed. Customers should be able to expect a safe and professional environment, and this did not reflect those standards. The general manager is also questionable. On many visits.. He has shown no knowledge of product and when I asked him what he does when his dog has an upset stomach.. he said he pushes on their stomach to get rid of the gas and that's what I should do too. He gets VERY defensive if you question anything he tells you. He's been rude close to closing and will make you feel rushed while mopping an hour before closing. He's gone as far as asking me to "please hurry up. I want to go home" I've met him before at another store and he was equally unpleasant. I hope upper management addresses this issue since these are the welcoming faces as you enter the store. I'm not sure why Healthy Spot would even remotely want people like this working here. Especially seeing the downfall of this company. You would expect them to have employees that would make you want to come back.. not go to another pet store.

This place doesn't respect your business. I arrived at 7:02 pm and there was still customers in…read morethere and I was trying to just purchased a bag of dog food. This was nothing more than a one item transaction and shared that with the person who was speaking through the crack door. They did not remotely cooperate with me to allow me to get food for my pet. The associate said that there is no cash in the register and I wasn't trying to make a cash transaction. I get wanting to leave after a long day of work and I take accountability for arriving at 7'02. With a customer at the door who simply wants to purchase just one thing and not use a cash transaction, you should at least try to accommodate them. Do not recommend.

After I suddenly and tragically lost my other dog last month, my 7-year-old Husky Kiki really…read morestruggled with grief and separation anxiety. The stress became so intense that she even developed stress colitis after a routine grooming visit she had handled many times before. Nathalie at Les Pawtounes Dog Training was incredibly thoughtful and supportive through all of it. She didn't treat Kiki like a "problem dog" or use a one-size-fits-all approach. She really understood that Kiki was grieving, looked at what was driving the behavior, and gave me a clear, well-rounded plan to help her feel safe, calm, and more resilient. Everything was explained in a way that made sense, and I left feeling like I had real tools to help my dog. I'm so grateful for her compassion, knowledge, and care. If your dog is struggling with anxiety, behavior changes, or stress after a major life change, I highly recommend Nathalie.

I went back and forth on posting this since it happened a couple years ago, but figured it's still…read moreworth putting out there for anyone looking into Karma Dog Training. We enrolled Poppy, our 4 month old puppy at the time, in their 10-day reverse board-and-train program. I wasn't expecting her to come out perfectly trained in 10 days, but I did expect the level of intensive training they advertised on their site. The trainer we got was sweet and had a calm energy, which I liked since Poppy was skittish around new people. But the actual training didn't come close to matching what was promised. We have security cameras at home, so I could see exactly what was happening while we were gone. Most days were only 5-10 minutes of actual training. The rest of the time the trainer was watching TV or on her phone. If we'd wanted someone to watch TV with our puppy, we could've asked a neighbor for free. By the end of it, Poppy knew "sit" and "down" and not much else. The separation anxiety and potty training work we'd specifically talked about before signing up hadn't really progressed. I want to be clear, my problem wasn't that she wasn't fully trained in 10 days. It's that we paid for a specific service and didn't get it. I emailed the owner, Jeff, sent him the video clips, and asked for a partial refund. He wouldn't address any of it directly, just offered services that were already included in our package and turned down the refund. Then he was rude to my husband on the phone, which threw me because my husband is about as easygoing as they come and almost never gets worked up over anything. I also found it concerning that the exit document I was given included a clause saying clients agreed not to post negative reviews. I never signed it, but seeing that made me question how much honest customer feedback actually makes it online. Super shady. We ended up going with a different trainer afterward, and Poppy turned out exactly how we'd expected her to after actual, consistent training. Maybe we just got unlucky with the trainer. I can only go off our own experience, but between the training we actually received and how they handled it afterward, I wouldn't recommend them.

I love how she does not shy away from my dogs just because of what breed they are. Instead she steps up and shows the rest of the class how wonderful they can be by using them as examples. I felt so confident in my abilities as a leader for my dog afterwards and learned the skills I needed to keep his attention. I have recently signed up for more classes with Lynn with my newer dog who can benefit greatly from what Lynn has to teach us. I recommend Lynn to anyone from the novice to experienced dog owner.
