The class is very well laid out and what she teaches each class is very well received and demonstrated to make sure we understand how to reinforce and apply as we train our puppies and practice each week before the next class. A great side benefit that really helped our beagle was the socialization/playtime with other dogs at the end of each class! Our puppy, Cash, we could tell gained a lot of confidence and looked forward to class time each week! THANK YOU MELINDA THE CLASS WAS PAWSOME!

Kass Kennels & Training did exceptional work training our new cavapoo Max. We are fortunate that…read moreCOVID affected our family in a positive manner with the unexpected addition of Max. I grew up with dogs, but my wife and daughter barely knew bones from barks. Max was actually a really good puppy, but our efforts to train him were unsuccessful despite the review of several online resources. So we of course looked online only to have a difficult time figuring out who was going to be a good fit for training Max. A lot of websites had photos of larger dogs like german shepherds. Max had nearly topped out at 16 lbs and looks like a stick with ears when wet. He is shy around other dogs, and we worried about putting him in a school with other larger dogs. Then we found Kass Kennels & Training. Kass had loads of testimonials with lots of different dogs. They also had a video on their Instagram showing dogs learning to "place" and avoid distraction with the aid of chickens (NW Arkansas has lots of chickens - thank you Don Tyson). The pooch in training would reach the stage where they could sit in the middle of a chicken pen and ignore all the clucking, hunting, and pecking going on. Rocky Balboa used chickens while training to beat Apollo Creed, so Kass had to be awesome. We enrolled Max in a 14-day course. He stayed at the training camp, but during his time there, we were updated with emails and videos of his progress, which we could see was transformative. When we finally got Max back, Spencer and staff gave us some training equipment, a K&H cooling cot, and a set of instructions for ongoing training. Max was of course happy to see us and actually excited to show us his new ability to follow commands and walk next to us without a leash. Max will "place" and hold his position until released if we need him to be out of the way in certain situations, like when a delivery man or trick or treaters are at the door. One of my favorite things is that Kass also boards the dogs it has trained. We have used this service, and while he is there, Max receives a training booster because he participates in the training program with the other new dogs. We have referred others to Kass, and they have all thanked us for the great recommendation. Our family is lucky to have found Kass Kennels & Training for our wonderful cavapoo Max, and we recommend it for anyone looking for a school and possible future kennel for their furry family member. #yelpnwa

Huge shout out to Spencer and team at Kass Kennels. We sent our 1 year old Golden Retriever Gracie…read morefor the 2 week board and train. We traded some messages with Spencer during training, and I was hoping for an emphasis on off leash recall, stay, and heel so that we could spend more time on the bike trails around Bentonville. Spencer let us know that he'd like to keep Gracie a few extra days to cement some of the behaviors we'd requested... the program is not a cookie cutter and is tied to dog's progress. So after 17 days Spencer brought Gracie to the house and made sure the handover/transition back to us went perfect. As to the results... we couldn't have asked for any more.... Gracie is focused on the task at hand. It's been about ten days and we have been reinforcing the training every day. Today I was able to walk Gracie off leash around the Bentonville square and down the Razorback Greenway. She was not distracted by bikes, walkers, other dogs, or even the squirrel that ran across the path in front of us. It was unbelievable. Thanks Spencer!

I went in there today after my foster attacked my dog. Once I arrived the man at the front was nice…read moreand helpful I waited patiently with both dogs (safely separated) for about 30 mins. All good I understand and would've waited forever for my baby. Then a nurse came out pet the foster dog who had a cut on her lip and didn't touch my dog who had a puncture wound near her neck. Instead I offered her a picture when I realized she wasn't even going to check my dog at all. She said it didn't look that serious and we can either wait 5-6 hours or go to Bentonville animal urgent care. We got in the car and began driving. On the way the org my foster was through called me and said they couldn't cover the price of urgent care. Once again I understand but my dog has still not even been actually looked at and no one seems to want to help me. At this point I just need to know if she's going to be okay. I asked the org if there was anything else to do. They said they'd get back to me. Then when we stopped so I could reach out to some of my personal connections I received a text from the org. "Springdale emergency clinic said they evaluated your dog and "the cut" was not very deep so they think she will be okay." EVALUATED???? WHEN? I was with my baby the entire time there was no "evaluation" she didn't even see the "cut" other than a blurry picture I had to offer her. Anyways my connection helps me clean her up as best she could so I can take her in to get STITCHES for her PUNCTURE WOUND tomorrow. This place is lazy. I understand they are exhausted and have other patients to see but sending a nurse out who doesn't even touch the dog. THATS ABSURD. They should've just let me wait to get back there I would've done that happily. This place is a joke. Needs more caring and loving staff.
