Karma Dog Training is a MUST for puppy owners! I went through their puppy kindergarten with my…read morelittle beagle (an infamously stubborn, difficult to train breed) and it was absolutely wonderful! It has really established Chloe's basics that I otherwise would have had a very hard time teaching her on my own. In fact, I am planning on continuing training with Karma Dog and enrolling my pup in their basic/intermediate classes. I have to talk about how great the trainers are. They do a stellar job of teaching each week's lesson and will give you individual attention if you and your puppy are struggling with the command. During the puppy socialization time trainers are able to answer questions about how to deal with little antics you are experiencing with your puppy. They are SO knowledgeable about all different breeds and behaviors. It was so comforting to know that there were people that I saw once a week that I could get advice from that was best for my pup AND worked!! Much of the advice you read on the internet on behavioral corrections is very punishment based. Karma is all about positive reinforcement and building a relationship of trust with your dog, which I love. I love that my little Chloe was able to start being socialized at such a young age in a clean, sanitized, safe environment with other puppies her size. They do such a wonderful job of sanitizing and keeping the area clean that I NEVER worried about her contracting anything after I saw the precautions taken. Socialization is so important and Karma does a great job of making sure that the puppies are gaining that skill by allotting a good portion of the session to it while still getting in a great lesson. Not to mention watching a room full of puppies play is just adorable. Karma Dog is also extremely accommodating. They will allow you to make up any missed classes or even re-take a class if you feel like you and your pup need a refresher on that lesson!! You also get access to an online portal of training material that is great! I seriously cannot say enough great things about Karma Dog Training!! I couldn't be more pleased with the results!!

After doing tons of research on the breed, I wanted to make sure I started off on the right foot. I decided to put him into socialization & training right away. I absolutely loved the style of the puppy kinder garden classes. There was a great mix of training and socialization throughout each class. During the puppy socialization parts, I was able to ask the trainers any questions that came up in-between classes. Puppies can be very difficult, and training can be tricky but Karma Dog gave me the peace of mind I needed to know I could do it. With their help, I was able to gain the confidence to teach my puppy the basics: sit, leave it (my favorite), stay, go-to-bed, how to not bite me like a zombie maniac, and a handful of other helpful commands. I will definitely be continuing the rest of the courses they have to offer! One more rid bit of information I think you yelpers would find useful. For almost a month, I believed my puppy was starting to have separation anxiety, crying in his crate NONSTOP. I was horrified. I work full time and didn't know what I could do to fix the sitaution. I called Karma Dog and ended up speaking to the owner Jeff. He was able to calm my nerves and it was an eye-opening and amazing conversation. I love everything about this business and I am happy to know there are places like this that truly care.

This review is an account of my personal experience with Shih Tzu & Furbaby Rescue as well as my…read moreopinion of the establishment. I recently became aware that my personal information was used without my authorization to file fraudulent tax documents for 2024, and those documents listed Shih Tzu & Furbaby Rescue as my employer. To be clear, I am not accusing anyone within the rescue of committing identity theft or tax fraud. I am simply stating that the organization's name appeared in fraudulent paperwork connected to my identity. After discovering this, I made several attempts to contact the rescue to notify them that their organization had been implicated in a serious identity theft and tax fraud issue. I also requested a simple letter confirming that I was never employed by them. In my view, this should have been a straightforward request, especially given the seriousness of the situation. Despite my calls, voicemails, and written outreach, I did not receive a response until after I posted my initial Yelp review, which I removed shortly after being asked to do so. Only then did I receive a phone call from someone who appeared to be connected with the rescue. During that call, I was told I would receive a letter confirming that I had never worked there. More than a week passed, and I still haven't receive the email. While I believe I have gathered enough evidence to show that I'm a victim of identity theft and tax fraud, I was hoping this organization would provide basic confirmation that could aid me in resolving the matter with the appropriate agencies. What disappointed me most is that I took the time to inform the rescue that their organization's name was used in fraudulent filings, giving them an opportunity to address the issue on their end. However, I don't feel that same sense of urgency or courtesy was extended to me. I understand that this is a volunteer organization, but in my opinion, being volunteer run doesn't excuse poor communication when someone is reaching out about identity theft, tax fraud, and the misuse of business information. In my opinion, I find the communication, responsiveness, and support from this organization to be bottom of the barrel poor. This situation left me with serious concerns about how the rescue handles urgent matters, public communication, and requests for assistance. This was a deeply disappointing experience and an example of how not to handle a serious issue involving someone's identity and livelihood.
