Much wasted time and money sadly. Our "trainer" advised us that the owner/manager "David" decided to change our final session meeting from the park to our home/neighborhood, which would NOT serve our dog or us well for our expressed purpose of this "training" so we declined to waste our time further. We had already wasted the money. It is also important to match the trainer with the best/right experience for specific training needs and sadly, this was obviously not done either. It shouldn't be whose available, but who is the best match! We relied on professionalism in that choice and were let down.

I recently boarded my one year old boxer and older GSP here while out of town for a long weekend…read more My boxer, Chief, has been socialized nonstop since he was 11 weeks old, and is the friendliest and sweetest boy. When I picked him up the owner told me that my dog was the best behaved boxer he'd ever encountered.. and then told me that he hadn't been in a fight, but that he had sustained some scratches on his neck because of a puppy he was playing with. I tried to get a good look at the facility, but my GSP was running circles around me and tangling me up with her leash... and to be honest I didn't expect anything too bad. I've seen my boy wrestle with big pups at the dog park since he was tiny, and he's had a scrape or two but for the most parts dogs seem to know their limits. But after getting Chief home and getting a better look at his wounds, I simply can't believe that they were inflicted by playtime with a puppy. He's been in plenty of very rowdy play-fights at dog parks and has never sustained wounds like that. It kept opening up and bleeding for two days after we brought him home. I can't understand how, if the playtime is supervised as their website states, the aggressive behavior was allowed to go so far before someone intervened. When I dropped off my dogs the three employees there were all watching something on an iPad... apparently that is the norm for their "constant supervision". I emailed them to voice these concerns prior to writing a negative review, as I wanted to give them a chance to defend themselves... zero response. I'm lucky my sweet puppy wasn't more seriously injured, and will certainly not ever trust this facility with my fur babies again. If you have any love for your pets at all you'll take your business elsewhere.

We LOVE good citizen! They are truly the best! We started our family Pitty,Sheba, in Puppy…read moreKindergarten when she was just 8 weeks old. She loved to go to "school" and socialize with her friends! We loved that shot records are required so you know that your tiny pup is in no danger of Parvovirus. We finished puppy one and actually went straight into puppy two. Sheba learned SO much in both classes, she is a joy to be around because of her training. Lou is patient yet firm and knows when to push to pups and when they need a break. Just like the "kids" they are, not everyday is their best learning day and sometimes they need a break. He also uses positive reinforcement training never aggression. Sheba now goes to "daycare" three days a week and it is AMAZING! Not only does she come home exhausted from playing but she has learned how to properly play and socialize with other dogs. We cannot say enough about how amazing good citizen is!!!

When my dog Harper became gun shy I felt so disappointed and knew I needed to seek professional…read morehelp in order to help her succeed in becoming the best hunting companion she could be. I spoke to Pete on the phone and decided to come out and meet him and see his facility. Pete's facility is the most professional set up I have seen. Kennels were clean and the knowledge that Pete has made me feel at ease leaving my girl behind with him. He truly loves what he does and cares for the dogs he takes in. Pete was honest with me in the fact that my dog lacked drive to be a motivated gun dog so I made the decision to bring her home after 1 month. In the 1 month she stayed to train at Goosebusters she was no longer gun shy and also would pick up live birds which I can continue to work with her on. Most importantly, my dog was happy, healthy and in good spirits when I came to see her. I would leave any of my dogs with Pete which says a lot, I am completely obsessed with my dogs and 100% trust Pete with providing them proper care. I am more educated on how to choose the best potential gun dog and will continue to work with him in the future for training any dogs I have. I can't say enough good things about Goosebusters.

We looked at facilities and spoke with many trainers. After speaking with Pete on the phone and…read morethen meeting him in person, we left confident we were done looking. Honest, clean kennels and excellent in what he does. He explains what we need to do to with her in a way that made sense. Pete has Lola where she needs to be and gave us the confidence we can achieve the same results with consistency and the knowledge he has provided. We will use him for all training and all boarding. I have never boarded my dogs anywhere and we have complete confidence in Pete and Jolie. If you are looking for a trainer or a place to kennel, I can not say enough great words about them. (I'm not a big reviewer, but after our experience it was a must.) After a call, I'm sure you will feel the way we did. Thank you guys so much.

We signed up both of our dogs for the beginner class and made a lot of progress in the 8 weeks of classes. The class size is limited to around 10 and that's great as she is able to see what everyone is doing and give some personal attention when needed. She is a very patient instructor and never makes anyone feel badly for asking a question or needing to see a demonstration again. The facility is very nice - open and clean and easy to get to. And she clearly adores all of the dogs. They make her smile and laugh and in turn that makes us all love our pups even more.
