Jon (the owner and dog trainer) is FANTASTIC!…read more My husband and I adopted an adult, 4 1/2 year old rescue/stray named Bolt in January 2021. He's a whopping 8lb. and a Chihuahua/poodle/Yorkie terrier/Maltese mix aka a mutt! He had no training at all. He was definitely a mess. Anyways, we desperately needed some dog training, and I searched all over Albuquerque. Jon was the only person I could find that offered a free consult. I really didn't want to pay to meet a trainer. What if it didn't work out? However, He came to our house for the consult, and Bolt LOVES him. Jon does 3-4 private lessons (sit, place, walking on a leash) and then "promotes" them to dog group class. He's really patient, loves to talk about dogs, and helps to trouble shoot weird dog behaviors. We have been in group class for about a month to 6 weeks. Bolt went from being scared of poop bags and not knowing his own name to being able to sit, place, come when called, and is working on down, off, leave it, and leash walking. Group classes are great, everyone is very supportive and friendly, plus Bolt gets to work on tuning out distractions, as they are held at local parks. Overall, I have been SO happy with Jon and Swagger Dog Training. He's amazing and the service he provides is top notch. If you need a dog trainer, PICK JON.

Katie is well behaved, mostly, and is now a big sister. Hoping to get our 25 pd. labradoodle trained by him. If you've ever researched dog trainers you know that that are many that overcharge, don't return phone calls or texts or do what they say they can do. Jon is a star!

If you're anything like my family, you love your dog! Oh, and yes dogs rule, while cats drool!…read moreSorry, I just had to get that off my chest! Anyway, despite the fact that you love your dog, you can't always bring her with you. Am I right? Especially if your girl is a larger dog (big girls need love too), sometimes it's best to just leave the old girl at home. But there's the catch! Unlike a cat, you just can't leave Spot unattended! Dogs need that human interaction, unlike cats that really don't give a rat's ass about you. So, what do you do? You either find a family friend and impose (how rude), or you find a kennel. We chose the latter! Happy Tails is ran by the nicest dog loving woman you might ever meet. Fret not crazy cat people, she probably has a soft spot for cats too if you're in need. Nevertheless, the rates are fair, you can either bring your own food or she'll feed them hers, and she throws in a nightly treat. In addition, you can bring something personal so your dog isn't too sad. We brought our dog's bed with us as we dropped her off so she'd be a tad more comfortable and not so depressed. If you're in need, Happy Tails has got your six! Give 'em a go, you'll be glad you did. Administrative note: Don't trust GPS to get you there, it's wrong! Take the Carnuel Road exit off the 40 as you're traveling East. Go across old Route 66 and stay to the left. Keep going past Silver Hills LN (even though the address is 1 Silver Hills LN) and it will be on your right. Try to go before it gets dark to alleviate your anxiety. Cheers!

We cannot say enough good things about Megan and the impact she's had on our dog, Padfoot. He's a…read morecoonhound--so if you know, you know: hyper, stubborn, and extremely vocal. When we first came to Megan, we were overwhelmed and frustrated. Padfoot pulled like a freight train on the leash and barked at absolutely everything. Walks were chaos, and quiet moments in the house were few and far between. Megan worked wonders with him. She gave us practical tools and taught us how to better understand and communicate with Padfoot. She never promised an overnight miracle (because that's not how dogs--or people--work), but what she did promise was that if we did the work, we'd see results. And she was absolutely right. Thanks to her guidance, Padfoot's leash manners have drastically improved, and we've seen a huge reduction in his barking. On top of that, he's boarded with Megan, and when he came home, he was the best behaved he's ever been. Calm, happy, focused--like he'd just come back from a doggy bootcamp/spa hybrid. One of the things we love most about Megan is how deeply she cares. She genuinely loves dogs and loves helping people build better relationships with their pets. It's obvious in the way she interacts with them, how patient and encouraging she is, and how invested she is in each dog's progress. She celebrates your wins with you, no matter how small, and makes you feel like you're not alone in the process. Now, I've seen some reviews on here claiming Megan doesn't know what she's doing. That's honestly nonsense. If someone expects their dog to magically behave without doing any of the follow-up work Megan recommends, then of course they won't see lasting results. It's not about outsourcing your dog's behavior--it's about learning to be a consistent, supportive leader for your pup, and Megan gives you the tools to do just that. Padfoot loves her, we love her, and we'd recommend her to anyone who wants to build a better relationship with their dog. Just be ready to do your part--because Megan will absolutely do hers.

Any other time in the last 8 or 9 years, I'd have given an enthusiastic 5 stars. Dr. Bowker is a…read morefabulous vet, caring, knowledgeable and willing to explain things when one has questions. However, the quality of his clerical staff has slidden badly. I've only ever had positive interactions until today when the new, male, clerk/vet tech was obviously already stressed before I called and then was very rude when I attempted to clarify when a vaccination was required. I hope that either this behavior will be corrected or this young man finds employment elsewhere. Otherwise, we'll have to find a different vet's office. And that's not something we want to do. But, there are too many options to tolerate that kind of unprofessional and rude behavior when I'm paying my hard earned money for a service.

I have presented her with several types of animals with issues over the years and she has NEVER left me looking for another vet. What I like the most, though, is her approach to having me, the owner, follow steps to remedy the ailing animal at home and to this point I have had a 100% success with seeing my pets through some real tough times. A great addition to the services she provides at her practice in the East Mountains is that she finds the time to provide excellent and very affordable shot clinics throughout the county.
