    I can't say enough amazing things about Woofbeach and their trainers, especially Taylor. I can't believe how some people can be keyboard warriors behind a screen instead of working out any issue with a person directly. As a real person with a wonderful dog of my own, here is my experience with Woofbeach. I have ALWAYS been clearly explained how training would work at this facility when I first stepped in the door for my evaluation. Taylor reassured me how balance training works and the collars used. I saw immediate improvement after the first day. My dog Harley was such an awful puller on leash and needed some sharpening up on commands. Once he had a session with Taylor and the crew, my dog was actually listening. After our package my 85lb dog can be walked on a simple martingale collar. He can down stay around distractions such as other dogs, people, wild life, etc. I could not be happier with my decision to pursue training here. Now we are on to earn our CGC.

    *NOTE* I wrote a review on their Google account as well. Since I wrote my review, the company is attempting to fix their SEO by making fake accounts post positive reviews. My fiancé and I were very excited to sign our 7-month old dachshund up for training at Woofbeach. Woofbeach was recommended to us, and it showed promising reviews. We had an initial evaluation with Taylor to discuss the training program and expectations. Based on the assessment, we would need to purchase one of their cots to help with training at home, and they would provide their treats for positive reinforcement training. Peter is the sweetest dog. He needed help with potty training and learning healthy boundaries with dogs. He has never undergone any training previously. He comes off shy but can warm up after some friendly petting. When Peter was dropped off, he was very nervous and kept trying to get away from the trainers. Once I noticed he was warming up, I left. A couple of hours later, I received a photo from one of the trainers showing me Peter learned a command. I immediately noticed the collar around his neck. I knew something wasn't right with this as it was never discussed they would be using training collars in sessions with him. Peter's eyes looked frightened too. I went straight to Woofbeach to understand what was going on. When I walked into the location, I saw Peter on one of the cots. Peter hunched his back like he was frightened. Typically, Peter would run straight to me when he saw me (separation anxiety). Instead, he sat frozen on the cot. The trainers took the collar off, and Peter still seemed hesitant. Once he saw me looking at him, he ran straight over. As a dog parent, seeing your dog child scared is the worst feeling in the world. My heart broke for him. Of course, the fear of the collar kept him still and not the training. A 7-month-old puppy with no prior training does not learn to stay within 1 hour. Taylor tried to explain the collar and claimed he spoke to me about it in the evaluation, which was highly false. We would have never signed up if we had known about the collar. It is Woofbeach's prerogative to use this type of training method, and it may work for some families. Still, Woofbeach should explain it to others as not everyone approves. He claimed they are "balanced" trainers and he stated to me before signing up, which is false again. Taylor explained the collar mimicking a dog mom nipping the baby pup's neck to correct behavior. If a dog has ever nipped anyone, it hurts. Based on what Taylor explained, Woofbeach uses pain to correct behavior instead of positive reinforcement. I decided to take my puppy home immediately. I share this story so future families can decide what is best for their fur children. If you support training collars and "balanced" training, Woofbeach is the place for you. However, do not come here if you are a family that does not condone pain within training and strictly wants positive reinforcement. If I had never received the photo of Peter scared with his collar, I might have never known what goes on because the staff never explained it before signing up.

    *NOTE* It seems the company or a single employee "may" be using fake reviews to cover up their negative reviews. Especially one recently as of the date Jan-25-2022. Which is really disappointing if this is how business is conducted. Very fishy since they haven't had a new review in 6 months and just now new reviews are coming out? My fiancé and I have been looking for a place to provide our little 7/8 month old mini-dachshund formal dog training. At first this place seemed like a great place to bring our little pup considering we were told and "informed" on how they conduct their positive reinforcement training here. Sadly, we were disappointed, lied to, and misinformed because the training was quite the opposite and thank goodness we were able to stop the training right from the beginning before this could of caused any potential physical and/or emotional harm to our pup. We love our dogs to the very core, and to see our dog put into a position that may of already caused some emotional stress and/or damage broke our hearts. Ever since we brought him back home he seemed a little off and bothered. Taylor the "lead" dog trainer there informed us that the training would consist of positive reinforcement and treat rewards for conducting good behavior. But when my fiancé dropped in on them after receiving a concerning photo from another employee that works there ensured us he was happy and safe. But from the look of the photo--this was not the case. Instead he looked scared, concerned and almost as if he were stressed out from some sort of situation. If you seen the photo with him wearing the collar it was a spiked collar and it was never explained to us they would use internal spiked collars to inflict pain-training on our little puppy. (He's only 7 mo's and nowhere near aggressive). For one--if this is the type of training they use at Woofbeach then by all means go for it, but if this was explained to us at the beginning then we would of never of signed our little puppy up for this type of training. It's like a parent who approves of spanking vs a parent who doesn't--for some kids they may be okay later on in life but for some--this can leave an emotional scar. It's almost as if Taylor was trying to make a sale due to his late commentary of the business "is seeing a lack of new business". My fiancé went immediately to stop his training due to this breach of trust. When she arrived at the location our puppy seemed really scared and shaky, something that isn't common for our little pup to experience. As soon as Taylor took off the collar it was then that our little pup decided to move towards my fiancé. (Keep in mind this was only the first day--within two hours). Taylor went on to argue with my fiancé saying he did explain this type of training when in reality he never did because we don't condone this type of training. A dog cannot speak nor can they express themselves verbally like humans so of course they're not going to speak out in fear. He also tried telling us the only thing we needed to purchase was the cot that they used for training but then switched and stumbled on his words again saying we would need to purchase more than the cot--in this case a collar we definitely would of never have approved. Essentially WoofBeach broke the trust between my fiancé and I, and in no way would we ever put our dogs in that situation ever again. I should have followed my initial instincts and followed the red flags of leaving our dogs alone with other trainers and people we don't know. But WoofBeach tried to assure us their safety was their number one concern--this was not the case. So if anybody is reading this please take this into consideration before dropping your little fur kids off. If pain training is what you'd like to move towards to then by all means go for it, but for these two fur parents, we cannot and will never accept pain as a tactic of training. So far we are waiting to see what they will do to fulfill this refund. Business etiquette and professionalism is a big deal to us, and now we just wait.

    Stretch graduated with David and Dave's training.  Worth every penny, should of did it sooner.  Thank you so much!

    Are the dogs leashed to cots?

    No they trained to place. They can stand and walk around on the cot but they must stay on there. Go visit and see yourself you will be amazed

The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.

She had plenty of tips and techniques and it was nice having her visit the home for the sessions to see how he is in that environment.

    Ps: This is the only place I trust caring for our furbebe while we're away…read more the humans at Oakbrook Kennel Club are the best and took the best care of me. My pawrents were nervous and their minds were put to ease when they heard how well adjusted I was. The staff at OBKC gave me cuddles when I needed reassurance and played with me one on one so I felt loved. They made sure my meals were just right, which is very important. They treated me like I was not just a dog staying over. I was family. The staff made up for everything and more. Extra attention. Extra kindness. Extra love. I felt safe. I felt seen. I even felt fancy, like I was at my own little country club retreat. They also gave me a bath before pick up as per dad's request. I was clean and fluffy and so happy. By the time my pawrents came to pick me up, I was excited to see them, but I also felt like I was leaving friends behind. That says everything. So from one very well cared for pup, thank you for loving me while my people were away. You made it so much easier for my humans too!

    Wheaton Animal Hospital

    Very disappointing and concerning experience…read more After paying for extensive diagnostics, including lab work with clearly abnormal values, the primary focus of this clinic was repeatedly pushing an expensive prescription diet for a 8 lbs $78 bag of dog kibble, rather than addressing the actual medical findings or symptoms that brought us in. Requests for clarification and discussion of the lab abnormalities were met with defensiveness rather than explanation. Instead of offering a diagnostic plan or symptom management, the clinic defaulted to referral -- despite this being a condition that is routinely evaluated and treated by competent general practitioners. The doctor who called with Bella's lab results (who did not examine my dog in person), demonstrated extremely poor bedside manner during our phone conversation. The interaction felt condescending and non-collaborative. When I questioned the sole focus on diet and expressed concern that something systemic was being missed, the response became dismissive and increasingly defensive. Rather than engaging in a medical discussion, the recommendation was repeatedly pushed without addressing the underlying lab abnormalities. Unfortunately, the doctor that Bella did see in person, I did request for her to call me. This call was also disappointing. Her approach and tone differed significantly from the initial visit, once another doctor's plan had been established, and my concerns were minimized rather than explored. I left with the impression that questioning the initial recommendation was unwelcome, and that meaningful dialogue about next steps was not a priority. I was left feeling gaslit at the end of our conversation. The main issue with this call is that this doctor already knew before calling me, that Bella would not be patient she continues to manage care for. In her eyes Bella is "complex" even with very straightforward findings and clinical symptoms. I have ultimately already sought care elsewhere and was immediately met with thoughtful evaluation, clear communication, and an appropriate diagnostic plan for a Cushing work up, which is indicative of the lab findings from Wheaton Animal Hospital work up this week. This was all able to be done efficiently without confusion -- all at a "general animal hospital", without unnecessary referral to internal medicine. They do not see Bella's case as complex, at all. I left feeling that critical lab findings were minimized, my concerns were not heard, and my dog's comfort was not prioritized. I would not return, and I strongly recommend that pet owners seeking thorough, attentive medical care consider other options.

    I give this clinic all the stars! I live in WI and when it became clear to me that my local vet was…read morenot adept in treating heart worms, I was referred by a friend to Dr. Mallorie Enk and I am so beyond grateful that I found her! I traveled from WI to Wheaton to treat with Dr. Enk and it was well worth the miles. She is absolutely incredible and hands down one of the smartest, most knowledgable and skilled veterinarians I have come across in my 30+ years of being a pet parent. From the first time I consulted with her, her expertise and proficiency in treating heart worms was abundantly clear. She continually exercised patience and understanding and was willing to spend a significant amount of time to advise and guide me, answering every question I had along the way. Throughout the process, I always felt comfortable that Dr. Enk's concern for my dog was genuine and that we were not just another number. She kept me informed throughout the various procedures and even followed up in the days afterward to make sure my dog was recovering well. Dr. Enk truly went above and beyond, it's evident that the field of veterinary medicine is her calling. I would absolutely refer her to everyone who wants top notch care for a pet!
