Worth noting

Training class incident with smaller puppy being overwhelmed by larger puppy

“The trainer seemed to ignore the needs of my puppy while allowing a much larger and highly amped up puppy to be overly rough with her and make her yelp.”

Difficulty booking last-minute appointments

“You have to book way in advance, as they're super busy and popular! That's my only complaint.... We are busy and usually need help sort of last minute (two weeks or less in advance), and they haven't been able to accommodate us.”
