I took my dogs here because they were having fear and aggression problems, I went only for the initial evaluation, at which time I was told that I should re-home one of them and that they would probably never be at a point they could be around other dogs or people without being a threat, at one point I was asked to put them in the car because they were being nosiey . I left there $150 poorer and no answers and still aggressive dogs. I am sure that they would be great for dogs who do not have these problems and just need training, but this is not the place for behavior issues. My vet did recommend a great training place and they have begun their journey to being great, happy dogs.

I initially didn't want to write a review because Buddy's Chance has been a little secret gem that not many people know about, but they have taken such great care of us I felt the need to oblige. After trying 2 other trainers we met with Cara to help with our 3yr old male boxer. He is an extremely loving and loyal dog but had a tendency to become very afraid when people came over to our house. That fear would sometimes turn to "false bravado" and although he never attacked anyone he surely acted tough (only to run to our closet and hide if someone called his bluff). He also showed a consistent fear of little children, his natural reaction would be to bark at them so they would "go away". With the arrival of our first baby months away (and the anticipation of a continous flow of visitors) we came to Cara for help. Cara sat with us for over an hour asking detailed questions about him and only after going over those with us and explaining her methods did she ask to be introduced to him. Her suggestions have helped tremendously. Not only have a found a way to set him up for success when guests come over - but he is absolutely wonderful with out 8 month old baby AND not only is he not scared of him, he is his best buddy (or at least attempts to be). As for the doggy day care....I cannot explain how great this has been for him. Not only does he get to play with other dogs, but he is in an environment where he is stimulated (classes are limited) and given breaks and naps. Throw in a friendly and knowledgeable staff and you have the prefect set up for your pet.
