Life is dog, Inc

We brought our 4 month old hound/lab puppy to Life is dog and had a pretty terrible experience. We were new dog owners and had never raised a puppy so we were really relying on our trainer for helpful information. The staff told us our puppy was aggressive and removed us from the group sessions to have 1:1 meetings with an older adult dog. He did amazing at these sessions because he is not aggressive, he was simply excited. Still, we were only allowed to go to 1:1 sessions with a single adult dog rather than the group puppy classes where he could be properly socialized. When we were finally able to return to the puppy classes, we were told that the entire group would not be able to participate in play because our pup was present and the trainer asked us if we had spoken to our vet about medicating our puppy due to his behavioral issues. We were incredibly shocked by this but we brought it up to our vet just in case. She told us there was absolutely zero reason to medicate our puppy and he was one of the sweetest pup she sees. We decided to leave Life is dog as we could not work with trainers who had pegged our pup as an issue and wanted to medicate him for no medical reason rather than help us train him. He has since THRIVED with another trainer and we continuously receive compliments from other dog owners, groomers, neighbors about how well behaved he is. I would recommend looking elsewhere.

I can’t thank the team at Life is dog enough for giving Sebastian and I all the tools to help him be the absolute best dog on the planet! They have an excellent training program with multiple class times, small group training class along with a variety of times available. Everyone in my neighborhood can’t believe he’s the same dog. Calmer, under control, reserved but still very playful and mischievous. I also use their dog walking services. They are trustworthy, reliable, loving and caring. Most of all, Sebastian loves the Life is Dog employees and the is what is most important to me!
