My 6 month German shepherd puppy is very timid around strangers (we think his last owners abused him) and other dogs and will whine and almost throw up from fear. Is he still welcome here since it might be harder for him to be with other dogs/people?
Yes! They really understand dogs, and how their brains work, and will help you to not only understand your dog's behavior better, but IF you put in the time and work, will help you strengthen the bond and trust between you and your dog.

Yes! I would highly recommend a behavior consult and they will recommend the best next steps for your pup. We have a fearful dog and they are helpful and caring. But, also expect to do some hard work to teach your pup and yourselves how to communicate and deal with those fears. They will help you do that work, for sure. Good luck!!

This center focuses on the relationship with owner and the dog. Not dog with other dog relationships. They are also very experienced with behavior needs and training to help. :) see what a behavioral consult can help you with :)

Great advice and training for humans.
Great place for doggy day care and training. The staff are super attentive and really do a great job with my nervous, shy dog. They are able to adapt per each dogs personality and their one on one training sessions are awesome.
This place is absolutely incredible. I went here for a foster dog to be behaviorly evaluated and Jane and her crew are incredible. They offer dog recess (daycare) with training or in general puppy classes and interactive activities with your dog. I would not hesitate to recommend to others and my dog V loves going there for the day to play and work :)
Great people
