Our dog always comes out with a big smile form having a great day of play! We get a little daily report card, and it’s just great. It does fill up so make your Playcare reservations in advance

This is going to be a bit of a "stan" review. Recently, my dog Tucker, collapsed at boarding while I was out of town. For understanding this happened just after a major winter storm that shut down everything. Because of the quick action of the staff and owner, Tucker was immediately taken to the emergency room and rushed into surgery that afternoon. Without fur-get-me-not, Tucker wouldn't be sitting at my feet recovering now. I can't say enough good about this company, it's team and how they have provided excellent care for my two dogs over the past two years. These folks know my dogs, their personalities and their needs. Would give 10 stars if I could.

I highly recommend Fur-Get Me not training services. I have a dog who is HIGHLY reactive and have been in similar situations to others who have left reviews as well. The trainer that I worked with has been nothing but gracious and understanding giving me concrete tools and ideas on how to help my dog become less reactive. I appreciate the suggestions and training I am getting, along with my dog! If you want good ethical training for your dog, I would say, look no further! I'm looking forward to continuing working with Fur-Get Me not trainers to learn more to help my dog.

TLDR: NOT EFFECTIVE training for some aggressive or reactive dogs. If you don't know, this is a positive-only training company as opposed to balanced training where you introduce both positive rewards and negative consequences. While this place was great for our one dog who needed more confidence, it was a DISASTER for our other dog who was reactive. Our 2-year old chihuahua was reacting on walks to other dogs, people, strollers, ect by barking and lunging. He was also reactive in the house, growling at me if he got scared. We spent 8-months in a 1-1 aggressive training course and his behavior only got WORSE. We were advised to accommodate his bad behaviors, distracting him with reward. We felt hopeless. Our trainer asked us to consider anxiety medication and told us about re-homing options. Finally, we decided to try balanced training with a different company. We used Ridgeside K-9 but I'm sure there are others. They introduced an e-colar for negative consequences in addition to positive rewards. Fur-Get-Me-Not is against these methods and our trainer actually warned us not to do this. But it was the BEST decision we ever made. We are about 3 months in and he SO much less reactive. He knows how to manage his emotions he is now super relaxed on walks, staying right by our side when dogs or people pass by. He even heels on walks now! But also, he is sooooo much happier. His anxiety is actually significantly lower!! He is friendly and calm when meeting people. We can even bring him to outdoor patios now. He is so much happier, and so are we!

Puppies should have at least one visit with your local vet for a clear bill of health before attending puppy classes. Usually that's about 9-10 weeks. We can also work with you and your puppy one-on-one in private sessions if you prefer that over group classes. Puppy training and socialization is so important and the sooner you can get started the better. Dogs must be 12 weeks old and go through an evaluation process before being admitted into Fur-Get Me Not dog daycare.

How old must you be to work here?
