Kaybee's K9 Training & Spa

Please do not take your dog here. I signed my dog up for classes here and pulled him out after week three. What is marketed as a positive reinforcement class is anything but. I witnessed several dogs who were punished during class, dogs that she labeled aggressive or breeds that she thought could take it. Classes felt largely unprepared and I felt as though we wasted a lot of time. Instructors/aids did not adequately help instruct students or work one on one/provide feedback. I would save your money and take it somewhere that actually backs the message they say. ** update — As Kaybee’s has now replied, I would like to clarify that I did eventually take classes at Petsmart. I had a very positive experience, and we had several dogs in my class that were reactive (growling, snapping, excessive jumping, over heightened excitement behaviors, etc). Their reactivity was managed in ways tailored to each dog. Dogs were given space and were not punished for any reactive behavior. I feel that those dogs and their handlers saw great growth in that class. While most dogs respond well to leadership, clear communication, and assertive handling, I do not believe it to be true that certain breeds (GSDs, bully breeds, dobermans, etc.) need to receive overtly harsh and harmful treatment to respond well to handling. Forming a bond with your dog will do more for your relationship and handling than that kind of “training” ever will.

I have taken my dog to Kaybees for almost 2 years now. First for basic obedience and now for daycare. The facility regularly updates and keeps owner's informed on their dogs day activities through their website/facebook page. Mine had issues with calming down as a young, very energetic lab. I have noticed the difference it has made to him. He's always happy when I drop him off in the morning and exhausted when I pick him up.
