Pet Boarding Training near Owings Mills

“Tanzi tremendously helped my reactive rescue dog shortly after we got him. Before rescuing him, he never had a stable home and was in and out of shelters for his first 2 years of life. After my husband and I adopted him, he was extremely reactive to trucks, other dogs, wildlife, and overall is an anxious dog. He also would become very worked up when meeting new people and would jump on them. Tanzi not only helped us read his body language and understand his needs, but she also taught us amazing techniques for what to do when he encounters a trigger. She came to our home for each lesson and even met us at a local park to help with his reactivity. He is a bigger dog and I was worried he would be too reactive for training, but Tanzi handled him with ease, kindness, and confidence. I have nothing but amazing things to say about her services and I highly respect her and her advice. Her dedication and love for dogs shines brightly and I will always recommend her to anyone looking for a dog trainer!!!!“

“There is so much I could say here, but what it really comes down to is the fact that Sit Means Sit saved our puppy from being rehomed or worse. We rescued a pit bull puppy, a black one at that, who showcases some fairly severe issues such as extreme biting behavior (in short... aggressiveness). We are very experienced dog owners and had both a rescued pit bull and a rescued chihuahua until they passed of old age, and we've also fostered a variety of different breeds with a variety of different behavioral issues. However, after trying every technique we've ever known, we realized that it just wasn't enough to help this pup. We met with SMS and I have to admit that we were a little iffy on the collar. I had never used or needed one before, but they were literally our last hope before we had to remove or make a serious decision about this pup. It's an investment but they were literally our last hope. That last hope turned in to our saving grace. Kooper responds very well to the collar and its helped him to understand what is expected of him when we give commands. It helps give him focus, and after the first day we really did notice some immediate improvement, which was not at all expected. Their training... this isnt a place they just keep your pup in a kennel all day. They work with them throughout the day, and then they work with you. Yes, you read that right. Their training isnt just about getting a dog to listen, its a also about learning how to communicate effectively with your dog and understand them just as you want them to understand you. I could really write a novel here on all of the ways, big and small, that SMS has helped our pup and us but Im sure Google would think it was written by a novelist. Listen, if you love your dog and you are serious about their training, go see them at SMS. It's an investment, but it works. It saves lives (human and doggo!!). I could show you the bite mark photos as proof. They helped with that, and now we can enjoy our pup and he can enjoy us. Kooper now goes here for daycare and it takes everything in him to follow his manners walking up to the door. He loves it there. To all of the SMS staff, Carmen, Nathan, Abby, and especially to his first love (trainer), Liz B (we are so in debt to you), Beth and Tamar... I will never forget how you've helped us.“

“Our Khloe is 12 and we've been taking her to BBF in Cockeysville her whole life - whenever we go on vacation! We've always been happy with the service, the cleanliness, and the level of care and attention. We highly recommend BBF/Cockeysville!“

“I love this vet. They have been super helpful as a first time pet owner for my dog Yumi and all her health needs!!“

“Quite pleased with the professionalism, care, and patience provided everytime we have to utilize Westview Animal Hospital services.“

“Desperately needed help with my pitbull Zeus. 60lbs of muscle that I needed help with walking. My son is the usual walker, but his new job had me needing to step up. I refused to be turned into a meme with Zeus dragging me around.
After having an initial training session to see how things would be, I quickly purchased the 5 pack training sessions. Molly was our trainer and she was an absolute joy. She was very knowledgeable and relatable. I never felt dumb asking questions and she kept making sure I was understanding the process. I liked how she presented me with options on how the training would go instead of dictating things.
My son and I learned a lot of ways to keep our dogs safe and well mannered while out in public. Zeus was an awesome student. Would definitely recommend. Is it cheap? No, but it was worth every penny. All of the employees I met were nice. Don't spend time in the office--I spent too much money on accessories there. LoL. The hoodie I bought is really nice, perfect for really cold days.
Lastly, the effort you put in is what determines how well things work. Its an everyday practice, reinforcing what we've learned. Zeus has his good and not so good days. But the difference is my confidence in handling the situations. Thanks Molly!“

“I can't say enough good things about the village vet. All the staff members are incredibly kind, educated and patient.“

“Dr Kohlmeyer is the best, he’s in it for all of the right reasons, he takes great care of everyone he serves!“

“I discovered Pet-U-Cation through the rescue I adopted my dog from - she came to me unsocialized with big feelings and a need to express them. With the guidance and support of Savannah and Pet-U-Cation, my dog has made great progress and I have gained confidence in handling her. We have both learned somuch! I’ve utilized many of their offerings, including the Canine Good Citizen course, Sunday Wellness drop-in classes, daycare, and boarding. I know that the Pet-U-Cation team will provide my dog with thoughtful training and care that is tailored to her needs.“

“I just lost my precious dachshund, Rusty. I have to talk of my experience at TLC. Dr. Lucas and I worked together when Rusty was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and later, kidney disease. We walked a tightrope, as Dr. Lucas described it, making medical decisions for both conditions. The heart condition alone usually has a year or less life expectancy. Rusty went on to 1 year and 8 months for me and my baby. In addition, the ladies loved on him sometimes calling him the Rust Man :) I even ended up going to a Vet ER before TLC opened, due to a breathing issue which can occur with the heart condition, and one of these wonderful ladies came and sat with me for several hours when she found out and got off work. I can't begin to describe the wonderful love shown to my boy at TLC. When he passed, there were tears from all, and Dr. Lucas called from his vacation to express his condolences. You will never go wrong bringing your sweet baby to TLC for Pets.“

“Boarded my dogs here recently. I love the process of them coming to you while you sit in your car. You just call the # and they come pick up or drop off your pet. Our drop off was a little chaotic because there was a torrential downpour. The young lady had to run back and forth with forms for us to fill out ( although we had previously filled them online). Then to grab our food ( or they feed your dogs their selection at no additional cost). Then to grab our pets ( husky and a German Shepherd). She handled both dogs well. We'd ask for grooming but that got didn't get put on the file in all the chaos (a little disappointed). Everyone was kind, professional. Other than that, the whole process was smooth. I do love the dogs obstacle courses and pool. I do appreciate that dogs are not kept in cages all day but actually go out and run and swim. My dogs looked happy And taken care of. I would definitely use them again. I believe they give a discount for first time boarders.“

“Beautiful clean place for horse riding lessons. The horses stalls are well kept so are the horses. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place.“
