“Dr. Davies has cared for my dogs for more years than I can count. She’s caring and thorough.
She calls with follow up information and her heart shines always. We feel blessed to have her!“

“My cat is unpleasant to most people but for some reason, she was relatively calm during the entire visit. Every one we met was professional and clearly liked cats (or did a good job of pretending). I would highly recommend Summer Street Cat Clinic.“

“All the personnel are easy to talk to .Prices are good. The vets take the time to listen to any questions you have.Techs care about my animals..I have been going here for several years...and tell everyone I know to go here too !!“

“East Aurora Veterinary Hospital's ownership and staff are kind, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They are an exceptional clinic with a warm, professional team that goes above and beyond.“

“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Tom is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and patient. He worked wonders with our shy, timid, and anxious two-year-old rescue pup, helping her build confidence beyond what we ever imagined. Tom seems to have a solution for almost every behavior challenge, and his approach truly works. Every dog—and every dog parent—would benefit from training with Tom. Highly recommend! ?“

“Excellent care and advice for a first time cat rescue. I appreciate them talking everything over with me and now I've got a healthy, well integrated new kitten!“

“So knowledgeable! They don’t just install your pet fence but they take the time to work with you and your pet. We had some special circumstances with our new rescue dog. They took their time. It was so amazing. I was so so impressed and appreciative! They are very experienced in training your pets, all kinds of temperaments. Thank you so much. I will recommend you to everyone.“

“My GSD took training from Ruff Relations. I love their positive reinforcement for training methods. She also goes to the daycare and loves going. She gets excited when I even mention "doggie daycare".“

“Wanted to get my puppy into somewhere that’s more personalized and I’m so happy for the different style of doggy daycare they offer! Bodhi seems to love it so far and while I don’t live near here it’s well worth the drive! When I drop him off the staff is always SO AMAZING! He seems to have such a good day when he’s there and as a new dog mom it is wonderful to have one day where I can get things done and not worry about him since I know he’s in great hands!“

“We had our French Bulldog (Sullie) boarded here for 9 days. As soon as we dropped him off, our stress of leaving him was gone. This facility is so clean and dog friendly and the owner could not have been more personable and welcoming. We would receive daily messages on how Sullie was doing, followed by several pictures. We highly recommend Pampered Paws for your boarding needs. Thank you!“

“DODT is an amazing place to grow with your dog! The teachers are all so supportive of your learning journey at all stages beginner and expert. My pups and I can’t say enough how wonderful DODT is!“

“Great place. They really take care of the dogs and are very friendly and informative.“

“I want to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation for my mentor, Chuck Bostick. When I look at where I am today in the world of protection dog training—and more importantly, where I’m headed—I’m fully aware that Chuck played a major role in shaping that path. He didn’t just teach me skills; he set me up for long-term, sustainable success.

From the first day I trained under him, Chuck treated me not just as a student but as someone he believed could become great with the right guidance. He didn’t hold back knowledge, didn’t gatekeep, didn’t rush anything. Instead, he broke things down with a level of detail and patience that only someone who truly cares about the craft—and the people learning it—can offer. There’s a difference between someone who can train dogs and someone who can build dog trainers. Chuck does both at an elite level.

He taught me how to think, not just how to follow instructions. He made sure I understood why we do things the way we do, how every action affects the dog’s mind, confidence, drive, and stability. Whether we were working on grip development, drive channeling, obedience under pressure, or the finer points of reading a dog’s mental state, he always emphasized clarity, fairness, and purpose. That foundation alone is something a lot of trainers never get, and it’s something I value every single day.

But what truly separates Chuck is his integrity. He leads by example. His standards are high—not because he wants to make things difficult, but because he wants his students to achieve excellence. He showed me what it takes to produce real protection dogs: the discipline, the consistency, the ability to adapt, and the mindset required to do this work at a professional level. I never felt judged for what I didn’t know; instead, he gave me confidence to keep improving and pushed me to levels I didn’t even know I was capable of reaching.

Chuck also taught me the business side and the responsibility that comes with this industry. It’s not just about making dogs look good in videos. It’s about producing safe, reliable, balanced animals and being the type of trainer people can trust. He showed me the standards of professionalism that separate true trainers from hobbyists. That mentorship is priceless.

When I look ahead at my goals—opening my own protection dog company, producing high-level working dogs, and becoming a respected trainer in this field—I see Chuck’s influence in every part of that vision. He gave me the blueprint, the mindset, and the confidence. You can’t put a price on that. He didn’t just prepare me to train dogs—he prepared me to succeed.

I’m genuinely grateful for everything he’s poured into me. A mentor like Chuck is rare, and the impact he’s had on my life and career is something I’ll always appreciate. I wouldn’t be on the path I’m on today without him.

Thank you, Chuck, for setting me up for ultimate success in protection dogs and for believing in me long before I believed in myself.“

“My wife and I have used sit n stay on two separate occasions for our rescue pup we brought into our family last July. Once for in home/private lessons and once for group classes. In both instances, our sit n stay trainers were GREAT. As first time dog parents, they gave us all the tools we needed to be successful with our pup and the confidence that with time and effort, we could work with her to make in home and real world situations more comfortable for all parties!“

“Everyone that works here is friendly. They are also knowledgeable. The store has been doing events lately, like dog food tastings , feed the fish and adoptions. Since there are no local Pet stores anymore (RIP Markheims),this feels like the closest thing.“
