“Kim is absolutely amazing! She has taken dogs most people have given up on and turned them into obedient well-trained loving family members. Kim your a gem in the dog training world!“

“Our dog loves it there. The staff are pet ppl and are professional and engaging. Care and grooming are perfect for our high energy Dutch Shepard. Woof.“

“This team is fabulous and I don’t know what else I would have done regarding my dog Kya. Jeremy saved my sanity. The whole team is fantastic.“

“We love this location! We came into town or a weekend and needed a place for our dog, Paloma, and the reviews here swayed us. The staff is extremely friendly and they know exactly what they're doing. They love and care for all of the dogs staying there as if they're their own. The staff is extremely attentive and they make sure the facility is safe and clean. Next time Paloma makes the trip to phx, she'll be staying here!“

“We hired Sara to help with our three older dogs who were having behavioral issues. We're about halfway through our 6-month training program and seeing great results so far! Admittedly, a lot of dog training is human training, so the learning burden is really on the dog parents, but I do believe my pups have gained quite a few skills over the past few months! Sara is patient, kind, talented, and incredibly knowledgable. After searching for top rated trainers in the area and interviewing a couple, we decided to go with Sara at Smiles Dog Training for a few reasons: she offers science-based training, utilizes non-fear tactics, and employs a hybrid online and in-person teaching method that worked well for our schedule. Most other top trainers seem to employ fear-based tactics for training, and shock collars are prominent elsewhere. Sara does not believe in these negative reinforcement strategies, and this is the main reason we chose her! Results are achievable without them, and everyone is happier with positive reinforcement! The online written and video material in the training program is high caliber. It's accessible on a computer or smart phone/tablet, and is paired with weekly zoom coaching calls to review, answer questions, work through emergent scenarios, and practice hands-on skills. The 6-month training program offers a handful of in-person lessons as well, to further broaden and strengthen everyone's skills. Zoom lessons are a great way to get started, but the real-life training is super helpful as well! 5/5 stars for Smiles Dog Training! Very professional, results-driven, high quality training program. I high recommend Sara and her dog training business for anyone looking to strengthen their bond with their dogs and build out skillsets to manage stress, distractions, and better behavior!“

“We've had several dogs in the past, and various trainers. Nothing ever worked very well, and our dogs were always treat-demanding, poorly behaved, barking in the house, and difficult to walk due to leash-pulling/jumping/barking at other dogs. We had the same problem with our new dog Ollie, our beautiful standard red poodle. After failing several other trainers and various classes, we were referred to Jimi Livshitz of Your Dog Guru. After Jimi trained Ollie at his training facility, he brought Ollie back to us, then Jimi came to our house daily for a number of weeks to train us to be able to not only use all the commands, but to also teach us how to protect Ollie from danger, particularly from poorly controlled dogs. The results of his training are nothing short of a miracle! We are extremely happy! Compared to our pre-Jimi-trained anxious dog who incessantly barked, jumped on guests, ran all over the house, pulled on the leash and so forth (creating lots of misery for us), our post-training Ollie is a happy, loving, self-controlled, obedient dog! Amazingly, all the anxiety and nuisance behaviors are gone! He follows all commands happily, is under control and not distracted, walks off-leash next to our left leg, and plays and lounges with us in the front yard without need for a leash. He follows multiple commands without any problems including properly entering and exiting doors to and from the outside, heel, come, go to kennel, go to cot, place, sit, down, get up on the mailbox or wall, and get in and out of the pool. Ollie is now very happy, loves to play with us, runs on the treadmill unaided for 20 minutes twice a day for additional exercise (which he loves to do and looks forward to) and he does all this readily and without hesitation or needing to repeat commands. The word NO is never required or used now. All he wants is love and praise, and no treats are ever needed. We couldn't be happier. Jimi's training has facilitated an obedient, happy, healthy, and loving partnership for Ollie and us, literally transforming our lives. We feel sorry for all the poorly trained anxious dogs and owners out there. Jimi is a very strong advocate for dogs, and he will not allow punishment, leash neck-yanking, or choke chains to be used. Jimi gets our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation!“

“Mariano helped so much with our very nervous dog. I would highly recommend them to anyone!“

“Wow. Impressed with Dianne from the moment she sat down to evaluate my dog and me. She is knowledgeable, professional, and really good at what she does! I felt heard and her expertise shines. I recommend her without hesitation.“

“Trust is the #1 thing I look for when using walkers, day care, or boarding. Michelle is running a fantastic business. She is responsive and accommodating. We were coming from out of town and she was flexible so easy with drop off/pick up times.She sent updates, provides treats/toys and has created a lovely indoor/outdoor home environment where you can rest assured your dog is safe and loved on.I would 100% trust/recommend her for all your dog boarding needs.“

“My pup loves it here! Feels good knowing I can leave her somewhere fun for the long days at work.“

“It was such a peaceful experience with the cute little fur babies!!! Wish I could have had all the cats to myself lol!“

“We had alot of fun during class. I liked that we (hoomans) were given instructions on how to better give instructions to our pup.“

“Phenomenal staff…everyone is so unbelievably kind and loving. We typically see Dr. Schneider and she goes above and beyond to care for my dog, as if he was her own. All other vets and vet techs I’ve interacted with have been empathetic, friendly and caring. I am so grateful that this office is just down the road from me but would continue to travel to this location if I ever moved. Would recommend to anyone in the valley needing a new vet.“

“Bow wow wow wow wow. Woof Woof. Woof Woof Woof. Meow. Purr. Our last Boarding kennel stopped boarding pets. In my equation of distance and price Alta Vista popped up. AL has had three or four stays here. Sweet D likes him bathed. He likes hanging with the Pups. He qualified to play nice. I went from minimal boarding $ outlay to the more features. Walks, Pup Scouts, exit bath, nail trim. Food is quality, appropriate rations. Snacks are in the mix. Alta Vista Veterinary is across the street. I find everyone in the Alta Vista Universe caring, concerned animal caregivers. Commuication to me in my travels is timely when necessary. Setting up stays and visits is easy. I try to be practical and reasonable. I find Alta Vista checks those boxes for me.“

“Dr Jenifer is awesome but now at Palo Verde animal hospital, 12th and Northern. She merged with them and closed Orangewood.“

“My concerns for my cats were growing and their previous vet did not give me satisfying answers to my questions. Diana and Dr Show were attentive, thorough and kind to my cats. I think these little guys will get the attention they need here.“

“Liked that I could schedule my pets appointment online. It was sooner than most places in my area for an appointment and the veterinarian did not try to up-sale me for several hundred dollars! She suggested things I could try at home or could purchase locally without a Rx- absolutely loved this! I will be going back.“

“We take our dogs to Christown Animal Hospital since they were puppy's we trust our Veterinarian Dr Sandhu and all his employees Evelyn talked to me when I asked her questions about my dog they are very caring people I do recommend there services to my friends and family and our pastor started taking his dog for his dogs shots they are very low priced and I will keep going to them great job ? keep up the good work ?“
