A year ago my husband and I adopted an American Staffordshire Terrier. I pride myself in being highly organized so I thought I was well prepared having reads lots about dogs, specifically rescues, and having talked to a lot of dog owners, boy was I wrong. After deciding Fella was the dog for us and while waiting out the period of time till we could actually bring him home I started looking into classes and day cares. Especially for Pets came highly recommended to us by a friend and after the first call to Cori I knew we were in good hands. She answered all of my eight thousand questions with patience and compassion. The first night we brought Fella to class we discovered he was dog aggressive, which Suzanne, the trainer based out of Especially for Pets, later helped as figure out was fear based and very workable. Cori and Jason immediately, upon seeing Fella react poorly towards the other dogs, took control of the situation and offered my husband and I advise on how to handle this and the proper collar to be using to help us control him. Cori and Jason have assisted as in training, food education, learning about collars/leashes and just by genuinely caring about our dog. It‘s not just Cori and Jason that are compassionate and patient but this also extends to the grooming staff, Carla and Kaitlyn, whom Fella absolutely loves. Last, but certainly not least, Suzanne, whom I could never say enough about, has been amazing. When we first got Fella he could not be within twenty feet of another dog without him reacting in some way however since we started working with Suzanne Fella has graduated from Basic Obedience Class, Tricks Class, Behaviour Modification and is now in an Intermediate Class. In addition to all of this he is now able to play with the other dogs at Day Care in a very positive manner and without any negative reaction. All and all my husband and I could never thank Especially for Pets enough for everything they have done for us and Fella!
