Pet Athletic Club, Cincinnati OH

Pet Athletic Club is amazing!   I have boarded my Australian Shephard, Josie, multiple times.   Scott and the staff were patient with her and made me feel at ease knowing she was safe and being cared for.
The dedication that is shown by everyone goes above and beyond any other place I have experienced.   The facility is impeccably clean and organized, the scheduling was easy, and the staff was especially friendly.    I would recommend PAC to anyone without hesitation.

Pet Athletic Club has been amazing for my pup for daycare. Every single person there is so sweet and kind to her! I love watching the pet cams too:)

We loved bringing our puppy to training here. He learned SO much! And, while it did take him some extra time it was easier on us knowing he was well loved and cared for during his time when he was there.

Scott and the PAC Staff have been invaluable to my pup and I. Love the Board and Train program and the daycare services?

I enrolled my dog Max, a five year old Shepherd mix, for the boarding training class. Since taking the class Max is great on walks and his overall confidence improved. Scott really did great job.

My name is Adam Bleile. I am telling you who I am as I stand behind what I write and will not hide behind anonymity. I took my dog to Scott/PAC for obedience and protection training. I did not do day care. My dog was just under a year old German Shepard. He is not only my pet, but my family member. I spent several thousand dollars ($4K+) for my dog training and it was supposed to include additional training for a year after I picked him back up. I decided to walk away from the additional training and the money I paid as things went from bad to worse. All that was going to happen was more frustration and I decided it best to seek training elsewhere, and I did this.

The problem is the communication. Scott always wants to talk and does not listen. When I did not understand, I would try to explain what I did not understand. Instead of addressing my concern he would correct my terminology. I did not like debating semantics. I am not a dog trainer. I just wanted an obedient confident dog who would watch over my family. My request is that simple. You can call that whatever term you want. Scott did train my dog. My dog got it and was good at it. I did notice one issue which arose after I left him with Scott for training. My dog would occasionally get agitated in his crate when a friend of mine came over. I do not know what occurred which suddenly caused my dog, who loved his cage (his place of zen to lay down without being messed with) to get agitated at times when in his cage. Something weird happened and I do not know what but I do not like it. Back to my main concern. There are two parts to dog training: training the dog and training the owner. Yes, he trained the dog. He was terrible at training me. I will accept some or even all of this responsibility. Maybe I am untrainable. I decided to change gears and have my mother try it as she loves my dog. We went in for an hour training. For the first 45 minutes my mom did not even handle the dog. Scott was talking down to her, asking her almost quiz like "gotcha" questions. He went back to debating semantics again. Then, she walked my dog in two circles and the hour was up. We walked back to the parking lot and she told me she was not going back. It broke my heart.

I can go on and on about the problems, but you get the point. I simply wasted a large amount of money and time. On the bright side the new trainer has turned my dog into a rockstar and I fully understand how to get my dog to perform as I want. I even have videos of him and I doing the protection work. Good luck to anyone trying to mug me or my family now. Maybe I was just untrainable to Scott. My dog and I are bonded stronger than ever over this. This training occurred in just over a week versus several months with PAC. I get the impression my dog spent a lot of time in the crate versus being trained at PAC as my dog was not on their video cameras much. However, I could be wrong. I apologize for being wordy. I wanted the full picture to be known.

I did give them a second star because I took my dog to get groomed and they did well with him. I think PAC would be a good place to board, groom and socialize dogs together. I am severing all ties with them as a large amount of money and time went largely out the door. My only happiness is my dog is now doing everything I want in just over a week.adam

HAS ANYONE WATCHED THEIR DOGS ON THE WEBCAM! I would never let them take care of my dogs! We were looking for a new place but not just no but hell no! So sad for these babies

Scott is an amazing trainer who helped my dog with severe social anxiety and separation anxiety. He's given us both a new start on how to work with each other and communicate. My dog came back with a new found confidence and loving personality. Thank you Scott for the wonderful hard work you put on my boy.
