Note that we aren't including referrals for facilities here because facilities usually offer a variety of services performed by a variety of individuals. Those services often vary in quality from person to person and even from service to service. Partially for that reason, we feel it's best to offer individualized recommendations for specific facilities based on each individual pet's learning history and needs. Note that pet services in general aren't well regulated and there are unfortunately, many unsafe environments (often due to lack of expertise and training rather than purposeful abuse or neglect). It's a buyer beware market so please be careful and research thoroughly before using pet services.
