Also dog trainer and an artist with drawings of her dogs. She did drawings of sparrow and they are priceless. So happy we have met in her.

Theresa Horn: Positive:Responsiveness,ValueI have a nervous dog and I very much appreciate the extra care that Allie gave my boy. A trip to the groomer is usually a stressful experience and she worked hard to make him feel relaxed and comfortable.

Natalie Turner: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,Responsiveness,ValueI have one very nervous dog and one oversized goofball. Allie is incredible with both of them. They have no anxiety when they are being goomed. (That in turn helps with my anxiety.) I trust Allie with my dogs and that speaks volumes. I could not recommend her more!

Sonya Hughes: I have known Allie for many years both professionally and socially. I have watched first hand as she trained, bathed, totally cared for many dogs at once, ALL very important to their families. These were from 10 week old puppies for weekly Puppy training to Guard Dogs, some Trained for law enforcement, drug search, people (search & rescue) search, and her 24/7 love for dogs.She bathed 100 pound dogs, picked them up into the tub and bathed them without any fear at all. They love her too.Know, if your animal is in Allie’s care, they are safe in good hands.

Donnie Edwards: Stayyy is an exceptional dog training facility. They provided me with personalized training sessions that were tailored to my dog's needs, and their trainers were friendly and professional.

CAREN ABBOTT: Aaron has been training our dog for several months now, and we are very pleased. We have seen our dog make great progress with Stayyy, and I can’t say enough good things about his training. We are very impressed and have recommended this service to several friends.

Megan Becker: Had a great experience with Trainer Aaron at Stay! I was at Witts end with 1 year old puppy Yorkie and his potty training and obedience. A friend referred us to Aaron and we couldn't be happier! We sent him off for about 4 weeks and he came back a whole new dog. It has made my life so much easier but also my kids. Our dog, Lilo, was also constantly stealing my two year olds food and climbing on the coffee table! Not anymore! Now he is obedient, listens to my commands, and is also allowed to roam my unfenced yard freely without running away. Aaron is very knowledgable, communicative and flexible, throughout the whole process. He sent us pictures for updates and although we missed Lilo for that duration of four weeks, it was all well worth it in the long run! If you are looking for any type of dog training I highly recommend Stayyy!

Ken Aschoff: The team at Stayyy has been the absolute best! They’re incredibly knowledgeable, responsive to requests, and are really helpful to establish masterful routines to work with and from. A+++ totally recommended if you’re having any behavioral puppy issues.

Heidi Payton: Helpful!

Jennifer D.: Annie helped us through a very tough time with our older dog. She was so gracious and kind. Her dedication to helping the pets (and the people who love them) is evident in every interaction.

Chef Emilia: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,Responsiveness,Value

julie harris: Annie spent an evening with my family and my Goldendoodle, CJ. She had so many wonderful tips on puppy training, obedience, behavior and more! Her passion shines! She is very dedicated in helping with your pet and gives you a direction to follow for training puppy manners. Annie's background and experience is very obvious. She is very professional and follows up quite often. The tips that we all learned is definitely work in progress!! However, CJ is moving along in the right direction and we are using lots of Annie's advice. I would highly recommend Annie to any pet lover!!! She is vet recommended and truly has years of experience. Love my Goldendoodle!! Thank you Annie for spending time with all of us!!

Ashley Slaughter: I have been working with Annie for several months. I have a 3 year old German Shepherd that had anxiety and issues with other dogs. After a few training sessions with Annie it was like I had a completely different dog! It was a lot of hard work but Annie was there for me every step of the way! I can’t count the number of times I’ve called her thinking I was stuck and she was able to talk me through what I was doing. Since then I’ve adopted another dog from the shelter and she’s helped me through some issues with him as well. I HIGHLY recommend her to everyone! If you’re willing to put in the work she will be right in there with you helping you have the best life possible with your dog! Kimber and I are much happier now and I owe it all to Annie! In everything she does it’s abundantly clear that Annie has a deep passion for not only the dogs she’s working with but for helping their humans as well. I owe so much to her! If you’re looking for someone with the knowledge and experience to help you train your best friend as well as the convenience of training in your own home or a park etc then you’ve definitely come to the right place!

Robert Bower: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,Responsiveness,ValueMy wife and I adopted a 1 year old black lab with a wild side. Annie gave us the tools to help our dog learn when he should be calm and when to release that wild energy.

Jane Johnston: My nails are already falling off and it's been 1 week. I've never had my nails fall off

KAFJJHTMS: She’s wonderful! Took my dog there for agility. Worked wonders for his confidence. I’d love to return one day. Finances took a dive and had to stop going. He’s fearful of a lot (people, objects, etc) and she was awesome with him.

Heide Stull: It’s a great training facility for your dogs. The owner is very nice and teaches you how to work with your dog. I highly recommend the puppy classes.

Adam Rykse: We've taken both our shelties to Antoinette for obedience and agility classes. We would definitely recommend her!

Romana Ploss: Owner is dedicated to the task and works very hard to get best results

Abigail Parsons: The owner is a fantastic instructor and very knowledgeable. Her agility classes are the best.

Tom Dopp: After a year and a half I can honestly say that Top Hat and Tails has been an absolutely wonderful experience. The owner/trainer is always super professional, knowledgable, and very positive in all situations. The prices are extremely competitive. My Shetland Sheepdog earned his AKC Good Citizen there and absolutely loves the agility course. It's such a warm and friendly environment and it makes both owners and dogs feel at ease. The owner/trainer has won multiple national awards and is, by a wide margin, the most knowledgable trainer in the Mishawaka/ South Bend area. My only regret is I can't give Top Hat and Tails morr stars!

Grace P: Just completed the 6 week puppy class with our dog, Holly. This is my first time owning a dog/puppy so finding a good trainer was very important. I did lots of research before finally coming across Neika (Vet Tech Coach) and we could not be more thankful we found her! She is absolutely incredible, an expert with puppies/dogs, and taught us so many valuable skills that every dog owner should know. She goes above and beyond and has answered many questions for us outside of puppy class. Not to mention, she set up a 1 on 1 training session with us for a specific behavior we wanted to address with our puppy - so helpful. The best thing you could do for your new puppy is take it to Neikas puppy class!! I can’t recommended her enough.

Kristy Howell: Positive:ProfessionalismNeika is passionate about helping people and their pets. She speaks dog and will help you learn to speak if too!

Elizabeth “Liz” Symon: Best doggie nail trim ever! She does it in a way that makes your pet feel comfortable, provides treats to distract them, and has an all around positive vibe that puts your pup at ease.

Alison Silverio: Neika is superb!

Danielle: Look no further! Your search for a positive dog trainer is over. In the eight years I have been a client Neika has gone above and beyond in her work with our family dogs. From puppy classes, socialization opportunities, one on one training, toenail trims and trips to Camp, our entire family has benefited from our experiences with Vet Tech Coach - 4 legged and 2 legged alike! 5 ⭐️s

Cheryl Kelly: Neika understands dogs and their behaviors better than anyone I have ever met! The beauty in her positive reinforcement methods are that they not only work very quickly on your dog, but they also make you a better pet parent by understanding the “whys” and how to help your dog be their best. Highly recommend her talents and insights!

Whitney Guess: Neika is amazing! When I got Lucy at 8 weeks old, I signed her up for puppy class. Then when the adolescent class with daycare and training was offered I signed up. Neika pays attention to each individual dog. Be prepared for homework to help work on your dogs new skills. The videos are helpful to look back on. Lucy gets so excited going to Neika's to play and learn. And she continues to help and answer questions after training is over. I recommend her to friends and anyone who asks for a trainer.

Beth Hostetler: Neika was so great with our wild child puppy Addie. She helped us understand how to manage some of her problem behaviors with positive reinforcement and I feel we could reach out to Neika in the future for additional help. Thank you Neika!

Jennifer Morrison: Neika has been such a help with our puppy Lucy. She is always prompt in her responses and helped with questions after hours. Definitely recommend!

Chad Nagy: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ValueHighly recommended. Neika knows dogs - and people! I'm so glad we attended her puppy classes.

Angie Yoder: I have learned so much from Neika about training our pup Rona. You can talk with her about anything. She has heard it all. Neika is a fantastic trainer and I feel comfortable in calling her my friend now. She has been helping me raise my fur child for 6 months now and it takes a lot to co parent an Australian Cattle dog! Lol

Bernard Nahlen: Neika continues to be a wonderful trainer for my pup Roxie. It has been a challenge to socialize a new pup during this time of social distancing, but Neika has made a real difference in my pup's confidence around new people and other dogs. She is always available for follow-up advice and suggestions for new challenges to keep Roxie entertained. I highly recommend Neika to anyone who is looking for training assistance with their pup or older dog.

Kimberly Bretz: Positive:Quality,ResponsivenessNeika was so fun to work with, and it was obvious how passionate she she is about working with dogs. She films training sessions and sends them to you which is AWESOME because you can see exactly what she does and use it at home anytime. I could not thank her enough and highly recommend her,

Lisa Shroyer: Our pup Arlo had a wonderful time with Neika. She's patient and positive and paid a lot of attention to his individual personality and needs. It's been great to have her on our team!

Carletta: Neika—I just want to thank you again for working with our dogs and us!! I just shake my head at these people who have puppies and “train” them wrong!! I have a friend that sent his dog away for 3 weeks to get trained. The trainer uses a shock collar...need I say more?!? And he was expensive!! Plus...it doesn’t seem the pup learned much!! I love the fact you work with both the people and dogs!! Lola and Rolo are the best dogs I have ever had!! Most of that is because I had the opportunity to work with you with them!!😋

Melinda Low: Neika is hands down the best. Her willingness to go above and beyond for others is beyond amazing. The way she handles dogs and the uniqueness of each situation is top notch. She is very supportive during the process of training no matter what kind of training you are doing. I can't say enough good things about her. You won't be disappointed if you use her!

Not Anymore: Neika is such a knowledgeable and thoughtful professional. Responses to questions are insightful and compassionate, somehow she can step into your shoes with an incredible level of understanding, even with the most challenging situation.

Elizabeth Harrington: Neika is hands down the best behaviorist around! Her positive reinforcement techniques are so refreshing to see in this field, and highly effective. With being an RVT as well I love the fact that she has a medical background to truly understand animals and provide you/your pet with the best training expertise possible. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for training needs, from puppy classes to behavioral cases. She is currently helping me work on some behavioral issues with my two Dobermans and I couldn't be happier with the progress we have made! Best decision we ever made, only regret is not having done it sooner!!

Carletta Berger: Neika is GREAT!! I have a Cocapoo and a Pitbull and they are very well behaved dogs, thanks to Neika!!

Penny Bishop: Neika is great. We did a puppy class with her and she was amazing with the dogs. I follow her on Facebook and learn so many training practices with positive reinforcement. We are getting another puppy soon and plan on socializing our new puppy through her puppy class also.
