    Status:
    Answered
    We signed a contract with Desert Sage K9 for $1800 to train our dogs. We received 3 lessons out of 8 total paid for. We could not continue the lessons because the "trainer" ***** Nourse mistreated our dogs and was insulting and and rude to us rather than helping to train our dogs as promised. Desert Sage Academy K9 refused to return any of the training funds as a clause in the predatory contract stated would be the case should we not complete the training.***** Nourse and Desert Sage Academy uses unqualified dog training methods rather than the LIMA training techniques approved by *************** of ************ Dog Trainers, which the Desert Sage Academy claims to be a member of according to their website. She recommended a ************************* prong collar for our dogs and used a pop/leash correction method, which caused my dog to defecate on the floor three separate times when the collar was forcefully put on and used by this trainer. Neither or these training methods/equipment are listed as LIMA compliant and caused repeated distress to the dogs.Desert Sage Academy and **************** did not follow correct training procedures and ultimately terrorized our dogs in the process of "training", plus the training agreed to was not completed. For these and other reasons we request a refund for the entire amount of the contract.

    *BEWARE!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE* I cannot strongly recommend enough that anyone interested in any services from Desert Sage K9 training or any of their businesses do their research first. I did not & have been working through the headache for the last 10 months including taking them to court & receiving judgement in our favor. A quick search in the BBB, ******* Yelp, social media search of their name/business, & most telling in the ****************, will show you exactly who they are. We hired them to board our dog on 2 occasions in Dec. 2022 & for a training package of (8) 1-hour training sessions. They charged $2500 for the 8 hour package. The interactions I had with ***** during the exchange of my dog for boarding started to concern me. I was not comfortable with her demeanor or language. I sent her a text before any training started and requested a refund, stating I was not comfortable. She immediately said I was terminating her **************** is no-refunds. I instantly text that I was not willing to forfeit $2500, if she wouldnt consider a refund, I needed to receive training for my dog (I would have regretfully moved forward with the training, based on the cost & hope for some iota of benefit.) ***** refused to answer my call & stopped responding to my texts. I filed a small claims case against Nourse Enterprises. Throughout the legal process, ***** told countless provable lies. She initially said shed provided training via text and phone. We submitted phone statements and the complete text logs to the court to disprove that . I submitted reviews from her other businesses to show a pattern of unethical business practices, ***** claims she strangely doesnt know any of the reviewers. We received judgement in our favor from the court. Case No. CV01-23-01131. They have not paid .01.Beware of ************************* Dogs, Desert Sage K9 Training, ********* Dog Rescue, and any other business run/associated with ************* Nourse.
