Performance Dogs

Horrible! He did not follow through with the initial 15 days pick up and drop off contract. He only sent his team to pick up my dogs twice. I have family members at home, and cameras to monitor pick up and drop off. I have to personally call, text or email him to ask for reasons why the dogs weren't pick up. After that, he decided to change his business model and started group training classes that took place in a private community, which was not what I had signed up for! There were only some group meet up sessions, but without any explaination, his Meetup profile was deleted. I haven't heard from him since November 2018. Save your money and find better trainers. Such waste of money, and never recieve any money back for unfulfilled sessions.

**SCAM ALERT** PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THIS COMPANY!!! DO NOT USE HIM AND PLEASE CHECK BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM!!! Stephen Mace of Performance Dogs completely scammed us out of the money we paid for his training. He does not have this training warehouse with a pool, agility course, place for boarding, and fenced in area for training like he tells you. He works out of his home and uses his garage for boarding which does not have central air! Our dog was boarded for a vacation we had and when we picked her up she had clearly lost weight, she stunk really bad, and was really hyper. He gave us no feedback on how she had been or if she had even eaten the food we provided him. She tends to go days without eating when in a new place so t

I had 3 dogs there for 2 years. It's been almost 2 years since I left. I had paid early and when I left because I had changed work locations, I was due a refund for 3 months. It took multiple calls, the intervention of Visa, and tolerating a bevy of excuses I believe were untrue (multiple family members in the hospital; a new one every week that I called asking for my money), but I got my money back. Unfortunately for others, after reading these reviews, they were not as fortunate. I would show up at various times during the day, and 99% of the time, all three of my dogs were in a car carrier (the same carrier). I think that is where they spent most of the 8 hours (5 days a week). That's not what I pay daycare for; if I hadn't changed work locations I was going to pull them out anywa

Nice facility and some cool staff however, cons outweigh pros.. Most important is that I paid $1800 there and in 4 months, they could't do what another trainer did in 1 week. How is that possible? Some dogs need something different, and my dog would not respond to their way of training. In fact my dog regressed because he got bit by a dog there. Now our big puppy is slowly, but surely warming up to other dogs at the dog park. I have had multiple miss pick ups, and while I can not prove it, I/m almost positive one of their drivers stole my $100 hiking shoes, which I only wore a handful of times. They do not just disappear. On their last drop off I saw at least a dozen dogs in the drivers car, jumping all over the place. Just didn't look safe or secure. They never gave back my house key, and

WE SUED PERFORMANCE DOGS AND WON. The owner, Stephen Mace, lied to my husband and I about losing our dog who was being boarded/"trained" at their Manassas facility. Our dog escaped the facility around 8:30am because she was not being supervised by the staff while her crate was being cleaned (the staff member admitted this to my husband and I). The staff member attempted to catch our dog after she escaped but could not. Stephen Mace was informed immediately by his staff but chose to wait TWELVE HOURS before calling me to inform us our dog was missing. When he did call us, it was 9:00 at night but he told us she had only been missing for 4 hours (lie #1). My husband and I searched for our dog for 3 days in the woods of Manassas. During that time, Stephen Mace lied to us countless times abou
