"Mike and Jessica did a great job with the puppy boot camp class. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a puppy. This class taught us how to be good dog owners. The class size was small. They gave us lots of training tips and answered any questions that came up. We will be back for the good citizen class once our puppy is a little older. Highly recommend."

"About 1 month maybe 6 weeks ago I made a reservation for overnight care for a weekend that we were going camping and a training session for our pound pitbull mix. I have taken him as far forward in training as I could and was ready for an evaluation and thought this would be an ideal time. He's a loving dog but has anxiety and is reactive to dogs, lunges on walks, and is reactive to strangers. He is a barker. Needs socialization. I was asked questions about his behavior. I explained on the phone that he is reactive to dogs and I was told that he would be temperament tested. If he was not good with the daycare dogs he would stay in kennel and be walked once an hour, if he passed the temperment test he would be in daycare. He would receive an hour long session of training with a trainer so I could move forward in more intensive training. I arrived two hours before we would leave on our trip. Our dog barked at the dog in the next car. The lady came up to me as I was unbuckling and asked if he was reactive to dogs and why was he there. I explained that we were there for overnight care and yes, as I had explained on the phone he was reactive to other dogs she said hold on a minute I have to prepare. She disappeared inside. She never came back out, the owner I think pulled up as if had been called by the lady. I assume he was the owner by the way he carried himself. He did not introduce himself to me. He told me my dog couldn't board there because he barks at other dogs and he was therefore a liability. Leaving me with no board care, the chance that we would have had to cancel a trip planned for months. If I had been told he was not able to board when I made the reservation for board and training I would not be writing a poor review. Everybody has rules for their business. The owner also said he doesn't take dogs that have anxiety. Seems odd when most behavior issues probably stem from anxiety especially pound puppies that might have been abused. I won't do business with this business. I will find a person or business that does not come across as a pompous, self important individual. You can be a professional, and proud of your work without coming across this way. This business needs to train their staff to avoid this situation. Unacceptable behavior."

"My German shepherd pup, Rex, and I thoroughly enjoyed puppy boot camp! It was a great experience to socialize your pup while learning on leash training. Mike and Tony were top notch, extremely helpful and full of knowledge. Highly recommend this program!"

"What a wonderful staff. I have a German Shepherd puppy who was very shy. Just in a couple days of her being with them, she now will go up to people and other dogs. She leaves happy and rested and her destructive chewing has been significantly reduced. You can't ask for a better team!"

"I would give them more stars if I could! Kyrie, Mike, and their staff always have my pup's best interest at heart and have vast wealth of knowledge! They're continually working on ways for the dogs to grow in confidence and ability. I couldn't ask for a better place to send Finn to on my long days at work!"
