Testimonials
I have been boarding my dogs here for the last 13 years and Stephanie, the owner of Bella Vista Training Center, is the BEST! My dogs love coming here! Bella Vista has evolved over the years encompassing more and more services. It is always busy, from dog training lessons to “mock trials,” to prepare competitor dogs for shows.
Bella Vista remains a FIVE stars over the years!
This time, I was actually using the boarding & grooming services of Bella Vista Training Center. Betty spent 7 nights, and as always, she had a great experience. Stephanie treats her like family. Betty looked fabulous after her grooming session.
We just finished our second training course and we are looking forward to trying more! I cannot say enough good things about everyone and the whole set up. They are so accommodating! My only regret is that I didn’t discover these excellent trainers sooner!
