Testimonials
“Bow Wow Behavioral boarding services are EXCEPTIONAL! From answering all my questions and easily scheduling pick up and drop off, using BWB for Arlo’s boarding was seamless. Ty answered all my questions and provided all the necessary information prior to boarding. They also provided photos, videos and texts each day with how Arlo was doing (he loved running around with his dog friends in the yard) and great news is he loved it so much we will definitely use BWB for boarding in the future! Cannot recommend this extension of their training services enough!”

“My little pup Elvis just finished a 5 day boarding stay and I could not be happier with this business. From the moment they picked my dog up to transport him to the house I felt comfortable. Being nervous in the car they allowed him to sit in the passenger seat rather than in the back of the van in a crate alone. I received pictures and videos everyday of Elvis off leash exploring, sniffing, and playing with the other dogs. I know he had a good time because he has been sleeping since he got home! I will be using this service whenever I need to go out of town.”
