Testimonials

Luis is great with our dog. He always comes home so obedient. We board him there when on vacation, he gets groomed there and goes daycare.

Luis has brought my level of satisfaction in having a dog up into the stratosphere. If you love your unruly puppy dog like I did, and then you work with Luis, the level of bonding and confidence that both you and your dog gain will have you flying high. I love that I’m no longer being pulled around by my dog. Now He happily marches alongside me. And even when he’s having his free time to sniff and play he’s much more well behaved just of his own free will. Luis’s method gets the dog to choose for itself and make the right choice. My dog is much more happy and confident and my life is so much easier. Just be warned it takes a lot of dedication to do his training methods. And if you have spoiling tendencies like I do, Luis does not have much patience for that. He wants the dog to get your messages clearly because that’s what’s easiest on the dog. The training is mostly for the dog owner so be prepared to put in the work. I have boarded and trained with Luis for a long time and I know for certain he genuinely cares so much for these dogs.

Luis, Mike and staff are terrific caregivers. They are calm and attentive which soothes both dogs and owners. I had heard about Camp K9 through my daughter who used the facility for boarding and training. I recently needed to board my mother’s dog while she was in the hospital. The staff took excellent care of Skippy. When my mother was released it quickly became evident she would not be able to care for Skippy. In desperation and panic I called Luis again explaining that I was not sure how long I need to board Skippy because I had begun the surrender process with MCSPCA due to the circumstances. Not only did they welcome Skippy back but helped him thrive. Luis took the initiative to find someone to adopt Skippy and walked me through the paperwork. If I could give Camp K9 10 stars I would. The owner Luis and his staff truly care about the dogs and their well being.
