Testimonials

Julianne was great with our dog. The progress was a complete 180 degree change. We sent her a wild puppy, we got a well behaved puppy in return!!
– Client

My pups love staying, and training sessions have helped us tremendously when adjusting to a new baby. The place is so well maintained and clean, and being able to add on grooming is a huge plus too. Julianne is communicative of any issues, and she is also super quick to let you know of she can’t accommodate a request. I recommend her to everyone.
– Client

We’ve used Howling Good K9 so many times and I honestly can’t recommend them enough. They always take such great care of our dogs, treating them like their own. Every time we drop them off, we have total peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Our pups are always happy, healthy, and excited to go back. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and reliable kennel, Howling Good K9 is the place to go!
