Testimonials
I brought my 1 year old STUBBORN German shepherd in for the 10 day board and train. From the beginning Riley was extremely communicative and helpful about the process… My reactive dog immediately felt comfortable in the environment and around the staff… I truly think that goes to show how much they care for these dogs and how genuine they are! I picked my boy up today and it’s safe to say that he has completely changed in ever best way.
– Client
Highly recommended. My seven-month-old XL Bully, Diesel, recently completed the 20-day board and training program… He is a high-energy breed that loves to play, but previously struggled with understanding his own strength, particularly when interacting with children. We are extremely pleased with the significant progress he has made.
– Client
I have a 5 month old German Shepherd named Obi. We did the puppy behavior classes until he was old enough to enroll in the 10 day board and train program… After the 10 day program he came home with improved behaviors. He stop chewing on the remotes, which was the best unexpected surprise.
