Testimonials
Ally did an awesome job with our new young dog. Our German Shepherd, Geist, was with her for about 4 weeks. He came back to us a very well mannered young individual. Our 5 year old female German Shepherd loves him already!

I really cannot say enough great things about Ally and the Dog Den team. We brought our 2 yo Golden Retriever, Millie, to Ally and her team for their board and train back in April. We were really struggling with Millie’s leash walking and extreme noise sensitivity/anxiety… After the board and train, we’ve been able to take her on walks around our entire block with no issues… I really can’t recommend The Dog Den highly enough!

When we first got our Doberman puppy, we had a tremendously hard time with her energy and behavior… They did an amazing job with our ‘wild’ puppy! Now she’s fully potty trained, her manners have improved tremendously… What truly sets The Dog Den apart is how they go above and beyond even after the training is complete.
