Testimonials

Wow. Wow. Wow!!! Ali and his family are simply amazing! After interviewing a couple trainers for board and train programs, we knew we found the right guys for the job. We were looking for someone we could trust with our little pup and right when we met Ali and Han they were so good with Hamilton. They interacted and established a strong bond with him. We decided to do the 4 week board and train program for our 5 month pup who was horrible on a leash, overly excited and obedient only when he wanted to. Through out the program they sent us pictures and updates and he looked like he was always having a blast! When we picked him up, he was a completely different pup! So much better than we expected. We could tell they were sad to see him go, and we could tell our pup loved them. We will definitely be bringing him back for play dates and boarding whenever we go on trips. We are super happy we found a place our pup loves and somewhere we feel safe leaving him. Ali and family, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

I can’t say enough good things about Ali from YAY Doggy! From the moment he walked up our driveway, our high-strung Bernedoodle, Angus, completely calmed down — it felt almost magical. In just one session, Ali had Angus sitting, spinning, and lying down using only hand gestures. His calm, confident energy and clear communication make training actually enjoyable.
What I really love about his approach is that he doesn’t believe in “bad dogs” — just uninformed parents. I honestly feel like I’m the one being trained, and I learn something new every single session. Ali is also incredibly professional and accommodating with scheduling, and get this — he came for our very first two-hour session even though it was his birthday!
As for the daycare side, I don’t handle drop-off or pick-up myself, but I love that I still get photos and videos of Angus throughout the day. They even created an Angus group chat on his first visit without us even asking! The price is super reasonable, and the fact that they’re just three minutes away from our house is a huge bonus.
I highly, highly recommend YAY Doggy for both training and daycare. It’s such a relief knowing Angus has a safe, loving place to play, learn, and socialize — and we get to see him grow into a more well-mannered, happy pup every day!

We’ve been going to Ali for about 3 years and there’s no one we trust more with our fur babies! Ali and his family are all so knowledgeable and kind hearted with my 2 dogs. Even when we pull onto their street my dogs get so excited knowing that they’re going there. Not only are they amazing with my dogs, they’re also super flexible and always able to accommodate bringing in my dogs. I always recommend them to all of my friends looking to bring their fur babies!
