Glad I didn't read some of these reviews before I took advantage of an awesome deal that David was…read morepromoting and not one bad thing to say about the experience. This is for the dog wash and not for boarding. I have never boarded my dog but he definitely a bath every now and then. David met me when I walked in for my dog wash. The place, was clean and quiet. He was super welcoming and friendly. I thought I was going into self wash for the $10 special but it turns out to be a $10 wash to have him wash my dog! How could I say no to such a sweet deal? That deal has passed but they do have a $20 per month special for unlimited dog washes. If you have a dog that needs regular baths, phone this is a sweet option. My boy came back happy and clean. No complaints.

So...I really always give places the benefit of the doubt and have written one other negative…read morereview in my life, but this ended up being a negative experience over all. We used them 2 years ago and they picked Mollie, our golden retriever, up every day and brought her back as well. At the end of that stay they told me they only do that for member dogs, so for this visit, we took an Uber to drop her and pick her up every day for 3 days. Upon arrival the first day, the front door was open and we went in there. When we returned at the end of the day, the front door was locked. So I rang the bell. No one answered. I called, no one answered. I walked around to the side door and it was unlocked, so I went inside and the nice lady at the front desk apologized, so I chalked that up to me just not knowing the process. Mollie came back with an injury between her toes that day that I didn't notice when we picked her up, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and let it go. The second day the same process occurred when I came to pick her up - front door locked, rang the bell, got no response, so I called with no answer, then went to the side door. There was another customer picking up her dog from the side door. I assumed this, again, was just part of the process. Went in and the lady at the front desk apologized again for not unlocking the front door. 100% forgiven for me, and I took Mols back to the hotel and she was good (a little thirsty but that is normal for her not to drink at daycare much). Day 3 - front door was locked when we arrived so I walked Mollie around to the side door and they took her back to play. It was her last day at daycare this time, so I asked them to bathe her and the person at the reception asked if I wanted her nails clipped, so I said sure. Cut to the pick up, I went straight to the side door, bc I assumed it was open and didn't want to repeat the whole locked door then ring bell then call with no answer then go to the side door to pick her up. There was a man loading his Miata (silver) who came out the side door. I held the door for him as I went in and he informed me the process was to go to the front door. I told him that it had been locked the past two days upon pickup, so I just came straight to the side door instead. We walked into the lobby and I had already forgotten about his lecture bc I am not easily frustrated. But he couldn't let it go - proceeded to tell me they let dogs loose in the lobby (maybe not the best idea) and they don't want them to get out. I told him I understood and had followed that process before and would follow it going forward. He apparently charged my cc without telling me the amount and said he was going to get her. The super nice front desk girl brought her to me and we went out the "correct" door. When we got back home Mollie was licking her other paw - not the one injured on Tuesday. Turns out they quicked her in 4 nails while trimming them (like cutting your human nails so short they bleed, pics attached l), which made me question the toe injury from Tuesday as well. And they didn't tell me they accidentally cut her nails too short. Truth is, letting me know on pickup is all they would have had to do and I would have been fine in spite of the injury - since the reason I don't trim her nails myself is I quicked one of my first golden's nails on accident and swore I would let the pros handle it from there on out. All in all, I should probably give them one star, but I know these reviews can totally affect business and maybe this was just a bad week for them. I am not saying don't use them bc other reviews are positive, but there is a possibility that it is not a good experience.

We have been through socialization training with her and she is doing better. We were going on a road trip and we needed a place to care for her. We were very unsure of how she would do. We toured Ruff Life Resort first and were VERY impressed. The staff were very welcoming and showed us around. One thing I noticed right away was how good it smelled. They keep everything super clean. They offer a variety of suite sizes too. Since this was her first experience, they evaluated her first and with their expertise placed her with a group of dogs that she was actually able to make friends with. She had never been able to do that before. They have five large yards, indoor and out. Their is always someone with the dogs in the yards too. We got pictures and reports everyday on how she was doing and it made my heart happy to see how happy she was and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was being very well cared for. They even bathed her and washed her stuffy toy we had for her. We will most definitely book this resort the next time we need to board her. Definitely a 10 out of 10.

We found Ryan and Obedience Matters shortly after adding a beautiful Australian Cattle dog puppy…read morenamed Maya to our family. My fiance and I had done some research regarding cattle dogs and since we are both avid mountain bikers- we thought having a high energy (and smart!) dog would be the perfect trail companion. We had Ryan come to our home and had one-on-one sessions with Maya. As first time dog parents, we learned so much from watching and learning from Ryan interact and train with Maya. He is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and helped us with basic commands (sit, down, come) as well as more complex training using the E-collar. I personally was horrified of the idea of using a "shock collar". I was in tears at the thought of "shocking" our dog. However, after explaining the PURPOSE, TRAINING, SAFETY and FREEDOM that the E-collar allows (if used correctly) the dog- I began to feel more comfortable. I even tried to E-collar on a low setting on my own arm, which actually felt more like a light pinch and not a taser (which is what I imagined). Ryan taught us the purpose of it, was not to hurt or punish the dog, but to redirect the dog or have your dog recall and come back to you if needed. If this tool is used the right way- it is an amazing life-saving training tool. Because of the training, knowledge and information Ryan had provided us with- we are able to have Maya with us ON and OFF-LEASH on hikes, and join us on mountain bike rides. Her recall is excellent and while she is not the perfect dog (what dog is? haha) she has grown into a happy, smart and beautiful well-trained dog. When we visit dog parks or people meet Maya, you would not believe the comments we get about her being incredibly well-behaved. We STILL have people in Philly asking if our dog trainer Ryan can help/work with their dogs. My fiance and I now have 3 cattle dogs!!! We used the training and knowledge Ryan gave us to help us work with Maya and our other two wonderful cattle dogs. Although Ryan/Obedience Matters has relocated to Utah- we still are in contact with Ryan and he has helped us with any training tips or questions we have with our younger 2 cattle dogs. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and Obedience Matters. He is an excellent dog trainer, very kind, understanding and a patient person who genuinely cares about the dogs he works with.

I cannot recommend Ryan Herbst at Obedience Matters enough. We entrusted him with our 4-month-old…read moreBernedoodle, Lola, for boarding and training, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Lola has transformed into a well-behaved and disciplined dog, all while maintaining her sweet, playful disposition. Ryan is incredibly knowledgeable about the latest, most effective techniques and is skilled at implementing tools like the e-collar with great care and precision. What truly sets Ryan apart is his genuine love for the animals in his care. When Lola had a minor medical situation, he immediately alerted me and took her to the vet himself. His proactive care and obvious concern showed us just how much he cared for our "princess." His service goes above and beyond the training period. He has called to check in on Lola's progress and even scheduled one-on-one sessions with me to ensure I'm confident in handling her at home. Ryan is a true professional who is generous with his time, expertise, and compassion. If you're in Park City and looking for top-tier dog training with a personal touch, look no further. I would also like to thank Jessie, assistant trainer for her love & care of Lola as well. Thank you, Ryan! Thank you Jessie!
