If you care about your dog, please read this…read more I rarely write reviews, but after what my dog went through at this facility, I feel obligated to warn others. I usually leave my dog with family, but they weren't available. I found this place through online research and ignored the red flags -- something I deeply regret. After a short trial weekend, my dog came home with a cut on his nose. They brushed it off and blamed him. Foolishly, I gave them a second chance for a longer stay. When I picked him up, he had a deep wound on his nose, a chipped tooth, and was visibly traumatized. He wasn't the same dog -- withdrawn, scared, and exhausted. When I contacted the owner, she avoided responsibility and offered no real explanation. After pushing for answers, she sent a photo of the small cage he had been kept in -- nothing like what I was told. She even tried to shift the blame onto my dog again. This place was neglectful and unprofessional, and I strongly considered pursuing further action. I would never bring my dog here again. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Your dog deserves better.

Second time I asked Tamar if she noticed anything that could have caused him to limp. She got very defensive and gave non helping random replies. Needless to say she didn't care a bit. I ended up spending lot of time and money at vet. Anyways, I stopped sending him there and found better alternatives.

We took our dog to them after some other trainers didn't know what to do with her, and they were the right place to take her! She was so dog reactive we could barely walk her (even though she loves to walk). She's now great on the leash. She's a whole new dog! If you have a reactive dog, this is the place to go.

We started taking our dogs here a little more than a year ago, after our old doggy daycare shut…read moredown. I have to say that I am very impressed with how well they have taken care of our pups. I would recommend the doggy daycare for active and playful dogs or social dogs. My other senior dog wasn't into the social scene and didn't like being around a lot of dogs, so this wasn't a great fit for her. They do have a non-social option, which is more like a small enclosed run, but you have to know your dog and whether that will work for them. For my two that have gone to PnP, every day I look forward to seeing their photos and hearing about the fun they had. In the summer, my dogs especially like cooling off in the kiddie pools. I know the entire facility is very clean. They close midday to clean, and my dogs never came home smelling dirty. Our senior dog Moose loved going to "school" and getting in the car everyday. The staff at PnP took such gentle loving care of him even as he got older and weaker. They noticed little things like days he was in pain even before we did and were always careful to let us know. We will forever be grateful for how well they cared for him all the way to the end. Thank you Paws n Pals! I highly recommend this daycare to anyone in Kent looking for a great place for their pups to have fun and socialize!

My dog attended Paws N Pals for more than four years, and for most of that time we had positive…read moreexperiences. The staff cared for my dog well, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, the business closed permanently with no advance notice to customers, despite many of us having prepaid daycare packages. I had just purchased a new 10-day package for $420 that had never been used. After the closure, I reached out to request a refund. Instead of issuing refunds directly, I was instructed to contact the third-party scheduling software company, Gingr, or dispute the charge with my bank or credit card company. As the business that accepted my payment, I expected Paws N Pals to handle refunds directly rather than directing customers elsewhere. To make matters more confusing, I continue to receive daycare notifications even though the business has permanently closed. I truly appreciated the care my dog received over the years, but the way this business closed and handled prepaid customer accounts has been extremely disappointing. Longtime customers who paid in advance for services that were never provided should not have to fight to recover their money. I hope every customer with an unused package receives a full refund.

After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately a lot of trainers use aversives, especially with large strong dogs. We were so excited to find Julia, and after our meet & greet we were confident she was a good choice. Julia did a 2 week board & train with our dog while we were traveling, mainly focusing on leash skills and practicing calm behavior around exciting things. We noticed an immediate improvement, but have also been continuing to work on the training at home after our follow up. I'm happy to report that we are continuing to see improvement using Julia's methods.

From the owner: At Guiding Tails, I focus on building real, lasting relationships between you and your dog through…read moreclear communication, trust, and understanding.

I guide you step-by-step through real-life situations, helping your dog learn that you’re a safe, consistent source of support, especially when things feel overwhelming or uncertain. As an IAABC-ADT and Family Dog Mediator, I’m committed to ongoing education and science-based methods, so you always receive thoughtful, up-to-date guidance tailored to your individual dog.

I am so glad our dog can run around, sniff, play, and be outside all day as opposed to other dog boarding places where the dogs stay in kennels for a good part of the day. We will be repeat customers! (Side note: CCC does NOT use shock collars as has been alleged by some other reviews. CCC sent an email to all their clients that said this: "It's important to emphasize that training collars are a training aid, not a punitive measure; they should never be used as a form of punishment or cruelty. We exclusively use the beep or vibrate functions to capture a dog's attention, and we never administer shocks. Training collars help dogs that struggle to shift their focus during intense play or display inappropriate behavior that could lead to issues. Every client is informed about our training approach at the beginning of our services through our intake paperwork. Our primary responsibility is to make decisions that ensure the safety of the dogs in our care while providing a fulfilling free-range experience. We implement the most effective correction techniques tailored to each dog's needs." and also "When we notice unwanted behaviors, we follow a specific protocol for every dog. First, we will leash the dog and walk with it to redirect its energy and behavior. If that doesn't work, we will move the dog to a different yard or play area to see if the new environment or playmates will influence its behavior. If that step is unsuccessful, we will put the dog inside for a timeout or separation for about 20 minutes. If all these steps fail to redirect the dog's behavior, we will then resort to the training collar option.")

Posting to warn other dog owners who use boarding facilities. I picked up my dog from Creekside…read moreCountry Canines on Monday morning to a horrific sight. A shock collar was discovered on my dog jammed so tight on his neck that both my husband and the male employee had significant difficulty removing it. The employee at pickup did not disclose the use and was going to allow us to leave with this collar still on our dog. There was no communication during his stay that this type of discplinary action was necessary and it was a complete shock, since we have used the boarding service several times and our dog's behavior has only been praised. A single finger couldn't even fit underneath it. The employee on duty had to physically choke, pull, and wrestle my dog to get it off causing him severe distress, flailing, and yelping. He was inside of an unsupervised crate with this device and staff have not disclosed how many days this device was used. We have tried to communicate with the owner directly, and have been told three very different explanations regarding the use which shows deception and lying. Leaving an improperly fitted, high-pressure correction tool jammed on a confined dog unattended, with zero shift logging or handler handoff is negligence, plain and simple. When confronted with these safety failures, the owner doubled down with deflection rather than addressing why my dog was wrongly subjected to unmonitored equipment and choking under their roof. Formal complaints has been filed with Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC), along with deceptive business practice reports with the WA Attorney General. Save your dogs the trauma and avoid sending your dog to this facility.
