Both Jose and Don was so patient with me and my questions. I wanted to try some of their products, but was concerned about finding parking and they suggested that I could purchase the items online, and they would run it out to me when I arrived. I ordered online and when I got their called the store, and Don literally ran out of the store to hand my items to me! But that's not the amazing part.... When I got home and examined the items (bone broth and digestive probiotics) I noticed the probiotics were in pill form when I ordered the powdered version. I thought to myself, oh no biggie I suppose I can just crush it up and mix it with the food. However, there's no instructions on how much/many to give to my dog according to weight. So I called again and asked and told them I originally purchased the powdered form of probiotics, but I got the pill.. They looked over my order and apologized for the mix up. And Uber delivered my correct order for me the same day!!.... I WILL BE GOING BACK TO JEFFREY'S when I can. Pup is on the mend. The delivery took forever cuz I think my Uber driver got lost or something... Not Jeffrey's fault LOL!

Our experience with Grateful Dog on Thursday, November 6th was deeply troubling and ultimately…read moreunacceptable. This was our dog Indio's first visit. When we picked him up around 5 p.m., he had a severe laceration on his lower eyelid and was visibly shaken. A young staff member admitted he was in another room at the time and that no one was supervising the dogs when the injury occurred--despite Grateful Dog's website explicitly promising "supervised play, indoor and outdoor." It was clear this employee was not trained to handle incidents of any kind. He also told us he had been instructed over the phone by his boss, Ernie, to clean the wound and apply ointment without notifying us. Ernie made a judgment call based on a dark photo instead of contacting us. As a result, our dog was left with an open, untreated wound for the rest of the day with no communication whatsoever. We took Indio straight to the emergency hospital, where he required full sedation and several hours of treatment. He remained there for nearly six hours. Both the ER team and our primary vet agreed that the lack of supervision, failure to notify us, and the attempt to treat a significant injury without consent were irresponsible. Indio is now on multiple medications, wearing a cone for weeks, and his emergency care totaled $1,295.26. When we later spoke with Ernie, his attitude was shockingly dismissive. His exact words were: "I've been doing this for 30 years -- didn't seem like a big deal." No responsible professional minimizes an injury requiring emergency sedation as "not a big deal." We then emailed a detailed summary with photos and documentation. After that, Grateful Dog completely ghosted us. No response, no acknowledgment, no concern. Accidents happen. But zero supervision, untrained staff, unauthorized medical treatment, a manager who downplays the injury, and complete silence afterward are not accidents -- they are serious failures in judgment and care. If you're considering this facility, ask very direct questions about who is actually supervising your dog and what their real protocols are. Our experience suggests there is a significant gap between what's advertised and what actually happens.

We cannot recommend Mutt and Tumble Dog Training enough. Bryan helped transform our two doodles…read morefrom reactive, poorly behaved dogs into calm, obedient companions who are now a pleasure to walk and have around others. Before training, we struggled with leash pulling, barking, lunging at other dogs, and nonstop chaos whenever someone came through the door. We were honestly at our wits' end. Everything changed after I saw Bryan in Jackson Square walking a calm, perfectly behaved pack of dogs. We started weekly family lessons in January 2026 with our dogs and our two 12-year-old daughters, and progress began almost immediately. Bryan quickly helped us realize the humans needed training too. With consistent coaching, support, and a board-and-train program, the transformation has been incredible. Our dogs are now well-behaved both at home and in public. We can comfortably walk them, take them to parks and outdoor restaurants, and genuinely enjoy being with them. Friends and family who knew our dogs before cannot believe the difference in their behavior. Thank you, Bryan. You really can teach old dogs new tricks.

Our dog, Maggie (2yrs - Cockapoo), is coming home tomorrow after a 2 week board and train and I…read morecouldn't wait until then to write a review for Bryan. Bit of background: Maggie has done 12 weekly group training sessions with another trainer and is generally well-behaved. However, she doesn't read the social signals from other dogs well (ex: when they want to be left alone), tends to jump on everyone at all times, doesn't respond to commands unless there's a treat involved, and lacks confidence. What I enjoyed about the program is that it includes several in person training sessions during the B&T. We got to see Maggie's progress as time went on and most importantly, we were trained on their behavior psychology and how to become the leaders of our pack. I will say I was nervous about implenting the ecollar but Bryan has demonstrated that it is a safe and effective training tool-- I got to see it used as a tool for correction that Maggie actually responded well to. Maggie is coming home tomorrow and hand-off includes an in-home training sessions to ensure her progress doesn't regress which I appreciate. From what I've seen, Maggie has become more confident, responds to recalls in distracting places (no treats involved), learned to self-soothe, and plays/greets other dogs/people with manners. Truly the best investment I've made in my dog and I'd highly recommend Mutt and Tumble to all dog parents!

We are feeling so fortunate to have found dog walks. Our puppy started at puppy day care just a few…read moremonths ago when he was four months old. Puppy day care has ensured he gets the exercise and socialization he needs while we're at work. We come home to a happily exhausted puppy everyday. Our priorities in a dog day care were 1. A safe and supervised environment for a growing puppy 2. Safe and structured socialization with other dogs. We have noticed that his manners when playing with other dogs have improved so much since he started. When we take him to the park we can clearly see that he has learned how to play with dogs of all sizes and ages. We also love seeing him show up on the dog walks instagram so we can see him enjoying his day while we are in the office. Dogwalks has been so helpful and patient with him. He is so excited to see them show up to pick him up and even happily jumps into the van (he has yet to do this with our cars). We are so happy that our puppy will be able to be in day care and transition to pack walks as he grows up all with the same team.

I have recently have my puppy, Nilla (9 months old) enrolled in the board and train with Kathi. She…read moreis so communicative, sending me weekly updates about my Nilla's progress and ways to improve her behavioral and anxiety issues. Before the board and training, Nilla would constantly miss at home and salivating like crazy when left at home by herself. But after board and training along with the follow up (to transition all of her training to back home), huge progress, less anxious, potty outside (takes around 5-8 minutes each time), nilla knows to let me know when she needs to go outside to potty, and well behaved! So thankful to have Nilla enrolled in this program. P.S.- my puppy at 6 months broke two doors when left at home alone. It was bad. Much better now.

I had a very disappointing experience with this company and would strongly caution others before…read morebooking. I paid $1,000 for a training package and was matched with a trainer named Rob in Portland, and the experience has been consistently unprofessional. He has not been on time to a single session and canceled roughly half of them with excuses that felt unreliable, including personal reasons (his wife had an appointment, he had a headache, ect) that should not interfere this frequently with a paid service. For the final session, he messaged me 10 minutes after it was supposed to start and blamed directions (this was the 2nd time he used that excuse), despite having been to my home multiple times in downtown Portland. At this point, it feels like a lack of respect for my time and a failure to deliver the service I paid for. I am requesting a refund for the final session and have not received a proper resolution yet. Until this is addressed, I cannot recommend this company. Edit: I was told that someone would call me back after their "meeting" yesterday. That never happened. This company had time to respond to reviews, but not to offer a resolution for me. The unprofessionalism starts at the top. I simply want a refund for the last session. I'm happy to do a full charge back if that does not happen, as they did not fulfill their full contracted obligations.

They let me know he wouldn't be able to stay unless he received professional training. With only two weeks before our trip, I reached out to PowerHouseK9. Anthony took him in for a week and made an incredible difference. He taught our dog to heel, walk calmly, and stop pulling on the leash. The improvement was obvious the moment we picked him up. Anthony is knowledgeable, patient, and clearly skilled at working with strong, high‑energy dogs. I'm extremely grateful for the results and highly recommend PowerHouseK9 to anyone looking for effective, professional dog training.

I can see how it may be awkward to meet a total stranger who is then teaching you how to train your "child", but it never felt that way with Pat.
