Danny and Ultra K-9 have changed my life and are still making it better and better. My almost 2…read moreyear old GSD was fear biting and excessively protective. Danny took a personal interest in my dog and really focused on helping him and me both. He really FOCUSED on MY DOG. He isn't at all concerned with trying to train too many pets at once or running as many dogs through his program as possible, and he never passed my dog's training over to another trainer. He's a compassionate trainer who understands the bonds as well as the behaviors to be addressed. What's even more amazing that all the wonderful things he did while my dog was in board and train with him is the amount of active support afterwards. He's made so many trips already to make sure that *I* am taught what to do and how to do it... and has made more plans as well. Danny is determined that Ramses and I are going to have a good life with clear boundaries and ingrained positive behaviors. He explains the concepts behind the techniques so that I can understand them. Also, the level of care that my boy got while with Danny and Erin was exceptional! Not once did I have the first fear that my baby wasn't being well treated.... which shows in how affectionate my dog is with them! I really can't say enough positive things at this point. Like I said, my life has changed, is changing, and he may very well have saved my dog's life. I am happy and comfortable with the balanced training approach. Not only that, but I feel that I've made a lifelong friend in the process. If you know anyone who has a difficult dog - or just a dog that needs some training - DEFINITELY call Danny Spooner at Ultra K-9.

One feature I especially appreciated was that they offer both indoor and outdoor play areas, which is very important to me given our hot summers and the fact that I have a brachycephalic dog. She was completely worn out when she got home, which is always a great sign. I highly recommend this daycare -- the entire staff was friendly, accommodating, and made me feel confident that they genuinely care about both the dogs and their owners. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience.

I took my dog (and subsequent foster dogs) there over the course of the four years I lived in Memphis. My dog, Tikva, has some pretty intense stranger danger but immediately loved the owner Kathy and her daughter Lana. We also loved Emma and Lillian, and the rest of the staff. They always put her needs first and never pushed her out of her comfort zone. I always got amazing personalized communication (and cute pics) from them. I really appreciate how they offer solo daycare/boarding to accommodate her issues. The extended hours are also a big plus! My dog LOVED going to River Dog Inn. I wish I could've taken them with me when I moved! We miss you!!

Wow, I have never met a more caring owner/staff. Our dog had a poor experience at a different…read moredoggie daycare, and coming here was the BEST decision we could have made!! They were able to offer daily reports on our pup and she had a great experience when she boarded there, as well. Maggie is high energy and honestly difficult at times, but they handled her so well! They all knew her by name quickly. I could give story after story of how helpful they were, but I will just select a few. 1. Our dog had some issues going to the bathroom due to her long hair one day and needing groomed. Long story short, the owner gave her a sanitary trim without being asked! 2. I had a few last minute scenarios where Maggie needed boarded at the 11th hour, and they were always caring and happy to accommodate. 3. They shared which toys Maggie liked so we could purchase them. 4. They cared for Maggie like family! I cried when we said our goodbyes!! They also took interest in us, which was so kind! If you are in Memphis and need a doggie daycare-look no further. Seriously, we had the very best experience and are so sad to be moving to another state because we no longer get to be patrons of this establishment! We will miss River Dog Inn and cannot praise them enough!!!

My dog loves it here. Its not the fanciest or biggest place, but it's a nice, family-run business,…read moreand they love my dog. She trained here as a puppy and goes to daycare (or "school") a few times a week. I've boarded her here a couple times, too. I tried one of the newer places a couple times to see if my girl would like the pool or bigger yard...nope. She wants to come here and see Meredith and Kaley and all her doggo friends she's known since she was a pup. What a relief to have somewhere reliable, with people who care about you and your dog.

My new puppy, Shiner, was not interested in being the ideal dog. She was full of energy and had difficulty in paying attention. I tried everything I could possibly think of to help motivate her into a functioning member of my household. I spent 10 minutes on the phone with Meridith Caver of The Polished Pooch and knew she would be able to help. Meridith Caver is amazing. After the first session, Shiner was able to sit. Meridith is great at explaining what Shiner worked on during the day and what we should do at home to help further her training. We have learned how to make Shiner a part of the family, not the master of the house. We still have work to do, and we know Meridith will be there to help us alone the way. Shiner is a different dog since she started puppy school with Meridith. In the mornings when Shiner has puppy school/day camp, she is excited and knows where she is going. When she sees Meridith and Debra, she gets so excited to go and play. I feel very comfortable allowing my Shiner to go to puppy school/day camp w/ The Polished Pooch. The staff cares about your baby, just like you do!

He started to do what she asked of him, like magic, and training me and my girls of what she's been working w/ him on. He went through training every day plus daycare for one month. He graduated and remained in daycare 'till present, every day. I even boarded him for a week while I was out of town. He did great. Becky and the staff take good care of him and when he comes back from daycare, daily, he is TIRED, from a full day of playing w/ the other pups. I'll never forget when he stepped in poop and Becky texts me to let me know that she is going to give him a bath (full bath)!!! He smelled so so good after. My husky is a high energy puppy and I like it very much that he takes all his energy out at the daycare with playing and being outside and when he comes home he just wants to eat, go for a walk and go to bed. Bam!!

Disclaimer: Long review on Rebecca, The Dog Whisperer…read more I cannot recommend Rebecca at Paw Paw's Pets enough! After 10 exhausting months of battling with my dog, Theo--who treated his kennel like a personal torture chamber and barked like he was auditioning for a siren competition--I was completely worn out. We're talking nonstop, ear-piercing, dramatic barking for hours. I'm pretty sure the neighbors considered moving. Then we met Rebecca. Within ONE WEEK of obedience training, Theo transformed. He now goes into his kennel willingly--yes, willingly--and actually sleeps in it like a peaceful little angel. I still catch myself staring in disbelief. I spent nearly a year trying every trick in the book, and Rebecca came in and solved it like she had a cheat code for dog behavior. Her training style is calm, clear, and somehow makes you feel like you can actually do this. She understands dogs in a way that's almost magical. Theo loves her, and honestly, so do I. If your pup is testing your sanity and your sleep schedule, stop what you're doing and call Rebecca. She is the real deal, and Paw Paw's Pets has been a total game-changer for us!
