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. Rather than using tools that suppress behavior, my approach centers on changing how your dog feels, so they can move through the world with more confidence and less stress. 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. Sessions are available in-home, virtually, or through Zoom, making training accessible no matter your needs.

I'm honestly hesitant to write this review because I don't want too many people discovering such an…read moreawesome spot! Blue Clover Rabbitry in Auburn is truly a hidden gem. I've visited twice for baby bunny therapy, and each visit has been nothing short of delightful. Adriana is absolutely wonderful--super nice and easy to chat with, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. And the baby bunnies? Insanely cute! (Seriously, it should be illegal to be that adorable!) You even get to hold them as they snuggle against you, which is the sweetest thing ever. It's such a unique and relaxing experience. Booking online is a breeze, and I really appreciate that they've added weekday availability--it makes planning a visit so much easier. The last time I visited, in October 2024, the one hour session was around $15, which is such a reasonable price for this special experience. I'm sad I no longer live close by (Instagram photos will have to hold me over for now), but I'll definitely try to include a visit every time I'm hiking nearby. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for something fun, relaxing, and completely adorable!

The process starts with an application. I have owned another Cav so I appreciated the questions she asked. She contacted us first that we made it through application, then again when she had the puppy we asked for (male Blenheim). We then went for meeting to see the puppy. We met not just the puppy, but its parents. All the dogs and puppies looked really healthy and happy. We fell in love with Cosmo right away and made plans to pick up when ready (she likes to keep puppies until 12 weeks). Francena is so well-organized. She had this health pamphlet that had doctor's reports and vaccine records and then gave use a goody back including some food. Then she did such a great job training the puppy--it was already comfortable in crate and very close to being potty trained. We are so happy and we highly recommend HRH Cavaliers.

I need this place to remain under the radar because I don't want all the suites booked out. Our cat…read moreis elderly and we were nervous leaving her for a few days, but Kate took great care of her, followed our convoluted medication and feeding instructions, and made sure she got some "old lady mall laps" in for exercise. The suites are large, several have climbing gyms or outdoor sitting areas, and Kate made an accommodation on our request. When we brought her home, it was clear that being boarded here wasn't the stressful experience she'd had elsewhere. Thanks a million, Kate.

We had to leave our 2 anxious cats with a boarder for a week while we were out of state for our wedding and I could not have asked for a better sitter. The cat rooms are spacious (unlike many boarding facilities who only have a space as small as a dog crate, with no room to run, jump, or climb), they are clean, and have access to individual catios so they can watch the wildlife and farm life outside. One of our cats also needed daily medicine administered and Kate, with her history of cat rescue and years of experience with cats, was more than able to do that for us. She gave us daily updates with pictures and it really took all the stress off our shoulders to have our precious fur babies taken care of so well. Kate truly understand cat behavior and her practices establish a trusting relationship with the cats as well as making sure the scary time away from their owners is as easy as possible for them. Not to mention, her rates are incredibly reasonable. Like, truly, I would have paid double that to get the kind of care that they received. I cannot state enough how much it meant to have someone care for them the way she does. I thought I would have to reintroduce them when we got back to the house, because one of our cats is very anxious and hates change. But their return has been so seamless, I'm only left feeling more grateful. Our cat clearly did not like being boarded because he hates to be away from us. However, Kate made him feel safe enough to avoid it becoming a traumatic experience, because he has not made one aggressive move upon our return home and instead is just asking for some extra love and attention. I can't say thank you enough, Kate

The doctors working here are genuinely invested in the wellbeing of your pets. My own cat (first time cat owner) had to undergo lots of tests to diagnose a chronic illness, and I was in the loop the entire time concerning the costs, timeline of test results, and I was given thorough information regarding her treatment. On the topic of those costs, there was a small mistake regarding a test label, which ended up costing some 50 extra dollars to run through. The doctor paid for it herself, and only let me know after the fact. 3. My family had to say goodbye to an older cat, named Tika. My mom's cat, 18 years old, and she was ready to go. We took her to this establishment to have her put to sleep, and today my family received a card from the Arbor Day Foundation stating that a tree was planted in a forest in need in Tika's memory, by a donation from this wonderful place. Genuinely, Auburn Vet Hospital is going to be my go to place until I move.

I don't mind if a muzzle is used on her if need be or some type of device? She use to be easier to groom but as she gets older she's kinda crankier.. lol She loves people and if someone would be patient with her and give her a chance she would be just fine .. I'm really sad bc her last groomer was able to completely groom her and get her face and nails finished and even some of her ears at certain times; but for some reason she hasn't been able to so I'm wondering if Pet Smart has any capable groomers on hand. I already know the prices - and I expect to pay a little more w/her.. but c'mon people, it's starting to get ridiculous!' With the prices now days in this economy, some of us might have to eventually let our pet's grooming go which isn't healthy. I'm to the point I don't even know what to do... ???
