    Perfect family pet

    5 stars First things first I truly wish that I could offer Atlas Working K9s a Thousand gold Stars If you're reading this review it will be long! So, if you're wondering if a Board and Train is worth it. Do yourself a favor and call. Because, if your looking you know you need it! Back to my review, 5 months ago I started looking into a dog trainer for our out of control doodle, yes, totally out of control. So, my husband decides that we should look into a Board & Train program. We're thinking they take our doodle for a couple of weeks then we would have a perfectly trained,obedient, relaxed family pet. Right? Our journey is starting. Called several trainers with either no answer, no call backs, or we don't do B&T any longer or if they do, it's raw food or 100% treat based ( who wants to walk around all day with raw food in their pocket!). (Gross) or the dog must work for his food. We just want our family dog to listen. Was this really going to be this hard to find a trainer? Atlas Working k9s answered the phone and I start with my questions. Annabelle stated that she is a play based trainer ( that was new). We connected over her philosophy on dog training! Yes, finally! ( a sigh of relief) I passed all this new, and exciting information on to my husband. Here comes his list of demands! How much, location, needs to visit facility, list of references, time frame and guarantee!! The usual list of demands from a finance business man! Annabelle, graciously set up a tour, gave us references, a date and time and a price. My husband is tossing all this information around while on a business trip. A week has passed and no decision has been made until I take our, out of control dog, to the dog park!! Bad idea! Let's say I had no control over my dog. I'm running after the dog yelling for him to come to me. He's just running a muck(please tell me I'm not the only person to do this) and I'm yelling and running around like an idiot!!! I called Annabelle the minute I reached home. I'm crying, filled with frustration ready to kill the dog! She gave me some hope! I paid for the Board and Train. I dropped him off a few days later and wished her luck and left! I have to admit life without Winston was nice! However, my family missed him dearly Annabelle sent text and video updates. We FaceTimed a few of his lessons and kept up with him on social media. Winston even made his debut on Facebook for Atlas Working K9s! So proud of you! Week 5 arrived and Annabelle called and wanted to extend Winston's training ( we have a special needs daughter) to work on a few issues pertaining to our families needs. Annabelle put the needs of my family first. Plus, she didn't charge us any extra money for the additional 3 weeks of training! ( who does that?)After 8 weeks we're finally on our way to bring our puppy home! Yay! Annabelle sits us down to start our going home lesson. She taught us how to effectively communicate and to understand his limitations, how to use our new tools, gave us guidelines, a routine and most importantly how to play! Yes, how to play with our puppy! Amazing information! I won't give out any secrets! We refer to our take home folder as Winston's Bible, no joke! I was so worried. Will this play based training really work? Will he remember us after being gone for 8 weeks? After a while Annabelle released our boy and we are greeted with kisses, excitement, jumping into our arms, he was whining and we all had tears of joy running down our faces! It's was pure happiness! Then the real work began when we returned home! We have a very strict schedule with Winston. He goes for a walk 3-6 miles depending on weather everyday. He sits at cross walks and driveways waits for a release word, stays close on main roads. Works on commands the last part of his walk is play and sniffing. We play fetch at the ball park ( his favorite) tug several times a day. He has time on his bed when meal are being prepared, scheduled meal times, outing and goes to work with Dad. We also have greeting rules posted on our front door, is it a lot? Yes, it is absolutely it is totally worth it!! We practice every command every day with our tools. It's getting easier but our Winston is a meatball! I'm sure Annabelle will share some stories of Winston the doodle who wants full credit for half the work! At the end of the day if you want a guarantee you need to do the work with your dog! Annabelle set the foundation for us and gave us the guidelines to follow for an amazing family dog!!! Just a little information - Atlas Working K9s is our trainer for the life for our dog, plus she offers pack socials,always has time for a behavioral question, classes and outing! She never mentions all the little extra things she does for her Board and Train clients! Do the math people it's definitely worth it. This is really a calling for her not a job! From a happy pet owner, John and Annette

    I moved to Anchorage a couple months ago, and I was very worried about starting my 9-month old…read moreFrench Bulldog, Romer, in any type of Day Camp. He had never gone before, and I wondered how he would be socializing with other dogs and being away from me. I have had the absolute best experience with Happy Dog Day Camp! My pup is waiting at the door at 6am to go play with his friends! He is tired when he gets home, and I feel very safe leaving him there overnight. (Sometimes, I think that he'd rather be there then at home. lol) The prices are the best in town, and you can drop-off / pick-up any time. You don't have to have a set schedule, which makes a world of difference as far as my own schedule. The owner, John, is always welcoming, excited, and knowledgeable! The girls who work there are also so kind and ready to greet Romer, even at 6:30am in the morning. I highly recommend this place and tell everyone I know about how great it is. If you have a pup/dog and want him to have a fun day, this is the place for you!

    My puppy died at this facility! Terrible and heart breaking…read more The second day my puppy was at this facility (Happy Dog Day Camp) on Tudor, she was brought to the local emergency vet dead. Equally appalling and unacceptable is that it took the owner approximately two days to get back to me in regards to what happened. It took 15 days to finally find out what happened to my dog and APD had to get involved. My 5 month old puppy was attacked by another dog, and according to the autopsy, died a traumatic death. There are no cameras at this facility that could have put an end to this tragedy. There are no words that can describe the pain my family and I have gone through. If you love your pets, do not board them here.
