We'd sent paperwork in advance re Mike's health/vax records--very reassuring to know your kennel and the staff is organized and available. Mike was smiling at drop-off (he really was) and recognized a few folks. Two weeks later when we came to pick him up, all was ready! And Mike was wagging his tail.

Jagger Scott kept in touch constantly with beautiful videos showing our little boys' progress week by week. Berwyn had confrontation issues in public with other dogs, and people, and now he is calm and poised and responds immediately to commands. The beautiful part,,- in all the videos he is wagging his tail during training, he was obviously having a blast training with Jagger during the training sessions. Jagger is truly our local Austin dog whisperer , and we are truly appreciative of all his work that he did for our little boy Berwyn . This is a really wonderful investment, because for the next 10 or 12 years at least, Berwyn is now going to be able to come to restaurants with us, go shopping at stores and most importantly, go with us to outdoor concerts to watch our son in concert! This has opened up a whole new life for him, he's going to get to go everywhere with us and share life with us, I am so excited and looking forward to the future, thank you, Jagger!

I brought my dogs in to the canine center for a few classes and a private training. Today, our trainer said that to solve my GSD's reactivity on the leash, we just needed to stop letting her go to the dog park. Okay, that's fine to have the a stance about a dog park, but i expect some sort of guide or training if I'm paying for a private session; not just - "stop taking your dog to the dog park." That's not a cure-all. Giving us a scripted answer that the dog park is the root of all evil isn't particular helpful for the situation that we're currently in. Which is truly, she has already learned reactivity on the leash so * where do we go/what do we do from here. * My vet had recommended this place many times but fool me three times canine center! Maybe other trainers are better or a better fit, but I felt like I could have Googled and saved myself $100. Additionally - the website says their recess is their take on day care; the trainer told me it's only for puppies. Too many conflicting message here. This place isn't for me and my fur babies.

This is the best place in Austin for doggy day care and boarding. The people are super caring,…read moreloving, and enthusiastic, and it shows in all interactions.My dog goes to day care as often as possible. Sometimes I've boarded her, which usually causes her to be reluctant the next time we go for day care. Not at Pups and Pals! She is so excited every morning! The daily schedule allows for group play and indoor rest. The staff evaluates the dogs' personalities, size, and energy levels before putting them in a group. Playtime includes best friends, lots of cuddles and kisses, pools in the summer, and always playscapes. They go out anywhere between 6-8 times a day, with breaks in their air conditioned suites. The building is super nice, very new, and the play areas have K9 grass that keeps their paws nice and clean. I especially like that it is hosed every night. BTW there's a groomer onsite! Just a heads up -- it's hard to see the marquis from the 1st street entrance. You really need to know what you're looking for! April and I give Pups and Paws 4 paws up!

He is an EXTREMELY anxious and cautious boy that takes his time when warming up to new people. Not only are they patient with him, but are happy to provide me with updates and notes whenever I request it. To my surprise, Noodle has THRIVED at BHV and has put my mind at rest for my future boarding needs. I am SO grateful Noodle has found a safe second home at BHV. Because of their tremendous 5 star care they provide to their Southern doggo clients, they decided to open up their hearts to even more dogs at their new North Location BHV TOO. Any owner would be lucky enough to have their dog at daycare or boarding for either location, so if you can't get in at the South Location, it's definitely worth your while to send your pet to their BRAND new facility at their North Location!! Thank you BHV team! -Marisa and Noodle

If you're looking for a social call don't expect it, just expect pure service and very reasonable prices. If you have any concerns or questions, advocate for yourself/dog, you have free will. Noticing that a majority of one-star reviews are people who didn't even board their dogs and judge by "hearing dogs barking from afar" (y'all it's a kennel). This guy takes in all kinds of dogs and has such a relaxed attitude because he knows it calms them. I don't know how he does it, but it happens and happens well.

In both instances our dog was injured because a staff member ignored him while he was in their kennel. He heard me at the door and got excited. Like all dogs. But instead of trying to get him calmed down or out of the kennel all together. Instead he's now getting about a dozen stitches. The owner wasn't there at the time. She called and told me that they should have him come in any more. IN OTHER WORDS...ITS THE DOGS FAULT! Are you kidding me. DO NOT bring your pet to Train My Dogs! Period RESPONSE TO OWNER WOW! So if I understand what you're trying to say, this is our fault for continuing to bring him there. If he did pass your "test" you should have said so day one. Don't try and excuse your mistakes by saying you took Walle in in spite of risks. That's not only one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, but it clearly shows you wont claim ANY RESPONSIBILITY for the fact that your staff knew of the risk and ignored it. Stop trying to make yourself feel better at our expense.

They have four different modules that the pets cycle through--school, outdoor playtime, pool/water fun, and naptime. They pair dogs by personality/temperament and size. The people who work at this business actually REALLY do love dogs. They understand them, they like them, they treat them like individuals by helping them where they're at and what they need to work on. We have been super impressed with this place. I love the fact that we get dog obedience with dog play time all in the same day. Our puppy comes home super happy and exhausted! We've tried most of the dog day care locations in and around the downtown Austin area and we are most happy with this place. They are super accommodating for their clients, they have really well-trained staff and they really do what they say they're going to do with your dog.
