In January of 2026, I started bringing my then eight month old Pit Bull rescue puppy to Fidelis K9…read moreTraining after looking on Yelp for local dog training recommendations. It's been over three months and I can officially say, she has become our best trained dog ever! I am so glad I made the decision. I have never experienced ongoing training that includes classes throughout the week on a flexible schedule. Because of this flexibility, training has easily become part of our routine (we go about 3 times per week). My puppy looks forward to it as do I!  Fidelis K9 also offers Good Canine Citizen (GCC) certification which we are currently working towards.  Most importantly: a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Alejandra and Antonio, the trainers, who I feel are the heart of the training facility. They are knowledgeable, patient and always extremely helpful. K9 Fidelis has given me so much confidence as a dog owner and continues to build my puppy's training (and confidence too). I recommend them without hesitation!

I have used other trainers in the past and this is by far the most progress I have seen out of my dog, Skippy. Before skippy was always pulling on her leash but now is starting to walk by my side. We have done about 3 classes so far and plan to do more! I can't wait to see how much further skippy can advance. Reminder you also have to put in the work. It can't all be on the trainers. :) I try my best to do my dog homework before next sessions.

Althea Canines is a fantastic organization! I am a disabled women veteran and have been involved…read morein owner assisted training with my service dog for the past four years. It's been a huge challenge finding a organization that utilizes positive force-free training. There are so many aspects that I love about the staff at Althea Canines! They are compassionate, knowledgeable, and very accessible to their students and pups. Both the staff and canine trainer- Christopher Hayes welcome new students with open arms. I love that Christopher makes training enjoyable and fun! He has a big heart and helps us students feel supported and takes the time to make sure we understand what our pets are trying to communicate so we can have a strong and respectful bond with our animals. Because of PTSD, I often struggle with anxiety, thus making it difficult to concentrate and absorb the material. Chris and the staff make sure that students are comfortable and always open to two-way communication. I can't say enough great things about Althea Canines! There is an array of training program options available depending on student needs, which is quite rare in nonprofit organizations. These folks are absolutely committed and so giving of their time and energy. I feel so blessed to have a training site and trainers that I can keep coming back to for support and education for both me and my service dog, Dawson.

The facility is very nice and extremely spacious, with plenty of room to meet a dog's needs. They also offer a wide variety of services, which is very convenient if you need multiple things taken care of at once.

The staff loves animals and they really care about their happiness and well being. I love that they offer PAWTIES to the doggies- its an additional charge but you get a nice picture of your fur children and they seem to get treats :D The young man who seems to be the manager is always so friendly and helpful, they always remember my pups and me and they make a visit here feel like an extension of our home. The dogs wish they could come everyday and are super excited when its a daycare day. Will be back and recommend this to anyone who has doggies- both large and small.

Called these guys about getting a sitter for our two dogs while we were away for a week…read more Unfortunately, they were booked up. BUT! Stephanie was super helpful and gave us names of other recommended sitters, as well as providing information on their boarding services. She genuinely seemed like she was more interested in making sure our dogs were taken care of than getting us to spend our money with them specifically. Next time we have more advance warning for our trip, we'll be going with Happy Paws.

He's very spoiled and gets separation anxiety (and me too...) so I wanted the best for him. I was considering Pets Hotel until i found out that they crate their dogs most of the day and barely play outside. Ollie doesn't like crates and loves to be around humans and other dogs. So, I did my research and came across Maisy's Mutts! We did a meet and greet 3 weeks before I had to leave for the weekend and it went great. I felt SO comfortable leaving Ollie with the family and Manni kept me updated every day with pictures which definitely helped with my separation anxiety (LOL!). Ollie loves them and he had so much fun with Maisy and their other furry friend. Manni is definitely my go-to boarding place!!!
