Was optimistic with trying out DD after reading decent reviews but I found it a little…read moreuncomfortable that they told me they don't accept your pet's normal food and only give out Blue (unless you have an Rx food)- but I bought into it because I wanted to switch my dog over anyway. While our dogs were there, we got no communication or indication of anything. When my boyfriend picked our pups up, he felt extremely rushed because of the line and didn't get to talk long to anyone about their stay. I ended up calling myself and literally had to "prod" for answers about how everything went. Only got "they did well" and no details of anything. I know no news is good news, but I could've used a little more detail instead of one word answers and me being the only one talking. The icing on the cake was when our dogs came home, the one who was w other dogs got EXTREMELY sick and the other who was in private play caught the bug 24 hours later from the first. We know anxiety poops after change of scenery/boarding/etc. this was NOT that and our vet needed to prescribe antibiotics because it continued to last into a week and wasn't getting any better. Not saying the bug is anyones fault, but it's the last straw I needed to never go back. Thanks but no thanks!

I can't recommend Jonathan enough. Slater is over 100lbs and was so wild I couldn't even walk him…read more I was honestly at the point where I thought I'd have to rehome him. I was super hesitant to leave him at all, but the results were so outstanding that it was 100% worth being apart for the four weeks it took. Jonathan is great because he doesn't do any of that crazy stuff like withholding food--he just took the time to see how Slater responded and used what worked for him. Now, I can actually take my dog out to lunch! Even better, Obie is now my service dog for my epilepsy. Jonathan seriously saved my dog and changed my life. If you're struggling with a big dog, go see him.

I waited a long time to write this review... Jonathan had our dog maybe 6 months ago and he's now a…read moreyear old. I wanted to not just write a simple review but to really be honest and sincere because we researched for months to find the right place to train our pup. Our dog is a German Shepherd - Great Pyrenees mix and while he was doing well at wanting to please, he was super stubborn, guarded our home and WOULD not come back for any recall. Now, now, he's the most well behaved and amazing dog, he comes back 100% of the time with just the word "here" and he can jump up where I tell him, he barks once at passers by, but knows that's all. He can do off leash like a pro, today I took him to the trails and he stayed right beside me off leash the entire time I asked. Right now he's sitting in his "place" as he does whenever someone comes to the door. These are all things I tried training him before we sent him to Jonathan that did not work or stick no matter how hard I tried. Right now, I can open the front door, invite him out, and he will stay with me, if he does walk away, he'll come right back when asked. All of this would not be possible without Jonathan. There are some caveats I would say though. If you read the reviews you'll see Jonathan isn't the greatest communicator, and I won't disagree, he's really a dog person, not a people person, but for the care of my dog I want a dog person; if he was great with me but awful with my dog I'd be pissed. His services are expensive. And it will take longer than expected, so expect to bring the dog food and meds and maybe buy him a bed for being at Jonathan's, but it's very much a trust the process, he tells you up front, but he won't bring the dog home till the dog is ready. The other reason I waited for the review is so I could review the extended care and warranty. Upon his return I was unhappy with my dogs progress and I called Jonathan and he came back to me for another whole session to help. Not surprisingly, I was not doing it right... and the true value of his work is what you put into it after, we have been texting and videos and emails with him for the last six months and he's been able to guide us and has invited us to come back for more sessions to fine tune our concerns. If you just give him the dog and then don't expect to train after, you'll loose, because that's just not real, but if you use the essential and reinforce them you'll have a dog you love to be with every day. He mostly gave us the language to talk to our dog, and now we can work with him with ease. I would suggest if you want to invest in your dog, your life, your friendship and relationship with the dog, invest in Jonathan.

We visited K9 Resorts at their grand opening in Mount Pleasant a few years ago, and have been happy…read morecustomers ever since. We're so impressed by their facility, professionalism, and especially their kind and capable staff. Our small rescue pup has boarded there several times, and she really enjoys it. I love how she gets to play with other small dogs, indoors and out; we appreciate them having separate areas for large and small dogs. They take excellent care of her, even giving her a nice bath on the last morning. Just picked her up after a stay, and she looked happy, fit, and ready for a nice nap. Highly recommend K9 Resorts for taking care of your precious pup.

I'm very disappointed with our recent experience at K9 Pet Resort…read more My dog developed cherry eye while at daycare, and no one contacted me to inform me that there was a medical issue. I only discovered it myself after picking her up. When you leave your pet in the care of a facility, you expect close supervision and immediate communication if something is wrong. Cherry eye is not something minor, it's a visible eye condition that requires attention, especially for breeds that are already prone to eye problems. The most concerning part of this situation was the lack of notification. As a pet owner, I should have been informed right away so I could make decisions about her care. Daycare staff are responsible for monitoring the dogs and reporting injuries or health concerns when they happen. That communication did not occur, and that breaks trust. I hope the facility improves its health monitoring and owner communication procedures, so this does not happen to another dog.

It became very clear that this sweet girl had no training (even her foster mom had JUST potty trained her). Knowing that we had a headstrong, older dog, I didn't think the regular PetSmart/Petco standard training would work. Someone from the rescue recommended Nildan at Z&E and holy cow, she gets dogs! She focuses more on positivity training and getting the dog to do things on their own by playing to their instincts. Even after the first class, our girl was picking things up quickly! For $120, we got 5 weeks of classes (plus a week for orientation- 6 weeks total). For this price, Nildan is the best kept secret in dog training. She offers several different levels of training as well as individual at home training. I highly recommend her-- my dog adored her!!

Recently, I was watching a training session with Russ, the licensed owner of this facility train a…read moredog with a bite history. It was a small mixed breed dog. The dog bit (without breaking skin) the trainer and the trainer immediately picked the dog up by the leash and held it in the air for what seemed like a long time, but may have been close to ten seconds conservatively.  After the dog was put back on the ground and told to sit, it ran from the trainer to the owners. The trainer ran over to the dog grabbed it by the leash and it bit him again. He picked the dog up a second time and was suspended in the air for several seconds. The dog ran away a second time. After retrieving the dog, it was picked up by the leash a third time by the trainer and set on a large box. I believe it bit him again somewhere in the mix because he exclaimed that that was "the third fucking time it bit [him]." At this point I protested, by saying the trainers name -at the time I was so shocked I didn't have words yet. The trainer yelled and pointed at me from across the room to "Never fucking tell [him] what to do". I clarified that, in fact, I had not told him what to do and was hoping he would not continue to escalate the situation further. He went on "not to ever question" his methods. But I very much question this method. The situation was conceived out of trainer error and unchecked emotion, from the extending the dog in the air multiple times to chasing it and grabbing it from behind the owners to even screaming and cursing at me from across the room infront of clients (who, as far as I could tell, were too shocked to speak). As a current client of OLK9, I found this incredibly disturbing. I sent an email to the owners describing my concern for the animals in the trainers care to which I have not received a response in almost a month. Is this what OLK9 stands For? I'm concerned to bring my dog black to this location, but am due for another 2 lessons. The trainer I was working with quit following the incident and there are currently no other trainers at this location. We spent a lot of money on the Rock Star program. Further, I'm concerned for the safety of the animals in this trainers care, if he is willing to display such irrational and ruthless disregard for dogs infront of their owners, how does he treat them when they are not around to prevent the abuse?
