We immediately felt comfortable leaving our puppy in their care! On our second visit they already remembered our puppy's name and also mentioned that our puppy's friend was there that day too. We enjoy watching our puppy interact with other dogs on the web cams that are set up for viewing in all the play areas, inside and out! Great idea! We are also pleased that they separate the dogs for afternoon and evening rest periods. Another great idea! Because we believe that playtime interaction with other dogs is healthy and enjoyable for our beloved pet, we plan on visiting camp Bow Wow often!

The staff stated the only thing to report was a "small scratch on his nose"... they obviously are oblivious to what goes on with all the other dogs. I spent nearly $400 on vet bills after getting my dog back and spent nearly $500 for CampBowWow to "take care" of my dog but it looks like I paid them to abuse my dog. Will never recommend this place to anyone! Get a 1 on 1 experience from someone else and keep your dog safe. Absolutely horrified on how they treated my dog. After confronting the owner he lawyered up and refused to give me any video footage of what went on while I was away. Do yourself a savor and don't spend the money for your dog to get abused.

After bringing my 2 dogs to PetSmart for baths and brushing for over 2 years (along with purchasing…read moreitems) i was very disappointed when I went in to drop the dogs off in the grooming salon. i went in with my 2 dogs and was told she would be right with me, there were two people working on dogs and another talking to a gentleman who appeared to be selling them oh his sharpening service. I stood there for a few minutes and listened as the gentleman and woman were talking, one of the groomers even asked for him to leave his card. As my dogs got antzy i walked outside of the grooming center then walked right back in to try and calm my dogs. after waiting 10 minutes i was fed up and told the lady who was still talking to the man, to cancel my appointments. What happened to customer service??? the CUSTOMER should always come first... she could have easily told the gentleman " excuse me one minute please, so i can take care of this {PAYING) customer" but she chose to ignore me. Very Disppointed and wont be returning to this petsmart again for grooming or shopping now.

We did the 3 week board & train program for our Lab puppy recently while relocating to the area…read more Our pup was quite a handful and we honestly didn't know what to expect. However, when we picked him up after the 3 weeks we were SO pleasantly surprised by the improvement in his behavior & how well he was walking on leash, understanding the heel, sit & stay commands! It was obvious how comfortable our puppy was with his trainer (Kyle) such a happy pup!! We continue working with our boy using the tools we were shown & it's nice to know we have additional guidance (included in the training program) from Kyle & his team whenever we need. We highly recommend K Daniel's K-9 Academy if you are looking for someone to care for and/or train your puppy/dog as Kyle is a trainer who genuinely cares & loves your pet like his own while training & teaching them good manners/behaviors!

We have had amazing experiences with ABRT's training classes! From day one, it was clear that they…read moretruly care about both the dogs and their owners. Their positive reinforcement methods made such a difference -- our dog not only learned quickly, but actually enjoyed the process. The trainers are patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They took the time to explain the "why" behind the techniques and made sure we felt confident continuing the training at home. We've seen such an improvement in behavior, focus, and overall confidence. If you're looking for effective, humane, and science-based training that strengthens the bond between you and your dog, I can't recommend ABRT highly enough. Worth every penny!

Our rescue dog turned out to be super reactive toward other dogs and it was totally new for us to have to work with.

It's something we have to constantly work on but we feel prepared that we have the right tools for training now.

I wish I could give them zero stars. Angel Service Dogs destroyed my family's finances and they…read morefeel absolutely no remorse about any of it. They are not only scammers, they are monsters. Please, if you are considering purchasing a service dog for yourself or your child, STAY AWAY FROM ANGEL SERVICE DOGS! At five years old, I was diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder called Tourette Syndrome. This causes a myriad of symptoms, one of the most debilitating being aggressive physical tics. After trying out a cocktail of various medications and therapies throughout my childhood and teenage years, my doctors, family, and myself all agreed on the next step to my treatment plan: Getting a service dog to assist with my disabilities. My service dog was meant to be trained for mobility and psychiatric tasks to help me become more independent and be able to go back to university. Angel Service Dogs matched me with a dog named Wags, a 45lbs black Australian "labradoodle" (AKA fancy mutt), which they originally claimed was actually about 70lbs. At only 45lbs, Wags was much too small to be trained for any of the mobility tasks I require without it being a safety hazard not only to myself, but to the dog as well. Not only was the dog physically unsuitable, he was also mentally unsound. In the short few days Wags came to my home, he tried to attack our other dog Abby twice, tried to attack my brother once, pulled me down the stairs once, and did not perform a single task. He also exhibited clear signs of food aggression, even jumping up on me while I was feeding him because Abby got too close for his taste when she was walking by us, and leaving long, ghastly bruises across my thigh from his fingernails. He pulled extensively on the leash, unable to perform any proper commands including basic loose leash walking. In addition to this, he arrived with a very severe ear infection and was clearly too sick to be working/training, but Sherry Mers, CEO and Director of Angel Service Dogs, insisted that he would be fine and that a proper service dog should be able to work under any condition. It is extremely unethical to force a sick dog to work. After multiple breakdowns and panic attacks over the few days that Wags was with us, and my family contemplating taking me to the emergency room, I forced Sherry to take Wags back. Despite them clearly and obviously breaking their end of the contract, in order for them to take their Cujo dog back, they forced me to send them a phrase from the contract that would imply I was cancelling the contract. I have not seen a dime of the $24,000 they stole from us. When a news reporter contacted them to discuss what happened, they instead directed the questions to their lawyers, being the cowards that they are. TL;DR: - Angel Service Dogs promised me a fully trained service dog. - Instead, they gave me an untrained, aggressive pet. - I forced them to take the pet back so as not to risk my family's safety. - I have not seen a dime of the $24,000 they stole from us. There is far more that I need to say, and far more details to my experience, but Yelp's character limit does not do this horrific story the justice it deserves.

My son has life threatening food allergies. They are so severe that label reading isn't enough…read more When the doctor said we have less and less time to get him to the hospital in time to save his life we started researching allergy sniffing service dogs. We found Angel Service Dogs. Sherry Mers the owner of the company spoke with me on the phone several times and she explained why she has the best allergy dogs, she said that other companies couldn't train an allergy dog that would be safe around school children and a lot of other things like that - her daughter also has allergies so she knows all the right things to say to an allergy mom. So we signed a contract and raised $20,000 for a life saving service dog. Our family and friends worked so hard and sacrificed so much. When we went to the two week training (they call it graduation) we received our dog that we had heard so many wonderful things about "Frost, the Wonder Dog" and when we got her she was very amped up, pulling our arms off, lunging at other dogs and barking - Sherry assured us this was normal during the transition. The dog barked at anyone walking into a room, growled at my 7 year old daughter, was aggressive towards a doctor and we had to leave the office, we took her home took her to a vet who said she has aggression and anxiety and recommended that we take her to a behaviorist we took her to UC Davis Animal Behaviorist (from what I understand top in the world) and a team of them said she shouldn't be around children, she shouldn't be a service dog, and that she should only be in experienced dog handlers homes with no children, Sherry had been telling us that it was our fault the dog had issues and UC Davis said there was no way we could have caused a dog to have issues like that in 3 weeks time. We were devastated.. Sherry immediately blame us. Our friends and family who worked so hard for my son to have a longer life were devastated. Sherry and Brett Mers agreed to replace the dog. They sent out a very sweet but untrained dog, his prey drive is so high he shouldn't have made the cut as a service dog either and he is so stubborn he only detects allergens when he feels like it. After learning more about service dogs I learned that much more reputable companies do a much better job for more than half the cost. Do lots and lots of research before putting your family through the hell we have gone through. Almost 2 years later and we still don't have a functional service dog and my son is scared to eat new foods. We recently found out we weren't alone. http://denver.cbslocal.com/2014/05/14/service-dog-organization-accused-of-selling-untrained-dogs/
