Once again, our dog had a great experience at Bobbi Colorado's (Canine Camp and Kennel). The staff is so welcoming to Mike (dog) and us. 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. Best kennel we've found in 35 yrs of loving dogs! read more

Our little boy Berwyn just completed his 4 week board & train training course. We could not be happier with this experience! 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! read more

Bobbi Colorado's Canine Camp - Pet Training Near Me - Austin, Texas

We had an excellent experience with Bobbi's! When our usual boarding place was full for Thanksgiving, Bobbi's not only accommodated us but also introduced us to their master trainer, Jagger Scott, for a 4-week board-and-train program through the holidays. Jagger is incredible--our energetic lab learned to obey commands, and we gained valuable training tips, like how to tire him out and use treats effectively. Jagger even gave us a 1.5-hour lesson to set us up for success at home. Bobbi's has now become our go-to boarding spot. Whether for short stays (your pup will come back happy and tired) or long ones, their team's love for dogs truly shines. Also, their prices are unbeatable! You will not find better value anywhere in/around Austin. Thank you Bobbi's! read more

Our puppy Ghost attended Bobbi's training camp with their training handler Jagger. We could not be more happy with the results! Prior to the training camp, we had an unruly puppy that we couldn't even walk with because he would jump and pull us non-stop. He would dig holes in the yard, as well as, destroy all of our shoes and pillows. It was really difficult. After training, he does none of these and they even gave us a 2 hour training instruction course. When we found Bobbi Colorados Camp, we were intending to board our husky during the holidays and ultimately met Jagger while doing the tour and decided that the training would be worth the money. Jagger sent regular updates to us of Ghost's progress including videos exclusively of his progression. Jagger made us feel like part of the family and I really enjoyed working with him. He is passionate about training pups and is in the right field! Who knows! You might see a movie animal while you're there - they also train and handle movie animals! We will continue to bring Ghost back for boarding and training refreshers. It won't allow me to post the video of Ghost's training, but feel free to reach out if you have any questions from a patrons perspective. read more

Thanks Bobbi's! Both of our pups loved coming here for daycare. They were excited each time we dropped them off after the first visit and the staff is friendly! We can tell they are dog people. Our dogs wanted to go back today!! Thanks again, we'll def be coming back here! Highly recommend this facility!! read more

Very disappointed - they forgot to feed one of our dogs. We've used Bobbi Colorado's once before, for a 10 day stay. As far as we know that was uneventful, in a positive way. No news is good news, maybe? So full of confidence we dropped our two girls off for a single night stay. Bobbi Colorado's process appears good. At check-in, they have printed out sheets with information for each dog, including how much food they eat. We were able to review the sheet, and we actually had some changes in food quantities since the last time they stayed (different food now), so those changes were noted down diligently by the girl who checked-in the pups. We had measured out their food exactly, dinner and breakfast portions for each dog, and gave it to them in a zip lock bag. When we arrived to check-out the dogs, the gentleman who helped us brought out our zip lock, which had far too much kibble still inside it. We asked if they had forgotten to feed one or both of them, and the response was "I'm not sure", the guy from the night shift wasn't there. The dogs weren't brought out straight away, because we were told they were eating their breakfast. It was just before 10am. This made us think the were only feeding them because we were checking out. So when were they planning to feed them? When we got home we measured the remaining kibble, and it was exactly 1.5 cups. This is the exact meal portion for one of our pups. We'll likely never know what actually goes on at this place, but we are assuming that they just forgot to feed one of our dogs last night. The bar is pretty low for many kennels, but we would have assumed that remembering to feed the dogs would be the absolute lowest standard required to be in business. We won't be taking our girls back here, simply can't trust that they have the processes in place to provide even a baseline level of care. read more

We've been taking our dog, Penny to Bobbi Colorado's for boarding and day play for almost 2 years. Penny loves it there and gets visibly excited when we pull up. She's a large high energy dog so we take her for day play once a week and she always comes up tired and content. The staff knows us and is always happy to see her. read more

We have a golden retriever and a chihuahua and they just love going to Bobbi Colorado. They take such good care of our pups it is the only place we take them for boarding. read more

the staff was incredibly kind when I dropped my pup off. It was his first time here, and I was very nervous. the owner happened to be driving by and reassured me my pup would be fine. He didn't do a great job. Was very nervous around the staff, but I let them know he was more afraid of people than he was with other dogs and to please allow him playtime with them. when I returned to pick him up, they let me know he was very nervous, so they mostly let him keep to himself and he had no playtime with the other pups. He was there all weekend, so it broke my heart to think of him just in isolation the whole time, especially when I told them he loved other animals and would play if the staff would just be patient with him. They told me there would be pictures posted of the pups, and while I saw picture of other pups having a blast, my guy was nowhere to be found. just felt like he didn't get a chance to really enjoy the facilities because he was nervous being in a new place and instead of helping him through it, he was isolated. I have no doubt that this a great place for dogs who are used to being boarded, but not so sure about bringing my guy back here unfortunately read more

It's the worst experience ever. Don't waste your money. They are not feeding pets well enough, my dog came back home sick and had diarrhea for a week after that "accommodating". Beside that, they are promising "training" but it's a fraud. They literally do nothing and charging ridiculous amount of money. Trainer keep texting that she is sick and can't do any work with dog. Also, trainer was perfectly aware that the dog is not eating their food, but it doesn't care her much. Seriously? How can you work with animals if you even don't know such simple things? Filed small court for the fraud, hope the court will help to close this clowns. Long story short - have a mercy to your pets. Don't leave them with that fraud company. No surprise why they have no clients and need to offer their "services" in the Groupon. read more

We've been boarding our dog here for about 6 years. The first time we boarded her here, we came back to get her and there was a dense knot under the skin in her tail, that was totally unexplained. Her tail appeared broken, but didn't seem to bother her. We let it slide since she didn't seem to be in any pain. Fast forward to this year, we picked her up from boarding and she was essentially returned to us crippled. Our doctor told us that this happens naturally with age. But her back legs worked completely fine before we took her to Bobbi Colorado. And now, she walks as if she's been injured in the back. We've never been able to see inside the facility, or see where the dogs are kept. There's no transparency with whats happening behind the scenes here. They run a dog boot camp as well and when we took our dog in for that, she returned completely disciplined, after being feral, but how? There is some black beauty shit happening at this dog boarding facility. She returned a different dog. I'm convinced that someone there pulls tails to hurt the dogs, or control them, and has injured my dog somehow. It doesn't make sense that her back legs / spine would just begin to show signs of severe arthritis instantly and not gradually. I worry about taking her back here. read more

I held off writing a review of Bobbi Colorado because I didn't want it to reflect poorly on the trainers, as this was not their fault. However, I feel that I have to make folks aware who are considering hiring Bobbi for their training services. My dog is a rescue pit. He's not large (about ~45lbs), but he's still a pit. For my pups safety, it has been really important to me to make sure he is as well behaved and well trained as possible. Pits have a stigma and god forbid there be an incident with my dog. Even if he is not at fault, the cost to him could be grave. I have taken him to a dog behavioralist where they noted that he doesn't display any aggression. He was starved to the point of near death before I adopted him. Despite this, he displays no food aggression, nor resource guarding. He does, however, have an issue with excitement. When excited, he jumps up and can get mouthy. I know he is playing, and this is not a behavior born out of aggression. (Adult mouthing and play biting is a well documented behavior which is not rooted in aggression).* That being said, it felt unacceptable to me to have him continue this behavior. He is a pitbull, I get how if you don't know him, his jumping and mouthing is scary. This is where Bobbi's comes in. I spoke with the trainer, Jagger, at the facility, explained my concerns with my dog and the information I had gotten from the behavioralist-- that being no visible displays of aggression, submissive to moderate play style, no dog or human reactivity. I also mentioned that my dog had displayed some separation anxiety. At Jagger's suggestion, I began boarding my pup at Bobbi's in preparation for an extended board and train at the facility. I would take my dog to Bobbi's for short stays to get him acclimated to the kennels, and being away from me. Whenever I dropped my dog off, I explained to the kennel techs about my dogs reason for being there, and some of his quirks. I provided them with trazadone to use as needed. I was incredibly upfront about my dogs jumping and mouthing. I want to shout out Jack and Jared-- they were amazing kennel techs and my dog loved them! Although my dog loved these two kennel techs, this is when I first started to have inclination that maybe something was off with the facility staff. My dog has always been good with his crate. Crate training was the first thing I did with him after adopting. He loved his crate and would voluntarily sleep in it during the day. After boarding, he began to hate his crate and would refuse to go in when asked to. It was strange to me. When it was finally time for the board and train, I dropped off my dog, and Jagger was awesome. Thoroughly explained the program and gave me tons of updates on how my dog was doing. Everything was going great until one of the kennel techs improperly handled my dog while letting him out of his kennel. My dog jumped on the kennel tech and mouthed them (the behavior which sparked my desire for training). My dog did not break skin, but left a bruise. He was subsequently kicked out of Bobbi Colorado's. I had known he had a problem with mouth and jumping-- that's why my dog was there. It felt ridiculous to me that he was kicked out of a board and train program for doing the exact behavior he was there to correct. My dog didn't even make it half way through the program before he was kicked out. Jagger was incredibly kind and went to bat for my dog, insisting he was not aggressive and that this incident was due to the mishandling on part of the kennel tech. Jagger was an amazing trainer and I'm still very grateful to him. But if your dog is anything less than perfect, I would think twice about training with Bobbi's. And if your dog is already perfect, why spend the two grand on training with them in the first place? I also want to just say, although there are a few good kennel techs at Bobbi's, there are not enough of them, and the others seem to be incompetent. My dog would always come back from boarding covered in filth, sometimes smelling like urine and feces. He always had nicks, scrapes and cuts all over his body. I just wouldn't feel comfortable using their services for anything. *Information on adult mouthing in dogs: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/dog-care/common-dog-behavior-issues/mouthing-nipping-and-play-biting-adult-dogs https://www.rover.com/uk/blog/arousal-biting-mouthing-dogs/ https://centerforshelterdogs.tufts.edu/dog-behavior/problems-and-management/jumpy-mouthy/ read more

This place is great! It's so obvious they love animals. We got our dog from the ASPCA about a year ago. Due to that he can be a little anxious. They found a great dog with the same temperament to match our dog so he had a friend. They were easy to work with and I would recommend them to friends and family. read more

I had my 4 year old Red Heeler mix attend the 4 week board/train program here and could not be happier with the results! She's always been an incredibly intelligent pup, but I've had a hard time finding ways to motivate her when trying to train her and, accordingly, had never been able to build a strong training foundation with her. While she was there, she worked with the trainer Becca, who was really able to get through to her in a way that I'd previously been unable to. I could not be happier with my choice to have Indy attend and will be back down the road if/when I need to have her boarded again or want her to get some more training in with a professional! Edit: Also wanted to add that Becca made sure to send me weekly video updates showing the progress Indy had been making throughout the duration of her board/train program, which meant the world to me. I cannot recommend them more if you're in Austin and in need of a trainer! read more

We have a Great Pyranese that has a mind of her own. We were concerned about how she would be being boarded...nothing to worry about. She is happy as she can be visiting Bobbie's and always comes home clean and absolutely no smell. Grateful to find a wonderful kennel like this! read more

I recently took my 9 year old border collie to Bobbi's. He is a very experienced boarder/daycare goer as he has energy for days. I had never been to this business before but based off reviews online I decided to give it a chance. I boarded him for a long weekend, Thursday-Sunday. When I returned to pick him up Sunday he was in a panic, and very unsettled. The typical experience for him is to be tired and happy not on the verge of panic. When i asked the attendant how the weekend went she said, "well I think he had a rough time he ate his bed". This is completely out of character for my dog and is something in our 9 years together I have never witnessed. I asked to see the remains of the bed to see how severe it was, it was practically shredded. During the entire weekend of his stay there not once did they call me and say he might be having some difficulty. If a happy balanced dog comes in to your business to stay then starts to show severe nervous reaction I expect at the very least a phone call to alert me of the issue. This did not happen. In short, having a groupon was great for this place but never again will I take my dog there. read more

Been taking both my dogs to this boarding facility for years. We dropped them off from 11/10-11/14. When I dropped them off the kid who checked them in didn't seem to pay attention to what I was explaining and kept asking me the same question 3 times. Later that day, I called and left a voicemail and I didn't get a call back until 2 days later. When I picked up my dogs, they seemed stressed my pugs testicles were swollen and the skin was peeling. My other dog had diarrhea for days. Ever since Beth left the facility it hasn't been the same, I never used to have any issues. read more

We love Bobby Colorado for our mini Sheepadoodle, Max. He loves it and can't wait to go. We can hardly get him out of the car he's so excited. The staff is warm and caring. They are flexible and very easy to work with. They all love Max and he knows it. The park is big, open, with plenty of room for Max to run. He's usually pretty worn out when he gets home and sleeps well. I would completely recommend this park to anyone searching for a great place to take your dog. read more

Great all around!!! Can't say enough about them. Very easy process....and friendly staff!! And our dog loved his stay!!! We will definitely be back!! Thanks read more

We have an old, bit difficult small dog. She just doesn't like anyone but our family. However, for about three years now we have been taking her to Bobbi Colorado's and she loves it. They take all my suggestions on how to get her in and out of her bed. She sees the same reliable staff and enjoys her stays. She spends 3 to 8 days each stay. We are always very comfortable leaving our dog at Bobbi Colorado's Canine Camp! read more

Love that they post photos of all the pups at playtime every weekend on facebook! They also give great updates whenever I would call in to check up on our dogs! They really love our dogs and love what they do!! Great place!! read more

Several days ago I picked up my 6mo vizsla from 4 weeks of "canine camp" at Bobbi Colorado's and have nothing but good things to say about the experience. Jay texted me every week with updates of my pup's progress and I was able to see how much he was growing by checking their weekend photos. Since getting my dog back from camp, his recall, obedience, and leash manners are like night and day. He doesn't jump, he doesn't pull, and I can finally let him off leash without worrying about getting him back on leash. Would recommend canine camp for any puppy owners looking for a strong base to continue training from. read more

I used to never board my dogs anywhere (I'd just ask friends or family to take care of them), but now I always take my dog's to Bobbi Colorado's! They love my pups so much and always take really good care of them. They know them by name and always greet them with lots of my love. My pups get excited to go every time! read more

Let me first say that I am not one to write reviews- ever. Mostly because I usually am pretty satisfied and not overly critical of businesses. We took our Weimaraner there for a 6 night stay while we were on vacation. They asked if we wanted to bring our own food and for her feeding schedule, which we gave them. Our dog has been boarded multiples times and has never had an issue with the separation, kenneling or eating. Our pup drank a lot of lake water two weeks before her stay so she had just finished taking some de-worming medicine, but she had been 100% and back to normal for several days before we took her to the kennel (we wouldn't have boarded her If she hadn't been) with that backstory, here's the reasons we are unhappy... 1. We called half way through her stay to see how she was doing and whoever answered the phone had no idea what dog we were talking about. I described the breed, what she looked like, her name- nothing. His response was, "Sorry, there's lots of dogs here." Which led to the next issue... 2. When we picked her up her bag of food was basically full. I'd say 3/4 full from what it was when we dropped it off. I called a couple days later because since we picked up our dog she was so sick. Lethargic, vomiting, diarrhea, skiddish, wouldn't come to us when we called her- it's like she was a different dog. So I called the place to talk to someone more in depth. When I asked about the food and if she didn't get fed HER food the managers response was, "Oh yes, that very well could have happened. We had a lot of dogs here and sometimes it's hard to keep track of whose food is whose." They should know how sick a dog can get in a stressful environment eating different food then their own. 3. We took our dog to the vet because she had blood in her stools, and the manager at Bobbi Colorado's said any vet bills that proved it was an issue at the kennel, they would cover. The Dr. agreed that the anxiety she obviously experienced there due to not getting her regular diet caused stress induced colitis. Our dog also had developed an anxiety lick, or hot spot on a paw which they failed to notice at the kennel. Let me emphasize, we have a VERY socialized, friendly dog who has been boarded multiple times with no issues. None. Ever. 4. When I called back to Bobbi Colorado's and they spoke to the employee who primarily cared for her he assured his management that he fed her three times a day and that she chose not to eat a lot of her food. We have a Weimaraner- she'd eat all day if we let her. She has never had an issue eating at any kennel we've ever taken her to. From this point on they became incredibly defensive and revoked the offer to pay any vet bills, but did offer us a free stay in the future. 5. Any quality kennel should call the owner if their dog is refusing to eat, which I told the manager. She informed me that it's very common for dogs not to want to eat while they're boarded, and that she in fact has several dogs that hadn't eaten in days!! Our dog had lost seven pounds from the time we took her in to when we went to the vet. It's not okay. I also was not happy that they didn't even notice that half her paw had been licked raw due to anxiety! Which later on the kennel owners told us was the equivalent to a child coming back from a park with scratched knees. The vet saw it and instantly pointed out an anxiety lick. (Again, she's never done that before...) After a few phone calls with the owner- they finally agreed to pay for some of the vet bills. Although they made it very clear that they believed they did nothing wrong (and they never really apologized to us). I believe that these are nice people and it seems that many people have had good experiences at this kennel, but coming from someone who personally works with elevated customer service issues daily, I'm far from happy with this place. We surely wont be taking our dog back there and I wouldn't recommend chancing a stay there for anyone else. My wife and I are 25, college graduates and working here in Austin (For some context behind the authors...). UPDATE TO THE ABOVE REVIEW: Here we are five months later with recent updates to our experience. We received in the mail a letter from Bobbi Colorado owners asking us to remove our above review; because we were being too unreasonable. We understand we don't know the full experience of what happened to our dog (we weren't there) and we understand that there's two sides to every story. We wanted to share our experience because I would have wanted to know the same from someone else. At the end of the day we experienced little/no positive customer service, but we were instead belittled and told we needed "more life experience" to become more tolerable and understanding. Luckily- our sweet pup is back to her normal happy healthy self! read more

I really like leaving my two dogs at Bobbi's because they get socialized and well excersiced. It's like leaving your kids at camp. They get to run around most of the day and roll around in the dirt which my pups seem to really enjoy. So for the overall pup experience I would give it 5 stars. The only negative ,which is very annoying to me, is their small window of time for pick up and drop offs. I travel a lot for work and have had to find alternative care for them because for example you can only drop off on Sundays from 2-5pm. Or if your flight lands at 6pm on Tuesday then you can't pick them up because you can only pick up until 5:30. I wish they were able to take a certain amount of dogs by appointment only as long as it was made a week in advance or something to that effect. read more

Yaaaaaaaaay!!! Okay, I'll be more specific, because people probably want details, especially when it comes to leaving their dog in the care of strangers. My dog Delilah is decidedly strange and anti-social, so I'm always concerned about leaving her new places. Usually when we drop her off anywhere, whether it's the vet, the groomer's, any boarding place, etc., she comes back to us in a very sullen mood and we can tell she hasn't had a good time. However, when we picked her up from Bobbi Colorado's, she was very spritely and energetic, and she even whimpered a little bit as we were leaving -- she didn't want to leave! So cute. They have a Facebook page where they post videos of the dogs playing, so it was a nice treat to get to see what she was up to while we were away (yes, I'm one of those kinds of people). I called to check on her a few times (only three times, and we were gone for 11 days, tried not to hover too much), and they knew her by name and knew exactly how she was doing. I should add that Delilah incurred a minor injury (broken toenail) before we dropped her off, so we had her e-collar on when we arrived. They took great care of her and made sure she was all healed up before they removed it. She has even been slightly more well-behaved since she got back, and she's playing better with other dogs. :) read more

don't even bother with this company, my dog came back with bites on him and they had no idea what happened

I am sorry for Amanda B.'s bad experience but I love this place! Why? Because my dog likes it. I have been sending my dog there for over a year and every time I head in the direction of Bobbi Colorado's she gets super excited and whines with joy. She cannot wait to get out of the car. Yeah, there have been times I have picked her up and she was extremely dirty or smelled bad, but she was outside playing with DOGS! She consistently sleeps (the deep snoring kind) when I drive her home from this place. I keep my dog there for a month and she was trained by one of their trainers and I have noticed a remarkable improvement in her behavior and she is so very smart! I like this place because they train animals for movies and they spend time matching dogs with dogs of the same temperament. Yes, my dog has come home with scratches, but she was okay...my dog likes to play rough and they told me that. They do offer to bathe your dog prior to you picking them up, but it costs extra, plus they advise you to get Fido on flea/tick treatment as they may get a attacked by these buggers. My dog did and it took months to rid her of the ticks, but I put her on Frontline and all is dandy. The facilities are clean and they have added another set of kennels. I never had the impression the place was dirty but it on a farm, and the dogs play in grass, This place in mot ike the other Pet Hotles in town where they are inside and romp around on concrete. read more

I have two reviews for Bobbi's: one for the boarding and one for the dog training. I will discuss about the boarding first. I could not be happier with Bobbi Colorado's Canine Camp. I adopted my dog, Scout, from APA! about a year ago. She's a lab mix, and she has some behavioral issues like fear aggression, leash aggression, and sometimes she does not play well with other dogs. I found Bobbi's on Groupon in late September, and I'm thankful I did. Bobbi's is much less expensive than other boarding facilities I had taken Scout to, yet I felt it was a much better value! There are several huge yards for the dogs to exercise and play in, and for a reasonable fee you can request a nail trim or bath. The bath was definitely worth the extra fee, as Scout would play so much she'd get really dirty. Plus the shampoo they use smells wonderful! The first thing that really blew me away was during her first visit in mid-October. Scout was very scared upon arriving, and Bobbi's placed her in a playpen by herself immediately. Julia, one of Bobbi's employees, then sat in the pen with Scout for nearly two hours until Scout calmed down and began to trust her. I couldn't believe the dedication to my dog. They really were doing everything they could to make her feel comfortable. Bobbi's is also great at creating small playgroups that are compatible with your dog and their personality/behavior. Scout is not the best with other dogs, but Bobbi's made sure to find some pups that she was compatible with. I usually call about halfway through my trips to check up on her, and I always got a quick response with how happy she was or a new puppy friend she had made. It made me so happy to see that she was doing so well. After a few visits, Scout began approaching the employees on her own, giving them kisses and allowing them to hug and pet her. She grew quite attached to a few employees, and she even allowed the male employees to approach her (she is pretty scared of all males). Needless to say, her social improvement was immense. I always felt that Bobbi's was up front with me as to her progress, how she was feeling, or anything related to her stay at all. I trust them fully and can't thank Bobbi's enough for the transformation in my pup. As for training, if I could award more stars, I would. Catherine Muffat is absolutely amazing. Her month-long board-and-train program was a lifesaver for me. Scout's behavioral issues were greater than I can describe; to put things in perspective she would lunge at people/dogs from across the street, bark and bare her teeth, and wouldn't allow anyone into the house without an hour long introduction. I have grown up with dogs and helped train family dogs, but I had never had experience with an aggressive dog like Scout. Scout also pulled incessantly on the leash. Catherine transformed her. Before I even committed to the program, Catherine met with me and explained the training program. We discussed Scout's issues and how her training might help her. However, Catherine did say that her training wouldn't be a final solution for a dog with Scout's issues, but that ultimately it would provide Scout with the tools to become more confident. In gaining more confidence, the hope was that she would become less aggressive. Catherine was very upfront with me with her expectations about the outcome, and I was very thankful for that. Catherine kept Scout in training a little over the four weeks, and she gave me the extra time for free. Scout was a changed pup when I picked her up in late April. She heals, understands and listens to simple commands, and she is more confident. She rarely barks at other people/dogs, and she is quick to calm down. I can even have people over to our home now with the proper precautions (muzzle and lots of hot dogs). When I picked Scout up, Catherine walked me through the commands, gave me advice on how to continue, and had me schedule two follow-up appointments. Catherine also offers two follow-up appointments for FREE, one in-home and one in the park. Given Scout's unique issues, we had a follow-up in home and also one at Bobbi's to reintroduce my boyfriend with Catherine present. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE APPOINTMENTS! If you're worried about the price, Bobbi's will work with you and even offer a payment plan if you can't afford the price outright. Don't let the price deter you, especially since the 1200 is a lot less than most other dog training programs. We have since relocated to downtown San Diego, a far cry from the quiet neighborhood we lived in in Austin. Scout has adjusted beautifully. She can walk downtown and pass by strangers with absolutely no reaction. I know now that taking Scout to Bobbi's was the BEST thing I could have done. I am much happier, and Scout is a happier pup because of it. Do yourself a favor and take your pups to Bobbi's. Thanks Bobbi Colorado's and Catherine! You are all the BEST! read more

I chose Bobbi Colorado's Canine Camp because they don't discriminate against pit bulls (or any type of dog for that matter) and at $31 per night, I found their rates to be very fair. The $31 per night covers supervised play groups (or individual walks if your dog does not do well in a group setting), medicine administration, and food (though I brought my dog's own food due to his sensitive tummy). Finally, a place with no bs extra charges or fees! I was very impressed by the staff. When checking in my dog, we had a good conversation about what type of playgroup would best suit my dog (in his case calm older doggies) and his special medical needs. As a mom of a special needs doggie, I get super nervous when I have to leave him for more than a day, but I felt good about leaving my dog in their care. The first night he was there he had a seizure, and the staff called to notify me right away. I really appreciated their promptness and honesty, even though it wasn't the news I wanted to hear. They even followed up again the next day to let me know that he was still doing fine, had not had any more seizures, and he was eating well/no diarrhea! When I picked up my dog, he seemed to be in exceptionally good spirits (though he is always a pretty happy boy). I think he had a good time! These people seemed to love my dog, and my dog loves them. We will definitely be back. I recommend Bobbi Colorado's Canine Camp to all my friends and all yelpers :) Tips for a good stay at Bobbi Colorado's: 1. make sure your dog has good flea preventative-- in case you've been living in a bubble, news alert: fleas are BAD in Texas. Texas fleas are even resistant to common preventatives like advantix! If your dog comes home with fleas it is not Bobbi Colorado's fault, it's YOUR fault for not providing your dog with adequate protection. Talk to your vet about using an effective flea preventative like trifexis. 2. I recommend sending food in individual serving baggies labeled with your dog's name. That's what I did, and it seemed to work well. Suddenly switching foods can really mess with a dog's tummy, and on top of being in a new/stressful environment, this is no bueno. 3. Don't send your dog with any precious or valuable toys or bedding-- just like you wouldn't send a kid with anything valuable to camp. It's natural for a dog to destroy or urinate on something they normally wouldn't when they are nervous or in a new setting. 4. Either pay for a bath (they are reasonably priced!) or plan on bathing your dog first thing when you get home. Since dogs have lots of outdoor play time they will probably come home dirty. This is a GOOD thing. It means they had fun at camp-- not that the facilities are old or dirty :) read more

I took my pugs here for a day care to check out the place before leaving for extended vacation. It seemed run down and smelled dirty. My pugs were not happy when I picked them up, so decided to find another place that's cleaner and higher end. read more

I've been going to drop off my Golden & Shih-poo here for a year now and so far I haven't been disappointed. Five Stars all around for this canine camp! First 5 Star - I love how I can call just a day before and they will take my pups, they have availability and as soon as I mention their names, they go "oh, the Golden & the little shih-poo", so needless to say, they know who my babies are. 2nd 5 Star - everyone is so nice! I have had no problems with customer service, I feel the good ol' southern hospitality for me & my pooches. 3rd 5 Star - It's cheaper than almost every place out there! There's one half a mile from them and it was at least 10 bucks more! 4th 5 Star - My pooches are always so happy when I pick them up. I can go on forever but yeah, I give them two thumbs up! read more

I can't believe I've never written a review of this place - I've taken my two dogs here multiple times and have always been super happy! The first few times I boarded them was at the vet - they came back stressed and miserable, so I set out to find a better option. Stumbled across this place via Groupon and have not gone anywhere else since! My dogs don't love the kennel, but I have to travel sometimes and they have to deal. They always come back happy and calm. They keep them together which I think does a lot for their mental state, and the staff is really caring. They also have drop off/pickup times 7 days a week which is really convenient, I hate being home without my furballs. read more

Won't ever board here again. My pug left with neon green fur all under her neck and red irritated skin. The staff was unconcerned about it and couldn't explain why or how it was that way. Bobbi herself got involved and shared the same apathy for my concern and took the stance that I should just take it for what it is and that my "dog wasn't dying". Bobbi herself told me I was rude, dramatic, that everyone has problems, that she's a professional and that I'm one of the only people who's ever been unhappy with her services. This place DEFINITELY doesn't treat your pets like family. And good luck trying to have a coherent or professional conversation with Bobbi. She will deflect it all back to you and tell you why she is so amazing and you are wrong! Super unprofessional with a huge ego. Spent more time telling me how wrong I was than with my dogs...no thanks!!! read more

My yellow Lab, Ivan the Terrrible, went to Bobbi Colorado's Canine Camp for training, since he was getting hard to control. Carol took him through her month-long training, and it made a big difference! The first morning I took him out to practice on a leash, he actually ignored a family of deer that was observing. That is amazing to me, since he previously would have taken off without a backward glance. Thanks to Carol and the rest of the Canine Camp crew for such a good boarding and training experience! read more

We had our friend's dog two weeks training (including boarding) at this place. The dog (60 lbs) was too wild to walk on leash (even for a grown-up man!) since he has never been trained on leash. After training, he has a completely different personality. He can heel (still learning but it is way much better than before), sit and wait for us without tightened by a leash outside. He is much calmer than before and we feel like they draw the best out of him by training. We are very happy about the training place and people. People there were very kind and flexible. Making money is not their primary concern. All they want to do is doing the best job so that dogs would be properly (and positively!!) trained and become a enjoyable company. And their prices for training or boarding is much better than other dog-hotel places with less exercise time... so why chose other ones?? read more

We've been boarding our dogs here for 3 years or so. They are reasonably priced, but they run Groupon deals often which make it a steal. There are a few things that I especially love about this place. They allow outside play time for your dog. They socialize your dog with other dogs if you want. Your dog doesn't have to be fixed which is not the case at most places. I would advise that you make reservations in advance as they do fill up. read more

We have three dogs - one is a little guy with super high anxiety and a history of not being very pleasant to people outside the family. We were looking for a place to board the dogs and found Bobbi Colorado's based on a recommendation from a friend. What a find! They invited our dogs to come for a day-long visit about a week before we were scheduled to leave, just to make sure the high anxiety dog (and we) would be comfortable staying. They gave us lots of tips and tricks for how we could set the dogs up for a calm transition. Even though our pup had a hard time separating from us, by the end of the week-long boarding stay they were posting pictures of our little trouble maker giving kisses to Beth (who was also the amazing woman who arranged the visit and then welcomed us back when we arrived to board them). We will definitely be returning to these awesome, and kind, folks! read more

My dog has visited "camp" for the 2nd time and always has the best time. The staff is so accommodating- My flight was delayed and they stayed open for me so I could get my guy before they closed. read more

Bobbi Colorado's has been our kennel for our dogs over the last 5+ years and we've been completely satisfied with them. They evaluate each dog to match them to the most appropriate play group. They are hands down the best kennel we've used over 20 years of boarding our dogs. In addition, Jay did a fantastic job training our rambunctious lab mix to behave! Highly recommended. read more
