After reading all of the marvelous online reviews, I paid $3000 for the two week board and train…read moreprogram. It took two months to get my dog worked in with the trainer. At that point, I had pretty reliably taught her to sit, stay, and come. What I really needed was on & off leash heel, lie down, and for her to do all of the aforementioned with distractions. I've had my dog since she was 7 weeks old, she is pure-bred pedigreed Labrador Retriever, sweet tempered and quite bright. No behavioral issues! When I came to pick her up after two weeks, she had learned NO additional skills! She would not heel or lie down, and would not come to me when distracted. I return her to the trainer, and expressed my disappointment, that my $3000 was essentially spent on dog sitting. She took my dog back for an another full week at no additional charge. Afterwards she told me that she received NOTHING from her boss for doing this (the franchise owner) and took my dog back simply because she did not want me to be dissatisfied. She made some progress in that final week, but we still have a loooong way to go. I do not fault the trainer! She did her best and took my dog on for an additional week for free. The company is a franchise. She shared with me that the owner is in Greenville, he is not even a dog trainer (she described him as a businessman), and she has never met him. She also shared that she JUST QUIT! Her issue was that 2 weeks is not enough time to train a dog to do all of this things that they advertise. Customers were regularly upset when their expectations weren't met. It takes at least 4-5 weeks to accomplish good on-leash results, let alone off leash. I feel like "Off-Leash" over promised knowing that they would likely underperform. The franchisee relies on internet marketing, and a slick phone call/email/text sales pitch. Perhaps the other training service are good, because the trainer that I met seemed excellent - but with the 2 week board and train, the trainers are set up to fail. I wouldn't call it a "scam" but from my experience, and that of others I have talked with since then, you are VERY unlikely to be satisfied. There are other operations right here in Lexington that will do board and train for 4-5 weeks, charge about the same, and not make any "off leash promises". That seems much more realistic and honest. Buyer beware!!!

I highly recommend!

She asked great questions and took copious notes. Every day we got a timely report and pictures to show how everything was going. Could not have asked for a better experience--especially for such a reasonable price (based on the length of stay each day; we opted for 30 minutes). She also took in the mail, attended to cat boxes when needed, and handled the outside trash cans. Wonderful experience and we will use again!

We always knew how Sadie was doing because Dawn was fantastic with communication and sending photos and/or videos on every visit. Our older dog needed special medication to manage her seizures along with being fed a special diet. Dawn even brought Sadie into an emergency vet very early in the morning on our last trip away because Sadie had difficulty standing and kept us informed every step of the way. If you are looking for an incredibly experienced pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and truly the animals love her (you can tell :) then look no further and book Dawn now! A++++ experience!

We sent our two 10-month-old Lab puppies (aka two baby Gremlins) to Beaver Creek Kennels for two…read moremonths of obedience training. Beforehand, we researched training courses and training boarding facilities within 200 miles as we (of course) wanted to find the best training with four primary drivers: 1. First and foremost, we wanted to ensure our puppies would be safe. 2. Next, we wanted to be sure we received updates on their progress. 3. We of course wanted to be sure the facility did what they said they would do and trained our puppies. 4. And finally, we looked at cost. I'm very happy to report that Cathy and her team at Beaver Creek Kennels checked all the boxes. While it was of course hard to leave our puppies, the weekly updates really helped. When we were invited to visit mid-way through their program, we saw a massive improvement in their behavior. We also got to see how healthy and happy they looked. Our puppies completed their two-month program this week and they are now home. It's a night and day difference! The Gremlins are gone and what's left is exactly what we hoped for - well behaved additions to our family. Cathy and her wonderful team worked hard with puppies, and we will forever be grateful. We are absolutely thrilled with the invest we made!

I have taken my dog to this Columbia SC Vet for a few years now. The two veterinarians appeared to…read morebe nice. However, some of the staff there are not professional. Their kennel is awful. Don't be fooled by the cute pets you see running around behind the front desk area. I have had numerous incidents when I put my dog in their kennel. The staff that are responsible for boarding do not care about those pets. It's not clean. My pet always has a negative experience when he is boarded, and the staff doesn't care. They have gotten my dog mixed up with another dog and thought that was funny. During my dog recent boarding, they didn't feed my dog. I measured his food and snacks, and the food and snack returned back with the same measurements. My dog was boarded for two days. I sent a complaint via email and no one from their staff responded. That's very unprofessional.

We had a geriatric pet some years back, and they actually taught him (an old dog) a new trick while my wife and I were out of town. Now that I have retired from 22 years of active duty military service, I was blessed to be awarded a legitimate (lots of training, and from a good bloodline) Golden Retriever service dog. While she can legally go with me pretty much anywhere in the US, if my wife and I travel to remote locations (such as only accessible by small sea plane/helicopter) due to weight constraints and cabin size, we can't bring our "golden girl". Internationally, some countries don't recognize service dogs as well. So Dog Daze has us covered, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. The only downside is that if you do things last minute, you absolutely won't be able to use them as a resource, because responsible people, who love their dog more than you, planned ahead (sarcasm). On a serious note, plan early, but they can possibly accommodate emergency situations if it's not a busy holiday, especially if your pets shots/vaccines are already in their system. For active duty/veterans they offer 10% off. We really are fortunate to have DD as a Columbia resource, when immediate family or friends aren't able to.

He has assured me that if I ever need any future help with Winston, he will be happy to work with us, so that Winston maintains what he's learned and so that I feel confident with him.
