I found PCC after my Lacey was having trouble with Reactive stimulation in the large group daycare…read morewith no training. Not knowing Lacey's background because she was a rescue and had clearly been through a lot, I knew not only Lacey but I needed training as well. We all did. I enrolled Lacey for the daycare program/KT and John came to our home and we started training in her home environment also. We rescued Jenna a year ago and both girls absolutely love going to daycare, boarding, and their training programs. I've learned so much and use these tools at home daily. My girls adore the staff / me too, and I know they are getting the very best care. It's a hike for me but worth it. I'm very thankful for PCC.

I had my first meeting last week with Elsa for my submissive, timid puppy Cal. Elsa was great and…read morevery informative. Within a few minutes Elsa had approached Cal in such a way so that Cal stopped barking and was calm enough to start the training. Elsa instructed me on the appropriate way to train Cal and then watched as I then followed her instructions. I really appreciate her letting me take control for majority of the session and for bringing yummy high value treats for Cal. When the session was over I felt confident in my skills to train Cal. I would recommend Elsa. She is reliable, a fast communicator, backs up her training with research articles, and shows obvious knowledge in dog training. She followed up Cal's session with an email reminding me of the points we went over which was very helpful for my foggy short term memory. I could tell that Elsa genuinely cared about Cal's future and was dedicated in helping me!

My 10 month-old-cockapoo began attending Puppy Love at the recommendation of my dog trainer. I…read morelooked at several places and this was the best fit by far. Leslie Minton who runs Puppy Love is very attentive to each dog's behavior and needs. She supervises their play and activities insuring a safe, fun, anxiety free experience. They have lovely indoor and outdoor play areas with toys and a homelike feel. She worked with my pup's separation anxiety and made recommendations for his length of stay. The location is easy to access from my work in downtown Portland. And best of all Leslie is a wonderful photographer so from time to time you receive amazing images of your pet at play!

I've been bringing my dog to Puppy Love Play Dates consistently now for over a month and he…read moreabsolutely LOVES it. It has everything I look for: an attentive, experienced staff; a clean, new facility; and a welcoming, anxiety free environment. It also has everything my pup looks for: a large indoor play room with toys galore; comfortable napping and resting areas; and a spacious outdoor area to safely run and play. I have no reservations about recommending Puppy Love Dates to you and the puppy you love.

Elsa is the BEST! It was clear within the first ten minutes of meeting her that she really…read moreunderstood our dog Otha, and also understands how to break training down for humans. Her knowledge of dog behavior is so impressive. Training with her was an investment in our relationship with our dog that will last a lifetime! We are thankful to have gotten to work with her, and will definitely book more training sessions with her in the future when we need to brush up on our skills.

Interesting that my bad review was taken out. That says a lot about this company. I'll reiterate…read morethat we were not satisfied at all with Elsa's service. She came to our house once, talked to us for 30 minutes, gave our puppy a knee bone of some kind that my vets don't like, and then proceeded to show us how to teach our 4 month old puppy not to jump on people. Well that works fine in the yard but not so much when we are out and about. She also said she would communicate about our next session but she never reached back out. A month passed and I wrote a bad review and she erased it! That tells me a lot about her work ethic...there is none! Find someone else, it's sure not worth $75/hour!

I had a very bad experience here. I was told one thing and a very different day happened for my…read morepuppy. He was left alone in a crate in a "cabin" with no toys to chew. I was told he would have a playmate, that didn't happen. That cabin is a room with nothing in it. I was told later there was miscommunication about his day. He was traumatized for being left alone and I was charged $80. I got an email that my puppy was spilling his water in his bowl and panting after they told me he swallowed a metal hook that was on the crate they put him in. I am pretty sure all puppies spill their water also why was a metal hook put anywhere near his crate in a room unattended. They double lock the crates so the dogs wont get out for "safety" yet they leave them alone to chew the lock and swallow part of it. They all seem fearful of everything and not experienced with puppies or how to do business. We went over everything the day before what his day would look like. His day was nothing near the plan we went over. They still had the audacity to charge me after all of that. This place is not worth the money they charge not even close. In response to this email screenshot I posted, of course he is stressed he was kept in a crate all day and he just swallowed a metal clip. I told the owner and the shift lead the day before, I don't crate my puppy, they reassured me he would not be in a crate at all. That wasn't true. They could have called me or text to tell me this. Because it was an email, I received it later. They told me because he is not fixed he was kept alone. They shamed me for not having him fixed yet, he is a young puppy! Over all terrible experience. These people are mean!

We are so thrilled to have found The Bark Yard for our dog, Evelyn. We had tried a couple of other…read moreplaces with our older dog who did not want to stay at any of them. She hung out in a corner by herself and clearly did not want to go back. We did not think we would ever put Evelyn in doggie daycare thinking she would never like one either. Then I heard about The Bark Yard from a friend who loved this place-as did her dog. We decided to try it with Evelyn. She absolutely loves going to this fabulous facility. I say facility but really its like a big comfy place for Evie to play with other dogs. The groups are small and dogs are placed together based on personalities, etc Its kind of like driving your young child to school and have them run off with their friends forgetting to turn around and wave at the you, the parent. Evie never looks back. I'd say this is a true sign that she loves this doggie day care for its staff, the other dogs as well as the nurturing environmentshe is surrounded by. Thank you, Bark Yard, I would give you 100 stars if they'd let me. Thank you to all of the staff and the owners. We think you rock! Thank you. Elisabeth
