    Off leash at Lake Tahoe!! You can't tell from this photo, but there  were a lot of dogs/people, and he was awesome!
    Rachel V.

    We love Doggone!! Our 10 month old German Shepherd, Kai, completed the 20 day board and train - he was a good dog before Doggone, and now he is the BEST dog! He is our first fur baby, and we were very hesitant to send him away for training. He is from a working line, has tons of energy, and is overconfident (had trouble recognizing social queues from other dogs) - which is why we choose the 20 day. After researching board and train options and talking with a few folks who board/trained their dogs, we decided on Doggone (best decision ever)! Their website was inviting and they spent a ton of time answering all of our questions beforehand to ensure we were making the right decision. They also let you tour the facility beforehand - it is well organized, spotless, and spacious. While Kai was at training, we received daily updates, pictures and videos of what he was working on. In short, they went above and beyond our expectations. Kai's recall is now phenomenal. He will come when we call, no matter what. It is so nice to feel confident in your dog, especially while off leash hiking. Knowing how others can perceive his breed, we are extremely pleased with his behavior and friendly, happy, obedient nature. The number of compliments we receive on his obedience is proof in Doggone's program. Malaika (who is awesome by the way!) still connects with us and checks in to see how Kai is doing. We highly recommend Doggone to anyone!!

    Dog gone amazing Gross negligence, bad skin infection, leaving dogs unattended for 15 hours a day, defensive and unprofessional owner. If I could give 0 stars I would. This place leaves dogs kenneled and alone from 5:30pm to 9am, they will deny that, but it's true. Attempt to pick up your dogs during those hours or drop off. Threaten to show up with Reno PD and then it's "I'll pay someone to stay late do you can get your dog". Reasonable deducting will tell you they are leaving the dogs unattended during those hours. They will make drop off work for your money but guarantee it won't be too far past 5pm when the humans leave and the dogs go into crates for 15 hours. Dropped my pristine and incredibly healthy papered AKC baby off for two week board and train, $2800. My dog was there for 6 days before I got word he had a major skin infection, that per the vet they took him to, shouldn't have evolved to such bad skin infection, unless left in unsanitary conditions. They neglected to notice it or treat it and left it to fester and turn into a severe skin infection. Not small, 5 inches by 8 inches according the vet, it became so bad that his skin became infected and per the vet had purulent(puss) drainage and was malodorous. The vet said that he would need anesthesia just to shave the area it was so painful. The owner Maikalea became defensive and unprofessional because I called the vet myself. I did this because it's my right, as well Mailaela isn't a medical professional and she could not answer the questions I had regarding pharmacokinetics of the medication, potential withdrawal and medical rationale for prescribing that specific medication. As an advanced medical professional myself, and my partner, we wanted to know why the vet prescribed such a large dose of a nerve medication with many potential side effects including seizure from withdrawal. As well we wanted to know how his skin got like this. Especially, for what Dog Gone was calling "a bad hot spot" that just "popped up faster than any they have ever seen". Well that's because they don't adequately care for all the dogs they have and leave them in crates where they urinate and defecate for 15 hours unattended. The vet said she was under the impression he had this before, per dog gone. Completely false and I continued to correct them when they would say that, asking where they got that info because both my dogs presentation and vet records show that is a lie. Maikaela could only provide a receipt from the vet, the fact I called the vet set her off into unprofessional, defensive guilt woman mode. I assume she knew she was at fault, and she(her kennel/training center staff) is. If it were caught then he wouldn't have evolved into a full skin infection. I was trying to be polite and play nice so that my dog wouldn't receive the brunt of her anger. Note that he was already isolated from the group at this point and didn't receive any training. I was so angry my partner had to start having interactions with these people because I was ready to flip a table or quite literally a person. I was in Peru and attempted to change my flight to get to him sooner, I couldn't as I was in the Andes traveling to Cusco then getting to Lima to get home and I couldn't return any sooner. In fact my flight got delayed. This was a pet owners worse nightmare. She then tried to with hold my dog from me and only let me have him at her discretion. If I could post the video of the call with the vet, I would in a heart beat. Since you can only post photos I'll post our interactions and the transcription I have from the vet message although there are some errors with Apple translate, you can see the picture. If you love your dog take them to OnCommand or another place where neglectful, defensive, unprofessional hillbillies aren't the main care taker. We are working with our attorney to send letter for full reimbursement and if not met we will be going full speed to court to sue for full reimbursement, further vet expenses we have obtained and pain and suffering. If you treat your dog like family, don't send them here. In fact, run.

    Our Miss Biscotti the Hottie Rottie graduated last night - with honors! We are so proud of her! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sally at Doggone Amazing! It's in the name - Amazing!! She was patient and kind. Very knowledgeable. After only one session, walking Biscotti was a difference of night and day! I very much enjoy taking Biscotti everywhere I possibly can now! Sally was willing to work with us extra on things we didn't fully understand. She made sure we were comfortable with what we were doing at all times. She treated our Biscotti with nothing but love - the whole staff was great! I can't say enough about how happy we are!! The best part - it was fun! For Biscotti and us! Thank you Sally and Dog Gone Amazing Education Center!!!!!

    His first off lead backpacking trip and he did perfect! Thank you, DGA! We will be back for more!

    Absolutely great experience using DGA for our training needs. We put our Goldendoodle in their 21 day board and train and though I missed him, it was well worth it. He went in with basic puppy obedience issues and came out the best dog I have ever been around. We just got back from his first off lead backpacking weekend and he did perfect. He led and explored and fell back never once leaving our eye sight. We are going to continue to use DGA for continuous training and their trek and train classes. We also plan to get another puppy next year and plan to do the exact same board and train program with him. I cannot day enough good things about this group. I am extremely appreciative of them and how they treated my puppy who is a member of our family.

    So glad we made the decision to send our pup to DGA. We were really struggling with leash behavior and anxiety. We signed up for the 20 day board and train. While it was heart breaking to think we would be away from him that long, we knew he was in good hands. DGA would send multiple updates w/ pictures and videos every single day. We got to see our pup and hear about his progress. When he came home, they did a thorough training session for us humans in our home. Since then, my dog has become a great hiking/walking buddy, responds quickly to any command, and has less anxiety around strangers. We were so impressed that when we got our 2nd dog, we took him here as well. They do daily hikes, which is great for all his energy. I highly recommend this place to any dog owner that is looking for some support correcting bad habits. Or anyone looking for a way to give their dog some exercise and fun, in a well controlled and safe environment. Here are some of the update pictures they would send us of our boys.

    Superb experience with DGA and the owner, Malaika. We took our 4-year old dobie for the 10day advanced board and train just to tune up some foundational skills, etc. Not only did they provide an exceptional training experience but they were very accommodating with our pup's food requirements and they also sent us videos or pictures everyday! We plan on using them in the future for their day-treks and further training.

    I will preface this by saying I have not actually used this service. I met these people at a dog…read moreevent. I was very impressed with them. Seemed like they would take great care of my dogs. I called later about boarding. They really push for you to just fill out a form. They will not give any kind of estimate. I understand that circumstances will vary, but a price range would be good. I had a contractor at my home once looking out my window and commenting "all you rich people up here." He way overcharged me and we aren't all rich. Not saying she would do this, I just like to be quoted a price range. She seems to take care of her employees and has a decent business plan. Costs to meet with them, as it should. Where she lost me was asking how long the dogs could be left alone. Well, several hours I suppose. She kinda beat around the bush then told me that all of her Nannys have full time careers. If I am working outside of the house for a full work day, I take my dogs to day care. An 8-9 hour work day and commute, leaves my dogs alone for at least 9-10 hours. How does the Nanny have time to exercise them? She also said that a Nanny can only work for one week. So, if you are gone for more than one week, you would have 2 nannies. Not a huge deal, but two different people in my home is a question mark. She ended the conversation with "fill out the online form and we will see if we have any nannies available." Didn't sound like she even wanted the business and seemed like she didn't have many nannies. I have 2 easy, older dogs, but they need daily exercise. I don't need someone with my dogs 24/7, but I would not leave them more than 6 hours at a time, so just being fed and having someone overnight, is not what I am looking for. That being said, if this works for others, they may be a great service.

    Please be aware of this establishment This is a horrible individual!!! I had a awful boarding…read moreexperience. My dog was mistreated. She left my dog alone for 12hrs In a kennel I saw the hole thing on camera. I couldn't do anything I was on vacation in different state. Had to cancel my plans and return home. Took Dogie to vet cost me $1200.000
