Our pups have been to numerous daycare facilities throughout the southern and northern Pacific Western states. RR is definitely top notch by far. If we lived in this area it would be without question to enroll our pups (they're out of control yappers (our fault)). Daanaka was so personable and professional each day we picked them up. Other staff members were great as well. Highly recommend RR!

We adopted a senior dog about 4 months ago who is very cautious around new people and unpredictable…read morearound other dogs. He is a great match for our other dog with separation anxiety. We heard about R&R and decided to give it a try for boarding. The company was flexible with drop-off times (due to a typical Duluth snowstorm), saving us a huge headache. At pick-up, Sarah, a trainer, was able to tell us how our two dogs did, and even what their personalities were like in the kennel. This is HUGE for us because we have tried so many kennels where the workers forget our dogs' names or have very minimal interactions with them. When we were leaving, our dog with separation anxiety (who normally runs right out of boarding facilities), rubbed up against Sarah to say "bye". This has NEVER happened and greatly goes to show Sarah's great relationship with the dogs here. THANK YOU Sarah and the rest of the R&R team!

The focus is on improving the owner's relationship and skills rather than saying its the dog who has an issue. Utilizes positive reinforcement through both good treats and verbal cues (I really had to work on being more exciting so I became a high value reward). I learned a lot and continue to recommend Diane and Jim to anybody who has a new dog in their household. Some tricks are taught as a game so you and your dog are excited to do them. I still regularly play the 'come touch' game with my bc and she thinks it's the best. I think it's great because I never have to be nervous that she wont come when called we're at the dog park or on a hike. It is a bit remote, so be sure you are willing to commit to the drive before registering. I can vouch that it's worth the drive!

However, when we went to pick our dogs up yesterday we found that blue ribbon had blocked the driveway to the kennel meaning we could no longer drive up there and load the dogs in the car safely. Instead, we had to drag their cages across a parking lot that has a busy freeway just a few yards away. The Blue ribbon employee told me emphatically "I won't help you load your dogs". This despite the fact that my wife and I are both obviously handicapped and I had my arm in a sling. When we finally got the dogs loaded, they were frightened and I was shaking from the stress. This was totally mishandled on their part and the employee that did it should not have a job there. I don't trust Blue ribbon with my dogs anymore, if they employ people like this and don't discipline them then they'll also abuse my dogs. I love my dogs too much to put them in this kind of a place and I hope you do too.
