He waits and cries at the door waiting for Thunder. It's been a great experience for us. When we travel, we also reach out to Thunder to board our dog.

We appreciate him and having him in our lives.

Thank you!

I would give Tamara a million stars if I could. My dog Reese is people and dog reactive and very…read morehigh energy. We have worked with trainers to manage his reactivity, and he has improved so much with us - but he absolutely would not let anyone else come near him to put a leash on and walk him. We couldn't figure out what to do with him while we worked because no one could really get near him. We tried 4 other walkers over 5 months and I truly lost all hope - he HATED them all. I reached out to my trainer in desperation, who recommend Tamara. Even after explaining my dogs behaviors and failed walkers, she was still willing to take on the challenge. She came over to meet Reese and just sat on the floor with a million treats until he was comfortable. She then did this for every day he needed a walk until he was comfortable. She has been walking Reese for about 8 months and sometimes he even still has a freak out on her when he has off days. She never gives up on him, she is always patient with him and she even brings other dogs with her to socialize him on walks. Not to mention she has learned his triggers outside and avoids them or manages Reese's behaviors on walks. I do not know what we would do without her. I never would have imagined that Reese and her could be besties now - she even came to his birthday party. If you have a reactive dog, I would not trust anyone else walking them besides Tamara.

I have a large golden retriever who can be very specific in his needs. Tamara and her crew know exactly how to handle him and make sure he gets his walks. I also used Pets for a weekend dog sitter.

My dog is incredibly trained and so well behaved. People would ask me in wonderment 'how is your dog so well mannered??' and it's all because of Cindy.

Some Boarders require more than this facility. It's a large inside Boarding and Day Camp facility, located in Oak Park on the North East corner of Lyman & Roosevelt Rd. Plenty of free street parking , make sure to read the signs. Camp Theme, log cabin style, super cute! Nice design and logo! Day Care is $37 for more than 6hrs, and $24 for less than 6hrs of care. It's $55 for boarding and an Extra $7 added for PEAK Times; holiday times. For multiple dogs that can sleep together, there is a discount. There is a noise restriction in Oak Park, so there is no outside play ground at this facility. This group "Camp Bow Wow" does have several locations. They do have 2 large indoor yards for Big Dogs & 1 yard for Smaller Dogs. A deposit is Required for Boarding, so make sure to ask all the necessary questions. They do have maximum capacities, and were very busy when I stopped in. Brianna was very pleasant and helpful. They have folders available with the Daily Schedule for Camp. Located in a busy area, just East of the Dollar Tree, Pete's & Lucky Dogs for fast food. Walgreens just West. Plenty of Gas stations nearby , as well as Dispensary just a block East.

They want an influenza vaccination, but my dog gets sick with her vaccinations and that one is not required by anyone else. I'm not going to risk her getting sick. I also couldn't take her to this kennel when she was less than a year old, because they required her to be spayed before the doctor recommended it. The doctor wanted her to wait until she had her first cycle, but this location required it even before that. I appreciate that they care about the health of the dogs, but I don't know how they can require things that go against the veterinarians recommendation. Very disappointing- we would like to be regular clients.

Due to COVID, we took the class virtually, and it didn't seem to matter at all.

She's compassionate, dedicated, and seems to truly understand dogs' motivations and emotions and how to train accordingly. Harriet and I have made tons of progress - we can get through 4/5 walks with little to no reactivity, which is a huge victory in just a couple of months. I'm looking forward to training with Megan again when we're ready to move on to more advanced skills!
