They are fantastic. Todd took care of our pooches while we…read morewere at Disney. Todd made us feel confident when he stated how mission critical it was for the dogs to be cared for- because we really feel that way too. They need to get out and have some fun too! They had 2 walks a day with lots of treats and love. We really could not do a vacation like this if a service like paw academy pet care was not there to back us up! The pups and I recommend Todd and will definitely reach out to him when we come back!

I met Tai and Lexi at a decoy seminar In April of this year, Tai was the Instructor. Tai is…read moreknowledgeable, precise, and was able to break down the science when it comes to decoying a dog. Since The decoy seminar, I have worked very closely with Tai and Lexi when it comes to obedience and bite work with dogs. Throughout the months, I got to see in person and through their social media pages that they are meant for this profession. They are able to work with all breeds and size of the dog does not matter. I have seen clients walk out the front door with smiles on their faces with their dogs are also really well behaved because of the work that Lexi, Tai, and also their trainer Max does daily. A lot of people always talk about wanting to have more obedient dogs. This is the place to go.

I recently used their services to board my two dogs. They had previously been boarded at another…read morefacility but they were fully booked and Woof Tang, while quite a drive, was highly rated and had the cameras for their rooms that we love to have. First of all the price is great in my opinion. Their facility has plenty of play space and the livery room we got was large. We always want, maybe even need, to be able to check in on them. While on past stays we would look and find them pacing and awooing all night. Something about this place made them zen. They looked out the windows, climbed and snuggled in their bed. We signed up for both of them to get a bath before pick up but due to some error with their system only our little guy got his, which was sad because if we had to pick we would have picked her. For our two dogs it was $115 a day for the luxury suite. When we arrived to pick them up we expected our Dachshund to scream like he does when we come home and our Auggie to go crazy and we were so disappointed when they came up to us like okay cool, summer camp is over? Not one cry or bark, no jumping or crazy tail wags. Next time we hope to board them for training. Our dogs would have required 3 weeks and that just didn't work for us right now.

I had to board my three dogs for the Thanksgiving weekend. This was a location I found that I…read morethought would best be suitable for them. I knew the price was going to be expensive especially since it was happening the week of Thanksgiving. However, I did get a nice discount by showing them my teacher ID which saved me $100 on my total, so that was nice. The staff here seemed pretty nice. I had no issue with check in or dealing with the staff. They seemed knowledgable and friendly. The facility has cameras all over where you can tune in for free via their webcams and see what your dogs are up to when they are at play time. When we dropped them off on Thursday I saw them on the webcam outside hanging out with other dogs. I felt pretty good when I saw my dogs having fun with the other doggies. Unfortunately, this was the last time I ever saw them on the webcams. I was on a cruise from Friday till Monday. I bought the internet package on my cruise specifically so I could check in on my dogs to see how they were doing. I did not have a schedule for when my dogs would be outside for play time to check in on them. Therefore, it was all chance and luck. Well, either I was very unlucky or something fishy was going on. On Friday morning, I logged in at 6 AM and did not see my dogs outside, but did see other dogs outside with one of the handlers. Later on in the day, I checked in again around 10 AM and 11 AM--still did not see my dogs. I continued this process for the next several days at random times, (6, 7, 10, 11, 1, 3, 4, & 5 PM) and I still never saw any of my dogs on any of the webcams. I thought it was really strange though that I kept seeing the same batches of dogs other than my own. On Monday, I came to pick up my dogs. They looked and acted fine, but I still wonder to this day why I never had the chance to see them on webcam. It just left a weird feeling in my gut. On top of that, I only received one report card about how my dog did while I was gone. The responses to how my dog did felt very AI-generated and not personable. So at the end of the day I have no idea what happened with my dogs' stay at Pet Paradise. Hopefully they were treated well and got plenty of time to run around outside and socialize with other dogs because I never witnessed it besides day one.

When looking for a place to board your dog on a Disney day, Best Friends Pet Hotels a convenient…read more option. I have now left my puppy there several times and most of the time she was quite complimentary. There are, however, pluses and minuses, and sadly the minus of my last visit may keep me from coming back. First the positive things. The place appears very clean and well kept. You can view the play areas as well as the area where they walk the pets. They appeared to do an excellent job although I did notice one time the person walking the dog at the time looked as if they would rather be anywhere else but there. When you walk in, there is a front desk, which is somewhat understaffed for the crowd that comes in it about the same time every morning. It varies on how much time you will spend waiting for intake. Every member of the staff has been extremely friendly and the experience at the front desk can only be described as warm and welcoming. My dog is sociable and loved meeting new friends in the lobby. There is an array of merchandise for purchase. Prices are slightly higher than you would pay at some other places. At the desk, you also have the opportunity to give any instructions and leave food, toys, or anything else you would like your dog to have. I must say they are also good at making sure that whatever you leave you also get back at the end of the day or whenever you pick your furry friend up. After check-in, they pleasantly take your dog and the people that do have the personalities that make the dog excited to go off with them. Pick up as much the same with variable lines and taking varying times. Sometimes they give a report card, sometimes they do not. The report card will let you know how your dog interacted with others during playtime. They will also give you details about eating and other things. Yes, I know I've made it sound perfect. Problem was that the last time I arrived purposely leaving time for my pet to eat before playtime with clear instructions on feeding and a package of food for her to eat. Based on my prior visits, I was confident that she would do well. I purposely did not arrive too close to playtime for them to have time to feed her before bringing her to play. When I picked her up, they gave me a report that she ate most of her food and had her usual fun time. It was bot until I arrived back at my hotel that I found that the food I had brought was uneaten and in fact unopened. And when I put food out, she was absolutely starving and ate every drop immediately. I called as they are still open late, but the phone rang and I allowed it to ring for over an hour with nobody picking up. Red Flag 1. I sent an email and got a response by phone the next day telling me that because it was a holiday (it was actually July 3) they were very busy in the morning so started bringing the dogs to play earlier and did not have time to feed her. Suddenly, the picture did not look as bright. Red flag number 2. As they told me that she had eaten, now everything they tell me or right on the report card becomes suspect. While they told me they would pay more attention to her next time, making excuses does not take away the doubts left behind by the discrepancy between what they told me and what actually happened that day. I paid good money, literally around $90 for her to be cared for and to play for one day. I was willing to pay the high prices with the expectation of high-quality. I did not get that. Offering to do the job right next time hardly makes up for doing it wrong that time. Which is why I think I will be looking for other options in the future.

BEST DOG BOARDING EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!…read more There are not enough wonderful things to say about Grammy & her dog boarding business! We took a trip to universal for 5 days, all the way from Maryland. Trying to find a dog boarding business that would accommodate our late arrival time after our 12 hour road trip was few and far in between..and then I found Grammy! Her existing reviews were already extremely reassuring, and then I reached out with our information to see if it would be feasible. She got back to me immediately and was so patient and flexible with our drop off and pick up times, it was truly so easy to book and set everything up! Fast forward, we get to Grammy's around almost 1 in the morning, after driving for 12 hours with our sweet Cherry Tomato! And wow was I shocked, our girl usually can be a little standoffish with entering new places/going into unfamiliar homes...I don't even think she looked back at us once Grammy was there! She got right out of the car and just went straight on up to Grammy and was greeted by the sweetest woman! We were floored! She was tail wagging straight through the front door and it was so reassuring for us! Grammy also kept us updated with pictures every hour during the days she was there! We got to see all her new friends she made and our Cherry just having the best time! We couldn't recommend Grammy more! Overall 1000000/10 experience and I have never felt more peace of mind leaving my baby with someone new. We will absolutely be boarding with Grammy for all of our future Orlando endeavors and I highly recommend you do too! We can't thank you enough Grammy!!!

I talked to John on the phone about the type of training he thought she would need. Just through the phone conversation I learned a lot about what he was able to do for our family but also for my pup. He gave me some advice over the phone that I could start practicing with her. Even though my zip code was a few miles out of what their website says they cover, he still was willing to travel down to my house for training. He has a package of 3 initial trainings(which he says is usually all most people need) and then additional ones if needed. I was looking around at petco/petsmart trainings but they did not seem like they'd be helpful since theres only one person with up to like 5 dogs and the things they were teaching seemed like stuff I could just find online myself. After our first hour and a half of private session and consultation, my little Ellie has shown tremendous( if not the most I've seen in this short amount of time) improvement! I also actually have a structure of a training regimen I can practice with her now until the next two sessions which are flexible in timing. ALSO, he brought toys, treats, and chews for Ellie to use for her training and to keep afterwards! Great surprise! HIGHLY recommend their in home training with John. He has extensive knowledge on training and understands the way dog's minds work and how they communicate which is very important when bonding and training your dog. It is also private 1 on 1 training so the whole hour and a half is all focused on your dog and it's needs unlike the retail store training. It is all positive reinforcement training so nothing negative! I am already confident that this was worth the time and money only after our first session and about as much as I would've spent on the petco or petsmart training! Sure it is half the amount of classes I'd be getting but the quality covers down. Not trying to knock the big chains, but the training just isn't the best out there. TIP: the phone # on their website was out of service as of 5/18/18 so I'd use their contact section to leave a message and they will call or email you back within a few days
