Kristie helped us get this under control, so we can now have an enjoyable walking experience with our dog. While we were working on this, Kristie also helped us with some basic command refinements with all 3 of our dogs. One of our dogs needed a little confidence boost, and she taught us how to work with him to strengthen this. Kristie is clear in her instructions to the humans and is patient with answering questions and modeling how to give commands and corrections. She built a positive relationship with our dogs and with us. We have enjoyed the experience and appreciate the changes in our dogs' behavior.

For dog sitting, in our home, we've used Michelle several times now and she is great. Our 3 dogs love her and she clearly loves them too. We have 2 Great Danes and Beagle/Boston Terrier mix who are getting up there in age. Our male Great Dane has a number of health issues and Michelle handles it all so well. There's a laundry list of medications for the dogs and she does a great job keeping up with it all. She doesn't mind when I'm that helicopter dog mom and I check too often on my sick boy. Regardless of his illness, Michelle sends many pictures and text updates on how things are going with all the dogs. As a very protective momma, I trust Michelle completely with my furbabies and home. We love having Michelle take care of our babies... so much so that when we were planning the August trip we just completed, she wasn't available on our original dates, so we moved our trip to make sure she was available. I appreciate the freedom Kristie and Michelle offer us to get away several times a year. I completely trust them. Give them a shot!

When we go out of town we have been boarding him and upon drop off you can see how much care is given, my dog is happy to go back with the greeter and I get the cutest pictures throughout his stay. I have always worried when I'm on a trip but I honestly no longer do because my little Lewis is in great hands! I go out more now with no puppy guilt.

Avecillas Dog Services has been training my dogs for over a year, and we just finished up our…read morefourth round of training with my second dog a couple of weeks ago. I cannot say enough good things about Diego--he genuinely loves his job and animals, and for over a year, he has consistently treated my dogs as if they were his own (which I feel is especially important for those of us with dogs who have unique, more specialized issues). This time around, I came to Diego with a dog who is absolutely terrified of car rides, with anxiety so bad she throws up unless she is heavily medicated before driving. She had been to the vet several times and we were told this may just be something she (and we) would have to live with--that she may never outgrow it--and that medications like Cerenia and Trazodone would be necessary forever. Fast forward, Diego worked one-on-one with her to help bring her car anxiety to a more manageable level & gave us tools to help her do better on longer trips. This is her, out and about on a trip to look for Halloween decorations about a week ago. Still smiling after a 30 minute car ride!! This never would have been able to happen before Diego stepped in and worked with her! My other dog has also progressed substantially with his leash reactivity since Diego showed us the tools and techniques to properly address it. I truly could not recommend Avecillas Dog Services more! It is an absolute MUST for anyone with dog training needs!

I did a search online looking for a local dog daycare for my mom's German Shepherd. This was the…read moreclosest one I could find to her. It's located in Peoria, AZ which is northwest of Phoenix. It is near Bell Road and the 101 making it accessible for people like me traveling from nearby cities. The facility is in an industrial type zone. The building is sort of a large warehouse that is shared by several businesses. The backside has large garage type doors. I only know this because Google Maps led me to the back (south side) of the building initially. The map has been updated to hopefully prevent others from getting lost looking for the entrance which is on the northeast corner of the building. Every Doggie Has Its Daycare has applications online that you can download, print, and complete. The information provided online makes it easy for you to prepare for your first appointment. You'll need the latest copy of your dog's vaccination records including Bordetella. Plus, you will need the paperwork showing that your pet was spayed or neutered. Even though my dog has a tattoo indicating that she was spayed, the paperwork was required. I appreciate that the business has high standards and requests these records. It lets me know that patrons of the business care for their dogs and that my dog will be in a healthy and safe environment. Before allowing your dog to use their services, you will need to schedule a free, 3-hour temperament test. This allows the staff to assess your dog's energy level and comparability with other dogs. Based on this, your dog will be paired accordingly for future play groups. Please note, some dog breeds are not allowed due to insurance policies of the business. While the facility does not offer a webcam remotely or on site, the staff do actively take and post photos of the dogs on the business Instagram and Facebook pages. They post pictures pretty much every hour and try to capture every new dog entering the facility during that hour. Once your paperwork is in order, the temperament test has been completed, and your dog has been approved for services, you can start bringing them to daycare or make appointments for boarding services. Daycare doesn't require advanced bookings. I love that you can bring your dogs in and drop them off at the spur of the moment for a half or full day of play. This is so convenient for those days when you have extra work or maybe aren't feeling well enough to give your dog the exercise and attention he or she needs. My dog needs socialization on a weekly basis. She hangs out with humans daily all day, but benefits from the play and mental stimulation she gets from daycare. She always comes home relaxed and tired from her time at the facility. The facility is temperature controlled so your dog can safely enjoy play during the hot summer and cooler winter days. They do have access to an outdoor area too. It has high walls, so there is no chance of escape. You can pre-purchase packages of half day or full day passes to daycare. So far, I have just been paying as I go which is also acceptable. It's about a $40 saving if you buy the package, but you have to use it within 90 days. They take all credit cards. It's important to note that late pickups will be charged $1 per minute! That's a good incentive to make sure you arrive before they close at 7pm during the weekdays to collect your dog from daycare. I've booked a boarding reservation during the holidays. There is a deposit required during this time period because of the increased demand for services. They ask that you bring your dog's food measured out for each meal in ziplock bags. They provide everything else your dog needs for the overnight stay, but you are welcome to bring your dog's bed or blanket that provides familiar smells and will help your dog adjust easier. Also included in boarding is daycare. There is no extra charge for this ensuring your dog gets lots of exercise during the day so she can get a good night of sleep too. I'm delighted that I found this business. The staff have been super friendly in-person and on the phone. Their website has detailed information so you can get your questions answered, but call or stop by if you need additional information. I'm certain you will get the details you need and feel assured in your decision to leave your furry family member in their care.

Walking her was a lost cause due to her insatiable need to drag us behind her. We fully stopped trying when she was about 6 months old. Until then, a "walk" around the block is all we'd even attempt; it was too much. For her and us - we were all exhausted by the time we'd get home. So, although we taught her the basics: sit, down, shake, etc., we knew when it was time to throw in towel and ask for help. Many trainer reviews later, still feeling hesitant, I saw a family member's posts on her social media page about a trainer she met while walking her dog. We knew we had to get more info. I reached out to David at Kinected K-9 AZ, and we decided to meet up and get a feel for each other and see if our dog would be a good fit for his training. After giving us information about what he had to offer, we decided on his Advanced Training course. After a several long weeks, we've (yes, all of us) graduated! We could not be any happier that we have the tools and extra knowledge to help our sweet girl be the best she can be, while we're trying to be the best we can be for her (and our other pupper). She has made a complete turnaround in the walking department and has even learned new tricks while she was at it! Kinected K-9 AZ has been more than patient with us, scheduled one-on-one meetings, and even had meet-ups with us in group settings to help her socialize. Would recommend to anyone willing to put in the effort with a trainer who is amazing with dogs and their people.

When we got our Dori a 5 mo mastiff back we knew right away something was wrong. The life in her eyes was gone she was scared of every noise every person and every dog. She threw up all night the first night. She was skinnier than she was when we dropped her off. She always slept thru the night with us now she is waking up growling at who knows what. She never peed or pooped on the patio now she is. Which tells me she was not taken out enough. Every morning she would sit with me as I had my coffee she now lays curled up in her bed with a scared face a sad face. They stoled her innocence. They hurt my baby girl. The saddest thing is I paid for this and forgiving myself is hard. I am reminded everytime in the car we pass a big truck how damaged the experience left her, she shakes like a leave from fear. This was not the sweet gentle pup I intrusted to them. I'm not asking for my money because I was deceived I'm asking my lord to bring a reckoning to them. Find someone else to train your dog or take the time to do it yourself. Please.
