I took my young rescue Britanny to Deanna at Nelson Kennels for obedience training 3 months ago at…read morethe recommendation of a friend. He is a lovely dog but because he hadn't received enough attention in his young life, had no manners, pulled on leash, wouldn't come if he didn't feel like it, ran away, was generally a challenge around the house etc. I enrolled him in the monthly in-kennel board / training program and took weekly lessons from Deanna with him. I have a changed dog, and just as importantly, during the lessons, I learned the skills of how to control him ! We are now getting tons of compliments about his training when I have him in public, and 2 weeks ago we completed an off leash obedience challenge at the Nelson Kennels Volta Farms training field and aced it. I am so proud of my dog and thankful to Deanna. She and her husband Scott have taken great care with him and have helped me turn his life around. I am going to continue with the obedience training at Nelson Kennels and may even do some show trials with him later this year. It was well worth the investment. BTW - I did arrange for regular bathing and nail trim for my dog at the on-site groomers during his in-kennel stay and was very happy with them.

Anna and Joel were able to work with our extremely short timeline. They made time on our schedule to come meet us and the cats. Anna took notes on all the cats, their feeding schedules, and how we wanted everything done. They even offered to check the mail, bring in packages and handle trash bins if needed. While we were away they provided photos of the cats in the morning and evening. They also took time to give our very shy cats treats and Joel even got out most shy cat to come out from under the bed. When we returned they had left a couple kitty toys dressed up as a bride and groom with a congratulations card. Absolutely recommend them for your pet sitting needs.
