This arrangement was especially for my dog that is a rescued who gets nervous around new environment. Stay & Play was the perfect arrangement I have done for her. Mary texted me everyday about their days/walks and asked if she had any concern about their well being. When I came home, I found my both dogs were well taken care of and seemed to be very relaxed. I will have Mary to take care of them again and can recommend her service without any hesitance.

I recommend Mary to anyone needing care for their animal.

The perfect place for dogs who need more than just daycare…read more We adopted Archer, a feral German Shepherd with zero human exposure, six months ago. He came to us extremely fearful of everything -- new objects, new spaces, even staircases. Our behavioral trainer pointed us to Peaceful Pets, and we are so grateful she did. James and Dana are the real deal. Warm, knowledgeable, and clearly in this because they love animals. Their setup is unlike anything we've seen -- a massive open property where dogs roam freely, socialize, and are supervised by a human at all times. Archer doesn't just get exercise here; he gets to watch confident dogs navigate the human world, which for a dog like him is everything. Six months in, he's making friends, gaining confidence, and thriving in ways we didn't think possible this soon. If your dog needs socialization, training, or just a place to truly feel free -- look no further. Peaceful Pets is the best thing that happened to our boy.

He started with them four years ago in a two‑week board‑and‑train program as a very young dog, and the time they spent getting to know who he is -- and teaching me how to support him -- was absolutely priceless. Because of their help and guidance, Charlie is his absolute best self today. He still goes to daycare, and it's one of the highlights of his week. He knows the routine before we even leave the house, and he can't wait to hop in the car. And when I travel, boarding him with Peaceful Pets Play and Stay is completely worry‑free. I know he's safe, happy, and treated like family every single time. Five stars without hesitation from this long‑time client -- both the human and the dog!

Before my first trip Christine stopped by to meet Minnie and Copper and they just loved her! She's so friendly and very attentive to each pup's needs. :) We went over all of the specifics in person. She sent me text messages with a progress report after every visit. Very comforting. On my last trip (this weekend) Minnie wouldn't eat her first meal on the first day that we were gone. So, Christine pulled out her bags of tricks and was able to get her to eat that afternoon. :) Whew! There's nothing more stressful than your dog not eating while you're away. My pups are always happy when I return home. I can always tell that they've been loved and well cared for. Keeping my pups at home in a familiar environment is comforting to both them and I. Having someone like Christine that's trustworthy, ALWAYS on time, friendly, inviting and attentive makes the situation that much better. She's a true pet lover! Side note: She also feeds my betta. :)

After years of shuttling our dogs to our parents every time we want to travel, my husband and I finally decided that it's time to find a local dog and house sitter. I reached out to Dusty through Yelp and received a very prompt response for availability and to set up a meet and greet. She also provided thorough background checks, proof of insurance, and references (who gave excellent reviews). Her care and thoroughness is very evident. We connected right away during the meet and greet, and my husband and I both felt like we could trust her with our dogs and our home. I provided an extensive list of notes, and she followed them to a T. During our weekend trip, Dusty checked in frequently with updates and photos. I never had to wonder if the dogs were doing okay. Not only did Dusty really care about our dogs' well-being, she also cares about our peace of mind and puts in a lot of effort to relieve our anxieties. I was especially anxious about one of our dog's leash reactivity, and Dusty did a fantastic job managing her surroundings during walks and making sure that they were both safe. Upon our return, the house was in great shape. My only "complaint" is that the dogs didn't seem to miss us at all since they were so busy having fun with Dusty! I got to know Dusty more, and she's an honest, lovely, and creative soul. We plan on being her clients for many years to come.

We rescued a wild and rambunctious husky/shepherd mix named Amber that was about a year old,…read moreaccording to the pet shelter. Although both of us have had dogs before, we didn't think things through, and the new dog quickly turned our life upside down. The biggest problem was that she was chasing our cats everywhere around the house and had terrible manners. We were worried that we would have to return her to the shelter if she couldn't cohabitate with our 4 cats. I scoured reviews on Google and Yelp and came across Primal Needs Behavioral Solutions. I reached out and Blair was willing to hop on a call right away. He patiently listened and answered several questions, then explained he offers two programs; a month board and train or virtual training with Zoom session checkpoints. Although it was an investment, we opted for the board and train for Amber. At the same time, we did the virtual training for our other dog Ginger, a golden retriever. While Blair worked one on one with Amber at his house, we went through the online modules in the virtual program. The program is very detailed, including videos and narratives for each section. Blair was readily available for any questions or concerns we had along the way. The program does use an e-collar and we were initially apprehensive, but once we understood this was simply a tool to get our dog's attention and tried it on ourselves, it was not an issue. Like most programs, you get out what you put in. We did the work, learned a ton from Blair, and made a friend for life, but most importantly, Amber came back behaving like a different dog and the training worked! She is still a sweetheart, but now listens and behaves well. Blair has taught us how to communicate, correct, and redirect our dogs when needed. The transfer training sets Blair and Primal Needs Behavioral Solutions apart from the rest. We couldn't have done it without Blair and highly recommend his training. Jenn & Astin

I was referred to Blair's Primal Needs Behavioral Solutions Virtual Guide Program and purchased it…read morefor $1,249. I appreciated the clear upfront pricing on the website, and Blair himself reached out to me the same day. You'll need a few extra tools (kennel, e-collar, retractable leash, etc.), and Blair provided a full list with direct Amazon links to the best pricing, which made things simple. I shared my goals and my dog's starting point with Blair--my 2-year-old Husky mix (male) loved to jump and pull on the leash. The program is self-paced with pre-recorded videos, required reading, and Zoom sessions with Blair to review progress. The program foundation is a daily schedule. The schedule can be modified to fit your day to day routine like for people who work M-F. I'll admit--I was originally against e-collars. I thought they were cruel. Blair took the time to educate me, and I even tried the collar on myself first. It's not torture--it's a communication tool, and when used correctly it makes all the difference. Blair is incredibly responsive. I would apply what I learned, record myself working with my dog, and send him the video. His feedback and corrections were always constructive and on point. The biggest takeaway: learning how to correct your dog correctly. Once you understand that, you can teach your dog just about anything. Results? My dog no longer jumps or pulls on the leash, and as a bonus, he'll stay in place while I eat meals! If you're dealing with behavioral issues, it's often just a breakdown in communication--and Blair teaches you exactly how to fix that. Plus, his videos are entertaining and humorous. I highly recommend this program. If you take it seriously and commit, it truly works.

Radar doesn't warm up to…read moreeveryone but he liked Jessica after just 15 minutes and rolled over on his back for a belly rub from her. Which is his sign of complete trust. We like that Jessica has a great deal of vet/ animal care experience and has local vet contacts ( we're new in town ) should anything happen. We will be using Jessica for daytime dog sitting twice this week. I will check back and post our experience. So we're three weeks after our second meet & greet with Jessica . We had Jessica stay with him for 4 hours each day once to twice a week. Radar just loves her , he still misses us but he loves having company when we are gone. Plus we like that he is exposed to different people. Jessica was sure to send us pix while we were gone which assured my wife he is being well cared for. Plus she showed us a new ( to us ) way to keep him from pulling so hard on the leash. Thanks Jessica.
