She trains in the community which is good for the dog. She understands the behavior and gets in their heads. She teaches the owner. She holds a weekly Zoom session.

She also needs an indoor facility for winter group classes. She is an experienced trainer who should expand her offerings.

They did an at home visit two weeks after our board and train and worked with Ozzy in our house and they hold free group classes and online meetings for their board and train clients all summer long to get your dog comfortable with different situations and more comfortable around other dogs and people and answering any questions that might come up. I can't say enough good things about them!

AK TLC Kennels is behind Builders Bargains on the Parks Hwy near Trunk Rd…read more We have 2 dogs (both husky rott mixes) that LOVE going to the kennel here. (Our previous 2 dogs loved going here too as they have a "geriatric" room that is quieter and sectioned off from the main part of the kennel so it's a bit quieter for the older dogs). The runs are good sized, we keep our 2 dogs together in 1 run, as many people do. They get beds that are raised up off the floor, and blankets. I think they will also give them toys to have in the run, but we have 1 that will ingest stuff like that so we skip that part. Debbie and her staff are great with the dogs and are always happy to see them when they arrive. They offer grooming and also have a separate room for boarding cats. One of my dogs has a thing about having his toes touched, so we rarely get to trim his nails at home. We've tried at the vets office too, but someone is usually holding him down and there is a lot of flailing and almost no nail trimming. I asked TLC to trim his nails several trips ago and they said he LOVES it when they do it and has no issues, so now that is part of his trip to the kennel as well. Dogs are taken out to several fenced play yards a few times a day. Mine always come home exhausted. I love TLC Kennel and wouldn't take my dogs (my children) anywhere else.

I have been using TLC kennel for the last year. Last Spring I had a 19 year old Kitty, that passed…read moreaway, while I was gone. Because he was at the end stage of his life, they took special care of him, keeping him basically on one on one care. He passed while I was on vacation. TLC contacted me immediately, and were so amazingly compassionate, and offered to take him to cremation place of no extra cost. Recently, my ridgeback, Ozzie was at TLC while I was in Europe, and they rushed him to emergency vets, due to unforeseen emergency related to his stomach constricting, resulting in a life or death situation. It was recognized immediately, and he was immediately taken vet. His life threatening condition ended well thank you to TLC!! They kept Ozzie in cuddle room after his surgery the rest of his stay, and was totally pampered. TLC are passionate about caring for your pet for their individual needs, and very knowledgeable related to safety. Highly recommend TLC!! You know your in a great Kennel when you arrive, and your pets are eager to be there, instead of, oh no Mom, your leaving me, as your are trying to coach them inside. My 2 dogs love being there. That makes it so much more reassuring leaving them behind.

I have been coming to North Star since they were just a small clinic with two rooms... this is the…read morefirst review I have ever written as well because I think it's important to know that just like football seasons.. you may have a good season or bad season w/your team.... North Sar, as of December 2025 has NOT been having a good season. I have had to go in once a month since then & each time i keep asking myself why i go back--maybe it's because I've been going there for so long i want to keep believing a good change will eventually happen. You are rushed through your apt w/holes of information missing & on top of that mis information is absolutely rampant. I have had to call other vet clinics to obtain accurate information (mat-su animal urgent care off of Trunk is incredible BTW it's a shame they only do emergencies) regarding medications & dietary needs. North Star rushes so quickly to get you in and out, forgetting to record details such as doses or weight (these are two that have happened with me multiple times within the last few months). There is no direction given for scheduling follow up apts for regular injections & you are just kinda left in the dark, until you find yourself calling them to ask because you don't know what to do or where to go from there-- because you aren't being directed. Two times now within 4 months I have had a tech apt when I stay on the lobby & they take her in the back without me; both times were so quick it was hard for me to believe what they actually did back there; only to find out they completely slacked on what they said they did: a nail clipping, which I had to go back again for because it clearly wasn't done, and an allergy injection that didn't work because she wasn't given the proper dose because the weight wasn't recorded the last time and they went with a lower dose & it turned into this huge mess where techs forgot the mg of the shot and tried to go back and write it by memory off of weight which clearly wasn't the right one-- basically just trying to fill the holes in her file with more mis information to cover it up which ultimately led to me needing to come back because the results weren't what they were the previous month--when the shot actually worked. --on an off note to this... while this was happening I was talking to another patient in the waiting room, and she was literally in with her Saint Bernard because of the same exact reason!! I am going into such detail, because people need to know that North Stat used to be amazing, they just aren't going through a good season right now. they overbook, they don't train they just throw new employees in the deep end and it's sink or swim (which leads to more mis information). Worst of all... they just don't seem to care. My dog has severe allergies & I got a hair analysis done--giving me EVERYTHING I needed to know... every time I go in there they deny even wanting to see it; they sold me two products that ended up burning her because they didn't want to take the time to read through--then they tell me they'll need to do more tests to figure out what she's allergic to even though I HAVE the info and have asked them over and over if they want me to send it to them and it's met with a wishy washy answer or they don't know where or who I could send it to. I feel sick about it all.... I am not a negative person... I have ZERO social media so it's not like I get off on doing stuff like this... I am just an honest to goodness person who loves my dog & I feel like a complete idiot for continuing to go back because I KEEP HOPING it'll change and it's not it's only getting worse... it's almost comparable to an abusive relationship.... you've invested all your blood sweat tears (and money in this case) and you just keep hoping at some point the shift will happen and it doesn't. RIGHT NOW....I would say stay away from this place, which breaks my heart to say. it's fallen so far. None of this is personal either, there are the facts of the situation--but it becomes personal to a certain point when your furry family members aren't being cared for they way they should. I have tried to genuinely talk to them about this at the beginning of each and every apt as well--asking what's going on, that they just aren't the same place anymore and proceeding to tell my experiences... all I got was an apology. but zero change within the last 5 months now. Just stay away from this place--for this season at least; maybe next season will be better

They were happy, smiling, and upbeat in a way in which it seems they really enjoyed their work. I cannot speak to the adoption process or costs, but it seems like it would run smooth. They have several rooms where dogs can go to meet and greet with potential adopters. I'm not sure about outdoor spaces or how you have your present dogs meet a potential foster sister or brother. I'll make sure to get clarification on that next time.
