I just walked her today and it was the most fun I've had with her.

ROBS DOGS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! REVIEW BY CLIENT MARGOT WEST…read more We selected Robs Dogs after visiting four local dog training and boarding services and we're thrilled with the results so far! Our dog, Charley, is somewhat challenging as he had a rough start to life, having been found roaming the Phoenix streets, gravely ill and depleted, with a homeless woman who tried her best to care for him. But after getting him healthy, we met with IAN, a senior official for Robs, who then assigned one of his best trainers, JOEL to work with Charley. We are so impressed after only two sessions. Two sessions! We had already tested the waters by used the boarding facility to great results so we were confident moving forward with training. When you know you can leave your baby for several overnight stays safely and happily (even luxuriously in the large, clean dog suites they provide) that peace of mind means everything. All the staff at Robs are friendly, smiling, and clearly happy in their jobs. A great sign! IAN was terrific to work with. He never oversold or over promised. We agreed upon eight sessions to begin with and the price was firmly established. Clear and concise - the way it should be! JOEL is an amazing trainer. He's calm, communicative (both with Charley and with us!) and he's such a kind person. Charley is already easier to manage and is responding well to commands. He's meeting the stated objectives! We're certain all the trainers are of the highest caliber but we can personally recommend JOEL with confidence. You won't be sorry! We highly recommend choosing Robs Dogs for your training and boarding purposes. We even met Rob, the eponymous CEO of this fine community-based business! It was like meeting a celebrity! It's understandable why his employees love their careers! And wait until you tour the facility on Paradise Lane. You can watch the trainers do their thing on the impressive, professional open training floor. It's most informative to witness what your dog will be provided. CHOOSE ROBS DOGS!

Jose and Monique, owners and primary facilitators, provided exactly what I needed: a very…read morecontrolled, no-nonsense, small group environment to assist me, the handler, learn how to engage more effectively with my dog. They are a wealth of knowledge and I successfully implemented many of their suggestions. For example, a "softer" approach to the prong collar I was using, and better timing with the remote collar. I now realize I talk too much to my dog and should use more indirect, non-verbal "pressure" to communicate commands to my dog. Jose and Monique of JD Powerhouse offer a 6-week DIY Saturday afternoon basic obedience class. I enrolled to "refresh" my ability to "communicate with" or effectively handle my dog. I have participated in various obedience classes with my dog over the years, so my dog was somewhat trained. She's a 4-year-old, American Pit Bull Terrier, with no major behavior issues. Although, she did not like when other dogs barked at her (or me) and would react for short bursts until they passed us on our daily walks. Since my dog is a 70-pound, square-headed, somewhat muscular dog, she appeared the aggressor. Jose and Monique increased my confidence and ability to maintain quiet control of my dog during our neighborhood walks. As always, I needed the training, not my dog

I was referred to JD's by a colleague. I am so thankful. I was prepared to hear that Piper and I…read moreneeded all of this work and it would require their board and train but after meeting José and Monique, they quickly instilled confidence in me that Piper and I just needed to improve our communication and some basic skills. What I really appreciate in addition to their expertise, clear direction and upfront approach is that they didn't sell me on what I didn't need. José made it clear very quickly that it would not be the best use of money to board and train my dog, Piper. Instead, he offered me a customized package that would maximize the training and my money. That's badass. I have gone to other evaluations where trainers were trying to scare me into pick the most expensive package by over inflating the concerns I had. I left those feeling overwhelmed both by the price and by the evaluation itself. That is NOT the experience I had with José and Monique and it made the decision to choose them so easy. I highly recommend JD's Powerhouse K9 Bootcamp because you can trust that José and Monique truly care about helping you to be the best owner you can so your dog can trust you and be their best. I am quickly gaining confidence and I can see Piper is too. Also, as a side note, they are amazing humans. They do great work work shelter dogs and I know I've found my training home. Thank you so much to José, Monique and the rest of JD's Powerhouse K9 Bootcamp. You are the BEST!!!

AL has had three or four stays here. Sweet D likes him bathed. He likes hanging with the Pups. He qualified to play nice. I went from minimal boarding $ outlay to the more features. Walks, Pup Scouts, exit bath, nail trim. Food is quality, appropriate rations. Snacks are in the mix. Alta Vista Veterinary is across the street. I find everyone in the Alta Vista Universe caring, concerned animal caregivers. Commuication to me in my travels is timely when necessary. Setting up stays and visits is easy.

He is a high-energy, playful dog, but we've taken him to other daycares without any issues and have always been told that his energy level is completely manageable. I understand that every daycare has different policies and that staff need to keep all of the dogs safe, but it's upsetting to pay for daycare and find out that my dog is spending his time separated rather than being allowed to play and socialize. If they don't feel they can accommodate an energetic dog, I wish that had been communicated to us upfront instead of continuing to accept him for daycare. Overall, I just don't feel like my dog is welcomed or treated kindly here, and that's not how I want to feel when leaving him somewhere that I'm trusting to care for him. We'll be taking him elsewhere going forward. I would recommend looking into other options. I highly recommend Pet Play House or Second Home Pet Resort.

I waited two years to write this review, but I think other dog owners should know about my…read moreexperience before trusting this company with their pets. My dog was involved in a serious incident with another dog while in their care. I was told by 24/7 Dogs that the incident was not my dog's fault, but despite my repeated concerns, they would not allow me to see the video of what actually happened. That was a huge problem for me. If something happens to my dog while he is in your care--especially something serious enough to involve another dog--I believe I should be able to understand exactly what happened. Instead, I was expected to accept their explanation while being denied access to the footage that could have shown me for myself. When I pushed the issue and spoke publicly about my concerns, the response wasn't greater transparency. I was served with a cease-and-desist letter from an attorney. Two years later, that is still what bothers me most about the experience. Dogs can't tell us what happened to them. We depend on the people caring for them to be transparent when something goes wrong. I'm sharing my personal experience so other owners can make their own decision. If you're considering leaving your dog here, I would ask very specifically what happens if your dog is involved in an incident, whether you will be allowed to see available video, and how the company handles owners who question what happened. Based on my experience, I would never trust my dogs to this company again.
