Craig is awesome!…read more We started looking for walker/daycare options when our Vizsla pup hit ~6mos and his puppy naps came to an abrupt halt (and so did our work time). We needed a flexible, professional provider *pronto* and we combed through quite a few options before finding Craig and Bow Wow Ranch. We are so, so happy we did. Craig takes our Vizsla out to Bow Wow Ranch 3x/week. Our pup races to the door as soon as he hears Craig's truck pull up, and he comes home happy and absolutely wiped--we're talking returning home to out for the evening in under five minutes. For anyone unfamiliar with the breed, they're pointers with a famously inexhaustible energy source, and it's an incredibly impressive feat. On the human side, you couldn't hope for a better pup provider. Craig is the utmost professional; he's friendly, flexible, super responsive, and takes a lot of care and pride in his business. He notices when something looks off (intro'd a new food), offers suggestions for training (excited maniac on leash), connects us with other dog owners (for puppy play dates), and sends fantastic and often hilarious update pics (for our piece of mind and entertainment). We're thrilled with Craig and Bow Wow Ranch and you will be, too.

Dogs in Harmony saved my sanity and helped me develop a loving relationship with my puppy! I cannot…read morerecommend the entire staff at Dogs at Harmony enough, but especially Shanni and Brenna. As a first-time dog owner raising a puppy by myself, I was completely overwhelmed. The staff has been with me every step of the way, even helping me decide on a Portuguese Water Dog's temperament to best suit my active running lifestyle. My puppy Yumi, now 17 weeks old, has been through Harmony School from 9-12 weeks, which came with 4 group lessons, and 1 private instruction. She's still going to school once a week to help give me some much-needed relief, and I'm hoping to start private lessons soon after my travel plans. Shanni and Brenna were instrumental during those first brutal two weeks with Yumi. I had major puppy blues - stressed about making sure she was okay, stressed about accidents, and desperate to set her up for success. This stress, combined with virtually no sleep (taking Yumi out every 20 minutes when awake and sleeping near her the first few days to soothe her), was a recipe for doubt and regret. I was that pet parent who would call frantically about any diarrhea or accident, text essay-length questions, and send way too many videos and notes about the schedules and patterns I'd observe, obsess over, and worry about. This incredible team met every single concern with patience, understanding, and practical solutions. The first time I dropped Yumi off at school was the first time I'd taken a break in a week - it was much-needed relief that allowed me to reset and find a routine that worked for me. Instead of fighting against her nature and her age (she's just a toddler!), I learned to work with her and celebrate every victory. The resources and support I received have set both Yumi and myself up for success. Yumi has grown into a beautiful, confident, and sweet-natured pup. She's well socialized, sleeps through the night from 10-7am, tries her hardest to not jump when greeting others, and can now be left alone for 3-4 hours at a time, which has been huge. She's still a working dog with tons of energy, but Shanni has guided me through how to tire her out mentally via shaping, soft chews, increasing difficulty in fundamentals, and teaching me how to actually train my dog. Her guidance helped me learn to see Yumi for who she is instead of who I want her to be, and how to debug and break down behaviors to address instead of treating undesired ones as 'issues' (like barking, digging, or jumping on people). It's been such a joy and privilege raising Yumi, but I definitely wouldn't have gotten here without Shanni and her team - the true village supporting my single pet parenthood lifestyle. Their approach is holistic, compassionate, and incredibly effective. Highly recommend for both new and experienced dog owners!

I was really skeptical about hiring a dog behavioral therapist at first. Part of me just wanted to…read morebuy a training program or send my dog away for professional training so she'd come back "fixed" My French Bulldog, Mango who was 2 at the time, was super stubborn and reactive, and she suffered from pretty severe separation anxiety. She couldn't leave my side, cried the moment I walked away. It was overall super stressful. Josh helped me understand where that anxiety was truly coming from. Turns out, IT WAS ME! He encouraged me to create healthy boundaries with Mango and offered practical solutions, along with dietary supplements, to support her emotionally and physically. I had no idea that excess energy could actually contribute to anxiety in dogs! Josh suggested adjusting her meal plan, and that alone made a huge difference. He also gave me plenty of tips and tricks to help Mango naturally regulate her anxiety. And since his program includes lifetime training, he's continued to guide me whenever I have questions or notice old behaviors resurfacing. Josh reassured me that if I stayed consistent with the regimen he provided, Mango would be okay, and he was absolutely right. She's like a whole new dog now! At 4 years old She can stay home calmly without destroying furniture or becoming overly needy. I'm beyond grateful to Josh for his guidance and to his partner, Nicole, who helped me prepare for our first session. If you get a chance to talk to Nicole, let her know she's an absolute gem! so kind and caring, even behind the scenes!

He is a former education professional and he brings the most humanistic approach with animals while giving a plethora of resources and plan along the way. He showed us tangible rewards within our first session and the most notable moments being my dog behaving as I passed through to grab my cup of coffee and also her manners as we were walking around and with creating ranging proximity to enable her to understand walking versus exploring. Definitely would recommend supporting this small business owner here locally!

She is kind, compassionate and has even been helping me work on some training with my new dog Louie. He has been learning new things so much faster with both of us working with him. She is also super reliable, responsible and flexible. Whenever I've had a schedule change, she's been able to adjust her schedule too. And anytime she's had a schedule change she always checks with me if it's ok to come by earlier or later to walk the dogs. She's been excellent with regular communication through text message and also sends me a Dog Log report every time of where they walked, how far, how long, and she can also add pictures and notes to it, and let me know if anyone pooped. She has gotten some of the cutest photos of my dogs and shared them with me which I love to see. She also has the best pricing, by far, of anyone I have seen online, on Yelp, and on apps like Rover. I highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting or dog walking services.
