Miranda has been so helpful with my new puppy! I noticed at puppy play time around 12 weeks old, my…read moreXena was not paying attention to other dogs telling her to back off (probably bc the elderly dogs at home just let her do whatever). Miranda was recommended to me by another trainer in town who didn't have openings. Boy am I glad I matched up with her! In just a few short months, Miranda has shown me how to guide my girl into making good choices for the situation so she's not just listening to my commands but shaping into an intelligent canine. I appreciate that Miranda has a diverse staff to give exposure/socialization to my puppy. She always makes sure there is a good ratio of people to dogs in day training (note: not "doggy daycare" because they work them!). When I pick up Xena, I get the details of the day: what she did well, what she had difficulty with and how to reinforce at home. Puppy socials are the best (too bad Xena is too big now)! Xena now sees kids and sits her butt down so hard, wagging tail, waiting for a treat. Also, the outings are so good for my puppy to learn being outside around other dogs/people doesn't mean she gets to play play play. In a private with Miranda, she jumps right in to help you figure out solutions to your training problems. She is realistic about what you and your dog should work on to get to the goal you want; adding onto those skills as you both improve. Not everyone wants a dog to jump through hoops. She wants to help you with dog behavior YOU want to work towards; what are you looking for out of your dog training? Miranda will definitely help you make it happen!

I wanted to update my review because we now have a puppy! I immediately thought of Miranda when we…read morestarted thinking about training and options for daycare. She and her team now offer day training which is a serious lifesaver! Who wouldn't want their dog in the best hands ever and also being trained while you are at work?! They continue to impress even as Miranda's business grows. Our puppy now goes to day training on a pretty regular basis and we will start puppy classes soon. Miranda also has a good variety of foods, treats, and toys in her shop and they are reasonably priced which is so nice! Thanks for making it so easy to leave my new puppy with you and your team!!

I left my dog at Precious Pets for a weekend last summer and the result was ANYTHING but satisfying! The place was filthy. You could tell by the smell that they never use the proper sanitizing cleaners, then there was also the fact that my dog developed Clostridial Enteritis while there (terrible bloody diarrhea caused by high bacteria levels.) There are no dividers between the kennels, only chain link fence, so the dogs can see, bark at and pee on each other and get at each other's feces. When I got my dog back, he was exhausted, scared, very THIRSTY and covered in other dog's urine from head to toe. It took WEEKS of antibiotics to get him healthy again after staying at Precious Pets. And it should be noted that he has never gotten sick at any other kennel we have taken him to. I should have never left my pet there and I was so sorry that I did. I will NEVER take my dog anywhere near this place again and neither should you!! Pet parents beware!!

From the owner: My name is Joslyn, and I am a full-time, kennel-free, bonded & insured pet sitter with 9 years…read moreprofessional experience. I board 3-4 dogs at a time. I have a family background of free-range cattle ranching & have raised, loved & cared for a variety of pet species- from guinea to exotic birds. Volunteering at several rescues, and helping raise several puppy litters, I have dedicated most of my life to learning about the spectrum of dog temperaments! I treat pets as if they our own, because in those moments, they really are! I love reassuring and bonding with animals. My effort is making them feel like they are on vacation themselves. I have a learned and experiential understanding of dog behavior. I specialize in a variety of dog energy levels and reactivities, including; rescues, elders, high energy dogs, hunting dogs, and puppies. I monitor constantly for their emotional states, taking note of confidence, over stimulation, and stress. This eye for behavior assures that I am in full control and always know where an emotional state is headed in a pack dynamic. I take away triggers like shared meal times with dogs from different families, with dedicated areas for feeding and bone chewing. Pets from different families are never left alone together. I am kennel free save for in the event that a pup is comfortable with crates, and use them normally.
