When the weather is bad, they have a nice indoor play area. We have also used them for boarding many times and been happy. It is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. We have used a couple of other day care programs and this is by far the best.

We had a gone through 2 trainers (and thousands of dollars) before coming to Sydney for our…read moreEuropean Doberman puppy. Wish we had found Sydney sooner to save ourselves the hassle and time with trainers who don't know how to handle a purebred working breed. Our boy's main issue was reactivity with other dogs while walking him on a leash in the neighborhood. Sydney trained and educated us by giving us the tools to manage our stubborn, and strong, puppy. We've been going to Sydney for over a year to keep up the obedience and our boy is doing things we never thought would be possible before, such as sitting quietly in a room full of other dogs, and walking past reactive dogs in the neighborhood without incident. Thank you Sydney.

Sidney is the BEST dog trainer hands down!! We have tried other trainers for Ellie and comparing…read moreour experiences, Sidney has changed our lives for the better. He is a retired k9 police officer from Chicago and does REAL WORLD training. No tricks or treats. We first knew of Sidney when we saw him hold classes right outside of the dog park and we thought it would be the perfect training for Ellie. She would get easily distracted even by a leaf or a butterfly and take off. Also, she needed some obedience training. Fast forward, we have been training with Sidney for almost a year and we keep coming back. He knows how to read your dog to bring out the best in each of them. We went in wanting to learn obedience, and we keep wanting to learn more to see what else she is capable of doing. We truly enjoy the time we spend with Ellie in training classes each week and incorporating these skills in our routines at home. Ellie is a very well trained dog and we can actually walk her off leash with confidence that she will not wander off. We have also competed and placed in AKC rally competitions in her first weekend. If you're willing to put in the work with your dog and want to meet other hard working dog owners, come check out Total Control K9 College. We practice at Bill Archer Dog Park every Saturday morning around 9-11 AM and Wednesdays at Preppy Pet parking lot on Highway 6 and Rippling Waters at 7PM - rain or shine. Also, check out his Facebook live videos on the Total Control K9 College page to watch him work his magic on dogs who come in with behavioral issues or with high energy and within minutes he calms them down. I have witnessed this with my own eyes every week... I just can't make this stuff up!

Seven, Doug, and Stacey at The Kn9neVibes Team didn't just train my service dog, Raphael --they…read morehelped transform both of us into a confident, capable working team. When we started, Raphael and I were struggling with public access skills and overall confidence. The Kn9neVibes Team immediately understood what we needed. Their methods are respectful, practical, and customized to both myself and Raphael. They taught with patience, broke skills into manageable steps, and supported us through every challenge. Our progress was undeniable. At our first big event--Houston's Comicpalooza 2025--Raphael confidently navigated through 14,600 attendees. Not only did she stay focused, but she also alerted me to an oncoming medical episode. That moment proved how far we've come. After recovery, we even got to meet Cheech and Chong! If you need a trainer who understands the deeper purpose of service dog work and how to empower both dog and handler, look no further. The Kn9neVibes Team gets it--and they'll help you get there too.

We have since sent her back for boarding since she had such a good time and they work on reinforcement and making sure she stays on track with the program they established for us.

We have an island dog named Balashi that we thought had aggression issues. A year ago, we adopted…read moreanother island dog and Balashi almost tried to kill the pup. We sent her to Shelley and Martin for a 3 week inboard training. They kicked Balashi out after a week saying she was untrainable. The videos they would send us showed Balashi being very lethargic and not herself. Since then, we hired an in home trainer who was able to change Balashi's life around. She is a completely different dog and the trainer did this in 5 one hour sessions. We finally had our happy dog back after this training. We are now able to walk her and take her to public places and she is absolutely great. No telling how Shelmar Kennels treated our baby while there. One thing is for sure, we would NEVER recommend them.

We chose to train our new dog Daisy that we adopted from the SPCA with the 8 basic & advanced…read morelessons and it was worth every penny! Our trainer, Monica, was excellent with Daisy and what I loved most about her was that she would explain to us how she was training our dog and also why she would do something a certain way. A lot of times she would comment about how this reinforces some sort of behavior or would boost Daisy's confidence, etc. At one point of our training Daisy didn't take well to the previous lesson (down lesson) and Daisy wasn't receptive to the next training session and was extremely nervous and jittery. Monica picked up on this right away and instead of just charging through, took a step back to assess the situation and told us that this lesson would be free since Daisy wasn't herself and even considered bringing another trainer in. We were extremely appreciative of this gesture and found it to be very considerate and professional. We were a little nervous starting out the training because Daisy is an extremely sensitive and submissive dog, but at the end of the training (which was today) her confidence levels are much higher and she seems to be a much happier dog!!! Daisy is far from perfect but her discipline and manners are getting better every day and we love seeing her progress and growth. We highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training. We did a ton of research and even met with other companies but we could not have been happier with our choice.

We have been taking our Brittany, Porter, to Pecan Hill for boarding for a couple of years now. Our experience has always been incredible. We live in town and drive out because we love it so much - it is well worth it. Dogs get their own indoor and outdoor space there. Porter is always excited to go - we tell him he is going to camp- and tired from playing and BATHED when we pick him up. The price is incredibly reasonable, especially since it is the most beautiful place and our dog is well-loved and taken care of there. When you pull up, it literally looks like puppy heaven. You won't regret Pecan Hill!

Do not leave your animals in the care of this facility. The conditions are unacceptable--kennels…read moreare old, rusting, and poorly maintained, with loose gates that pose serious safety risks. Dogs are left unattended for extended periods of time, which can lead to injury or worse. While they knew the severity of my dog's separation anxiety, which they said they could train out of her, they did not keep a close enough eye on her behaviors under distress. My dog suffered a severe injury while under their supervision. The explanation they provided--that she hurt herself trying to escape her kennel--does not match the conclusions of multiple veterinarians, who suspect blunt force trauma or possibly being hit by a car. Eight months later, we are still dealing with the aftermath of her injuries, and the facility has stopped covering the ongoing veterinary expenses. This experience has been heartbreaking and has actually made my dog regress in any training progress. I urge other pet owners to think twice before trusting this business with their animals.
