    Capital Area Pups is absolutely awesome. I have had Kris, the owner, take care of my two dogs on a…read morefew occasions. She is extremely accommodating and attentive to their needs. While I am away, I get frequent updates and pics on how they are doing. But, most of all, I know they are being cared for by someone who loves them just about as much as I do. I am very grateful for her service and the safe environment she provides.

    Reliable, affordable, convenient, communicative, friendly, locally-owned, pup-loving business!…read moreMy sweet pup Frida had a really tough time adjusting to my new work schedule and was chewing her paws raw with anxiety every day. I was in search of a dog walker who was compassionate, well informed, and genuinely passionate about taking care of dogs (to soothe both my dog's anxiety and my own!). The trend these days is to use dog walking apps for supposed convenience and many people recommended these to me - but I had a gut feeling that Frida would benefit most from working with a consistent walker - someone who was interested in getting to know her quirks and to form a relationship that might improve her anxiety while I was at work. After just a couple weeks of daily visits and walks with Kris, Frida stopped chewing her paws completely and continues to appear much happier and more at ease when I come home from work each day. As of this month, we have been working with Kris at CAP for almost 3 months. BONUS - her walking on leash has improved immensely too! And in terms of convenience and correspondence, Kris is easy to reach, easy to talk to, affordable, very knowledgeable about dogs and her business, and provides fun photos and updates about their daily visits as they are happening :) Choosing Capital Area Pups and allowing Frida to build a positive, reliable, fun-loving relationship with Kris has improved her quality of life - what more could one ask for in a dog walker!?

    I brought my two yorkies here for grooming for the first time. I chose Elegant Pooch because of…read moretheir good rating on Yelp! (We just moved here, and I rely on Yelp! for a lot of things!) This is a very nice grooming facility. Very open space - as you enter, you will see groomers grooming dogs to the left (behind a short wall) and the receptionist to the right. Staff is friendly, polite and professional. Facility is clean and fresh-smelling. There is a calming climate in the facility - no barking dogs or loud voices. "Julie" was scheduled to groom my dogs. She did an excellent job. Another cool feature - I went with Julie to retrieve my dogs, and they are not contained in cages yet instead, behind individual glass doors that have little (slightly) raise beds in them! When we entered the hall to the boarding area, I loved seeing both of my darling dogs, perfectly groomed, lying together on that little bed!

    Do not board your pet here. They leave your pet locked in tiny rooms in their own urine and feces,…read moreespecially after business hours. The only time they get taken outside is during normal business hours when and if the Kennel Tech is working. I myself have heard the owner tell the nice girl, who is no longer working there, not to worry about going in back to help or let dogs out. The desk is top priority. The prices are ridiculous and I have even heard groomers yelling at the pets on their tables. Megan I believe her name was, poor girl, I swear she lived there. She always took such great care of my dog while he was there. Such great service and care for the pets and clients in my experience. Since she's been gone nothing but terrible service. I would not recommend anyone bring their pet there now.

    Love this place. The girls take such great care of our dogs. I'm not sure I want to give such a…read moregreat review as it is already difficult to get in on busy weekends. Great services all around...daycare, boarding and grooming. Our dogs come home exhausted from playing so much in a day. Prices are very reasonable and the accommodations are more than ample for all canines. This is an example of some recent amazing care. I was just on vacation for over a week in Europe, with limited ability to communicate with anyone back home. Well the day we leave, one dog gets sick and is in the vet trying to figure out what is wrong, ends up on a special diet and meds. I talked it over with Melissa and she said bring him in anyway..."we got this". Over the course of out trip we got daily reports on our pup and when we got home he was doing much better and was on the mend... Now totally fine. Having that piece of mind while away was great this is just one of the many examples of how great they are. I've had 3 dogs who call this place home away from home and half the time they jump out of the car and kick down the doors to get back in. And 2 of these dogs have been going since they were 8 weeks old.

She comes…read morehome looking and feeling great instead of an overtired nervous mess that I see so many animals experience after a kennel stay. Caraway is situated on a picturesque farm. They give the animals a lot of outdoor time and cater to each animal's temperament.

    I have to echo all the rave reviews for Janet and the variety of classes offered through Good Dog…read more Like others have said, she changed our lives and our relationship with our dog. We learned so many important things through her private training and the puppy socialization course. She turned our puppy into our friend who turned into a family member who turned into our first child! Within the first week of receiving our Beabull puppy (3/4 English Bulldog, 1/4 Beagle) two years ago, she began to behave obnoxiously dominant. She would attack my ankles any time we would play, if we tried to hold her down to show our dominance she would NEVER tire of scratching our arms until they were bloodied and bruised, she would do the opposite of everything we asked/showed, and she humped me all the time. There were times that I would cry on the couch because of her behavior, and times my husband confessed that coming home felt like more work than his actual job because of he could never just relax with our dog acting out nonstop. Janet came to our home and made our jaws drop, as her presence changed our dog's behavior immediately. She never lost her patience and taught me how to assert dominance easily. Her guidance rewards good behavior and helped us feel mounds more confident when faced with difficult moments. Our frustration decreased steadily and our pup slowly began to treat us with respect and love. She stopped attacking my heels within a day, and let us hold her down/put our hands in and on her mouth/ears/paws quickly. The humping has stopped over time and she listens very well. I never cried because of my dog after we were helped by Janet. I also recommend so highly the Puppy Socialization class. Aside from our wee one learning sit, down, shake, stay, come and how to walk on a leash better, she made some puppy friends and overcame her shyness around bigger dogs by the end of the course. We were also introduced to the agility/games course which was SO MUCH FUN! We noticed a big change in our dog's confidence and also loyalty to us as we built our bond through training. Additionally, all the staff seems very in tune with each dogs individual needs and never let anyone feel embarrassed or unwelcome because of a misbehavior. Good Dog Training was the catalyst for positive behavior with our dog. I credit the staff and Janet for teaching us how to become amazing parents to our pup and for giving our girl confidence and a conscience.
