First things first, I want to say that Jackie definitely seems to know what she's doing. She…read morehandles everything positively, and never forgets to reward the dogs when they deserve it. When leaving your dog at the kennel, she will let them play with others that she feels your dog would be compatible with, and even lets them play on her agility course. I couldn't have been happier with having my dog stay there. That said, she isn't the greatest at people skills. Every time I have met with her, she focuses on pointing out the flaws of the owner. It makes sense, since we are the ones who raise our dogs and teach them what/what not to do. She seems to have little care for the owners. She always told us we were wrong, even when we would do what seemed right. She won't let you call your dog's name (since it will just wear out the effect), and she absolutely will not let you say no to your dog. While I love positivity, I think that sometimes you need to scold your dog for them to listen. Ultimately, it's up to you. She has been in the business for years, and knows how to train dogs very well. Like I said, it's her people skills that need help.

And honestly, through the years I've boarded my dogs at various places in two states and have never been happy with any of them. Long story short, if I couldn't board my pup at Critter Keepers, I'm cancelling my trip. Great place!

I thank them for putting me at ease during our visit.

I drove 3 hours from Sac to come here because of the great dogs they have, the mission of the non-profit, and the friendliness of the staff who actually wanted to adopt out the dogs! After spending weeks looking at the shelter and rescue pages of the groups in my immediate area, I settle on HSAR because it felt like those dogs needed it a little more and for the aforementioned reasons. $100 adoption fee + $100 deposit (refundable after obedience training is complete). Puppy package was great and they even have weird little country events throughout the year (Perfectly Portola). Can't speak highly enough of this group. Check out their dogs on the site if you are looking to break out an inmate.

Madi communicates clearly, handles everything with care, and charges fair rates. She's a total gem, and we're so grateful to have found her!

If your dog could write a review, they'd give Donner Dogs six paws up!…read more Madi at Donner Dogs in Truckee is basically a dog whisperer, adventure guide, and cuddle expert all in one. She treats every pup like her own, which is saying something, because my dog is literally soooo spoiled. Whether it's dog walking or boarding, she goes above and beyond to make sure your furry friend is happy, safe, and having the best time ever. Need someone to take your dog on an epic Tahoe adventure? Madi's got it covered. Want to make sure your pup gets more attention than you do at home? Also covered. Honestly, I'm pretty sure some dogs leave her care wondering if they can trade humans. If you want your dog to have the best time while you're away (or just too busy to give them the adventure they deserve), Donner Dogs is the place. Just be warned--your pup might come home looking at you like, "So, when do I get to go back?"

We brought our golden retriever to Sierra K9 Academy because we were having a very difficult time…read moreat home. He had become aggressive toward one of our other dogs, which was creating a great deal of stress and tension in our household. In addition, he was not consistently responding to basic commands, making the situation even more challenging to manage safely. Bill took the time to understand exactly what was happening and provided us with clear, practical guidance on how to address our dog's behavior. Through his training, our dog became much more responsive to commands, calmer in the home, and easier to manage around our other dogs. We saw a noticeable improvement not only in his obedience, but also in his overall behavior and temperament. After the two week board-and-train program was complete, we also continued with weekly sessions for additional training and support. Those follow-up sessions were incredibly valuable in reinforcing what our dog had learned, answering our questions, and helping us stay consistent at home. That ongoing guidance made a meaningful difference in maintaining his progress and continuing to build better behavior over time. What stood out to us just as much was how passionate and knowledgeable Bill is about training. It is clear that he genuinely cares about helping both dogs and their owners succeed, and he brings a great deal of experience and understanding to the process. He was patient, confident, and always willing to explain the reasoning behind the training, which made us feel comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the entire experience.

I also want to share how impressed I am with Bill's ongoing support. After making great progress,…read moreone of my dogs had a setback and took a step in the wrong direction. Instead of leaving us to figure it out on our own, Bill continued to offer guidance, answer questions, and provide additional support until we were back on track again. His commitment to our success went far beyond the initial training. As a result of the confidence and skills we gained through working with Bill, my daughter decided to enter her dog in a 4-H Dog Show. We were thrilled when she placed in the competition! It was a wonderful experience and a testament to the progress both our dog and our family have made. We are extremely grateful for Bill's continued encouragement and dedication. Knowing that he is there to help when challenges arise has made all the difference. We highly recommend Bill and Sierra K9 to anyone looking for not only excellent training, but also exceptional ongoing support.
