After chatting…read morefor a bit, it's apparent that the owner is not only knowledgeable in many pet related areas, but also that she truly has a heart for animals. Valley Paws carries a variety of pet related products from high quality foods, treats, and essential supplements, to pet clothing, shirts and hats for the humans, toys, and some home decor items as well. There's also grooming available by appointment. The prices for these specialty items along with their grooming services are extremely fair and in many cases even less expensive than the bigger corporate pet stores. If you're in the area, definitely come on by and support this welcoming and charming mom-and-pop establishment.

I was referred to them by a friend who uses their grooming services because our little fur guy is old, blind and gets easily overwhelmed by a bunch of dogs barking. He was treated like a King for the 1 1/2 hours he was there by a groomer that I immediately liked upon meeting her. She groomed our scared little guy in a private room and, when he was done, was handed off to the owner (Javier) who held him like a baby until we arrived for pick up. The grooming prices are very reasonable and the shop's atmosphere is warm and inviting. The owners both took time to speak with me and reassure me that our baby would be well taken care of. I will absolutely use their services again and encourage you to check them out. Particularly if you have a special needs dog - s/he will be so well cared for.

We have 7 miles of woods behind our house so temptation is everywhere but they stay within the boundaries we set. Outstanding job Rachel!!!!

He came home housebroken, crate trained, walks beautifully, has excellent manners (for the most part) around people and other dogs, and every few days we discover another piece of his training. It's clear Jake invested months into giving him a foundation that lasts beyond the training facility. What I appreciate most is that Beau is still completely himself. He's goofy, energetic, curious, and excited about life. The training didn't change his personality, it gave him structure and confidence. We're still at the very beginning of our journey together, and I'm sure there will be plenty for all of us to learn over the coming years. But starting with a dog who already has this kind of foundation has been an incredible gift. If the first two weeks are any indication, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jake and Anvil K9. Beau is living proof of the care and work they put into their work.

(from Copper) Hey…read moreguys, Copper here. As many of you know, I am a tiny, ferocious beast. A menace. A gremlin. A highly advanced chaos goblin with four paws and absolutely no regrets. But when I met Jake at Anvil K9, I finally met my match. 5-star accommodations 5-star education 5-star restaurant 5-star enrichment 5-star adventure package The human, however? Only 4 stars. Now don't get me wrong--Jake is a good dude. Smart. Patient. Fair. Knows his dog stuff. But my man smells way too good. Jake, buddy, you gotta dial it back. Lose the deodorant. Roll in something questionable. Maybe a dead fish. You're setting unrealistic standards for the rest of us. Every time a lady dog came by, she'd sniff me once and then look at Jake like he was a fresh rotisserie chicken. Frankly, it was becoming a problem for my social life. Mom even abandoned me for FOUR WHOLE WEEKS--plus a couple extra days--so she could go spend time with her future fiancé or whatever. Extremely suspicious behavior. I considered filing a complaint. But I have to admit, I learned a ton. I came home with better manners, better focus, better obedience, and significantly fewer opportunities to embarrass myself in public. Would I recommend Anvil K9 and Jake? Absolutely. Would I trust them with my life? Without question. Would I trust Jake around my future wife? Still evaluating. -- Copper Tiny Ferocious Beast, Professional Good Girl, and Victim of Jake's Excessive Freshness Five stars. Would board again. Jake is still suspiciously well-groomed for a human, but nobody's perfect.

Angie and the other women were so friendly, helpful, patient and loving with my dogs - we had a great time and will be back for more swimming and to try diving. Can't wait! The place is conveniently located, the pool is clean and warm, there is lots of room for the dogs to run around when not swimming/diving and they sure seem to know dogs, and the sport.

The vet and her assistant were so sweet and kind to Monty. He can be a little spicy at times and shy. They were very accommodating and even brought out a cheese stick and all the toys for him to feel at ease. The main office and waiting room was clean, tidy and comfortable. I found their prices to be reasonable. It didn't feel like I was being forced or coerced into spending more than I needed to. The vet even talked me out of doing x-rays, which I would've gladly paid for. I highly recommend them and will be definitely back in the future with my other pets and Monty.
