They came highly recommended. I still, even with the issues, would recommend them. Above all, I have to give a very special shout out to Mandy. She went above and beyond to comfort me when I was visually upset. She read me like a book and came from what she was doing to ask me what she could do for me.... She listened to me and STEPPED up for me and my fur baby. She is a woman who truly loves what she does and it shows. Thank you Mandy, from the bottom of my heart.

She gets to chase balls with all of her pals. Tori is VERY responsive if you have any concerns or there are any issues with your dog during their time there. She will also do her best to accommodate your needs, but the word is getting around. So word to the wise. Book your boarding dates as early as you can.

My wife and I both have had dogs all our lives. But we never took the time to train them properly…read more When our old dog died, we knew we wanted another dog or two. This time though, we wanted to train them. Our vet recommended Drop the Leash. I liked that Valeria came to our house, rather than taking the dogs out of their own safe environment. Within minutes of Valeria working with the pups, they were responding to her instructions. It just got better from there. We took the six week course and not only did my wife and I look forward to Valeria coming, so did the pups. The end results were more than we imagined. We continue to work with the pups, now that the official training is over. Drop the Leash gave us, and our pups, the tools to make our lives together better. When we decide we can't live without another dog, we will call Drop the Leash before we go to pick the dog up. I highly recommend calling Valeria for your new dogs or dogs that have happens you want to break. She will get the job done. Greg & Vickie Baker

Whether you're tackling basic obedience or diving into more advanced training, this place makes the whole experience fun and rewarding. The owner is right there with you during class, offering constant encouragement and clear guidance. She even sticks around afterward to answer questions and make sure you feel confident practicing at home. The training is outstanding, and the day camp and grooming services blow every other place I've tried out of the water. There's a reason this spot is consistently rated the best--it genuinely is.

We are regular go-ers to paws and beyond. We have been taking our Pinto for grooming with Archie…read morefor at least ten months, if not longer. Archie is great with dogs. He charges a really reasonable price. Pinto gets nervous and Archie is very gentle with him. He's also very honest, and will update you after how the appt went. There's a little window you can look through to see your dog groomed if you want. Archie is also the first groomer we ever had that actually asks us what we want for grooming and will make sure we are absolutely satisfied. And he is consistent every time. Because of such positive grooming experiences, we have also enrolled Pinto in their six week beginning obedience training course. Sharon is an excellent trainer. She's patient, attentive, responsive, observant and considerate. The group classes were well done. I learned a lot about dog behavior and nutrition too that I still put to daily use. Pinto has had great improvements on his leash w alking behavior and we are highly impressed. Overall this is a great place for your dog. We have not used their boarding services yet but would not hesitate in the future if we need to. I trust them and also trust Sharon's advice in case I ever have a doggie question.

Kathy at Barks and Rec is a master teacher of dogs and of us humans. This summer we signed up for…read more3 different classes that were offered, ranging from 4 weeks to 8 weeks. My young wire wiener and I enjoyed the classes so much, and, we learned and practiced so many skills. I think Chummy's favorite class was Nosework. Kathy taught us fun games that a wire wiener would love--sniffing for treats. We also took Better Recalls and Junior Ranger. In each series of classes we learned through positive reinforcement lots of valuable skills, like coming when called, loose leash walking, sit stay, greeting strangers. We can't wait to take more classes next summer. I highly recommend Barks and Rec!

But, most importantly, we've seen great results and I truly have 2 pleasant dogs.

Their training of young dogs was fine, but the ancillary services available later aren't worth the…read morecost. Young staff member lectured us if we were a little late, claiming we were throwing their whole schedule off. Rarely were there other vehicles or customers there, so I'm not sure how that was possible. Their services usually took 5 -10 minutes, with every minute of it seeming rushed, adding anxiety to our dog. Staff member didn't appear to have maturity to handle challenges, or interested in our dog. Based upon what staff we've met, you might get a good experience, but you're just as likely to get told that any problem is because of you or your dog, and they can't help you. Oh, and they pre-charge for the services, so if you don't have a good experience, well, that must be because you did something wrong. Pleasant for their accounting, not so much for your dog.
