He's very spoiled and not boarded often, so I was concerned about finding the right place for him. The staff is very friendly and responds to any calls or emails throughout the stay, also explaining all the options and costs before check-in. The facility is very clean. The staff handled my dog's special diet and daily medication. You can get extra playtime sessions with other dogs or alone. Upon pickup, everything was neatly packaged, including bedding and extra food. He was in great spirits when I picked him up and looked great.

If I could give zero stars I absolutely would. I had dropped my 11 mo Labrador off on Wednesday…read moreSept 22 and called Sept 24 to see how he was adjusting. I was told he's doing great and coming out of his shell as he was nervous when I dropped him off. I didn't hear from anyone until Tuesday October 5th (the day before pickup) when I received a voicemail from Mallory that she needed to speak with me. When I returned her call I was informed that my dog had a rash on his neck and wanted to tell me before picking him up the next day and it shouldn't be a "cause for concern." She stated that the day after he was dropped off, staff noticed a tiny itchy, dry spot on his neck that progressively got worse. She continued to repeat that they didn't want this to be a cause for concern and naturally concerned, I asked to be sent a picture of the rash. This was no rash at all. The picture I was sent showed my dog next to a trainer with a raw, oozing wound where his jaw meets the base of his neck. It looked very infected and he definitely needed medical treatment so I immediately went to the facility to pick him up. When I arrived, I did not find my dog in the same condition as shown in the picture I received just an hour earlier. His wound was dry and completely scabbed over. The staff stated the wound looked much better than before (because it was healing). I immediately took him to the vet for a thorough exam and our vet diagnosed a skin infection of the hair follicles caused by injury to the skin. He also estimated that the original picture I was sent earlier that day was taken at least a few days prior. The vet also estimated that this injury occurred at least a full week prior to the training staff notifying me. Not only did my dog have an infected injury on his neck, he also had an infected wound on his testicles, had lost a significant amount of weight, as well as developing upper respiratory infection. Prior to sending him to the facility he was a big overweight with a very thick coat. The dog I picked up had lost at least 10 lbs and his spine and hip bones can be felt to the touch. The picture I was sent from staff showed a very obvious infection and the staff neglected to care for my dog or notify me that he needed medical treatment and attempted to treat this wound themselves with only A&D ointment. When asked about the 24 hour veterinarian on call mentioned on the training facility website, the staff stated they do not have a veterinarian on call. A bit misleading. After examining the neck wound we noticed small bumps around the sides of the wound that seem consistent with a pronged collar. We don't know how these injuries occurred but it's very clear our dog was NOT properly cared for and the staff neglected to provide our dog with basic medical treatment or at the very least inform us that our dog needed to see a vet. I will NEVER recommend the Dan Gentile Training to anyone.

I'm writing now because we now have a new puppy and I was looking for training places and this place came up and brought up bad memories so I felt I needed to write our experience. We dropped our dog off and went on a trip so she could go through the program. Coming back to pick the dog up we couldn't wait to see our dog thinking she would be so excited to see us but to our surprise our dog was subdued and looked defeated. No tail wagging or anything. Before the trainer showed us what they did, she commented that if WE didn't follow directions we had to put $25 in this jar. We laughed it off as though she was kidding but to be honest I don't think she was. They walked us through what they did and the "progress" and mind you they had a spike collar on the dog so when you pull it digs right into their neck. The trainer was showing us and she pulled so hard my dog let out a painful yelp! It looked like torture to be honest. We immediately said we are done here and left ASAP! My dog eventually recovered and we found a dog trainer that used positive enforcements and she became her happy self again

They even have a pool-haven't tried it yet but will since we have a water dog. The staff is very friendly and seems to really like what they do, are competent, and care about the dogs which is very important to me. I highly recommend Greenleaf for care and socialization of your dog.

On 5/23/2026, I was not pleased with the service I received from this establishment. This was our…read moresecond time bringing our dog here and hoped things would go as smoothly as the first time. My husband and I visited on Friday to prepay and schedule our reservation for the next day. We were informed that the facility opened at 8:00 AM. We arrived at 7:50 AM on Saturday and waited until 8:15 AM, at which point a staff member informed us that the doors do not open until 9:00 AM on Saturdays. He stated that we would need to pay an additional $15 for early admission, which my husband paid. We were told that our dog's rabies medallion was insufficient proof of vaccination, which is something we should have been told the day before. While the staff member suggested our dog could stay in isolation with a waiver, the delay made us late for the wake of my father-in-law. Consequently, our dog had to remain in our car for the duration of the wake and funeral. Thankfully, it was a cool day but I did not want this for my dog. Nor had I planned to go back and forth to check on my dog on such an emotional day. When I called at noon to see if she could still be dropped off and put in isolation, a different staff member informed me this was not permitted. We have been told that we cannot be reimbursed for the daycare and early admission fees and will instead receive a credit. While we acknowledge the missing vaccination documents, we believe the information we presented was misread. We are frustrated that we paid for services we did not receive due to conflicting information from the staff. I emailed a letter stating our grievances to management but did not receive a response. I do not like leaving negative reviews but this situation was not handled properly and I would hate for someone to go through the same situation.

We have a home and lifestyle that seemed to better suit his needs, but he still had confidence issues that we wanted to work on. Plus, his mannerisms were starting to rub off on our other dog, so we knew we needed help. Ryan worked with us during three sessions and after each we saw a notable difference in both of our dogs. Ryan is friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable- he took time at each session to answer our list of questions and make suggestions for improvement. We are really looking forward to continuing to watch our dogs' confidence grow as we practice everything Ryan has taught us. We HIGHLY recommend Baker Dog Training!

It was a complete disappointment that came with a heavy price tag. Mike, the owner, supposedly an…read moreexperienced dog trainer, during our first meeting, deliberately "forgot" to mention that the training of a 5-year old dog should be or might be different than training a puppy. The results spoke for themselves. However, he was quick to demand the full payment, which exceeded $2,000, without any recourse. In a nutshell, we were made to prepay a stranger we met only 20 minutes earlier, who was giving us a typical sale "shpiel" of his company being the best around. What a lie! Apparently, the love for our dog made us forego requisite due diligence and caution in choosing a dog trainer. There was no methodology as to how to train our dog most basic functions. For example, while the first trainer, Dana, kept feeding our dog treats every 2 minutes to make him compliant, the second trainer, Shan.... (forgot her full name) abandoned the "feeding" practice, but suggested to cross the street if the dog was pulling in a different direction during the walk. Contrary "techniques" between the 2 trainers were obvious. After 6 sessions and countless walks and "in-home practices" with and without trainers, our dog did not learn much (in fact, he regressed) and we gave up on Michael's Dog Training because we saw no progress. We realized we were wronged. Bottom line, we strongly do not recommend this business.

I just completed the seven week basic obedience course with my 8 month-old hound mix, and could not be more pleased with the results. Pete is clear and direct in his feedback, which I really appreciate.

I was also grateful for the flexibility of being able to drop into class on an alternate evening if I hit a scheduling snag. My pup and I are about to move on to the eight week therapy dog course, and I am confident that we have the foundation necessary to be successful. All-in-all I highly recommend Kindred Souls Canine Center.
