Shannon is absolutely the best person to care for my dogs when I am unavailable…read more I am new to the area and had an upcoming trip and wanted to try in home care vs boarding. I found Shannon and she brought me peace of mind upon meeting her. Shannon came out for an introductory meet and greet with my two dogs. She asked a lot of questions about their habits, activities, exercise levels and then went ourside and threw the ball for one and took on a short walk to end of the block. This was so needed for both Shannon and my "girls" ti get to know one another. When my trip came, I knew the girls were in good hands. Shannon stopped by twice daily to feed, let outside, play, walk and give lots of petting and love. How do I know this? Because Shannon would send me pictures and texts letting me know my dogs were ok! Peace of mind for me and the best care for my fur babies- if I could give ten stars I would- Shannon is amazing!

My two regrets are that 1 - I waited so long to find Julia, and 2 - that I did not start with her board and train.   Julia was great with once-a-week training, but I wasn't. Every time my dog went crazy I stopped. I gave up. So, I finally accepted that boarding him with Julia was my only hope. I am very tight with money because I don't have extra, but this was my only hope. When he came home after 2 weeks with Julia, my beautiful dog actually let me put his harness on. I mean he was calm and happy getting his harness on.  He got into the car with no fuss.  Wow!  He came home with his nails trimmed!  The vet wouldn't do his nails until he was totally sedated.  I mean not gabapentin but, Totally  Sedated.    Now, I take him for walks every day, happily!!!! Real walks. We are hoping with Julia's help to expand our horizons even more.  There is not a chance that I could possibly recommend Guiding Tails more Highly. Wish I'd found them sooner.

After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately a lot of trainers use aversives, especially with large strong dogs. We were so excited to find Julia, and after our meet & greet we were confident she was a good choice. Julia did a 2 week board & train with our dog while we were traveling, mainly focusing on leash skills and practicing calm behavior around exciting things. We noticed an immediate improvement, but have also been continuing to work on the training at home after our follow up. I'm happy to report that we are continuing to see improvement using Julia's methods.

Einat, the owner, is very responsive and clearly cares about both her customers and her employees--and it shows in the quality of their service. Charlie typically had the same walkers at the same time each week. They were all professional, caring, attentive, and TRUE dog lovers! I loved Strut the Pup's daily walk reports and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of while I was at work. On a few occasions when I was working from home, I watched as his regular walker arrived--Charlie would be waiting at the window and greeted them with full-body wags every time. When Charlie's hips started bothering him as he got older, the team helped me adjust his walks so he could continue enjoying his outdoor adventures. Sadly, Charlie has since passed, but I've saved many of the walk-report photos his walkers took (like this one), and they remain some of my favorite pictures of him. Thank you, Einat and team, for taking such wonderful care of Charlie.

That being said we research where our puppy is going and give it a few tries to make sure he is treated right. Ellensburg Pet Lodge fills the bill as he can't wait to "check in" and when we pick him up he is happy to see us. When he gets home he collapses so we know he has a busy day not just stuck in a cage. Great staff and you can tell if someone is just putting up with animals or they have a passion for the work.
