I can't recommend Nancy at Know Your Dog Training highly enough…read more After doing extensive research to find the right trainer, I'm so glad I found Nancy. From the beginning it was clear that she has a deep understanding of dogs and brings a calm, confident, and professional approach to everything she does. My dog Kane completed a training program with her, and I was extremely impressed with the experience and the results. Nancy takes the time to truly understand each dog and provides the kind of structure, guidance, and consistency that helps dogs thrive. Since then, Nancy has also become my trusted go-to whenever I travel. Knowing Kane is in her care gives me tremendous peace of mind. He always comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. What really sets Nancy apart is the level of attention and personalization she provides. This isn't a typical boarding situation -- she genuinely gets to know the dogs she works with and creates a thoughtful, structured environment for them. Nancy is trustworthy, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. I'm very grateful I found her and would recommend Know Your Dog Training without hesitation to anyone looking for a skilled trainer or a safe, reliable place for their dog while they're away.

Nancy was referred to me by another trusted dog trainer I worked with in the city, and I'm so glad…read moreshe was. Having a city dog isn't easy -- our 4-year-old Wheaten Terrier (female) has tons of energy, a stubborn streak, and some anxiety and reactivity issues around other dogs. We were looking for help with leash training and overall confidence, and Nancy was the perfect fit. From the very first interaction, Nancy was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She clearly loves what she does and cares deeply about every dog she works with. I enrolled our pup in a month-long board-and-train program while I was getting married, and Nancy made the experience completely stress-free. She stayed in constant communication, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that showed the progress and the specific behaviors being worked on -- plus advice for us as owners to reinforce at home. When our dog came back, the difference was night and day. She's calmer, more responsive, and walks beautifully on a leash with far fewer distractions. Her reactivity around other dogs has improved dramatically, and she seems much more confident overall. Even after the program ended, Nancy went above and beyond -- she included additional follow-up lessons at no cost and still checks in to see how things are going. Her board-and-train setup is amazing too: the dogs aren't kept in kennels but get to enjoy the outdoors, sunshine, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I can't recommend Know Your Dog and Nancy enough for anyone looking for dog training, board-and-train programs, or boarding with a personal touch. Nancy truly changed our dog's behavior -- and our lives -- for the better.

Buddy went from an unruly shelter dog to a Canine Good Citizen and that would not have been possible without Leslie. I will admit early on in the first Basic Class I was skeptical and thought there is no way MY dog is going to be able to do the things she is teaching, BUT that quickly changed because Leslie takes the time and trains YOU as well as your dog. I walked away with the skills I needed to make my dog behave at all times in the same way he did in class. Buddy became a true ambassador for his breed and we are forever grateful to Leslie and It's Your Dog!

We've tried several trainers and boarding facilities in various cities and states. We even resorted to trying a famous YouTube trainer and he came back worse and even more anxious. Typically, these expensive "board and trains" we've participated in have ended with medication recommendations and a "good luck". One final trainer recommended we try Mind Of Dog because she also wasn't able to break through. I'm so grateful we did. He's thriving and comes home exhausted. An added bonus is the people training we've received. The best part of all of it, is that he's finally getting the exercise and structure he's always needed and deserves. They handle the dogs calmly, but with lots of structure and clear boundaries, which our dog desperately needs. We can finally go to work and travel without worrying that he's being mishandled or ignored. We're so grateful to have found this place and I have to admit, I was waiting for him to fail again, because we had lost all hope. I highly recommend that you give Mind Of Dog a shot, especially if you're in a similar position as we were. Thanks, Mind of Dog! Senna loves you all and is so grateful to be able to play with dogs without fear and anxiety.

I would tell you the other reviews listed here that rate one star are probably not real customers…read more We brought our first dog Duffy to Waggin Tail from when he was a pup 1998. Their care of him (and us!) was nothing less than wonderful. Duffy died in 2010 and the owners shared our grief when we shared that information. Fast forward 10 years and we have be bringing our Murphy to Dan & Laura as they are our trusted caregivers. We no longer live in town near them, it's one hour from our home to the kennel but we would make no other choice for our best friends safety and health. People who complained about cost clearly don't read well or understand math, but there are no underhanded schemes to overcharge. We love the Nelson family and will always trust them with our pets.

I have tried two other locations and both of them returned me a sad dog. When I picked up my dog from Waggin tails, she was her usual spunky and happy self. The best part of this is Dan at Waggin Tails will not board your pet unless you take a full tour of his facility. When you do, you see why this kennel is the place to keep your dog or cat. Also, your pet must be up to date with their shots or they will not board your Dog or cat. That is a superior policy to have in place. They are upfront with all pricing and costs. Honesty is the best policy in my book. I recommended my family member to do the same with their dog and they had the same result. One very happy dog. Dan (and your crew), you have a customer forever and my dog is truly happy I found you. This place gets the ultimate thumbs up and I would recommend them to care for your dog while you are away over any place else. Thank you once again.
