Between the owners Terresa and Taylor who are just so so nice, fun and compassionate, to the rest of their staff they're all genuinely happy to see my boy Tucker and seem to enjoy what they do which is so rare. I'm never worried that the staff can't handle a situation with all the dogs in the yard which I've felt before with other doggie day cares. Taylor makes sure everyone outside with the dogs has a good calm energy, which when your working with a pack this size you need. I was worried too about the hot summer weather that it would make the turf too hot for the dogs but they do a great job flooding the turf with the hose so the dogs can cool off, they also have great frozen treats you can purchase for them to give your dog during the day. Tucker has never been happier with a daycare, nor more tired when he comes home, which to me and I'm sure most dog owners is the sign of a successful day. Thank you A1K9.

It's hard to know where to begin. We could not speak highly enough of A Very Good K9…read more My girlfriend and I got a Malinois puppy in July and immediately began searching for an experienced trainer. Much to our dismay, all of the trainers we contacted were not only discouraging, but had a fairly draconian view of how to "train" this breed. After meeting Austin and Haley for the first time, we cried tears of joy because we had finally found trainers that could help us and trust with our pup. We had a few training sessions with the both of them and each session we left feeling more confident and capable. Not only were they training our pup but also taught us how to be better handlers. We felt so comfortable with them that when our puppy was 5 months old, we sent her to a 4-week board and train (prior to meeting Austin and Haley, we had agreed to no B&T's). Although, we missed her presence during that time it's the best thing we could have possibly done. We knew that Austin and Haley would give our pup the same level of love and attention that we would given her at home. Before, it was difficult to do certain "regular"dog things such as taking her on a walk. She was very impulsive, latching on, lashing out, etc. typical behavior for a mouthy mal. Upon receiving her back, the groundwork had been laid out for us to have a positive and successful relationship with her. She snuggles with us, plays with us and let's us take her on walks but is still the crazy puppy we fell in love with. She has learned so much in a short amount of time and we finally feel like we can breathe. She still has a lot to learn as do we, which is why we are continuing to work with them. We would not trust anyone else as a trainer and would do this again without a second thought. Austin and Haley are very knowledgeable and it is evident in the results they produce. They are genuine people. They care a lot about the work that they do and your pups well being. They want you and your pup to succeed. We would suggest their services to anyone we know in need of dog training. You won't regret it.

Great service, happy dogs, amazing price!…read more We dropped our dog off while we went camping for the weekend with friends. Our dog is usually more interested in human companionship than canine companionship, so I told the ladies who checked her in that we weren't sure how she would prefer to sleep (in the open or on her own). When I picked her up, I learned that one of the women working there let our dog snuggle with her all weekend - on the sofa watching tv and even overnight to sleep. When she was checked out, she was calm, happy, and relaxed. I couldn't ask for anything more! These people love dogs and just want them to be happy and comfortable, no matter what their personality. It seemed like our dog enjoyed her weekend in the country as much as we did!

When they do bring your dogs out (if you pay extra) they get 5 to 10 minutes to play and then rushed back into their crates. You have to pay for basic needs for a dog, rushed walks, playtime that isn't long enough, if your dog gets meds, cuddles and "play pals" which is a very quick thing only to get a video or picture just to post on their Instagram story. If you dont sign your dog up for anything HUGE chances the dog DOES NOT leave the crate besides for going potty and being rushed at that. Staff arent allowed to use force or discipline if the dogs arent listening yet they do. If your dog pukes or has diarrhea more than once they are given Purina FortiFlora, gastro or pumpkin, if they continue the dog does not eat. All staff claimed to be dog lovers but RUSHING and not making sure dogs arent stuck in crates. News flash excitement and built up energy can EASILY turn into aggression!! Very toxic environment, toxic people and overall bad vibes there. Do not recommend to anyone near this overly expensive dog boarding facility, they do not care about your dogs as much as they say they do. Do not bring your dogs here!!

We checked them out because entrusting both my home and my four legged kid to just anyone wasn't a option. Yes, they really are bonded and yes, unlike other services, these folks come with years of professional experience. This was important to us. They work with our schedule, are reliable, there's never an unexpected substitute: just the same reliable person. The rates hit the sweet spot for us also and come in a few bucks less than most of the other services in town. This was a score for us and I'd suggest giving them a try. You won't be sorry.

I LOVE the PetCheck system she uses too- she scans in and out (with a barcoded magnet) so I know when she is there, and she also sends an update email for the visit, including pictures! I HIGHLY recommend Tails and Trails. Her prices are really reasonable, especially for the quality of care and peace of mind.

Unbelievably bad experience. Just seconds after Dr. Lebouf delivered the devastating news that my…read moregirl had terminal bone cancer, she launched into a self-righteous lecture about the dangers of grain-free diets. She quoted studies and strongly implied that my feeding choices had caused or contributed to her demise. She even added, "I know it's too late for B, but I know you have another dog and want to protect them." I was too overwhelmed by grief and tears to respond in the moment, but several things went through my mind: * I have no idea why she assumed B was on a grain-free diet. Not even true * This is classic "blame-shifting" but why? * There is no chance shelf stable slop pellets have better outcomes for animals than fresh food diets, I suspected whatever study she referring is going to be about pulse diets, where food slop companies swap out rice for anti-nutrients like chickpeas (terrible for dogs and actually leech nutrients, mostly indigestible). When they asked about her diet, I believe I just said "mostly home made - fresh meat and vegetables." I never said I gave them grain free kibble. I feed my dogs a balanced fresh-food diet (meats, vegetables, and rice in proper ratios, with age- and condition-specific supplements) about 80% of the time. When I can't prepare fresh meals, they get premium kibble (that contains rice), mixed with high-quality wet food. There is zero evidence in the scientific literature comparing a properly balanced fresh diet to commercial kibble. The studies Dr. Lebouf referenced appear to be the familiar ones comparing grain-inclusive kibble to "grain-free" kibble formulas that simply replace grains with pulses and legumes. That is not the same as comparing fresh food to kibble, and it is misleading to present it that way. Earlier this year I brought B in after she suddenly started limping in pain. They diagnosed arthritis and a soft tissue injury, charged $500 for imaging, and sent us home with pain medication. It's hard not to wonder whether the cancer was missed at that visit, considering it was in the exact location. B was a rescue who had endured severe abuse and malnutrition in her early years. She arrived terrified of everyone, trembling and submissive. For some reason she chose to trust me. Within a year she had visibly grown, gained confidence, and become the sweetest, most loving dog. She wasn't supposed to be mine forever, but we became inseparable. Losing her has been heartbreaking. I waited a long time before writing this review. I didn't want it to come purely from grief or anger. I understand that cancer can be difficult to catch, and I wouldn't be writing this if the only issue had been a missed diagnosis. I'm writing because of the condescending, sanctimonious way Dr. Lebouf spoke to me during this moment. She quoted science in a misleading way - I believe - because she either didn't actually read it or doesn't understand what it says. To be clear - there are NO STUDIES comparing grain free fresh food diets to kibble with grains. But this is how it was framed as if gospel. It was so inappropriate, but also inaccurate. I can only assume this is being preached repeatedly to other pet parents at the clinic. Many other staff members at the clinic are genuinely kind and great with animals.
