In January 2025 we took our dog Cooper to Regal K9's to get boarder training over a 3 week period. We paid $2400. We talked over with the trainer our concern that Cooper needs to be around other dogs and get socialized and learn to not be so excited when he comes in contact with other dogs. She said we would give us back a gentleman after his training.
I was told we would be updated with videos and pictures of Cooper since we were going to be out of town and wanted to know how he was doing.
We dropped him off Jan. 16th and on Jan. 20th I asked if she could send a video of Cooper. We didn't get a video or pictures until Jan. 23rd.
I called her and asked how much time she was spending a day training Cooper. She said to start out it has to be short increments of 10- 15 minutes. I asked where he is the rest of the time and she said in his kennel. I said that is a long time to keep him in the kennel. To this day Cooper hates being in a kennel. He cries and howls so loud.
Cooper only played with mainly one dog that was there for one week. We were hoping to bring home a better trained dog and we worked with him so much and still do , but he has a long way to go.
I could not recommend this place. We have a sweet smart dog, but the training for $2400 was like throwing money in the garbage. I wish I would have done more research and found a place where they weren't afraid of getting dogs together to socialize. We are going to take him to another trainer that does so much more than this place did. I hate writing reviews like this, but so many people told me I need to. Pamela D. read more
