The report also includes a tracker map so if you have a dog, you can see where they were walked. I am very pleased with the service!

This review has nothing to do with Dreamy Skies training capabilities as unfortunately I never got…read morethe opportunity to work with her.   I reached out via the website and picked a time for a :15 phone consultation, I was looking for an immediate slot, but settled on the first available which was a week away. I booked and waited to be able to chat through options that were available for my pup.  As many do, I work in an office setting, I waited for the call to come in which was minutes late (3 minutes if we're looking for details, 11:48 AM) I quickly listened to Karen's message and immediately called back (within 3 minutes of the missed call). There was no answer.  Within 5 minutes I'd also sent a follow up email explaining that I was still available and eager to discuss my pet, no response. Ever.  I should note, the message noted that I'm outside of her service area. Her website advertises D.C. training opportunities, lists an address in Mount Airy, where I'm from and where my family resides, I can work remotely from anywhere and can easily be available no matter where she requested to meet.  She also advertises boarding and training packages on the website which sparked my initial interest.  My family owned and a well known local kennel in the area for more than 30 years, I love the setting of Mullinex Mill Road (which is rural) and I thought it would be a better setting for my dog's training than some other businesses located in busier settings.  Put simply: I specifically sought out this trainer for their location.   After calling late for our scheduled consultation and no follow up in spite of a follow up email and phone call(and message) from me I'm bummed.  My family has owned and operated two local small businesses. I know things can get lost, but the lack of customer service was really disappointing.

We highly recommend Dreamy Skies!! Our 3 year old rescue dog, Sammi, had fear aggression and…read morereactivity towards strangers and other dogs. We worked with Karen for 8 sessions over the past 6 months and we have seen a tremendous amount of improvement. The first time Karen met Sammi, she immediately noticed her high anxiety and she explained how this attributes to her aggression and reactivity. She showed us step-by-step methods to teach Sammi to be more relaxed and less anxious. It's incredible how much her anxiety has improved since we first started. As Karen explained to us in the beginning, this is a slow and steady process and we still have much more progress to make with Sammi. But we have all the tools and knowledge we need to allow her to succeed. This type of training is not quick and easy - it is important to do the work and stay consistent, but it is so worth it!! It truly does work! We have a much better relationship with Sammi and we're so grateful to Karen!

I have worked with Michael on these issues and also boarded Nik with him several times. Michael is an excellent trainer who really understands dogs. I've been truly amazed at what Nik has achieved and by how much I've learned about Nik. As I've told all my friends, I feel like I found a "dog whisperer" who has performed miracles with Nik. I am 100% confident boarding Nik with Raja and the Ruff. Nik is very excited when we arrive at Michael's place with its huge fenced-in yard. I can tell from the many photos and videos Michael sends me during his stay that Nik is having a great time with Michael, his staff and the other dogs. I have to drive over an hour to drop Nik off at Michael's place, but it's totally worth it because I know Nik will be well cared for, get the attention he needs to feel secure, and come home a happy, tired dog. I couldn't recommend Michael and Raja and the Ruff more highly.

Bea is a very high energy dog that had no socialization skills until Michael. Through training and use of e-collar, she is happy girl and can be with other dogs. She can be a lot and Michael handles her so well. Not only that but Bea LOVES to be boarded at K-9 Raja. She starts wiggling and getting so excited when we pull up. In fact, we boarded her for two weeks when we went to Italy. We had no doubt that Bea was in the best of hands and we certainly loved having a worn out, happy dog at home.

I never dreamed I would find something better! Both my boys are shy and love rubs and extra loving - Courtney and her team give that to them and more. I also have a crazy schedule and Courtney allowed me the flexibility to schedule on a week to week basis - letting her know which days that week our boys would need a walk. No extra charge - and often on Sunday's she would take the time to reach out and ask me personally about my schedule. She is just above and beyond - affordable and super pleasant to work with too. I only wish I was home when she came :)

We offer multiple indoor play areas, where dogs are separated with consideration made for personality and safety to ensure the most comfortable and beneficial play for all dogs. We have one outdoor area where dog groups are rotated in and out of during the day to get fresh air, play and go to the bathroom on our sanitary astro-turf. We believe a tired dog is a happy dog and that playing at daycare helps them listen better and behave better for you at home. We take pride in treating your dog just like family and continue the love and care that they receive from you at home.

I highly recommend Animal Inn and we will use them again when we travel back to the area!

They are currently temporarily closed during the pandemic, but I wanted to stop to write a review of them. We have 3 small dogs. When we go on vacation, we rent a "run" so the 3 can stay together and have plenty of room to run around. They also offer smaller pens and you can get "playtime" and "walks" etc. We've been using them for years and our dogs have NEVER come home sick or sad. They always come home happy and healthy, which is huge with a kennel. We went through a period last year, where I literally had to board them every weekend for 2 months due to a family situation on the west coast, and they came back to me happy as clams every week. Their prices are also SUPER reasonable. The owner is very accessible and friendly. On the grooming side, Nicole does a great job! I've had them groomed several times, while staying there. She does a good job interacting with the dogs and they come out looking adorable and smelling great. My dogs are a bit nervous of new people, but they took to her immediately. She's a sweet person and a great groomer with very fair pricing. I highly recommend both the boarding and the grooming.

She is clearly a devoted and sincere pet lover, who provides lots of exercise, playtime, and quiet time for the pets left in her care, in a loving, caring, and well-organized atmosphere. Pictures tell the story.... and we do appreciate when Jackie sends us pictures of how our Labrador, Casey, is doing when we're away....whether he's playing with other dogs, running in the park, or snoozing after dinner on his bed. Casey has been cared for by Jackie for the last 2 years, and he "says" it best. When we drop him off for a short or longer stay, his tail begins wagging before the front door opens......and he DOESN'T LOOK BACK as Jackie welcomes him in and he runs to the basket of toys set near the door......knowing that a trip to the dog park is always on the agenda, too. Dissed by our own dog! Finally, this winter we had a family emergency that required that we find care for Casey on very short notice....within an hour. Jackie offered and then made arrangements and changes to her weekend schedule to be able to take Casey on immediately....for the weekend. How could we not give this wonderful lady 5++ stars for her kindness and professional service, both to pets and their owners?

Paws On The Leash has exceeded all of my expectations of someone who cares for my puppy and my cat…read more I would recommend Jackie to anyone who wants a company who cares just as much about your pets as she does her own. During out consultation, she spent the time to tell me how to set up crates and potty train my pup. I was completely overwhelmed with my new 11-week old puppy, and her advice was spot-on. Between her advice and dog walking, he has turned into a well-trained puppy. Jackie makes sure I understand any commands that she's working on with him (and vice versa) so we can both enforce his training. This has helped him pick up basic commands a lot faster. It's a great feeling to come home one day and your puppy finally understands sit when he didn't get it that morning. I've used this company for both dog walking and overnight stays. People (lovingly) tell me that I'm a helicopter doggy mom, and I trust Jackie 100% with both of my munchkins. Typically the best part of my work day is getting pictures of my pup or a funny story about something he did that day. Jackie has continually provided exceptional service for both my pup and cat. She is great with them, and continues to give great advice. She works my puppy hard to get out his energy during the day. Anyone who has a long day commuting and working appreciates coming home to a puppy who only needs a short walk and some playing. I am very fortunate to have found Paws On The Leash. I would recommend them in a heart beat to anyone who is looking for a business that always goes above and beyond what is typically provided.
