    Update: he is now one year old! But we got a DNA test and he is actually mostly coonhound, only a little bit cattle dog! Makes sense because he is now 65 lbs!

    I'm here to tell you, River Valley Pet Resort in Momence is NOT the place to board your dog. I had…read morea really bad experience. You think you're getting this clean environment, friendly staff and well taken care of dog but what you don't know is they don't let them out the 3 times a day that they say let alone have someone pet them and give them attention... who knows if she even got food and water like said. If you want the short version, I picked up my dog and a day later she came down with a UTI from having to hold it for so long because shes HOUSE BROKE and not one to just take a leak in the kennel. The vet found blood and extra protein in her pee sample. She was peeing on herself today and shaking and that's what finally made me take her to the vet but the other two days prior she was vomiting and super lethargic and barely left her one spot. I thought she just brought home a stomach bug from the pet resort which very well could have been but also turns out she had a severe UTI as well. ALSO..... they don't answer their damn phone so that goes to show that nobody is even there! The poor dogs sit in this "garage" all day long and do nothing other than be caged. I was just gonna talk to the owner and settle all of this but now as i get to be out $325, she gets bad reviews Bella suffered for 4 long days at the kennel and now probably another week while she gets over this UTI.

    River Valley Pet Resort is one of the best places to board your dogs and feel comfortable doing it…read more There is a family living on the property that makes all the dogs feel like their own and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I don't know what I would do with out them. Plus they are affiliated with the animal rescue as well. oh by the way your website for the resort is incorrect on the link you have (it says rivervalleypetresort.com--and it doesn't go to your website--you should really fix that) Thanks for all you do.

    Sabrielle and her staff truly understand and care about dogs. I have a very special little dog who…read moreneeds a lot of training and attention to help overcome her behavioral challenges and they not only understood what to do immediately, we've been making steady progress since we first met everyone. The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.

    We've only ever rescued older herding dogs, so we decided to get a 10-11mo…read more.. Sabrielle helped us greatly in the process giving us tools to tame the little maniac. She had plenty of tips and techniques and it was nice having her visit the home for the sessions to see how he is in that environment. After several mixed purpose sessions I feel like we're on the path to success, maybe. We hope .
