TL;DR: I would not trust Camp Bow Wow with the safety of my pets…read more My parents boarded their two small dogs at Camp Bow Wow for the very first time while we attended a family event out of state. When we picked them up that evening, one dog had a large, pus-filled wound on her face that staff described only as "a scratch." Although none of us are veterinarians, it was obvious the wound was more serious than that. The next morning, our family veterinarian confirmed it was a puncture wound that had become infected, drained the pus, and explained that it would have required stitches had it been treated sooner. Instead, the dog was prescribed a week of antibiotics. Two weeks later, the wound is healing but still not fully resolved. We contacted Camp Bow Wow to find out what had happened because no one had informed us of any incident before pickup. After investigating, management told us our dog had been injured as collateral damage during a scuffle between another dog and her companion a couple of hours before checkout. They also claimed they had called my parents to discuss the incident. That is not what happened. The only voicemail my parents received stated that both dogs were doing well and asked them to call about exit baths. They returned the call on the way from the airport, reached voicemail, and received no further attempts to contact them. When we asked why veterinary care wasn't sought--or, at a minimum, why my parents weren't notified so they could decide whether their dog should be seen--we were told the injury "did not appear to be severe enough for medical attention" and had only "occurred a couple of hours prior to checkout." This explanation was difficult to reconcile with our veterinarian's findings that the wound was already infected and that too much time had passed for stitches, despite the vet examining her less than 24 hours after the incident allegedly occurred. When we raised these concerns, management stood by their account and stated that pet owners are responsible for any veterinary expenses resulting from their dog's stay. When I asked the facility manager, Sally, about their policy for notifying owners when a dog is injured, specifically by another dog, I never received a clear answer--only a repetition of their version of events. As someone who owns my own two dogs and frequently uses boarding facilities, I understand that kennel staff are not veterinarians. I don't expect them to diagnose injuries. I do expect them to promptly notify pet owners whenever an animal is injured and allow the owner--not the kennel--to decide whether veterinary care is warranted. I also expect honesty and transparency as to when and how an incident occurred, which I do not believe we received in this instance. In my opinion, Camp Bow Wow failed to meet that basic standard of care. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend boarding your pets there.

Check the BBB website for Tempe AZ complaints and F rating. My complaint is exactly the same as those on the BBB website. The "trainer" Jim in this case, shows up one time, gives a three hour boiler plate presentation about pack animal behavior and about 30 min of actual training then gives YOU all the responsibility to train your dog...for $1K! He only came once for first meeting I mentioned and after almost 6 weeks went by with zero follow-up, I reached out and told him in person that I hired him to train my dog and that I want my money back. The Bark Busters website is purposely misleading and vague indicating they will work with you to develop a training foundation, etc. They won't..they'll gaslight you that you are doing it wrong after ONE 30 min hands-on session. I am currently filing a complaint with the NM Attorney General and BBB to try and get my money back...These are bad people taking a lot of money up front with no actual training given.

Additionally, he felt the need to 'protect' me from intruders and barks constantly when I have guests over and even when the sit down, once they stand back up or make any sudden movements, Lobo goes back into his barking frenzy. I felt it was imperative for me to seek help with this behavioral issues. The vet recommended I look into Bark Busters and I'm so glad I did. James Landers came to my house right on-time and within a couple of hours my dog was put on track to recovery. I have homework to do, but I feel extremely confident, based on the progress he has already made, that as I continue his training his problems will be a thing of the past. I also really like their lifetime guarantee and feel confident that I could always call with questions should any issues arise. I highly recommend you call and talk to James about the problems you may be facing with your dog. You'll be glad you did.

I own an Aussiedoodle that's crazy anxious. I figure I should name the breed up front, because I…read morewas looking for other doodle people when I perused dog training reviews and ultimately went with Amanda at ABQ Bark University. I wanted to hear from someone who knew my struggle, man. The struggle of owning a dog that everyone else thinks is a bad animal. The struggle of a dog who gets spooked by strangers, strange dogs, strange sounds, strange places. It's not her fault, it's how she's wired, and as Amanda explained, I could, over time, rewire her. That's what we've been doing over the last five lessons; No shock collars, no strict scolding, just a slow reintroduction to the world she'd learned to fear. Lots of teensy, tiny treats, plenty of praise, and an easing of the natural world around her. Five lessons and we're in a spot where I'm feeling ready to send Tillie to group classes, to socialize her and improve her confidence so that, someday, everyone else will know just how incredibly sweet and loving she is. So is Amanda worth it? Absolutely. She has me writing my first review in years. That's saying something, right?

I recently boarded my two Great Pyrenees puppies for the first time over the holiday weekend, and…read morethe experience was deeply disappointing. After five days at the facility, I picked them up to find one covered in feces on her tail and hindquarters, while the other seemed traumatized--she tried to hide under a tree as the staff brought her out. Once home, both dogs voraciously drank an entire 3L bowl of water and devoured two full bowls of food, suggesting they may have been neglected in terms of basic care. My smaller girl is still not back to her energetic self; she's unusually weak and uninterested in play. Whatever occurred during their stay, it's clear this kennel failed to provide adequate attention and hygiene. I would never recommend or return to this place--pet owners, beware.

My spoiled babies all LOVED their week long stays so they stayed a little less than a week on two separate occasions. I have one dog that is extremely anxious and during the first visit it took her a day to settle in but on the second stay it only took a few hours. Which is amazing. Their website answered all the questions I had so I called and booked some dates. I can confirm that in fact, they are everything I hoped for. Our little trio of babies loved staying and you'll see nothing but smiles and playful faces. They kept me updated on how the pets did while we were away which includes pictures; the pics really put me at ease because I could see how happy they were. The staff is amazing no matter who you speak with or text, they all are amazing people truly. They are animal lovers and it shows. They treat your pets as if they are their own. Kisses, treats if you allow it and I love the drop off form is great. They adhere to whatever the dog's schedule is and they will give prescription medication as well. I especially want to say that I was able to genuinely relax because I KNEW that my babies were being well cared for and loved. Upon picking up our pups, we got report cards and it helps to see how they did.
