    Best feeling ever: just called Huck, my 18mo fox hound rescue, off a full on deer chase with a…read moresimple "Come! No. Huck Come!" And stood there amazed as he CHOSE to veer off in a long arc toward me, coming in full tilt to a sit. I am still sort of in shock that he gave me priority. When I called he was 40 yards away from me and within four car lengths of the deer and he is a focused high drive dog. Thank you to our trainer Greg Houle. Never in my wildest dreams did I think he would stop chasing a deer that he had an excellent chance of catching and come to me because I asked him to. I am so grateful for In The Flow K-9 training, that he came, yes, but the WAY he came to me, eyes shining, leaving what was probably his heart's desire, full of happiness that I had called. He was 100% into the next thing that we were going to do togethe r, focused and looking up at me for direction. Making that bond between you and your dog the "something big", the "pay off" for your work, is what Greg's teaching is all about from the very first minute. I am 70 years old. I have had many dogs and used many methods to get to where I thought I wanted to be with them. This method is like the place where all the paths meet....like the pearl in the oyster.Over the last two years I have watched Greg guide little kids, teens, adults, seniors, into better relationship with their canine companions. He just kind of walks into the mess you've made with each other and tidys up the room! Everyone feels better. Everyone does better. Then, if you want to stick around, he can show you how he did it! You won't find a more generous teacher. This kind of training makes you and your dog both feel better, do better, be better!

    We had one dog that was full grown and well-behaved when we got him. So we ruined that. He was…read moremedium-sized and kind-hearted so we managed. Then we rescued another full grown dog who wasn't small. She was wild and required a team just to walk her. We have been working with Greg and both dogs on and off since November. We aren't terrible consistent, but we do try. People have been stopping and applauding us for the noticeable changes in both dogs' behavior. I have actually had some success walking both dogs together. Life at home is much less frazzled, although there's still plenty to work on. What I really like about this training is that Greg is practical. The training is to the point. It's really sensible. Greg understands that people are busy, that some dogs have structure and other dogs have toys. He adjusts and supports as needed. Greg has a diverse background with a biology degree and has worked a broad spectrum of jobs. He takes his career seriously and gets things done pleasantly, timely, and correctly.

    I had taken my two dogs here for the past two years and had a wonderful experience, dogs always…read morecame home happy (a little stinky but happy nonetheless). My most recent visit, I boarded my two dogs for 8 nights and had given instructions to give my dog his anxiety medication once daily. Upon pick up, I was told he didn't receive his medication and specific wording from the worker (Colleen) was "it's as needed right" despite giving specific instructions for once daily AND the pill bottle saying the same. I called once I got my dogs home to ask why the medication wasn't given and the workers exact words were "I forgot" and "I just got back from vacation and didn't see his medication written on the board." She did say he got the med the two days she wasn't there and still charged me for those days. After giving it some thought, I decided that mistakes happen and I was willing to continue to board my dogs there for my next trip. I called to reserve them a spot and was told they were full. I called back to ask to be placed on a waiting list and the same worker said she would call me by the end of the day the next day and let me know if she had anything open up. I never received a call. At this point, it's just bad business and clear this worker doesn't care about the clients.

    I entrusted the lives and well being of my 3 dogs: Roxy, Kal, & Bruce during our 2 night stay in…read moreLeavenworth to enjoy the Christmas holiday. I asked for Bruce and Kal to be roomed together, as I was told all 3 couldn't share a room, because Bruce has become very bonded to his brother since joining our family 3 years ago. They share a kennel sometimes and sleep together every night. We were surprised when the receptionist told us upon pick-up on Sunday that we couldn't room Kal and Bruce together next time because Bruce just lost it and attacked Kal. First they said it happened Saturday night, then upon further questioning, said they found him like that Sunday morning. Either way, I should have been contacted immediately. When they walked my poor boy out, his jowls were swollen 3 times their size!!! He could barely walk and just appeared to have been through the wringer. The woman said she bathed him "to get the blood off" but he still looked dirty and smelled so I bathed him when we got home. The water ran yellow with the feces in his fur. But they bathed him? he could barely even stand during the duration I had to clean him up. She pointed out a small cut by his ear but I see scratches all over his body, no open wounds, but on his forearm there was a red gash from elbow to wrist! Red, but not open. Like when you scratch yourself from an allergic reaction, like a mosquito bite maybe, except he can't reach there and if another animals, big or small, dog or even cat, got ahold of him, it wouldn't look like that. His face feels like Braille with all the small...cuts? all over his face. We are constantly asking "what happened to you???" Of course the people there said well it must have been his Bruce but he didn't have a mark on him. So Kal just laid there and took it? But wouldn't Bruce's mouth have some sort of wear if he tore up another dog? Knowing our dogs, we don't believe one bit. I have no idea what could have happened to him in there, none of his small scars point to any kind of abuse but you can bet I will never return to that facility should my life depend on it. It is sad a local business like that cannot be trusted for 2 nights!!! What about people boarding for longer?!?! It makes me sad considering I am a big supporter of small business but please reconsider when looking to board here. Get a tour, interview the staff-and the owner! He tried to word play us too but saying his staff was so upset about what happened to Kal...then why didn't you call me immediately upon finding him like that? And why does your story keep changing? I'm only thankful it wasn't worse and he has seemingly recovered well with some gabapentin and rest.

    I've been taking my kitties here since moving to the Valley a couple years ago, and have always…read morebeen more than impressed by their service and amazing, loving care. Recently, my littlest cat was acting very weird and stopped eating over a period of a few days. I thought it might be because of the heat wave we were having at the time, but when she got increasingly lethargic and started hiding, I got worried and called Chuckanut Valley. They got us right in! After quite a bit of poking and prodding, not to mention a full panel of tests, it was determined that my cat was likely just hot. It was a pretty expensive diagnosis, but I was relieved it wasn't something worse. The doctors and staff here are always so loving and kind. And while their prices are definitely premium (aren't all vets?) I do appreciate they have prescription meds on hand when I need them for my pets, and offer discounts if you offer full diagnostic panels. I am so happy to have found them!

    They had my dog to trim her nails. She had to be sedated cause she hates it. When I picked her up…read moreshe was lethargic. By the next day she is vomiting blood. I took her back and they said "correlation does not imply causation". It was all CYA. " not our problem ". The vet says he'll be right back. He goes out for 10+ minutes. I go to see what's going on. He was typing. My guess is that he is adjusting the report on the procedure. Ultimately my dog died. I'll never go back. And suggest the same for you.

    My dog loves going to "school"... Which is what I call daycare. He plays with all of his friends…read more(human and four legged). I love that they post pictures of all the animals daily so I can see what they are up to. When I pick him up I watch them cleaning and disinfecting everything which always reassures me that it's a priority. He did catch an illness that another dog brought in, but they were quick to let me know, quarantine all the doggies and verified he was clean when he came back to join his friends a few weeks later. Having my dog with a bunch of others, sometimes that happens so I don't blame them at all. What I appreciated was their quick response to it!!

    We started taking our puppy to this daycare after an initial trial day. Communication was unclear…read morefrom the start -- we weren't told a trial was required until we arrived -- but we gave them the benefit of the doubt. From the beginning, staff repeatedly told us our dog "never rested" and played nonstop for 8-9 hours. While she came home happy, she was so exhausted she couldn't walk from the car to the house, often skipping dinner and collapsing from fatigue. There was no indication the daycare provided structured rest or quiet time for dogs, which should have been our first red flag. Within a couple of months, our puppy developed multiple illnesses -- kennel cough, canine coronavirus, and mycoplasma -- despite not being exposed to any other dogs outside daycare. Weeks of treatment and vet bills followed. After she recovered, we tried again many months later, only for her to develop warts, a cyst, E. coli, giardia, and additional infections requiring surgeries and more medication. We paused attendance again and eventually returned much later, hoping conditions had improved. After her first visit back, she came home with rashes, itchy paws, and a bite or scratch mark, plus diarrhea the next day. It's clear this facility lacks proper sanitation, supervision, and rest structure. Dogs are left to run without regulation or downtime, leading to stress, injuries, and illness. We've since switched to another daycare where our dog stays healthy, happy, and balanced after each visit. Owners deserve to know: this facility may look fun on the surface, but the lack of hygiene, structure, and care puts dogs at serious risk.
