Barb was amazing from start to finish! She helped my wife and me get all the information we needed about boarding, grooming, and training services. Our fur baby is now going back for his second Master Class, and Barb was incredibly helpful in getting everything set up for that as well. She went above and beyond to answer our questions and even helped us secure the same trainer from our original 28-day training program, which we truly appreciated. Barb's customer service, knowledge, and kindness made the entire process easy and stress-free. We highly recommend SNUG to anyone looking for quality training, boarding, and grooming services for their furry family members! read more

We moved to San Diego in 2022 and for the last year have been using Dr. Desnoyers for our 10 year old American Eskimo. The care Ty has received has been nothing less than exceptional! There is so much more at Snug's that we recently took advantage of and it's the best in the business. We recently had Ty boarded a number of times and each time he has come back clean and healthy. A big change from services we used in the past with really poor results. The staff at Snug's are warm and friendly and earn repeat visits. You will not be disappointed!!!! read more

This review is for the dog training. I was 5 minutes late, 100% my fault, but was then made to wait 20 minutes and no trainer ever came out at all. Poor professionalism, plain and simple. I was just trying to get help for my dog. Don't punish pet owners for showing up trying to do right by their dogs. This was a waste of my time and an insult to anyone actually trying to be a responsible dog owner. read more

Well...we had a crazy pack of GSDs. Covid and life led to them not having the training they needed and then tragic life event pivoted us to board & train. We are still in follow up trainings but no words can express my gratitude to our trainer Josh for his expertise and understanding of what each of them needed individually and as a group. We know it's on us to keep up with the new skills, but we are so grateful for the kindness, care, and individual approach Josh brought to our pups. Our home is evolving into a calm and controlled environment and we couldn't be more happy with the Snug team. read more

Snug was recommended to me by a neighbor and I was interested in having my senior dog possibly attend their day care. Before being accepted as a new daycare/boarding client, a vet exam and proof of vaccinations/fecal test were required, so we we made an appointment and went in for a basic exam. Dr. Nicolle was kind, friendly, and honest which I truly appreciated. She assessed that Snug would not be a good environment for my dog due to her senior age and heart condition, which is under maintenance (she's otherwise a healthy and happy, albeit lazy, 14 year old gal). I'm a little bummed that they don't have something like a separate area for quiet play and lounging, because the facilities from what I could see were so impressive and the staff was friendly. I think my dog would have enjoyed day care there if she was in her younger years or if they had a separate "low key" space. But I truly appreciate Dr. Nicolle's time and honesty with us and her care and attention to my dog, and for that I am happy to leave a positive review :) read more

We've had an amazing experience with Pet Snug Resort in San Diego. Our Australian Shepherd, Bleu, goes there for both boarding and day care, and he absolutely loves it. The moment we pull into the lot, he's already excited to go inside -- which tells me everything I need to know. The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and professional. It's clear they genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like their own. Bleu always comes home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed, which is exactly what you want when trusting someone with your dog. The facility is clean, well-organized, and designed so dogs can play, socialize, and rest comfortably. I also really appreciate the communication and how easy they make the drop-off and pick-up process. If you're in San Diego and looking for a place where your dog will be safe, cared for, and genuinely enjoy their time, I can't recommend Pet Snug Resort enough. Bleu can't wait to go back -- and neither can we. read more

Aaron is awesome! I have a malinois that is 10 months old and I left her with Aaron for 6 weeks and he came back to me bigger and well behaved, but kept still has his spunk. I can walk him calmly on a leash now, which is a big deal because he's strong and he was reactive. Thank you!! read more

My pup absolutely LOVES going to Snug. I know because of his reaction and happy bark when he sees the handler coming to check him in. The live camera allows me to see him playing in the amazing outdoor space. Snug is Jacks Disneyland. Jack had extensive training at Snug and many overnights and daycare. I feel fabulous about the care my dog receives at Snug and I've recommended them many times. read more

Snug was able to board out cat Mac same day after PetSmart hotel wouldn't take him since his rabies vaccination expired during his stay. We called in a panic and they had one spot left for the thanksgiving holiday. Phew! The staff was friendly, reassuring and greeted Mac warmly. Better yet, there is a vet on staff who can administer his rabies shot. No 48 hour hold or issues like Petsmart's policy. This was a huge relief. Their cat condos are upstairs and visible from the lobby. An awesome staff member gave Mac rubs before putting him in his condo. We were able to ho on vacation feeling assured our fur baby will be well cared for. Thank you, Snug! read more

My dog absolutely loves it here! On the days I have to go into work, I don't like to leave my puppy at home by herself. I brought her to Snug and boy does she love it! I check on her on the cameras during the day, and she's playing and having a great time. When I come pick her up, she doesn't want to leave! It gives me comfort knowing that she is well taken care of (if you provide lunch for your dog, they will make sure she's fed at the appropriate time), and that my puppy has a lot of fun. It's a great way to socialize her and she comes home tired from her fun day. The people watching the dogs in the day care are dog trainers so I feel confident that they know how to handle all situations. Thank you Snug! read more

I highly recommend and absolutely love Snug. My dog, Storm has been trained, consistently boarded and attended doggy day care for over10 years. I travel the majority of the year and have to board Storm at a minimum between 2-4weeks at a time each month. He lives at Snug more than at home. He absolutely loves it and literally leaps out of my arms as soon as he sees Amy and Sarah. Amy and Sarah provide stellar service, treat Storm like a cherished celebrity and treat me as family. Storm was recently diagnosed with a heart condition. I have piece of mind and comfort knowing that Snug has always taken the absolute best care of Storm. I'm so grateful for Amy, Sarah and the entire Snug family. Thank you, Stacey & Storm read more

Our puppy just one year old. We enrolled her in a 4 week boot camp at Snug. What a wonderful facility and their staff is so helpful. Our trainer did a great job of getting our girl to walk on a leash properly. She learned many other commands and was much easier to control. She is a spunky girl, and enjoys socializing with other pups. Now she knows when and where she can do this! Yes, she has manners now!!! Mark has been terrific during our one on one follow up lessons. He is unbelievably patient, a wonderful dog trainer!! We are so glad we enrolled our girl at Snug, we were given the recommendation from our daughter's friends)! read more

My Golden Retriever is a frequent flier here and loves it. We use them for daycare and overnight boarding. He gets excited as soon as we pull into the parking lot. The video cameras work well, and I love being able to watch him swim. The staff are great at being present in the dog play area. They intervene and ensure the dogs are playing well together, giving time outs, stopping humping etc. It would be nice if the dogs had more room to run but overall five stars and recommend. We tried three or four different places before settling on this one after a recommendation from a friend. I love that they offer late night and early morning pick ups (for an added fee). It makes it very convenient for traveling. read more

I want to share my experience with Snugs Pet Resort in San Diego. It is not just another pet training facility but a transformative experience for pets and their owners. We enrolled our dog, Kaia, in their two-week training program led by Aaron, and the results have been remarkable. As recent cross-country transplants, this program served as a timely refresher for Kaia, who was just shy of turning one (and not a little puppy anymore!). Aaron's approach to dog training is both compassionate and effective, striking the perfect balance between discipline and care. His expertise is evident in how quickly Kaia adapted to the new commands and overcame her previous fears (she wasn't a big fan of either hats or men with beards- two characteristics of Aarons). Throughout the two-week training program, Aaron was an exceptional resource for us. He provided regular updates on Kaia's progress, which allowed us to stay informed and actively involved in the training process. We appreciated Aaron's personalized approach, which took into account Kaia's unique needs and behaviors. He provided actionable insights that were specific to Kaia's obstacles and previous training, and as a result, the training experience felt tailored to our dog's individual needs. Even after the training program ended, Aaron remained accessible and supportive. He made himself available to answer any questions we had and provided additional guidance to help us continue reinforcing Kaia's new behaviors. Aaron continued to interact with Kaia during daycare and weekend training sessions, and my fiance, myself and Kai are always happy to see him. The continued interaction helped to reinforce the effectiveness of the training in the long term, and it was clear that Aaron genuinely cared about Kaia's well-being and development. Overall, we were incredibly impressed with Aaron's expertise and dedication. He went above and beyond to ensure that Kaia received the best possible training experience, and he provided us with the tools and support we needed to continue reinforcing her new behaviors (truly, I cannot overstate how much Kaia LOVES him). We would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a highly personalized and effective dog training experience. We still use their daycare training (which is an INCREDIBLE deal, especially comparatively). The joy Kaia exhibits when she knows she's headed to Snugs speaks volumes about the quality of care and the amount of play and training she receives (and she always leaves smiling and exhausted). We couldn't be more satisfied with the results and the peace of mind this service provides. read more

We have been clients of Snug for 3 years. Very grateful for the care they have provided to Abbey. The staff at Snug have always made sure Abbey was their first priority. When there was an issue with her health, they responded quickly and appropriately. When we've had questions, they have always taken time to address our concerns. Boarding and daycare should be flexible and responsive, Snug has always exceeded my expectations. I love the cameras so I can check in during the day. Abbey loves the staff and is excited to attend daycare. A special THANKS to Sarah, Aimee, Barb, and Robyn who go above and beyond to care for Abbey while she's visiting. read more

We boarded our pup for two weeks with the TLC package add on. Everything went very smooth, from drop off, daily updates and finally pickup. The prices are comparable to other boarding options in San Diego and the space is kept clean. My dog seemed in very good spirits when I picked him up, so I know he enjoyed his stay at Snug Pet Resort. We will try out the day care services soon, so be on the lookout for an updated review. In the meantime, I highly recommend Snug Pet Resort for your boarding needs. read more

My corgi underwent the board and train program for three weeks and I couldn't recommend this program enough. Specifically, Mark went above and beyond during his time with our corgi. Mark built a relationship with him and was able to work on the issues we were having. I know my dog and I could tell he was treated well when I saw how he interacted with Mark. Furthermore, Mark provided all of the updates we needed to make us feel comfortable and was very communicative and transparent with how our corgi was doing. I would totally do this again if I needed to. read more

I cannot express enough how thankful we are for Snug Pet Resort and our trainer Mark! Our dog is a lab mix ( maybe Pitt and lab) he was a rescue and is 120lbs and 3 years old now but was 2 years and 10 months when he went through the onboard training. Our dog was very reactive on leash and off, he did not want anyone else in our home if it weren't us and would bark and growl at any visitors. Mark completely changed our dogs life and ours. Visitors are welcome, a muzzle is required for initial visits when meeting people but after that we just keep the shock collar on and he is very well behaved. I used to wonder how we would ever be able to take our dog out on walks without reactive behavior and this training changed his life, our dog is so respectful and calm. read more

Now we go to weekly group classes which is free, Happy goes crazy happy when she sees Mark,Mark even asked her to stay longer to make sure that she is ready She is now a changed pup! Nick our group class instructor is very good in training all 15-20 dogs tHe is funny and assertive and we all love him, Money well spent for the 3? weeks boarding and training in Snug Plus all the staff is super friendly and helpful, even for a frugal me it is a good investment. ! read more

Best training facility in SoCal. Aaron is a very experienced and amazing trainer. He takes the time to explain everything so that we understand the reason and logic behind everything. My service dog was trained by Snug. I am super happy with the results. We go back every few weeks for refresher training and my dog always loves going back. With the master's class, I have unlimited group sessions for life. I would highly recommend these guys if you really want excellent training for your dog. Also, remember, as the owner or handler, it is your job to continue reinforcing everything you pup leaned at training. If you don't, they will still behave but they will forget what they learned. If you are going to make the investment, this place will go above and beyond to get your dog to where they need to be. This training is not cheap. But it is worth every cent. You get exactly what you pay for. Call these guys. Ask for Barb. Tell them you want Aaron to train your dog. You can't go wrong with the Snug team. read more

Long review but worth the read! I found Snug on a recommendation from a friend who took their puppy for training. I have a rescue dog who was severely abused in his previous "life" so he's bonded to us and WAY over protective. That means he likes NOBODY and no other animals. We started with the training. Worth every penny! He still doesn't like other animals or people but, so much better behaved in general. We knew that was going to be the case as he was already 6 when we rescued him so his behavior was more set in place. He's super smart so he knows right from wrong and still chooses to do what he wants at times. It's kinda like having a teenager all over again. But I can actually manage him on a walk and he'll ignore people as long as they keep their distance from us. Definitely a HUGE difference from before training! Started boarding with them when we travel because he wasn't tolerating dog sitters. Still can't do daycare with other dogs but we add on the TLC package so that he gets individual play time while he's there. I really love that they send us pictures while we're gone so we can see how happy he is! The reason I'm writing specifically now is because we just boarded him this week and it was an AMAZING experience. When we brought him in, David was so excited to see him AND our Boomer was super excited to see David! We have NEVER seen that from him with another person! He jumped in his arms and kissed him like he was "his person"! Made us feel so good to know that this was a good experience for him. When we picked him up this morning, and I said who we were there for, Natalie got a huge smile on her face and said that he was the sweetest dog and loved him! We have NEVER heard that from someone before! He really is sweet...to us...but not anyone else. And there is so much anxiety when we take him places because of that. Snug is, hands down, the best thing that has happened for us as dog owners. They have brought out the sweet side of our baby like no one else has ever done. I couldn't ask for a better experience for us or for our baby! The picture is one they texted during his most recent stay - it makes it so much easier to enjoy my trip when I see how happy he is! read more

5+ *s My baby, now 11, has been attending Snug for over 6 years. As a younger rescue dog, she was very nervous. We hired a trainer who helped her gain confidence, and soon, she seemed to feel "free". Looking for a daycare for occasional day stays and possible overnight boarding was like looking for a daycare for my child, which, of course, she is. After trying several and having to force my baby to go, I decided my husband and I would work out a way to make sure she was never alone. Eventually, i started to search for daycare again and found Snug. The staff was friendly and welcoming. When I brought my baby in, she was a bit hesitant, but with coaxing and a treat, she was off and running. Years later, she has the impression she owns the place, aka Princess. With Snug's staff, she has blossomed into a happy, confident girl. She goes crazy when I tell her we are going. As she comes over for her obligatory great and seems prepared to venture back into her kennel! So, I love them, Barb will greet you at the front with her beautiful smile. Sorry, ladies, Mark is taken by my girl. Haha! She adores him. All of the staff love her and love their jobs. I am not 100% certain about the names, but everyone there is happy and will take great care of your baby. read more

I want to start my review off by really stressing that I love both of my dogs and would DIE FOR THEM. They are my precious children. That being said, my dog Bear is the biggest A-hole on the planet. He was an impossible puppy and dog. We were going insane. We couldn't take a shower without him SCREAMING at the top of his lungs. He wrecked everything. Screamed in the car. Ate everything. EVERYTHING. No puppy spray mattered. We looked into dog training. We found snug! We sent our incredibly stubborn dog, Bear, to the 8 week masters class. Holy crap. First off, he pees every time he goes there because he loves it so much. He loves the staff, even the Vet, and he LOVES his trainer Megan! He's still an A-hole, but he's a manageable A-hole. I can bring him to store, dispensary, park, people's houses, and I can handle him. It's been over a year, and as long as we continue to keep up with the training, he continues to thrive. The best part is that we can SHOWER. He just chills on his bed. It's been over a year and we now adopted another dog. She's more mild mannered and we sent her for one month. She also worked with Megan. It's been one week and it's already so much easier with them both being trained, especially knowing the same commands. Mocha is a 70lb shepherd/pit mix, and Bear is a 65lb pit/cur mix. Make no mistake though; I'd send a 2 pound yorkie. My favorite thing about their training programs though, is my dogs cam out with the same personalities. They didn't try to "change" my dog, or get them to "submit". They gave my dogs tools for structure and expectations. I recommend Snug for training ALL THE TIME. My dogs listen to me but most importantly they are HAPPILY DOING SO. We have a trusting relationship. I can cook, clean, have guests, talk on the phone, and my dogs will stay placed on their beds, happily and comfortably, without distress. With bully sticks and toys of course. read more

I have been taking my 1 year old Beagle to doggie daycare every week at Snug since December 2023 and have been thoroughly impressed with the ambiance and services provided at the Pet Resort. The entire staff is incredibly friendly and wonderful with animals. There are even cameras to allow pet owners to watch the dogs at play. My dog always comes home happy and exhausted from a fun day at Snug. I recommend the 15-day doggie daycare package, which is affordable and nicely discounted. One of the staff members, Sarah, has been extremely helpful with dog questions and even found a useful Training Dog Chain Slip Collar for my dog. read more

I cannot recommend Snug enough!!! I have told every pet owner I know about their amazing training program! My 3yo pup needed training and with another baby on the way we decided to jump at the opportunity. We signed up for the 3 week training and the results are amazing! We still need to do our part as owners and continue our in home training but with the training he received it makes it so much easier for us to follow through. I would like to note that our pup has extreme separation anxiety, after the training he still does (just like humans, anxiety is not something you can fix through training), but we have noticed that he is A LOT calmer. The commands that we were taught have worked and lots of hugs and kisses have helped him as well :) The initial contact with Toni was great, she was very responsive and explained everything throughly. We got assigned to Megan and oh my lanta, we struck gold with her!!! We immediately felt super comfortable leaving our dog in her care, 3 weeks is a long time so having peace of mind knowing Megan was in charge made the 3 weeks fly by! At the end of the 3 week training, my husband and I needed our in person training. I'm sure we were more difficult than our pup was but Megan was super patient with us :) We drilled her with every question that came to mind on the spot and she answered all of them without hesitation. Seeing our pup get excited to see her every time we did an in-person visit made us even more excited that she did the training! All in all Snug was great from start to finish! Thank you Toni, Megan and the rest of the Snug team for everything! read more

Shortly after adopting my dog, Winnie, I discovered that she was dog reactive. She was 2 years at the time and didn't know basic commands and exhibited high levels of energy. We trained with Michaela who put in additional time and effort to not only teach Winnie important command and set boundaries, but also give her a ton of love and affection. We went from barking and lunging at the sight of other dogs to participating calmly and obeying commands in a group class with 8 other dogs in just a few months! Winnie has come so far! After completing the board and train program, I continue to take Winnie to Snug for daycare services. Everyone knows Winnie by name and is extremely friendly when they meet us each morning. Snug is Winnie's second home. I'm very happy with their services. read more

Sent my pups to training camp for 3 weeks. There was a snafu with the vet, and we received a sincere apology. I felt OK about things after that. We didn't get consistent weekly email updates/photos, and we received a sincere apology. I felt OK about things after that. Just transitioned to group classes, and it was close to being a complete waste of time. Other than the primary trainer in the center of the circle (who was hard to hear), the others were just chilling by the fence. We left after 40 minutes; three other human/pup combos had already left the group session before we did. read more

We took our new puppy for his very first training at Snug with Dominique and WOW the difference after just one 45-min training is amazing! We shared that the biggest challenge we had was near-constant puppy mouthing/biting, which we had accepted as just a phase we had to wait out. But Dominique gave us strategies that have changed his behavior the same day to nearly zero nips. We have more trainings to come but already can say we wholeheartedly recommend Dominique and Snug! read more

Had a great experience with them. My dog went through the 8 week training program recommended to me by Barb My dog is now fully trained and obedient to commands. Thank you snug!! Also wanted to mention that Barb was extremely attentive and patient with me through the whole process. My dog is my child and she made me feel safe and comfortable. There was another lady at the desk who wasn't very nice AT ALL, but Barb quickly took over when she overheard her coworker lose her patience with me. The world needs more people like her. read more
