THANKFUL FOR LISE & MAILEE (Owners and trainers of Funtastic K9 Training)! Without their help, my 4…read moremonth old lab/Shepard would have grown up with no leash manners, no impulse control, continued biting/aggression, and would not have been potty trained! Funtastic K9 Training offers a wide range of selection in terms of training your dog, whether it be training a puppy or a full grown adult dog, or whether it's just a simple boarding situation. Either way, I am so happy that I trusted Lise and Mailee with my puppy, Pixie, as she was in their Puppy Board & Training for a week. As I am located 2 hours away in Duluth, Mn, I made the decision to put Pixie in Funtastic K9 Training's Puppy Board and Training program, and I am SO glad that I did. Lise & Mailee worked with Pixie intensively, they offer live updates on their Facebook page, as well as on their Periscope - where you can watch them train your dog through live videos, ask questions in real time, learn new tips, and listen in on their weekly Q&A periscope videos every Sunday! Lise and Mailee teach not only your dog, but you as well. Prior to training with Funtastic K9 Training, I thought that the dogs who had bad behavior were the ones at fault, when all along, it was often because of the bad behavior that owners taught to their dogs. Having picked up Pixie from her Puppy B&T, I can see the huge improvement that has come from training with Funtastic K9 Training for a week. Pixie now listens to her commands, is potty trained, has impulse control, enters her kennel when told, has threshold manners, leash manners, and looks to me for guidance in her next move/command. Even after training with Lise and Mailee for a week, they still offer guidance and tips whenever you need help with continuing the training at home; they make themselves available to help you whenever they can, and I - as well as so many others who have trained with Funtastic K9 Training - really appreciate it! If you are looking to train and/or board your dog, definitely keep Funtastic K9 Training at the top of your list! I guarantee that you will not regret it!!

A note: they don't do early drop off or late pick up (but the hours are excellent and I've dropped off my dog at 6:30 and picked her up 11 hours later) for daily doggy daycare. Highly recommend!

I originally scheduled time with another company to do private training, but when the trainer…read moredidn't show up for our appt I decided to looked at K9SF. Sam reached out and scheduled an hour long consultation to really gather info about my dog and her needs. He recommended a 2 week board and train and I also purchased 2 follow up in home training sessions. I immediately received calendar invites as well as text and email reminders prior to every appt. Sam was awesome! For the two weeks my girl Mae was in his care, I got daily in depth emails on her training and progress, along with a few photos. The follow up sessions were great too as it help to focus on things she still needed work on, as well as help me learn what I was doing wrong. Can't recommend Sam or K9SF enough!

Couldn't ask for better!…read more So, my cat is old and by old I mean almost 19. She's not super active, has a bit of a pancreas issue, but still lives a great life laying around on the couch or the bed, getting fed whenever she's hungry and is generally a great cat. We were out of town for 2 trips over 2 weekends and part of 1 week, as was my regular sitter, so I thought, "Hey maybe the vet has a place they would recommend?" And they did. I immediately called Silver Dog and left a message. The office manager Robin called me right back and answered all my crazy questions - Do you feed her on a regular schedule? Yes. Can you give her medicine? Yes. How often do you clean the condo? Twice a day. Do you play with them? Yes. Will she be around other cats? No. We have the ability to house 18 cats. Will she be around dogs? No. Are you staffed at all times? 12 hours a day. In addition to all of the above, they provided the litter and box and the food dish. She even told me to pop in to check the place out. So I did. Cat condos are 3 levels. At least one side of the condo has a window and on the lower level, there is an aquarium for the cats to check out, yet they cannot see other cats, which is good for my old timer. About half way through my travels I called to check on her, and they were having a great time with her, so I really felt at ease. They even called my vet to find out if she was up to date on her immunizations and confirmed the medication procedures. I was very happy with service provided by Silver Dog and the staff was very happy to have such a friendly and gentle cat. My regular sitter is going to be sad, but this will be my go to joint going forward.
