He looked like he had laid on the wet floor. He is white and had a dirt line on his stomach. My husband went in the back to get him and said it was filthy, looked like he and the other dogs had not been out of their kennel at all. No water for him. Poop and pee in the kennel. It appeared the they did not remove him from his kennel and sprayed it out with the hose. Now a week later he has kennel cough! Fully vaccinated but I guess with stress and a wet and cold environment respiratory infections if present can even effect young healthy dogs.

When the previous owners retired after over twenty years and closed the business it created a serious issue for us of where to board our dogs when we needed to get out of town and could not bring them along.

Stop in and check it out. I am sure you will be as pleased as we were. 4+ stars here.

She is so caring and I know our fur babies (cats, dogs and rabbits), as well as our turtle, fish and even my husband's hawk (he is a falconer) are in excellent hands. She sends pictures of our pets which eases the worry while we are gone. We have had other pet sitters and Kathy has been the absolute best. I can go away without worrying at all. We have some odd things, (feeding the hawk raw quail) that we needed done and she has been a trooper in doing them all and then some, like bringing in the mail and putting away garbage cans from the street and even watering plants. Kathy has also done some in home dog training consults with our dogs and I really like her style of dog training, very practical, respectful, and realistic. She is so knowledgeable and she's such a joy to be around. We are really going to miss her when she moves but are so grateful to have had her in our lives over the years. Cheers to her new adventures.

Everything was set for early January of 2025, but my mom died on the 16th and I couldn't keep the schedule. When I began attempting to contact Daniel in March, he was MIA. I felt bad for him and thought there must have been a tragedy in his family. Not so, he is just dodging me. I dont care about the lost 2 weeks. I just want my 1k back. Shame on you.

As June approached, I reached out again -- multiple times -- to follow up and get a specific date set. My messages were never responded to. It's now the end of June. At this point, I just want my money back so I can take my dog elsewhere to someone who's reliable and professional the least you can do is communicate and issue a refund.

I started as a customer/student to learn how to groom my Scottie. Later Adrian and Nicole took over as the handlers of my beautiful Scottie girl - Lola! As groomers/handlers these two are exemplary. Their communication skills are good, their commitment to the high standards set by the AKC is solid and they are more than willing to mentor a newbie (like me!). As a business, Tango Kennels reflects the dedication to the proper care of animals in general, dogs in particular of the owners. Beyond that? They are available to help in rescue situations, have stepped in to help during a major illness I experienced this past year and do their best to provide consistent and comfortable care for your fur babies! You cannot go wrong with Tango Kennels.

Countryside Canine and Olivia have truly been life-changing for us. We sent our female Belgian…read moreMalinois, Athena, to Olivia's 5-week program, and it was an absolute game changer. A little backstory--Athena was a COVID puppy, so she didn't get the proper early socialization she needed, especially with other dogs. On top of that, being a Belgian Malinois, she has very unique needs. Her prey drive is incredibly high, and so was her anxiety. Walks used to be stressful--she would react to every noise, person, or animal. Even getting her into the car felt like wrestling a bear. After training with Olivia, it honestly felt like we got a whole new dog back. Athena still has some anxiety and that natural Malinois prey drive, but now I have the tools and confidence to manage both effectively. We now go on daily walks--often twice a day. I've taken her to large parks and on short hikes, and she's been amazing. I'm even planning to take her on a multi-day camping and hiking trip--something I never would have imagined before her training. The biggest difference is that Olivia didn't just train my dog--she trained me too. She gave me the knowledge and tools to continue working with Athena at home, and Athena has taken to it like a fish to water. It's such a great feeling to have a smart, engaged, and obedient dog to enjoy life with. I can't thank Olivia enough for everything she's done. I highly recommend Olivia and Countryside Canine!

I sent my 10-month-old Australian Shepherd to board and train with Olivia and, in the best way…read morepossible, he came back a different dog: the same sweet personality, but with dramatically better self-control. I enrolled him for three weeks and ended up adding a fourth. His biggest challenges were reactivity, anxiety, recall, and staying engaged with me around distractions. Before training, he would bark and lunge at strangers, bolt through open doors, and ignore commands the moment something more interesting appeared. Now he's calm on and off leash, reliably holds commands until released, and consistently checks back in with me instead of running off. What impressed me most wasn't just the behavior change, it was the foundation Olivia built. Nix now understands how to look to me for guidance when he's distracted, stressed, or uncertain. The results have been more durable and meaningful than anything I achieved through months of research, classes, private lessons, and thousands of dollars spent on training. I was initially skeptical of board and trains, and balanced training methods, particularly e-collars and slip leads, because of so many traumatic videos out there. Olivia completely changed my perspective. She uses these tools thoughtfully, gently, and effectively--not to intimidate or hurt dogs, but to communicate clearly despite distractions. Nix isn't fearful or shut down; if anything, he's more confident, more relaxed, and more connected to me than ever before. Of all the money I've spent on training, Olivia's board-and-train was by far the best investment I've made in my dog. The transformation has been remarkable, and our relationship is stronger because of it.
