The Board Hound has been an amazing resource for me and my pup Finn. Finn is 2 years old and has…read moreextreme separation anxiety and is sensitive to...well just about everything. The Board Hound was recommended by the Animal Behavior Wellness Center (Fairfax) early in our journey. Everyday they balance group play with enrichment and learning (brain games). For example, last week they introduced Finn to bubbles and although he was tentative at first, with gentle encouragement he ended up loving the bubbles (the pics of his bubble exploration are in the attached report card)! This is just one example - they've not only reinforced my training but advanced Finn's training when it comes to reactivity (their training the "wait" command has been a godsend). The Board Hound's curriculum (my word) includes personalized care based on Finn's need, their recommendations are always given from their expertise and in the best interest of Finn. If Finn wants to be on the floor playing, in the suite resting, or needs one-on-one time, they accommodate regardless of what the "schedule" says. We recently moved houses and Finn struggled with the change and added stress. The Board Hound made me aware of the changes they had seen in his behavior and helped me manage his stress. They temporarily adjusted his day to ensure he was getting more rest, shortened his group play sessions to limit over stimulation, and increased his one-on-on time with the staff doing brain games and other activities. They provided updates and made sure I had a good sense of what they were seeing day-to-day. This reduced Finn's overall stress and made the transition to our new home easier. I cannot overstate how much I appreciate everything The Board Hound offers as support for my pup and his well being including the expertise of the staff, their excellent communication, and ongoing attentiveness to Finn's needs. I recommend their services to anyone.

After a few sessions, she started to play with all the dogs and became confident in her ability to socialize with puppies of different sizes. The puppy socials are on Sundays so it's very convenient for working dog parents. Additionally, they have staff in the sessions explaining what to do which we really appreciated! We learned a lot even though we thought we knew dog training very well. We never tried their other services but the staff is super nice and accommodating and highly recommend their puppy socials for new puppy owners. I believe they are $10 per session.

One of my favorite parts of every visit is chatting with the staff. They're talented and genuinely fun people who clearly love what they do. We always end up trading cat terminology--"toe beans," "bean sprouts," and whatever new phrase we've picked up that week. It's such a small thing, but it makes the whole experience feel personal. The team really knows how to pamper kittens and treat them like the royalty they believe they are. If you want your cats to be cared for by people who truly get them, this is the place. Highly recommend for any cat parent who wants their little ones to look fabulous and feel even better.

My dog Beatrix has separation anxiety but does well in daycare settings, so when I travel I will typically find a local daycare for a day so I can go to a museum or some other activity that is not dog friendly. I have specifically reached out to several day care facilities in the area with various degrees of success. I walked past District Dogs on a walk with Beatrix and stopped in to inquire about setting up an evaluation. The person at the counter told me to fill out the application on their website and then I can schedule the evaluation. I filled out the application, loading my vaccination records, and was able to book an evaluation for the very next day, which happened to be Christmas Eve. This sounds relatively simple right? Well it's not. Just scheduling an evaluation and loading vaccine records is usually a very painful process, but it was so easy with District Dogs! I dropped Beatrix off for the eval, and then she was able to stay for the rest of the day. Rates are comparable to other daycares and the cameras on the app worked well; I was glad I could look in on her throughout the day. 1,000% recommend District Dogs!

While I appreciate the friendly demeanor of the front desk staff and the overall appearance of the…read morefacility, I was quite disappointed with the level of care my dog received during his stay. First, I noticed that the space seemed too small for the number of dogs present. There was only one employee overseeing both the small and large dog areas, but she spent most of her time in the big dog area. Unfortunately, the small dogs were largely unattended, and the employee only went into the small dog area to clean up after pee or poop. This left the smaller dogs, including my own, without adequate supervision for extended periods. More concerning was the behavior of the staff member responsible for overseeing the dogs. It was clear to me that she did not have much care or concern for the animals. I observed her taking a couple of naps, ignoring the dogs, and even holding a small dog up in the air with one hand as if it were a toy. At one point, she removed all the small dogs from their designated area but left my 20-pound dog alone, only to later let in the larger dogs to share the same space. I have video evidence of all these. My dog was visibly stressed throughout the entire stay, his discomfort was evident. My recommendation to dog parents, always watch the cameras! and don't go with the look if the facility.

I honestly was comfortable and was not worried when I dropped my pup off for a few days, and Myron always responded to my emails to let me know how she was doing. I highly highly highly recommend him, as he is really good as it gets. They also offer dogwalking services, too. +ask for Mr. Myron +farm trip during the summer

That's how I found Myron and Pawsitive Pets. Myron was helpful from the moment I called him. He really wanted to know my needs and my dog's needs. He then offered a variety of options that could work with my lifestyle. Even though, I initially was looking for someone to walk my dog, we figured out that our best option was for him to look after my pup at his house for 3-4 hours a day. Myron's got a big house, and a huge backyard filled with lots of doggie toys, and 8 foot tall cement walls, so you never have to worry about your dog escaping! I'm really happy with the service, and now my dog gets to socialize with lots of other dogs, gets trips to the dog park, and lots of outdoor exercise time! This is exactly what he needed!
