Our Aussie had never been away from us so leaving him was tough for him & us. Jaymie & her family were so wonderful with helping him get settled & feel comfortable & confident. They included training techniques with him that I didn't realize he'd been missing. Now we drop him off there every once in a while for a day away & he loves it!

I live in California and the Airlines have specific and strict requirements for flying pets. I called Petco in Wasilla, and explained the situation. The staff, especially Janie, Haley and Katie, went above and beyond to help me meet all the requirements for the flight. Their trainer even made sure Doodles fit in the carrier properly so there would be no problems during check-in. Because of all of you, Doodles is here in California with family, being loved and cared for, and caring for his dog, has brought a measure of comfort in the loss of my brother. I hope Corporate Petco reads this, your people in Wasilla deserve recognition for the kind of employees and people they are! Thank you Jamie, Haley & Katie, thank you Petco Wasilla!!!

She also needs an indoor facility for winter group classes. She is an experienced trainer who should expand her offerings.

I can't say enough good things about them!

I was devastated that we had unwittingly put our young dog in this situation. This was several years ago but... Beware!

I chatted with Kristina before booking her in to Howl-a-Day and she instantly put me at ease. She understood Pipers needs and didn't have a problem accommodating them. Because they have indoor/outdoor runs, Piper was able to stay separate from other dogs and humans and still get outside for play and potty time. :) When a snowstorm hit the morning, I was supposed to pick Piper up and I couldn't get out of Anchorage, she was able to keep Piper for an extra day no problem! Will definitely book with Howl-a-Day again! It's great to have another resource for boarding when unexpected travel comes up!

I do not recommend Atlas Working K9's! She sent me 2 cease & desist letters & lied about a…read moresettlement when it came to this review. Yelp has now placed a consumer alert on Atlas Working K9 for misusing the legal system. I have video, screenshots, audio recording, & multiple witnesses to validate my review. She also keeps flagging my pictures in hopes to remove my review. Then you have her ex fiancé Mike Milsap & business partners Courtney Odem's husband (who lives in Texas) commenting on here to give her a higher star rating. She also reviewed herself for a higher star rating which was removed. Annabelle is a huge bully & has threatened me 4 times now, made false statements about me, highly unprofessional, & in my opinion not a good dog trainer or person. First, She told me my dog could not be a service dog because of his high drive when she hadn't even worked with him yet. After I already paid $2,875 for board & train! His main goal was to be a service dog not a pet since I don't have a lifestyle that supports a pet dog. Second, I only went to her because it looked like online she did positive reinforcement & she was recommended by the breeder. However, she put a prong collar on my 3 month puppy when I said I wasn't comfortable using a prong since he was so young. A prong collar isn't used in positive reinforcement & shouldn't be used on a puppy under 6 months. She does put prong collars on every dog she works with from what I've seen. I did see an improvement in my puppy with this other trainer after she quit working for Annabelle & no longer had to follow Annabelle's methods. The biggest improvement started when we stopped using the prong collar. Third, no refunds offered at the time she told me my puppy had potential genetic hip dysplasia. She told me if I returned him to the breeder she would just use what was left of my training to train a different dog, not issue a refund. Forth, highly unprofessional & threatened legal action against me 3 times in an attempt to scare me into removing my honest reviews. First threat came when she posted a cryptic post that talked about "stop blaming the dog & the breeder for being at fault & the reason for rehoming a dog". It seemed it was aimed towards me & my dog so I commented & she claimed it wasn't about him (but she had him in her possession at the time of the post). Then she threatened me in private message saying I'd hear from her attorney if I talked bad about her. Second threat was when she SENT ME A CEASE & DESIST LETTER THE DAY SHE POSTED SHE NOW OWNED MY PUPPY & RENAMED HIM! Then in a second social media post over exaggerated everything I said about the puppy as the reasons why I sold him back to the breeder to discredit me & my experience with him!!! Third threat was a 2nd cease & desist letter threatening criminal charges due to my reviews & said I could no longer talk or post about my former puppy Zenyokai (now Apollo)! Not only that but threatening criminal charges against reviews is a very unethical scare tactic to silence me & get me to remove my honest reviews! As well as now owning my puppy & renaming him which seems to be out of spite! Update: She now posted on Facebook & on this review response claiming Zenyokai (apollo) was malnutritioned. (He was not) Then after creating her response on google & slanderous Facebook post, in one of her 20 harassing text messages to me she said I was a great dog mom & cared deeply for zenyokai now apollo. She's using zenyokai (apollo) as a pawn to bash me & the trainer who formerly worked for her. Unfortunately she has google & Yelp flag all my screenshots of proof. So no I do not recommend Atlas Working K9!

We even booked their stay with her several weeks in advance to ensure they had a spot with her. Our pups will be staying with her for 2 whole weeks and she is one of on a very small list of people whom we trust to properly care for our pups in the same way we do. We know they'll get all the love and care they need so we don't have to worry while we're away. We have been working with Annabelle for 2 years now and will continue to do so. Her valuable knowledge and experience create an opportunity for each and every dog to succeed that comes her way. We value her opinion and highly recommend her. We look forward to enrolling in her new play based program in the near future!
