    Was nervous at first but, was truly amazing and she came back absolutely pooped. Definitely recommend it to busy family that need a good spot to take their fury friends.

    We had to board our cat while on vacation last week. I was a little nervous, because I wasn't sure if a boarding place would take him due to some messy health issues, but the amazing folks at The Paw accepted him without any problem. They were great about making sure to ask exactly what he needed, from his food to his meds. He got plenty of attention from the employees, so he wasn't lonely. I love their cat room; each "cat condo" is surprisingly big with multiple levels, and the actual room is like a big play room with huge scratching posts, huts, and toys. They also have a 24 hour webcam, so I was able to check on him whenever I wanted. Cost wasn't bad either; it was about $170 for 6 days, which was actually less than they quoted me. If we ever have to board again, I'll absolutely go with them.

    Activities that make me feel like my dog is special and cared for!

    Our dog loves the Paw! Regularly attend daycare weekly and the occasional boarding. The staff is very attentive, friendly, and willing to answer any questions. Only down side is pickup is sometimes slow.

    The owners of this place are a total nightmare to deal with. The staff is good, I'm surprised they can deal with working for such people.

    Everything went well! This is a great facility with great staff. In fact, we recently moved and are frustrated with our current options.

    Becky is incredible! I have a 5 month old Jack Russell terrier. I've read a lot (hours!) about how…read moreto train him. We've attended puppy classes. I took him to the dog park regularly and provided plenty of socialization. There were some issues that I couldn't correct including that he would become rough and easily excited during play. Potty training was the biggest hurdle we encountered. No matter what I did it couldn't get the puppy to consistently go outside to potty. I was apprehensive at the thought of sending my puppy to a stranger for two weeks at first. I was put at ease when I met Becky. It's evident that she truly cares about the dogs she works with. She sent me on average three YouTube videos a day. She did tell me to let her know if that was too many or too much information coming at me at once. She answered my messages in a timely manner and explained things well. I was concerned there was a medical reason behind the difficulty with potty training. Ideally, I should've had him evaluated prior to sending him off to train. Planning isn't always my strength. I felt better about him seeing a vet to rule out any underlying medical problem. It was difficult for me to drive to Becky's to take my puppy to the vet. She offered to meet me in the twin cities but I couldn't make it work because of other things going on at the time. Becky was completely understanding about the entire situation. She took him to a local vet for me. The vet and Becky called me to make sure I was informed about the situation and to go over options. Ruling out any medical problems gave us confirmation that it was a behavior issue. Becky was able to successfully potty train my puppy! That alone made it worth it to send him to be trained! The icing on the proverbial cake was he also came home a well mannered, calmer dog. People have commented how well he listens now. Becky brought my puppy home when training was complete. She even wrote up personalized plans for him and I to do such as obedience commands he's learned, housebreaking plan, and homework to keep up his training. She even wrote up lists for my kiddos that help them learn how to show leadership when interacting with our puppy. I cannot express how thankful I am that he had an opportunity to have my puppy train with Becky. I would highly recommend Becky to anyone that is having issues training their dog or simply wants a better mannered dog. I believe there would be a lot less dogs in shelters if we had more people like Becky!

    Absolutely incredible! My lab mix puppy was completely transformed thanks to the incredible service…read morehe received. My puppy struggled with basic manners. After two weeks not only did he master the basics (sit, stay, leave it) he also learned how to respect boundaries of other animals and children. It's been such a relief taking him to dog parks, pet stores or relatives homes with small children. Highly recommend!!
