After seeing the large outside playing area where I was told it was 13 dogs per 1 person ratio. I continue into the inside sleeping area. The lady said there is no night staff on duty. Only when I asked they told me the dogs are put to bed at 7:00 pm and the first pee break is at 7:00 am the next morning. Yes you heard correctly 12 hours. I couldn't help myself. I said that's ridiculous..very cruel. She told mr puppies go there and they are fine to hold it. I finished with I'm done wasting anymore of my time and I left. If you don't care about your pets, it's a great place to bring them.

We just boarded our one year old Mexican pup here for three weeks. The facility was impressively…read moreclean and the semi communal quarters ensured the dogs were at home and not lonely. The extensive outside enclosure meant all of the boarders had plenty of room to run and play several times a day. A necessary orientation trip and very knowledgeable staff ensured ours and other dogs were well suited and comfortable before being left to board. Churro was happy when we picked him up but kept looking back as though he wasn't sure he wanted to leave. Five stars for sure!

Haru's board & train program is complete, and it was an incredible success. Haru came back home…read morelike a different dog. Andrew and Leah did an amazing job with our boy. They put so much love, dedication, patience, and knowledge into his training, and you can truly see and feel it in Haru's behavior. The change is so remarkable that words can't fully express how grateful we are. They are true professionals who go above and beyond to help dogs and their families succeed. We couldn't be more proud of Haru and more thankful to have these two angels, Andrew and Leah, come into our lives. They have been true heroes to our family. I highly recommend K9focusdodtraining to anyone who has a furry family member. Sending Haru to their Board & Train program was one of the best decisions we have ever made. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Andrew, Leah, K9focusdodtraining, for giving us the tools to build a better life with Haru. K9focusdodtraining Where discipline is taught with love.

A Maisy ing Trainers! After adopting Maisy, a beagle-cross rescue, we were fortunate to meet K9…read moreFocus. They were very generous with their knowledge and time, and great with the dog. We opted for the Board and Train, and when Maisy came back, she was like a different dog! Before B&T she would not settle in a place for any length of time, and recalling her was a nightmare. AFTER, she is seeming more mellow, able to lie down and chill, comes back like a rocket when we call her, and is fantastic on walks, no tension on the leash, focused, and non-reactive to people, other dogs, vehicles and such. I can't thank K9 Focus enough for their caring approach to training US, as well as Maisy!

I have purchased two dogs over the year from this very knowledgeable and experienced breeder. I…read morehave referred many co-worker, friends, family as well. It is surprising how many people do not understand that NO breeder could predict cancer, addisons or any other unforseen illness like this. Needing someone to BLAME is more what I am reading. As far as deposits being non-refundable- that is CLEARLY STATED when you put in the deposit on their website. If people were refused a dog - good on the breeder for screening owners. I suggest visiting them in person. They actually have in person visits and answer the phone when you call unlike MOST OTHER BREEDERS. They are amazing at education and helping you through the process of raising your dog. I have heard so many horror stories from friends about scams and poor temermented dogs they bought on kijiji or from a puppy mill. The cost of a unhealthy dog from a home breeder just about bankrupted a friend of mine. So many of these reviews seem like they are people who are fake or unreasonable hard to please people.

We got our puppy in 2022. He recently had an Addisonian crisis that he barely survived and is now…read morediagnosed with Addison´s disease. This disease affects poodles, retrievers and doodles, among other breeds. Crisis are very often fatal, and diagnosed dogs need meds for life. Our vet suggested to contact the breeder so they take this info into account for breeding practices due to Addison´s disease being almost always hereditary. Lakewood Ranch responded with a defensive message, comparing Addison to cancer: bad luck and unpredictable.This is not true. While cancer in dogs can be hereditary, it is usually multifactorial; Addison´s is the opposite: it is usually hereditary and only occasionally multifactorial. Furthermore, the breeder did not ask us about the litter our puppy came from, which indicates they don't keep a record of Addison´s cases, as a conscientious breeder would do to act accordingly and minimize future chances of puppies inheriting the disease. This disease is difficult to diagnose until dogs have a crisis (usually when they are young adults). Our dog suffered from GI issues since day 1, and it turns out that is one of the vague symptoms Addison´s disease manifests. The scare, the suffering of the puppies, the enormous expense!!! For Lakewood to be a holistic breeder they need to become accountable (give information about this disease to buyers, keep a public record, ...) and start being proactive on this issue as there are breeding practices that minimize the chances of transmission.
