Unfortunately we didn't have a good experience here. About two years ago (September 2014), we…read moredropped our dog to be boarded over a long weekend. We had boarded our dog a few times at another kennel in the area, but they were fully booked up. The woman we met here was pleasant, but there was another employee, a young man, who gave the impression that he wasn't particular thrilled to be caring for dogs for that weekend and would rather be doing other things. So the drop off went okay, but when we picked up our dog we noticed that he smelled awful. It smelled like he had been sitting in poop and his bed was also dirty. My boyfriend and I work a 9-5 job, and our dog is able to hold his business during the day. So based on his condition when we picked him up, we assume he must not have been walked enough or given enough time away from his kennel.He's an 80lb dog who is very friendly. It took two baths to remove the smell and we placed his bed in the laundry as well. When you have to drop your dog off to be in somebody else's care temporarily, you already feel bad about it and worry that he's not being taken out enough. I wouldn't go here again.

I consider myself to be extremely lucky to have not only found this gem, but to have found it at a…read moretime when they still had openings for new dogs. The owner is quite simply, the best. She lives for the happiness, and wellness of the pack and treats our dogs like they are her own. Because they are, they are part of her pack. Twice a week, my dog leaves the house excited and comes home exhausted. All day long I get updates of pictures and videos of the fun they are having. I love the security of knowing the owner of the business is the one actually watching my dog. I can't say enough how much of an asset Happy Paws is. This isn't just your run of the mill doggy daycare. The mile log waiting list to join also attests to how exceptional this business is.

The first thing you notice when you walk in is the smell of urine! I was new to the area and…read morelooking for a place to socialize my pups. I walked in to inquire about their services and felt like I was inconveniencing them just to be there. I didn't get much further than that because between the smell of the urine and the nasty attitude of the woman that I was attempting to speak with, it turned me off tremendously. If that wasn't all, you could hear dogs barking consistently as if they were either fighting or not happy to be there at all. I've subsequently had friends try their services only to be equally dissatisfied.

James is incredible. We sent our 7 month puppy to James for four weeks last year. We were, and…read morecontinue to be, so happy that we did. She did not have any problems (and continues to be a wonderful dog and that's probably because we sent her to James). She had basic commands down. After James, she became excellent at multiple commands. She would sit at her bowl for hours if you don't release her (by verbal command). You can leave her with steak in the next room and won't eat it if you don't release her. You get the picture - James knows what he is doing and will set you, and your pup, up for success. He was very thorough in explaining what to expect and how to continue her training at home. We could not be happier. Our pup is also happy, and she loved James. When we brought her back for boarding a couple nights she couldn't wait to hang out with James. We had to save up to send her, and it was worth every penny. We would do it again. Highly, highly recommend. For any pup!

As a last ditch effort we called James @ Empire K-9 2.5 hrs away from our home. After 5 weeks of training with Ross he was transformed into the best dog we have seen anywhere. James spent a whole day with myself and my whole family to train us on how to handle and communicate with our new family member. Here we are over a year later and if we call James with a question he is quick to respond back with a helpfull answer. When we need to board Ross we drive him down to James @ Empire K9 2.5 hours away because he is the only one we trust with our Ross. Thank you James for this gift of being able to communicate with our deaf dog, you have no idea how much joy this little Miniature Bull Terrier bring to our family now.
