I adopted my Schnoodle from a rescue agency, and he came packaged with some *bad* habits. I've had…read moredogs all my life and knew what to expect, but this little guy is complex. Luckily, we worked through 4 sessions with Steven Myers and I'm fairly convinced he could train Cerberus given enough patience and owner effort. He listened to my specific concerns (biting, barking, using the house as a port-a-potty) and addressed each one through training - training of both myself and the new dog. With his training and following "homework" training at home, my little guy has gone from violating most of the Geneva Convention to being a happy gentleman. I cannot recommend the Canine Mind enough, and if the other trainers are even in the same ballpark as Steven, then all of them will do absolute wonders for any dog!

Alex was so great at addressing everyone in the class and their specific concerns. I felt like even though it was a group setting, the trainings were still specific for each dog. The difference I saw with my dog after just 6 weeks was amazing. I was able to learn how to more effectively communicate with my dog. You can really tell they care so much about dogs and what they are doing. I look forward to continuing with some group classes.

The caretakers write little notes about your dog, make little gifts with your dog's picture... it's incredibly nurturing. We highly recommend using Camp Bow Wow.

But if we are ever in Salt Lake City again we'll definitely stop by to say hello and let him be loved by everyone at the Camp.

*ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!*…read more Read the WHOLE review! Their cameras and "transparency" are a JOKE!!!!! NEGATIVE STARS We started at Camp Bow Wow in January of 2026. The first incident, which was fairly minor, our 4.5 month old pup was kenneled for an hour during play time, and they lied to me saying it was a "10 minute break" and only brought her back out after I called to ask where she was. The second incident in January, Kimber was 5.5 months old and was there for 11 hours. She was kenneled for 9 of those hours with no explanation from staff. She also contracted giardia and coccidia from this location- costing us in numerous vet visits for testing and medication. NOW the big incident! April 2026, at 7.5 months old we decided to give them another chance in a bit of an emergent situation when we needed care for Kimber. Kimber is 35lbs. They placed her in the play yard with 25-30 BIG dogs that were twice her size, with ONE human barely supervising. Her chart, that I updated the night before stated she was 35lbs. They lied to me and claimed it said 45lbs (I checked WHILE they were telling me this over the phone.) I demanded they move her back to the medium dogs and eventually they complied. Since then, Kimber's meetings with other dogs that are bigger than her have been concerning, with some red flag body language signs. All afternoon , the assigned staff was distracted and not paying attention to another dog humping her and another dog- also snapping at them and many other dogs. Upon pick up at 4pm that day, she has a HUGE gash in the side of her face. They have no explanation for this. We rushed her to the emergency vet, paid $916. This gash pierced her face all the way through. There is ABSOLUTELY no way a 7.5 month old PUPPY got bit that badly and didn't yelp. There was dried blood on her face, and likely blood on the floors. The vet said it didn't happen within the last 4 or 5 hours, so it happened sometime prior to noon, as the wound was already attempting to heal and curling in. My puppy was sedated for irrigation of the wound along with stitches. She needed antibiotics along with a cone and permanent damage/scarring. They refused to give me the names of the employees that were with my dog that day. Their managers play the pitty game and excuse their customer service flaws on their personal life problems- unprofessional. I received a call while on vacation a week after the above incident from one of the managers. They "completed their investigation" and finished reviewing footage. She said our dog was happy and playing all day and the injury is from a play, and therefore they claim they are not responsible for it. Despite us telling her that we understand play bites happen and our issue lies with the fact that our dog was in their care all day with an OPEN BLEEDING HOLE IN HER FACE. Our issue lies with the fact that they FAILED to "notice" a hole in her face all day because "she didn't want to be petted" and failed to alert us so she could get vet care. All the manager had to say was "well it doesn't matter what we say to you. You're unhappy every single time you bring her in anyway." I then brought up all incidents from January to now and asked her if I was in the wrong for being "unhappy." Her response was "well dog daycare isn't for everyone. If you don't like how we run our business, then don't bring your dog here." She was less than pleased about my reviews across different platforms as well. *I should add, I understand things happen. Dogs communicate in their own way. You can't prevent these things sometimes. Im not blaming them for the injury itself. My issue lies with the fact that they ignored this wound on her face. They claim they "didn't notice." And let it go all day with no call to us. This would be a very different situation had this been reported to us immediately. * AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY HAVE NOW BLOCKED ME BECAUSE I AM EXPOSING THEM FOR BEING NEGLEGENT AND IRRESPONSIBLE! ABSOLUTE ADMISSION OF GUILT!

I'll start by saying we noticed a change in our dog's behavior within THE FIRST HOUR of training…read morewith Kevin. We haven't had much success with other trainers or programs in the past and we wanted to focus on correcting behaviors like barking, jumping and recall with our 5 year old Amstaff mixes. We now have a 10 month old baby and solidifying training for both our dogs has become even more important. It has been 2 days since our first training with Kevin and we went from having dogs who bark at the garage and jump all over you when you walk through the door, to two perfectly behaved angels who sit patiently in the kitchen, let us enter our home without jumping, and wait patiently for us to call them over for pets and kisses. This training program is 100% worth it and Bark Busters will always have our business!

Lots structures for dogs to play on. The dogs get a lot of interaction and exercise. While it took his paws some time to tough up to the hard surfaces, I appreciate that that means he's always fairly clean vs playing in dirt and gravel. They've been proactive about communicating any issues they notice on him, like his paw sensitivity which has since resolved itself. All of the employees seem to really enjoy being there and their jobs. I appreciate that they are open for pickup until 7pm! They also offer affordable upgrades for bath or pool time. I imagine this place wouldn't work out for people visiting SLC because you'd have to arrange a fecal test, vaccine paperwork, and a trial day before they'll schedule you. It's worth noting that they also don't allow unfixed/neutered dogs and since we waited 1.5 years, we weren't able to visit until more recently. The one thing I wish they had is crates to enforce some "calm down" time for our overly excitable pup.

Recommendations for Dave with Innovative K9 as a trainer kept coming across our search and we decided to invest in the Puppy to Adult Dream Dog Course.

We are so happy with the results, we drive an hour each way to board our dog with Innovative K9 when we have trips out of town. Now they offer pick up and drop off which makes it even more convenient! We unfortunately haven't had an opportunity to participate in the group lessons on Saturdays at the park. Adopt or rescue a dog and invest in Innovative K9's board and train program- you will learn modern behavioral training and have a dog that makes you proud. We cannot recommend Innovative K9 enough!

As a Draper resident, I can't say enough great things about Wendi Okabayashi and "A Heart 4 Paws."…read more Our rescued Black Lab/Great Dane mix had already been surrendered twice. He was jumpy, mouthy, pulled constantly on walks, and was honestly a handful. When we reached out, Wendi responded immediately and suggested meeting in a public place so she could observe him in a real-world environment. Within minutes, she had him figured out. She wasn't just reading the dog, she was reading us and showing how our communication was affecting his behavior. The transformation has been remarkable. He's now obedient, well-mannered, walks politely on a leash, and has become a cherished member of our family. What also sets Wendi apart is her kindness and thoughtfulness. When you work with her, you're not just hiring a trainer. You're building a lasting relationship. She truly cares about every dog she works with and has become an extension of our family. Even after completing her Board and Train program, she's always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and celebrate our progress. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and professional dog trainer in Draper or anywhere in the Salt Lake Valley, Wendi is the person to call!
