I had a terrible experience in the city with a dog walker who was not passionate about her job and put my dogs on the patio while she texted on her phone. I was very nervous to hire another dog walker because of this experience. Maryhelen came out and met my dogs and they fell in love with her. Maryhelen loves your dogs like they are her own and she goes the extra mile to give them all the love and attention they need. I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants a trustworthy and compassionate person in their home to care for their babies!

Megan not only has a gift with dogs but also took so much time during pickup to educate us on how to set boundaries and interact with our dog. The difference in our dog's behavior has been night and day. He has a new sense of calm because he better understands our rules and boundaries, making our relationship smoother. I highly recommend Megan to anyone who wants to help their dog be well-balanced and how to provide that life for them.

When our big Great Dane puppy started getting really BIG, we realized we needed to seek out…read moreprofessional training. He was definitely in need of some structured training, and we needed some structured guidance since he is our first dog. Yeah,yeah, I know what you're thinking....why the HECK would you pick a Great Dane as your first dog!?! Anyway, we googled "doggie boot camp" and came across this group of amazing trainers. We made a quick phone call to them, gave them some details, and were contacted quickly by the trainer directly. He explained their program usually lasts two weeks, and they would focus on some of the problems we mentioned. For instance, we explained that our not-so-little puppy was behaving as puppies do, but at his size the jumping, puppy craziness, nipping, leash pulling, and not coming when we called him was starting to be a big problem. We knew if we didn't do something soon, it was going to become an even more enormous problem to deal with! Though the training was a stretch for us on our budget, we took the plunge anyway and committed to the program. A couple of weeks later we dropped Merlin off on his new adventure. The trainer gave us a tour of the facility, and set our minds at ease. In fact, within the first ten minutes Merlin was acting remarkably well behaved with his new trainer! It's no wonder the trainer was like the "dog whisperer"...the trainer explained that he has actually trained with Ceasar Milan, and they use the same training techniques. We felt very comfortable leaving him, and were soon off on our way already missing our pup. It was tough leaving him, but we happened to be going out of town during that time and knew we were leaving him in good hands. Throughout the two weeks, we got occasional updates and pictures to show his progress. Towards the end of the two weeks, we spoke with the trainer and he wanted to keep Merlin for a third week at no charge. Though we missed Merlin, we knew we picked the right trainer because it was obvious that they wanted to make sure Merlin was fully trained to their satisfaction. To be honest, I wasn't that surprised that Merlin was being a stubborn boy! When the third week was up, we finally got to the day we could pick him up! It was bitterly cold outside, but we made sure to bundle up because the trainer said we would spend a couple hours with him working with Merlin. When we got to there, Merlin saw us the window and it was clear he was excited to see his mommy and daddy! The trainer spent a long time guiding us through the techniques, and giving us tips and recommendations. It was clear that this was mommy and daddy's time to get training! Merlin was amazing, so much more mature and calm...and such a good boy! After a couple hours we got to bring him home for some major cuddle time. I honestly believe that putting Merlin through his training has enriched his and our lives. We can take him places now that we never could have before. He goes to the dog park, has walked in parades, has been in the 5k9 walk in Chicago, and everyone loves to be around him. They truly did solve all of the problems we had with him. And the most amazing thing is that my mom, who was previously afraid of dogs, now adores Merlin and is even thinking about getting a dog of her own! The best part of completing the training is that we now have a place to board Merlin when we have to go out of town. We have taken him twice for boarding, and it is great because it is basically a "refresher" on his training while they have him. The most recent time we left him there, he was actually wagging his tail and EXCITED to get there! It was like we were leaving him for his own little vacation. In fact when we got there, he ran to greet everyone and forgot mommy and daddy were even there! I cannot praise this group enough...and I will be sure to bring all of my future dogs to them for their excellent training program. My biggest recommendation is to not wait until your dog has terrible habits...bring your dog in early so that his or her life can be lived to the fullest.

So three days before my trip I did a last minute search on the internet and Happy Hounds came up first. They were ridiculously close to my house and came out the same day to meet me and my dogs. It will love at first site for the dogs and me. I felt comfortable enough to hire them without checking references. They brought in the mail, took out the trash and made the house looked lived in while we were gone. Try them, you will love them as well as your pets.

My family actually stumbled upon Holly's Happy Hounds by accident. A week before we adopted our…read moreGerman Shepherd puppy, we ran into Jeff at the pet store with his GSD. My wife and kids, excited about our upcoming addition, approached Jeff and we all peppered him with questions for at least an hour that night. Not only was he super patient with us pesky, annoying strangers, but he was obviously knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his love for animals. Plus, his dog sat there calmly and without any protest while we had our conversation, which impressed us to no end. He ended up giving us his card and told us not to hesitate to call if we ever had any other questions. Fast forward a few weeks - our new puppy (Ripley) was driving us crazy. She wasn't eating or sleeping regularly, walks were an adventure/nightmare, barking, chewing, nipping, jumping, etc. We looked up a few in-home trainers nearby and had some consultations. All were either ridiculously expensive or just not a personality match with us or Ripley. Tears of frustration were falling, I kid you not. We remembered Jeff and gave him a call, and not knowing that he was a trainer, asked him if he knew of and/or could recommend any good ones in the area. Long story short, he was out to our house within an hour and began working with Ripley immediately. Problem behaviors were identified and explained to us and correcting methods were introduced and reinforced. Within a few sessions, the improvement in Ripley's temperment was drastic and consistent. Not to sound too corny, but we got back the intelligent, well-mannered dog we wanted in the first place. Nowadays, Holly's Happy Hounds continues to help us whenever we need walking, training, boarding, or anything else. Jeff and Holly share a passion for this business and it shows in their work and dedication to their clients. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Best random pet store encounter in history.

Knowing small businesses need to be acknowledged and recognized more, I wanted to post a review on what a great experience me and Mongo have always had there. The manager Rick, goes above and beyond for customers, as well as for their dogs. He always has the dogs' best interest at heart. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted either by him or other staff, and feel like I'm always treated like family. Even if Mongo gets to go there for a few hours to play and not for a full day, I always make sure to get there before 11:30am or after 1:30pm. They are closed during that time reason being, all of the pups that are there, no matter what- get nap/down time during that duration to rest. I love that they do that. The groomer, Corinne is also amazing, and it's so convenient. I cannot recommend Lucky Dog enough

He was grumpy, unfriendly, rude, unwelcome, irritable, admonishing me for unclear reasons & had difficulty looking me in the eye, super, super weird, racist undertones, wouldn't recommend anyone with melanin coming here yikes. If you have the misfortune of meeting this character you'll Definitely see what I mean- I didn't want my dog or family to be subject to any of those vibes moving forward. We've had absolutely terrific experiences in the past (only looking for a new daycare due to a move) and have never encountered an individual who spoke/behaved like this & emanating such a super negative/surly vibe, especially a person who reportedly works with dogs, wowza! Clearly he does this for the $$, he didn't acknowledge my dog either until we were finally able to exit the place (also- the place STINKS a lot, was more than what you'd expect). I was already not feeling the best about the place given to several negative reviews- but this crappy experience sealed the deal. Also thought it was weird when the girl who checked my dog in was the same one who checked me out & said "they" should have told you we close at 1130am (?), umm is she referring to herself in the 3rd person, odd gaslighting meant to insult my intelligence? Appropriate training of staff including the head (as we all know those folks set the example, in this case a very poor one) highly needed, the so called managed def acts as though he is doing you a huge favor (ha! he may want to review how a business including a small one like this one works, we dogowners are definitely handing over cash for services). & msg to him: you're not a rocket scientist, please get over yourself *eyeroll*. For anyone in a similar situation Don't bother wasting time w/ this place- terribly rude, unprofessional, and their hours make zero sense (and are also not what's written online- manager again seems to concoct his own rules on the fly depending on who he's looking at, total discriminatory oddball). Thank goodness there are innumerable other facilities.

I gave her a large tip, and she didn't want to accept it, but I insisted. So she gave me a bottle of the oatmeal spray she uses on the dogs. She is definitely in this for the pleasure, not 100% for the money. I highly recommend this place to anyone who has a hard time trusting their dog with just any groomer!
