These guys are family. I have bringing my dog Nora to Wag 'n Woofs since I rescued her almost 5…read moreyears ago. They have been absolutely amazing. I really appreciate that this is a family-owned small business and not a large chain like a number of the other local doggy daycare/boarding facilities. They get to know all of the pups super well. They are really "blossomed" the past year and a half in terms of offering tons of fun theme days where you can get photos of your dog dressed up and participating in activities (bunny ear photos and Easter egg hunt for Easter!) They also post fun updates to social media and have tons of cameras so you can check in on your pup throughout the day if you choose. They have helped me out soooo many times including when I have been running late for the pick-up or reaching out for a late reservation or an add-on service. The ability to be able to have Nora get groomed, nails clipped, and her anal glands expressed all during a regular day at daycare is amazing and so convenient. When we moved just over a year ago, we literally made sure to keep in mind the distance between us and Wag 'n Woofs because bringing her elsewhere was not an option. Thanks so much for all your team does!

It's fun to see all the pups play throughout the day. The camera is also how I know my dog likes some workers more than others and when he is (or is not) having a good time. With any doggy daycare sickness tends to travel around and my dog has fallen sick from daycare before. Something to be aware of. Overall a good daycare for your pet.

We have tried training at a lot of different places and Cloud Nine is the best. Having a dog who…read moreis trained makes all the difference in enjoying your dog's company. Trust me, we didn't train our fist two dogs much at all and we paid for it. I agree with the other review that says class starts on time. There is no wasting time, you get down to work and you learn really valuable techniques. They give you the information and tools you need to shape a great relationship with your dog. Make sure you do your training between classes or there's no point in signing up. Soon we will be bringing our second puppy to train there and we are really looking forward to it.

Rather than CALLING ME to see if it was okay with moving forward, they ABORTED the babies and then CHARGED ME FOR IT. I have never been so frustrated, disappointed and sad ever.

I cannot recommend Northstar Family K9 enough!…read more Doug came to me as a foster, and from the very beginning, I knew he was going to need some extra help. He had already been returned twice before coming into rescue, and the thought of putting him up for adoption and having him experience another return honestly terrified me. Doug was an anxious puppy who lacked confidence, struggled with severe separation anxiety, and was incredibly leash reactive. And when I say reactive, I mean he would lunge up and down like a tiger and was nearly impossible to calm down. As his foster, I became very attached to him. I wanted him to find his forever home, but I was so nervous about adopting him out and having him returned again. He deserved stability, and I couldn't bear the thought of him going through another failed placement. That's when we decided Doug needed more support, and he spent 4 weeks at Northstar Family K9 for their board-and-train program. I'll be completely honest sending him away was HARD. But the team at Northstar made the entire experience so much easier. Milo, Julia, Emma, and Hank made it feel like Doug was at a second home. The daily report cards and videos were amazing. I never felt completely disconnected from him. I could see his progress, know how he was doing, and feel like I was still a part of his journey even while he was away. We also got to go in for training sessions, which I absolutely loved because they weren't just training Doug they were teaching us how to continue working with him when he came home. And the transformation has been incredible. Doug is a completely different dog. He has confidence. He's calmer. He has tools to work through situations that previously overwhelmed him. And most importantly, I now feel confident sending him to his forever home. As a foster, that is everything to me. I don't want to just find a dog a home. I want to feel confident that the home is going to be their forever home especially for a dog who has already experienced the heartbreak of being returned twice. Thanks to Northstar, Doug is now getting adopted, and for the first time, I can let him go to his forever family without that same fear in the back of my mind that he'll be returned again. Northstar didn't just train Doug. They gave him confidence, gave him tools, and gave me confidence in his future. I truly cannot recommend Northstar Family K9 enough. If you have a dog struggling with anxiety, confidence, reactivity, or behavioral challenges, I would absolutely encourage you to talk to them. Thank you to Milo, Julia, Emma, Hank, and the entire Northstar team for loving our boy, believing in him, and helping set him up for success.

We saw such positive changes in Ruby, and we feel so much more confident as dog owners because of their guidance. We're so grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend Bark Busters to anyone looking for professional, effective, and compassionate dog training!

Emma's also been a positive influence on my dogs -- they no longer bark/carry on when she arrives and are better walkers all around. I appreciate that Emma is so good with them, captures sweet photos on walks and (when necessary) goes through the hassle of getting them in/out of their winter gear. I highly recommend Resevoir Doggies!

Always amazing. I am probably one of their more worrisome dog dads because of his medical history…read moreand issues we've had with other clinics not giving great care, and also what I do for a living (I'm a vet for humans). But they don't treat me like I'm ever too much of a bother, and the care they give my buddy is incredible. They listen to the whole story, they involve you in decisions about the direction of care you'd like to take - aggressive or conservative, which again, with our medical history is important. Today I was offered one expensive treatment plan or another much more affordable one "but the plan will be the same" - so they didn't try to convince me of paying more for the same outcome, didn't try to "upsell" the visit, but at least gave me options for now and FYI for the future. I usually see Dr Lee, but we've seen other docs there and I'd see any of them! I'll say, some of the other reviews sound like "you problems," so please don't read too subjectively into all reviews.
