The instructions were easy to understand. We also did Zoom. She thought me how to give the injections which was easy. Very friendly and heart warming couple. I would surely babysit for them any time. The home was warm cozy and comfortable
We had the most wonderful time looking after Daisy and Judy, they are both so precious and so loveable. Judy, bless her walks her 2-3 Kms and then sits in her pram, I have nicknamed her the queen, she just needs to do her wave and Daisy is so very good off a lead and she can walk for miles. They are both very easy to love and care for. Leanne and Scott made us feel very welcome in their beautiful home. The guest bedroom is so lovely overlooking their gorgeous gardens, we had the pleasure to spend quite a lot of time out in the gardens. The location is wonderful, a short one minute walk and you are in the high street of Brockenhurst, with beautiful walks in the New Forest just minutes away. Thank you Leanne, Scott, Flynn, Sky and of course Daisy and Judy for sharing your wonderful home with us.
A Bundle of joy, thank you Matt & Joanna!
We had a wonderful time in Earlsfield with Misty. As she is still young she is very playful and curious which made her a fun and sociable companion for the week. Laura was super helpful explaining everything clearly before they set off. Misty’s water and litter tray were even automatic so there was little to manage and it was easy to focus on spending time with her. The house was well maintained with lovely space to relax inside and outside and a convenient high street and station at the end of the road. Highly recommend this sit to spend some time in London and would love to stay again.
Another lovely stay and looking after Theo at Debbie’s lovely home. I was welcomed warmly by Debbie on arrival and encouraged to use up any perishable items in fridge which I appreciated. Theo is very friendly and has got used to me from previous visits. He is inclined to bark alot if there’s activity going on in the street but responds well when called to go inside. My personal preference is to keep him on a short lead when on walks and he obediently sits on command at roadsides before crossing. More than happy to do any future sits for Debbie and Theo.
Aviva is an excellent host. Super clean place. Real close to the water. 15 mins from all things St. Pete. Lassing Park (beach) is a nice local gem, only 6 min drive from the home. Finn, the pup, is such a good boy. Super playful. I got used to his gnawing on hands and body parts. Good fun. He is super playful and loves to wrestle with other larhe dogs, Freddie, for example. All good. Just make sure you know how to get the shock collar to work just in case. I didn't have to use it myself. He is super easy. Would love to return another day.

We are very happy with our dog walker Riley and Judy, the business owner of Snaggle Foot. They are flexible, accommodating and affordable! We always know our dog is well cared for when Riley walks him and he always sends a thorough update with photos of our pup looking very happy. We wish we found them sooner!
We had chosen to go with Snagglefoot for the weekend and it was great service! We had Anthony and by far he gave the best service. He gave us pictures and periodic texts throughout the day and night. It was very helpful and made us feel comfortable leaving our baby overnight. Thanks Anthony and Snagglefoot! We will definitely use you guys again!
Awesome service - very easy to get in touch with Judy and schedule catsitting. I’ve used Snagglefoot multiple times and it’s always been great (and reasonably priced!). Judy came over to meet me before the first time to make sure she knew exactly what my cat needed. Riley my sitter was amazing and texted me regular pictures and updates to let me know how things were going.
This place is UNBELIEVABLE. I was so excited to work with Judy and her team after reading a five star review on yelp. I needed a pet taxi to take my dog from daycare to my home so I called Judy and asked for a consultation; she came over the very next day (A Saturday) to meet my dog and discuss services for the following week. My dog is an 18 month old, 90lb labrador retriever so she explained that Anthony would be best to pick up my dog because he is "comfortable with big dogs". Three days later, on Tuesday, Anthony was supposed to pick up my dog from daycare at 5pm. I get a call at 3:30pm from the daycare (that I trust implicitly) with a worried associate on the other end. She explained to me the following scenario: A young, small man - probably around 18 and 150 pounds, arrived at the daycare to pick up my dog. The associate also noticed that he drove a two-door vehicle. He asked for my dog and was surprised when a 90 pound dog came to the door, ready to leave. Anthony immediately showed worry, couldn't control my dog, and then expressed concern about ruining the upholstery of the car - during this time, he also mentioned that he wasn't even supposed to pick up this dog, he was only supposed to go to the house and let him out but it was changed last minute AND he was not informed of the dog's size (he thought the dog was only going to be 20 pounds). The associate asked Anthony to step out and call his boss to find another person to pick up the dog - the daycare associate knew not to let my dog in the car with Anthony. After calling Judy, Anthony came back in and informed the associate that Judy had no idea my dog was so large because she had never met him. He also said that he would be leaving and she would be coming to pick up my dog. At this point in the story, I ended the conversation with the associate and immediately called Judy. She informed me that Anthony could not take my dog home because my dog ruined the upholstery in his car - Judy was just leaving to go pick up my dog. At this point, I informed her that she was not to pick up my dog from daycare on that day or any other day. Anthony was an hour and a half early. I asked for my dog to be picked up at 5pm because I wasn't going to be home until 9pm. My dog is still a puppy and I don't want him to be in his crate longer than 4 hours. 6.5 / 7 hours would have been too long for my dog. My dog was never in Anthony's car so not only did Judy try to lie to me and tell me that it was my dog's fault, she also lied to her employee about meeting my dog, and did not prepare her employee for his job. I am appalled but her unprofessional behavior and lack of tact. As I said, UNBELIEVABLE.
Fantastic, reliable, and loving pet care. We loved reading the notes left about our pup's adventures on walks. Highly recommended!
Karen and James are awesome and you can just sense their love of animals!
I highly recommend very satisfied.
Gianna is absolutely amazing! She worked around our vacation schedule, and the entire process was stress free. She updated throughout the whole vacation, and our pup had a great time. I highly recommend her for all of your pet needs.
Gianna takes such wonderful care of our dogs and cats. We are so fortunate to have found someone so trustworthy and dedicated.
The dog specialist Gianna is very knowledgeable with dogs. My dog always in exited for her to come and she always tires out my dog with the best walks!
Gianna is a real dog lover and takes care of my dog as if it was her own.
My dogs absolutely love her! She's very caring about the animals and goes the extra mile. Highly recommend
My dog Pegasus went in for a hair cut. He was happy. Prices were great. Will go again :-)
Needed to board my dog last minute, I had a terrible family emergency. The people there could not have been more helpful and kind. They were able to accommodate our dog, wasn't during the typical busy boarding time. They took excellent care of my little guy. He came home with all his belongings that I left with him and he smelled like my pup not a kennel. He did need little special care during feeding time. He's a picky eater and not being in his normal surroundings doesn't want to eat. The staff was prepared to work with him and did excellent job. Very clean both inside and out in yard. Both the drop off/pick up office and kennel area looked clean and smelled good. Great prices too. Could ask for a better experience. Thank you and Fred will see y'all again.
This kennel is clean! They offer a trial playtime to get your dog familiar with the place. Our dog came home in great shape and was excited when we brought him back for his boarding days. Again, he was happy and healthy when we picked him up. The staff is truly caring and are happy to receive calls when we checked in. We recommend this kennel.
Ansonia Silver Hill Pet Resort has taken such very good care of our pampered English Bulldog Bubba, to the point that he didn't want to leave when we'd go to pic him up. They groomed and boarded him, administering his meds and prescription food for most of his 12.5 years of life. Pat Marin even sent out her search team when I called her to let her know that Bubba, after a two week recouperation, made a break for freedom into the wooded hillside. Pat even came to our house to show how to and then remove a tick from Bubba. They have gone above and beyond right up until Bubba passed in April 2020. We will forever be grateful for the love and care they gave to our beloved Bubba.
My dog loves coming here. Been doing so for 6 years now. Great place, very caring and patient staff, very reliable and flexible scheduling. Highly rec! 🐶😉 …
They know and love dogs. My guy came home in good form. Not stressed at all. Will definitely use them again.
I called this place to bring my dog in and the person who picked up was extremely rude. I was told they are not taking any new pets and he slammed the phone aa I waa speaking..good service needs to be provided all around.
The girls are very nice and my Dog always has a great time. I can tell by the Facebook posts and videos
Boarded our hamster. One of the most affordable places we could find and the staff were very friendly
My pup Haley loves being pampered here. She always smells amazing afterwards!
My pup stayed with Loukia at Wholistic and we both had an incredible experience. She had just started having seizures so I was concerned but Loukia was amazingly understanding and I felt comfortable my dog was in excellent hands. She went above and beyond introducing her to the other dogs as that was a concern. Two stays now and I highly recommend!
We have left our puppy Molly with Loukia a few times and continue to have the best experience. Loukia shares photos and videos of our pup interacting with other dogs or calm moments when Molly is resting. We appreciate the regular updates so much, as we can relax knowing our pup is well cared for, and has a very present, attentive person watching over her. Also, when our pup was recovering from spay surgery, Loukia went above and beyond by taking care of our pup's wound and making sure she was comfortable. I truly feel at ease when Molly is with Loukia and consider her an extension of our family support network.
My fiancé and I have used Wholistic Pet Service twice in the past month for our 18 month Labrador Retriever. Our dog can be a bit of a handful at times however, this was no trouble for Loukia. She met with us prior to caring for our dog and provided us with great insight. Loukia was responsive to our questions and was flexible with our schedules. Since using Wholistic Pet Service we have noticed improvements in our dogs ability to interact around other dogs and her temperament within our home. Loukia even provided us with some knowledge on our dogs diet and her behaviors. I highly recommend Wholistic Pet Service for pet owners in the area!
We recently moved to the US with our year old Vizsla, Griffin , who had taken some time to adjust to his new environment. When we had to find someone to look after him whilst we went for a week's holiday, we were determined to find someone who wouldn't leave him in a crate but would provide him with the same love, attention and exercise he gets at home. We found Wholistic Pet Services and went to meet Loukia and her beautiful dog, Floki. From the beginning, it was clear that Loukia "gets" dogs. She lives and breathes them and understands how individual breeds and individual characters interact with each other and why. We found this to be so important having come across so many dog sitters who bundle a load of dogs together without giving any thought to how they will react to one another. Loukia is devoted to making sure her dogs and the dogs she looks after have the best possible life. This starts with advice on the best possible diet, hints and tips on holistic preparations for your dog (versus the sometimes unsafe alternatives), twice daily exercise and socialization, and ends with comfy doggy beds, sofas, pillows and humans to cuddle up with. Griffin runs to Loukia's gate and doesn't look back. We know he's having a great time because we get videos and photos of him having a ball. We are so grateful to have found Wholistic Pet Services and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Loukia.
In January of 2022 our dog Ella went missing under the care of Wholistic Pet Services. Please do your research and read the articles about Wholistic Pet Services and its owner Loukia. Fortunately, Ella was found, and the support from the entire community of Orange (CT) and volunteers (who travelled from far and wide) was heartwarming during that very difficult time.
My fur children have frequented Wholistic K9 Resort for almost 2 years now and we couldn't be happier. We found Wholistic after previously boarding and daycare at a couple of different establishments that were satisfactory but were not quite complete. Wholistic offers much more than daycare and boarding. My dogs love going on pack hikes a couple times a week. They are able to get socialization as well as great exercise. My older lab mix is quite skittish but she is very much at ease on the hikes. I also love watching the YouTube videos posted after the hikes. We also board with Wholistic when we go out of town. Loukia makes everything about boarding a snap. The dogs get picked up and dropped off, making travel less stressful. They immediately relax in the doggies zen room, where they know they are expected to be calm. My dogs have a non-traditional diet due to allergies. Loukia has been instrumental in helping me craft a diet to help keep the itching at bay and also is great with keeping them on the diet while they board. The dogs love their healthy, allergy friendly food and are always comfortable when they board. I am beyond thrilled to have Wholistic help with my dogs while I am at work and while I’m away on travel. I know they are in caring hands and that I don’t have to worry because they are under control and getting plenty of exercise and lots of love.
I am so excited writing this review for Wholistic Pet Services because I feel so lucky to have found Loukia to take care of my Rottweiler Romeo. I am so grateful I can leave Romeo in the hands of someone who loves dogs as much as I do and gives him the best care possible. Loukia is so loving, kind and patient with the dogs. Romeo gets so excited when he sees Loukia because he knows he will be going on fun adventures and will get lots of playtime with other dogs. The best part of all is he gets the best home-made organic food and eats like a king!! He always comes back to me tired and more disciplined than when he left. Wholistic Pet Services is absolutely the BEST place to board your dog. Thank you Loukia for all that you do!!
Loukia has provided us the needed comfort and ease while boarding our two labrador retrievers. It’s considered more to be vacation for the pups then “boarding” after all! We first left our young labrador retriever, Rigley, with her when he was just 6 months old and very last minute. As any pet parent, we were nervous to leave our baby, but Loukia assured us he would have a field day at her palace, and that he did! She continuously posts daily videos on you tube of their hikes, even rest time, and will send photos upon your request! She gives informative updates and even will suggest training tips and healing remedies you may need for your fur baby. There have been a few incidents where I have reached out to her about our dogs wellness before our vet because of her holistic and truthful approach. We all adore Loukia and appreciate her love and affection for our dogs. Thank you for your tremendous services so we can enjoy “human” travels! Love, The Parker Family
After trying a few dog walkers and boarders (who were just ok), we stumbled upon Loukia and decided to give her a try. I am extremely glad we connected, because there is no comparison. Loukia is so in tune with her dogs and attentive to their needs. She takes them on long hikes as a part of her daily routine, and sends great videos of her excursions. I have absolutely no worries that our dog will be well taken care of when we go away. As a working mom with two young kids and a dog, there are many logistics to keep track of, and I can always count on Loukia to be reliable, communicative, and flexible. She's a wonderful woman who really cares about the families she works with.
Thanks to Loukia, our dog’s health has improved tremendously. We are so grateful for her help and appreciate that she came into our lives when we really needed her! Our dog has not had a flare up since we switched to Loukia’s recommended healing diet and home-cooking for her. It even seems that our dog’s arthritic hip has improved, and she certainly has renewed energy and vigor. Thank you to Loukia for raising awareness about how unhealthy commercial dog food is, even the seemingly high quality food, and for teaching us how to feed better and care for our sweet pup.
Justine is amazing with our dogs. They are both show dogs (Keeshonden) so it’s important for us to know they are being carefully looked after. Justine treats our furry babies like they are hers. Our boys always enjoy their time with Justine. She’s the best!!!
Trustworthy, reliable, flexible, and love dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages and temperaments! My dogs love the Comforts of Home sitters, they are always so excited to see them. I am constantly changing my schedule; adding and subtracting days during the week...they are superb at keeping track of your needs and your dogs' needs. They are also great communicators...if anything is wrong (dog seems sick, dog limps during a walk, etc.) they always let me know. It's so great for us dog owners who can't be at home all the time to know that we have someone we can count on to keep our dogs happy and healthy in our absence.
We have been boarding our dog with Justine with 2 years. She is very trustworthy and reliable. She takes good care of our little guy and he always comes home happy.
Justine is the best animal person I have ever met. Her care and understanding of all animals and their needs is amazing. Her attention to every detail of care is like no other care giver I have ever met. I don’t usually trust anyone with my animals but after meeting Justine I knew I would have complete peace of mind leaving her in charge. She also took care of my home, plants and made sure everything was perfect for my return. She called with updates and pictures so I never felt like I was separated from them. Justine also walks my dogs several days a week. She is punctual, loving and very responsible. I recommend her to everyone looking for the best care possible. I highly recommend Justine and Conforts of Home! You can too!!!
I highly recommend Justine and her business, Comforts of Home Petsitting, to people in search of a quality, professional and reliable pet sitting service. I have been a loyal patron for several years. I trust Justine with our 4 pets as well as our home, as I have given her a key. Justine is an honest, knowledgeable and hardworking person who understands animals. When we return from being away we can tell our pets are happy and have been well cared for. I am very blessed to know Justine and I hope you will give her the opportunity to take care of your pets too!
Good friends recommended Justine’s services and we could not have been happier! She welcomes each pet into her home with open arms and loves each of them as if they were her own. Great large fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. Our dog is happy to see us on our return but loves to go back for more fun and love. Comforts of Home is just that for your pet!
Justine is the best ! Always going above and beyond. She takes such good care of my dogs. It's such a relief knowing that you have someone that's so reliable and never to have to worry. Thank you for all you do !
Justine has been helping us with dog walking & boarding services for about 2.5 years. She has been 100% reliable with mid-day dog walks; Justine was even coming twice a day during the puppy stage. She has a beautiful home with a large fenced in yard where she boards the dogs. My dog (Abby) has stayed more nights than I can count and she always comes home happy! Abby gets plenty of exercise and time with other dogs while she’s there; I never have to worry about her. Besides that, Justine is flexible with scheduling and has always been able to meet our needs or even last minute requests. She is a true animal lover at heart and cares for the dogs like her own. Justine has even coached us through some challenging behaviors our dog exhibited. I am so grateful to have a knowledgeable, loving, and dependable resource like Justine!
Justine has been our dogwalker for the past 6 years. She goes above and beyond and always keeps us informed. Our dogs love her and she is extremely reliable and is always so flexible to our schedule. She is top notch!!!!
Justine is absolutely amazing with Sammie, our black lab! We couldn’t be happier and feel so secure when leaving Sam with Justine!!! Wouldn’t take Sam anywhere else!
I am so glad that I found Destiny! One of my dogs is very anxious and she handles her so well. She sends me pictures and updates about the dogs every day. She also is super responsive and flexible with drop off and pick up times for me which I appreciate so much. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area, and have already recommended her to my friends!
Destiny has been wonderful and our Trixie loves going to visit! She's got a great set up in the back yard and will share posts or pics of your puppers throughout his or her stay. We've used her for boarding services a few times in the past year and she's always been accommodating. Destiny is wonderful to work with and I would recommend her to anyone in the area!
I was so nervous to put my puppy in daycare, and I wasn't sure how I could trust someone else with her. But once we met Destiny, I knew she would take such good care of my baby! Destiny is so professional, reliable, trustworthy, extremely responsive and communicative, and most importantly she loves my puppy so much. Mia lights up when she sees Destiny, and it makes me so happy! I work a very demanding schedule, so I don't get to socialize my girl, and I can't really get her outside to play, so the days that Mia is at Destiny's Daycare are perfect! She has so much fun playing with all her friends, gets all her energy out, and comes home happy and exhausted! I 1,000% recommend Destiny's Dog Daycare/Boarding! Wouldn't trust anyone else. 🙂
Destiny is a great dog sitter! We have been using her for a few months and she has been so accommodating, kind, and patient with our Cooper! If you are looking for a place to send your dog to I 100% recommend using Destiny!
Destiny is so phenomenal with our two dogs! They love going to see her and they both freak out with excitement whenever we pull on her street. She’s also always available even on short notice, and very communicative on how the pups are doing, even sending us pictures regularly. We recently moved across the state but still always use destiny to watch our pups because nobody else compares. Would highly recommend her!
Over Thanksgiving I had to board my 4 year old German shepherd for the very first time. Destiny did a meet and greet with us and explained everything in detail and made me feel comfortable trusting her with my fur baby. During my dogs stay she sent me pictures and updates everyday, she made the whole process easy and comfortable. My dog is staying again in 2 weeks! Thanks Destiny!
Destiny is by far our best choice when we needed a dog daycare. She is very friendly, trustworthy, and dependable. My dog always receives the care and attention he needed. Highly recommended.Definitely we use her service again.
I am so grateful I found Destiny. Madison LOVES going there, whether for the day or overnight. Destiny provides plenty of fun and exercise. When I pick Maddie up, she sleeps the entire way home and most of the following day! As they say, “a tired dog is a happy dog” I love my dog and we spend most of our time together. It's very comforting to know she is in good hands and having fun when we are apart. I wouldn't bring her anywhere else.
We had a terrific experience today with Destiny Dog Daycare. Last minute need to be in Connecticut from Long Island and day boarding for our Mini Golden Doodle. Destiny was professional, sent us a video of Piper, friendly and knowledgeable with pets. Our dog Piper had a great day with Destiny. We highly recommend her and her Dog Daycare!!!👍👍👍👍👍
I had to fly last minute and I was so happy to quickly get my dog set up for boarding With Destiny's Dog Daycare/Boarding. He (my dog)absolutely loved it, and I loved being able to see pictures of him while I traveled. And Destiny was so kind and helpful.
Josh and his team are amazing with our two dogs Mona and Sparky. They are both rescues with difficult behaviors. Josh was the only dog-walker that was willing to take on the challenge and help us to walk our pups. After one year we can’t be more happy with the teams service.
Josh has been taking care of our 3 cats for at least 7 years and does a wonderful job. We always have peace of mind knowing he is on the job so we can enjoy our vacation highly recommend him
Highly recommend Woodbridge Pet Sitting! The staff is great! We have been using their services for well over a year and they take great care of your animals. Our dog just loves them!
I am so happy I found Woodbridge Pet Sitting when I moved to the area. My energetic Labrador greets Joshua or another staff member at the front door with wags an bounces - everyone else he barks at until he sees you! I only know this because I was here unexpectedly one day and hat he got a visit, I also got to see how much attention he gets with ball throwing and just general affection. I’m pleased to have found a company to can trust my dog to!
They will take care of all your pets as if they were their own. Always prompt and professional. Willing to adjust to your needs and your pets! Also many years of experience so you can trust them.
Woodbridge Pet Sitting has been caring for our pets (and house) for the past 10 years. They are extremely reliable and go above and beyond (including driving to our house at 4 am to meet the fire department when a faulty smoke detector set off a false alarm). We had 2 senior cats with special needs and a cockatiel, given very good care by WBPS. After those beloved pets passed, WBPS has been visiting our 2 cats since their kitten hood whenever we are away. Our house is isolated and gets a lot of snow and ice, WBPS always comes thru for us. We never have to worry when we are on vacation. Wood Bridge Pet Sitting is the best!
We hired Josh from Woodbridge Pet Sitting because our dog was old and we didn't want to bring him to the kennel. We couldn't be happier with Josh's professionalism and the great care he gave to our dog.
Great service, We have used them for years! The dogs get super excited to see them and they are reliable, trustworthy . We highly recommend their service.
I highly recommend using this company for pet sitting. They are reliable and professional. I knew my dog was well taken care of when I used their services.
Josh & team are the best. Nelson was relaxed and comfy in his own home. Thankyou....
On the suggestion of a dog trainer, we took our 1.5 year old dog to TLC for boarding for 11 days over xmas break. We got a great tour of the facility before hand and got to talk to Toni about everything. When we came to pick up Bailey he didn't want to leave! Overall was a great experience and will defiantly bring my dog back!
TLC Kennel is the absolute WORST Kennel my husband & I have EVER EVER EVER experienced. We used TLC 2X's & The owner Toni is a very mean, Aggressive, inappropriate, loud mouth woman. We went on a 12 day cruise & we have 2 dogs & 1 of our dogs needs to eat a certain kind of food & we brought a brand new bag of food for our dog to eat. We gave it to a staff member & Explained our dog HAS to only eat this food. When we picked up Toni the owner was at the counter & handed us back the food UNOPENED. We politely asked her why she didn't get her special food that she has to have Toni screamed at us & I do mean literally screamed at us with a room full of people & said "I only serve them my food BOTTOM LINE if you don't like it too bad." We were so embarrassed & angry. She also doesn't allow the dogs to have stuffed animals or treats. That was the last time we EVER used TLC Kennel. When we were planning our cruise we found Oronoque Kennel in Derby & we took them their & they offer 2 style rooms. 1 is just a regular room & then they have the deluxe room for not much more money & when you get the deluxe room they have an actual twin bed for the dogs to sleep on & the bed isn't just sitting on the floor it has the frame the box spring & mattress with pillows. Also they have their own penned in area to go outside that they can go out right from their room. They let you bring stuffies for the dogs & treats or they sell them their & when you get the deluxe room they have play time with 1 of the workers in a huge fenced in yard 3X's a day. Oronoque Kennel gets 50 stars & is absolutely AMAZING & the workers get to know your dogs & their personalities & the staff is absolutely outstanding. We can't say enough great things about Oronoque kennel but I could go on & on & on about how horrible TLC Kennel is & what and bar phone or form person Toni is. She should not work with the public or animals. AGAIN The owner Toni is a very mean, Aggressive, inappropriate, loud mouth woman. SHAME ON YOU TONI, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE A BUSINESS & I truly hope people don't go their. If you are looking for a outstanding, superb, amazing place to board your dogs then I highly highly highly suggest Oronoque Kennel in Derby.
Paul has been working with our rescue for 6 months and we couldn't be happier with the results. Our dog LOVES running through the indoor agility ramps, which have been great for his confidence and for keeping him active through the winter months! Also really liked that the kennels are roomy, clean and break out proof which means he doesn't have to be laying down in a crate for extended periods of time when we leave him there for boarding (and that I can finally have some peace of mind while on vacation)
Paul is an amazing trainer. Patient, experienced, spot on and with the knowledge to get the rough spots out of any dog. With his guidance we are turning our pupper into the gentle giant we want her to be. I would recommend Big Dog K9 to anyone who has a dog that needs to be trained.
This is my first time dealing with a dog trainer and having a dog trained. I'm only halfway through the process at phase 1 for my Dobie but I can say I'm truly pleased with the the results up to date! I can also sleep well knowing my dog is not being mistreated because when I do pick her up from her trainer (I payed for boarding with trainer) and then return her...well she is definitely pleased to go back and see him. That and the results and patience he has with not only her BUT MAINLY ME!!!...says a lot and goes a long way. I tip my hat to this man and company 👍
Excellent
