Cat Sitters in Danebo, OR

We’ve left our cats here twice! They do an amazing job and always send updates with photos of the cats. One time, our kitten was fresh out of an emergency surgery and they were able to last-minute plan a space for him where he couldn’t climb and rip stitches. I was SO impressed with them!

Kitty Cat Hotel was such an amazing find for us and our cat, Sammy! They were so accommodating even when we had to make a last minute booking. They sent us pictures of our cat during her stay and were so kind in all of our communications with them. When we arrived, our furry girl was relaxed and well taken care of. Would recommend! :)

Wonderful experience here with the hotel and the owner. Picture updates, flexibility with our travel schedule and lots of compassionate care for their kitty hotel “guests”! The rooms for the animals are spacious, clean and calm (I would know, because at pick-up I sat inside one for quite awhile, waiting for our girl to settle down). The owner and her husband are amazing and fabulous and so thoughtful - you can tell everyone receives so much love and care when they’re boarded there 🐈. My “shy” fail foster even came out of her shell there and didn’t want to leave! Definitely recommend. 5 stars!!! Give them a try if you want peace of mind and confidence in your fur friend’s care while you’re out of town. Awesome place 💝 good people.

This is the only place I will leave my cats, Molly and Rolly! Trish and Colleen take extra good care of them, and give extra snuggles when the kits need them. (And occasionally serve breakfast in bed!) Hands down the best place to board your cats on the whole west coast!

The best boarding care you can get for your cat. I boarded my cat here for 2 weeks she was treated with loving care. The unit she stayed in was large very roomy. They let her out periodically to a play area. They sent me pictures of her so I see she was doing well. They are great at communicating. I could tell she was happy and had a great time. When she came home.

Trish is top notch in kitty sitting! My kitty was well taken care of and loved while he was a visitor. Trish texted me a photo and updates when I asked, too. It’s so nice to go away knowing that my kitty guy is in such great hands! I highly recommend Trish and the Kitty Cat Hotel.

Our two cats have stayed at the Kitty Cat Hotel many times, but our last stay warrants an updated review! We went on vacation for two weeks and left our cats with Trish. They were happy and cared for, and we got great updates and pictures while we were gone. We flew back to Portland in mid-Jan 2024 (right in the middle of the terrible ice storm) and got stuck in Portland for a few nights because of road conditions. Trish was so nice about our delay and let us extend our stay. When we finally got back to Eugene, the ice was insane, and it was unsafe to drive across town to get our cats, so Trish let us extend our stay again! And then! The ice thawed, and a tree fell through our roof, collapsing our ceiling. Trish was, again, amazing and understanding and allowed our cats to stay even longer while we worked through the disaster and patched up the ceiling. I seriously don't know what we would have done without her, and I cannot say enough good things about Trish and the Kitty Cat Hotel. The facility is clean, and the rooms are fun, and our cats are comfortable and always return home happy. The Kitty Cat Hotel is a phenomenal place to care for your cats, and you never have to worry -- they are well cared for and loved here! Thank you Trish, you are the best! 😊

I'm a first time pet mom to a one year old kitten. He and I are extremely bonded and I was incredibly nervous to leave him for the entire month of winter break. Trish was so wonderful and sent me regular updates, and he was cared for beautifully. This is now my go - to shelter when I have to leave town.

The place was great. Appeared clean and well set up. My cat had never been boarded before so I was really nervous about leaving him. I received a few pictures throughout the week and updates which appreciated. When I picked him up the process was easy and he transitioned back home better than expected. All in all a positive experience.

We were nervous about boarding our senior cat for the first time. The people here were kind enough to send a couple of text updates about how our cat was doing while we were out. Price was very reasonable and the enclosures were much nicer than the metal cages with towels that some of the other boarding places were using. If we ever need to board our cat again this will be my first stop.

Muddy Paws has been awesome! Claire is great to work with, and my dog is always exhausted and happy after a walk/run with her. Whether it's dog walking, housesitting or more, I would not hesitate to recommend Muddy Paws!

Another trip out of town (December, 2018) - 5 days again. I've used Laura double-digit times now over the past couple years, and it's always a 5-star experience. Once again my Lab-Rottie mix "Coral" - this time with her new 'little sister', the 4-pound Papillon "Jazzie" - became part of Laura's home. Coral loves Laura, and went into the house eagerly. And when I returned, both were happy as clams and completely at home - and in love with Laura! As I've written before, Laura doesn't have a 9-5 job so she's home to do THIS job. And she does it like an owner would want it. Coral loves it, and I appreciate it!

Beyond pleased working with Jennifer A. She took such incredible care of our three Guinea pigs. I have very high standards when it comes to cage cleanliness and when I got back from a week long vacation, their cage was in better shape than when I’m the one cleaning it. She took exceptional note of all the little details, and on top of everything - when my flight was delayed, she confirmed that she could be there for them an extra day not 10 minutes after I messaged. I will absolutely be using muddy paws, and hopefully specifically Jennifer, for all my pet sitting needs in the future. Their app is seamless as was communication, and I got detailed updates and pictures every visit. 6/5 stars!

Laura is completely professional and trustworthy. She has taken care of my pups for years before moving to Eugene (I live in Austin) and was always 100% reliable. She sends texts and great photos and stays in constant communication. You can TOTALLY trust your beloved pet(s) with Muddy Paws/Laura Kesten. My pups were always calm and peaceful upon my return so I know they were given lots of Loving Care and Attention.

Laura and team are the Best! Working with Muddy Paws was a wonderful experience and very professional. We have a cat who is like our little baby and leaving her is usually a stressful experience for us. But Laura made it so easy for us to feel comforted with her followup with us while we were away. We were texted everyday and given a complete update. We highly recommend Muddy Paws to anyone and we will be using them from now on whenever we go out of town. Thanks again!

Well I called twice to get a time to watch my pup, i was gonna be in oregon at thend of werk and over the weekend, left a message and guess they did not want my business. So will not bother with them next time I am in the city there.

Laura and the wonderful pet sitters she works with are INCREDIBLE. She loves and values my dog, and I can see the care she has for all the pets she watches... she appreciates each of their individual personalities and preferences. She makes sure the animals that interact get along well with one another (doesn't allow aggressive or sick animals). She keeps them safe, feeds them according to their schedules, exercises them thoroughly. My dog always comes back from Muddy Paws tired and happy and safe, and I myself appreciate how responsive and helpful Laura is to me as well. I cannot recommend her and her group enough, for daycare and boarding and in-home care.

Thrilled with Laura, her excellent service, and truly every aspect of our experience with Muddy Paws! She not only took exceptional care of our beloved pets -Mau, 4 yr old tuxedo cat, and Dala, 9-month-old Chihuahua- she also provided extras like texted photos and videos of our sweet animals having fun and being loved on, came to the house for a free consultation, brought our garbage cans up from the street on garbage day, and just generally made us feel 100% comfortable that our pets and home were in excellent hands. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Laura had everything covered at home.

Laura does a great job caring for our cat! I really appreciate that she sends photos of him during visits which helps us feel at ease. She's very easy to work with and reliable and has the best price to top it off.

I recently and somewhat unexpectedly adopted a puppy from a local humane society and needed someone to spend time with her while I was at work. Emma Jaramillo graciously and enthusiastically accepted the job and she was amazing! She worked with me to make sure Hazel was happy, less stressed and successfully transitioned from the humane society into my home. Emma was patient (mostly with me) and loving as she took care of Hazel. I can't say enough good things about her and Muddy Paws.

Linda is super polite and welcoming. The setup is impressive, organized, and clean. I felt really at ease leaving my kitty here. He stayed for 12 days. They have an entire room to themselves and you have the option to have an available catio for ur kitty as well. I would definitely use Linda's services again and absolutely recommend taking your fur baby here for boarding. Seriously though, you won't regret it. 🥰

Very nice. Cat did well and they have catios for the cats. Kinda is a very sweet kind lady. It’s out in the country but close to north Eugene and very peaceful for the kitties with birds to watch.

Love it that my cats can be outdoors all day if they want to. Linda takes good care of our Rockefeller and Juniper

Linda and Shawn took really good care of our cat! They were very friendly and so accommodating even though I had scheduling issues. Inn is clean and the cats have their own indoor and outdoor spaces! My worries were at ease knowing that our cat is in good hands with them. Highly recommend them!

Absolutely love Linda's. Each cat has its own cat run with different level perches outside and lots more inside. Every one has a window for bad weather days. It's the only place I take my cat when I need to board him.

Linda took wonderful care of our cats, and her love for animals shows. The facilities were spacious, with lots of safe and controlled access to the outdoors. Will gladly board our buddies here again in the future.

This place is awesome! Linda is a sweetheart and their set up is great for cats! It’s super affordable compared to other pet inns and super convenient since its close to the airport as well! Been there 4 x and will continue to !

My cats are always well take care and that gives me peace of mind

Linda is kind and really cares about the cats. Her prices are surprisingly low so tip her well.

Linda is the best and I wouldn't take my cat anywhere else

I have nothing but good things to say about Lucky Dog and the staff who work there, especially Stacey and Jill. My dog really struggles with anxiety with new places and new people, and I was so nervous about trying daycare with him. Well, he went from being able to tolerate only a couple hours to being able to stay there for several days. He LOVES it there. And the staff are always patient with him and excited to see him. Their attentiveness and advanced training mean I always feel confident leaving Oscar in their care. Lucky Dog has been a critical part of Oscar’s journey. Thanks for all that you do!

I can’t say enough good things about Luck Dog Daycare! My puppy has only gone for her half-day trial and her first full day, but it’s already clear how much she loves it. She gets so excited the moment we pull into the parking lot, which says a lot! The staff has been wonderful and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my baby with them. I really appreciate how they group dogs by similar temperaments and carefully vet each dog coming into the facility. Knowing my pup is surrounded by compatible playmates gives me peace of mind. The cameras are such a great feature! It’s so fun to check in and see what my girl is up to during the day. It’s obvious she’s having a blast and getting lots of love and attention. She comes home so tired and content, which has made such a difference in her behavior. She’s calmer, happier, and so much better behaved after a day at Luck Dog. For a dog who’s very social, Luck Dog is the perfect alternative to dog parks, which I’ve found to be messy and full of unpredictable situations. This daycare provides a clean, safe, and structured environment where my pup can thrive. I’m so grateful for this amazing resource for my girl and can’t wait to continue bringing her here!

My pup and I are thankful to the Team at Lucky Dog. Hobart is happy to go and I know he is in good hands when I drop him before work. He plays with the other dogs and they feed him the meal that I plan for him. At the end of the day he takes the Limo home and I trust the staff to put him into his crate with supper until I get home. He is so happy there that we are going to start classes and look forward to him going on the nature outings.

The staff at Lucky Dog are amazing! They are extremely caring and attentive, treating each dog as an individual, getting to know all their "personalities" and needs. There is such a wonderful atmosphere at Lucky Dog--so positive and enthusiastic. And they offer a full range of services--everything you could possibly want for your dog. I've gone to other doggy day cares, which were fine, but this is truly, off the charts exceptional! The staff were so skillful at guiding my big, 90 pound German shepherd, Felix, who went to Lucky Dog for many years. He always behaved well with them and with the other dogs. And the staff have been so gentle with my small dog Heidi, a traumatized rescue dog. They helped her feel strong and confident--now she holds her own with all the big dogs, feeling safe and sassy! Heidi LOVES going to Lucky Dog--she cries all the way in the car, in anticipation, and runs right in, thrilled to be there! Dogs don't lie! If only they could write their own reviews, it would be clear how magnificent this place is!

Have been taking our pup to Lucky Dog for almost a year now. We have had a great experience with owner, staff and all the options that we have taken advantage of…in addition to daytime care he has attended enrichment training , adventure camp, and even had a bath. One of Finn’s favorite activities is hanging out in the pool! Haha! Finn is happy to get dropped off and always come home ready to take a nap. Highly recommend!

We started using Lucky Dog after we got a golden retriever mix last year. We talked to 3 different similar doggy daycare locations and Lucky Dog was hands down the most inviting and friendly group of people. We have taken Max a few times now and we are over the top happy with them, so is Max! Update: Max was so excited to go to Luckydog today that he almost removed Kendra’s arm running for the entrance. We left him for overnights twice and it was reported that he took to it like he’s been coming all along! This is so important to us as we want to be able to go out of town and know that he is safe and happy. Most recent photo is him having fun at Luckydog!

Luckydog is awesome! The staff are caring and flexible, and many enrichment activities are offered to meet the wide range of energy levels of different breeds. Knowing that my pups are getting the best of care allows me to relax when out of town. Frankly, I think the pups like Luckydog better than home. ❤️ The pups also appreciate being able to keep up on their favorite Animal Planet shows when staying overnight. 😂

Can’t say enough good things about Luckydog. Our pup has attended day care twice a week for nearly four years and it’s the only place we feel comfortable boarding him when we can’t take him with us. The building is clean, they are very careful to make certain pups are up-to-date on vaccinations, and the staff are all wonderful. Bosco loves everything about Lucky Dog including the Enrichment program and Adventure Club. We love being able to have him groomed while he’s there. Lucky Dog is the best!

Highly recommended Lucky Dog!!! Can’t say enough great things about the staff, the facilities and things they offer. The staff makes Piper feel like the most important pup in the world every time we show up. As a pet parent its so great to be able to leave your little peanut in the care of people you know truly look out for her. Cheers to DeeDee and her entire staff!!!

I love Luckydog. When I moved to this area, I was immediately drawn to them for being an all in one provider for dogs. My dog Theo had a couple puppy classes from Stacey, who is a gem. A one hour one on one and my dog was already improving. Theo also regularly gets groomed by McKenzie. I’ve always been super happy with her cuts, and we’ve had different variations, all wonderful. She’s a grooming artist! I’ve never tried day care as I work remotely but I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to go to them. I believe they also do boarding.

We have taken 3 different dogs here over the years and are very happy with the care our dogs get. Our current dog is very high energy and anxious. The staff take great care of her and when we hand the leash over she happily goes back to the kennels with them.

They take great care of our 3 unruly dogs (pictured in review- note this is not a facility photo). Our white shepherd is extremely fearful and I feel so comfortable leaving her with them. She’s a difficult dog & they are always able to handle her! I also appreciate that the dogs are able to have time to run more freely in a secure environment.

Excellent facility and staff! Boarded my 9 year old sheltie and 9 month old Mini Aussie for a few days. It was the Aussies first experience with boarding and it went very well. Immaculately clean, smaller facility (which I really liked) in a country setting. The staff really know and care about dogs. We were able to leave each dog with their blanket and toy - and even the blankets had been washed the morning of pickup, ready to come home. I would definitely board here again.

This place is immaculately clean. The owner Nancy is an amazing person. First time when I spoke to her she made me feel like she has known me for years and made me so comfortable that I had no second thoughts taking my dog there. Once we arrived at this place the cleanliness of the place strikes you like anything (I wish I could keep my house this clean). 100% recommended. From what I recall the price for small dog/cat is 15 per night. Medium dog 20 per night, large dogs 25 per night. They also provide exercise/walks for your dog at an additional cost of 4/day.

They take great care of our big, goofy, nervous dog. He can be a handful and we feel completely comfortable when he's here. It's great that you can add walks onto their stay.

We tried Browning's while family with dog allergies stayed with us. It was very quiet and at first thought I was in the wrong place as I never heard dogs barking. The location was convenient as it was not far from the airport. It seemed a bit odd to arrive and find only a home with a carport and walkie talkie on a shelf with no obvious business desk to fill out paperwork, but the guy was nice to our dog, a retriever, and our dog seemed fine with it. We did not ask to see the dog runs or facility. I asked if he ate his meals while he was there and the fellow said he had. That would mean my dog was not too nervous with the situation. (He didn't look as though he had refused to eat). I did pay for exercise time. I saw no problems and have heard good things from other people about this kennel. I found the price to be right and would use them again if the opportunity comes up.

My dog's have stayed here more times than i can remember. The last time i neglected to bring his bed. He was well taken care of even sleeping without his bed. I will not forget his bed again. The owner's are nice and provide a safe solution when i require help. George.

I was able to sneak my dog into Browning's after the had a cancellation for Thanksgiving weekend. When I picked her up she seemed very happy. I will definitely use their services again.

Great price and care. Max came back just as good as when I dropped him off. Everyone was very pleasant.

Good price, nice place, will handle even difficult dogs. Edit: I like this place more every time I use it. Our dog is not easy to handle and they do a great job!

We’ve been taking our dog to Tall Oaks for a couple months now and have been so happy with them! He comes home happy and exhausted, the staff is always so friendly and the most important thing: our dog loves Heather and Sam and loses his mind when he sees them each week. It’s nice to know we have somewhere for our high energy pup to go without stressing about whether or not it’s a good experience for him. Thanks Tall Oaks Crew!

I’ve been sending my senior pup (14 years old) to Tall Oaks for over two years now! She absolutely loves it there, and always receives the best care! The employees are extremely dog savvy and conscious of interactions, so I never need to worry about my dog having a bad time or over-exerting herself. As soon as she realizes where we are going, she starts barking in excitement in car! I cannot recommend Tall Oaks enough!!!

I don’t recommend this location due to a negative interaction with the owner. It did not work out to send both my dogs for ongoing visits to Tall Oaks due to the expense. They are totally reasonable in price, but it wouldn’t work out for me with multiple dogs. Completely my mistake. I decided to hold back on bringing my dogs in, and the owner offered to refund my credits paid for the day. Instead, she ignored me when I asked nicely many times about when she would provide the refund (emails, phone call, texts). I offered multiple ways to provide the refund (Venmo, check, PayPal, etc.). She ultimately just ignored me, or made odd comments in response. I would have brought my dogs in for the day if I’d known she was going to just rip me off for 60$. Very rude considering she offered to give the refund, and the service was never utilized.

It has been a year since my last review, but I wanted to update, since I now send TWO dogs to Tall Oaks. Daycare days are the BEST days, if you ask my pups. It may seem, at times, that there are a lot of dogs (a concern mentioned by someone else), but Sam (incredibly compassionate, skilled dog handler) and Heather (impressively knowledgeable and caring owner) are pros and know exactly how to handle the dogs so that they remain safe and are thriving in their environment. I deeply appreciate the level of care they provide to my treasured family members.

My puppy has an amazing time every time she stays with Tall Oaks. I know that she is well cared for and is having a great time running around with other dogs. She comes home tired!

Tall Oaks Dog Resort LLC is one of the few places in Eugene Or that takes perfect care of your pup. Professional care is constant, reliability is never a problem, and response is always provided. Our labs always come back breathing hard (from the enjoyable day of planned activities), and happy, after a day or night at Tall Oaks Dog Resort. Both dogs are always in a hurry to get back to the kennels. Tall Oaks Dog Resort is a wonderful place to leave your dog for the day, or a couple nights, guaranteed. Enjoy vacation (or a day off) while always knowing your dog will have the best time!

My dog Lila has had three fantastic experiences at Tall Oaks, including day care & overnight boarding. The whole staff is fantastic. I love their doggie transport of picking Lila up from our home and driving her back. Lila is a large high energy two year old, and she gets to run free in lots of beautiful space and play, romp all day. Heather, the owner, took special time helping me navigate the electronic system to reserve time at Tall Oaks. Cathy & Bobby who live their have literally taken Lila into the soul of their hearts 💕. Kristin who has taken care of Lila the most is one of the most compassionate dog lovers I’ve ever met. She’s gone the extra mile for Lila in too many ways to count. Suffice to say she’s fantastic, & I highly recommend Tall Oaks Dog Resort, Disney World for dogs.

So grateful to be able to go on vacation guilt free, after moving to the Eugene area and discovering Tall Oaks! My girl comes home so happy and worn out every time I have her stay at Tall oaks, and loves all of her friends there so much! The staff is super kind. And it is lovely to get photos while on vacation of my puppy looking just has happy has I feel when I am away having fun. Which never leaves me to worry about my sweet heart! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone who needs a little extra help.

Not a good first impression. AVOID THIS PLACE Everything looked good online and I talking on the phone and via email to Heather, the owner. Made an appointment to come see the place. Did my due diligence of sending all required documents and vaccine records and required antigen tests so I thought this is the place! The website looks good but you need to do an in person visit. She (Owner) very responsive online. Came out today and left with the most uneasy and unwelcoming impression by the person I met today. Started off with: Are you dropping off or what" "I didn’t know you were coming". "It would have been nice if she, Heather, would have told told me”. It didn’t get any better after that. The worker seemed disgruntled and it came off as super passive aggressive. Too many dogs for one person to handle. There are a lot of dogs for a small space. Don't be fooled by the pictures. The area is too small for the amount of dogs she boards at one time. This place has a bad vibe. Bottom Line: unwelcoming, overcrowded, not enough help, flaky owner. I would not leave my dogs at this place! The kicker: I wrote a final email to the owner letting her know of my experience. Her reply was: "call me"! Yeah-if I were an owner of a business my reply to this would not be "call me" it would be me reaching out to the potential client. That's pretty much what I need to know! FLAKY and unreliable!

Frances has been attending daycare twice a week for almost 2 months and life would be much sadder without this amazing option. She loves it so much and comes home happily exhausted. So good for both pup and her human! Heather is always responsive to any questions or concerns. You can tell she wants the best for the dogs in her care. And the shuttle service is such a blessing! Thank you, Heather and staff!

Our sweet Kona is a four year old Rottweiler. She has gone to Central Bark Eugene since she was four months old. She is a love but comes with some unique quirks and has added more as she has grown older. Central Bark continues to address all of her needs with loving care and has made multiple changes to her day to always accommodate her. She loves going to “school” and she stays overnight when we are gone. We wouldn’t leave her anywhere else. I recommend them highly. Pictures of her first day and today.

They were wonderful with my pup. She was very happy when I picked her up and played hard. Where we got her home she was content to just cuddle up and chill. Will definitely be making this a regular part of her routine. Would definitely recommend.

Our Weimaraner has been attending "school" at Central Bark for nearly three years now. Of the three daycares that we've tried, Central Bark is the only one that's accepted him for who he is! Their staff are always professional and friendly, and there's no question that they genuinely love the dogs in their care. The new management team has done FANTASTIC work to improve upon the founding partners' valuable introductory efforts. Their grooming work is also top notch. I simply can't recommend Central Bark highly enough, both for day-to-day care and for add-on services like "Stay and Play," grooming, and training. Pictured: our Weim (front) with one of his best friends from CB (laying down).

We have loved Central Bark so far! Our 7 1/2 month old black lab has gone to her 1st day care and was boarded. Due to her age, we were told our little lady would have to be re-evaluated for day care. We felt really comfortable with the staff and the facility was very spacious and clean! We look forward to seeing how she does with another behavior evaluation for day care! Thank you Central Bark for entertaining and taking care of our pup! Sophie and Monika checked in with us, they communicated her progress with so much positivity, care, and even sent us cute photos! Look at these pics, they are top notch dog photographers! She was all smiles and looked so happy! The rest of the staff were so nice and helpful!

We felt so comfortable leaving our Corgi here while we attended a UO game. Staff were super friendly & the facility was large and clean. Our dog didn't seem stressed at all to stay in this new environment. We would definitely use this facility again.

Could not be kinder or more accommodating—our dog definitely has a unique personality and we haven’t had the easiest time finding the right accommodations for her, but she absolutely LOVES going to central bark and is always so excited to see the staff. They send consistent updates, have a clean and fun setup, are always mindful of safety, and are our top recommendation in Eugene.

We have been taking our sweet dog Nixon to central bark for over a year now. Every single staff member is incredible, they are always going above and beyond and make Nixon feel like the most special boy. I recently had a baby and they even offered to come out to my car to get him so I wouldn’t have to get my baby out. He always comes home happy and worn out from playing with all of his friends and loves all of the staff members. His favorite thing is going between their legs in hopes to get a treat or some pets :) I love seeing all of the pictures they post on social media and how much fun they have with all of the dogs! You can truly see how much they care! We appreciate Central Bark and all that they do!

They are now offering grooming services, and they did a great job on Indy, my Goldendoodle. Initially, I was hesitant, but after seeing the results, I'm glad I gave them a chance. The staff was friendly, and the groomer was very kind. The pricing was fair, and they also provide additional services that are excellent for maintaining your dog's hygiene.

We are a retired couple with a spoiled dog. He has been with us since he was 8 weeks old, and we had never been separated. We had a funeral we had to attend and due to the location we could not take Buddy with us. We were nervous about leaving him. Central Bark Eugene was a life saver, plus Buddy loved it there. We have since taken 3 vacations and left him there, plus he has been groomed there. Buddy is 11 years old now, and gets excited if we suggest that's where he is going. We 100% recommend Central Bark Eugene.

Our two Mini Ausiedoodles have been going weekly for maybe six months now. It is the high point of their week - they leave me running in the morning and trying to find ways not to leave when I pick them up. We have noticed that they are much better able now to deal with the bigger dogs they meet out walking.
