I highly recommend Bowser for your dog. Our dog went for in home, boot camp and sleep away camp. The in home training was great but we just didn’t have the time we needed to dedicate to it. We enrolled him at boot camp and he came back a brand new dog. Walks are so easy now and I enjoy them. No pulling or barking at cars. When I dropped him off for sleep away camp he was so happy to be back at Bowser’s. It made me feel good that he was going back to a place that he loves and where he is loved.

Bowser is fantastic. They are super responsive and so friendly. I was so worried about sending my dog away for 2 weeks but he had so much fun, I got daily updates and he came back so well behaved. It was worth every penny!!! Jodi was so kind and patient with us. I cannot say enough amazing things!

I took my dog in for the 2 week bootcamp and what a difference it made in my dogs behavior. My dog came back completely different would highly recommend. Nate and his crew do an excellent job. Its definitely difficult being away from your dog for two weeks but I receiving daily updates to see kali’s progress and it made me feel much more comfortable.

I was debating whether to say anything or just let it go.. I decided to forfeit my last 4 sessions with these people and just cut my losses and eat my $2500. I don't know where to even begin. I decided to go with them because Nate basically told me there was no choice that my dog was going to get worse if I don’t and he will end up hurting someone. (Which to this day I truly believe was a sale tactic and a complete lie) but i said ok lets do it. First 2 sessions he came to me, no issues. 3rd session was a joke. He asked me to come to his place so my dog can meet his dogs and see how he acts. My dog never met his dogs. I basically walked my dog around garbage while i got a lecture about my mental health. The 4th session i again had to drive out his way where we did nothing but walked on a track. I then sent my dog away for the 2 week “boot camp” with promise of videos and pictures and that my dog would be in good hands. I got maybe 2 videos and 1 pic, while ive seen others on Facebook got tons more. When i went to pick up my dog he was COMPLETELY MATTED. He had poop matted in his fur up by his ears. He stunk. He was covered in red marks all over his body. He cried for 2 days straight! I had to take him to the groomer right after i picked him up from Nate and spent $116 to get him completely shaved because he was so bad. You could tell he lost weight and by the time he got home it was like he couldn't stop eating and had not eaten in days. The company had really good reviews online but i didnt get what i paid for, not even close. He would never get a recommendation from me. Expensive lesson learned.

Just have to say this training we invested in with Bowsers for our puppy was worth every single penny! Nate, Jodi, Jayara and Jen are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and explain things in great detail! The advice and expertise we have gained from this amazing experience has given us the tools we need to help train our puppy who is now 8 months old! He has come sooo far after the 5 training sessions he had to become a calmer, more obedient pup! We can't wait to continue to use the knowledge and tools these amazing trainers have given us and will recommend them to anyone we know who is looking for a dog trainer! Thank you Bowsers for helping us so much! You guys are truly incredible ☺️
