We just picked up our 1 year old lab Mac from 3 week board and train and he learned so much! They took great care of him and were great with sending training videos and updates while he was gone.

We sent our dog to the 4-week day train program and the team at K9Aholics was awesome! They were constantly communicating with us if there were any issues, updating us on his progress, and making sure we knew what was going on every step of the way. When we couldn't make one of the lessons, they traveled to us to make sure we got it in and went well over the standard 30 minute timeframe. These guys rule and we continue to board our dog here every time we go out of town!
My dog sustained a neck injury due to improper use of a prong collar after boarding her at this facility. It became embedded into her neck and the owner and staff have taken 0 responsibility or accountability. Do not send your dogs here.
