I'm so glad that I found Packmates!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! From training to grooming they have been excellent. Before I took Buddy to Victor for training I was afraid to take him on walks and outings because I couldn't control him, now we go on several walks around our neighborhood every day. Before going to Packmates he would have to be sedated and medicated for a bath and nail trim, I hated to do that but had no choice, now I take him to Ana and he does great without any meds at all and that's such a blessing for Buddy and me. They followed up with training sessions after Buddy came home and still 2 months later always answer any questions that I might have. I would highly recommend them!! Like I said I'm so glad that I found them, they're the best!!

My dog Kodak loves it here! He always gets so excited to go and comes home happy and tired from all the playtime. The big backyard is perfect for the dogs to run and play, and I know he’s cared for like family.

Victor reiterated a basic training lesson for my dog Levi. They take care of my dog from grooming to training.
