Joey is a miracle worker...dare I say...the dog whisperer... Very compassionate, professional and reasonably priced. Will be having him train and/or board our next 2 pups also.

I do not work for this business. I am not related to or close friends with the owners. This is a real review. With that said, I HIGHLY recommend these very kind and loving people. They are passionate about their work and genuinely care for animals. Your pet's safety and happiness is their only goal. Profit is NOT more important then their love for your pet, and the happiness of your family. It would honestly be a mistake to use any one else. Thank you so much Joey and the rest of the crew. I am so very grateful for your kindness.
I have a 2 year old working dutch who can't be boarded like a regular dog. Took her here and I can't tell you how happy I am. Joey is incredible.
