What people have asked about this business.

How much for 4 dogs ? Two would need to be kept away from other two.

Hi John, thank you for reaching out and we apologize for the delayed response. We have a few requirements that the dogs must meet prior to their boarding. Why don't you shoot us a message to see if they meet all requirements? Since you have four doggies, we can offer you a discounted rate. Hopefully we can help you for your next boarding need. Looking forward to talking to you. Thanks!

I would love to share an honest review about Yay Professional Dog Care and Training. I brought home an 8 week old Golden Retriever that I had been longing for. This puppy was the most therapeutic decision ever. She was immediately my baby, and I wanted the best care and training I could find. I searched, I tried a couple of options but Birdie didn’t seem happy, training was going poorly and frustrating. After searching the internet, I found Ali and was very impressed with his profile. I immediately recognized that Ali is a true dog whisperer—-he doesn’t take his eyes off them and addresses any behavior problems with an acute understanding of dogs. Ali is gentle, he will never mistreat or ignore them. After observing his interactions with the dogs and how magically directs their behavior, I chose Ali to provide her day care AND hired him for private lessons. Ali didn’t only train my dog (her name is Birdie), he trained me how to communicate and correct her. Birdie is now is a masterpiece - we sometimes call her Mary Poppins because she is perfect in every way. Ali is soooo refreshing—mark my words, Ali going to go far in his field, we are so fortunate to have someone as talented as he is right here.

I have been taking my dog to Ali’s day care for a few months and I have nothing but great things to say! You can tell he has a passion for animals. My dog gets so excited to see him when I drop her off! He is very fast at responding and sends pictures throughout the day! He even spends some of the day training them at day care. We noticed his training at daycare was having a positive effect on our girl, so we ended up asking him for private training sessions. Within just a few sessions we’ve noticed a huge difference in our dog. I would 100% recommend his services whether you are seeking daycare or training.

Ali at YAY Professional Dog Care has been nothing short of amazing. We bring our little boxer mix Lulu every week for doggie day care. She absolutely loves it! It gives her the opportunity to drain her energy and socialize with other dogs; all under the watchful eye of Ali. We've also had Ali help us with dog training. Due to Ali's help and guidance we can take Lulu on walks and to restaurants without a problem. Ali is always teaching us new ways to address Lulu's needs and for that we are extremely grateful. Our family highly recommends Ali and YAY Professional Dog Care.

Ali has been nothing but great to our girls. I’m a helicopter dog mom but I can truly trust Ali with caring for our girls as well as teaching us humans and the dogs proper manners. He will furrever have a client in us. Thank you for your unconditional love and care for our dogs.

I recently got a new puppy and was looking for someone to watch her for a couple of days. I came across YAY Professional Dog Care and Training and I am SO GLAD I did. I was very nervous to leave my puppy, Aerith, with anyone since it would be her first time away from me and her home. As soon as I booked with Ali, he called me to get to know Aerith and gave me so many helpful training tips to make it easier for Aerith to be away from home. And of course, Aerith had an amazing time, I don’t even think she missed me! She was so well taken care of and I was provided with many updates and photos on how she was doing. She has now stayed there multiple times and it is her go-to sitter. I was also very impressed with how knowledgeable Ali was about dog behaviors and training, I booked him for training sessions right away! During training sessions, Ali worked with both Aerith and me to help build our bond and Aerith took to his training methods so fast! She is learning so much and it is making my life a lot easier!! Ali is not only amazing with dogs, but he is also an amazing person! He is so kind and caring to me and my pup and goes above and beyond. He is always available by phone or texts about any questions or follow ups I have. Honestly, I could go on and on about how amazing YAY Professional Dog Care and Training is. I highly recommend them and fully trust them with my fur baby!
