Pet Boarding Training in Phoenix

“I am so glad I contacted Foothills Canine Academy! I adopted a three year old rescue and she came with an odd assortment of fears. I worked with her for a few months and determined I needed help. Brenda was no longer doing in home training but recommended another trainer from her facility, Aly. I’m so glad she did!!! It’s not always easy to invite a stranger into your home but I felt immediately comfortable with Aly and even better so did my dog! Aly is a great listener with a kind and calm demeanor. She has observed our interaction and consistently come up with gentle ways to correct the behaviors we are working on. I look forward to participating in group classes at the academy. I highly recommend Foothills Canine Academy and Aly for home or group training!“

“I highly recommend Elisa with Fit Dog Training. She is very knowledgeable and comes to you to assist you in training your dog. I like this because she is able to assess your dog and meet your needs in the dogs own environment. Lucy (my dog)loved the training! Now it’s up to me to follow through with repetition..Elisa is straight forward and gives you hands on assist, video assist and her availability to answer questions. Definitely give her a call if you are considering dog training! Also reasonably priced if you look at various programs. Totally worth your investment! Lucy is the star of neighborhood dog walking crew because she is so well behaved after using the techniques we learned through this training program! ?“

“We cannot express enough gratitude for having Nadia's Dog Nanny Services in our community. From the moment we first used their services, it was clear that Nadia and Craig don't just offer a service--they provide a second home for our furry family members. Their passion for animals shines through in everything they do, making it a place full of love and care.Our three dogs always get excited at the mention of going to Nadia's. It's like they understand they're about to have the time of their lives. Our German Shorthaired Pointer, Axel, in particular, has a special love for their place. He thoroughly enjoys socializing with the other dogs, and we've noticed how these interactions have positively impacted his behavior and happiness. There's always something happening at Nadia's, ensuring that it's never a dull moment for our pups.For anyone in need of dog nanny services, we couldn't recommend Nadia's Dog Nanny Services highly enough. Their dedication, love for animals, and the sheer joy they bring to our dogs are beyond compare. Nadia and Craig have not just earned our trust--they've won our hearts and the paws of our dogs too!“

“I cannot say enough great things about Cathy. She is amazing. Her program is amazing!! We have done dog training programs before, but for our new cavapoo puppy, we wanted to do something more personal. And I couldn't be happier with the results. Her in-home visits are packed full of great learning, for me and our puppy Teddy. Cathy demonstrates the skills first and then has us practice them with her in order to build up our confidence so we are comfortable going into each week ready to complete our "homework". Her lessons are never overwhelming. It is all very short, sweet and to the point. It takes practice, but watching her work with the dogs and seeing her get such great results is so motivating. We want to do our homework. I look forward to our sessions and the puppy socials eqch week. She has really built something special and I couldn't be any more satisfied with the experience. Cathy's program is worth every penny.“

“5 stars? I'd give 50 if I could! I love this team, and they love my little Lucie! Thank you all for being such great hosts and pals for her!“

“We adopted a fear-based reactionary dog whose reaction was aggression towards other dogs and people. He also was hyper-fixated on just about everything: bikes, skateboards, birds, people with big hats, plastic bags and leaves blowing. We have some experience with dogs with behavioral issues so we were working with him several times a day and he was making some progress but he was still reacting aggressively if we couldn’t manage distance (and the reality is in a big urban area, you can’t always). We started doing Yoni’s online courses (he’s a friend of my husband), and they have helped tremendously. We had gotten him pretty good on a leash and within 2 weeks of doing the drills, he is almost perfect on a leash. We have also been able to work more specifically on his calmness in the house, so he can be calmer with an encounter. But a big tip from Yoni gave us a 180. Two implementations at the right moment have completely removed his aggressive reactions to other dogs. He has stayed calm when charged by off leash dogs, letting us handle the situation. It’s amazing!We are now working on his people interactions and has already started improving and we know Yoni and his team is there for us if we need any additional help.Can’t recommend him enough. You can tell he loves and understands dogs and working (yes its not magic, its alot of work), with him will get your dog to where you need them to be to have a fullfilling life TOGETHER“

“I went to La Gattara because I love kitties. Food, coffee, and hanging out with 20+ kitties at a time? Sign me up. For those who don't know, all kitties there are up for adoption. Or if you just want to hang out with the kitties and enjoy a latte the staff are super kind and welcoming! What I didn't expect was to find my next best friend. Who is curled up beside me as I type this. I just so happened to bond with a sweet baby girl named Mabel. I spent almost my entire hour there with her and after a week of panicking that someone else would adopt her I reached out. I found out later she had been returned by a previous home and my heart broke, I knew I could give her the home she deserved. Carrie was kind, responsive, and amazing during the adoption process. They send you all of the information needed, all cats are healthy, vaxxed and fixed already. All included. Mabel has been home for over a month, well adjusted, and happy. If you're looking to adopt a new fur baby I strongly recommend La Gattara, what better way to meet a new friend? Just going by and hanging out with the kitties supports them having a safe place to live until they find their forever homes like my Mabel. <3**I would like to mention since I’ve seen a couple reviews mentioning the lack of kitties during their visit — please keep in mind these kitties have a feeding schedule and cats in general sleep A LOT. Many prefer to be alone in a cozy dark space when they rest. Keep in mind the time you choose to go and try to understand cats in general. They are more active in the morning and evening. If you wish to meet more kitties try to plan your visit accordingly. Otherwise, there might be less kitties out or willing to play because it’s just natural kitty nap time. This is just something anyone who is looking to adopt or visit should keep in mind.This establishment does a lot for cats that need loving homes.“

“We love DogTopia and so does our rescue dog, Reggie. She loves the people and all of her dog friends. They are great with her and she is always so happy to be dropped off. We appreciate the drop off and pick up flexibility we get as members too. Reggie loves all of the treats and the birthday parties the most.“

“Wow. Impressed with Dianne from the moment she sat down to evaluate my dog and me. She is knowledgeable, professional, and really good at what she does! I felt heard and her expertise shines. I recommend her without hesitation.“

“We were visiting the Phoenix area and needed a sitter for our little Morkie while we attended a concert. We stumbled on Jimmie and Ben while searching for a reputable sitter. After reading the reviews we knew we found the best place for our baby. Jimmie and Ben were amazing! They sent me lots of sweet texts, videos, and pictures. My baby Crosby was so happy and they loved on him like he was their own. We loved them so much that we boarded him for a second night. We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about Crosby’s well being.“

“We hired Sara to help with our three older dogs who were having behavioral issues. We're about halfway through our 6-month training program and seeing great results so far! Admittedly, a lot of dog training is human training, so the learning burden is really on the dog parents, but I do believe my pups have gained quite a few skills over the past few months! Sara is patient, kind, talented, and incredibly knowledgable. After searching for top rated trainers in the area and interviewing a couple, we decided to go with Sara at Smiles Dog Training for a few reasons: she offers science-based training, utilizes non-fear tactics, and employs a hybrid online and in-person teaching method that worked well for our schedule. Most other top trainers seem to employ fear-based tactics for training, and shock collars are prominent elsewhere. Sara does not believe in these negative reinforcement strategies, and this is the main reason we chose her! Results are achievable without them, and everyone is happier with positive reinforcement! The online written and video material in the training program is high caliber. It's accessible on a computer or smart phone/tablet, and is paired with weekly zoom coaching calls to review, answer questions, work through emergent scenarios, and practice hands-on skills. The 6-month training program offers a handful of in-person lessons as well, to further broaden and strengthen everyone's skills. Zoom lessons are a great way to get started, but the real-life training is super helpful as well! 5/5 stars for Smiles Dog Training! Very professional, results-driven, high quality training program. I high recommend Sara and her dog training business for anyone looking to strengthen their bond with their dogs and build out skillsets to manage stress, distractions, and better behavior!“

“Great facility. Great training methods. They give you a well trained and obedient dog. This is soft training. We highly recommend them. BusterBrown loves them too!“

“Very detailed oriented place. They pay close attention to the pups and their personalities, I feel comfortable leaving my dog in their hands.“

“I called and talked to Lori who was amazing and helped me figure out everything I needed to for my little guy Toby thank you so much.“

“Great experience! Esla watched our 14 year old husky Aspen for over 2 weeks. Communication was easy, fast and she's very friendly. Took very good care of our dog. Highly recommend. Will use again on future trips.“

“Very Professional, the go to for your needs!!! Don't think twice about using this company.“

“Top notch veterinarian. Dr. Peter and the other vets along with the staff do excellent work. Wonderful care for our dogs Hank and Piper.“

“We've had several dogs in the past, and various trainers. Nothing ever worked very well, and our dogs were always treat-demanding, poorly behaved, barking in the house, and difficult to walk due to leash-pulling/jumping/barking at other dogs. We had the same problem with our new dog Ollie, our beautiful standard red poodle. After failing several other trainers and various classes, we were referred to Jimi Livshitz of Your Dog Guru. After Jimi trained Ollie at his training facility, he brought Ollie back to us, then Jimi came to our house daily for a number of weeks to train us to be able to not only use all the commands, but to also teach us how to protect Ollie from danger, particularly from poorly controlled dogs. The results of his training are nothing short of a miracle! We are extremely happy! Compared to our pre-Jimi-trained anxious dog who incessantly barked, jumped on guests, ran all over the house, pulled on the leash and so forth (creating lots of misery for us), our post-training Ollie is a happy, loving, self-controlled, obedient dog! Amazingly, all the anxiety and nuisance behaviors are gone! He follows all commands happily, is under control and not distracted, walks off-leash next to our left leg, and plays and lounges with us in the front yard without need for a leash. He follows multiple commands without any problems including properly entering and exiting doors to and from the outside, heel, come, go to kennel, go to cot, place, sit, down, get up on the mailbox or wall, and get in and out of the pool. Ollie is now very happy, loves to play with us, runs on the treadmill unaided for 20 minutes twice a day for additional exercise (which he loves to do and looks forward to) and he does all this readily and without hesitation or needing to repeat commands. The word NO is never required or used now. All he wants is love and praise, and no treats are ever needed. We couldn't be happier. Jimi's training has facilitated an obedient, happy, healthy, and loving partnership for Ollie and us, literally transforming our lives. We feel sorry for all the poorly trained anxious dogs and owners out there. Jimi is a very strong advocate for dogs, and he will not allow punishment, leash neck-yanking, or choke chains to be used. Jimi gets our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation!“

“Mariano helped so much with our very nervous dog. I would highly recommend them to anyone!“

“Only had one session with him and there was a hiccup with customer service and overall payment communication. I wasn’t aware of what payment method he took and it caused a chain of issues. Otherwise he seems to be a great trainer. My dog just wouldn’t benefit from his help. I could see him being useful for super destructive pets and very rowdy animals that are not listening to you. Just be sure to have cash or a check.“

“Wonderful veterinary practice. Doctors take time to give thorough exams and clear explanations.“

“The doggos had a great time, easy drop off and pick up. We will be right bark for our next trip.“

“I brought my two dogs to Gina’s place and they love it. The dogs are in their natural environment and get to run around, play all day. but when it is hot, she brings them inside to an air conditioned room cool down. Unlike other kennels where you have to pay extra to have some activity, they get hours of fun out in the backyard. Gina observes your dogs and updates you daily on their activity. You can relax knowing your pets are safe and comfortable. Dont expect a cookie cutter kennel where evrything is organized and such, dogs dont care for those. I will definitely bring my dogs back here when Im in the Phoenix area.“

“We have been with Dr. Ware for several years and he's an amazing Veterinarian and surgeon. He truly loves and cares for our dogs. I wouldn't trust anyone else with our dogs.“

“Pleasant staff. Able to accommodate our anxious and therefore aggressive puppy. Very local. Nice range of services from grooming to daycare to overnight stays.“
