Pet Boarding Training in Maple Ridge

“Forgive the long post, but I wanted to share our amazing experience with Peter from Action K9.

We have a 2-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix who we rescued at 8 weeks old. From day one, we struggled with recall, confidence, and walking. She learned the basics (sit, down, wait, leave it) through positive reinforcement, but outside of that, things were tough.

She wouldn’t go to the bathroom in public, wouldn’t take treats outside the house, was sometimes reactive (especially toward men), and completely refused to walk around the neighborhood — she’d pull, stop, or whip her head in the opposite direction. It was stressful and honestly embarrassing at times, and we basically gave up on walking her. After spending time with another dog who taught her some bad habits, we started looking into board and train programs. That’s when I found Peter.

Peter suggested starting with a single session to assess her before deciding on board and train. By the end of that first session, I saw her do things she had never done before. Peter told us she didn’t need a board and train and that we’d probably only need one more session.

Sure enough, after our second session, our dog completely turned a corner. We had just moved to a new neighborhood and she hadn’t peed or pooped since the move — that day, after training, she walked confidently around the block and went right in our yard!

Peter has so much knowledge about both dog and human psychology, and it shows. Our dog feels like a completely new dog, and it’s taken a huge weight off our shoulders.

Thank you so much, Peter — we can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us and our pup!“

“This past weekend our very senior dog was able to pass on with the help of the incredible staff here. Robynn, Chelaine and Dr. Reardon were very caring and explained everything step by step and answered our questions. They made sure that
not only we were comfortable but more importantly Bonnie
was comfortable.
They have a separate space that feels like your in a living room instead of a sterile clinical exam room for this process and they allow you to have time before and after for you say your goodbyes.
They did not rush us or Bonnie at any time. They took time to talk to Bonnie and give her some scratches and made sure she was comfortable on a bed and blanket. They showed how much they truly care about making the process as painless as possible for everyone.
Thank you to everyone there for what you did for our family.“
