Pet Boarding Training near Alamo

“I took my dog to 5 different Vets for an ear infection and none of them could fix the problem. Went to Sexton 3 times and he couldn't fix it, actually got worse. I called because it was so bad and he told me she's going to have to wait til next week because she was uncooperative, what an anus! Went to the vet if front of Sexton 5 times for just a temporary fix. Thought I would try the Vet across from my shop, BINGO! She fixed it the first time! My daughter took her dog there with a runny eye and he was better in 2 days. I'm glad there is somebody around here that knows what they are doing. And BTW, I started out at Bishop Ranch about 5 times b4 I went elswhere. I think they temporarily fix it so you keep coming back and paying 2 to 300$.“

“John is an exceptional trainer. He worked with my Australian Shepherd, Bouncer, and the improvement was immediate and lasting. His calm, confident approach makes dogs feel secure, and he clearly understands canine behavior at a deep level. I would trust him with any dog for training or boarding.“

“Muir Oaks has been the best vet we have gone to. This is saying a lot because we have moved often and gone to at least 7 different vets in the last 6 years. They are great fantastic for veterinary care and they are amazing for boarding. My dog was extremely aggressive to most people and dogs, but here she was able to connect with the staff and feel more comfortable. They also comforted us when we unfortunately had to put her down. They gave us the kindness we needed and treated us like we really lost a family member, which we did. If I still lived in the area, I would be a lifelong client.“

“If you’re looking for a well-run, positive place to drop your dog off for daycare or boarding, Dog Over Breed is fantastic. We’ve been taking our pup there since she was just 4 months old, and now at 11 months she still loves it. The new Concord facility is clean, easy to get to, and very well maintained. The owner has been incredibly helpful with advice throughout our dog’s young age, and it’s been a wonderful place for her socialization. Our dog is always excited to go and sleeps like a rock after we bring her home. This is a trusted East Bay business with great people who clearly“

“Our family has been relying on East Bay for over five years, providing care for our several cats and fishies while on vacations. When returning from trips, we always find our animals and home extremely well cared for. Sitters are knowledgeable, attentive, and responsive.“

“We recently went on a cruise and had Woof watch our yorkie for 10 days. She is very tiny and just turned one about two weeks ago so I was very concerned about leaving her. I trusted the good reviews on Yelp and boarded her at Woof. I am so glad I trusted the reviews on here. They took such good care of her. They updated me daily with photos so that I could see that she was doing well! They gave her a bath (it's extra but worth it) before I picked her up so she smelled nice and clean. She had a great time at Woof. I would definitely use them again! Thanks Woof for taking such good care of our little girl!“

“I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the wonderful staff at Bishop Ranch Veterinary Center for their part in Juno’s care. From the initial assessments to helping coordinate his treatment, you were thorough, caring, and always precise in your approach. Your dedication to making sure Juno had the best possible care every step of the way made a world of difference. I’m deeply grateful for everything you did to support us during this journey.“

“I absolutely love this veterinary clinic! The doctor is knowledgeable and compassionate, and the staff are always friendly and caring. They truly treat your pet like family and provide excellent care every time.“

“We LOVE Dogtopia of Blackhawk. Delilah can't control her excitement when I mention the name. She races to the garage door, excited to get in the car to go spend the day with her friends (human and canine). She plays all day!
The team members are loving, attentive, respectful and very dedicated to making sure all the dogs are engaged and living their best lives.
We are so lucky to have such a special, clean and friendly place to take our dog for a well deserved play day!“

“Very nice very gentle with the animals

I had a big bill for a tooth extraction for my cat and they helped me navigate the nightmare of pet insurance and argue for future coverage despite an early miscommunication with the insurance. They said it wasnt possible and oasis made it possible.“

“Moran is excellent with our girl! She does a good job and is very contentious. While heatedly recommend her.“

“Highly recommend Dog Balancing. Our dog has some anxiety. Terry evaluated her and listened to us. Our dog did very well and received great care.“

“Donnelly is a fantastic dog trainer, and the team at Flexible Pet Solutions have been a lifesaver. We have worked with her 1-on-1, have regularly attended the drop-in puppy socialization classes, and also enrolled in one of her specialized (trick training) courses. She does a really good job building a community among the dogs (and their humans) that work with her and we plan to stay in her circle throughout our dog's various life phases.“

“It was quick and easy, I checked in and within 5 mins or so, they took my pet, they gave him his 2 vaccination he needed and was done, it was a good experience, very quick easy for me.“

“Clean, spacious, dedicated building. Nice indoor bathroom for the humans and plenty of areas outside to potty dogs. Well-marked parking spaces for attendees.

Safe, comfortable location in downtown Martinez next to the district attorney courthouse, veteran memorial building, and eateries.

Instructors make haste and start training you on day one with clear, detailed, helpful instruction.

As a dog training enthusiast, I appreciate the club's attention to facility hygiene, cordoning off areas for dogs that may be reactive to other dogs, having assistants at the ready, and having a separate exit so dogs can leave without going past and reacting to other dogs.

As a lifelong learner, I appreciate that they give really detailed nicely formatted homework sheets.

This is a very well-planned and executed dog training operation that is community-oriented. An overall great place to come learn about how to train your dog in basic manners.

Be prepared to learn a lot, move a lot, and absorb a lot of knowledge.“

“We've had an incredible experience with Jojo! She is so sweet, and has such a calming energy. She has a ton of experience with animals and is super knowledgeable. She has helped my family inculcate new habits to accommodate and help our dog to accept new surroundings, new people. We have grown so much as the guardians of a nervous dog and we couldn't have done it without Jojo's guidance! THANK YOU!“

“My dogs absolutely love going here for both day care and boarding. So happy we found this spot.“

“I've been bringing my pets to Bishop Ranch for almost 10 years. Cats, dogs of all sizes. I do notice a lot of turnover with their staff but the service I get is always superior. Today I brought my 9 month old kitten in to their urgent care clinic because she had been vomiting repeatedly for hours. We were taken back immediately and Elle was examined. The vet was Dr Crisp and she was very friendly and thorough. She gave me the information I needed without talking down to me or leaving out any details. My kitten was assessed and treated and is now home feeling better. I've taken my other cat here when he had an abscess form an entire month after I had adopted him from the shelter. I had brought him first to VEG and they found/drained the abscess but then sent my poor cat home with a gaping, oozing wound on his back and no medication. I brought him to Bishop Ranch the next day and he got the surgery he needed, a drain tube placed and the correct pain meds and antibiotics. He spent two weeks in a cone but he healed very well and is fine now. Again the vet and all staff were very kind courteous and professional. My only complaint is they are often booked out for weeks but that is what happens when you're the best, I suppose. Highly recommend.“

“Hillary did a wonderful job training my unruly rescue pup. They took the time to really understand his personality and tailored their training so that he could be successful. They met with me almost weekly to train me to be successful with him. He went to them headstrong, hyper, and nippy and and came home as a polite, sweet, loving puppy. I can’t thank Hillary enough for training this puppy and being able to keep him in our family.“

“I highly recommend Mod Cat Hotel for boarding your Cat. My fur baby Coco has never been away from home for my trips but this particular trip was too long to have her home alone--10 days. Kathleen was prompt in her responses and took the best care of my baby. Kathleen sent me pictures throughout Coco's stay and kept me up to date on her eating pattern. I would definitely be placing by baby there again on my next extended trip. Look no further. Thank you Kathleen!“

“This was my first time using a mobile groomer and I cannot believe I hadn’t used one sooner. His last groomer asked that I didn’t bring him back as he was a bad boy while he was getting his nails done. I did inform Paul the owner of the company of this when on the phone and he reassured me that it wouldn’t be a problem. Paul the owner of the company came out to groom my boy Leopold and I must say I was quite nervous as Leopold doesn’t normally warm up to people, men in particular. When I opened the door, you would have thought they had known each other for years. His tail was wagging and Paul knelt down for a bathing of kisses. Paul took the time to go over all my concerns and he took Leo off for his grooming. When they returned Leo’s tail was still wagging and he looked great. His coat has never felt so soft and he smelt great. Paul told me he was a joy to groom and he would be more than happy to come back to groom him anytime. I highly recommend On The Spot Pet Grooming and I could tell Paul really enjoys and knowledgeable about dogs. I did also like that he quoted me a price on the phone and there were no hidden add-ons once he came and took care of Leo. I know Leo has found his lifetime groomer.??“

“Awesome what more can I say! Staff are friendly and informative. Incredibly patient with pups. Lots of wagging tails and friendly faces! Best little doggie day care and grooming in Walnut Creek. Parking is free. I would recommend this business to a friend!“

“I enrolled my very small (4 lb) puppy in the Puppy 1 training class. I’d been through Sirius Puppy Training about 15 years ago and they were great. I was so happy to find their training is still top notch, positive reinforcement, and reward based. I was excited to continue my puppy training with their Puppy 2 Training class. Twice. But in all fairness, I wasn’t as invested in my training efforts outside of class so that’s why I needed to go through it again.
I was very excited to have Leanne Neufeld as my trainer throughout all classes. She must have eyes in the back of her head because she sees EVERYTHING going on and is quick to jump in and help with specific training that each puppy and guardian needed. She makes it look so easy, but she also makes sure you know how to do what she is demonstrating. The Top Dog Academy online videos are extremely helpful and they also do zoom training each week where you can ask questions. I highly recommend Sirius Training. You and your pup won’t be disappointed.“

“Janice is an incredible trainer. Her wealth of knowledge is so impressive! She is thoughtful, responsive and makes training really fun and informative. She helped my dog with leash reactivity and really meets pups where they are at. Highly recommend.“
