Pet Boarding Training near Benicia

“So pleased with our experience at Diablo Dog! We went in for a full service grooming and they did a great job! So happy I found them, it was easy to get an appointment, all staff were communicative and we got a full report of what was done which is really helpful!“

“I’ve reached out to Brad several times for advice with my dogs, and every time his guidance has been spot on. He has a way of helping me look at situations from a perspective I wouldn’t have considered on my own, which makes such a difference for my dogs. His expertise, patience, and thoughtful approach have been incredibly helpful, and I’m so grateful for his support. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate trainer!“

“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.“

“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.“

“So glad to have found this hidden gem in my community for my husky! I use their nail trim, bath and grooming services. They are always so accommodating with my schedule, they seem to be able to squeeze me in whenever I call for a last minute appt. I know they do a good job because my dog hates getting her nails trimmed but now she doesn't mind. Mo and staff handle the dogs in their care with lots of patience and love.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Loved the training that we received for our German Shepherd. Jeff, explains everything so clearly as well as his reasoning. Loved that he does an in home visit and takes us outside to practice what we’re learning. It was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks again for helping us with Zoey!“

“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.“

“We are so incredibly grateful for NexGen K9 and the impact they’ve had on our rescue dog, Teddy. Teddy is a German Shepherd/Australian Cattle Dog mix who came to us with a lot of anxiety and insecurity, along with signs of reactivity toward other dogs and people. We knew from the start that helping him adjust would take time, patience, and the right guidance — and that’s exactly what we found at NexGen K9.
We chose to do private lessons because we wanted to be hands-on in learning the tools that would best support Teddy, and Samantha was amazing from day one. She truly met us — and Teddy — where we were, with compassion, patience, and professionalism. Her approach was collaborative, thoughtful, and always focused on helping Teddy grow in a way that felt manageable and positive.
Samantha went above and beyond for Teddy. Thanks to her support, Teddy is now far more confident and much less reactive. We’re still working through his anxiety in new environments, but because of the foundation NexGen K9 helped us build, I feel so much more confident in helping him continue to thrive.
We’re beyond thankful that Teddy is part of our family — and that NexGen K9 played such a key role in making that possible.“

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

“It's a nice place, but my Yodie doesn't like any of those places ?! I believe he had bad experience as a baby and has never left his memory.“

“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!“

“The entire staff was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. They were gentle with my bearded dragon and listened to my concerns. They are great for exotics and will trust them with my dog when I bring him home.“
