Pet Boarding Training near Clayton

“I have used Camp Four Paws for daycare and boarding for 10+ years. Troy and her staff are wonderful. Most of my dogs have been/ are friendly and get along, play well with people and other dogs. The release/ instruction paper work is very detailed and you have many extra options to choose from. This detail alone says to me they're very thorough in their intake and also making sure that all pets are current with their vaccinations.

One thing that stands out the most to me is I have a fear based reactive McNab fixed male dog. He gets along with people but can be reactive with some dogs. Troy and her staff keep a close eye on him and know which dogs he can mingle with. I am so grateful for this extra sensitivity to his needs.

All of my dogs both past and present have loved it here. The big play area, treats, clean kennels and the time each staff plays with and gets to know your pets!
I cannot recommend this place enough.

I may consider checking myself in for daycare or boarding!

“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.“

“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.“

“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.??“

“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.“

“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!“

“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$.“

“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.“

“This review is for the puppy 1 and puppy 2 classes at Walnut Creek pet food express taught by Keri. We signed up our shepherd mix puppy for Puppy 1 class and we were very impressed by the teaching tactics and results that we got for our dog. Keri was friendly and very knowledgeable and was a great trainer for both my husband and I as well as our puppy. We signed up for the second class level soon after completing the first. Our dog just graduated puppy 2 and I wanted to write a glowing review for both Keri and the pet food express staff. I highly recommend spending the money to making your dog better for life!“

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

“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!“
