Pet Boarding Training near Daly City

“We can't thank Vivian enough for always doing a great job with our dog! We only go to her, and will not switch! She's very nice. Her haircuts are consistent. We especially appreciate how she can nail the round teddy bear look--see how our dog has really round paws and face? So cute! Not only that but under his paw pads are so trim. She also does fabulous trimming his nails and handling his oddly angled dewclaw. Thank you Vivian!“

“Dog food, toys, grooming, play camp, training and hotel in one shop. My Australian Sheppy stayed overnight for 2 days and seemed to enjoy his stay. Staff knows all the dogs by name and very friendly. Spacious store and aisles to move around with the big dogs.“

“Just wanted to update to emphasize how wonderful, patient, and flexible they are! Our dog has had a couple of medical things come up, and we had to cancel some trips. Lucky Paws was super compassionate and understanding and willing to work with us to see if we could make things work. 100% recommend their business! They care about you as a client.“

“I’m the best example of how great a dog trainer and behaviorist The Pooch Coach is!!“

“Infinity stars! Shelah has been an absolute life-saver for my dog Eleanor, who underwent double TPLO surgery on both hind legs due to tearing her CCL (canine cruciate ligament) in each knee. Although her right knee healed up well with just the basic after-care from our surgeon, Ellie's left knee had much worse damage prior to surgery and was much slower to heal as a result. For reference, she was fully weight-bearing and walking normally on the right leg prior to surgery, but was 100% non-weight bearing on her left going into surgery. So although the left leg surgery was successful and she was weight bearing a few days afterwards, she was still favoring the leg and showing lots of lameness from activity, even many months after her bone healed from the TPLO. My regular vet and even Sam's clinic were less than helpful as far as providing a rehab program to follow. They also still will not see clients in person due to covid, meaning they could only talk to me on the phone and send me videos of the exercises I was supposed to be doing with my dog. So although I was following their program and advice to a T, Ellie kept having setback after setback and didn't seem to be improving. Even with very light activity, she would still hold her leg up sometimes and not want to put weight on it. I felt lost and that my pup might never be able to run or hike off-leash ever again. Enter Shelah - she comes by in person and is an absolute wizard at reading Ellie's (and my) body language. She designed a custom exercise/physical therapy program for us and also was able to train ME on how to train Elle to do the exercises properly. I actually work with dogs for a living (I'm a dog walker) and am well versed in training methods, but training a dog to execute specific physical therapy exercises is a totally different ballgame. Shelah is able to watch me work with Ellie, and give me simple pointers/instructions in order to get optimal results with each training session. We had to start from square one with really basic exercises, as the ones given to me by Sam's clinic were (to my surprise!) far too advanced. But, with consistent work we've been able to get Ellie's leg much stronger, to where she can finally hike and run off leash without lameness afterwards. It makes me tear up to have made this breakthrough and for Ellie to finally have her quality of life back, after almost two years going through surgeries and rehab. I cannot say enough positive things about Shelah. She is clearly an expert and has a wealth of knowledge, but is also just a phenomenal human being and clearly cares deeply about each dog (and human) she works with. She is always available to help with any questions that pop up, or snags that we run into along the way. I shudder to think where Ellie and I would be without Shelah. I can't recommend her highly enough!“

“Jeff was very helpful with our dog Archie. We are seasoned dog owners but Archie was proving to be more defiant than our last dogs which is why we looked into some formal training. Jeff gave us the tools to train him quickly and effectively. We had two sessions and made a ton of progress. Would recommend!“

“Reynaldo is amazing! I took my English Bulldog here and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, Reynaldo’s hospitality and service stood out. He treated my dog with such care—gentle, kind, and patient every step of the way. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in truly trusted hands. I can’t recommend Reynaldo enough!“

“When we adopted our Chihuahua mix Mingus he had a real chip on his shoulder and was practically feral adn very aggressive to strangers and all dogs. He couldnt walk properly on the leash, be he was too busy barking and lunging at all dogs, looking for a fight around every corner. Me and my husband could not agree on training tactics and we feared we would never be able to have visitors over again after he bit my mother in law.

After doing Dan's 5 week training program, Mingus is a new dog. He's calmer, and more secure in himself. He can walk on a leash, barks less at other dogs, and actually has boundaries that he can follow. Me and my husband all know the same training commands which helped our arguments about Mingus to subside.

After we had our first child, Dan was kind enough to come to our house for a free at home training session to help strategize on how to get Mingus acclimated as we feared his aggression would flare up again with our new baby. Luckily this has never happened bc Mingus is truly a completely different/better dog bc of Dan's services.“

“Best place to let your dog go for day trips to a ranch. They pick up and drop off the dogs from your home.“

“I own a young field Golden Retriever with boundless energy that needs to be channeled into productive, fun activities. I discovered Golden Gate Dog Sports online and was immediately impressed by their offerings.

We started with the Sports Sampler to see which disciplines—tricks, agility, or nose work—would most excite her, and it turns out she loved all of them!
Our trainer, Erika, made every sport feel exciting and accessible, ensuring all the dogs had a fantastic time.

We’ve since moved on to Pre-Agility with Erin, who is equally wonderful and passionate. The facility is impressively clean and organized, and the curriculum is designed so that every dog feels encouraged and successful. It’s clear the team takes their work seriously while keeping the atmosphere joyful. Five stars—we both absolutely love it here!“

“The staff was courteous and friendly. The doctor was. Answered all questions and cleared all doubts.“

“I have my bird stay here every time I leave town for vacations or a short weekend getaway. They go above and beyond to care for your feathered friends! If you are on the fence, they clean the cages very well, feed them fresh veg as well as your dry food along with any other diet needs. They will even medicate or give vitamins to birds of special needs. One time, I forgot juice for my bird, they kindly went and got him some so I didn't have to come back with juice. They will make sure to make your bird feel safe, loved, and properly cared for. Cannot recommend this place enough. Highly competent and caring staff members will go above and beyond to meet all your needs for a very affordable price at a very prime and convenient location“

“Cyd really helped transform our dog. Before working with her in private sessions, he was anxious and reactive on walks, especially around loud street noises like light rail and box trucks. We were genuinely worried that he might panic, slip off leash, and get hurt.

Through Cyd’s techniques, which involved redirection and positive reinforcement, he improved dramatically. She also taught us great ways to provide mental stimulation throughout the day, which made a huge difference in his overall behavior.

Now, walks are way more fun. Our dog is much more attentive, calmer, and far less stressed day to day. We’re so grateful for Cyd’s guidance and highly recommend her.“

“Fantastic place for your dog to stay, our little Yorkie has been staying here when we need him to for years, the staff is lovely and they take great care of him.

I'd add that one time we unfortunately needed our dog to stay there for several weeks after an emergency and they were so kind to us and to him through that whole period. Just really the nicest people.“

“Best treat selection everywhere. My dog gives this place two paws up!
Friendly, engage, helpful.“

“We love the folks at Custom K9!
They've been providing structured daycare and overnight boarding for our sometimes-grumpy, older Corgi, Jackson, for over a year and a half now. Jackson got in a bit of trouble at another doggie daycare establishment (yes, it was his fault...), so we had to find another daycare provider. After a consultation meeting, we were so happy that Custom K9 agreed to take Jackson in.
We take him in for their structured daycare once a week. We can tell that he loves it there whenever we drop him off in the morning, since he basically forgets that we're there, and when he takes his sweet time to leave during pick-up.
Beckie is awesome and all the Custom K9 staff are always so nice.
We also had very good experiences with Custom K9's overnight boarding options. Jackson has stayed there for some long weekends, and we also have him staying for an extended period over the upcoming Christmas break. Again, it's obvious that Jackson enjoys his longer stays there as well. We're very grateful that the Custom K9 folks accommodate our request to let Jackson's doggie sister, Connie, visit and stay with Jackson during the overnight boarding times. Even though we're missing our dogs, it makes it so much easier knowing that they are able to spend their evenings together.
We're looking forward to many more years with Custom K9.“

“We first learned about Primepaw through the SFSPCA, who recommended them as a great spot, when we adopted Polly through the shelter.

After two delightful private sessions in our home with Joanne where she gave us a ton of useful tips and tricks to help with Polly's development and training, we decided to buy the six pack for Puppy Kindergarten. Well worth the investment. Polly was shy around other dogs when we started and has grown so much in her confidence through the masterful training and love of the team at Primepaw. I've appreciated that since she is a such a small dog, they've intentionally made sure she is playing with dogs of her size to keep her confident and safe.

She absolutely adores going there, and we appreciate all of the suggestions for additional games at home from Dominic during pick up and drop off. She is just thrilled each time we pull up to Primepaw because she knows she's going to have the best day ever. Thank you, Primepaw team, for helping Polly grow into a confident, joyful, well behaved pup.“
