Pet boarding/training near Del Mar

“So much wonderful information! Gotta love research based, force free and fear free guidance.“

“Took good care of my dog and she came back super happy. Also had great experiences with day camp“

“Blaze was happy to go be with his own kind. I do think I receive too many notices from Paw Commons. And I would like an itemized printed receipt when we leave so I know what and how much we were charged.“

“The vet was very understanding on Pepes needs and action on his itching needs and bumps on forehead and prescribed special wipes to help with the facial itch and future plans if not succesful. Very happy on points build up to help cover Pepe visit.“

“Booking training sessions with Cara was hands down the best decision we could have ever made for our adopted pup Oscar. He had a lot of anxiety issues from his time in a shelter and on the streets, and Cara took the time to help us understand his needs and correct the behaviors he was having. There’s no way we could have done this on our own - Cara taught us so much and we are incredibly grateful for her services! Oscar is thankful as well 🐶“

“It is very difficult for me to leave our dog when we travel. I have found no better place to trust with the care of our Caliesi than Down to Earth Dogs.

Emily Keaney provides a beautiful yard where our dog gets to romp with a small group of dogs. Caliesi is always excited to be there and comes home tail wagging.

All dogs are screened for vaccinations and for appropriate social behavior.

I strongly suggest you check out Down to Earth Dogs. I am so happy I did and can travel knowing our dog is getting the best of care!“

“These guys are amazing, so much so we drive 20 min to take our dog there for boarding and daycare. Our dog is anxious with people but with them he bolts to say hello to everyone and know that he's in good hands.

We've also done training while boarding and it's made a huge difference with our boy. Can't recommend snug enough.“

“Professional. It was busy because it was a Saturday. A few emergency last minute add ons. The communication was clear that they were busy and I did not feel neglected nor did our appointment time run too long. We were still in and out within about 45 minutes for a vet tech visit to get vaccinations for my dog. Shelley, Manny, & Dr. Wilcox are friendly, professional, & knowledgeable. Thank you all. Congratulations on the new clinic/hospital. It is beautiful!“

“We highly recommend Finest City Dog Training! Jessica is an outstanding trainer — kind, patient, creative, and communicative. She has helped us with all three of our dogs and is beyond exceptional. Our newest addition came to us anxious and reactive, and Jessica helped us through both training and nutrition to support our dog in becoming the best version of himself. Her tools and knowledge are top-notch, and he is a completely different dog now. We are so lucky to have her in the San Diego area!“

“Chris and Barbara were happy to administer medications to our older dog. She was well cared for and we will definitely be calling on them again.“

“Although it has been several years since we used Christine’s services, I felt we should send a follow up review. We stay in touch with Christine and occasionally share photos of our Mini -Aussie (Lucy), who is now 3 1/2 and is a mature and beautiful girl. Anyone who has owned an Aussie (or any puppy), knows that the puppy phase is a challenge to figure out what to do with this fun but challenging bundle of energy. Christine helped us understand our new pup, and helped us with games and tasks to challenge her energy and intelligence, and help shape good behavior. That foundational training and understanding of our dog, helped tremendously, as we later got her into Agility, Nose-work, and AKC Good-Citizen award. Continued training never stops in our opinion. But Christine helped set the foundation for us and Lucy.“

“We had a wonderful experience with School of Paws! Our trainer, Pilar, is kind and patient and is passionate about helping pets and owners feel confident. Our puppy has mastered simple commands like sit, stay, and come. Pilar takes the time to understand what motivates each dog (in our case, treats!) and uses that to encourage positive behavior in a way that's effective and fun. We are so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and skilled trainer!“

“Love these veterinarians and support staff! Top notch care for my dog. Always loving care of my baby.“

“the associates there are amazing!
thank you Mark and Sophia for your excellent management and service!“

“PetSmart services are hit or miss location to location, but this one was spot on. Definitely has staff that care about dogs.“

“Worked with Maryna for a five day reverse board and train with our 4 month old cattle dog. He is very fearful of strangers and she was kind and patient with him. She provided daily pictures, videos and updates. He has a long way to go but we already are seeing improvements!“
