Pet boarding/training near El Cerrito

“I highly recommend the dog training class by Jeffrey at Petco (El Cerrito). At first I was skeptical of the whole puppy training idea, but as I started joining the class, I realized I had been doing a lot of things wrong and only regretted that I didn't start sooner. Jeffrey is very experienced and knowledgeable - he addresses my endless questions and concerns with patience and encouragement. I will continue to work with him to train my two dogs through different levels - my dogs really enjoy going to the class :-)“

“They were very gentle and efficient with my cat (who isn't a fan of vaccinations. I really appreciate the staff at Vetco!“

“Love The Pack at Fruitvale! Very friendly, professional, clean, great staff and dogs love it. We were regulars while living in the Bay Area, and now still pick The Pack when we road trip in CA and need to leave the dogs somewhere safe & at a place they love. Highly recommend!“

“Les did a great job training my 2 year old terrier mix Caramelo! Tremendous progress in just a few months. Taught me a lot about dog psychology. Would highly recommend her services to anyone!“

“The staff are professional and friendly. We feel like they love our doggies like their own. You know your dogs are in good hands when you leave them there.“

“The staff is always super nice and recognize Jim. Jim is consistently happy at drop-off and appears happy and cared for when we pick him up. That is all we can really ask for!“

“Unbelievably great service. We gave them a totally out of control Golden Retriever puppy and received back a wonderfully behaved loving companion who we now love with all of our hearts. This is the most professional, experienced and supportive service …who care about their clients…both the dog and the owners. We learned that it’s not just about training the dog…it’s about educating the owners as well. Without their training we would never have had the ability to understand and enjoy our Milo to the fullest. These trainers are simply the best. If you want to have the very best experience with your dog, let them teach you how that’s done. You won’t be sorry. The experience with them has changed our lives.

“Ricky was an absolute pleasure to work with. He helped us get our adopted 1 year old golden retriever, Nana, adapted to being a well-behaved house dog with just 5 in person sessions. Ricky was always very punctual and even stayed a little longer a few days to help us. He also helped us with our second dog, Huck, so him and Nana could live cohesively. All in all, 10/10 experience. Will be using him again for any future dogs“

“We tried this hotel for the first time. We brought 2 our cats here for a week, because we needed to go out of state. We first came to see the place, and were really glad to see that the cats here have rooms, not cages. They have plenty of space for a walk, windows with a view, shelves and chairs on different levels to chill. We brought our food, some blankets and favorite scratching pole, so our cats will feel almost like home. The workers in the hotel followed our feeding schedule for our kitties. Julie, the owner, was so nice sending me daily updates and even cats' pictures, so I did feel connected even being far away from my babies. We are definitely going to use this hotel again in the future. The prices are different depending on the size of the room, but reasonable, I have to say. Thank you, Julie and your workers for taking care of my cats! I highly recommend this place to other cat owners. Just keep in mind to place reservation ahead of time, because this hotel is pretty popular and busy.“

“Great daycare facility for dogs. My dog Ollie loves going to The Barkmont. The staff are great. They are friendly and truly love dogs. I am only comfortable leaving him with The Barkmont family when I need to have daycare for Ollie. Cannot recommend this facility enough. 10 stars - if that was an option.“

“We did the one on one private training package with Anthony for our 16 weeks old doberman. He utilized straight forward technic and very patient with us. Not only our dog has improved her obedience skills significantly, we as dog owners, also have gained so much knowledge from the training sections, which will benefit us for the lifetime! Thank you Anthony at PowerHouseK9. Highly recommended!“

“Dr. Wright was great and everyone else we interacted with was very nice. This was our first visit with our newly adopted dog who is very fearful after coming from a hoarding situation. Dr. Wright answered all of our questions. Everyone handled him patiently and with good care. I found the pricing/estimate process to be comparable to an independent practice where I currently take my cat. They presented top tier care options and gave me time to ask questions and prioritize.“

“Shae is truly a miracle worker and the most knowledgeable dog trainer!I recently adopted a dog through a rescue. I wanted to set myself up for success, and I sought Shae’s services right away. Within the first few minutes of meeting our dog, Shae immediately had a good assessment of our dog’s personality and had her complete attention. Shae gave us so many helpful tips to improve the relationship and training of our dog. It’s only been 3 months with our new dog, and every week we’ve seen such a huge improvement in her behavior, and it’s all thanks to Shae.It’s so clear that Shae loves dogs and is passionate about training them. Don’t wait one second and book a session with Shae. Your life and relationship with your dog will change for the better!“

“Love taking Rally classes here. Great for my pup to use her mind, and really nice way to boost our human-dog relationship“

“Love this place and the staff. Great Vet who doesn’t try to sell you more than you need and the prices are better than many other places.“

“Our pup got his haircut with Cindy. She is amazing. He usually gets a little anxious but he lets her do his paws and hair cut without any trouble. She sent me a message with updates. I would totally recommend her and we'll be back. Thank you so much!“

“Training with Mike has completely changed our lives with our GSD. We used to dread walks because of our GSD's frustrated greeter issues and excessive leash pulling, but the 1-on-1 training sessions turned everything around. We learned how to incorporate tools like the e-collar and prong collar correctly and humanely as part of a balanced training program.

I really appreciated the direct, no-nonsense communication style. He gives you the facts and the fixes without sugarcoating, which is exactly what we needed. We now have a dog that we can trust off-leash even in distracting environments. The best testament to the training was seeing our GSD maintain his recall and stay by our side, even when the other dogs he was hanging out with ignored their owners and ran off to cause chaos. If you want real-world results and a trainer who tells it like it is, I highly recommend Mike.“

“Courtney is amazingly knowledgeable and thoughtful in her teaching. She is also SO patient (we have a pug puppy and he requires a lot of patience imo). The directions she gave were so useful for everyday life with our little guy. She asked questions I would never have thought of that helped our guy to have a happy puppy life with a good foundation for being a good boy in adulthood. Highly recommend and am so thankful we got to work with Courtney.“

“Great selection of pet supplies and the staff is super friendly. My dog loves the treats we found here, and they always have fun toys in stock. Definitely my go-to for pet stuff!“
