“The trainers are very helpful and understanding. I appreciate their time and patience with our puppy. He improved immensely with their help.“

“I have a 10 month old puppy and am so happy I found A Bark Idea. My puppy loves it!! The staff treats her like their own dog and truly cares about her. I left her for a long weekend away and she had so much fun with all her new friends. I will definitely use A Bark Idea again and am so thankful to have found such a great boarding facility!“

“Tiff is great with dogs. She is very knowledgable and calm. She doggysat our crazy 1 year old, Nacho, for a few hours and did a great job corralling his energy. I think he may be a bit much for an apartment setting with other dogs. Thanks Tiff for doggysitting Nacho!“

“We have been apart of the VCA Kennel Club family for almost 10 years! The team does a great job taking care of our boys.I highly recommend the aqua therapy for water loving dog.“

“This vet is wonderful. Many friends who move away still take their pets here regardless of long commutes. I feel lucky this is in my neighborhood. Always able to find solutions to problems, listen to concerns, and if they aren’t open direct you to competent ERs. Highly recommend.“

“They did a great job, my dog is happy after three hours of serviceThey took photos and videos during the bath, haircut and spa“

“I have a large, sometimes dog aggressive, Akita. Due to this it is hard to find places for her to stay. All star pet resort has been my go-to kennel. Yes, it is bare bones but don't let that scare you. Each dog has an indoor/outdoor private run and it is a great price. My dog is sooo happy every time we arrive because she loves all the people that work there. Melinda at the front desk knows her by name and we always feel welcomed. Thank you All Star for always taking care of Kodi!“

“They love your dog as if it’s their own and there is no greater comfort! Our boy is well behaved and filled with love and joy thanks to Toya and Kevin!“

“I have known Alex for several years. He helped me with my last dog. I was just exasperated with Ben. He chewed up my furniture twice and was just a wild child! After taking Ben home to work with him he came back a changed dog. Most recently, Alex took my little Frenchie pup into his Board and Train program. He has a way of working with dogs using positive reinforcement and love. He also gives the owner the tools they need to continue the training at home. I would HIGHLY recommend Alex and the Dogfather Institute for all your training needs! Whether you have a problem dog, or just want your dog to learn some manners, Alex is your guy. I don't mean to sound like a commercial, I just really believe in what he does!!“

“I can't believe I never wrote a review about my wonderful experience with Stacie! It has been about over a year and half since our last training session. I have a now 11 year old dog named Shin-Shin who we got as a puppy and was not trained properly. He was aggressive towards every living thing that wasn't a main family member but I knew he was a sweetie inside and wanted others to experience his kinder side. I took 8 training sessions and while he may not be perfect being as his old habits have stuck a bit, he's much more manegeable. My partner, who doesn't live with me, has admitted that he's like a different dog now. Before Shin-Shin made my partner nervous and always looked ready to attack but can now cuddle with him. It takes a lot of patience and observation to understand a dog and surely a lesson learned for any future pets I may have in the future. Stacie was so easy and friendly to work with utilizing positive and fun reinforcements only! She truly cares about the wellbeing of the relationship between the dog and human. Would go back to her in an instant if needed, highly recommend!!!“

“The staff is always kind and caring and very helpful, and the printed previews of potential costs and reasons for each is exceptional.“

“So happy Maui is attending the Puppy Academy. He's already calmer in the car, (he's a nervous nelly) can't wait for his next class day!“

“Visited this location yesterday. I was confused as my vet said my dog needed to have grain in her diet. After speaking with a knowledgeable employee, I realized that wasn't true. I appreciated her knowledge and explaination of why that wasn't true. I was there to purchase Ziwe Peak dog food and she assured me it was a good choice. Highly recommend this location.“

“I just want to give a shoutout to Marissa for going ABOVE AND BEYOND today to help me get a 40lb bag of cat litter into my car. I am 39 weeks pregnant and I didn't even have to ask for assistance. She automatically asked me if she could help. It really made my day. It also made my experience at the store safer. Thank you!“

“I’ve been bringing my dog to this daycare for 14 years, and I can honestly say I trust them with my life. They’ve loved and cared for my boy like family since the day we first walked through their doors. Recently, I reached out about him staying a little longer than usual, and the owner personally called me — not to confirm the reservation, but to lovingly express her concerns about how a longer stay might affect him at his senior age.

It wasn’t about money. It wasn’t about filling a spot. It was about my dog’s well-being and what was truly best for him. After all these years, it meant the world to me to be reminded that their hearts have always been in the right place. They care deeply, and it shows in everything they do.

If you’re looking for a place where your dog will be loved, protected, and treated like one of their own, this is the place. I’ll forever be grateful for them and the peace of mind they’ve given me over the years. ❤️?“

“GREAT EXPERIENCE!! Have been taking my pup for the Obedience + Protection classes! I am very confident to say that their training is best! Super happy with the results I’ve seen with my dog Lobo, he has much more to learn and we will definitely repurchase some more classes!“

“I have nothing but good things to say about this place! Dr. Streiber has been fantastic in helping us navigate our cat’s health issues and continues to show us how much her cares for his patients well-being. It really sucks to see your pet in rough shape, but having a place like this makes it easier knowing your pet is being properly taken care of.“
