Pet Boarding Training near Los Gatos

“Incredibly accommodating and kind. My dog was scared going back into other boarding facilities but was so happy to go back here. We trust them completely with our pets and have moved all their boarding and vet care to this facility.“

“When my dog, Chase, and I started agility classes here, he was about 9 months old at the time and would barely listen to me and was constantly pulling on the leash and doing whatever he pleased. He is a lab mix and it was exhausting trying to reel him in all the time. Fortunately, Dieuwke had the expertise and patience to work with us! Now a little over a year old, Chase is finally calm and listening to me even around distractions. He made significant progress on the obstacles and we had a lot of fun bonding while working through the course, but most importantly, the improvement in Chase’s behavior has been night and day. I am so grateful that I signed him up for agility classes (we have done both beginner and intermediate) at Orion Dog Training and plan to sign Chase up for more classes in the future! He’s one happy, tired pup after every class!“

“Puppy socials are the highlight of my puppy’s week, and have been so instrumental in helping her build confidence with dogs and people. Kimberly is so knowledgeable and great with the dogs, and at the end of the day I get a very sleepy puppy :) Highly recommend!“

“RFRD Academy is a great place to take our puppers, i have my boy Max whos 3yrs old and everytime he goes with RFRD academy, he comes back bathed, cleaned and happy. I like the fact that they send updates of him and walk him around town, which is great because he gets his excercise. Also, i love the fact that they have the entire Kennel space Cool and Air Conditioned making it super comfortable for our Boy Max! 5 stars out of 5 for RFRD Family! thank you!!!“

“This place is a gem!! I feel so lucky to have found a pet villa. Our dog has anxiety and they handled Cali with such love, care, and dog competence. I am really grateful to have found this place. It is head and shoulders above the other dog hotels I've toured - they care about the dogs in a way that is so noticeable. and makes me feel calm and happy when our girl Cali, is there.“

“We feel completely comfortable leaving our dog with Jody. Her house is perfectly set up to host dogs, and she clearly is passionate about working with them. Highly recommend!“

“Working with Mike Hatjes with Bay Area Dog Training has been very rewarding. He customizes the training to your dog, providing constructive guidance and modeling correct practices. The dogs love him, and it is so satisfying to witness their growth and confidence. It is reassuring to develop disciplined, socialized, trained and HAPPY dogs! Working with Mike is well worth it!“

“Michelle and Bill are AMAZING! They took great care of the dogs; truly catering to their every need. Michelle even texted pictures during their stay, so I never had to worry! The dogs adore them and will be back to visit them in the future.“

“Jimi has been a godsend for my pack of pups… she’s helped me with my pocket pup 5lb yorkie mix as well as my 130 lb cane corso and my 70 lb am staff mix…. She’s not only extremely informative but she also inspired me and brought out the pack leader in me . I would trust her with my furbabies implicitly and I highly recommend anyone looking for a real dog behaviorist to give Jimi a call you won’t regret it!“

“Snoopy had his first grooming appointment today, and we are extremely pleased with how it went. Crystal did an excellent job, and the other employees were all so friendly.“

“Kathy has been our trusted and beloved kitty sitter for over 8 years and she's the absolute best! Our 4 cats looks forward to her visits and she always sends updates and beautiful photos of them while we're away. She is such a kind and gentle soul with a deep love and respect for all animals. Knowing she is there to visit and take care of our kitties twice per day while we're away is priceless. We couldn't recommend her more and feel so blessed to have her.“

“I took my rescue dog in for her first wellness appointment, which went very well. The office staff is very kind and service is quick. I love how they schedule non-urgent or non -surgery appointments in the morning for the same day.“

“They treat my dogs with patience and kindness and never recommend any unnecessary interventions. Most importantly, My dogs are still happy and healthy in their old age.“

“The grooming here is wonderful! Kristy is always so sweet and helpful and my golden retriever Taz looks brand new after every visit! You can tell they have a heart for animals - we appreciate you!“

“We have been going here since 1960. Many dogs well taken care of. Every Vet we have seen has been great!! Caring and friendly staff and appointments easy to make with just a call.“

“Took the pups here at 16 weeks the schedule and location is convenient and worked well with our daily life. The training tips and techniques were helpful and Erica was patient and kind. We have used this service prior with our Rottweiler and he was the star of the show. Yorkies are a little more stubborn but oh so cute. Definitely recommend every dog needs school.“

“I found a stray cat and bought her to De Anza vet scanning microchip.
The staffs are super friendly and borrowed me a carrier.“

“Have always had a good experience here. It does smell bad in the lobby more often than not and once my dog smelled AWFUL upon picking her up from boarding but....nothing that a bath couldn't fix. Recommend.“

“The customer service was great with Bill and Isaac they both went above and beyond to help with all our questions and helped with information needed to cared for a pet my daughter adopted from someone ,all except for one person a manager with piercing in his ear lobs was very rude unprofessional and really needs help with his customer service his behavior wasn't something for someone of his position and if his behavior was this way to customer kind of makes you think how does he treat his employees something someone should look into other then that experience with him everything else was great with other employees“

“Amazing and totally involved! We found Lori through Yelp, and were convinced by watching videos on her website. We had adopted a shelter puppy who we were told would be 60 pounds, but seemed to be growing at a much faster rate than we expected. He is a sweetheart, but can be very domineering when he sees something he wants. And he was rapidly becoming too strong to easily control. Lori instantly took over on our first visit, and we saw our pup truly respond for the first time to somebody controlling him, rather than the way he wanted it. Lori instantly recognized something was off, and led us to correctly diagnose his breed (Anatolian shepherd) within minutes of meeting him. We were shocked to find out he might grow to 150 pounds, but instantly glad that we were getting him the training he (and we) needed. They boarded and trained him for a month. The dog is now a totally different dog. They almost completely changed his behavior and responsiveness. At the same time, they have spent a number of training sessions with us, to enable us to be responsible dog owners. Lori and her assistant Chelsy have been completely involved, making sure we know what we are doing, how to recognize behavioral issues and address them, and how to keep the big guy happy. They have answered questions about equipment, food, travel, and safety. Every time we go to train, Lori and her team has a number of dogs they are working with. All of these dogs behave almost perfectly, even with all of the other dogs surrounding them. We cannot recognize or recommend Lori enough. She is a true pro, and we have a magnificent and happy dog thanks to her and Chelsy. Her service should be considered by everybody who wants to share a happy life with a well-behaved dog.“
