Pet boarding/training in Oakland

“Attentive and caring service. Staff is very sweet and accommodating. The Pack is a wonderful cornerstone in the East 9th Corridor community.“

“Les is very kind and patient and taught us a lot of good and important things during a crucial time in our adolescent dog’s development.“

“John is an exceptional trainer. He worked with my Australian Shepherd, Bouncer, and the improvement was immediate and lasting. His calm, confident approach makes dogs feel secure, and he clearly understands canine behavior at a deep level. I would trust him with any dog for training or boarding.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Highly recommend Dog Balancing. Our dog has some anxiety. Terry evaluated her and listened to us. Our dog did very well and received great care.“

“We highly recommend Critter Pet Care & Pam. Our cat, Jade, loves staying there since she gets to roam around and hang out on the various soft beds at different heights in the area. Pam treats Jade like one of her own. She sends us pictures and videos while we are away. And generally Pam goes out of her way to show her love and attention to our cat (and others, of course). Critter Pet Care is by far the best place we have ever boarded Jade. We go on vacation without worrying about her at all. It's the best possible setup for Jade. In fact I think she often doesn't want to leave! Thank you so much for your kindness and care.“

“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!“
