Pet boarding/training near Pacifica

“I would just like to share my experience with the group at Custom-K9 I started taking my dog Pepper there back in April of 2026 he was very much the puppy - jumping on people, nipping at your hands, and just being an out of control puppy. After the first few sessions with the trainer Jeff, Pepper showed immediate improvement, he stopped jumping and was able to do simple commands sit, stay, and come. When I felt like he wasn't progressing like I thought he should Beckie would take the time to talk to us and explain the things they were doing and let me know that everything would work out. Jeff even takes time to come to your house and work with you and your family on commands so you get comfortable working with your dog. Well it's been over two months now and Pepper is the dog I have always wanted him to be, Pepper is much happier now and so is the rest of my family!
If you want a well trained dog and a group of solid people I would highly recommend Beckie and Jeff at Custom-K9!“

“My dog had a wonderful first experience! The accommodations are really nice and so are all the dogs I met! Slav is very thoughtful in his planning and communication. He's a very caring person. I'm really happy to know this exists locally and look forward to the next time!“

“We love Top Dog! If you want peace of mind, I highly recommend Top Dog. They’ve been a massive part of our dog's life for over 4 years, through puppy school, walking classes, and now regular ranch outings 3 days a week. The bond she has with the Top Dog team is incredibly special.

They’re accommodating and communicative with scheduling and focus on safety. They are brilliant at managing dog dynamics, making sure every dog is grouped with similar temperaments. They genuinely put the happiness and well being of the dogs first and we’re lucky to have Natalie and the Top Dog team in our dog’s life.“

“My doxie is blind& deaf& needs eye meds/ everything went so well that he was never afraid& even went outside each day& had fun!! This place has been my go to for over 14 years& if pet camp ever stops being a part of San Francisco then I will stay home!! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart?“

“Best treat selection everywhere. My dog gives this place two paws up!
Friendly, engage, helpful.“

“Fantastic place for your dog to stay, our little Yorkie has been staying here when we need him to for years, the staff is lovely and they take great care of him.

I'd add that one time we unfortunately needed our dog to stay there for several weeks after an emergency and they were so kind to us and to him through that whole period. Just really the nicest people.“

“This place is a life saver! I would only trust my feather babies with the best, and I trust the San Francisco Bird Hotel“

“The staff was courteous and friendly. The doctor was. Answered all questions and cleared all doubts.“

“When we adopted our Chihuahua mix Mingus he had a real chip on his shoulder and was practically feral adn very aggressive to strangers and all dogs. He couldnt walk properly on the leash, be he was too busy barking and lunging at all dogs, looking for a fight around every corner. Me and my husband could not agree on training tactics and we feared we would never be able to have visitors over again after he bit my mother in law.

After doing Dan's 5 week training program, Mingus is a new dog. He's calmer, and more secure in himself. He can walk on a leash, barks less at other dogs, and actually has boundaries that he can follow. Me and my husband all know the same training commands which helped our arguments about Mingus to subside.

After we had our first child, Dan was kind enough to come to our house for a free at home training session to help strategize on how to get Mingus acclimated as we feared his aggression would flare up again with our new baby. Luckily this has never happened bc Mingus is truly a completely different/better dog bc of Dan's services.“

“I own a young field Golden Retriever with boundless energy that needs to be channeled into productive, fun activities. I discovered Golden Gate Dog Sports online and was immediately impressed by their offerings.

We started with the Sports Sampler to see which disciplines—tricks, agility, or nose work—would most excite her, and it turns out she loved all of them!
Our trainer, Erika, made every sport feel exciting and accessible, ensuring all the dogs had a fantastic time.

We’ve since moved on to Pre-Agility with Erin, who is equally wonderful and passionate. The facility is impressively clean and organized, and the curriculum is designed so that every dog feels encouraged and successful. It’s clear the team takes their work seriously while keeping the atmosphere joyful. Five stars—we both absolutely love it here!“

“Reynaldo is amazing! I took my English Bulldog here and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, Reynaldo’s hospitality and service stood out. He treated my dog with such care—gentle, kind, and patient every step of the way. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in truly trusted hands. I can’t recommend Reynaldo enough!“

“Larry is amazing with the dogs and their humans. He switches up the training every class. He’s patient and very experienced , the dogs really enjoy being there. The atmosphere is quiet, safe, and clean. He is very affordable and worth every penny and much more. We feel completely grateful and lucky to have found K9 Comrades.
Our Roxy has learned so much in the few classes we’ve taken.“

“We brought our rescue dog to Alicia's today and the team did an excellent job with our dog. We will be back! Thank you!!“

“I’m the best example of how great a dog trainer and behaviorist The Pooch Coach is!!“

“We can't thank Vivian enough for always doing a great job with our dog! We only go to her, and will not switch! She's very nice. Her haircuts are consistent. We especially appreciate how she can nail the round teddy bear look--see how our dog has really round paws and face? So cute! Not only that but under his paw pads are so trim. She also does fabulous trimming his nails and handling his oddly angled dewclaw. Thank you Vivian!“
