Pet Boarding Training near Rancho Cordova

“Today I took my dog to the bank for the first time in a few months. I use to take her all the time, but she has triggers that we’re not sure where they come from and she can get quit intimidating…I put her in a sit, down/stay position while I was with the teller, who is very familiar with Kansas, especially her tornado side ?. I told her she’s been in training for about the last 6 months. She laughed and said “she might be too chill now” hahaha she did really good! Her training with Patrick and Bradley are working wonders on her! And after staying in their home with them for a 2 week board and train, she fell in love with Patrick (and Shannon) and now gets so excited to see them!“

“I have been taking my dogs to FDR for many years and appreciate the love and care they provide for our Fancy and Charley!! The staff is always helpful and friendly!! They do their best to keep our pups safe and loved!! Thank you FDR!! ?“

“I take my dog there for grooming. Heather is the best! So patient and caring for my little dog. Highly recommend!“

“Arden Animal made Buck and myself comfortable while he crossed the rainbow bridge. We love Arden Animal, I have been taking my fur babies to them since 2000.“

“Buster’s Pet Reosrt does excellent pet services. I have used this place for several services over the past couple years. The staff are knowledgeable and care greatly about my dog. She pulls me to the door to see her favorite people inside. The prices are reasonable especially when the care is so wonderful. I highly recommend Buster’s!“

“It was nice a lot of cool birds but they were kinda rude and kinda yelled at us but we did find the birds nest and the woker Lisa gave a lot of information and was very helpful“

“I recommend ‘Midtown Mutts’ swiftly and without hesitation to anyone who asks me about dog care. I have been using them exclusively for the past year. My pup was 6 months when I started using them for dog sitting. Honestly, I have nothing but good things to say about them.

They’re knowledgeable, professional, responsible, and caring. The reports at the end of each visit are phenomenal. Every sitter I have met has been approachable and respectful. For some reason they’re all photographers and professional dog trainers too!? I don’t know how they do it. They know all my boys quirks and know when something is off. Plus, they’re super accommodating with any of my request and when there are changes in his routine.

It’s super rare to get your moneys worth nowadays but with Midtown Mutts I feel that it’s worth every cent. I truly don’t know what my pup and I would do without them! Like seriously, I wanted to move to a different town and they were a huge factor in my decision to stay. If I had moved I would have been outside their service area. I couldn’t do it ?

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone at Midtown Mutts that makes this level of excellence possible!“

“This is a wonderful vet specializing in cat care. We recently moved to the area and they were able to see both my cats within a week of scheduling. The pricing was very reasonable and I appreciated how they spaced out the appointment to give attention to my cats.“

“I called Wag Time because we relocated from a country environment to a suburban one. Our 100lb dobie wasn’t used to all the excitement in his new neighborhood and he became reactive towards other dogs.

It’s been a long hard road for us but I’d have to say we finally turned a corner thanks to Don’s help. He has given us the tools to redirect our boy.

When he had a vet appointment they asked me if I’d sedated him because he was so calm. That is huge for us!

Don has alway kept our line of communication open between visits and that’s been very helpful. I would highly recommend Wag Time to anyone considering dog training.“

“Took my dogs there for immunizations. Staff were mostly friendly, seemed to care for animals, store not crowded, short wait for appointment, vet seemed skilled and kind, cost for immunizations seemed reasonable. Only thing I didn’t care for: I’m in my 70s with health issues, and they still asked me if I could lift my 28 pound dog onto the table. That was something they should have automatically done themselves.“

“Our puppy has become such a well behaved boy as we, his pet parents, learned how to interact with him. The lessons are invaluable and will be used as tools forever for his benefit“

“I have been training with Bonny my german shepherd with Allbree. Before Bonny was in this 3 weeks training away, that did nothing. When I picked her up she was skinnier and afraid much more that when she went in, and trained at all.
Bonny is 6 years old German Shepherd, reactive. After we started with Alan, with recommendations and Alan answering question and updates, she is doing significantly better, working to get her more confident. Alan and Renee offers a variety of tips and tools, and accommodating Bonny to get her trained and still some ways to go. She is very afraid and I got her not as a puppy. I strongly recommend their training.“

“Absolutely the best in the business! Jamie is a true dog whisperer, she’s been grooming my dogs for over 10 years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. She runs a one-woman operation with a heart of gold, always putting the animals first. From grooming high-risk dogs that chains refuse to handle, to brushing teeth, cleaning anal glands, and even spotting potential health issues....she does it all with care, consistency, and incredible knowledge.

Jamie doesn’t just groom......she guides. She’s pointed out growths, dental issues, weight changes, and more. Before I call the vet, I go to her. She offers advice, treatment options, and questions to ask that have saved me time and money. She’s even helped with leash training and nutrition. Reasonably priced and truly one-of-a-kind, Jamie is a gem!“

“Vicki took a golden retriever and a dachshund at a moment's notice when their dad had to go to the hospital for an indeterminate stay. Her calm and caring presence was just what the dogs needed. We very much appreciate her "stepping up" for strangers who just called her out of the blue.“

“American River Canine saved our family! About two years ago, my fiancé and I adopted a German Shepherd named Bear from the Sacramento SPCA. Bear was, and still is, an energetic, fun-loving, sweet dog. He just wasn't friendly towards other dogs or cats. Bear would growl, lunge, and chase any other animal near him. Walking him just around the block was challenging because he would tug and try to go after other dogs and cats. It turns out that what we were interpreting as aggression, was actually pent-up excitement in Bear. Deric's extensive knowledge in psychology along with his years of experience working with dogs opened our eyes on how to better understand and communicate with Bear. Deric helped us work with Bear on commands like "place", "here", "out" and "leave it". Working on these commands seemed more like training for us humans, but it all paid off in the end. Nowadays, Bear is a much more obedient dog who can be in the same room as our cats without growling or trying to run after them. Walking Bear is no longer a scary activity. It is something we can do with ease. We even take Bear out in public places like Home Depot, PetSmart, and Iron Horse. We are also in the process of adopting another dog for our family too! Both Bear and our newer dog attend Deric's doggie daycare, The Nature of Dogs, twice a week. I can honestly say that if it weren't for Deric, we probably would have rehomed Bear. I am forever grateful for the dedication and insight Deric has given to our family. I would 100% highly recommend American River Canine for any of your canine training needs!“

“If you’re looking for a professional, caring and super knowledge trainer Unleash the Beast is the best! We had a super energetic toy poodle, 4 months old with no concept of commands. We also did not want to use treats so we signed up to the board and train and could not be happier with the results. I got pictures of our pup every day for 5 weeks, FaceTimes and also at home visits and training sessions to help us sustain the behaviour. I feel so blessed to have found this business and am pretty sure we will continue to work with Unleash the Beast throughout my dogs life - this training will improve our quality of life with our pup. I would do it again and again, money well spent! Thank you!!“

“Kayla is amazing, she quickly and efficiently helped us get all the essentials down when we got our lovely little rescue pup. Her recall training is especially wonderful: It’s easy, fun for both you and the pup, and results in the most reliable recall we could ever hope for. It’s saved us from having a skunked dog more than once, and been a great resource when socialising! I can’t recommend her highly enough!“
