Pet boarding/training in Boulder

“Emily is a lovely, kind person and a fantastic trainer. I have had several foster dogs in the last few years, and a foster fail. Emily is very knowledgeable, and her training focuses on building trust and positive experiences for each dog. I’ve seen them all grow in confidence and become much happier dogs, even when it may have seemed like a tough challenge initially. I highly recommend Emily.“

“Long overdue review. We found this location from online recommendations, specifically ones mentioning nervous dogs or dogs needing socializing. Our dog, Morticia, always showed signs of nervousness/fearfulness and would get a bit too excited around new dogs, but is very sweet with us. We boarded her with Cottonwood for 2 weeks after bringing Morticia weekly for daycare 10 weeks before our trip -- we wanted to make sure staff and Morticia were comfortable and confident.

Cottonwood Kennels made our weekly drive from Denver worth it. Their boarding price is determined by length of stay. Meals and enrichment aren't additional like some places in Denver are. They provide food and bowls and you're welcome to bring your own (give them a call and double check though). They offer punch cards for daycare and post pictures frequently on their Instagram. They are on a farm which also has agility obstacles.

Morticia gradually warmed up to the staff each weekly visit, she even started to get excited. It's been a couple months since we picked her up, and the dog we have now is much more confident and considerate of new people and dogs. We were never confident to take her to dog parks or open spaces, but now we are.

I don't want to advertise them as a training facility, but if you need people that understand dog behavior, that will supervise your dog child and treat them well, bring them here. Thank you to Shannon and Paige for boosting our confidence with our sweet Morticia, and to the rest of the staff that helped better her trust with new people.“

“Kind and helpful staff. The treating doctor answered by many questions throughly and with details!!“

“I highly recommend The Pet Spot! The care, love, and professionalism they provide are truly outstanding.

A special shoutout to Justin, one of their dog caregivers — the level of attention and genuine care he gives is unmatched. My pup absolutely adores him, and it says everything when your dog is excited and comfortable in someone’s care.

The Pet Spot will be our go-to for all of our boarding needs. Thank you for treating my pup like family! 🐾“

“After being switched to new management, Id like to report a 100% increase in engagement & customer service. Ive updated my review to reflect this change ♡

I've been a client here for years, but now I won't be coming back. I purchased a pet gate & was assured at check out that if it didn't work, it would be an easy return. The gate ended up being faulty. The latch didn't work. When I went to return my product 3 days later with my receipt in hand, I was told that I could only have store credit because it was over $100. Which is NOT store policy. No one even asked why I was returning it. Manager didn't even blink or apologize, just just dug in her heels & told me no. I've filed a formal complaint with corporate. Poor customer service.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Feldman, Jessica, and the entire team at the Veterinary Behavioral Center. They have really helped my cat, who has struggled with severe anxiety and fear-based aggression for most of his life. He would only allow me to handle and care for him. Even my husband was afraid of him, and cat-sitting for travel was basically impossible. I couldn’t be away for more than a couple of nights without my cat becoming stressed and experiencing flare-ups of his inflammatory bowel disease, which landed him in the ER and hospital multiple times.

Dr. Feldman and Jessica are highly knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate, and responsive to questions and concerns. They were available by text and email and always took the time to provide thoughtful guidance and support. I especially appreciated that Dr. Feldman looked at the whole picture, taking into account both my cat’s behavioral and medical history when developing the treatment plan. He nailed the medication management for anxiety on the first try, while Jessica’s techniques have been highly practical and effective in improving socialization.

It has taken patience and consistency, but the results have exceeded my expectations. My cat is happier, more confident and more relaxed around people. He and my husband now have a sweet relationship, and my mother-in-law can care for him when we travel—something I honestly never thought possible.

I also appreciate the payment plan option, which can be canceled at any time without penalties or fees. It’s clear that this team genuinely cares about helping pets and their families succeed. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with behavioral challenges in their pet.“
