“We had an incredible experience with Autumn during our one-on-one private session. In just one visit, she made a remarkable impact on both me and my dog, Tyson. Autumn quickly assessed Tyson's behavior and provided us with clear, actionable tips that addressed important areas such as listening to commands and managing typical puppy behaviors.<br><br>What stood out the most was Autumn's patience and encouragement throughout the session. She ensured that we not only understood each step but also felt completely confident in applying the training techniques at home.<br><br>I wholeheartedly recommend Autumn to anyone in need of personalized and effective guidance. Her expertise made a significant difference, even after just one session!”
“Can't recommend these folks enough! They've always taken such great care of our cats. Really appreciate their thoughtfulness! We love bringing the cats here!”
“Started seeing Bri last summer when we first got our second fur baby! And Cannot recommend enough her services in dog training and helping our pup out with impulse control and leash reactivity during walks. Every session was useful and personable. It is clear that Bri, Lani, and the team really care ? and have the dogs best interest in mind always. Quality care”
“We had a serious miscommunication regarding the spaying procedure of my puppy but I was impressed and appreciative of their professionalism in handling this situation to my satisfaction. I think we all learned something from it.”
“Nic has been training Parker since she was a puppy, and I truly could not be happier with the experience. He is patient, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about the dogs he works with. From the very beginning, Nic took the time to understand Parker’s personality and helped build her confidence while also teaching her good behavior and obedience.<br><br>What I appreciate most is that Nic doesn’t just train the dog, he also teaches you how to work with your dog so the training continues at home. Parker has come such a long way, and I know a lot of that is because of Nic’s consistency, skill, and dedication. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, experienced, and amazing with dogs, I highly recommend Nic.”
“We were able to board our pup of 4 years in very short notice. We could not be more grateful for Hometown to have availability for her to stay for almost a week. They were very accommodating, and had a schedule laid out to take care of her and take her on walks.<br>They were understanding of her nervousness, especially separation anxiety. When I called to check in on her, they responded with patience. They were supportive and honest on how she was doing.<br>It’s clear that she was well taken care of and treated with care during her stay!”
“My dogs enjoy going. I enjoy the peace of mind that they are cared for when I can't be there.”
“We take our dog here at least once a week for daycare and have also boarded her. She is always so excited to go play with her friends including the staff. The staff greet her by name. When we pick her up she has had so much fun that she doesn’t always want to come home. We feel safe leaving her there. We have been bringing our dog here for the last year and half.”
“We love 5 Pups! Well my dog Molly has been going there for 5 years and it’s our go to for boarding. As a city pup, she doesn’t get tons of opportunities to run around and be free and I know she loves it. I can enjoy my travels knowing she is safe and loved by Arthur, Michael, and the rest of the team. Pick up/drop off in DC is such a breeze. Molly loves it so much she gets excited any time she sees a white van 😂”
“Zuzu, our Giant Schnauzer, been seeing Ebony at Pretty Pets for almost 2 years now. We love the work she does for our girl and for a great price. She listens to exactly what we want and takes great care. Thank you!”
“Lauren helped us retrain our dog before moving abroad after he became impossible in older age and it honestly changed our life! Our dog Piper had become extremely reactive towards other dogs and couldn’t even walk by them. After working with Lauren, Piper has been playing with other dogs every single day, visiting crowded markets in Europe happily, sitting at cafés, hiking off leash, and is even loving the dog park. He has had no issues with dogs big and small. Strongly recommend!”
“I cannot express enough how much I recommend Frolick!!! I initially was just going to the open gym in the evenings to practice agility and basic commands with my Bernedoodle , where I had met initially Kevin and Kim (the owners). Kevin is SUCH a wealth of knowledge about dogs and had given me initial tips to build on what my girl already knew, but the more we talked, I knew the day board and train would be the best option. IN COMES JUSTIN!! He has the Kevin touch as well. Everything looks effortless. He also was beyond patient with me ( I think I was harder to train than my dog tbh, but you’ll have to ask him). Now, I swear my girl loves Justin more than me (they really should love their trainers that much!), she loves “going to school” (which is what we call Frolick)- to the point she starts Panting when we get close by on Duke street.<br>The perfect mix of corrections and positive reinforcement, training the things I needed the most and was having the hardest time being consistent with (place, heel, recalls) and dealing with reactivity! GOD SENDS. If I have a question or concern,I don’t feel dumb asking or coming to Frolick to ask or practice. EVERYONE has noticed how much more relaxed both my pup and myself are now- that’s confidence from Justin. Frolick is truly a family and I wish I would have found them even sooner. I will be eternally grateful!!”
“I've been using 4 Pets' Sake for years and I trust them 100%. What a good feeling to go away and NOT worry about my animals. The caretakers are amazing and TRULY CARE about the animals! I love the emails sent after every visit. Brightens my day!”
“just a beautiful facility and really, really nice and knowledgeable people. i went for a confirmation class/intro to dog show training with my English cocker spaniel and will definitely be back.”
“I can’t say enough great things about our dog trainer Rayna Kinney! Before working together, walks were stressful and unpredictable due to my dog’s reactivity. Now, Junior confidently sits, stays, and lies down on command—even in public settings—and no longer reacts to distractions. Because of this training, I can take him places I never thought possible—and I can even trust him off leash. My grandchildren can also come over now without him jumping on them, which has made visits so much more enjoyable and stress-free. It’s truly opened up a whole new world for both of us. We’re no longer limited—we get to enjoy life together in a way we couldn’t before. If you’re struggling with your dog’s behavior, I highly recommend investing in a trainer like this. It has made an incredible difference for us!”
