Pet Boarding Training near Manchaca

“April 2026

I waited four months with a few visits to review Jumping Jack Dog Ranch and overall an excellent place for my dog to come to. The ranch has a wide range of services with a few you won't find elsewhere like a pool, individual fenced-in artificial turf yards, and hiking trails. They offer grooming sessions, daycare, and boarding all which my girl enjoyed. The staff is very nice and all love dogs, and my pup is always excited to come back.

The grooming session was mixed with daycare so you drop off in the morning and pick up I the afternoon. You describe what you want and how short to cut their hair. The groomer did a great job with my girl where she looked and smelled great.

The daycare and boarding went very well too where I received photos of her daily playing outside with staff. They have some additional options when you check in to enhance your dog's experience and comfort.

Overall they take great care of your loved one.“

“Lisa is the absolute best, she knows my yorkie has breathing problems and gets him done in a timely manner and does an amazing job every time.“

“Everytime I go, I take 2 active dogs in the morning and pick up 2 tired dogs in the afternoon. The girls love going to daycare, so I know they are well taken care off.“

“I cannot speak highly enough of this Doggy Daycare. It’s incredible to find a daycare that does not use kennels, so dogs spend their time running around and playing freely 100% of the time. Nancy, the owner, is very experienced in daycare service industry, well-versed in dog behavior and provides a safe and stimulating environment for dogs to play and thrive. Nancy sends me numerous daily photos of my Stuart playing, and the photos not only bring a huge smile my face but also assures me he is having the best time at Daycare.“

“The people there are friendly, but it seems to me they all care much more about treating the dogs well. I DARE you to show up before 3:00!?“

“I’ve been bringing my puppy to daycare at Train My Dogs for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they’ve provided. Chepe is always so excited to see the friends he’s made that he doesn’t even say goodbye to me at drop-off! I can’t recommend them enough for the love and attention they give to dogs, and I especially appreciate their strong emphasis on positive reinforcement. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Chepe!“

“Jake absolutely crushed it with my dogs training! Very informative and took care of all of our issues! I’d recommend for anyone that needs training for their furry friend!“

“The highest compliment I could give Upper Paw is to say that since our dog Watson began going to playcare there twice a week, *she is a better dog.* I'm not saying that Watson wasn't awesome before—she's amazing—but it like this place has some magic pixie dust or something that they sprinkle on the dogs to make them happier to be dogs, if that makes sense. Watson was a little nervous at first (she's still a puppy), but by the second week, she was pulling on the leash to get in the door! The staff is, to a person, great—special shout-out to Terrent, who chased me down the street to give me a squeaky toy we'd left behind one day. Everyone on staff shows genuine care for the animals and interacting with Terrent, Johnny, and the rest of the crew is just kind of a pleasure, frankly. The picture of Watson is one they took on Valentine's Day because of course they did. (Photo by Jess @ puffs pet pics) Thank you, Upper Paw!!“

“Southpaws is a second home for Shiner and Siena and has been for a dozen years! Expert care for pups and their humans.“

“Capital Veterinary Clinic came through for us when our adult cat needed emergency care. Their fees are transparent and reasonable, and they showed genuine care for our pet. Doctors and staff are all very kind, and their facility is nice and well kept. So glad I found this facility and we plan to bring all of our pets here if ever needed.

Thank you Capital Veterinary!“

“Had such a great experience with Ruff Ranch! Love that they do an observation day with new pets to make sure they’re matching dog’s personalities with the right play groups. This was the first time boarding my dog and she seemed to love it. The freedom to run around outside most of the day as well as splash around a kiddie pool when it was hot was wonderful. They also do an exit bath for an extra fee which is a great add on in my opinion. Their pricing for everything I felt was good too. Very happy with our experience and appreciate the friendly and informative staff!“

“Can't say enough great things about my dog's first day. Spencer and Ian were great with both of my dogs. They are former rescue dogs from an abused background and the staff at the Acre worked really well with them to assess and address their needs. I will definetly be back.“

“My dogter JezzieBelle abso loves this spot. Any other place would have her upset and I believe it's because some places are very cold and unfriendly from a dog's point of view. But Kyla took Jezz to have her nails trimmed and when she returned Jezz was a rambunctious puppy all over again. Talk about HAPPY DOG!!! Another note that should be mentioned is that Jezz hasn't really had any exposure to other dogs but there happened to be a puppy (Jezz is almost 5yrs) in the lobby and was there when they brought her back to me. I could not believe how calm and at ease she was after her trimming that she wanted to stay and play. These people are absolutely awesome at their service and Jezz would definitely be coming back.“

“Dr. Rivera and the staff here have been wonderful with my dog’s acupuncture sessions. They always do their best to make sure my anxious 12 year old dog is as comfortable as possible. I thought Pippin would be too scared to get acupuncture but he’s been doing great with his weekly sessions for the past 2-3 months.“

“It was great to come back and find mylo playing with all the other dogs!
We will definitely come back and trust them with our little boy!“

“I’ve been bringing my standard poodle to As The Fur Flies since January 2024. He’s a very anxious rescue, and Ada and Morgan have taken exceptional care of him. Over the past two years, they’ve patiently earned his trust and helped him feel safe and comfortable with grooming. Their skill and compassion truly stand out, and I highly recommend them, especially for poodle owners!“

“I signed up for 7 private lessons for my 1-year-old Golden Retriever, River, and it has been such a great experience. Steven is an amazing trainer.

I originally wanted help mainly with walking and recall, but River has learned so much more than that through these lessons. He listens better, is calmer, more focused, and overall much more responsive in everyday situations. Walks are actually enjoyable now, and I finally feel confident taking him out to patios and public places without feeling stressed.

What I appreciated most was that the training was personalized to River and our specific challenges instead of feeling like a one-size-fits-all approach. In just a few weeks, I’ve noticed such a positive difference not only in his behavior but also in our relationship and bond.

This has been one of the best investments I could have made for my dog, and I would highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a trainer who truly wants to help both you and your dog succeed“

“I have used Bobbi Colorado's both for board & training and for boarding while on business trips. The staff is friendly, listened to my concerns for my animals, and they came back healthy and happy. Jagger significantly helped train my wild Golden doodle - he's no longer jumping on people, which is huge. My skittish poodle even had a great time during boarding as they were found the right companions to play with during the day. Staff is great - Jack at check in - and everyone we interacted with. Thank you!“

“We love it here... for daycare and for boarding, they always take good care of our fur baby. I love the nature walks and picture updates everyday.“

“See Jane Walk your Pet.
Compassionate Care Best Yet.
First Choice Remains Jane!“

“There aren’t enough words for me to describe how great Kenny is as a dog trainer. He really takes the time to get to know you, your dog, and what you seek to get out of the sessions. I really appreciate how much Kenny cares about my dog, the progress my dog makes throughout the sessions, and how approachable he can be outside of the sessions.

He makes sure to send a detailed summary of the training and tips to make sure the techniques work, and will always answer any questions you may have. The difference in my dog’s behavior before and after the six sessions with Kenny is astronomical. Thanks to Kenny, my dog no longer pulls on the leash during our walks, is no longer reactive to other people and their dogs, and has shown many other positive changes.

I would definitely recommend anyone with a dog to set up sessions with Kenny because he truly is the best.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Outstanding Training with Real Results Kris Tait at Canine Moxy has been instrumental in strengthening my understanding of my dog and developing effective obedience strategies. Through both group and private lessons, he's helping us progress toward our goals of on and off-leash obedience and agility work. What sets Kris apart is his keen, practical approach. He doesn't just teach commands—he creates real-world stress tests and brings in other people and dogs to address specific challenges, ensuring the training actually sticks outside the classroom. His expertise has been invaluable in building true partnership with my dog, not just compliance. If you're looking for a trainer who delivers ongoing progress and sets you up for long-term success, I highly recommend Kris at Canine Moxy.“

“We worked with both Christian and Ashley and omg, they were incredible! We just adopted our sweet girl a few months ago and were worried because it seemed like her life pre-adoption may not have been great. But River learned so quickly! The trainers were so helpful in teaching River AND teaching us too. I’m personally way more confident in having River as my first pet EVER thanks to Sit Means Sit. I’m so grateful for this program so that we can be better dog parents while making sure we keep River safe too.“

“Truly one of the greatest place for our Diesel where he loves and enjoys such a friendly staff!“

“We always have a great experience at Travis Country Vet. The whole staff is so kind to our dog, comforting and gentle. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.“

“Transformative Online Training, Truly Beyond Words!

We are so grateful for Allegra and her incredible online training program. We took in two stray dogs who were wild, anxious, and completely untrusting. We weren't sure where to begin and it was chaotic for us, until we found her.

Through her online courses and virtual sessions, she helped guide us step by step with patience, wisdom, and a technique that honestly goes beyond words. Even though we never met in person, her presence and deep understanding of animal behavior came through in every interaction.

With her support, our dogs have started to trust us, calm down, and settle into their new life. The change has been remarkable. It feels like a miracle to see them open up and begin to feel safe and loved.

If you're dealing with fearful or reactive dogs, do not hesitate to work with Allegra. Her approach is compassionate, intuitive, and truly life-changing.

Thank you, Allegra, so much!!“
