Pet boarding/training near The Colony

“Amazing! They truly have a love for animals and it shows. They LOVE coming! And Jesus is a phenomenal trainer!“

“Randall has done an AMAZING job with Bailey!
I'm excited to get her home and utilize her training!“

“I can’t say better things about Tip Top K9! The hybrid package is perfect because you get the board and train/and one on one training together so you can also train with your dog! After board and train I noticed a huge difference and how fast my 6 month puppy Rooney learned things! The staff is so incredibly friendly, helpful and truly care about the dogs they train. I immediately felt comfortable leaving Rooney with them. Our trainer has been incredible and personable and has ensured not only Rooney but I also know the commands so that we’re both set up for success! Thank you so much Tip Top K9 I’ll definitely be referring anyone I know with puppies or dogs needing training here!“

“From a hyper-reactive rescue to a calm and loving family member in 10 days, Tip Top K9 gave me a way to communicate to my dog with clarity I didn't know was possible. I adopted Lyric at 2yo from a shelter and within a week of working with TTK9 her behavior at home, and the sidewalk, was something to be proud of. I cannot understate how amazing the trainers are at not only educating pets but the owners as well. I purchased the Teacher's Pet package after a 30 minute consultation and cannot say I have any regrets or complaints - the price is MORE than fair, and I have more confidence as an owner than ever. She was a destructive chewer, but using methods from TTK9 we were able to establish boundaries within 30 minutes. Barking, jerking on the leash at dogs and runners, chasing the broom and mop, and even jumping on the counter for some steak are no longer issues (Fixed in a DAY.) The collar isn't painful at all (self-tested) and the homework is easy! This training method isn't stuffing her with treats or hitting or shocking her all day. I put in a guilt-free hour of practicing a day mixed in with our routine walk and she really shines in our lessons. The in-house training versus driving to the location means she can be comfortable in her environment while also enjoying the same training pace. I'd highly recomend it, and do so whenever I get the chance. Thank you again to the team at Tip Top K9 Carrollton - you gave me a relationship with my dog I couldn't have imagined, and all under 2 weeks of adopting her. Now we can spend our time enjoying each other and practicing new skills, not still stuck training out bad habits.“

“Dr. Carroll and her team are awesome! I bring all three of my animals to her now ? Folks here truly care for your animals; she’s always very thorough and patient with my questions. Highly recommend! ?“

“Dr. Dees and the team at Riverchase are angels on earth. We had a Weimaraner that was the light of our world. The team at Riverchase loved him and cared for him as if he was their own.

Through some surgeries, some ailments, some illnesses, and even in health, the team at this animal hospital were better than I’ve ever experienced.

Especially though his later years and into hospice, Dr. Dees and her team went above and beyond to ensure our boy was able to get the care he needed while limiting his stress and discomfort.

Our sweet Polo crossed over the rainbow on 2/14/26, after 13.5 years of borrowed time, and he wouldn’t have had the life he had without this great team.

To Dr. Dees and Riverchase,

You’ve known Polo for a long time and you’ve been nothing but loving, caring, empathetic, and exceptional to our family member. Sometimes, the vet visit means something isn’t going well, but every visit, every check up, we knew he was in the best hands and that you all ACTUALLY cared.

Thank you for your support, your kindness, and your love of Polo. We will miss him so dearly but we know his life was better because he had the best nurses and doctors a doggy could ask for. Thank you.“

“First time here with our anxious pup. From the front desk to the vet tech to Dr. Tucker, our experience was professional and friendly. Our pup did well here - and that is a tribute to all the staff. We are delighted to have found you for our pup’s care.“

“Help in a moments notice. My baby girl had a bad ear infection and the folks at AMSH were there to help. Tiffie is a rescue and does not trust people at all. She was in real pain and they came to her rescue. An ear flush and a shot of medicine and she was fine by the time we got home. My wife said omg she is smiling again. She was...All you have to do is take your pet to them, they do the rest. Thank you AM&SH. Update 6/27/25 Tiffie had a limp after roughhousing in back with Chaucer. On the 3rd day still limping. She is our 5th Pyrenees and previous 2 dogs Big and Lani had bone cancer so I'm definitely worried. Dr. Curtis gave her a good exam and decided to give meds and another week before x-rays. 4 days later now and the limp is 99% gone. Dr. Curtis decision to med first and give time was spot on the right call. Bottom line is they treat your pets professionally and with pets best interests in mind. They do not un necessarily sell you . Waiting on x-rays saved us $$ and I'm greatful AM&SH has the best doctors and staff available. And they are always available. LP Smith Tiffie and Chaucer“

“Dr. Moore and the staff are amazing. Very knowledgeable and kind. We've been brining our pups here since 2022 and never had a complaint. The new receptionist is not as friendly as the last one, but hey, we can't all be superstars.“

“We have taken our 4 & 6 yr old German Shepherds to Total Care Animal Hospital since we brought them home. Everyone there is absolutely amazing and our boys love them!“

“Amazing clinic!! We came here for an unexpected issue while visiting Plano. They were kind and flexible. They were able to fit us in for an appt. Receptionist was so kind and helpful. Tech and vet were so gentle and kind to my old gal. Scheduled appt was prompt and on schedule. I truly couldn’t be more grateful. If I lived here, I’d love to make this my primary vet.“

“Welcoming, personal and knowledgeable staff.
Very responsive, always take time to address questions and concerns and wonderful with both of my older senior girls.“

“My dog Toby is my bff, ride-or-die, Velcro dog. He’s a little anxious and scared of lots of people and places. But not at Dogtopia.

From day one, the staff have gone out of their way to make him comfortable. They welcome him by name, give him ridiculous amounts of pets, and let him be himself. While he doesn’t know “Dogtopia”, when I ask if he wants to go see “Dog Frenz” he knows what I mean and yell/howls at me until I grab his lead.

We were out of state for a few months but when we walked back in the door, he was immediately at home. His reunion with the staff was epic.

I just got a new job. And even though it will add an extra 10 minutes to my commute, Toby will still be going to see his “Dog Frenz” at Dogtopia Frisco-Preston His full-body wiggles when we pull into the parking lot tell me everything I need to know. I wouldn’t take him anywhere else. 🐾“

“Amazing staff and so caring about your dogs health and well being. Helpful walkthrough all the options on vaccinations and upcoming steps. Thank you!“

“My pup Echo was there over the holidays. Our follow up sessions with Ali have been great and we have finally found a system that helps Echo with her confidence.“

“Awesome doctors and staff! They are friendly, professional and compassionate! I would highly recommend this clinic!“

“They got us in quickly as a new patient. They treated our senior cat with gentleness and care. Very kind and professional group!“

“Sara is my groomer. I love how she interacts with all my dogs before they go back to staging. Sara is open minded and understands my concerns and needs. And my dogs love her. That says a lot for me. I have not been disappointed. Highly recommend Sara and the staff.“

“Clean facility, smells good, staff is friendly and you can tell they love the dogs. Our dog loves going there.“

“Our experience has always been very positive. Excellent boarding and vet services.
Staff is exemplary!“

“I highly recommend Yard Dog to anyone who is looking to drop off their dog to truly enjoy themselves.This place is a great and clean place to come to.The whole staff will make you&your dog feel welcomed.Dont hesitate, bring your dog so they can meet new doggy friends 🧡“

“We had a wonderful experience working with Carla for our golden retriever puppy, Butter. We chose a combination of in-home training and boarding, and it was exactly what Butter needed. During boarding, Carla provided valuable exposure to other dogs, new environments, and a variety of experiences that helped Butter build confidence and reinforce good behavior. The consistent repetition and structure she provided made a noticeable difference.
What we appreciated most was Carla's patience with us as owners. She took the time to thoroughly explain what she was teaching , demonstrate the behaviors, and show us how to continue training at home. She made sure we understood not just what to do, but why it worked.
We were especially impressed by Carla's training philosophy. Her methods reflect modern, evidence-based training that focuses on clear communication, consistency and building trust rather than relying on fear, intimidation, or punishment . Butter responded beautifully to this approach, and we felt confident knowing she was being trained in a way that respected her temperament while helping her learn.
Carla clearly cares about the dogs she works with and is committed to helping the dog and the family succeed. We are very pleased with Butter's progress and highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for a knowledgeable , patient, and effective training.“

“Everyone is very accommodating, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They’re friendly with the animals and the owners of them? I“

“We went to Wiggle Butt Academy looking for help with Bandit. He was resource guarding water, us and could be aggressive toward bigger dogs. We knew we needed help before heading to St. Louis to be around family and help with the baby.

The Nicole worked with us using positive reinforcement, leash training, and techniques that truly addressed his behaviors in a calm and encouraging way. They helped us understand Bandit better and gave us tools that actually worked.

The difference in him now is amazing. He and furry cousin not only get along, but they actually share a water bowl and often drink together peacefully — something we honestly never thought we’d see.

We are so grateful for the patience, guidance, and support we received at Wiggle Butt Academy. They helped give us confidence and helped Bandit become a happier, more relaxed dog. Highly recommend them to anyone needing help with their pup.“

“Friendly, professional staff. Puppy/Dog mentors are great, exceeded my expectations. The online material are also a big plus. Our puppy starts puppy training on Jun 8th! Yay!“
