“I don’t often leave reviews, but VVS deserves 10 stars. Bill and his crew are fantastic horse people and humans.I had recently moved to the area and needed to bring my horse (3 year old at the time) out of his prior training barn and into a facility I could work him at. Well, lets just say my 3 yr old need A LOT more training then I had time or confidence for. Bill was wiling to help train him and keep me posted with videos and pictures of his progress. The horse is now almost 5, and is an absolute star!If you have a young horse, a horse who needs some refresher training, maybe a kid who wants to learn to ride, or just a wonderful barn family….call Bill, like right now!“

“Great boarding facilities. Everyone is super nice. I would recommend for your furry pet !“

“Andrew is an outstanding trainer!

He was first recommended to me by a friend whose dog had been successfully trained by Andrew. The positive changes in my friend’s dog’s behavior were so significant and obvious I decided to have my male black lab Doctor go through Andrew’s board & train program too.

My black lab was two years-old at the time, friendly, happy and headstrong, as well as totally unaware of his 95-lb strength. After Doctor completed the board & train program, he was a solid citizen—he knew all the basic commands like sit, down, stay, heel, place, come, leave it and drop it, but more importantly Doctor was just so much easier to live with and more enjoyable to take along on outings.

Even though Andrew was strict with him during training, Doctor loved Andrew, so when a year later I needed to go on an extended trip out of the country for two weeks, I boarded Doctor with him. I felt comfortable leaving the country knowing that Andrew would take excellent care of him in my absence.

Two years later, I recently again took Doctor back to Andrew for a few days of remedial leash training, with very positive results. Over the previous two years, I’d gotten a little inconsistent and lax in not always holding Doctor to Andrew’s high behavioral training standards, which is why the refresher training was needed.

My goal now is to get Doctor certified as a therapy dog, so that I can take him to visits patients at local hospitals. He’s such a friendly and gentle dog, and I know patients will absolutely love him. If it weren’t for the positive behaviors Doctor has learned from Andrew, though, becoming a therapy dog would not even be a realistic goal.

Thanks again Andrew & Citizen K9!!!“

“We have 3 chihuahuas who do not board or attend doggy daycare on a regular basis so they are a little shy to warming up. Tracy and Joe treated them like one of their own and took great care of them while we were on vacation. Tracy did a home visit first to get to know them, then our dogs went to her home for a few hours the week before we left town. Tracy communicated with us and even sent pictures while we were gone. We didn't have to worry at all knowing they were safe and sound. We will definitely return when we need boarding services again!“

“A very friendly staff and a clean facility. Nail trims are a great service for the price as well.“
