The team at Man's Best Friend did a great job boarding Louie for over two weeks while we went away on vacation. Louie takes time to get used to humans and needs to be kept separated from other dogs and MBF came through without any issues. We will certainly use them again in the future and if you have a difficult dog, they are worth a shot. We had complete peace of mind while we were overseas. Check them out!

The results have been incredible. Our dog came home more confident, well-behaved, and responsive—we truly got everything we were hoping for and more. It’s made such a positive difference in our day-to-day life and our relationship with our dog.

What stood out the most was how much thought and consistency went into the training.… read full review
