“I will forever be grateful to the Tacoma Zoom Room and our amazing trainer, Diva. Almost 6 months ago, I decided to adopt one of my fosters that I was fostering through a local rescue. This sweet girl went on FOUR different adoption trials and was returned to the rescue after each one, all for different reasons. I was a little intimidated to adopt her, because I knew she would need a lot of hard work and dedication. I was happy to give it to her, but didn’t know if I was capable of helping her, as she is one of the most timid dogs I’ve ever worked with. We’ve only been in training for around 2 months now, and let me tell you, my dog is a completely different dog. In the best way! Not only that, but our relationship has grown so much. What used to be a super independent dog, is now attached at my hip. I never saw her wag her tail before training, not even one time. Now, she’s constantly wagging her tail and she even smiles! I have tears in my eyes as I type this because I’m so appreciative of how much progress we have made in what my opinion, is a very short amount of time. I can’t wait to see what else Diva helps us accomplish. If you are thinking about giving Zoom Room a try, I promise you won’t regret it. If they can help my dog, I’m convinced they can help any dog. Definitely one of the best investments I’ve ever made!!“

“I can’t say enough good things about K9 Timeless Training and Boarding! I took my 3-year-old labradoodle, Simba, to their 2-week board and train program with Jamal, and the difference is honestly night and day.

Before training, Simba had zero structure — he pulled hard on the leash, barked at everyone and everything, and even bit my 2-year-old daughter. He was always a house dog, and I’ll admit I let him get away with a lot. But after that bite incident, I knew something had to change.

From the very beginning, Jamal really took the time to understand our household and what we needed, especially with a toddler in the mix. When Simba came home, I could not believe it was the same dog. He’s now calm, obedient, and responsive. He no longer pulls on the leash or nips at anyone. He listens to commands, doesn’t bark excessively, and has such a better sense of control and focus.

What really stood out to me is that Jamal didn’t just train my dog — he also trained me. He gave me the confidence I needed as a dog owner to trust my dog and to trust myself. I now feel like Simba and I truly understand and respect each other. Our bond is stronger than ever, and I finally feel like I’m leading him in the right way.

We can now take him to off-leash parks, and he plays nicely with other dogs but comes right back when called. At home, he’s relaxed, respectful, and fits beautifully into our family again.

I’m beyond grateful to Jamal and his team for giving Simba the structure and foundation he needed — and for giving us peace of mind as a family. Highly, highly recommend K9 Timeless Training and Boarding!“

“Very easy process. They came to the house and worked with our Doberman in our pocket bullied not only did they help with the training themselves, but they also gave us a lot of great advice“

“I cannot say enough good things about Notre Dog Academy! They are extremely skilled trainers and have helped us so much with our dog. I would highly recommend to anyone regardless of your dogs age. They truly listen to what your pet’s needs and are caring and compassionate. If you are looking somewhere for dog training, day classes, or group classes, look no further!“

“Wonderful!Took our youngest for a trial run and they were very informative. Offered extra options but didn’t “force” them on me. The pricing was very reasonable.We went back and boarded all 3 of our dogs for a long weekend and it was amazing to not have to worry about the pups while we were gone. All three came back happy ?.“

“We are so happy we found Jeff's training services for our dog, Beans! We have learned a lot throughout our classes. Beans is much happier and can now go on walks in our neighborhood and to the park without being as reactive as she used to be. We didn't think we could ever take her to the park around people until now. Jeff quickly became one of her favorite people to see. He really cared for her and was always genuinely excited to see her for training lessons. The training was worth it and we are so thankful for the tools we have learned and can continue to use.“

“We are so happy with Brittney! This is the only place we will go for grooming and extended stays. Brittney always treats our Annie like she's family. Most importantly, Annie is always happy to see Brittney! This speaks volumes to me. We have never been disappointed. Thank you, Brittney! From Annie, Juli, and Kevin.“

“Mochi, our corgi, started going to Paws Play over 3 years ago. Jessica and her staff have always been very loving and attentive. When they were at the previous larger location, they were careful limiting the number of pups they have each day compared to other doggy daycares who don’t have a maximum. This really showed me that they truly care about our little precious one’s health as well as wanting to give each one the attention they deserve. When Jessica moved location to her house, we continued to take Mochi to her even though it was a bit out of the way to dirve prior to work because we trust them to look after Mochi as if he was their own pup. Mochi always loves going to them almost every day each week. Jessica is very communicative if there are any concerns and then sends out newsletters for updates. I also have enjoyed adventure days periodically when they have taken the pups to other places like parks and beaches.“

“I came to Hanna with my boy who is a Cane Corso mix after he had been attacked by another dog. He became extremely fearful of any dog we saw while outside. The dog could have been a football field away and my dog would lose his mind. Jumping around, barking, lunging etc. and my words would fall on deaf ears and I couldn’t get his attention back onto me. I was to the point of giving up. But I found Hanna and that all changed. My boy went from being a crazy lunatic at the end of the leash at the sight of a dog or even a jingle of a collar to a well behaved and calm dog again. He’s now able to work around other dogs, ignore other dogs, and focus on me. He’s able to go back to working as my service dog and helping me navigate the world. Because of Hanna I have my boy back. Because of Hanna I have a dog I can once again take out into public and him be confident, calm, and focused. Thank you Hanna so so much!!! Words can’t begin to describe how thankful I am to have found you and to have you in my and my boys life. ❤️❤️ I wholeheartedly recommend Elite K9 for the job of taking care of my dog and getting them to where they need to be!!!!“

“Playground: Right in the middle of the picnic areas, makes for easy observation of little ones while enjoying the view of the lake and sitting at your picnic area.

Toilets: They try to keep up from vandalism and homeless residing in there. Is anywhere safe from the stench and messes of tweakers? There are 2 bathroom buildings along the lake walking path, on the east side in the main building, and on the south side facing S. 72nd St.

Dog-friendliness: 3 fenced off leash areas. Not everyone picks up after their pooch, which is unacceptable being there are bags and trash cans posted throughout all 3. Decent place to do socializing and training with distractions.

Picnic area: One covered kitchen shelter, sometimes have to deal with homeless people residing there, but I feel that's pretty much anywhere now days. There's several tables and benches scattered about the park, even in the off leash area. Concentration of picnic tables around the playground, convenient for watching kids while watching your picnic area at the same time.“

“I have been a customer w/ 3 dogs assigned to the care of this facility & I really appreciate the care, compassion & willingness to answer any and all my questions. When I had a dog who sadly had full blown heart failure it was this clinic that held my hand & his paw ….. I am very pleased to have this clinic care for my 3yr old & wholeheartedly appreciate Dr Michael Houfek & Dr Carly Erickson they and all the front office are wonderful!“

“You need to place a sign where you used to be at this location letting people know the Vetco Staff is in back.“

“Wonderful tender loving care for my sweet pit bull, Leela. She so loves coming here and they love her. Thanks for all, Marty!❤️?“

“We’ve booked our 80lb dogs here twice for week long stays while visiting family. It’s an excellent place for your dogs big or small. The owners are knowledgeable and not put off by medication regiments. It’s comforting to leave your pets with someone who has built a life around their passion for dogs.“

“Both my husband and I have trained through Canyon Crest and STRONGLY believe in the training methods! We have worked with boxers through the program and have had incredible success. This is a program that trains the owner and teaches us how to communicate with our dog without the need for clickers, treats, or punishment. We recently adopted a dog through the humane society that was found as a stray, demonstrated resource guarding behavior and significant aggression potential. Through training, we learned she is actually incredibly gentle and intelligent! The issue is that she was never socialized, so anytime she heard a strange noise, saw an unfamiliar person or became overstimulated, she went into flight or fight mode. By learning to communicate with her and being her alpha person, she has blossomed! Thank you, Canyon Crest. We have recommended your services since 2019 and will continue to do so.“

“Great place. Everyone who works there is friendly. My dogs enjoyed their stay and all the staff. I 100% recommend.“

“Amazing place. Reasonable prices, very friendly, they care about the pets & the owners. Customer service is outstanding & answers all my questions. Definitely a 10/10!“
