Pet Boarding Training near Kingston

“There aren’t enough stars for Amanda’s knowledge, enthusiasm & effectiveness. I met her a few years ago when my black lab was pinning a friend of mine’s dog. She gave me the tools to encourage positive behavior towards the other dog and they became best friends surprisingly quickly! When I ran across another that Pax didn’t like, I went back to Amanda and once again, she is working miracles. Does it take effort as an owner to follow throw on strategies and exercises? Yes, but they’re so effective & SO worth it. Purely positive reinforcement at its best. Thank you, Amanda, for your knowledge and the faith you have in me and Pax!“

“We cannot recommend Kylee at Run Dog Run highly enough! We began working with her after we adopted our 3.5 year old Border Collie who had spent several months in shelters. The difference we have seen is nothing short of remarkable, and our dog LOVES her!

Kylee not only helped all of us with basic obedience, she helped him build confidence and become much less reactive with other dogs and to his surroundings through desensitization training. We also learned how to engage his high intelligence and channel his energy and instincts in practical ways to ensure he has a structured and balanced life.

It really helps too that the team at Run Dog Run will know about your dog’s training and will reinforce key aspects (like no jumping on people!) if the dog attends daycare/boarding. Half-day sessions once a week really improved our dog’s socialization and confidence as well. This combination has worked wonderfully for us.

Through her program, our dog has transformed from an anxious, jumpy pup to a confident, well-adjusted dog who understands his job is to engage with us and not to stress over every passing car or squirrel.

Thank you, Kylee, for being such a knowledgeable and compassionate trainer for Wrigley! We are so grateful to have found you!“

“My dog Frederick is not a pet, he's a working dog. Needless to say he has lots of energy, and very little manners. His life revolves around his nose, as it should. Big Valley is unique in that it separates dogs into several different play yards, based on breed, age, temperament, and activity needs. Each yard has a professional Pack Leader that stays with the dogs at all times. Frederick can hardly contain his excitement when he figures out that we're heading toward Big Valley. He always ends up in a yard with Aussies, Sheppards, Pinchers, Rotties, Heelers, etc. If your dog is chill, they'll end up in a yard full of Creams, Goldens, Poodles, and King Charles's. If you're PD, DOD, TSA, BS, Sheriff, or anything in-between, this is where you want to board.“

“Yogi was treated to a full-size chocolate muffin before he was helped to cross the Rainbow Bridge!! The people there truly care about their patients and family. I would recommend Edmonds-Westgate to family and friends.“

“The CGC class at Ahimsa was absolutely fantastic! The curriculum was very systematic and well-organized. I learned a great deal as a handler, and I can clearly see how much my Golden Retriever, Bori, has grown and improved. I especially want to express my huge thanks to instructors Amber and Katie. They were incredibly professional, kind, and supportive throughout the entire course. Highly recommended!“

“Debbie is the best! She takes amazing care of our dog. She provides such a loving and safe atmosphere for all the dogs. We do not worry about our dog at all when he is with Debbie. She has a very fun instagram account so you can see your pup on a regular basis when you are out of town. It’s an understatement to say that I highly recommend her.“

“I took my large dog for the 2.5 years I lived in Seattle. I loved it because he loved it. Drew and the previous manager are absolutely wonderful. When I showed up to pick him up, he was usually asleep in one of the corners or cots.

Our favorite things about DDO were that there was a cap to the number of dogs per day (meaning the person there had control of the place and could tell if something was off with the dogs), that they could come in and out (for my dog this was extra special because he is a live stock guardian breed and likes to lay and observe), and that the backyard had wood chips (the dogs didn’t get muddy and they didn’t have to be on concrete or turf that usually made my dog smell extra icky). For all of those reasons I drove 40 minutes each way to keep him there after we moved from a closer area.

Now we’ve moved away from Seattle but my dog and I REALLY MISS DDO and his dog besties.

We hope y’all take a chance on taking your pups there. This place is magical!“

“We've only brought our dog here a couple of times so far, and in that short about of time we have been blown away by the daycare services! Our border collie mix usually mellows out after a few hours of activity, but he's always tired when we pick him up, which is quite a feat. The staff is incredibly kind, and always let us know that they love our dog. This kind of feedback grants me a lot of peace, as other daycares have just thrown him in a pen with other dogs all day, while here employees actually interact with the dogs. Thanks for being so awesome!“

“I highly recommend this veterinary clinic. We have been coming here for nearly 20 years, and the care is top notch.“

“Couldn't love this class or Robin the trainer more! Our adopted girl is learning so much. It's very clear how much Robin loves dogs and the incredible expertise/experience she has with them. And so affordable compared to other obedience classes! Highly recommend.“

“So far, I absolutely love this place. I'd previously used lazy dog crazy dog- and was extremely hesitant to put him in another daycare - but with their 24/7 webcam I can check in on him at any time to make sure he's safe. Plus I get to see him romp around with his new buddies, learn about how he handles new people and dogs, and its a nice little boost to see a bunch of dogs playing when I'm at work. They're also very good about giving them rest breaks- which is important for my little smush face guy- who has no sense of his own limits when it comes to playtime.

I scheduled an ear clean for $15 and they did SUCH an incredible job. I have no clue how they managed to get them so clean- he's so dramatic when I try to do it at home that hes gotten a few infections.

All in all- love this place and so does he. When he sees me grab his little snap on collar he has to wear there he quite literally jumps for joy and I get to come home to happy, sleepy dog ?“

“Knowledgeable, caring, and professional. The vets here are the best of the best, and I feel lucky to have found this clinic. They are quick to respond to any concerns with my dogs' health and their diagnose and treatments have always been spot on. Highly recommend!“

“Dr. Schneider and the team at Family Pet Vet is amazing. My buddy was having some health issues, notably low appetite. The Dr. performed an extensive review, provided a detailed differential diagnosis and explained a program of care and next steps.

It can't be overstated what a difference this is from my prior vet. My buddy is showing remarkable improvement from this morning. Thank you!“
