Pet Boarding Training near Nine Mile Falls

“I am so grateful for finding a trusted place for our Australian Shepard sibling pups. Our girl is reactive and the workers have been great to work with us as we get them used to boarding. We had a death in the family and they were able to take them for awhile which gave me anxiety being away from them but updates, and them working out best situation for both dogs ( sometimes together, sometimes separated) was a huge blessing. I feel peace having a trusted place to take our dogs and that is priceless. Thank you Nine mile pet lodge for caring for Chief & Clover ( even when their naughty behaviors come out).“

“My little dog who isn't crazy about most people or dogs does so well at Play N Stay. The staff is careful to make sure she and her play mates get along. She doesn't resist being dropped off and is always happy when I pick her up.“

“Staff there worked a pet in for us, and stayed beyond closing to make sure he was taken care of. It was very serious, and I hate to think of what may have happened without their care.“

“We’ve used diamonds in the ruff a couple of times. Absolutely love them. We used Arielle Dykes for private lessons with our previous dog. He had had a rough start to life and was people reactive. When we recently found ourselves fostering a young adult dog with no training we turned to DITR again. Because of our previous experience we chose a beginning class taught my Arielle and Hayley Jewell. The class provided the perfect framework to allow my wife & I to work with Pecan in a logical order and at a pace that optimized results. Each class allowed us to discuss our recent successes, and trouble shoot any areas where we weren’t making the progress we hoped for. To complement the in-person classes they provided a workbook and many video examples for reference.and reassurance. They also responded to my texts. I highly recommend DITR,“

“Her and her staff accepted my fur baby at a last minute request. The communication was great via text message cause we were out of town. Was very informative on information that I needed for my pup.“

“Cole was kind enough to let us take in a 5 year old female of his named Maya in addition to the pup we bought (we named him Loki). She was an incredible dog and we loved her dearly. She lived to be 12, and I called Cole on the day she passed to let him know. He was kind, empathetic, and didn’t mind my tears despite me being a grown man. If you just want a dog, look elsewhere; but if you want a family member, come to Cole. Maya was, as Cole said, a “once in a lifetime dog” and I don’t know if we deserved her—but we loved her as if we did deserve her. Loki is now 7 years old, and is also an incredible dog—the best male I have ever owned. I, my wife, and my sons miss Maya terribly. No other dog can replace her. If you are committed to your family and see a dog as a family, come to Cole and he will treat you as family and set you up with the most irreplaceable dog you have ever met. I moved away to Central Texas, and I would drive 2000 miles back to Cole if I was to get another pup.“

“My dog, Flynn, struggled with appropriately greeting and interacting with other dogs. After a 6 week board and train with Matt, Flynn is a gentleman who is now able to play with other dogs and is able to express his boundaries in a more appropriate way. When I visited Flynn two weeks into the board and train it was clear to me that I had absolutely no reason to worry. Flynn was so comfortable with Matt and was having the time of his life on “vacation”. The entire experience was amazing, Matt kept me in the loop like I was right there with Flynn. At the go home lesson we didn’t miss a beat, Matt explained everything in a way that I could understand and is willing to continue working with Flynn and I on going. Matt has a way with the dogs, he treats them with respect and kindness and it shines through the relationship he creates with the dogs! I cannot thank Matt enough for helping Flynn and I have the best possible relationship!“
