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).“

“I arrived a couple of weeks ago from California. Keeping busy trying to move my sister in law back to California. Play N Stay has been an awesome experience for my 2 yr old dog Hazel. A bonus was being able to drop her off when we needed space to move stuff in and out of the yard without having to worry about my fur baby getting out. She has poor recall and that was becoming a pain trying to track her down while we were moving. The staff members are great and are very cautious with new dogs arriving at their facility. They took their time observing my dog and seeing how she handled other dogs. Plan on returning to visit my in laws and Play N Stay will be a destination for my dog to socialize and play with other dogs in a safe environment.“

“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.“

“I am a first time dog owner and adopted a cute mutt who ended up being a crazy, smart, high-energy, german shepherd/ husky/ border collie (adorable, but yikes!). We came here and learned so much together! We can go on walks, hikes, and to stores and outdoor patios together all thanks to the wonderful teachers here.“

“Vanessa is so sweet and did a fantastic job with our older English Springer Spaniel that had a very fine and thick coat with lots of curl to it. She is very patient with the dogs as our old lady is quite difficult to trim her paws and they look great! Her rates are significantly more affordable than anywhere else in town.
I will be back again. Couldn't reccomend more.“

“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!“
