Pet Boarding Training near Alameda

“Great service for an emergency visit for our cat. Friendly staff, caring and competent vet., and able to get her routine shot (scheduled for a couple of days later) done all at the same visit.
Thank you!“

“Les has been an incredible trainer and friend through my first year with my new puppy! She is patient, thoughtful, and explains the 'why' behind her suggestions. We have learned how to walk well on leash, listen to sit/stay/down commands, and build a strong bond. Thank you so much Les!“

“Great place for boarding your dog. It’s not in the best of neighborhoods but the staff does a great job! My dog seems to be well when I pick her up. They’ve shared short videos o fb the stay and she always looks to be well.“

“Doggy Lama and their staff are *the best* and Emily in particular has been a lifesaver. We have an elderly cat with health issues, and she recently became ill while we were out of the country. Emily got her to an urgent vet appointment, picked up meds, administered them twice a day, and scheduled extra visits to make sure she was recovering -- it could have been a nightmare but Emily made it totally manageable and reassured us with texts and (beautiful!) photos throughout the process. She truly cares for our cat, and we know when we're away she's in excellent hands. We've been using Doggy Lama for three years and have had nothing but lovely experiences.“

“Shae is truly a miracle worker and the most knowledgeable dog trainer!I recently adopted a dog through a rescue. I wanted to set myself up for success, and I sought Shae’s services right away. Within the first few minutes of meeting our dog, Shae immediately had a good assessment of our dog’s personality and had her complete attention. Shae gave us so many helpful tips to improve the relationship and training of our dog. It’s only been 3 months with our new dog, and every week we’ve seen such a huge improvement in her behavior, and it’s all thanks to Shae.It’s so clear that Shae loves dogs and is passionate about training them. Don’t wait one second and book a session with Shae. Your life and relationship with your dog will change for the better!“

“Love taking Rally classes here. Great for my pup to use her mind, and really nice way to boost our human-dog relationship“

“Terry and staff are exceptional dog caregivers. Highly recommend Dog Balancing for boarding your fur babies.“

“I highly recommend Mod Cat Hotel for boarding your Cat. My fur baby Coco has never been away from home for my trips but this particular trip was too long to have her home alone--10 days. Kathleen was prompt in her responses and took the best care of my baby. Kathleen sent me pictures throughout Coco's stay and kept me up to date on her eating pattern. I would definitely be placing by baby there again on my next extended trip. Look no further. Thank you Kathleen!“

“Currently taking classes at K9 Sniffers in San Leandro. Steve B (the trainer) is great, and more importantly patient with my sometimes overly active dog.The class has helped my dog become calmer and less anxious. Dogs really enjoy this activity which requires the use of their bodies and there minds. Any breed of dog can participate. Awesome class.“

“This place rocks! My dog has been receiving day care services for 4 years and I couldn’t be happier. The staff is attentive and loving. My dog has many dog and human friends, who he loves to see. I’m grateful I can leave my dog in the hands of people I trust.“

“Great daycare facility for dogs. My dog Ollie loves going to The Barkmont. The staff are great. They are friendly and truly love dogs. I am only comfortable leaving him with The Barkmont family when I need to have daycare for Ollie. Cannot recommend this facility enough. 10 stars - if that was an option.“

“We love Metro Dog! Everyone knows our dog Coltrane by name and greets him like an old friend. He absolutely loves his supervised park trips—he always comes home happy, well-exercised, and energized in the best way.

The team does an amazing job making our pup feel welcome and at ease. Coltrane adores Keyon and the entire staff—they’ve truly become his second family. When we come to pick him up at the end of the day, he insists on saying goodbye with big kisses and joyful tail wags. We’re so grateful to have a place where he feels safe, social, and so loved. Metro Dog is the best!“

“My dogs absolutely love going here for both day care and boarding. So happy we found this spot.“

“After training 4 dogs with Mike of the course of 18 years I can confidently say Mike is the best! If you want to be able to take your dog anywhere and everywhere and get compliments on how well behaved they are, Mike is your guy. We drove from the mid-peninsula to SF every Sunday morning for many weeks and would do it again in a heartbeat.“

“We came here for the annual vaccination shots. Staff was super friendly and accommodating to my big dog, would highly recommend this place to others.“

“Cheap Shots is great! The staff is great! We used to have to bring our Pitbull Lucy all the way to a vet in Oakland to get her nails trimmed. (We live in Fremont.) This Oakland vet used to give her a shot to sedate her before he cut her nails. At Cheap Shots, they are able to trim her nails without any sedation!! Good people!!! We appreciate Cheap Shots being there for the community.??“

“Courtney is amazingly knowledgeable and thoughtful in her teaching. She is also SO patient (we have a pug puppy and he requires a lot of patience imo). The directions she gave were so useful for everyday life with our little guy. She asked questions I would never have thought of that helped our guy to have a happy puppy life with a good foundation for being a good boy in adulthood. Highly recommend and am so thankful we got to work with Courtney.“

“Good customer service. Actually I was running late and still got seen and got our on a timely matter. And it was full of patience. I recommend any pet lover.“
