Pet Boarding Training near Concord

“Brad Wilhelm is amazing! He takes the time to go over training techniques and explains everything with meaningful reasoning. I highly recommend Wilhelm K9 training!!!“

“Diablo Dog has been a gift for my Covid golden retriever pup Koa, who is now five years old. Koa was able to go on amazing group hikes and be socialized with other dogs. It is such a convenience to have him dropped off and picked up from our home. For the last few years we have been lucky enough to have Koa boarded with Matt (the owner) who Koa loves! Koa is always so well taken care of and happy. Koa has also been trained by the amazing Anthony! He has attended the Dog Day Academy Days. We have gotten so many compliments since then about how much calmer and well-behaved he is on a leash. There has been less barking too! Anthony is so positive and kind with Koa. I have also used the scheduled and last minute potty breaks when Koa has needed to be let out. Diablo Dog is always so caring to accommodate me with whatever Koa needs. They are truly the best!!!“

“Joshua Beckler is the real deal. He knows his stuff and really specializes in working breeds like German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, like I have. He is easy to understand and is dedicated to helping you communicate better with your dog and bring out the very best your dog can be.

I cannot wait to see what he can help me do with our new Mal, Riggs.“

“My husband and I adopted Maverick from the Contra Costa Animal Shelter in April 2024 and were struggling with training and socialization. I found Dog Over Breed driving by as my work is 2 blocks away. I met with the owners Mo & Vic and was immediately excited to enroll Maverick in their Doggy Day Care! With the constant care, training & guidance, Maverick has become a totally different dog.......... Thank you to everyone at Dog Over Breed! You are a true blessing! We will recommend you to all of our doggy friends!“

“We did the one on one private training package with Anthony for our 16 weeks old doberman. He utilized straight forward technic and very patient with us. Not only our dog has improved her obedience skills significantly, we as dog owners, also have gained so much knowledge from the training sections, which will benefit us for the lifetime! Thank you Anthony at PowerHouseK9. Highly recommended!“

“Donnelly is a fantastic dog trainer, and the team at Flexible Pet Solutions have been a lifesaver. We have worked with her 1-on-1, have regularly attended the drop-in puppy socialization classes, and also enrolled in one of her specialized (trick training) courses. She does a really good job building a community among the dogs (and their humans) that work with her and we plan to stay in her circle throughout our dog's various life phases.“

“Mona and her team of walkers have been wonderful. I tried for two years to get my dog to walk on leash without pulling. After walking with professionals for a few months we we a huge difference in her. Her reactivity to other dogs while on leash has also improved.“

“Muir Oaks has been the best vet we have gone to. This is saying a lot because we have moved often and gone to at least 7 different vets in the last 6 years. They are great fantastic for veterinary care and they are amazing for boarding. My dog was extremely aggressive to most people and dogs, but here she was able to connect with the staff and feel more comfortable. They also comforted us when we unfortunately had to put her down. They gave us the kindness we needed and treated us like we really lost a family member, which we did. If I still lived in the area, I would be a lifelong client.“

“This review is for the puppy 1 and puppy 2 classes at Walnut Creek pet food express taught by Keri. We signed up our shepherd mix puppy for Puppy 1 class and we were very impressed by the teaching tactics and results that we got for our dog. Keri was friendly and very knowledgeable and was a great trainer for both my husband and I as well as our puppy. We signed up for the second class level soon after completing the first. Our dog just graduated puppy 2 and I wanted to write a glowing review for both Keri and the pet food express staff. I highly recommend spending the money to making your dog better for life!“

“Thankyou for taking such good care of Marley for the week and enjoyed the daily updates on her obedience training. She has improved heaps. Highly recommend to anyone wanting boarding and obedience training.“

“This was my first time using a mobile groomer and I cannot believe I hadn't used one sooner. His last groomer asked that I didn't bring him back as he was a bad boy while he was getting his nails done. I did inform Paul the owner of the company of this when on the phone and he reassured me that it wouldn't be a problem. Paul the owner of the company came out to groom my boy Leopold and I must say I was quite nervous as Leopold doesn't normally warm up to people, men in particular. When I opened the door, you would have thought they had known each other for years. His tail was wagging and Paul knelt down for a bathing of kisses. Paul took the time to go over all my concerns and he took Leo off for his grooming. When they returned Leo's tail was still wagging and he looked great. His coat has never felt so soft and he smelt great. Paul told me he was a joy to groom and he would be more than happy to come back to groom him anytime. I highly recommend On The Spot Pet Grooming and I could tell Paul really enjoys and knowledgeable about dogs. I did also like that he quoted me a price on the phone and there were no hidden add-ons once he came and took care of Leo. I know Leo has found his lifetime groomer.“

“Great job with our pup Tano! He absolutely loved Moran. She did a great job especially because it was our pup's first time to a groomer!“

“Hillary did a wonderful job training my unruly rescue pup. They took the time to really understand his personality and tailored their training so that he could be successful. They met with me almost weekly to train me to be successful with him. He went to them headstrong, hyper, and nippy and and came home as a polite, sweet, loving puppy. I can’t thank Hillary enough for training this puppy and being able to keep him in our family.“

“Dr. Knibb is truly the best. My dog has never been misdiagnosed. Thank you for all that you do, Dr. Knibb.“

“Awesome what more can I say! Staff are friendly and informative. Incredibly patient with pups. Lots of wagging tails and friendly faces! Best little doggie day care and grooming in Walnut Creek. Parking is free. I would recommend this business to a friend!“

“The entire staff was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. They were gentle with my bearded dragon and listened to my concerns. They are great for exotics and will trust them with my dog when I bring him home.“
