Pet Boarding Training in Costa Mesa

“My husband and I have been searching for over a year to find a place to board our 12 year old pup, Katniss. Our girl is a Lab/Boxer mix, great temperament but some physical issues due to being hit by a car before we adopted her. During the pandemic she was not socialized for a while. Since she has some physical issues, she is better with smaller dogs even though she is about 70 pounds. We drove by Bark Collective and decided to stop in. Dan met us and was extremely cordial as we discussed our concerns about our pup. He recommended we bring her in for a half day. One of the things that impressed us was that dogs were not grouped by size temperament. When we went to pick Katniss up, Dan said she did great. She was calm, tail wagging and seemed to really enjoy her morning at Bark. We decided to go away for a few days. We received photos every day of our smiling girl! She was relaxing in the sun (one of her favorite things to do), smiling and comfortable. The daily pictures were such a blessing. Everyone at Bark Collective is kind and it's oblivious that they truly care about our precious pups. Thank you, Dan, Jillian and your amazing staff for taking such good care of our girl. We are looking forward to planning another vacation and bringing Katniss in for day visits.“

“Linda was such a great help with our new puppy Coco! We did both group and private sessions and she really helped guide us in training coco with items such as recall, drop it and socialization. In the beginning, Coco had severe separation anxiety and she gave us tips that really changed his behavior for the better. Linda gave us a solid training foundation and Coco is off to a a great start. Thank you Linda!“

“OC Canine Coaching was an excellent experience for us and our puppy. I've worked with several dog trainers over many years with my own dogs and with fosters as a volunteer with a rescue. Bryndon is the first I've worked with that I would without hesitation continue to work with and refer. He is creative and helped 2 puppy parents with different styles be successful and confident. 20 minutes into our initial consultation I was comfortable committing to working with Bryndon. He is professional, fully engaged, and showed an immediate impact during the consultation. Bryndon's approach with the human and dog is excellent. No aversive techniques. He taught us how to read our puppy's signals and respond.“

“Trace is excellent with pets, very thorough and efficient follows up is a perfect replacement for when you can't be there! Always makes the pets have fun and they always learn something new, Like how to enjoy other puppies in and their life being an animal.“

“We LOVE this place! We just got back from our third doggie swim session and my pups are super happy, enriched, and passed out for well deserved naps. The staff is amazing, my female dog is a very nervous girl and they are fantastic with her.“

“Just left our first vet appointment here. Wow! Marcella and the doctor were beyond amazing. The front desk was so nice. They are so honest about what your baby needs, what the options are and they print out an invoice before you pay so you can discuss. Beyond helpful. So glad we found our new doctor for our Nala. Also, not sure if there are more nurses but definitely ask for Marcella. She was the sweetest and so gentle while giving out 3 shots.“
