Pet Boarding Training near Lakeside

“Chris is awesome, tremendous patient, and caring. First thing Lacey learned after a group class was DROP. I have used this and she hits the deck. She is also trained for boundaries (not to cross thresholds w/o permission. Chris is a wonder. I live in Santee but manage a building in south county. A couple with 2 lab pit cross were having issues with their rescue pups. Viola Chris to the rescue. The pups are like night and day since first session thanks Chris for all you do. I don’t travel out of town for work anymore is kept up daily now. Thanks Chris from Lacey dog and Kim.“

“This review is long overdue! We did the 3-week day train program with Strategic K9 earlier this year, and the difference in our dog's behavior is truly night and day. From the very beginning, communication and scheduling with Michelle and the team was easy and stress-free.

Kevin did such a great job training our dog, he really tailored the program to fit her bubbly personality and brought out the best in her. Not only did he teach her, he gave us helpful tips and tricks to keep things going once she came home.

We also boarded our dog with them during our honeymoon, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands.

We can't thank Kevin and Michelle enough for everything they've done, we are so grateful! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, effective, and personalized training.“

“I had started to lose faith that I’d be able to keep my German Shepherd mix, Walnut, due to her intense reactivity and territorial behavior. She was resource guarding, had poor recall, and was incredibly stubborn. I was overwhelmed and didn’t know what else to do.

Devotion to Dogs was recommended to me, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made for my girl. Walnut completed their two-week board and train program and came back a new dog, in the best way. No more lunging at strangers or other dogs. She plays nicely at the park and dog beach again, just like when she was younger before the reactivity set in. She can even relax in a coffee shop with me on a Sunday afternoon while I read, and I can trust her to stay calm and settled.

The training is just as much for the humans as it is for the dogs. I didn’t know how to set boundaries or communicate clear expectations before. The trainers worked with me 1:1 to make sure I knew exactly how to maintain everything Walnut learned once she came home.

Huge shoutout to Ben, Joshua, and Martina for their patience, consistency, and genuine care for every dog that walks through their doors. Walnut and I will be forever grateful. The weekly free socialization classes are such a gift and help us keep everything fresh.

Thank you Devotion to Dogs! You gave me my dog back. ❤️“

“Whether you make a phone call or walk through the front door it's immediately evident that everyone at RSCPC is there to help your furry friend. The staff at the front desk, the doctors, the techs and everyone behind the scenes truly work to give my dogs the best care. They take the time to explain everything I need to know about procedures and medications - and they make a point of getting to know my dogs' specific personalities and needs. Thank you Rancho San Carlos Pet Clinic!“

“David is great. His methods work wonders. His techniques even worked with a Siberian Husky, a bred many say is untrainable. Definitely recommend. He is an excellent trainer. At the end you will enjoy a perfect dog.“

“Boarding my kitty was very easy and gave me peace of mind. At drop off we were greeted with enthusiasm and the facility was very clean and well kept. We were sent pictures of our kitty too! Would definitely use PURRology's boarding services again.“

“Great vet techs and veterinarian! I felt like I was listened too and my dog received the care she needed. Special thanks to Dr. Carrie Roberts. My girl was a bit anxious later on into the visit and they did great comforting her and getting bloodwork done in the room.“

“Wow, let me tell you, the Petco in Poway is absolutely incredible! I mean, seriously, they never disappoint. Even though they're always super busy, they still managed to squeeze in a walk-in grooming for me. I trust them completely with my precious fur babies, Paris and Carter, and they always go above and beyond to make sure they're well taken care of. I just want to say a big thank you to the entire team for doing such an amazing job!“

“Amazing service and great prices. My dogs had a blast here. This dog daycare and boarding facility is nice and spacious with great outdoor and indoor areas. Pickup and dropoff was great and so was scheduling on the phone or online.“

“I’ve been taking my dog here for the past couple of years and the staff is so respectful and helpful regarding me and my dog, I feel comfortable when I’m there cause they just take care of my baby every single time :)“

“Dr. Deep and his staff are the best! I have good health insurance but my cat gets better medical care than I do. My Dr has never squeezed me in for an appointment when I'm really sick or called just to see how I'm doing afterwards.“

“The La mesa VETCO care team are wonderful. They are compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and very welcoming.“
