Pet Boarding Training near Newbury Park

“Our German Shepherd has been going to Matan over the past 3 years. We’ve trusted them for short and long-term boarding as well as individual obedience training. Without a doubt they are tops in our book. Our dog always looks forward to going and always comes back to us better. Rafael is the latest trainer for Nala and he has really helped get her to the next level. Extremely clean and awesome staff really make Matan the premier place for us!“

“Our 10 month old dog was a neutered on a Friday. Doctor and staff are nice, very caring. My dog is acting like nothing happened!“

“Love this place, my dog always has a good time (I think), and the staff is super friendly. Pretty good prices too.“

“I started bringing my husky mix here when he was 12 weeks to their puppy preschool classes and after going, wish I'd known about them when he was 8 weeks! I desperately needed some help with my hyperactive land shark! He's now moving up to the puppy + classes after turning 16 weeks recently! The whole crew has been monumental in his training and are so patient with him and my inexperience with such a distracted and hyper breed. They've taught us so many things that have made a night and day difference in my now not so little pup. They ask about and address specific concerns and issues we have instead of pushing out a one size fits all style of training. They offer support/advice not just with training but also with crate concerns, treat values, toys/enrichment, and even poop formation (helped me find pumpkin my vet recommended but that he would actually eat)!! The class sizes have always been manageable and the trainers are always understanding of my VERY distracted pup and offer guidance on how to handle that appropriately AND effectively. I am excited to continue with my pups trainings here and try out some of the agility and obedience classes as he progresses!I highly, HIGHLY, recommend them to anyone seeking trainings, play groups and even 1:1 training sessions. The work they do there is paramount to mine and my pups happiness! ? “

“Their is no place like homeAway from home for my doggiesThe staff is amazing one of a kindThank you guysFor taking care and loving our doggiesLucy“

“Simply the best. My pup loves the raw food selection and strolling the isles for new treats.“

“Xaviera was extremely helpful with our 4 month old puppy. She came to our house and showed us what to do about every problem we were having. She is very knowledgeable, professional and thorough. We went from discouraged to encouraged. I learned a lot of techniques and tricks from Xaviera that I didn’t know before. I took her dog training course through Simi Valley Recreation and Parks and it was excellent as well. She stays after class to answer questions. She is easy to understand and follow. I think she would be helpful to anyone whether beginner or advanced. It is obvious she has been doing this for a long time. I highly recommend.“

“So yes, i do miss Golden spoon with their train themes and actual plastic golden spoons. But the woman informed me its the same exact yogurt & they pile it high all the same! Definitely hard to find considering google maps didn't know their name has changed but I will be back for more! their flavors taste so good. Peanut butter and pistachio are a must!“

“Love this place great for letting your dogs play and they have the best dog groomer!!!!!“

“I have been training with Happy Dog for several years. My dog had been going to another instructor prior and was very confused and unhappy. Happy Dog has done just that, made my dog happy! She now runs around the course with a smile on her face. Three years ago I thought we would never be where we are now. I addition to the happy demeanor on the course which was what was most important to me... my dog made it to a national level of competition! What an amazing bonus for my Happy Dog! Thank you Happy Dog!!“

“We took a puppy class with Barb and found it to be a wonderful socializing experience for our young Australian Cattle Dog puppy. Barb's approach consists of completely positive reinforcement which makes it fun for the pup and the owner while building a relationship between dog and owner. The pup will learn many useful obedience commands and build confidence by learning. She is passionate about dog training and has a genuine love of animals and people. She makes the experience fun for all with her positive energy and patience. We have had Barb come to our home for some additional one -on- one training with our puppy which has proved very helpful because Barb could evaluate specific issues we were dealing with and also observe our older dog and pup interact. She was able to provide us with valuable insight into steps we could take to correct certain behaviors. Barb is really fantastic and you and your dog will both be happy with the results.“

“I’ve been coming here for 6 years now. Heathers house of grooming always does a really nice job on my dog!“

“My two dogs are well cared for and safe. normally when I leave my house for a short trip to the store (not being gone more than an hour) and return home my dogs are jumping and excited running circles around me but when I pick them up after being boatded they don't act like that.. They are very calm and not the least bit excited to see me. That lets me know that they are perfectly content staying at the Doggy Den. I would recommend Doggy Den!!“

“I have been coming to CVVH for probably 3 years. My small dog ended up having many issues and had to be brought in and stayed for days for pancreatitis. It ended up to be chronic and all the help and support made it much easier for me to navigate thru to a new normal.Then it came time when my dog was ready to lay her head down for the last time. My feelings over the situation was taken to heart by all Dr Kane and the rest of the staff and I was supported in my decision when to say goodbye.I am excited to start afresh with a familiar medical team to care for my new puppy for years to come.As for prices. I am sure you can find cheaper. But there are places that are astronomically more as well. I find the pricing fair and upfront. I was even charged too much for something and at a future visit I was told I had a credit so my current bill would be less (it happened twice and it was not much … around $9 once and I think $20 the other time … but it was much appreciated)“

“Destiny in grooming took wonderful care of my little Penelope. It was really important to us that Penelope be 100% comfortable with her first grooming experience. I could tell by the way Penelope didn't want to leave Destiny that she was! We will definitely be back!“
