Pet Boarding Training in Columbia

“A long term customer for over a decade, wouldn't consider going anywhere else due to Dr Parrish and Hickory Ridge staff's exceptional knowledge and care for our furry family“

“My border collie, Mia, has been going to Wagging Lounge Resort since she was first vaccinated as a puppy. Now four years old, she still loves it as much as ever, both the people and the dogs. The team there captures amazing photos and fun music videos, giving us a glimpse of how much our fur babies are enjoying themselves. I would easily rate this place a 10! I never have to worry about Mia when she's there. She's also been boarded at Wagging Lounge, and because she's so familiar with it, she treats it like her second home. Thank you, Wagging Lounge!“

“We love PUPS Dog Obedience Training. We have a high-drive, working Labrador retriever named Mason who has gone through the puppy course, 8-week obedience course, rally courses, and competitive obedience training with Karen and Kristin. They have always been there for us every step of the way through success at his first trial, and the many challenges that come with training a dominant, high-drive dog. I daresay that Mason would be a VERY different dog if not for our training with PUPS (and not in a good way).

For the last few years, we have also boarded Mason with PUPS when we are away. As stated previously, Mason is a high-drive, dominant dog. Karen and Kristin are about the only people we trust to keep Mason safe, stimulated, and healthy when we are out of town. PUPS boarding is unique in that they do not let dogs run/play together in a big room, unlike many other kennels in the area. Kristin provides many long walks for the dogs that are staying, plays with them individually, and they even have a dog treadmill used for some dogs if it is too hot to exercise/walk outside. PUPS also communicates very well throughout your dog's stay and administers any sort of medication your dog needs. Kristin has even taken our dog to the vet in the past in an emergency situation.

Mason is 11 years old, and we will continue to lean on PUPS as long as we have training/boarding needs. When the time comes (hopefully not too soon), we'll use PUPS for any future dogs we have as well. Karen and Kristin are truly the best! I cannot recommend or review them highly enough.“

“The first of eight classes was on Zoom. The second was in person. It was very well organized. Group classes are the best. We can’t wait for our next class after Labor Day.“

“I'm preparing to put my house on the market, and they responded quickly with the form I needed to give my realtor.“
