Pet Boarding Training near Annandale

“Our family loves The Puppy Patch! Especially our ridiculously high energy foxhound. NOTHING tuckers him out like a play date with all of his friends there. The staff is wonderful and helpful. They always greet my dog so sweetly and he is always excited to go! When we had an issue with a minor injury (because dogs be dogs) they handled it very professionally and appropriately. I’d highly recommend to anyone who has a dog who is good with other dogs and wants to add enrichment to their routines!“

“Brief history- I had purchased a protection dog in 2022 from a trainer in North Carolina. I had been assured through many phone conversations with the owner and staff of the North Carolina training facility that it was reputable and would provide me with a safe, well trained protection dog for my farm. Part of the contract was that I would pay the trainer of the dog to travel to the farm to oversee the transition. The dog was delivered in 2023. The trainer's time in introducing me to the dog and the other dogs at the farm equaled about 4 and 1/2 hours (that included a demonstration of bite work) before he said he had to leave to catch a plane . After in initial 6 weeks the dog of being totally on a leash, I realized that the dog I had received was very weak in basic obedience and over time the dog proved very reactive to specific situations in my farm environment. I was also informed during one of my phone conversations when asking for help from the trainer in North Carolina, that I was expected as a dog handler to be proficient with use of the E-Collar for both training and correction; however, the use of an e-collar was never mentioned either in the phone conversations or on the contract I signed. I made numerous phone calls to the purchase site without resolution. One phone conversation when asking for help, I was told to "fry" the dog to stop the unwanted behavior! Needless to say, I was very anxious and distressed!I am ever so thankful to Andres that when I called him and briefly explained my situation he told me immediately "bring the dog over to ProCanine!" His thorough assessment of my dog gave me immediate peace of mind that I had found the right person.The skills of both he and his staff over the following 7 months proved successful to redirect and train my dog to be both safe on and off the farm, maintaining his protection instincts, but with good control.I would highly recommend ProCanine to anyone either looking for a high quality dog or seeking training for the dog they have.I was also able to purchase from ProCanine an amazing companion German Shepherd with excellent training and sweet temperment after the passing of my 13 yr old female German Shepherd, Annie, due to cancer.I BIG THANK YOU to ALL. Could not thank you enough!“
