“My very rambunctious mini Aussie has now completed three sessions of dog training with Julie. My girl thoroughly enjoyed each lesson and has learned so much from the positive reinforcement model used. We will be enrolling in another session soon.<br>Chris A.“
“A fantastic dog sitter with all the amenities.Whether you're looking for someone to keep an eye on your dog for a few hours or someone to keep care of your sweetest little mutt overnight, The Woof-Tastic playhouse is the right choice.You can even sign up to give your little puppy a treat in the middle of the day.The staff is always friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have.“
“Our Lab Jasimine just finished Puppy Kinder Garten and the results were above and beyond any expectations. Would recommend that any new puppy go to A Dogs best friend. Was a nice certificate of her graduation laying on the counter when we arrived. That was a bit disappointing as it would have been nice to have the training team there to present the document and then we could have thanked them for their time in bringing some peace to us from our wild young lady. Semper Fidelis“
“Super glad I chose this service, Michelle makes it easy to communicate with her through text or through phone calls. Her home is warm and inviting and you can instantly see her passion and love for parrots! She surprised us with preparing chop to my parrotlet!! Ripley came back to us as we left her. I think she loved the socialization of being around other birds and apparently she even warmed up to Michelle after a few days. If you can win over a parrotlet, you’re a true “bird whisperer” ? Thanks so much!!“
“Helped us make the training of our puppy as easy as possible! I'm truly happy they were there to help us!“
“Without a doubt, the vets, techs and staff at Riverview are the finest veterinary staff I’ve come across in a long lifetime of owning pets. They’re also really kind people! I lucked into finding this practice when I moved up to Vancouver during the Pandemic. The location is convenient and the facility is large, clean and bright. But, truly, it’s the people who keep us coming back. I have had four dogs and three cats as patients of Dr Scott and Dr Lisa. Since we started coming to this vet, my grown children have started bringing in the furry grandbabies as well. We’ve converted neighbors and friends as well who are also amazed by the top-notch care. My animals are so well cared for and every time we come in or call, the entire staff greets us like old friends. I know my animals are cared for and respected. I really appreciate the common sense approach to veterinary medicine mixed with the latest data and treatments. My eldest dog passed away somewhat unexpectedly from a stroke at home a few weeks ago. The entire staff at Riverview has been enormously empathetic and they’ve gone out of their way to ease my grief. It means the world to me that these people take the loss of a much beloved pet so seriously. I will continue to sing high praises of Riverview Animal Hospital to anyone listening!“
“Our princess Romy is almost 3 years old, and has been a regular at Barkzone Montavilla for the past 2 years. She is all tail wags when we drop her off at BZ. The team always welcomes her with love and care and it’s clear my girl loves to be there. At pickup, we enjoy hearing about the new friends made that day. It’s incredibly reassuring to know that we have a place to take our baby girl and know that she will be in such great hands. We highly recommend Barkzone Montavilla to anyone looking for a top notch doggie day care!“
“I had puppy fever one day and bought a GSD pup from someone in the classifieds. Needless to say that was a huge mistake and my puppy had all sorts of behavior problems. I was going to try and just youtube my way through training but as he got bigger I got worried and reached out for some training.I reached out to 3 different trainers that I found from a google search. All three told me they suggested a 2 week board and train for 2000$ and promised my pup would be fixed.First of all I wasn't looking to just hand off my pup to some stranger to "fix" all his problems. Paul only suggested board and train when we had exhausted other avenues and my pup was still having negative behavior. eventually I did do a two week board and train with Paul and my pup came back with his manners! I was super impressed.Next Paul doesn't guarantee his training is going to "fix" the problem, and this makes so much sense because you cannot predict how the animal is going to learn and what other issues maybe going on. You also can't predict if puppy parents are going to go home and do their homework. I respected the honesty from him on that.Paul has been training and taking care of dogs for 20 plus years! He is knowledgeable, has a huge heart for animals, and is a no BS kind of guy. If you need dog training come see this guy!“
“We LOVE Chris! Our pup REFUSED to be trained until we brought her to him! He has done magic with her! She is so well behaved and is a total new dog! We couldn’t ask for a better trainer! Sweetpea LOVES her trainer aswell! EVERYTIME we drive by she gets all excited thinking we are dropping her off! When we do drop her off she goes right in all excited to see all her friends including Chris! We are so unbelievably greatful for university K9! Our pup used to run right up to dogs (to say hi) but we couldnt get her to stop. After leaving her with Chris for a few weeks we now can comfortably go on walks off leash and know she won’t leave our side unless we say so! She’s doing so great! We are so so proud!!!HUGE thank you to University K9 for everything they have tough her!!!!❤️❤️“

“Absolutely amazing people. My older dog has become more of a homebody as she ages. During her last stay, she had a really rough time and needed a lot of special care. I couldn’t get an earlier flight home to get her, so they did the best they could to make her feel loved. They kept me updated, kept her close at the reception/office, and tried to find ways to get her to eat and exercise. Our other dog is only 3 and is a doodle with tons of spare energy and very little impulse control when she’s excited. She always gets excited when we pull into the parking lot… she loves the staff and tries to jump over the dog gate to get into the facility when we drop her off. They take her energy in stride and she’s always happy when we pick her up.Best place we have found to keep our dogs. I trust them to do what’s best for the dogs and to keep the hoomans updated throughout the stay.“

“Leanne helped train our very stubborn rescued hound dog, Pike. Would recommend for anyone dealing with stubborn dogs. He is a great case for Leanne’s dog training skills.Pike is very well behaved, listens to commands, and is making amazing progress with reactivity.“
“we were happy to have this location open up by our home. i got a puppy end of last year and took him in recently to have his nails done. i believe kylie ? took care of that and did a great job! she was very quick and good with my puppy : ) then more recently he came in for a full bath by devynn who did an amazing job. even though my dog is a bit wiggly and hyper she seemed to handle him well and was able to get him done quickly. i could tell he was happy and not bothered at all after the visit. afterwards we mentioned looking for good food and she showed us a few options and educated us using her nutrition background. thank you devynn we'll definitely be bringing puppy ash and his new sister back : )<br><br>as for the rest of the store its always nicely stocked, clean and friendly staff, it's a bit smaller than the petsmart or petco further down the road but i kind of like that it makes it easier for us to get what we need and get out !“
“Countryside always takes great care of our dog. We bring him for boarding and grooming services and have always had great experiences.“
