Pet Boarding Training near Springfield

“We loved our time with Julia at B the Leader! Our 7 month old mixed adopted pup has already learned so much after implementing her strategies for 5 days!

Our main concern was her coming to her name on our property and listening through distractions like encountering wildlife and our poultry. She has yet to chase our chickens since the training, and comes to her name. I am so impressed at how easy it is to practice at home and how Julia took the time to get to know our pup and teach us how to teach her.“

“Hands down the best dog daycare/sitter around. I've used Virginia and Pampered Pooch for over a decade now - and even now that I live in Portland still bring the pups down to stay with her for almost all of my work travel.The level of care and attention afforded to pups here is second to none and there is no one I'd trust more with my fur kids.“

“Beyond pleased working with Jennifer A. She took such incredible care of our three Guinea pigs. I have very high standards when it comes to cage cleanliness and when I got back from a week long vacation, their cage was in better shape than when I’m the one cleaning it. She took exceptional note of all the little details, and on top of everything - when my flight was delayed, she confirmed that she could be there for them an extra day not 10 minutes after I messaged. I will absolutely be using muddy paws, and hopefully specifically Jennifer, for all my pet sitting needs in the future. Their app is seamless as was communication, and I got detailed updates and pictures every visit. 6/5 stars!“

“I adopted Frankie when she was 6 months old. She had been adopted by another family and things did not go as planned. After several different training classes, we found Chrissy.Chrissy came to meet Frankie, and with her help, we identified some key core competencies that Frankie was missing.Frankie went through the board and train program with Chrissy. Chrissy was clear about how to make the program work for Frankie and me. She was thorough, professional and clear about what to expect with this initial board and train period.Fast forward to picking Frankie up and bringing her home. Frankie's re-entry into the home has been remarkable. Chrissy taught me an effective way to communicate with Frankie calmly and yet firmly. Frankie seems much more confident knowing what is expected of her and knowing which behaviors will not be tolerated. Chrissy taught me techniques and commands I can use so that both Frankie and I can have a mutually enjoyable life together.What felt like hopelessness now feels like peace! I am confident that moving forward Frankie and I will continue to work on training to insure we both have the best owner/pet relationship possible.I highly recommend Chrissy to help you with your training. Your dog will thank you. Thanks Chrissy!“
