“So many good things to say about this daycare! From the trained, experienced and caring behaviorists to the cleaning protocols, this is the best place I've ever experienced in over 25 years of dog parenting. I know my dog kiddos are safe and well cared for. Their instagram page clearly shows how they see each of their dog clients as individuals and always strive to do what's best for each and have tons of fun along the way. Additionally, I have had both of my 2-year old female labradoodle/GSD mixed breed dogs (they're littermates) in training for the last several months so I must do a special shout out to the in-house trainer, Nakita Johnson. Nakita zeroed in on my girls' individual talents, strengths, and training needs and designed training for each of them that has surpassed my expectations. She provides detailed instruction and feedback and happily answers ALL my questions. My dogs have gained obedience as well as fun 'tricks' but what really stands out to me is how calm and confident they are. Doggone Fun! really is their second home now.“
“My wife and I were feeling hopeless when it came to boarding our mini Goldendoodle. It was difficult to find a good location, fair pricing and someone trustworthy to take care of our pup when we were out of town. Finally we came across Holly’s website and were immediately intrigued. We reached out and Holly was so responsive and caring. We got a meet and greet scheduled right away and it went amazing. Holly and her family are so welcoming and easy to communicate with. It has been such a relief to have found Holly and now we always know we have a reliable plan for where our dog will stay when we need help with her. Our favorite part is the daily photo updates we get from Holly when she is watching our dog ♥️ thank you, Holly!“
“Awesome, easy to follow instructors who give lots of helpful reading material. This is one of the only places I could find offering owner-included training classes, and it's already made such a difference for my dog and me!“
“The team here really love dogs. Working with them was such a great experience. We have a huge 80-lb lab mix and they have helped him become a working dog--a great support for our son. There is work involved for the owners, and the trainers help you every step of the way. If you put the work in, you will be rewarded with a wonderfully behaved dog. I now understand why people make this investment. And with Sit Means Sit, you get lifelong support and group trainings. It's totally worth it. I had reservations at the beginning, but I am so glad I went through with it. Our dog is no longer pulling on the leash, jumping on people and counters. It's been a great experience.“
“The employees care deeply about my dogs. They were quick and efficient even during a rush when I came to pick up my dogs. I appreciate them managing my dogs and will definitely be bringing them again.“
“We LOVE Club K9 in Tigard! Milo goes to doggy daycare there almost every day.
They treat my boy like family. He gets individual attention and I know he feels loved.
Everyone who works at Club K9 is friendly and professional.
You won’t have any worries if you put your companion in their care.“
“Mark gave us some great training and techniques to discourage our golden retriever puppy from biting and nipping. She was overconfident and bratty, and clearly loved the taste of human flesh. Three days later, little Ruby (a.k.a. Rampage) is a different dog. Now she is a sweetheart most of the time. When she does start to throw a tantrum, she listens to the command and dials down quickly. Thanks, Mark! We love not bleeding.“
“Betsy and Amelia with Bowser’s Best Buddy are a cut above the rest. I see how much genuine love and care they show my pup, while offering positive and consistent training. My dog Otis attends their day program and has truly blossomed, from an excitable 1 year old adolescent to a well rounded, friendly, obedient member of their pack. Betsy has offered such valuable recommendations on how I could continue the training approach at home to keep advancing his knowledge. I found Betsy as I looked for a day program that wasn’t a larger scale “daycare” space. Betsy did a careful screening to make sure Otis would fit well with the other dogs and slowly folded Otis into the mix. Now that Otis is a “regular,” it gives me peace of mind that any newcomers to the program will be similarly vetted and introduced. A year into attending the day program, Otis is thriving and I am so grateful for the Bowser’s team (Finn, the elder pup, included!)“
“Om Dog Club took great care of my dog during my last trip. They were very responsive and sent lots of updates and photos. Additionally, Whitney did a great job training my dog during a two week board and train!“
“We love Ruff House so so much, because our pup loves Ruff House so much! She literally runs to the door when we arrive. She has learned the word “daycare,” which we’ve learned not to say until a few minutes before we leave to head over, because she gets too excited. The staff are incredible, everything is clean and organized, there’s a great, fenced (turf) outdoor space with a hose for the hot summer days, they work on a trick of the month, and they clip our pup’s nails with ease (not easy—I’ve tried). Not to mention!!! They make cards for your doggos birthday! Complete with all their friends’ paw prints. We can’t say enough wonderful things about this place. ?“
“TL;DR Dr. Beswick is super caring, takes his time, the entire atmosphere is calming and comfortable, it's clean.
First time visiting this clinic with my new kitty Tanner, based on the reviews and the number of positive reviews. This is the best vet clinic I've ever been to. Dr Beswick listened to the questions I had and answered all of them.
From the front desk staff, vet techs, and doctor, everyone was so chill, definitely all the Portland vibes, and kitty was comfortable.
Thanks again for the great first visit and I will definitely be back.“
“Finding Wes at Canine Class Room was such a relief in our dog training journey. His methods were easy to understand and implement, and we saw immediate results with just 20 minutes of daily practice. It felt almost too simple given the significant improvement in our dog's behavior. He and his Dad have been in the industry for years, so they have the real world experience to know what works well and what to avoid. If you're looking for a dog trainer who can truly make a difference, Wes is your guy.“
“Happy Go Lucky has been instrumental in helping us train and engage with our young, high energy dog. The trainers are very experienced and helped our dog learn impulse control, leash manners and more confidence in social play. We highly recommend Happy Go Lucky for anyone who needs training assistance!“
“I could not be happier with Safe And Hound . Not only are the staff attentive and kind but they absolutely love my little girl and she loves going to school. If you are looking for a great doggy daycare, this is the spot!!! The excitement she gets when we turn, the corner, tells me everything I need to know.“
“Nicole Flowers is an excellent dog trainer. I highly recommend her services for any type of issue you and your dog are facing. I am with a Weimaraner rescue organization and we have hired Nicole to help us help dogs in foster and adoptive homes, and even to help dog owners who were considering surrendering their dogs to us when what they needed was a good trainer to help them. Common issues we hire Nicole for are leash reactivity, dog aggression, over protective with human, and obsessive/compulsive behavior (with people and food).Nicole's strengths are:* Experience - she has seen it all and been involved in animal training for many years.* Creative solutions - she does not presume to have the immediate solution; she spends time with the dog to understand the issue and then considers what will most likely work and modifies the training as she goes along. The results to her approach are amazing!* Professionalism, reliability and communication. Nicole listens very well to each detail the dog owner provides and explains her training approach so it is easy to follow for someone not familiar with dog training.I can truly say that in several cases where we hired Nicole, I do not know what we'd have done without her. In every case she made a positive impact for the dog and the people involved. 100% success in every case.“
“We had never had our golden groomed and didn’t know what to expect. They listened to our requests and loved on our boy! He looked amazing!! We are thrilled they’re local and now they’ll be our go-to!“
“I work with ACC through a cat rescue I was so impressed by their care, compassion and knowledge that I nowbring my own cats all the way from North Portland, because I know they will get the best care in the Valley“
“Jeanne is the best!! We had total peace of mind while we were away - she took excellent care of our (cat) babies and provided daily messages and pictures. Highly highly recommend! :)“
“Amazing staff and they do a great job on our little shih tzu. He doesn't have to spend the entire day at the groomers. They are very fast and efficient.“
“We have a Dutch shepherd who is a wonderful pet to us. He is a bit dog aggressive and as such finding appropriate boarding for him is a bit of a challenge. We called multiple kennels and got a recommendation from an other kennel (high end dog spa) to take our dog to CMK because their owner who also has a challenging dog takes theirs there as well. We were very pleased from intake to pickup. We were a bit nervous because of the other review mentioning their lost cat. I do find it a bit abusive for that person years later to continue to harass this small business. Mistakes happen - i run a business myself. Get over it and move on! Thank you CMK for taking care of our Pooch! Lastly their pricing is very reasonable for the service offered. (Pictures below are of our Bastian having a good time in their yard - he’s a bit of a prancer :-) )“
“My parents have known Tanner for over 15 years as my childhood dog (Webster ❤️?) went to 4 Paws anytime we went out of town. My husband and I were nervous for anyone else to take care of our 2 husky mixes, but we decided on 4 Paws based on my parent’s recommendation and experiences with them in the past. We came back to happy, healthy dogs. Happy to know that we can trust 4 Paws when we need someone to watch our furry family members. Thank you!!“
“I have known Kathryn for over 10 years. She took care of my two westies -- and was wonderful with them. She has a passion for pets and was so good with them.“
“How do we love thee let me count the ways. James has been one of those rare and precious discoveries in life. He's the puppy and puppy parent whisperer. For us and in our chaotic world of work and middle school he's been our guide through the depths of puppy hell and heights of joy. He's organized and professional, preparing for our sessions with print offs with homework and next steps for our training binder he gave us. He's filled gaps in getting my two high energy boys daily walks and socialization. He's there when I'm texting in tears after they've fear-peed on our couch, chewed my fave stillies, and I've returned from chasing them down in my bed tee and bare feet after they escaped through an open door. Alas all of these frights and frustrations are par for the adopting-two-puppies-at-once course and becoming less frequent thanks to James and his deep understanding of dog behavior and how ours affects them in all the ways. He's patient, responsive, and always offering different ways to connect and understand our boys. His permission to go at their pace and let them be idiots now and then has been possibly the most appreciated. We're in our third training course (boys are 9 mos and 13 mos), both group and private, and seeing a light at the end of this stuffing filled tunnel. We all adore James and are grateful that he's a part of our village:)“
“Highly recommended; they understand dogs, and use only positive methods. I foster dogs from China and Taiwan for Golden Bond Rescue. I'm not inexperienced with training, but one dog was extremely fear-aggressive with other people and very unsafe. Brittany worked with us a couple of times, and with some practice we were able to change her behavior completely. She got a wonderful home. Not inexpensive, but effective.“
“Our Leonberger has been going to daycare here since she was a puppy. They have a very caring staff that love dogs. Would recommend them to anyone.“
