Pet Boarding Training near Mclean

“The staff here is amazing and my family has a long-standing relationship with them. Indy, my parents Vizsla who unfortunately recently passed, stayed here whenever my parents were out of town. In her younger years, Indy would do doggy daycare… sometimes three times a week even. We never had a bad situation. More recently, my GSP, Duke, has been boarded here about four times of various stays. Every prior location Duke was boarded, he would come back sad and act as if I abandoned him. At CCC, he is excited to see me but has no resentment towards me for leaving him. The staff is well trained, the animals are well taken care of, and I do not stress about Duke when I occasionally leave town. Thanks CCC for the great care!“

“I was looking for a new boarding facility for our two fur babies and after reading the reviews and speaking with Happy Cat, we decided to board our two young cats for a week and a half. I am always super anxious when we have to board our cats, but Happy Cat did such an amazing job that I didn't have to worry at all. When we dropped our cats off, they let us take them back to their room and get them settled. The staff did not rush us and allowed us time to make sure our cats felt comfortable before we left. Each room has its own theme with ample hiding cubbies, beds, toys, climbing wall shelves and plenty of windows. You can tell that Happy Cat Hotel carefully designed the rooms to allow the cats to be comfortable and to have an enriching stay.

During their stay, we received daily updates with photos of their adventures. We also opted to add the webcam, so we were able to check in on them. We got to watch the staff interact with our cats and they were always so kind and gentle - each staff member took amazing care of our babies.

If you are looking for a place, we highly recommend this place and have already booked a week stay in November for Thanksgiving. Thank you so much Happy Cat for taking such amazing care of our babies while we were away - we are forever grateful for you.

P.S. some of your staff members could become cat photographers. We have some excellent photos that I have now used as my phone background.

THANK YOU!!!!!“

“I adopted a teenage puppy who had lots of leash reactivity and lots of pulling. Denise was the 2nd trainer we worked with and since working with Denise, he's made huge progress! He would lunge and bark at everything from a cart to a recycle bin to a tall branch hanging over the fence. After determining the right tool that worked for me and him, and working through some of my own anxieties with him, I feel more confident walking him and he is much easier to handle. Me and him still have work to do, (practice makes perfect!) but I feel like I can breath when I take him out of my house and I no longer worry about the big feelings and reactivity that he had towards any and everything. Thanks to Denise, my teenage puppy might just make it to his humans sports events one day!“

“I cannot recommend Linda and her Two-Way team enough. I took an assignment in the area and moved from Detroit for almost 9 months with my dog. I knew nothing about the area, but I googled daycares this business and another one came up. I love two way. They are so loving and caring. There is so much sincerity and genuine love and care for our fur babies. They are super accommodating and even opened early for me one day because of work constraints. My dog Gizmo LOVES it there. We will really miss two way as we pack up to head home to Detroit. Thanks for everything Two-Way team!“

“We cannot speak highly enough of Keri and Unleashed Abilities. Over the last 15 years, we have been lucky enough to work with Keri with each of our three rescue dogs. Keri proved herself to be nothing short of a miracle worker when working with us and our first dog - a desert dog from the Middle East (who earned the name “Wild Dog” from his rescuers). To say he needed a lot of training would be an understatement, but after a few months with Keri, he settled into life with us and was the absolute best boy.We are currently working on training our newest rescue dog. Keri gives such great guidance that we saw a remarkable effect after just the first session. As we’ve continued to work together, his behavior and leash manners have improved immensely. Keri is wonderful at modeling how we can work with him and gives us clear “homework” to work on between sessions. She also has great rapport with dogs - he absolutely adores her and even our nervous older dog is instantly at ease with her. She is quick to respond if we have questions between sessions and we have always felt very supported. We highly recommend Keri and Unleashed Abilities!“

“Josh is definitely a great guy and I appreciate his business! Intelligent, outgoing guy who is a man of his word!“

“Susie really helped our pack out with not just one but two dogs getting to know each other and the city better. Susie really took us in when we needed help the most. Over the months I felt like Susie did not only help the dogs but also even me in comforting and supporting us during our transition into a new family.“

“Brittany had skill at understanding the particular needs of our dog and customizing a training process especially accounting for our dogs unique context and environment.“

“Teddy loves going to the “hotel”! We have used Montrose for over two years and they have been so incredible. The one on one attention they give to each fur baby rather than group play was really what made boarding him here so stress free. The staff are all so lovely and we look forward to the report cards after every visit.
We continue to use Montrose even after moving closer to DC since the experience has been nothing but amazing!“

“I am beyond grateful to have found Kim! There is not a dog nor a dog owner out there who could not benefit from working with Kim. I had a puppy that was already doing really well overall, but I wanted to understand how to improve various foundational elements of training with my puppy to set us up better for the next 15-20 years. I appreciated how Kim truly listened to my concerns and how attentive she was to the unique needs of my particular puppy. My puppy and I learned so much from Kim and I can't get over how transformative just one month of sessions with Kim has been. I really appreciated what a clear communicator Kim is and how thoroughly she shared notes regarding sessions when I was not present. I also appreciated how flexible she was in terms of scheduling sessions.

To sum up, Kim is an incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate trainer with an endless amount of ideas and resources to share with you. If you're thinking about working with Kim, I can confidently say it is absolutely worth every penny!“

“I have been a client of Alpine for 35 years. The veterinarians are skilled, kind, and caring. The same goes for the techs. They are also consistently friendly and efficient. My dog can be a handful to treat, yet the staff seem quite fond of him.“

“Tom is awesome! So easy to work with and made incredible progress with our rescue dog in a short period of time.“

“My dog and I have both loved Sean’s adventures. The whole process is so easy, Sean is amazing with the dogs, and they get so much exercise! Easily the best decision I’ve made.“

“We’ve had a few 1-1 sessions with Lauren to help with our reactive dog, Chloe, as well as monthly pack walks. She has been nothing short of phenomenal and has helped us so much! She taught us the skills and tools to help work with Chloe and we have seen tremendous progress! Additionally, Off Collar is our go-to for pet sitting services. Chloe absolutely adores Katherine who does a great job of making sure our pup is cared for when we are out of town. I can’t speak highly enough about their care and services and would definitely recommend.“

“I am so incredibly lucky to have found Brittany. I have a 2 year old golden retriever who absolutely adores her and her two pups Blue and Watson. Brittany works so hard to make sure Bailey is taken care of. She is always on top of our regularly scheduled walks and has watched Bailey overnight (Bailey comes home happy as can be). I love getting Bailey's daily walk reports where Brittany writes how the walk went, what type of "business" was done, and includes the most adorable pictures. I highly recommend Brittany, she is the best there is!“

“Woof?! My energetic, 80lb teenage girl - yup, my Rottie-mix pup, Ellie LOVES ♥️Dave, her walker. (And, a tired, well-exercised dog (see photos) is a happy owner, me!) Joe also incredibly responsive when I had urgent situation and needed someone to help out with Ellie. I’ve been really happy with DogOn Fitness, and the fact that Dave seems to be able to handle my muscular, intense girl, with love, belly rubs, and a calm demeanor gives me peace of mind. Total trust is rare gift.“

“Been very happy with them. I take my puppy there every Sat morning and it's a great way for her to run around and socialize. Patrick is very caring, who is one of the trainers“

“We're big fans of Ian and his team. Knowing that we have had trustworthy caretakers coming into our home to take care of our two cherished small dogs was priceless.“

“Karen and Laura are amazing !! Words cannot express how thankful we are for the care they give our pup Sophie!! We highly recommend their services and would not trust anyone else with coring for our pup!“

“Fantastic experience, I worked with Dara and her patience and understanding of our animals was amazing. Thank you for everything... Tinker bell and Barbie are doing great and so much more enjoyable now.“

“We took our very reactive dog, Toast, to both private lessons and two classes. We were recommended to take him to the dogs with big feelings class. It helped Toast be less reactive to other dogs. In 6 months he went from running at any dog that he saw to calmly being an example dog in his intro class, Good Dog 101 with Paul.

He used to bark for attention and throw temper tantrums to the point we couldn't even talk for 5 minutes. Sandy, who was extremely knowledgeable, worked with us to gently correct his behavior to a truly great dog.“

“Our go-to vet. Dr. Dougherty and her staff are amazing, and made us and our dog feel right at home. We just moved back to the area and can't imagine going elsewhere for veterinary services!“

“Steven came to my home to evaluate my 1 year old dog. He was extremely knowledgeable and we were very impressed with him. I would highly recommend Nova pack dog training and Steven!!!!!“

“My baby’s first grooming appointment with Tatiana was a success. She was so pretty with the bows on her ears. Her hair did get matted quickly, but that’s out of their control. I’ll definitely be back for another grooming session.“

“This place is great! Just had both my cats nails trimmed and the staff were so kind and patient. The new space is much nicer and there’s lots of natural light. One of my cats is really difficult and Bridget did a great job keeping her calm and trimming her nails quickly. Got an appointment same day and very affordable!“
