CANINE CARE KUDOS

Since 2015, we've been more than just a doggy daycare—we're a second home for your four-legged family members. What started as a passion project has grown into a community of wagging tails, happy barks, and lifelong friendships.

For over a decade, we've been transforming ordinary days into extraordinary adventures for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. From shy puppies finding their confidence to social butterflies making new fur friends, we've been there for every memorable moment.

These aren't just pawfessional praise. They're love letters from the heart—stories of trust, joy, and the unbreakable bond between dogs and their humans. Each review is a snapshot of the magic that happens when passionate caregivers meet the most loyal companions on the planet.

 

On a scale of 1-5, this place gets a 10 for sure! I got my 90 lb purebred Rottweiler from craigslist, when someone was essentially dumping him. I didn't want him to end up on the streets or used for fighting, so I took him in. He was 8 and petrified upon entering my house with an already established dog pack and new human. I was nice to him and took care of him. I tried to exercise him the best I could, but was, by no means, a dog trainer. He was scared and reactive and had 2 biting incidents.

I brought him to the vet. The vet told me to put him down bc he was "aggressive" and too much liability. Rescues could not take him bc of the bite hx and liability. I asked dog trainers their opinions, and many of them told me that if he did not respond to positive training that he should be put down. These were all professional, educated animal people telling me to kill my dog instead of working with him and giving him a chance.

So while talking to those dog trainers, someone mentioned Joe T. from K9 Training and Doggy Daycare and that he was really good with big, scary looking, biting dogs. I gave him a call. I brought him in for an eval. Of course, my boy was bear toward Joe. Joe just went with it and wasn't scared at all. I was nervous to get my dog started with training that was not positive. HOWEVER-positive training was not going to change my rottie's behaviors. So I had to try something new.

I gave it a shot and signed my dog up for the 6 week training. They did an amazing job with him. I'm very picky about who I let watch my dogs. I trusted that the staff was treating him well. Victoria was great with the communication part of it. I was nervous during the first week and called her often. She was polite and helpful every time. She sent videos and pictures of my big scary rottie being playful with everybody and behaving like a little angel, wagging his tail, etc. He just had to get over his fear issues and gain more confidence.

They worked wonders on him. They treated him like he was part of their family. After the first week of boarding, I wasn't nervous at all. I knew he was just fine. I can't thank them enough for being so good to my dog. (And remember, this was the dog that many people essentially wanted dead). Because of Joe, Victoria, Anthony, and the staff, my dog was able to enjoy the rest of his life knowing what it was like to be a good boy. 

 

We have been going to K9’s for doggy daycare for quite some time now. Fantastic value and wonderful staff who really love the pups. Our boy, Bosco, just completed six weeks of Board & Train: we are certain they switched our dog out with another dog! Bosco now has his manners, walks in Heel, sit, lays down, and even stays in place on his cot. Amazing progress and attention to his positive training—not punishment method. He responds to treats, praise, and his reminder button on his remote & e-collar. I really can’t recommend their training enough. Joe, and his team, Anthony and Scott and others are wonderful trainers.
"Been bringing my dog here for a year now. She drags me in each morning. Her training she has received is amazing. All the employees here are great and my dog loves them all. They are caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy""I used K9’s for boarding when I travelled out of the country, they did a great job taking care of my husky! I will be using them going forward for day care and training""Wonderful, caring staff who really understand “difficult” dogs. A friend recommended this place to me after my dog was kicked out of yet another doggy daycare. K9 took one look at him, and explained his behavior to me and told me how they’d handle it while my dog was boarded there. We have not done the board and train (completed that through another org), but will always drive 30 minutes away to board our dog with K9. Always a great experience for years."
