When we first got Cooper…read morean Australian Shepard we were nervous to leave him anywhere but both my husband and I worked all day at the time and didn't want to leave him in the house all day. We had checked out a bunch of doggie day cares and then finally we checked out K9 Kamp. When we got there and met John instantly we felt comfortable leaving Cooper with him. He scooped Coop up and gave a big hug and checked him out, cut his nails and brushed him. I knew when we left him there he would be loved but kept in line. The daycare is super clean, John is a neat freak. He is always cleaning everything and doing some task when you are picking up or dropping off your dog. The place is huge and the dogs have a lot of area to run around in. There is also a huge heated area that has hammocks and places for the dogs to lay inside on cold or rainy days. Also, Cooper gets a bath every week and he comes home every Friday fresh clean. Cooper has now been going here for almost two years and he loves it. We now have a baby so I am home but we still bring Cooper there most days because he loves it so much and gets all his energy out. He gets so excited when we turn into the K9 Kamp drive way, if his window is open he has jumped out the window and runs to the gate or John, that is how much he loves going here. We love K9 Kamp and John and we highly recommend bringing your doggie here!

I dropped her off at their doggie day care at two o'clock, and they allowed me to pick her up fifteen minutes after closing so I would not have to leave my work early. Tess can be a "worry wart," but she seemed calm and well cared for when I came to get her. The facility is very clean and well kept. Signage from the road is clear & parking is easy. They gave me a little "report card" when I picked her up. It gave me an idea of how Tess' day had been, and was a very nice gesture. The pricing at ADDA is fair and reasonable. I would definitely take Tess back again. I highly recommend A Dog's Day Away!

We can't speak highly enough of David and how much he helped our family. My boyfriend and I have a…read more2 year old Bluetick Coonhound, Charlie. Starting when he was about 6 months we were having behavioral issues with him in the home. It started with resource guarding and food aggression, and overtime escalated to aggression toward us. We constantly walked on eggshells around him. It even got to the point of when we would come home from a walk Charlie wouldn't let us take his collar off. He would growl, snarl and bare his teeth, and turn on us. We had to use a baby gate as a "shield" to get to our bedroom. We didn't feel safe in our own home and no other trainer was able to help us. I had been bit twice up to this point. We debated rehoming Charlie, had almost lost all hope, broken hearted, and felt like we failed him. Upon reaching out, before we even met David, he reassured us he would be able to help. During our in-person evaluation with David he told us Charlie is a dominant dog and he is at the top of the pack. We needed to train with Charlie to regain our place at the top of the pack. Not only would it strengthen our bond with him but we would feel safe again and regain control of our home. Charlie spent two weeks at Trouwe Hond and came home yesterday. The confidence we have gained with David's training can't be put into words. Charlie is completely different, he is happy again and our family is whole again. We are SO grateful for the time and dedication David gave not only Charlie but us as well. We still have a lot of training ahead but we are so excited to continue learning with our boy.

As hinted in the name, this is a 'positive' only training place. If you don't know what that means,…read moreI highly suggest doing some research. Any good trainer should be balanced because not all dogs are created equal so you can't assume only one technique will work for all dogs.. and if they don't want to be balanced, they should care enough about dogs to admit they can't help you and recommend you find someone else.. I had a german shepherd and went here for puppy classes. We did the 8 week class when she was 5 months old. She was anxious and reactive. The trainer of the puppy class didn't have any experience with this breed or any other "working" breed. I should have known better and immediately looked elsewhere, but they said I just needed to give it time.. My mistake was trusting them because time didn't make it better. If she was reacting, their advice was to put high value food in front of her face and once she was quiet to reward her with it. While yes this does make sense to reward the behavior we want, they have no methods of telling the dog no or that a behavior is unacceptable. So if your dog doesn't want that piece of food, why would it listen to you? Put it this way - you tell your kid to do chores and they'll get cake if they do. If they don't, they don't get cake. If the kid doesn't feel like cake that day, it's not going to do the chores and nothing happens. No consequence for not doing what it should. BUT that's not how things work, there should be consequences and discipline - hence we ground children or take away their phone etc. In PAWS-itively obedient's world, you just don't give them the treat and expect change to happen. We finished the 8 week class, and there were some minor improvements (only because I had taken my puppy to a "dog training" day care elsewhere for 3 days). SO I was encouraged by PAWS-itively obedient's trainer to sign up for the next level of classes. My GSD's behavior was not getting better, and she was getting much bigger now making her a bit more dangerous and difficult to control. I stopped in the middle of the next program and started to look elsewhere for trainers that could actually help train my dog. When I let them know I was leaving, their main concern was that I didn't go somewhere that used prong or electric collars as they believe it makes the dog more reactive. I was frustrated that they couldn't help me and admit that they couldn't and now annoyed that they felt the need to tell me what I shouldn't use - your method didn't work so you don't get to tell me not to try other methods. They should also educate themselves because prong collars and electric collars, or slip collars etc. do NOT make a dog more aggressive. I highly recommend working with a trainer on how to properly use these tools. Since I left and found a balanced trainer, my shepherd has never been better. Life changing using a prong and ecollar. She is well behaved, not reactive, and is great off leash! I can't recommend this place for the fact they believe in one method only and don't admit when they can't help you. They clearly just wanted my money and don't care for the mental state of the dogs. Please do your research and look elsewhere for other great trainers and advice that can handle any and all dogs. - FalcoK9, Ruff Translating, SouthShoreDogSquad, Wolf Pack Canine, Upstate Canine Academy, Michael Ellis - just to name a few..

Our previous dog walker had moved out of state. I felt terrible asking these new people to take care of a dog who wouldn't be with us for very long, but they insisted they were OK with it and would never leave me without care (even though we'd just met!) They were incredibly wonderful to my old girl during her last year of her life. I was always nervous to leave her with anyone. They took care of her as their own - both for walks and for weekends we were were away. A few months after our old girl passed, we adopted a new rescue puppy. That was 3 years ago and Prabin has been with us since. They take her when we are away and walk her daily in between. THey were on "stand-by" when our daughter was born last summer and helped tremedously in making the transition a smooth one. Prabin (and the others) are extremely reliable, personable, caring, responsible, HONEST, trustworthy and most importantly - AMAZING with our dog. She LOVES Prabin (And Andrew and Kyrah) and so do we!! I recommend Doggy Divas without reservation. I can't say enough!! :)
