Miranda has been so helpful with my new puppy! I noticed at puppy play time around 12 weeks old, my…read moreXena was not paying attention to other dogs telling her to back off (probably bc the elderly dogs at home just let her do whatever). Miranda was recommended to me by another trainer in town who didn't have openings. Boy am I glad I matched up with her! In just a few short months, Miranda has shown me how to guide my girl into making good choices for the situation so she's not just listening to my commands but shaping into an intelligent canine. I appreciate that Miranda has a diverse staff to give exposure/socialization to my puppy. She always makes sure there is a good ratio of people to dogs in day training (note: not "doggy daycare" because they work them!). When I pick up Xena, I get the details of the day: what she did well, what she had difficulty with and how to reinforce at home. Puppy socials are the best (too bad Xena is too big now)! Xena now sees kids and sits her butt down so hard, wagging tail, waiting for a treat. Also, the outings are so good for my puppy to learn being outside around other dogs/people doesn't mean she gets to play play play. In a private with Miranda, she jumps right in to help you figure out solutions to your training problems. She is realistic about what you and your dog should work on to get to the goal you want; adding onto those skills as you both improve. Not everyone wants a dog to jump through hoops. She wants to help you with dog behavior YOU want to work towards; what are you looking for out of your dog training? Miranda will definitely help you make it happen!

I wanted to update my review because we now have a puppy! I immediately thought of Miranda when we…read morestarted thinking about training and options for daycare. She and her team now offer day training which is a serious lifesaver! Who wouldn't want their dog in the best hands ever and also being trained while you are at work?! They continue to impress even as Miranda's business grows. Our puppy now goes to day training on a pretty regular basis and we will start puppy classes soon. Miranda also has a good variety of foods, treats, and toys in her shop and they are reasonably priced which is so nice! Thanks for making it so easy to leave my new puppy with you and your team!!

The property is beautiful, lots of room for the dogs to run around and play safely. The facilities are what I'm used to seeing for hunting dogs so just be mentally prepared that it's more aligned with cabins at sleepaway summer camp that you went to as a kid rather than The Four Seasons hotel. The floors are heated and they provide blankets/towels so it keeps everyone comfortable. I agree with another reviewer who said that the bougie kennels are more for the pet owners comfort than anyone else, all the pups (including mine) seem perfectly happy and well taken care of. Word to the wise: they will be playing outside a bunch so you'll want to plan on a bath when they get home! What really clued me in that this was the right place for us was our skittish dog letting Leonard pet her during our first visit. He definitely has a natural ability to communicate with the pups and I guess she knew it because she was an abuse case rescue and almost never approaches anyone for affection! We will definitely be bringing our dogs back to "camp" whenever we need to leave town, they had a blast :)

I asked Leonard to use a closed fist motion to help signal him to sit so he'd be on the same page with my other dog and when I got him back after the three weeks it worked like a charm. Aside from his work, I would give Leonard himself a 5 star review. He's polite, very understanding of needs/wants, and overall was just a great guy to work with. Would be willing to board my dogs with him again if I ever need to!

She had tried another daycare in the area but unfortunately wasn't able to stay because her anxiety made it difficult for her to adjust. The staff here were willing to give her a chance, and we are so glad they did! She ended up doing really well, and everyone we met was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were willing to work with her and let her settle in at her own pace. We visit Billings and are so happy to have found a daycare where we feel comfortable leaving her. We will absolutely be bringing her back whenever we're in town. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!

As someone who has supported Yellowstone Valley Animal Shelter (YVAS) for decades, I've had a…read morefront-row seat to their incredible growth and transformation. While some older reviews reflect a time when the shelter was under different leadership and struggling with management and outdated practices, the YVAS of today is an entirely different organization--one that the Billings community should be proud to have. YVAS has evolved into a professional, compassionate, and highly efficient operation. Their length of stay for animals is impressively short--far below the national average--which speaks volumes about their dedication to finding loving homes quickly and responsibly. This is not a shelter that warehouses animals or euthanizes for space; this is a shelter that works for every single life. What's even more remarkable is that they do all of this with very little funding from city and county contracts, yet they operate a million-dollar-plus organization with integrity, transparency, and heart. Most of the leadership team has been there for nearly a decade (or longer!) and many of them hold nationally recognized certifications in animal care and shelter management. Their experience shows--in the way they care for the animals, train their staff, and educate the public. If you've read negative reviews from the past or from individuals who may not fully understand how shelters operate, I encourage you to take a second look. YVAS is not only one of the best-run shelters in Montana, but I would argue they're one of the best in the region. Their commitment to animal welfare is unmatched, and the lives they've saved over the years tell the real story.

I would never ever recommend this establishment to anyone in Montana! The owner hands reviews like a child and makes threats which isn't very professional at all. All because I dont like his company. Personally using my info to make threats should be illegal. (I would be fired if I did that at my job) I will be filing a police report and restraining order against the owner since he chose to use to my info for something other then business.
