The majority of the staff is actually really good. You have 1 or 2 crappy staff members who just don't care and will watch your dog get humped by other dogs, Eat other dog's poop, Eat rocks, Etc. The KTs and some of the FD b&b staff are top tier, Too good for the management. As for the management, They can go screw themselves with a 9 inch dildo. If you're looking for an easy job, This is the place for you. I don't recommend staying too long or going above and beyond because it's a waste of time. They don't appreciate their old staff and they will VERY quickly screw you over for a new person as soon as summer starts. Do not work harder than you have to at this job! They hire anyone! Do you know how many times I've had to work by myself because they don't have a reliable staff team who actually SHOWS up. Half of their staff is minors. They have this lil creepy boy there who they wont get rid of. Don't worry tho, I'm sure they'll replace him too when they find someone. He has made SO many girls their feel uncomfortable due to his REFUSAL to understand BOUNDARIES. He has asked workers if they participate in ni*ple play, Violated girls space, Etc. Within his FIRST week of being hired, He had to be talked to about the way he grabs dogs too rough IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. These dogs were literally yelping. That's how hard he would grab them. I don't understand why he was so unnecessarily rough with DOGS when they did NOTHING. Wanna know why your dogs refuse to get out the car when you get there? Why they won't come past the black doors? Why your dogs refuse to go outside for playtime? Why your dog looks at you like they HATE you when you pick them up from boarding? Yeah...Let's talk more about your doggies! Your dogs sit in corners with mouse poop. Yes, It's an old building but the mouse problem is just out of control...no worries though! David will use your dogs to catch the mice! Instead of finding a real solution, Let's just put a corgi out so they can hunt the mice. One time they put down sticky traps and a couple dogs got ahold of them. When you pick your dog up from day care and they say that your beloved companion has a mysterious puncture and they can't figure out where it came from...It came from the broken fence that David is too CHEAP to fix! It's been broken for over a year now. It's covered with broken kennel mats that your dog is jamming into. David would rather keep the day care open than inconvenience his customers for one or two days to remodel, Fix, or even just clean the place up. He is the PRIME example of a money hungry business. This place does the bare minimum to pass a PACFA inspection...as they should. Again, Don't work harder than you have to. Also, Yes your dog did come home skinner and dehydrated. If your dog doesn't eat while they are at b&b, You better hope Selah is working. Otherwise, Looks like your dog isn't eating. Unless your dog has any allergy info listed, They will continue to pick up their food and throw it away. Especially over holidays. David crams a bunch of kennels into day care play room. It's WAYY too many dogs and a safety hazard. Also, If you're wondering why you got stuck with a $500+ vet bill over Thanksgiving, Your dog was eating the dirty piss poop marinated ice over the holidays. We had a whole room of dogs puking blood and throwing up. If you have a lazy team and your dogs has cloudy water, The water won't be getting changed. Single kennels? Again, If you don't get a team that actually cares, Your single dog will be put outside in a single kennel with 2 other piles of dog poop that have been baking in the sun. Better pray your doggo isn't a poop eater! The single kennels are also broken...again, Too cheap to fix that. Your dogs that go to group are 5 minutes away from meeting a dog aggressive single lol. Anyway, I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting but yeah. read more

Took on a challenge with a new 8 month old pup, that had never been trained! 40 lbs mind you of joy, aggression, fear of everything! I had a family emergency and had to find a boarding that would take her. Tried a few place but none would take her because of her actions towards people and other dogs. Thankfully found Boarding & Beyond and stopped in with my crazy pup. There was Tanner a super cool, laid back gent chill'en while my pup was going nuts ready to chomp off Tanners fingers...Tanner stayed calm cool and collected, and slowly but surely my pup started to trust Tanner. Tanner spent sometime with us. Showed us around took my pup outside and played with her gaining more trust from me and the pup. I ended up leaving her there for a few hours per Tanners suggestion to see how well she would do without my nervous presence. While i was gone Tanner got her so comfortable that she ended up in the yard playing with 30 plus other doggies so calm as if just hours ago there was no tantrum. I leave out of town this weekend so there will be a follow up to this review, but I feel completely comfortable leaving my pup in Tanners hands! So far 5 Stars for an amazing staff that truly loves our fur babies! P.S. the pup in my picture is not the pup...the pup im talking about is a German Shepherd mix 40lbs at 8 months.. read more

Rarely am I compelled to post a Yelp review but my positive experience over the last few days is worthy of the word getting out. Bravo to Boarding & Beyond! This week, their close observation and quick thinking literally saved the life of my brother's dog, Charlie. Here are the particulars: while out of the country, my brother left Charlie in the care of Boarding and Beyond. On Wednesday, staff noticed Charlie had quickly become lethargic and observed his stomach didn't look right. After getting the okay from my brother, they took Charlie to a local emergency hospital. Almost immediately, Charlie was diagnosed with gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) - considered one of the most painful and severe emergencies in veterinary medicine. Left untreated, a dog with GDV will die within hours. Happily, because Charlie was seen very quickly after his symptoms started, he underwent surgery within an hour of arriving at the hospital. I am happy to report Charlie was released today and in the next few hours will be reunited with my brother. That will be a very happy reunion of two very devoted friends...a reunion that frankly wouldn't have happened but for the decisive actions of this staff. We are so very grateful. Thank you B & B!! read more

This is a review for the training and Victoria. She is amazing and my husband and I have learned so much. We thought we knew how to train our dog because we've always had laid back dogs. We adopted a sweet pup with a lot of anxiety and realized we needed some help. We tried two different trainers before Victoria. The other training claimed to be positive but in the end they wanted us to use shock and a prong collar on our dog which made the anxiety worse. Victoria showed that truly positive training works (and we were skeptical until we saw the way she interacted with our dog). Our dog is progressing everyday and is so much happier and more relaxed. In addition to the training, Victoria sent us articles, videos to help us work on skills with our dog. She followed up regularly to check in on our progress. Training is a lot of work but I can tell you we have such a better bond with our dog because of it and the skills Victoria has taught us will stay with us. Normally, we don't board our dog because we have family watch her but after working with Victoria we are going to board her at boarding and beyond this summer so that our dog can continue to work with Victoria. I feel so relieved that we can leave our fur baby in such good hands. read more

I've been coming here on and off for two years since I've adopted my dog Rocco. When I first adopted him, the adoption center told me that he's reactive, dominant, should not be left outside unsupervised, and should not be around other dogs. I stopped by here to do a doggy behavioral assessment, and see what tips and tricks my boy could do to be socialized better. In a matter of two months, his behavior started to change and he became relaxed. In four months - he could be around other dogs in a dog park with moderate supervision. In a year, he needed light supervision and was learning how to interact with dogs socially and appropriately. I'm writing this review two years out and I have 95% trust in my dog to respond appropriately to dogs, stick up for himself, and be able to quiet sit in public places with no issue. His attention is on me, or himself, and he is redirectable and calm. I've gotten so many compliments of how well trained he is. He even corrects other dogs behavior gently. Lindsey the manager and staff here have been super helpful and I'll gladly recommend this service to anyone who wants to socialize their dog, and have a family approach business to boarding/grooming. read more

We cherish our dogs like family and have always been hesitant to use a boarding facility. Common concerns like how well the staff cares for the dogs, cleanliness, and whether they'll truly get the attention and exercise they need have made us wary in the past. Thankfully, our neighbor Mollie recommended Boarding and Beyond, and we couldn't be happier! They even have a live camera so you can watch through out the day and see how everything is going. The staff is absolutely incredible--attentive, caring, and clearly passionate about the dogs. They took the time to address all our questions and made us feel at ease from the very beginning. Every time we pick up our pups, they're happy, well cared for, and absolutely worn out--like they've been playing and having fun all day long! It's such a relief to know they're in good hands and enjoying themselves while we're away. If you've ever hesitated to board your dogs, give Boarding and Beyond a try. They've set the bar incredibly high for what a boarding facility should be. Thank you, Mollie, for the recommendation--we're so grateful! read more

We adopted our dog Martha several months ago and after some plans fell through ended up having to find somewhere to board her for a weekend while we traveled out of town. I was VERY anxious to board her somewhere as it's hard to trust that people you've never met will take good care of your dog but B&B was recommended by a friend so I decided to look into it. They were incredibly fast in responding to me and even let me come that night to tour their place and answered All my questions! I LOVED that they have videos on their play yards so I could check in on Martha and see that she was having a great time which helped my anxiety over leaving her immensely. I have now taken her to daycare several times as well and she always has the best time and is POOPED when she gets home! The staff have all been very friendly and pleasant and I feel comfortable and confident that she is going to be well taken care of when she's there. We will use them for all our boarding needs for sure. can't recommend them enough! read more

If you would like to know how I feel about this poorly ran unprofessional establishment just go to the BBB website I've listed a complaint and review. There's no excuse for unprofessionalism or terrible attitudes when you are working with people's pets. Just make sure you really research where you want to board your animal. I picked my dog up who was shaking, cowering, tail tucked, skittish, with clumps literally clumps of fur falling out. The General Manager and Raina refused to address any issues that I was having with my pet. I was actually told to find another boarding facility for my dog. (This was after they said he did a great job). Shotty organization with shady employees. The scary part is that I'll never really know what happened to my pet while he was there.. BEWARE look elsewhere there are plenty of kind caring facilities that will take fantastic care of your pets, this is not one of those places read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Boarding and Beyond! They've been taking care of my dog like she's one of their own, and every experience has been amazing. From the moment we walk in, their staff is warm, attentive, and professional, which instantly puts me at ease. My dog always comes back happy, healthy, and well cared for, which speaks volumes about the level of attention and love she receives while there. The facility is clean, secure, and thoughtfully designed to ensure the pets are comfortable and safe. What truly sets Boarding and Beyond apart is their dedication to understanding each pet's needs. They've gone above and beyond to accommodate special requests and provide updates during her stay. It's clear they genuinely love what they do, and it shows in the way they treat every animal. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my fur baby. Boarding and Beyond has earned a lifelong customer! read more

We heard about Boarding and Beyond from a friend. A big name pet store thought that our pup Ranger was too aggressive and would keep him locked in a small space. A trial day at Boarding and Beyond, we heard absolutely opposite. They could not stop describing how sweet and playful Ranger was. Rest is history. Ranger has been a regular at Boarding and Beyond for almost a year now. He gets really excited when we get there and all staff there remember him by name. Honestly, I am surprised how they keep up with that many puppies and doggies names :) The best part, he is always tired when we pick him up afterwards. We have been very happy with the love and care he receives. We have also used their grooming services for Ranger and liked those too. All in all, we cannot recommend them enough. Boarding and Beyond is a great place for your pups with people who really love and care dogs. read more

I am writing this review for Victoria Baker and her training experience. I have a dog who is leash reactive and before I met Victoria, I thought there was no hope for him. Previous trainers let me down and proved to make my dogs anxiety worse. After only 5 sessions with Victoria and lots of continued training on my part, my dog is a different dog! I am no longer afraid to take him out into public settings and I finally understand his fears and anxiety! Victoria taught me to recognize his triggers and how to acknowledge them by respecting his boundaries, keeping him under threshold and she gave me the tools to teach him to focus on me in stressful/new situations. My dog is my child and now, thanks to Victoria, I have a well behaved, well trained and happy kid!! If you have an aggressive/reactive dog, Victoria Baker is the trainer you are looking for! read more

We use Boarding & Beyond for when we go on vacations. We have a small Chihuahua mix that's pretty friendly. I had been touring other places that kept the dogs in a tiny wire cage almost 24 hours. I was in a panic until a friend referred me to Boarding and Beyond. I did some research and was happy with the activities and care. They get to go out and play several times a day. Before dropping her off they made sure all vaccinations were up to date, including the Kennel Cough one. On our latest trip this month they were gracious with all my calls (prompted by my family) and we were able to view the dogs on the webcam. I want to state that when our dog was very young, she fell off the bed (at our house) and broke her leg. It was a $3k surgery so we tend to be very protective. We have had good experiences at Boarding and Beyond. read more

This place is amazing. I've taken my dog Brando here sporadically for a month or so now and they have always been respectful and professional, especially Tanner, who clearly loves what he does. Even if you're shy about bringing your dog, there are staff dogs there who are calm around other dogs and are great to test the waters. Everybody loves these dogs. They even remembered Brando's name after he'd been there only one day. They have programs available for every kind of dog and are always accommodating. You can have them groomed and do activities like urban mushing, and you can always keep an eye on your dog and make sure he's behaving himself because the whole place is cammed, and they'll even give you a tour. Brando and I love this place and will come back here for the foreseeable future !! read more

Boarding and Beyond, needs to have a larger rating scale, 5 stars is just too easy for them to achieve. Since coming here my girls have developed a much better way of getting along with other dogs. Not to mention the love and affection that the staff smothers them with until we get a chance to be reunited is unmeasurable. This review is simply just a teaser review and does not do enough justice to the company or the staff. Don't be surprised when you come to pick up your furry friends if they act like they would rather stay than go home, once they realize they get to come back they'll be alright. It really is like doggy get away. I am so glad that my friend recommended these Guys and Gals and so are my little girls. Sincerely and Truthfully, Todd Benedict read more

Great service and they love and care for my fur babies like I do. Been bringing my Renia for years. They have always been responsive to her needs keep her to a normal schedule and ensure that she is comfortable during her stay. We adopted a new puppy Romeo and brought him for the first time this last week and same thing they were great. Cost are competitive as well and have a handful on consistent staff that makes the experience so much more personal. When you leave you babies with the same folks it makes it a quick easy and stress free experience! Thank you guys for all the wonderful service over the years you guys are FANTASTIC!! Love from Renia and Romeo!! read more

I took my golden doodle Marlay to Boarding and Beyond for a bath and grooming yesterday. Unfortunately, Marlay tore her ACL and required TPLO surgery earlier this month. The groomer did an excellent job with Marlay's cut, she called me to report Marlay's hair was matted and would require a closer cut than we had discussed. I am very pleased with the results of her visit to the groomer. Marlay was kept in the grooming area all day and was not put in with the general doggie population, as I had requested. I am very grateful for the excellent care Marlay received and will be using Boarding and Beyond whenever I need doggie day care or boarding help! read more

We have been using Boarding and Beyond for 5 years now, and love them! We have actually moved out of state, back in state to Canon City and will drive our Sadie 2 hours so she can have a great doggy day. Tanner and the crew are wonderful, respectful and caring of our girl. The staff knows us and are always happy to see us. We are moving yet again, we will be much closer and will be boarding her during our move. We look forward to a regular schedule of daycare for her. She is always so happy when she spends time at Boarding and Beyond and tired when she comes home. We DO recommend Boarding and Beyond whenever we can. Debbie M. read more

Our dog loves Boarding and Beyond. He gets so excited when he realizes we're headed there that he can barely contain himself. The staff is friendly and professional and their check-in/drop-off process is very easy and quick. I like that they have a live webcam so you can check on your pup throughout the day if you would like. Additionally, our pup is a year and a half old intact male, and it has been difficult finding a good doggy day care and boarding facility that will accept a dog that is not fixed. It's comforting to know we have a place that we trust to look after our dog for both day care and boarding services. read more

Boarding & Beyond is wonderful. We have been boarding our dogs (three) there for several years, once a year when we visit family back east. One year we boarded them for almost three weeks only because we already had experience with them and trusted them! Our babies love playing with all the other 'guests'. They have always come home clean, happy, and best of all well adjusted! They are happy to see us and have never exhibited any behavioral indicators of stress. Because of that, we have been able to plan trips without worry and total confidance our guys will have just as good a time as we will! Bonnie H. read more
