The staff is friendly and communicative, the facilities are clean, and they offer lots of great add-ons like peanut butter Kongs and walks in the park. They send regular updates, sometimes even with pictures. We are so grateful to Pupper's for the ability to get out of the house without guilt - we know Oscar is having a great time!

On May 7, I scheduled Pepper's first grooming appointment. We were especially excited because the…read morelocation is very close to my home. We booked a grooming service and were clear with the front desk about our expectations. We selected a tier 3 shortness level haircut and explicitly requested her entire body to be trimmed -- including her head, face, and a lion-style tail (fluffy end, trimmed shaft). Unfortunately, the results were disappointing. Upon pickup, Pepper shook her body and an excessive amount of loose hair fell off, which indicated she was not brushed thoroughly after the cut. In addition, the specific areas we highlighted were not properly groomed, and the cut across her body is noticeably uneven. I have attached photos for your reference. While I understand this was her first appointment and the groomer was seeing her for the first time, I want to make it clear that Pepper is a very calm and cooperative dog who is easy to groom. There should not have been any behavioral challenges affecting the outcome. Given the quality of the grooming service provided, we do not believe the results reflect the price we paid. We requested a discount or partial refund for the visit, and have not heard from anyone. We followed up two more times and still nothing. We hope this feedback can be used to improve quality control and communication in the future. We will not be back again.

I'm grateful to everyone there because they genuinely love dogs and are devoted to caring for our beloved pets. Kudos.

I had adopted a troubled seven- or eight-year-old German Shepherd out of the Shelter who'd been in…read morethere, in solitary, for fourteen weeks. I knew Hudson was going to be a challenge, but I didn't know just what form that would take. We bonded very quickly but Hudson just wasn't "getting it" -- he'd incessantly pull on the leash, freak out seeing other dogs out on walks, and I absolutely could not leave him home alone if I wanted to come home to plants still alive in the window. His issues were intense dog reactivity and extreme separation anxiety. He'd apparently been abused and, with the scars on his back legs, perhaps even attacked by other dogs in the past. He'd had a rough go of it, but I soon learned that his heart was sweet & benevolent, and that he absolutely did not deserve what he'd been through. He deserved to be safe & happy. Having worked with Judi out at Great Dog many years prior, my good, old friend Andy recommended her to me, and off we went. Judi could tell from watching Hudson and I approach that very first day that we needed help -- we were "all over the road" as it were -- but she fully committed to helping us. Judi is a special person. She most definitely "gets it" and can intuit what's really going on -- with dogs especially, but also with their *people*. We did many training exercises directly with Hudson, but I soon realized that *I* was the one who really needed the training. We started seeing Judi -- and often her amazing partners Ethan and Abbie -- every Saturday morning over many weeks. It didn't take long for Hudson to get really excited when we'd start our weekly drive up to Northgate, and he always enjoyed going (and always got lots of treats!). We would do many different training exercises with Hudson but we'd also have "classroom time", where we'd discuss the Why and the How. The results of these conversations would often surprise me later with their impact on Hudson's behavior, and how they were slowly changing him, and me, over time. We were making progress. Judi has strong opinions about dogs going back over twenty years, but she can back each and every one of those up with reason and logic. I always greatly admired her ability to communicate with dogs as well as people, and to explain, and I soon saw the wisdom of whatever she was trying to tell me. Judi is gentle and focused and knows what works, but perhaps more importantly, she knows what *doesn't*. Judi and everyone else I met out at Great Dog was naturally empathetic, competent, loved dogs, and really wanted to help. The *energy* at Great Dog is great for dogs, and for people. Good things happen there. Judi and Abbie and Ethan each helped and taught us, and their lessons and guidance continue to improve Hudson's and my life each & every day. For any dog owner who really wants to learn, and listen, and make the life of their dog as great as it can be, then Great Dog is the place for them.

After our local training place closed we were looking for other options and committed to positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately a lot of trainers use aversives, especially with large strong dogs. We were so excited to find Julia, and after our meet & greet we were confident she was a good choice. Julia did a 2 week board & train with our dog while we were traveling, mainly focusing on leash skills and practicing calm behavior around exciting things. We noticed an immediate improvement, but have also been continuing to work on the training at home after our follow up. I'm happy to report that we are continuing to see improvement using Julia's methods.

I noticed little refrigerators under the front desk area so you definitely can bring food other than kibbles that need refrigeration. The staff are also very friendly and cheery and this makes me feel happy that my dog will be in good care. Each day camp comes with a report card at the end of the day of what your dog did and sometimes there are photos of your dog with their new dog friends or on their walks. Super cute and makes me happy!!
