Thanks to BratPak team, Duke had an awesome time with the water and his pup friends at the camp. I loved how they keep close parents sending pics and notices about our pup. The only thing I could ask for next time is to be more flexible about drop off time. I understand the process at BratPak but I thing what all the parents want is having a nice welcome when drop off their baby's. Besides that, Thanks to all the team! read more

I am so happy I found BratPak & definitely wishing I had found them sooner! I'm excited to start my dog in the daycare but as of right now I started him off with training & I can't say nothing less than Sean the trainer, was amazing !! He was very thorough with everything and I'm glad the tips and tricks were focused on what I could do BETTER . I like his methods and have been using them, & they have been working . I also like that they do in home training and the pricing is very affordable in comparison to a lot of other places I have looked into.. thank you Sean for helping me & my Milo! We look forward to working with you again & hopefully getting Milo into daycare soon :) !! read more

Now that my dog has boarded at BratPak quite a few times, I can finally leave another review on another service BratPak provides. My dog loves coming there for daycare. He comes home happy and tired (from all the fun of course!). And the staff - amazing! I had a wedding early September. So my plan was to have my dog, Kudo, stay one night, then 2 nights, then 3 and so forth by September. So at least he is used to staying overnight way from his PAWrents and hoomans. He has to take 2 doses of his medication for his heart daily. And the staff and I were able to communicate how he takes it and when he takes it. And they followed instructions. When Kudo gave them a hard time, they let me know. Danica even suggested buying a pill pusher just in case, which I bought the exact same day she told me. And even said they will try to use another type of cheese to hide his medication. Other than that, staff would tell me on updates that Kudo took his meds with no problem. I really appreciate the staff for keeping me updated with Kudo and his meds and I thank them for being patient with Kudo and his behavior! I really hope he wasn't a huge hassle hehe. Other than that, whatever instructions or information I gave them in regards to Kudo, I felt they listened and cared for him during his stay. I don't have any complaints to be honest. I would see him on their camera feed and he is exploring and running around. I feel with BratPak, Kudo is able to be better with socializing with other dogs. And that makes me happy. I always appreciated the pictures and updates. On Kudo's last boarding stay, the staff informed me that Kudo was limping and he had a tiny amount of blood on one of his paws. They even showed a picture and let me know they have been cleaning the paw and monitoring him. This showed me how much the staff cares about the dogs they look after. And I am so grateful for them and their attention to the dogs that stay there. Communication with staff and Danica during this incident was great. And it turns out Kudo was licking his paw excessively during the night. And Danica reassured me that Kudo would get rest and wear a cone to prevent further irritation to the paw. And that it was healing. Again, thank you to the BratPak Staff for all you do for my boy! The only thing I wish happened during boarding care is more updates. I noticed I would get an update on the first night but days after that...I felt like I had to text the staff once a day to see how Kudo was doing and wait for a response. But I totally understand that they can be busy. And they usually respond in a timely manner so it's fine. I guess it's a Dog Mom thing? Ending this review with... Definitely would recommend BratPak for their boarding services as well! Staff is trust worthy, dependable, knowledgeable, and reliable. They made me feel that my dog and other dogs will be safe under their care. read more

BratPak is our go-to daycare for our dog. We have been taking her for over three years and have never been disappointed in the service and care our dog has received. I trust BratPak to always take the best care of our furry family member! Highly recommend! read more

We've had our fur baby, Happy attending their daycare. Initially, she was shy, but Sean and his crew has shown her a lot of patience and love, and now, she is coming out of her shell. Someone is always with the pack, and the dogs there look so happy to be there. When I brought her to Brat Pak today, she was eager to go into their lobby and was thrilled to see Sean. As I left, she didn't look back to see where I was. She was overjoyed to be there! Thank you, Brat Pak for giving our pup such a fun, safe and loving environment. read more

Bratpak is hands-down the best daycare and boarding for my pup! My dog is the definition of a Velcro dog, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a helicopter mom who struggles to trust anyone with my baby. But from the moment she realizes we're heading to daycare, her excitement says it all -- she absolutely loves it there. I do occasionally check the webcams, and even if I can't immediately spot her, she's always near a staff member because she loves them so much. I know she's a handful with all her energy, but the team handles her perfectly. She not only loves playing with her friends all day, but she adores the staff just as much. When she comes home, she's exhausted -- in the best way! They've always been gracious with my sometimes crazy schedule, including last-minute daycare bookings. The daily updates I get while she's boarding are a lifesaver and keep me from obsessively watching her on the cameras all day. I truly feel blessed to have a place I can trust, but even more importantly, a place my girl genuinely wants to keep coming back to every day if she could. read more

Just to start- I felt that I HAD to write this review, because I was so pleased with their services! My wife and I were heading out of the country on a week+ trip and our usual relatives boarding situation was a no-go. My dog, Toffee, is a little over 2 years old and has a bit of separation anxiety, so we weren't quite sure how well it might work out by boarding her- she had never been boarded anywhere else. She's well adapted to hang out with dogs, but people, not so much as she's a little suspicious and distrusting of humankind. I thought that BratPak might be a good choice if we had to leave her somewhere for a while- that way she could spend her days mingling with other dogs, rather than being cooped up in a kennel all day, only being taken out for potty breaks. We first did a driveby without Toffee and spoke with Danica. She explained how the daily procedure works and where the dogs would be sleeping. We felt comfortable with that, so we set up a 30-minute interview bringing the dog in to see how she would fare with the other dogs. When she passed the test, we got the green light to leave her there for longer stays without us- the first being 45 minutes, then the second was 2 hours all in preparation of ultimately dropping her off for her 11-day stay. They have two large play yards, but they don't separate the dogs by size, they do it by energy level, which I thought was a better idea, since Toffee actually likes to play with dogs bigger than her. It was thoughtful that there was a plan to ramp her up for the overnight boarding experience. I really appreciated that. While we were on vacation, we could watch her on our cell phones, since they have cameras in the various yards. Every few days, we would get text message updates on how our pup was doing. It was very reassuring to still somehow be connected. All the counselors were great! It was easy to see that they all felt passionate about giving the dogs great care. Leaving Toffee with BratPak was a good thing for everyone. Now we know that we have a safe place to board our dog, where she can make new friends. It was good for Toffee, because it helped her to become a little bit more comfortable and approachable with people. Next time we're in need of boarding, we won't hesitate for a second about leaving her here again! read more

I was a little apprehensive about leaving my precious baby at day care after the pandemic because he was in quarantine for so long without seeing other dogs. I didn't know if he would behave and was scared he would get into fights. They did an assessment with Loki and took the time to explain his interactions with the other dogs. They're really good about keeping an eye of the dogs. He's been so happy to go to daycare and I can keep an eye through the cams. He's so tired after daycare that he sleeps for the rest of the next day. We love it here and I feel safe about leaving Loki with them! read more

We just completed our training with Sean for our reactive pup who pulls and barks non-stop during walks. We had hands-on training where Sean showed us the right way to handle it. We did a 3-day package and I'm so happy with the outcome. It's now on me to continue to practice the techniques. Sean is personable, professional and knowledgeable He's the dog whisperer. Our pup attends day care at BratPak too. I have never seen him so happy going to day care. He will race to the door when we get there to meet his favorite staff member, Greg. BratPak have great staff, great facility and great trainer. read more

The training is amazing. Sean is a true dog whisperer. We met to address some issues with my foster who seems to not do well with other dogs and we have been so hard trying to curve this and that day alone he must have seen 15-20 dogs and did so well, we were shocked. He went over what we need to improve on with the pup, showed us how we can help the pup succeed. If you are going to hire a trainer, trust me this is who you want to train with. Sean has so much logical information that you honestly have the hope, knowledge and tools to be successful. I have used him before on my previous pup and he helped us at that time teach Luke to be the most amazing pup, trained to perfection. Looking forward to my fosters success, as we had never had this problem with my other dog but we knew the best person to teach the dog and us how to overcome this was Sean. Thank you BratPak and Sean! read more

I can't say enough positive things about BratPak! The staff is fabulous. I know my pups are loved and well taken care of. If it's just for a day or for boarding, I know I can enjoy my day / vacation because my pups are in good hands. My pups also get very excited when I say "do you want to go to BratPak" read more

Deeply disappointed especially after using their services for about 2 years . Not all business can keep their customer service high as the initial time of joining or using their service. Flexibility - Absolutely no flexibility, its their way or 'no way' Booked a daycare for Sat april 29th, they asked to bring the dog early at 8 am since my dog dint do day care for 2 months, I mentioned about how far i live and that time wont work and if they can do before 11 AM as per the rules i can drop before 11 AM, my request was rejected as the owner got offended when I mentioned about their policies in my message. Their website says convenience for the owners but not true, complete convenience to them only. Vindictive : 1) Rejecting Service instead of working with the customer for a suitable time that works both for Customer and the Team. 2) immediately Blocked my Dogs Instagram account after rejecting my services, if they really like dogs they wouldn't have done this, I thought i was still trying to work out a deal with them. Policies : Extensive polices that you have to sign that works completely in their favor, to sum up their policies, if anything happens to your dog like anything its not their problem, you cant question them or sue them. Ego and Pride : Mentioned how i like this place and want to stick to them instead of another doggy daycare boarding, immediately rejected my service. Bratpak Team - your services are not free, if it was i wouldnt have asked a single question, since am paying and leaving my child at your place i have every right to ask options for flexibility, but rejectign services for asking questions speaks of your character not mine. read more

BratPak Dog Kamp - not true - not convenient to do owners - Pet Training Near Me - Livermore, California

Having just acquired a new pup, I've utilized their services a few times just this month alone. My 12 week old goldendoodle has been in twice for grooming with Virna. She is extremely thorough and took the time to get him acclimated to being washed and blow dried, while also checking out his nails and cleaning inside his ears. Everyone here is so good with dogs and treats each pup as if they were their own. In addition, Sean, the owner, has come out to our home for private training. We haven't owned a dog in over a decade and definitely not a puppy this young. Sean was very helpful in answering all our questions and giving us a brief "puppy refresher" course. I've also had a tour of their facility and have seen first hand how they treat each dog with the most care and respect. Sean is incredibly knowledgeable about puppy and dog behavior in general and I can tell he truly loves all dogs. My pup is too young for their daycare program (minimum of 4 months amongst some other requirements), but I can't wait to send him here to socialize and play. I'm so glad they opened in Livermore. read more

I honestly don't know what we'd do without BratPak! We rescued our dog Buddy in December 2019. He was weary of people, especially strangers, but he loves the handlers at daycare. We used to have to pick him up to get him in the car but now he hops right in and gets so excited when he realizes we are on our way to BratPak. This says a lot to me about the handlers, they are amazing and give helpful feedback. I am an extremely paranoid, helicopter "dog mom" and I completely trust BratPak and their handlers with Buddy. They also have live feed cameras that you can utilize anytime to watch your doggy playing. We also love the "cage free" concept. Buddy always has a great night's sleep after spending time at BratPak which allows me to take adorable pictures of him cuddling his toys If you are on the fence about bringing your dog, don't be! It's definitely worth checking out. read more

I really want to love this place - they have a great play yard and my dog loves playing in the little pool. I also really love that if dogs are there for boarding, they are only in their "rooms" for 9.5ish hours instead of 12 hours. This was is huge for me! But all that being said, their communication is lacking. My dog was there recently for boarding and I couldn't figure out how to connect with anyone to check on my dog while I was away - they don't answer their phone. I ended up sending a text message (per their outgoing voicemail) and they replied about 6 hours later with only a single photo. They also have cameras so you can view your dog during the day, but they rarely work. Everything is done online which is both a positive and negative. I love the convenience, but I couldn't figure out how to add a bath to my dog's boarding, so I sent an email. I sent it the day before I dropped my dog off and I didn't get a reply until 4 days later, a few hours after I picked my dog up... Overall, everyone there is really friendly, and they take great care of my dog - even when she goes for daycare. I just wish the communication was better. read more

Junior is two years old Westie, and he is very friendly with people but isn't with the other dogs. I saw Brat pack on Instagram. We had a plan to have a new puppy, so we decided to put Junior to take socialization classes. We like Seon's approach, and it works a lot. A few days ago, the new puppy came, so we enrolled private class for Junior and the new puppy. Before had a class, Junior and the new puppy, Cookie, were separated. But, after training, he changed his behaviors and no more aggressive. We appreciate it. And, we have another class on Thursday. We're looking forward to having it. read more

I had decided to return to BratPak to give them another chance for a grooming service but was denied this service due to my previous concerns over the cleaning and sanitation process of this facility. Instead of assuring me that the facility is doing all it can to make sure there are strict cleaning practices every day to ensure the health and safety of all dogs that go to this facility, I was turned away. At this point, it's almost as if my dog and I are blamed for patterns of an issue that I called to attention. I've taken my pup to many different dog parks, day camps, and boarding facilities after my last incident at BratPak and have not had a single issue. It's such a shame to have spent so much money here. read more

Fantastic Place for my Dexter (Boxer Pup). We have tried several dog camps and it always seemed to be boring to Dexter. He has so much fun at Brat Pak Kamp!

Can't say enough good things about BratPak! Thank you for your patience and understanding with my very anxious rescue pup.

The team is always very responsive when I reach out with various needs and they have provided such peace of mind knowing my dog is safe and happy when I'm at work. read more

When we board her we are always receiving updates and pictures which is the best feeling knowing Chanel is safe and having the best time!! This is Chanel's second home and she perks up every time we mention BratPak. Thank you for taking care of her! Best dog day care around!! read more

Bratpak is the best. I brought my Joey here to help keep him around dogs, after my other dog died. Joey had a blast. I was told he even let all the smaller dogs hang on and around him. I love the fact the dogs run free all day long. They are not put in kennels to rest during the day. I havent taken advantage of the boarding but will soon. I love there is a person who stays with the dogs all night. Game changer!! One day picking up Joey I mentioned I was starting to look for a rescue to be Joey's buddy. Lo and behold Megan who works here had watched someone throw two dogs out a car in Oalkand. That little dude is now mine. I have even won the coffee raffle. read more

Sean did a fantastic job helping me learn to train my very energetic puppy. I like his style of training. In two sessions I learned so much. My dog responded well to him and the strategies and tools he has given me are beginning to work! I have already seen a significant difference in my dog's behavior, now that I have put in the time and effort to change what I am doing. I highly recommend Bratpak for dog training. read more

This is a review for training. My Dog has also been for doggy day care and I have had nothing but great experiences as well. Shawn is a Pro at what he does. I have learned a lot from the training and have only had 2 sessions. Very informative and an eye opener for me! You will not be disappointed with anything at the Bratpak! read more

Sean has a wonderful demeanor and ability to connect with dogs. Our puppy responded well to his technique and personality. During the sessions, Sean took the time to explain the reasoning behind each step and was very knowledgeable, while also listening to our questions and concerns. We did the 3 part puppy session which was done one on one at our home. This helps keep the puppy stay focused without as many distractions and worked well for us. We look forward to more interactions and more training sessions of needed on our family's journey of raising a confident and well behave member of the Pak. Maggie is already looking forward to playing with the other Pak members at daycare. read more

Good facilities, well staffed. Pricing is reasonable. They keep a good eye on the campers. Excellent way to safely socialize our Dalmatian. Sean came to our house for training for a couple of sessions (so far) which have helped us with our 10 month old pup. He provides guidance on techniques, but more importantly, a general process that we can apply to any situation or behavior we want or don't want. We highly recommend Sean and the day camp. read more

I like that you can log on anytime to see them playing, and get great feedback. I would recommend BratPak to anyone in Livermore!!! read more

We happened to be looking for a nearby puppy daycare when BratPak put up their sign. BratPak is my dog's favorite place to play, and the trainers not only do a great job making sure all the dogs play nice together, but they offer great in home training services and overnight boarding. Their shop also offers a variety of high quality merchandise that the staff is very familiar with, and if you were going to pick up coffee after dropping off your pup, they have a coffee shop there too. We love BratPak, and we think you will too! read more

Over priced and incomplete. I called two weeks ago to schedule our grooming appointment. I was so impressed with the gal that answered the phone and set us up! Knowledgeable, helpful, flexible... When we dropped our pup off for the appointment the staff seemed confused by our arrival, voiced the groomer wasn't even there, and didn't ask if we had any specific style we wanted when they carried her away to the back room while being distracted and on the phone. Upon pick up the owners were there to greet us. They seemed very nice. The groomer came from the back with our pup in arms and handed her off with a mildly flustered tone stating "so, she doesn't like to be groomed." Once home we realized her paws weren't clipped on the underside and there was an attempt at putting a cute rubberband bow on her tail. It looks like someone gave up and the rubberband was just tangled in the longer tail hair which had to be cut off in order not to hurt our pup. We paid for a deluxe but have to wonder if her paws weren't clipped what else was missed that we can't account for? We're her anal glands expressed? Teeth brushed? read more

Thank you to BratPak Kamp & Kafé for being the best partner in helping train my pup, Indy. Being a pittie owner is a huge responsibility- not just because of the stigma but because they can be a high energy, stubborn breed to train. I got Indy wanting to create a goodwill ambassador for pitties and I needed some help (more than I knew.) Sean and the team at BratPak are so skilled at what they do and I'm so fortunate to be in the Livermore community with them as they build their brand! Sean and Virna were patient with Indy and I and created a completely custom boot camp to set her up for success (which is Sean's goal for all dogs at BratPak.) My appreciation is endless! read more
