After dealing with pediatric OT and therapy over Zoom through the pandemic I wanted so much for something like this to work for him, he sounded like the perfect candidate based on their website. I wish I had recognized the toxicity sooner and stopped it. I do not want to publish personal details about my son online, however, since I can't go back in time and warn myself, I would like to warn other parents in my place. If you have a child with behavioral or developmental difficulties and are considering taking them to Healing Winds Therapeutic Riding Center, please don't.

We recently wrapped up nearly four years with The Vancouver Dog Walkers, and I can't recommend them…read morehighly enough. After welcoming our daughter at the end of 2021, we needed a reliable dog walking service for our dog, Molly. Our trainer recommended The Vancouver Dog Walkers, and it ended up being one of the best recommendations we've received. For nearly four years, Molly received two 30-minute walks each week. Now that I work from home and have taken over her walks again, I can truly appreciate the positive impact that consistency had on her well-being and behavior. Nick and Phil were both phenomenal dog walkers. They were always friendly, professional, and clearly cared about the dogs they worked with. Kris, the owner, is organized, responsive, and runs an excellent business with high standards. I also appreciate their involvement in the community. We joined their team twice for the Southwest Washington Humane Society Walk/Run events, which was a great experience. If you're looking for dependable, professional, and caring dog walkers, I would highly recommend The Vancouver Dog Walkers.

All the current active staff working at this specific location have demonstrated & proven how extremely capable & exhaustively knowledgeable as trainers, dog behavior specialists, groomers, etc. They have exceedingly created a trustworthy controlled environment setting that makes me reassuringly safe to entrust the safety & wellbeing of my 4-legged son. They have gone above & beyond for my puppy & I could not praise/thank them enough for their time, energy & effort to nurture my puppy's confidence & needs. Including assessing & addressing his trauma triggers being bullied as the "runt" of his litter, that occurred prior to his rescue. I am thoroughly enthralled with their most adorable & transparently informative daily report cards that are released after their daycare reservation. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to cultivate & nurture their doggo-puppers development & overall wellbeing (with a heaping side of well deserved spoiled treatment)! Will definitely be a continuing member, as long as they will have Beemo & I, after we officially move to the PNW.

WOW! What a difference three weeks with Taylor and board & train at A Dogs Best Friend can make…read more Holy smokes. We are so happy and very proud of our dog's progress and have so much to thank Taylor for. Folks send their dogs to board and train programs for many reasons. For us, we wanted support honing previously learned skills, learning recall, and curbing a few unwanted behaviors such as excitedly lunging and jumping at people, fence fighting, and barking. We were nervous about so many things. What would we do without our boy for three weeks? Would his sweet and playful personality be the same when he returned? Could we stick to it and reinforce his learning at the end of it all? The three weeks away were tough. But we timed it with a family vacation which helped a lot. As for the dog we picked up at the end; Ozzie is the exact same amazingly sweet and playful dog. But he is so much more confident, calm, and responsive. He honestly seems like a much happier dog. Almost like he feels and shares the pride we have in him. And with the tools and confidence it has given us, we can now give him the fulfilling life he deserves. THANK YOU, TAYLOR! We look forward to continuing this journey with you.

I first learned of Journey through a friend when my daughter was just a toddler. Her first…read moreencounter was watching the shows, which she absolutely loved! All the shows are top notch productions--my mother has said that they exceed her expectations for what she would expect at the 5th Avenue. The best part is that all shows are cast with students from the program. When our daughter turned 6, she begged to join the Journey Troupers. She has not missed a class or camp since in the last 5 years. A veteran family of seven shows now, we are hooked. This is the most interesting and challenging volunteer work I've participated in--I have learned and grown as much as my daughter. The staff is amazing and all the families and volunteers are pulling for one another. The classes teach students foundational and advanced skills alongside what it means to be a good citizen and team player. It is a magnificent confidence builder for any child. Because the students cast and crew all of the productions during the year, even the most stage shy kids can play a role backstage or onstage. I'm so glad we found Journey and look forward to many more years to come.

My husband and I are very impressed with the friendly, clean, safe and fun environment, as well as the competent staff that constantly interact with the dogs. They have webcams, which allow us to see how she's doing throughout the day, which is really reassuring. The staff here is very loving and patient with her and they make sure all the dogs get along well with each other. They also offer additional enrichment experiences, treats, training, boarding, and even grooming services. We really enjoy the "report card" and photo that they give her when she visits, which updates us with her progress and activities. Most importantly, Annie just loves coming here for daycare and always leaves very happy and exhausted. We highly recommend them for dog care!
