After being disappointed with several area boarding facilities, we finally found Almost Home. We…read morehave been extremely satisfied with their services, and our pet literally runs to them when we drop him off! There was paperwork and required veterinarian records that had to be arranged before confirming our dog's first stay, and their requirements are stringent (I'm personally okay with this this as it means safety for my pet when he stays there). If you have two dogs that are comfortable being boarded in the same kennel, there is a discount for the second dog. You can bring your dog's own blankets or bedding, or use what is provided. You are required to bring your dog's food and instruct them regarding their feeding schedule. They take your dog out several times a day and let it off leash to play in their secure area. They are open 7: 30 AM til 6:00 PM weekdays, and are closed on Sat and Sun. The do have two pickup times (9AM and 5 PM) on weekends for an extra fee of $15. If interested, they also provide doggy daycare, grooming, and dog training. are very popular and fill up quickly during peak vacation season and on holidays. Book early!

When we recently cared for our beloved geriatric dog, Katie was there to offer advice and encouragement. When our dog died, Katie mourned with us. We now have a rescue dog to go along with our anxious doodle. Katie has helped us acclimate our new dog to our home and to day out, while continuing to patiently put up with the doodle she has cared for since he was 6 months old. I can't imagine taking our dogs anywhere else.

I felt like no one could see how amazing my dog was because how reactive she was. I met Jennifer at Puppy Palooza and soon after I scheduled a free consultation. Jennifer suggest their 3 week e collar program for Clarke. And after the first week there I was blown away. I can now take clarke with me anywhere I go, we even go on hikes where she only wears her ecollar because her recall is perfect. Jennifer and her team change our lives and They taught Clarke & I life saving obedience skills and how to work with Clarke anxiety. Everyone who meets clarke is blown away now and I can say she is so much happier now too. They are currently now training our second dog :)

When my dog became paralyzed in July, our previous groomer at the Humane Society Eastpoint nearly…read moredoubled our price... I was never totally happy there anyways so I did some research and found the Pet School & Hotel. I swear I don't trust anyone else to groom my special needs dog. It is a small business which I love, it truly reminds me of home. The staff and owner are always so kind and they treat Charlie like they've known him forever. The groomer always does exactly what I ask and Charlie comes home with a cute seasonal bandanna. The small detail really means a lot to me. The prices are also incredibly affordable... I would recommend this business to anyone in Louisville. I am about to move to a different area of town and I will gladly still make the drive to this place.

I am not sure if Mary or Ruth are no longer involved, and if so, that may explain it. We picked up our dog and she was clearly very ill. She was limp and lifeless in the car. We went straight to the vet. She had a 104.5 fever and ended up spending the week at the vet. I called to ask how they could not have noticed she was so ill. I got a note of apology, which I appreciated, but they really missed this one. We have since moved to another kennel.

After the very first visit, I was astonished and how well my 6-month-old Golden Retriever responded. I went from being frustrated and, honestly, disappointed in myself, to one of hope and excitement for our future. It is some of the best money I've spent. It was an investment that has give me a return of more than I could have ever dreamed of. I know that I have Doug's support throughout Zahra's lifetime and that, to me, is priceless. In my opinion, you will find none better than Doug with Bark Busters. Zahra and I are forever grateful we found him through the recommendation of my nephew, who used Doug for help with his Giant Schnauzer. You will not be disappointed, I can promise you that!

WORTH EVERY PENNY AND ASTONISHINGLY FAST!…read more Doug Rountree with Bark Busters of Louisville is fantastic! In the first hour, he completely changed the way we interact with our dog. Before we began the training, our puppy was lovable but demanding and thought she was in charge of our whole family. Practically 90% of her behavior problems (like mouthing/biting, barking, jumping on people, pulling) are virtually gone in less than a day! The rest are already much improved and I'm sure those will continue to get better as we reinforce our expectations with her. Our home is a much more peaceful, enjoyable place and our pup definitely seems happier and less stressed now that we have set clear, consistent rules in a language that she can understand. I love that it's done without treats or physical correction but instead uses how dogs naturally communicate to change behavior. Thank you Doug!

Kathleen is an absolutely wonderful dog trainer. She truly understands the reasons why dogs act a…read morecertain way. Her training methods are very accommodating, easy to understand, positive in that they don't hurt the dogs or make them scared, fun for humans and dogs. She focuses on creating a strong bond with your pup and that bond will help your dog learn. She has been able to help me train my middle aged handicapped dog and my blind/dead senior dog, my middle aged handicapped dog is too smart for her own good but since I have been using Kathleen my dog has gained so much more confidence in her mental and physical abilities. My senior dog now looks forward to training and the mental simulation that Kathleen promotes during her sessions. Believe it or not she can make really old dogs learn new tricks. She also makes dog training easy to understand for humans and really breaks down each step of the process. She is absolutely fantastic and I would recommend everyone use her. I think this is what makes her stand out as a trainer.

Our 5 yr old dog was pulling me during walks, was very excitable when we had people over, would not stay out of the kitchen & pestered company for food as we ate. Amazingly, all of these issues were addressed & Tuck is simply much more pleasant to take walks with, have others into our home & I can even cook in peace. Tuck is very responsive to the commands that Justin taught him. Justin's communication skills are great. He sends "pupdates" often when your dog is being trained, spends a good deal of time with the Owner when we picked him up & has followed up with us to see how things are going. We highly recommend Justin & K9 Trainology.

I have taken him so many places since and am just blown away by his behavior. Truly the best thing I ever did for my boy!

Like their big sister Willow, before them, this give them freedom and us peace of mind. Our Louisville Rep, Chris, was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and professional. And since the latest install at our farmhouse, he has been very responsive and available for questions and adjustments. I encourage you to carefully follow their prescribed training, balanced against your dog's temperament, and closely monitor your dog's understanding of the boundaries and the system, especially in the early weeks/ month. When done properly, over time, it will give you and your pups years of enjoyment. I highly recommend Invisible Fence and ask for Chris!

We hired David and I couldn't believe a week later him and his wife Carrie was here as promised…read moreinstalling the fence around 8-9 acres of our property! They were very professional and helpful. When I had concerns about the wire and placement in a certain area he was more than happy to go along with my idea, it was really nice having someone listen and go that extra mile to make me happier! When the fence was done he trained me on what to do. He walked one of my dogs Hollie around the yard patiently training her (and me) to the flags. The fence install and training took between 8-9 hours. They mentioned that if I had any questions or needed any help to call. We couldn't be happier, we have 3 dogs of which 2 had been on a wireless pet safe fence which meant they could only go within 90 foot of the transmitter. They actually have to be trained that they can go farther. Tonight we took them two dogs, Bear and Domino, around the property and I can't believe how excited Bear was, he wagged his tail and pranced with excitement the whole time and when he seen the flags he didn't want to get any closer to them. Domino is more of a scaredy cat and I will have to coax him out of the old zone frequently this week till he gets use to it. They both remembered the flags from 5+ years ago with the pet safe fence. It really showed me how smart they was! I'm so happy that now Bear, Hollie, and Domino gets run of the whole 9 acres, not a 180' circle! I'm thrilled with the warranty, and that it's made in the USA. Thanks a million Dave, I'm glad you sell Dogwatch fence!
