Thank you so much to Eliza and Nate at Towse! We have a 2 year old golden doodle Winston. Winston…read moreis the typical very excitable golden doodle that we had trouble controlling. We have friends over pretty often and Winston being his happy self would get way too excited and then jump on our friends, and then smother them on the sofa. We had to resort to physically holding him back with a harness. I'm 225lb and tall and he was still a handful. We decided to work with Towse because of all of their awesome reviews and after speaking with Eliza on the phone I knew he was in great hands! What they were able to do with Winston in two weeks of board and train is amazing! Winston is now able to sit, lay down, place (go lay down on his bed), as well as heel. Our biggest issue was the jumping and he no longer jumps on friends either. We had a lot of fun working with Nate and Eliza and even got to take Winston to Lowe's to train around all of the distractions which was awesome. Our tool of choice is the e-collar and slip leash. This combination makes it so you don't need to be constantly tugging or pulling your dog around physically to correct behaviors (like jumping). We recently had friends over and Winston is night and day different. He didn't jump on them and he calmed down much quicker than normal. We even took him on a 30 minute walk and he heeled the entire time. We've taken him to Lowe's numerous times on our own just for fun and to work around distractions. He's doing amazing. I've excitedly told numerous friends and family about how their awesome training. Their experience, knowledge and love for dogs really shows. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I've known and worked with Emma in the rescue capacity for several years. She is kind, honest and…read moretrustworthy. Through years of rescue, there are be very few people that I would trust with any dog. Emma is one of them. She's highly trained, emotionally intelligent and allows the dog time to trust her and open up. Recently, Emma became a foster for the rescue I volunteer with. She welcomed not one, but TWO euth listed Dogo Argentinos into her to help decompress, train and build up. One of the foster dogs had major medical, which she of course stepped up to ensure she gets to medical appointments. Emma is just an all around honest, good person and great dog trainer and boarder! I would trust her with any of my personal and rescue dogs. She's fantastic!

Shanice with Bark Mania is the BEST!! I've had many pets and many pet sitters over the years and…read morecame across Bark Mania randomly one day via an add she placed online. I am so happy with her services - cannot recommend her enough- she goes above and beyond for your pets! She loves our fur babies as much as we do and it shows. When she comes to watch them we get updates, photos and videos. We always have the peace of mind that they are being well taken care of. You might notice one of the pets is not a dog lol it's a Kune Kune piglet. I struggled finding someone to help with her, but Shanice jumped right in and is not only capable, but super caring and loves on the piggy just as much as the dog. Trustworthy and reliable services! Prices are reasonable and her communication is exceptional.

I want to let you know, we had a chance to use Shanice Henry, a local pet sitter we found on ND. She took two doggies for one week. Shanice has a great family, all focused on our dog's needs and owners comfort! An entire air-conditioned garage space, like a big doggie play room, clean, comfortable, sweetly decorated in DOG RULES theme, and very well attended. Shanice also makes sure exercise and snuggles are a big part of the day. Nervous parents, until same day, Shanice sent pics daily and was always accessible for changes or question if needed. We had not one concern, a huge relief! Shanice is flexible and firm in her skills set. Standards we appreciated seeing. Shanice also gave us advice on a behavioral problem we need help with. The final fee for 2 doggies was amazing, and our tip reflected the overall savings and pleasure given to us during relaxed travel. I RECOMMEND BARK MANIA, AND HOPE THE HENRY FAMILY BUSINESS SOARS!.

He was put in private time. How is that socializing a puppy? The reason I took him there was for socialization! I watched him most of the day in the cameras and I didn't see anything wrong. However, I did see a large dog on top of a smaller dog without supervision and I was told that was okay because they are siblings! I am sorry I wasted my money on such a horrible place.

I can't say enough good things about Lindsey!…read more We recently brought home a rescue that I knew would be challenging but had no idea how hard she would be. She was food aggressive, she was aggressive with our family - bit all of us at least once - attacked our other two dogs and literally went to the bathroom wherever she preferred. I'm not one to give up on dogs but knew that if we kept her we needed help! We decided that if we were going to work with one of our dogs - we'd also work with our other naughty dog to retrain him of his bad habits. IN THE FIRST SESSION we saw significant changes in their behavior! She is so knowledgeable, so professional, and she got my kids involved so they know what to do! We just finished our last session and I'm so grateful to her for all of the tools she's given our family to help our dogs be the best behaved versions of themselves! We still have our homework, and they still have a ways to go but this experience has been so amazing! Thank you girl, love ya!!!

We moved away earlier this year and were so SO bummed to leave such a great training and caretaking provider. All of her team is prepared to deal with difficult dogs and help reinforce good behavior, so all of our lunchtime visits included built-in training for our little pups. The team also sent photo updates and left detailed report cards every single day without fail. Lindsey herself is such a boss when it comes to training and is so so patient and welcoming. All of her own dogs are super patient too and were incorporated into the training sessions to help our little pups get used to being around other dogs. We (pups included) miss Lindsey and TLDSH tremendously!

EDIT 6/14/25: Leaving the original review below as a…read morereference for full context. I was contacted by Raul from guest services to hear my feedback and see how he could help. He fully owned the issues I had and followed up to help. They were able to find the toys (they had accidentally gone home with the wrong family, which I'm sure happens from time to time). I was offered a full refund and left the conversation with Raul expressing a sincere hope to improve my experience in the future. All that said I would try again at this location. ---------------------------------------------------- I went on a short weekend trip and brought my dog here for boarding. My dog is still learning and very over-stimulated by other dogs so we knew going into it we would be doing the private room boarding. We asked to see the room before we left and the staff member seemed hesitant to show us - I think maybe because they were still cleaning it up. The private room is just a concrete room the size of a larger closet, but we brought his dog bed and toys and stuff and didn't see an issue with it because it was way better than a kennel or something. Reasons for the low rating: - Lost toys: We dropped him off with a bag of food/treats, a dog bed, and a bag of his favorite toys (tug rope, football, 3 bones). When we picked him up, they had lost the bag of toys. We are a bit frustrated, as dog toys can be expensive. During the last day of his boarding, apparently our dog ripped up his dog bed to shreds. I am not blaming that on Mak Pack...my dog can be a little destructive especially if stressed or bored. But it did make me wonder if he had his toys with him in the room at any point. Since the toys were lost, maybe he didn't have anything to chew on and ended up ripping up his bed. - Poor communication. We were told we would get daily "pupdates". We dropped him off on Friday morning and did not hear anything until Saturday afternoon. Since this was his first time boarding, I reached out through the text number on their website multiple times and never got a response. The update we did finally get was very brief. He looked scared in the picture (which to be fair is expected) and the note said he was happy and getting lots of attention. I would have liked more detail - did he play with other dogs? did he behave? Is he eating normally? etc...I understand there are a lot of dogs so staff is probably busy but that communication would go a long way. - No bathroom - everything is indoor so there's no designated place to relieve themselves. In the private room they are let out about 4 times a day. When I picked him up on Sunday he immediately relieved himself outside as if he had been holding it in all day. I think most dogs would not want to go in the room they're sleeping in, especially if trained not to do that.
