Her techniques work and my dog loves her! I use Hillary to walk my dog 5 times a week while I am at work. She is very trustworthy and I did not hesitate for a second giving her my key. Her prices are beyond reasonable and definitely better than anything else you will find in the Marina but she does not sacrifice quality at all. I have also used Hillary to overnight pet and house sit my dog while I went out of town on two occasions. Her prices were amazing, I came home to a happy dog and a house that was cleaner than I left it. Hillary is a calm and positive person and is excellent with every dog I have seen her with. Highly recommend her for whatever your pet needs are.

I highly recommend her.

Mark's genuine love for dogs and calm confidence immediately stood out--and Chance felt it too. Chance's breed is notoriously stubborn, but he met his match with Mark. Thanks to his training, Chance now comes when called, sits, waits patiently, and won't even cross the street unless given the command. He won't touch his food--no matter how tempting--until you say it's okay. And my absolute favorite? When you say "crate," he walks right in, no questions asked. Mark doesn't just train your dog--he transforms your relationship with them. I can't recommend him highly enough.

This place doesn't respect your business. I arrived at 7:02 pm and there was still customers in…read morethere and I was trying to just purchased a bag of dog food. This was nothing more than a one item transaction and shared that with the person who was speaking through the crack door. They did not remotely cooperate with me to allow me to get food for my pet. The associate said that there is no cash in the register and I wasn't trying to make a cash transaction. I get wanting to leave after a long day of work and I take accountability for arriving at 7'02. With a customer at the door who simply wants to purchase just one thing and not use a cash transaction, you should at least try to accommodate them. Do not recommend.

The stress became so intense that she even developed stress colitis after a routine grooming visit she had handled many times before. Nathalie at Les Pawtounes Dog Training was incredibly thoughtful and supportive through all of it. She didn't treat Kiki like a "problem dog" or use a one-size-fits-all approach. She really understood that Kiki was grieving, looked at what was driving the behavior, and gave me a clear, well-rounded plan to help her feel safe, calm, and more resilient. Everything was explained in a way that made sense, and I left feeling like I had real tools to help my dog. I'm so grateful for her compassion, knowledge, and care. If your dog is struggling with anxiety, behavior changes, or stress after a major life change, I highly recommend Nathalie.

I'm truly grateful for the time and care Nathalie put into our session. I feel much more confident and prepared, and I believe this has given both me and my puppy a great start.

We also worked with Holly for the puppy kindergarten class, which I would really recommend for dog socialization and fundamental training tips! We saw a big difference in her socialization with this class. Lastly, we did board and train with Kelli, who was great at taking care of our dog while we were out of town in addition to hands on training. Everyone at Karma clearly loves dogs.

They also regularly update with photos and emails to keep you in the loop which is very reassuring. Loki loves it there and is always wiped out when she returns. (She's been napping all day.

Unfortunately, this place was a HUGE disappointment and had a huge negative impact on our pup. Long story short -- Everything here is a sales grab. The few girls care for the animals but the "managers" and men there are just there for the commission of your packages. I had a whole conversation about their unethical sales pitching with the employee while picking up my dog lol. It's "how they keep the place open" - the employee's words, not mine. Astounding. Said employee also asked what I did for a living because I questioned their sales pitch tactics -- I'm in sales. Also, If you need their VIP services for your unspayed or neutered pup, please spend your money elsewhere!! Before committing to a membership, we did a trial day and spent hundreds on drop in days, grooming, and overnight boarding to see if it was a good fit for our high energy pup. Our dog is not neutered and we don't plan on getting him neutered so we chose their VIP rooms. His breed is also extremely high energy and they promised they could accommodate. I also inquired about training multiple times and they kept saying the trainer would contact me. Everything went great after those few visits, they seemed caring and said he was a great fit for a membership so we end up signing up. Then everything went downhill. Upon the first day of the membership, our dog all of a sudden had behavior issues and needed to be picked up. In the middle of my work day I call the shift manager, and he states that if we want our dog to stay, he needs training ... (from their same trainer that I've inquired 3x about before committing to a membership, still haven't heard back). I asked why this wasn't communicated ever before committing to a membership and they didn't have an answer. I informed them that I would've paid for training before committing to a membership if they would've let me know that there were any issues. Our dog went a couple of more times until they could finally get me in touch with the trainer, 6 visits later. Actually I had lost complete trust at this facility. To add insult to injury, I was able to speak to one of their actual workers that is with the dogs and she let me know that our dog is only let out for about 10 minutes at a time, maybe 3 to 4 times a day during a 12 hour stay. This is their VIP option. So not only is he left in a room for about 12 hours a day, with dogs barking all around him, he's not being stimulated nor played with just being let out to go to the bathroom. Contradicting everything they say that they offer. Their "trainer" is also a joke. He is supposed to be from the Marines and well-versed in the breed of dog that we have. Upon washing him for 5 minutes, as I was told, he said that our dog needed to be neutered before he could be trained because of his energy. Our dog is a Malinois and is not supposed to be neutered before 2 years of age. We've since went elsewhere to get our dog trained from someone who is actually educated on his breed and he's worked on all of his anxiety and reactivity issues that our pup got because of this place.
