Our dogs are not easy - we have a large anxious dog and a senior pup with special needs, and we felt great that we had someone we could fully trust with their care.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Carissa from Peace Love and Pups. If you're not an avid…read morereader and need a short answer, let me start by saying "Yes, she is the most amazing thing we've done for our pup and she is like family." 110% would recommend her to watch your babies like they are her own. For those who want a more in-depth perspective, here it is. This all started out with our 3 month old Golden Retriever needing for someone to come home at lunch, feed him, walk him and let him out to go to the bathroom. We tried a few different services but Carissa was "the one." We could feel the love she had for our baby and when I came home to see him after work he acted like he had the best day ever and it was a total secret. She cares. She gets to know your dog's needs, allergies, medications, preferences, commands, dislikes etc. She knows that not each dog is different and she's not just there to walk your dog but make sure he knows he has a midday friend. I love that after each session she sends me a detailed text of their time together including photos and videos! I live to get those updates. Tater is now 8 months old and doesn't need to be fed at lunch but we still have Carissa come once a week to be his "Fairy Godmother" and take him on a walk, play with him inside and outside, give him belly rubs and refill his water. It's just so worth it to know how loved and cared for he is when my husband and I can't be around. In summation, I would recommend Peace Love and Pups to anyone and recommend reaching out to meet your new dog fairy godmother.

Felt a…read morelittle traumatizing at the time, but we found a copperhead in our backyard a couple of nights ago. Magnolia steered straight away from it! Now, she's afraid to go in the garage where the boots and machete are located. Don't judge - we can't have another den of copperheads in our backyard after I was bit two summers ago. Thank you so much to Winter Kennels for helping us avoid another trip to the hospital, and even worse, a potential trip to the emergency vet. You were amazing! We will be back next year for a refresh. Literally, life saving!

With just one in home session with Luke, we've already seen a huge improvement in Frankie. Luke is extremely knowledgeable, professional and has a calming energy that pups gravitate towards. We learned so much in our first session and picked up great techniques that actually work! We also learned a few forage feeding games that are fun for dogs and allow them to tap into their natural biology while stimulating them mentally and also helping them decompress. Frankie slept like a baby all afternoon after our session and we didn't even have to leave the house!!! If you are looking for the best dog trainer in Austin, Luke is your guy!

However, he is A LOT of dog…read more We were looking for help to make him a more polite member of the family and a better citizen when he was out in public without resorting to negative training techniques or punishments. We've seen a drastic improvement in Eli's behavior and our ease in working with him over just two short sessions with Luke. We highly recommend Luke if you'd like compassionate, thoughtful, effective training for your dog!

Do NOT leave your dog here…read more First of all, two days before my reservation, I get an email from Amelia saying that she had seen my reservation request & fortunately for me, they had a last minute cancellation. I told her I had already spoken to and confirmed with 2 other people that I had a reservation for my dog to stay for a few days. I picked up my dog & he was so high energy (unusual for him, unless he hasn't gotten exercise in days). He was super hungry when I got him home, & he as well as the bed I asked to leave with him were COVERED in urine! He & the bed were both freshly clean before I dropped him off (just I felt so bad I left him there. Never again!

You can tell that the employees really love our dogs!!! They are so kind and patient!!! Their customer service skills always make my day because they take their time in assessing questions, concerns, and needs for our babies! I love that this facility is both indoors and outdoors. I'm very picky with who I trust with leaving my dog with she's my baby!! These people are truly some of the best people I've ever met!! My sweet Abigail loves coming and always whines with excitement when we pull up. A lot of the times she doesn't even want to go back home with me!! I could not recommend this place more. From the extremely courteous and kind owners, to the loving and hard working employees, to the perfect space of scenery with large yards to run in, and trails to explore. I'm so happy I decided to give this amazing place a chance!

Their program costs $2,500 at the lowest package level and that includes only six one hour in person visits. So the price is $416/hour for dog training. They will try not to give you a price upfront but rather ask you to schedule a "free 45 min evaluation" which is really a 45 minute sales pitch. I find these tactics disrespectful of people's time and these prices absurd. Most PHDs and many Physicians do not make $416 an hour. This is dog training, folks, not rocket science.

I always felt bad since they would spend so much time in their crates amongst strangers. I was immediately impressed with Shannon's level of professionalism and passion for our fury friends. She conducted a free 30 minute consult to meet the girls and they instantly connected with her. That is saying a lot considering my rescue spaniel is afraid of her own shadow. Shannon goes beyond the call of duty to ensure the girls receive plenty of attention while I am away. She also sends daily photos and provides a thorough update of her visit, including their potty breaks and any abnormal behavior. I now have Shannon "pop in" three days a week while I am at work. If you are looking for a trustworthy dog sitter with very reasonable pricing, call Godog!
