Our rescue dog turned out to be super reactive toward other dogs and it was totally new for us to have to work with.

It's something we have to constantly work on but we feel prepared that we have the right tools for training now. We've even been able to successfully foster multiple dogs as his behavior improves and he becomes more confident. I definitely recommend checking out the classes here!

They love to play with each other but were starting to knock things over, jump up on people, jump on furniture, and chew everything! The puppy package of 5 sessions did wonders!

They also learned not to jump on people and are very calm during feeding time and no longer try to steal each others food. One of the things we like best is that Laurie comes to the house to train them in their own atmosphere. We are now equipped to handle any future situations that may arise since we have learned the proper training method.

He's not only learned and continued to obey his commands but as a whole he's become a more obedient and receptive dog. I did appreciate how you did not let us get too optimistic during the training. Boy did he deliver tho! We took to heart continuing the training once he was done and it's worked great. Only two small recommendations, one is to have written commands on maybe a 3/5 laminated card and two, how bout a graduation certificate! Awesome job Gustavo and team!

I've held off on leaving this review in hopes that the owner of Camp Bow Wow would reach out to me…read moreas promised. He never did -- which says everything you need to know about how this place is run and how little they truly care about the dogs in their care. On May 10th, I dropped off my 4-month-old golden retriever puppy, Doug, for daycare. Around 4 PM, I got a call from a staff member named Anna saying Doug had been injured while playing and was bleeding. She said I "may want to take him to the vet" but left it up to me. Naturally, I was shocked and immediately asked, "Is he okay? What happened?" They said his gum was punctured while playing with another puppy. Okay -- accidents happen. But here's the kicker: this happened at NOON. They waited FOUR HOURS to tell me my puppy was injured and bleeding. That is completely unacceptable and irresponsible. I asked why there was such a delay in notifying me. Anna -- who had just gotten into work -- apologized and said her manager was present when it happened but chose not to contact me. Let me be clear: I am trusting you with the care of my young puppy, and when he gets hurt and bleeds, you don't even have the decency to call me immediately? I was livid. Not only was this dangerous for Doug, but it also put me in a horrible situation because my regular vet closes at 2 PM on Saturdays. Instead of having the option of taking him to our trusted vet, I was left with the much more expensive and time consuming (who wants to make their nervous pup wait hours at a vet?) option of an emergency vet -- all because they didn't pick up the phone. I told them I'd be right there (I live 5 minutes away), and as soon as the manager found out I was coming, she left. No accountability whatsoever. Anna was amazing -- the only bright spot in this disaster. She was sincerely apologetic and even admitted they've had ongoing management issues. She told me the owner, Nick, would call me on Monday and even offered to cover vet bills if I took Doug to their preferred vet. That call never came. The next day, I got a call from Sienna (I believe that's her name), who apologized for not calling sooner and for leaving before I arrived. She claimed the delay was due to her "reviewing the footage" -- which is a terrible excuse. I made it clear I didn't care how it happened, just that someone should have told me IMMEDIATELY. She agreed she had no excuse but still managed to shift blame by saying Doug was playing more roughly than the other dog. He's a puppy. They play rough. That's expected. Don't try to blame a puppy for your negligence. Again -- this isn't about the injury. Accidents happen. I completely understand that. What I don't understand -- and won't accept -- is the complete lack of urgency, transparency, and responsibility. I spent the weekend flushing Doug's mouth, cleaning up blood, and watching him like a hawk because you failed to do your job. Luckily, Doug is okay -- his regular vet advised us to monitor him closely, as antibiotics are not ideal for such a young puppy. But the real issue? Not only did Nick, the owner, never call me -- even after being told I was expecting it -- but I haven't heard anything from him to this day. I did get an email from another staff member asking how Doug was doing, and I responded that he was better but never heard back. No accountability. No follow-up. No professionalism. It's heartbreaking because Doug loved daycare. He had so much fun and would get excited every time we pulled into the parking lot. But thanks to this experience, we can no longer trust anyone else with his care. You've completely ruined that for us. And you've also lost what would've been regular business -- we had planned to use your grooming services and board Doug for an upcoming trip. Not anymore. To top it all off, if you watch the live cameras, you'll notice that most of the time, the staff is just sitting around chatting -- not watching the dogs like they should be. Extremely disappointed, furious, and heartbroken. Do NOT bring your dog here if you expect them to be well cared for. Because if something goes wrong, you may never even find out -- until it's too late.

She's very old now but I still bring her because she enjoys it so much even though she is crippled with arthritis now. I pay a little extra for her to get 15 minutes of snuggles when she's there and she is a very happy puppy. They are diligent about giving medications exactly correctly and anything else you could want from them. I love this place and my dog loves this place. It's so much better than just boarding a dog in a little kennel where it's miserable for weeks. Here they are allowed to play all day and they are not stuck in kennels except perhaps at bedtime I'm not sure how that works.

He was calmer and well on his way to learning to behave and walk on a leash, sit and stay, etc. After a weekend with us, Sandy took him home and perfected his training to a level we were really happy with! She also dropped by to show us some of her training skills that we could use to keep progress going forward at our home.

About a month went by and I needed to find somewhere to board our girl as we had a family trip planned to Hawaii. I contacted Kelly for a recommendation and she offered to board our pup and start training her! Anyways, long story short, we came home to a totally different puppy. Now the tough part, Kelly had to train me! We are still working together and I am learning more everyday about how to be the pack leader. Portia is thriving and we are so happy to have a dog that actually listens. We are going to start off leash training soon and I am excited to see how we progress. I highly recommend Kelly and the added bonus is that her awesome puppy Dean comes to some of the training sessions too. She is in central SD but I think she will travel a reasonable distance to work with you and your doggy!

We originally went to All Dogs to help our older dog with reactivity. He spent most of his life in…read moreour house with a large yard and while he was somewhat reactive on walks in our neighborhood, my abilities to follow training books worked. When we moved into an apartment complex, he became extremely reactive on walks and needed more frequent walks because he no longer had the option of zoomies in the backyard. I did what I could but my efforts just stopped the behavior, it didn't seem to help with his stress. He wouldn't bark at people or dogs but he'd still be super stressed out when we passed them or were near them and it was just unavoidable in that neighborhood. After his training there, the difference was insane. He was so much more confident and definitely got to actually enjoy his walks. That alone is worth 5 stars but hold on, cause there's so much more. We've moved to a country in Europe. We thought we had everything taken care of for his travel but found out a week before departure that an i or a t had been missed and we wouldn't be able to take him with us. All dogs boarded him and took such good care of him. They were so incredibly lovely. We dotted that missing i, crossed the missing t and my husband booked a round trip to pick him up. After a 15 hour + journey, he found out there was yet another issue and, once again, our boy couldn't come home with us. AGAIN All Dogs were so helpful and accommodating. They're still looking after our boy as we have to wait a few more weeks before I make the round trip to pick him up. If you want to entrust your dog to a group of people who genuinely care for and about your baby, this is the place to go.
