We took an 8 day trip back East and normally we would leave our dogs at the kernel at our Vet, but since we've added a bird and puppy recently, we decided to give PetWatch 916 a try. Jessica kept us at ease and we never had to worry about our babies as we could tell by her daily texts and pictures she truly cared about our pets and we knew they were in good hands. We will definitely call them again for our next trip out of town that we can't take them with us.

I cannot recommend Tammy enough!! I rescued an 8 yr old chihuahua terrier mix back in March. He had…read morea skin infection, had bad kennel cough (he would sneeze out large amounts of blood) and was recovering from being neutered. I gave him so much love and attention. What I did not realize at the time was that I was setting him up with bad habits. I let him control our house and do whatever he wanted. He wasn't ruining our things and was potty trained so I figured why not. He then started to growl if we bothered him while he was sleeping and then he started to bite us. Once he started to bite our guests, I was horrified. He ended up biting my parents dog so bad that he needed to get stitches and I was devastated. I felt responsible for all this harm but I also knew if I returned him back to the shelter, he would probably be euthanized. I did so much research to see if this was fixable. That's when I found Tammy. Her background is phenomenal. She is knowledgable and trustworthy. She helped us understand that our small dog is acting out because he is so nervous and we just needed to show him that we were in control. When we left him for her train and boarding program, I was expecting him to wear his muzzle the whole entire time. I was shocked to find out that she only needed it for a couple hours. She had her own dogs and cat living with her but she was able to make him feel safe and control any bad behavior. That nice thing about going to her instead of a big company is that she will be with your dog to correct him/her whenever they act oūut. When Tammy brought him back he was completely different. He was a lot calmer and we could walk him without him pulling and barking at other animals or people. He was also finally able to sit and stay. I never realized how important sitting is until he was trained. She also trained him not to mark his territory so hes not constantly trying to pull us to pee on random things anymore. He just squats to pee whenever we take him out to pee. She has taught us so much about how to read dog behavior and gain control so our dog no longer feels the need to control. Once in a while he tries to test us and go back into his old behavior but her board and training comes with 5 separate hour long sessions. And shes also available over text. She has never made us feel like we're bothering her with our questions. You can tell she genuinely wants to help people train their dogs and is not in it just for the money.

Tammy recognized her issues in the first 10 minutes and made changes in her in the 1st session! Tammy taught us the correct way to run our dog on the treadmill and proper walking techniques. We live in south Lake Tahoe. Tammy said she wanted to make sure when our puppy was 80lbs she wasn't pulling us down on the ice and snow. Thank goodness! My daughter was 10 at the time and had no problem controlling our dog. Friends come over all the time and always comment on how good our dog is, we owe a lot of it to Tammy and her techniques! We are getting another ridgeback puppy next week and Tammy took time on the phone today to give me some tips. I will definitely use her again with this new pup! THANK YOU TAMMY!!!

When he was 10 months old, we enrolled our not-so-little pup in JPK9's Board and Train program. From the initial consultation and finalizing agreements to dropping Vander off, both Juan and Sarah made the entire process seamless and truly put our minds at ease. After just three weeks, Vander came home showing tremendous growth in his manners, focus, and overall behavior. Juan's dedication and passion for his craft speak for themselves through the results we've seen. What we appreciate most about JPK9, however, is the genuine care they show for each dog's growth and long-term success. This has become especially apparent through their Sunday training sessions. JPK9 has built a community of dog owners committed to growing and training their four-legged family members, and Juan and Sarah truly make that community feel like family.

Within a few weeks, we had a dog that could be in a large group setting around other dogs.

Juan truly cares about the success of each dog , provides ongoing group training, and follows up 1:1. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

My puppy is now 8 months…read moreold and has spent a total of 5 weeks here (3 weeks for board-and-train and 2 weeks for regular boarding). As a first-time puppy owner, I wasn't sure what to expect or if puppies just naturally outgrow certain behavioral issues. Either way, this is the only formal training she has ever had, and the results speak for themselves. She came back so incredibly well-behaved. And has reminded well behaved. When we go out in public, people always come up to see her because she's cute, but what they *constantly* comment on is how exceptionally well-behaved she is for an 8-month-old puppy. It is so validating to hear that from strangers! I love and fully agree with Anthony's methods and what he does here. If you want a well-behaved dog, Powerhouse K9 is the only place to go. Highly recommend! Full disclosure: I have a pure poodle and they are known to be smart. I brought her to PowerHouseK9 initially at 4.5 months, only weeks after adopting her so my reviews are specific to this. I cannot speak to any other situation or dog breed.

We enrolled our pit bull puppy, Daphne, in their four-week training program when she was about four months old, along with the Grow With Me program. Like most puppies, she was extremely energetic and still working on potty training, puppy nipping, jumping, house rules, and overall manners. Daphne came home like a completely different dog--in the best way! She was calmer, more confident, better mannered, and had a much stronger understanding of what was expected of her. One thing we especially appreciated was that no electronic collar was used during this stage of her training. After having a previous experience elsewhere where we felt one was relied on too heavily, this was really important to us. We also loved that Daphne received plenty of socialization and real-world exposure. Bridget took her into different environments, and we received regular pictures and updates on her progress and the areas they were continuing to work on. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and truly feel the investment was worth it. We're already looking forward to Daphne returning around eight months old for the next phase of her Grow With Me program and eventually working toward off-leash training. Thank you to Bridget, Tim, Amy, and the entire Clever Canine team for taking such great care of our pittie! We would absolutely recommend them!

We had maintained a nice foundation but felt it was appropriate based on a myriad of factors. We were placed with Emily and our experience was excellent. We knew Emily from many of our group trainings but had yet to do extensive one on one with her. Emily's approach is honest, consistent, soft (but firm) and very relatable. She was communicative in every way and made us feel safe. Given we had already done one camp we felt comfortable with the facility but each trainer brings their own nuance. Emily was clear and concise with each weekly update- she was really positive and had a ton of healthy feedback. Training is a huge investment of time and money.... Something we don't take lightly, but we have felt it was incredibly worth it both times. The continued support offered is 10/10, the communication is consistent and the general vibe is that everyone really wants to be there, including all the pups. Our dog has been home one full week, and we feel really good about the tools we've been given for continued success.

Pets To Go has been our neighborhood pet store since we first landed in Elk Grove, and we've been…read morecoming here ever since they first opened their doors. At this point, the people who work here genuinely feel like extended family. One of the things that makes this place so special for us is that it's not just a quick shopping trip -- it's something my daughter looks forward to. Brooklyn loves visiting on the weekends because she gets to pet the cats that roam around the store, and if we're lucky she might get to hold a bird or spend time with a guinea pig or bunny. It's such a fun, hands-on experience for kids, and the staff is always kind and patient with her. Over the years we've purchased supplies for multiple pets here, and they've helped us through several additions to our little reptile family. I actually got my first crested gecko from them when they first opened, then my daughter picked out her beautiful fire orange crested gecko, Blossom, and most recently we brought home Peachy Pete -- our adorable little "frog butt" crested gecko (he lost his tail at some point before we got him, which somehow makes him even cuter). What keeps us coming back year after year is the consistency. Everyone is knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to help without making you feel rushed or pressured. Whether we need food, habitat supplies, or advice, they take the time to make sure we leave confident. You can also tell they genuinely care about the animals themselves, which matters so much as a pet owner. It never feels transactional -- it feels like they want both the pets and the families to succeed. We almost always find what we need here, and honestly I'm so grateful they're right down the street from us because they've become such a trusted part of our routine. If you're looking for a local pet store where the staff is experienced, kind, and truly invested in helping you care for your animals, this place is a gem.

My wife and I were searching for a dog trainer form our 4 year old Frenchie rescue named Benny…read more Benny is awesome on walks but does not like people he doesn't know when we have them over to the house. What we loved about Wag Time and Don (owner and trainer) is that he does not use treats or shock. He employs voice and leash control. In reality Don trains YOU how to train! Honestly I was a skeptic! BUT we saw IMMEDIATE improvement during the very first lesson!! We have had 6 lessons so far, and Benny has come a long way! Life changing for us! Meet Don once and you will feel the same we do about him, his techniques, and his love for what he does!

They are being "worked " (trained) separately and, as of the past week (because it's getting dark so early and because it's now doable), they also get a long walk together. We have been at it about two months and have made significant progress (with lots of room for more!) Don't forget that it is up to the dog owner to do the work--neither Don nor the dogs can bear any responsibility for the lack of progress when the only way to improve the dogs' behavior is to be consistent in demanding (and enforcing) what you want. But Don is very patient with the dogs and me, so I can try to emulate his techniques with the dogs daily, between sessions.
