He waits and cries at the door waiting for Thunder. It's been a great experience for us. When we travel, we also reach out to Thunder to board our dog. It's a great circle of trust, entertainment & support for our dog & us. We've been working with Thunder for several years now. He's a great guy and has a gift for working with dogs. We appreciate him and having him in our lives.

Thunder took my dog and my moms dog after a few aggressive fights between them. Both dogs had been…read moreslowly developing more aggressive behavior over time, and after their big fight they couldn't be together, when before they were best friends. After staying with Thunder for two weeks, they came back so much happier and calmer, and can now be together again. Would 100% recommend Thunder, he saved the family from a very stressful situation. Thank you!

I called these people several times and left messages. According to their voicemail they return…read morecalls in 24 to 48 hours. I received no return phone call inquiring about my dogs nails. I left two messages and I waited and waited. So I decided to contact the mobile pet groomers who are more expensive but reliable and they return phone calls!!!

Enter at your own risk ! You've been warned!

Overall, she's awesome to work with and Maya loves her and her treats!

Sabrielle and her staff truly understand and care about dogs.

The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.

My partner and I reached out to Megan after realizing that we were in over our head with our…read morenewly-adopted dog Juice, who was having issues with leash reactivity and acclimating to our resident cat. Megan was awesome from the jump - she responded quickly, patiently answered all of our (insane) questions, and showed us different exercises to help Juice learn to stay calm around the kitty. She has remained a fantastic resource through follow-up training and beyond by continuing to answer questions over email. Thanks to all of the insight that Megan gave us into Juice's behavior, continuing to work with our dog has become something we look forward to doing together every day. All of which is to say, Megan is the best and I can't recommend her enough!

I would give Tamara a million stars if I could. My dog Reese is people and dog reactive and very…read morehigh energy. We have worked with trainers to manage his reactivity, and he has improved so much with us - but he absolutely would not let anyone else come near him to put a leash on and walk him. We couldn't figure out what to do with him while we worked because no one could really get near him. We tried 4 other walkers over 5 months and I truly lost all hope - he HATED them all. I reached out to my trainer in desperation, who recommend Tamara. Even after explaining my dogs behaviors and failed walkers, she was still willing to take on the challenge. She came over to meet Reese and just sat on the floor with a million treats until he was comfortable. She then did this for every day he needed a walk until he was comfortable. She has been walking Reese for about 8 months and sometimes he even still has a freak out on her when he has off days. She never gives up on him, she is always patient with him and she even brings other dogs with her to socialize him on walks. Not to mention she has learned his triggers outside and avoids them or manages Reese's behaviors on walks. I do not know what we would do without her. I never would have imagined that Reese and her could be besties now - she even came to his birthday party. If you have a reactive dog, I would not trust anyone else walking them besides Tamara.

Vicky has opened our eyes to the reasons why he acts the way he does and showed us the techniques to use to correct him. We look forward to having Vicky come over and so does Mac. We thought he was just going to be one of those dogs that never learns, but Vicky has changed that forever. If your looking for a great trainer, someone with patience, someone who loves their job, and just an overall great person you have to hire Vicky! We love Mac even more now than we did before because of the good boy he turned out to be and we owe it all to her.

I dropped her off and was called 40minutes later stating that they were done but was unable to clip here finger nails because she was frightened. It was understandable. I picked her up and grabbed her in a rush due to me being on break for work. Once I got home, I realised that they actually cut her nails and lied because they hurt her. I noticed there was dried blood on her paws. I will not be returning and would not recommend their services. The workers could of been honest; I understand that mistakes happen but they should of owned up to it.
