Walter chilling at daycare

We adopted a 5 year old Yorkshire Terrier rescue a few months ago He was so anxious on walks and had leash reactivity to people, dogs, mailboxes, anything. Our walks were stressful for both us and Walter. I started researching trainers and has a some preliminary discussions with a few people. Nothing really clicked. That is until we spoke to Amanda. Just minutes into our first conversation, we felt right at home with her. Amanda is kind, caring, upbeat and knowledgable. We set up a two hour training session. In that time, Amanda gave us some training exercises and we discussed board and train. We booked a 2 week board and train a few weeks later. During that time, Amanda and her amazing team had Walter going! Daily training sessions, pack walks, hikes, and doggy daycare. Amanda and Walter met up with us several times in our neighborhood for walks. We learned how to properly walk him (contrary to popular belief, walking a dog is not always intuitive!) and how to proactively look for his triggers. Amanda and her team sent pictures and videos while he was away. Since Walter has come home, we have continued our training. We also send Walter to weekly FurryTales doggy car care. And we are boarding Walter there when we go away. Walter's second home is Amanda and Daniele's home . If you decide to add a dog to your family, whether puppy or an older dog, I wholeheartedly recommend getting some training with FurryTales. The change in Walter in just 3 months has been incredible. We love FurryTales!!!!

Great pet facility. They took care of my cat and dog when we were away for a week and the…read moreintroduction process was great. Everything was well explained, discussed every detail. They were so kind in answering every and all question I had about my fur babies. Really great place. And clean too. I saw them mopping up twice, just when I was there. When it came time to pick them, it took them time to get both of them. But I did not tell them I would be back early on a Sunday. And there were other pets waiting. But they were very prompt and safety comes first so I definitely can appreciate. For this reason alone I would continue to use them. Along with the way they make you feel welcome and comfortable. May not be the cheapest option, but its the safest and only one as far as I am concerned.

Stopped in tonight with questions and hoping to see the facility. I have two small chihuahuas. I am…read moreout of town often and have always wondered what this place was like. From the street you can see 10 or so dogs unsupervised locked up in a room. I mentioned to the young lady at the desk that I have two small dogs that would not fair well being put in the room with the general public. I was then informed that there were private rooms. I said that might be an option and asked if I could see one. "Oh no, we don't let the public in there are pictures online." I asked her if she was serious and thought that I would just drop my dogs in a place site unseen and leave them. She responded with an attitude that people do it all the time. I asked her " assuming she had a pet" as a pet owner, would you just leave your dog in a place that you have only seen pictures of? Are you kidding? I can't understand how any responsible pet owner would drop their dog off in a place that they were not able to see with their own eyes. What a disappointing first encounter with River Pet Resort. In my mind, If you are a well run, properly staffed, legit and clean business you should want nothing more than to encourage potential clients to see your facility and show them around. Seems shady to me. Anyone who accepts the pictures on line as confirmation that they are leaving their pet in clean and safe environment should probably not be a pet owner. Would you leave your child in a facility that you have never seen before but was told there are pictures on line? I would hope not!

K9 Boot Camp

I could not recommend Emily and her team enough. Words do not capture how wonderful K9 bootcamp is…read more I do not think I can properly articulate how reactive my dog Jabu was. Any squirrel or dog and sometimes human that passed us by would lead to a huge explosion. Multiple times I had neighbors come outside to ask us if everything was okay. It got to the point where I was driving about 20 minutes to abandoned parking lots and other areas where I knew I wouldn't run into anything while walking him. I knew he needed training - and fast. I was comfortable with Emily from our first consultation. It was evident to me that she had deep knowledge of dogs and their psychology, she was professional, and I could tell she loved dogs. She took on the challenge of training Jabu with no hesitation and our lives are so much better for it. He was gone for several months because his reactivity was so bad, but I never felt in the dark about what was happening. Emily always sent me pictures and videos of his progress, and she responded quickly to questions. Once Jabu was trained, it was time to train me. During our lessons together in the handover process, Emily continued to be professional and patient .. even as it took me a while to learn the commands and how to handle Jabu. She shared so many memories and stories of Jabu over the months... something I deeply appreciated, as I missed him so much while he was gone. Every time we went for our lessons, Jabu was excited to see Emily again. He would run to her, tail wagging, ready for some love. I could tell he really felt comfortable with her, trusted her and loved her, and that she loved him and cared for him as though he was her own. Honestly, I think he might even miss being at training school!!! As for his behavior... WOW. What a miracle. I used to turn into a track athlete and run in the opposite direction any time I saw anything that moved. Now, I walk with Jabu at a leisurely speed because he's focused on me and not on hunting other four legged creatures. The dog that used to blow up at dogs 100 feet away can now sit two inches away from another dog... with no reaction. Today, we walked past THREE dogs at once... and nothing. It's incredible honestly and I could not thank Emily enough. I am so grateful to have found Emily and the rest of her team (who were always so kind when I visited the office and seemed to love Jabu too - thanks guys!). Without them, I would still be driving to abandoned parking lots and sheltering Jabu inside as much as possible. Instead, now I'm looking forward to one day taking him on my hikes with me because I know he can handle it. Thank you thank you THANK YOU Emily for training Jabu and allowing us to have a healthy and happy life together. To anyone who is considering working with K9.... Please do it, you will not regret it!!!

Please save yourself the trouble and stay away from this place…read more I wanted to give this place a 5-star review however after paying for more than $1750 and a few months of onboarded training, as well as a few months of in-home follow-up visits, my dog was still not trained. I tried to schedule additional home visits with the trainer but first, he had excuses to not come over and after a few more times he stopped replying to my messages.

She is a timid cat with a…read morelot of fears and some very specific quirks -- like not being able to be left alone overnight -- that past in-home sitters have ignored, leading us to be stressed and upset on trips and our cat even more so. We haven't had a single trip that's gone without major issues because of sitter neglect and lack of care. We decided to try boarding to help with our cat's separation anxiety and we still can't believe how well it went. Communication and expectations were open and clear, and the sitter went above and beyond to make sure our cat felt safe and cared for, even with her timidity and fears. She did so much to ease her anxiety and help her in the stressful situation of unfamiliarity and interrupted routine. It was a dream come true to find someone like this. I was also reassured by concluding a contract with the company, which clearly stipulates all provisions of the boarding and when we'll receive updates/photos, etc. It eased our minds so much compared with past experiences when communication was totally sporadic despite someone living in our home. We will absolutely book through them in the future. Their professionalism and dedication were so appreciated!

As everyone who owns cats already knows, you cannot introduce cats like this. And how did I find out? The cat was in the background of the update photo she sent on night one. I insisted on a full refund and rightfully received it, but have heard absolutely nothing from management (Ed), no apology from Anna B who "didn't know what the big deal was" and got zero responses to my two emails. Very disappointing experience. I cannot speak for other sitters or managers, but based on my experience I'd recommend choosing another boarding company!
