And on the last day of class when all the dogs were testing out, my pup seemed to be over it and eventually just laid down and refused to do any more. The trainer laughed and sympathized with her and gave her some pets, telling her she was a good girl. I definitely recommend bringing your pup here for training.

We recently sent our 6-year old Cavaliers to Boot Camp with Wendy in St. Louis Park and would…read morehighly recommend this service. Within the first week the dogs were learning new commands, but surprisingly were calmer and happier at home. This has remained true several weeks after class ended. I believe the dogs appreciate that we can communicate and understand them more effectively. We found Wendy's bi-weekly human coaching sessions and emails to be helpful learning tools. Her style was approachable and informative. The dogs clearly enjoyed their time with her, too. When deciding on a program I did hesitate on the price, but overall found it competitive to other programs and justified by the support we received.

This is the best training facility! Their detailed daily updates, including videos, pictures, and…read morereports, are invaluable, especially seeing the continued progress! It's truly comforting to know your dog is being loved and cared for, particularly when you're missing them. We saw an immediate difference when our dog came home and even our friends noticed it too!

I originally scheduled time with another company to do private training, but when the trainer…read moredidn't show up for our appt I decided to looked at K9SF. Sam reached out and scheduled an hour long consultation to really gather info about my dog and her needs. He recommended a 2 week board and train and I also purchased 2 follow up in home training sessions. I immediately received calendar invites as well as text and email reminders prior to every appt. Sam was awesome! For the two weeks my girl Mae was in his care, I got daily in depth emails on her training and progress, along with a few photos. The follow up sessions were great too as it help to focus on things she still needed work on, as well as help me learn what I was doing wrong. Can't recommend Sam or K9SF enough!

We purchased a family membership in November of 2017 when our German Shepherd was 10 weeks old…read more We have been to the Puppy and Tweeners classes and also Puppy Prodigy which exposed us to some agility skills. We just finished up Tracking Level One and Level Two. All the instructors we have had I have thoroughly enjoyed. They are volunteers who have a strong passion for dogs and training. Jane & Rhonda were the tracking instructors who have extensive knowledge in what it takes to pass a test. My dog loves following scent trails! My son and I volunteered at an agility trial not knowing what to expect. It was super fun and we learned a lot about the sport. There is always something going on at the club!

I highly recommend Twin Cities Obedience Training Club for puppy training classes and some of their…read moreadolescence courses. They are able to break down some of the basics. The homework and techniques have been helpful in teaching my dog some foundational work. I believe TCOTC is also a popular location for brining dogs who want to learn agility. I do think the trainers get paid for the classes they lead, but it almost seems like they are all volunteers and there for the love of helping other dogs. I do feel the classes are helpful, but I also think there is some heavy overlap between classes - even though you are told to take some of them in a specific order.

These guys are family. I have bringing my dog Nora to Wag 'n Woofs since I rescued her almost 5…read moreyears ago. They have been absolutely amazing. I really appreciate that this is a family-owned small business and not a large chain like a number of the other local doggy daycare/boarding facilities. They get to know all of the pups super well. They are really "blossomed" the past year and a half in terms of offering tons of fun theme days where you can get photos of your dog dressed up and participating in activities (bunny ear photos and Easter egg hunt for Easter!) They also post fun updates to social media and have tons of cameras so you can check in on your pup throughout the day if you choose. They have helped me out soooo many times including when I have been running late for the pick-up or reaching out for a late reservation or an add-on service. The ability to be able to have Nora get groomed, nails clipped, and her anal glands expressed all during a regular day at daycare is amazing and so convenient. When we moved just over a year ago, we literally made sure to keep in mind the distance between us and Wag 'n Woofs because bringing her elsewhere was not an option. Thanks so much for all your team does!

It's fun to see all the pups play throughout the day. The camera is also how I know my dog likes some workers more than others and when he is (or is not) having a good time. With any doggy daycare sickness tends to travel around and my dog has fallen sick from daycare before. Something to be aware of. Overall a good daycare for your pet.

We had such a great experience with Bark Busters while training our dog, Ruby! From start to…read morefinish, their communication was clear, prompt, and incredibly helpful. They took the time to really listen to our concerns and made sure we felt confident implementing the training techniques at home. What truly stood out was their character -- patient, kind, and genuinely invested in Ruby's success. You can tell they truly care about both the dogs and the families they work with. We saw such positive changes in Ruby, and we feel so much more confident as dog owners because of their guidance. We're so grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend Bark Busters to anyone looking for professional, effective, and compassionate dog training!

Mike was so calm and confident with me and Bruce, and I swear Lydia had an answer for every question I could come up with. Since I met Lydia and Mike, Bruce has been an absolutely perfect gentleman: always respectful, waits at doorways, waits for permission to go on furniture, calmer, healthier, and more playful than ever. If you are looking for the way to tech your dog manners without missing out on an ounce of love, call to hire Lydia and Mike RIGHT NOW!

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I brought my two cats in to get spayed but didn't know that one was almost…read more7 weeks pregnant!!! Rather than CALLING ME to see if it was okay with moving forward, they ABORTED the babies and then CHARGED ME FOR IT. I have never been so frustrated, disappointed and sad ever. This is just pure animal cruelty. They should have called me to confirm if it was okay (I would have NEVER EVER said yes.) and not only that, they charged me an additional fee for something I would have NOT okayed. DO NOT GO HERE. Pure animal cruelty. This is absolutely disgusting that they did this.

The staff was very caring very concerned and very helpful giving me insight into boarding laws and regulations. I highly recommend this place. It looks very clean. There's a groomer next-door if your dog isn't clean and they are sister stores, and the grooming people next-door are just as friendly and just as helpful and for that I am very, very thankful as this is my first time traveling with my senior Chihuahua in the city. If you have a pup that needs boarding please come here they really CARE about your doggy's safety. Next time I'm in the city, I will be using this service as I frequently visit the twin cities. JJW

Our daycare experience was great, minus some turf burns on his paws but our boarding experience was less than ideal. When we came back to pick him up, there was this "hot spot" under his chin/neck area. When I brought it up with the staff at pickup, they weren't even aware of it. The lack of attention to detail on my pup is concerning as you could tell it had been festering for a few days. I hate that I am now left with this uncertain and uneasy feeling about his care there.

I have a high-energy, extroverted puppy that needs a midday power walk while my other dog is a shy senior who prefers short strolls.

Emma's also been a positive influence on my dogs -- they no longer bark/carry on when she arrives and are better walkers all around. I appreciate that Emma is so good with them, captures sweet photos on walks and (when necessary) goes through the hassle of getting them in/out of their winter gear. I highly recommend Resevoir Doggies!
