K9 Central is absolutely 5 stars! I have been taking my 7 month old dog Nina there for day care since April, and it has done wonders for her. Nina has insecurity and fear issues that render her afraid of other dogs: at K9 Central they introduced her very slowly to other dogs, with great attention compassion and care, taking as much time as needed for her to build confidence over time. She is now a happy camper who loves playing with all sorts of dogs! All of the staff is wonderful and caring, as well as excellent professionals who truly understand dogs. I am particularly grateful to Bryan who is a true dog whisperer. Nina was facing reactivity issues (fear and shyness NOT aggression) when she met with dogs and people she did not know. I have had dogs all my life but Nina's case required skills I did not have. Byran did an awesome job at training Nina to overcome her reactivity. Nina's response to his training exceeded our expectations and we are beyond grateful for this. Bryan also provided us with confidence and skills we were lacking to provide Nina with all the extra help she needed. Whereas before working with Bryan going on a walk was very stressful for Nina as for us, we now look forward to our outdoor walks as opportunities to continue to build on the solid foundations that Bryan laid down for us. It is such a joy to see that instead of barking and showing fear she is starting to look at us for a treat whenever there is a trigger --- meaning, to see that Nina has learned to disengage when faced with a another dog or stranger. We continue take her regularly to day camp since she loves it there, and this will surely help Nina to continue to gain confidence in regards to hanging out with other dogs. Nina is the most affectionate girl I have had, and we can now enjoy her fully. Thank you so much everyone at K9 Central, and thank you Bryan! read more

I've been training there and having my dogs groomed there for years. Top notch staff and facilities with amazing groomers. My dogs are happy there so I'm happy. Open 7 days a week with so many different training classes and events always happening. A great place to learn to understand your dog better! read more

This the the best place to board or groom your dog. These people are professionals and genuinely care about what they do. Even Dodger the yorkiepoo can't wait to go and get a fresh new look (see his photo). We won't take him anywhere else. read more

I just had to share how happy i was when i picked up my wheaton terrior from being groomed. We have been told how difficult he is to groom because he is afraid of water and loud noises such as blowdryers. I am a returning customer and will never leave k9 again. Barb ..... thank you for showing patience and doing a terrific job with our Rudy. read more

Staff are very friendly and know our dogs by name. Have taken many of the dog training classes and very happy with the knowledge of the instructors and the information that was taught. My dogs love the doggy day care and come home happy and tired! Highly recommend K9 Central! read more

They did not give our Benji his heart medication last weekend. The instructions provided were clear,according to the young lady who did the intake. They have not responded to either a voice mail or email sent this morning. Benji's pill box contained EXACTLY the same number of pills it contained when we left him last Friday. I cannot reccomend an establishment which not only made a serious mistake, but couldn't be bothered to respond promptly to a complaint about it. read more

Consistently good service - great grooming department. Facilities are unbelievably awesome.

We rescued a 6 year old old bull doggee in April of 2016 a good friend who trains and has had experience with rescues advised us to take Dozer to K-9 to be assessed. Even though Dozer was affectionate with us we really needed to know how he was with other dogs and needed to have a professional safe assessment. We made the appointment for the tour and then made the appointment for the assessment. Well Dozer didn't pass the assessment with the large group of dogs which is play day but he his ok with smaller groups which are the suites. We booked 2 more day stays 1 overnight before we went away at Christmas this year 2016 and he did amazing because his extended family at K-9 really cared about him. We knew from the first time we walked in the doors of K-9 that we felt comfortable with the staff how informed we were of Dozers stays. We feel so grateful we have a safe place/extended family where we can take Dozer when we go away. I would highly recommend. K-9 because your dog is a part of their family to. read more
