We appreciate him and having him in our lives.

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 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.

I have a large golden retriever who can be very specific in his needs. Tamara and her crew know exactly how to handle him and make sure he gets his walks. I also used Pets for a weekend dog sitter.

My dog is incredibly trained and so well behaved. People would ask me in wonderment 'how is your dog so well mannered??' and it's all because of Cindy.

I think this is a good kennel and my dog enjoyed it, but we can't go back now because they require…read moremore vaccinations than our veterinarian recommends. How can that be? They want an influenza vaccination, but my dog gets sick with her vaccinations and that one is not required by anyone else. I'm not going to risk her getting sick. I also couldn't take her to this kennel when she was less than a year old, because they required her to be spayed before the doctor recommended it. The doctor wanted her to wait until she had her first cycle, but this location required it even before that. I appreciate that they care about the health of the dogs, but I don't know how they can require things that go against the veterinarians recommendation. Very disappointing- we would like to be regular clients.

I wanted to switch up my dogs routine, so I decided to enroll her for day care. I didn't know what…read moreto expect and her interview day went really well! So I took her back for a second time, full day. When I went back the 2nd day, the facility smelled putrid. I understand it's an animal facility so it's not going to smell like roses and daisies but it was pretty bad even with a mask on, so ventilation is a concern at this point. My dog came back smelling atrocious. Again, dog facility, she's playing all day, she's gonna get a little stinky. She smelled like she was sitting in a dirty kennel for days, she was only there a few hours. As soon as we got home she went straight into the bath, her smell was offensive AF. Lastly, my baby unfortunately is now sick. Took her on Thursday by Saturday she was showing symptoms :-/ She is vaccinated for Bordetella and Flu, but she still got sick, her lungs sound awful. My dog is super healthy so for her to get sick after her 2nd day, it sucks and scary for me to even board her or bring her back. It's always a risk your dog will get sick just like kids at regular daycare. Would better sanitation/ventilation help? I dunno, maybe? What do I know lol Unfortunately, we won't be coming back Unfortunately, I think anyone that is looking for care for their pup... it's tough and scary to try new places. I think private care is probably the best route tbh after this experience. Take a chance but be aware of what to expect. The other review similar to mine are insanely consistent :-/ Update: I haven't had a chance to update. My dog unfortunately also ended up with skin bacteria resulting in a gross rash on her under belly/side. Fortunately, after some care and creams she healed up fine. Needless to say, not a great experience :-/

Jawaan has worked with multiple dogs in our family, so working with ESD was a no-brainer for us. We decided to send Athena to ESD for the board and train program as soon as we picked her up from the breeder. For us, this was perfect, and now, every time we head out of town, we bring Athena back to Jawaan (she doesn't even look back for me once she sees Jawaan) and his team. Your dog is not just being trained, it is being treated as if they are a part of Jawaan's family and that is huge for us! At just 8 months old, Athena is well-behaved around humans, both big and small, walks well on a leash, and is just an all-around good girl, all thanks to the entire ESD team!
