One of our dogs has anxiety, and we've found through experience that 99% of dog service providers nationwide do not have the experience, skills, or quite frankly the compassion to take care of him properly. When we first moved to town, we tried a number of commercial doggy daycare and boarding companies, and none of them had the motivation or desire to take the time to get to know our dog, and instead treated him like a "problem" dog, or "bad dog" right off the bat, thus giving us no desire or reason to trust him to their care. We are so grateful we found Canine Comforts. From the beginning, it was clear their expertise and philosophy towards dog care was unique and exceptional. They actually took the time to get to know both of our dogs and implement "introduction" procedures that would make our anxious dog most comfortable. They continue to provide high quality care each and every time our dogs are with them, and our dog's anxiety has actually been improving with each visit, and he is getting less anxious with every interaction. Not only do our dogs enjoy every minute of their time at Canine Comforts, it's clear that every single other dog there does too. One only needs to observe for a short time their operations, and how the dogs all interact with each other, to see that Canine Comforts provides a truly unique, safe, and happy environment for all of their furry customers. Canine Comforts are true miracle workers!

If you live in the Mosaic District and surrounding area and are in need of a dog walker/pet sitter,…read moreI would highly recommend Brittney! We were in need of a pet sitter for a day since we would be out for several hours and felt guilty living our Goldendoodle, Winnie at home by herself for a majority of the day. Winnie also got along with her two Golden Retrievers, Blue and Watson and was worn out all day from playing with them so much since they all shared the same energy level. Brittney is insured and bonded (always an important factor!), and all of her services include: time stamps, GPS tracking, report cards, and updates through photos! Her pricing is competitive for the area and she also offers new client and referral discounts. She also has a free consultation prior to understand your dog's needs and to answer any questions you may have.

I don't really know how to impress upon the rest of the world just how deeply Brittney and Blue Paw…read moreDog Walks have impacted my life in such a positive way, but I'll try. Brittney has been there every step of the way in my doggo journey - literally from the beginning! She was a wealth of dogmom knowledge and helped me navigate the crazy-scary-wonderful life adjustments I went through during the adoption process (shoutout to Lost Dog & Cat Rescue!). It gave me HUGE peace of mind knowing I could rely on Blue Paw if something ever came up at work or if I had to go out of town. She keeps me up-to-date on pretty much everything that happens, when it happens (including "report cards" - see attached photo!). I'm going to call it like I see it, because I live it - as a milennial professional in the NoVA area, I want to "have my cake and eat it, too" - I want to kick ass in my career but I also want to have an adorable furbaby and take care of him way better than I take care of myself. I don't want him home for 8+ hours a day without a good break. If I can't make it home for a midday walk myself, I know Brittney is able to save the day. I trust her completely - Cooper (my doggo) absolutely loves her, so much so that sometimes I worry he loves her more than me! But I have to admit that if he does, it's because she totally deserves it. Sidenote: I'm a brand new doggo owner, first time ever, and Brittney knows exactly how to make me feel better while I'm somewhere else feeling guilty I can't walk Cooper myself. She sends me plenty of photos and videos (once we even videochatted while I was overseas and homesick for my puppy!). This is also the perfect time to note that Brittney should maybe think about running a puppy photography shoot side gig, because her photos are basically professional quality. I'm just flabbergasted every time I open a new message and see Cooper looking like a model (see attached photo as proof!). It always puts a smile on my face when I get a message from Blue Paw! I am a loyal customer through and through.

We spent a lot of time reviewing our goals together and our trainer followed through with the plan that we set together. She stayed in constant contact with transparent updates about the puppy's progress and answered any questions we had. Given the puppy's breed and determination, she required quite a bit of foundational training. Since returning home, she's a pro on the leash (complete transformation). Walks are far more enjoyable - no more barking, pulling, lunging towards moving vehicles, and now has a peaceful relationship with the mail box and trash can. Another high priority was addressing the puppy's reactiveness to our child - puppy is now able to follow my lead during potentially chaotic interactions. Overall our program length was 6 weeks long and completely worth it. We are thrilled to have these foundations instilled by a professional who also cares for the dog. Highly recommend!

Our family highly recommends Controlled K9! We adopted our boy Mortimer last year after he had been…read moreliving as a stray, and we were really struggling when he came home with basic manners, reactivity, and having him settle in with our other dog. We ended up sending both of our boys for a six-week board and train with Kelia. It seemed to only make sense to send both dogs so they would have the same baseline training. Kelia was amazing! She kept us informed just about every day with videos and texts so we could see that the boys were happy and making progress. When Kelia brought the boys home, she spent a few hours with us, showing all the commands and techniques that she taught them, so we had a seamless transition. The "place" command alone has been lifechanging. (Although as you can see in the picture, they sometimes refuse to use separate mats, LOL.) We use the command before we feed them, initially when guests come by, and when we just need them to settle down a bit. It has reduced the stress and chaos in our house tenfold, and we actually can see the boys relax when they know they have a place to go and chill out. Kelia also gave us the tools to make leash walking and general obedience so much more successful. There are a lot of options out there for training. What set Controlled K9 apart for us was (1) our boys lived with Kelia, her family, and her dogs during training - they were not staying in a kennel and were in a real-life, loving environment, and (2) the promise of lifetime, free follow-up support. The boys have been home now for about 3 months. The training has stuck, and we feel like we really have the tools we need to make life pleasant for all of us, including the boys. Kelia has also proactively checked in to make sure things are going well, provided tips on the best way to reinforce training, and has responded quickly when we have follow-up questions, including offering a visit. Over three months later, we are still completely satisfied with the training and support provided by Controlled K9 and Kelia, and we would use them again in a heartbeat.
