Andrea has changed the game for us. I have a 1.5 year old field English Setter who is incredibly…read moreprey-driven and generally overexcited outdoors. We came to Andrea with zero outdoor recall and no leash manners whatsoever. A few sessions in and we're already seeing major improvement thanks to Andrea teaching us about whistle training, trying different tools, teaching us commands that work with my dog's (very busy) brain, and making sure we're balancing his physical exercise with mental stimulation. Today at the park, my dog came when called on the whistle every time I called him. Yesterday, we took a 20 minute loose-leash walk... these things was unimaginable two months ago when we first met with her. Andrea is empathetic, patient, realistic and relatable. No shaming here. We have met with three other trainers, two of them insisting that my dog was "too far gone", one refusing to work with him-- not the case with Andrea. She has brought me so much hope and has significantly improved my relationship with my challenging dog. I can't wait to keep working with her to see how much more progress we make.

I would highly recommend Pooch Play to anyone.

She's very reliable, resourceful, and most importantly knowledgeable when it comes to dogs. She's the dog whisperer. My puppy Victory literally worships the ground Victoria walks on. If you are serious about having your dog trained well hire Victoria. If you're a first time dog owner, buy 12 sessions. We've come a long way from where we started. Victory and I went from the puppy struggles of her crying relentlessly in her crate to me now being able to be in the same room while she's in her crate and not crying. The struggles of leash training to now being able to eat out on the patio at restaurants. Investing in your dogs training is so important. I promise you you won't be disappointed by hiring Victoria as your dog trainer.

Tom came to our home, evaluated him, and then worked with us on his property. After just three sessions, our dog was a completely different dog -- calm, respectful, and finally able to just be part of our family. We are so grateful. I don't think we'll ever be able to thank him enough for giving us our dog back and giving us hope when we were out of options. Tom and Heather are phenomenal people -- genuinely kind, patient, and incredible at what they do. If you have a dog that bites, is too aggressive, or you're at your wits end... these are the people you need. I would give them a thousand stars if I could.

Do not waste your money! Bark Busters is a scam. I'm not even sure the trainers are well trained. I…read moreadopted a dog, a mix husky/pit bull who's been abandoned by previous owner and was found on the streets of Seattle. Not sure of my dog's background but he clearly has PTSD. He's aggressive towards other dogs and he's protective of food. Jordan recommended we use one of Bark Busters's harness which I paid a fortune for it but since my dog's behavior was not improving, he then recommended we use a prong collar as my dog is quite strong due to his mix breeds. At first, it worked since my dog got hurt every time he would try lunging at other dogs. But he got used to the collar. His pain tolerance is quite high as he's mainly husky. But after a while, my dog had even more aggressive behaviors and he got very frustrated at me while walking, jumping on me. He also started getting into this trance when he was seeing or even just smelling another dog. When in trance, I couldn't touch him or he would try to bite me. I made a lot of research and in fact prong collars shouldn't be used with dogs with PTSD. It makes their anxiety and fear even worse. I wasn't keen on using a prong collar in the first place but I thought Jordan knew what he was doing. Also, I paid for a year long training and he ghosted me after 6 sessions inventing those weird excuses like having driven on a dead body on the freeway so his car got damaged hence he couldn't come. I've always found the Bark Busters' pricing strange and I should have read reviews before but I was desperate to find a solution for my dog so I paid $1095. I got 6 sessions so at least Jordan didn't ghost me after the 1st session but I can't even say I learned anything and for sure Jordan worsen my dog's behavior so please, don't bother. Think about the Bark Busters' pricing. You pay for 1 year or for a lifelong training. The amount for a year is in the end not that expensive if the trainer comes every 2 or 3 weeks. So how can the trainer earn money? How can he live if you only pay $1095 for a year? Well, the trainer has to ghost you in order to get more clients and continue earning money. Jordan will ask you to grunt at your dog (I'm still not convinced it works and that there is science behind it) and to spray water at your dog but none of these work. Go to your vet and ask for recommendations. Or go to a place that people you know recommended.

They stayed here when my baby was born prematurely and I had to focus on taking care of her, and they stayed here when my house was up for sale. My dogs have always been well cared for at CCC and that's why I keep bringing them back. The runs are large and outdoors, in semi rural Fall City. The dogs have more room to run around than they would in an indoors boarding facility in Seattle. Heat in the heated runs comes from a light bulb. The dogs have abundant shavings in their run. Staff is competent and friendly.

During Betsy's stay I received daily photos and updates which I appreciated so much. Raquel made sure Betsy got enough exercise to keep her anxiety down and has a comfy space where I'm sure dogs feel right at home when they are with her.

Raquel is like the dog whisperer, indeed! Not only did she tend to my two senior dogs for a few days, she also stayed in my home to watch them. My dogs can have great anxiety when I leave, so it helps to have someone willing (and trusting) to stay in your home to keep the dogs in their familiar environment while mom is away. Raquel first came over for a meet and greet, and my dogs immediately fell in love with her (literally, my dachshund insisted on gazing directly into her eyes). I left instructions for her that she graciously followed. She was really responsive if I had to text her for any reason, and she was proactive about sending photos of the dogs with daily updates to help ease my anxiety (because I am pretty sure I have a co-dependent relationship with my dogs LOL). Upon return from my trip, Raquel had left me a pleasant surprise of a "thank you for your business" gift that contained a calming essential oil spray with instructions for use for my dogs. It smells amazing and was such a thoughtful gift! If you need a regular dog walker, or a dog-and-home-sitter, Raquel is trustworthy and reliable, she will treat your home with respect, and most importantly, your dogs will be better for having experienced the healing touch of Raquel. Her love and passion for dogs is beyond measure!
