Barb sets up an obstacle course for the dogs and everyone gets three runs through the course. No pressure and no experience necessary. Our dogs love it, too. I think it really gave them a confidence boost to tackle the obstacles. Unlike at the vet's office, the dogs can't wait to get inside! That should give you an idea of the atmosphere. Barb also offers a variety of classes to keep your dog stimulated like scent class and obedience. Of course, she also does consultations if you need something specific. Most people know Barb for her love of Rottweilers. Her dogs are well behaved and loving towards her. If you know anything about dogs, you know that they are honest about relationships. Her dogs love her. Our dogs ADORE her. You couldn't be in better hands. Take it from the dogs.

For $30 a day we get the knowledge that she gets good socialization and time with other dogs she wouldn't get at home alone with a few rover walks throughout the day. The staff is friendly and attentive and I just wish she had some more energy at the end of the day for a walk, but she's loving it so far!

I cannot recommend enough Tammy at Dream Golden Retrievers. Our family of four, including two…read moreyoung children, really wanted to welcome a wonderful little Golden Retriever as the fifth member of our family. I undertook a significant amount of research on Golden breeders in the extended area, focusing specifically on hobby breeders that had wonderful sir and dam lines that were well documented and highly reviewed. Tammy and Dream Golden Retrievers fit the bill. From the first series of communications, Tammy was awesome. It is so clear that she loves Goldens, and she provided us with a WEALTH of information. Everything from how to prepare our home and children, to the best vet to select, to the best trainers in our area. I can't imagine doing this on our own after having Tammy's support. Visiting the litter it was clear she had such an amazing Mom (Willow) and Dad (Doc) - https://k9data.com/pedigree.asp?ID=1081443. Tammy was very thoughtful in selecting our puppy with our input, and our sweet girl Scout has been wonderful. She is a blast at home, very smart and picks up to training quickly, and even our trainer has told us that she "fell in love" with Scout! We provide a VERY strong recommendation for Tammy and Dream Golden Retrievers!!!!! Some pictures of our beautiful Scout :).

Tammy is professional about her business, as well as knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. She is meticulous in every detail of the process, as well as how she cares for the pups prior to adoption.

We are delighted with our new family member and we are grateful to Tammy for bringing him into the world in the best way possible. Thank you Tammy, for all that you did for us. We have a beautiful, smart and affectionate dog! Sally B.

We used to think we weren't a dog family. That was until we met Tricia's dogs. Now, "not a dog…read morefamily" just sounds crazy. We were introduced to Quinn and the guardian family program by Tricia and we immediately fell in love with the idea. Not only are Tricia's dogs so well behaved and sweet she gives you the training tips to keep up the training and advice on how to help your dog and family progress together. I didn't even know where to start with what dog products we needed. Legit first timer with a dog. Tricia was very patient with even my most silly questions and provided links and her honest reviews for different products. She cares about her puppies and cares that you're all happy. She provides a wonderful environment for the dogs she breeds while they are being trained and getting ready for their new homes. Thank you Tricia for making us a happy dog family!!

This is a hard review to write because over the years I have grown to love Tricia. But I feel that…read morethis information may help another family. We have had three doodles from Cali Pals each with serious health issues. Our first dog Scout developed Juvenile Cellulitis as a puppy. This is a very, very painful disorder. I sat with Scout and cried with Scout as we nursed him back to health. And Scout would wail and whimper in pain. It was so hard, and I felt so helpless. My vet said that the disease came from the stud line. Tricia did not believe me until there was another litter from which a pup developed the same painful condition. To Tricia's defense, it is not a common disease. The illness is cited to create lasting personality changes as well. We had a difficult time with training after the illness. So, we hired Tricia to board and train Scout for two weeks. During this time, she was able to observe the behavior problems. And to Tricia's credit, she offered to replace Scout with a new puppy. Our second doodle, Shadow was amazing. All of the wonderful traits you read about with Cali Pals puppies. Just a lovely, lovely dog. So, it was especially heartbreaking with Shadow died before the age of two years because of congenital kidney failure. We cried and cried. And to Tricia's credit, she handled the situation with kindness and generosity. She gave us our third doodle, Coqui. Coqui, at two years, was diagnosed with epilepsy. This morning, I just held her for thirty minutes as she endured another seizure. This was about the twelfth seizure. I haven't been able to decide if we should start permanent, ongoing medications. But we probably will need to do so. Tricia hasn't responded to this latest situation. That's okay. We certainly do not want another Cali Pals dog. Is Tricia highly likable? Yes. Has she been responsive to our situations and heartbreaks? Yes. Are we an anomaly? I don't know. I thought it is time to go public with our story today with the desire to prevent other families from this type of heartache not to mention veterinarian expenses.

Understanding in today's environment the need for social distancing and virtual everything. Your team - Bonnie and Wendi are incredible. Presenting us with our weekly course work, videos, and the virtual calls reviewing our progress or pending needs with a group session. Therefore, Wendi and Bonnie, We cannot thank you enough for your guidiance in Parker's future progress. Granted there are still some days for us, it was 2 steps forward and 1 step backwards at times. Parker's and us are still a work in progress. It's just been 2 months since we adopted our wonderful pup and we are looking forward to seeing his & our growth in the future. A question - resetting Parker's DOG CLOCK to greater than 5:45am or teach him how to start the coffee, please? Best of luck to team.

Our intelligent and strong-willed pup was also a puller when on leash. Pam provided me the tools with how to train basic obedience with praise vs treats. We enjoyed 15 years with that well behaved pup. A year and a half ago we thought we were ready for a four legged family member again. Our rambunctious Labradoodle pup has surpassed our previous pup in will and intelligence (and shenanigans!). Once again, Pam to the rescue! Her patience, knowledge and understanding of dog behaviors along with the remedies to train even the most stubborn is always a welcome relief. She is amazing to watch and work with even 9 week old puppies. Highly recommend Pam

I don't want to spare him time to socialize so I have her walk him for a few hours and after every walk I can tell he enjoyed himself to the fact that he falls aswell right away. She also sends me photos and videos of him while on walks every time. When I do walk my puppy I've notice how well his leash manners have come since her walking him and being a puppy he is more prone to pulling or yanking at the leash but ever since Adalia has walked him whenever I can't I've noticed he has much improved. Over all I give Adalia and faithful shore a five star review for a most satisfactory dog walking experience.

We did an initial consultation where she met Poppy in our home and took her for a quick walk to get to know her personality. After Poppy spent a full day care day with Evelyn, Poppy was overly enthusiastic each time she was picked up. We've done day care days and overnight stays since! The best part about Coastal Pup Pack is seeing Evelyn's updates at the end of the day where she recaps what they did, how Poppy behaved, and sends multiple pictures! The system Evelyn uses to stay organized is also extremely helpful. I'd recommend her to anyone!
