Your dog is NOT safe here and DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE ALONE WITH YOUR DOG! My dog was attacked by…read moreanother dog during a 4 week board and train twice in the same day here on 06/21/21. They had a fight in the morning and a second one in the evening. The dogs were left unattended, together during day play. The "handlers" apparently blew the airhorns to get the other dog to stop attacking my dog, that didn't work so then ran to get Adam. What if he wasn't there? My dog would probably not be here today. My dog and the other dog were put back together later the same day, which does not make any sense to anyone with a functioning brain. I didn't know the extent of my dogs injuries due to the attack. Adam tried to negotiate with me to pay the vet bill from his vet even before me being able to see my dog. MY DOG GOT ATTACKED DUE TO YOUR NEGLIGENCE. He offered to give me a free week if I paid $500-600 for the vet bill. Just goes to show you how absolutely money hungry he is and what he's willing to put at risk ( YOUR DOG). I took my dog to our regular vet that Thursday and he had to have 2 drains surgically put into his leg to let it drain and keep swelling down. Not once did Adam apologize for what happened. Not once did he express any compassion or sympathy. That's when I realized it's all just money for him. You and your dog are just another dollar sign to him. This is just a warning for those of you thinking of coming here. He hires people off the street who have 0 dog training or experience with handling dogs to work for him. He is an extremely rough handler, i've watched him myself. The things that are done to your dog when no one is watching makes my blood boil. Please think twice about what may happen to your pup while in their care. My dog paid the price, don't let yours also. We've had a long 3 years of recovery for my dog to be able to trust other people and dogs again. He will never be the dog that he was before because of Adam and Obedient Paws. Please, if you love your dog, don't walk, RUN far away from this place and this man. You will be doing your dog the greatest service.

We needed pet sitting because we were getting married and because of our busy weekend, we would not be home for a couple nights/afternoon. Joanne came to meet our dogs a week before and they were so calm and welcoming to her.. even my super timid, skittish pup went right up to her and nuzzled her! (I think shes a doggie whisperer ) I received texts throughout her visits with updates and pictures. When we got home, there was a detailed description of each visit. We love our dogs like children and now I can't imagine trusting our fur babies to anybody but Joanne from here on out!!

I called for information and was offered a tour, whenever I wanted to drop in. I was shown where the dog's routines were on paper, where the food, bedding and medications were kept. -Very organized. I opted to put Bo up in the fancy state room, and paid and extra $5.00 for an extra 15 min. of play time for each day, equaling extra $15.00, but worth it. -Pictures! I could check my customer portal on my cell, and saw pics of Bo getting used to his surroundings and playtime. He mainly sniffed around, lol. When I picked him up, his bedding was washed, I did opt out for the discharge shampooing that comes with the fancy state room reservation. Bo will be going there again, I am very happy with the staff and the accommodations.
