    I can't say enough good things about Learning Paws. They take incredible care of my pup and treat her like she is family. They are incredibly reliable, flexible, and accommodating. My dog loves going there to see her friends (both dog and human!). I've shopped around at several camps and this is the best in my opinion. Their groups are smaller than other ones in the area. They have to dogs broken into tinies, mediums, and biggies, instead of just small and large. Also, their rooms and outside areas are spacious, so the dogs aren't on top of each other. Lastly, their half days are 6 hours instead of 5, like other camps. The dogs play and interact all day and are never kenneled. When I pick my girl up, she's exhausted in the best way and we all are happy! Thank you LP for being the absolute best out there!!

    I've been taking my dog Daisy (shiba inu) to this daycare for the past 3 years and my lab mix Cookie for the past year. I love this place! It's conveniently located close to my work place. I trust them 100% with my dogs, have never had any incident and they all know the dogs by name and also know their personalities well. They are very responsible and take good care of the dogs. Sean is fantastic and loves the dogs as if they were his children. My shiba inu hates people but she absolutely loves Shawn and that's a lot to say! My black lab goes to another daycare located in Scottsdale when I work in other places and it's crazy how she reacts so different when I'm about to drop her off at Learning Pawsibilities. She gets so excited and can't wait to get off the car! At the other daycare in Scottsdale she is fearful and wants to get back in the car

    I rescued a 12 week old pitbull pup on his way to the pound. I live alone and work a very busy schedule. He is one of my biggest responsibilities and if I didn't have some place to take him where I knew he was loved, safe, cared for and happy, I don't know how we would make it. It takes a village... We are so lucky to have found learning paws and have them be a part of our village . He frequently drags me to the door and I can often be seen lifting him out of the lobby. Sean once waited in an Emergency room with him for hours during an allergic reaction making sure he didn't feel frightened. His happiness brings me so much joy and learning paws has played a tremendous role in that he's been there from about a year , he's 5 now and we love it!

    Omg Angelia and Marissa are the sweetest humans alive. (Also Dalton, Dave and Brittany you guys rock! Sorry I don't know everyone's name) We've been taking our two dogs, Chewie and Kuma, since they were puppies. It's been great for socialization and takes a lot off of our plate with younger dogs. They come home pooped. Today they gave our chow chow the royal treatment. Thank you ladies for the best customer service

    Where do I even begin. First of all - we hand selected these folks and entrusted them with the care of our only family member. A few weeks she sustained a bite while at Learning Paws ....that's not our issue. Although it was upsetting we are mainly upset by the TOTAL lack of communication, zero reporting on the issue and then, outside of one phone call to "check in" ...radio silence since. That is until we posted a bad review - that's creating some passive communication. We both missed work all week, have been nursing an Injured dog back to health and still haven't been refunded for our $24 visit. They did however throw money at the problem by paying for the emergency visit to the vet. They haven't let us see the tapes and offered ZERO apology and rather made excuses as to the fact that "maybe it was a herding breed" and "accidents happen". Weeks later they confirmed she was "in a fight" which is totally normal - EXCEPT THEY NEVER REPORTED THIS TO US. they will tell you that they do body checks on the dogs - But clearly that is not done in a consistent manner - since an incident was never reported to us. I could easily see the hole in her body from across the room when we got home. (See pic); I get that accidents happen but you're supposedly trained professionals that are capable of hiring qualified employees to care for animals. Oh and we pay you to watch the dogs and prevent fights such as this I understand the plight of a small business trying to identify and train qualified staff to run an operation such as this. However, being understaffed is a terrible excuse for ineffective service. You have the option to limit the number of dogs or pay slightly more on an hourly basis to ensure that the care is continued across all staff members. I'm disgusted and I'd sincerely think twice before sending your loved one there. Mirna and Lena ...since you can't respond to phone calls I figured this was where to get your attention

    After surgery and all swollen

    PLEASE READ BEFORE TAKING YOUR DOG TO LEARNING PAWSIBILITIES!!!! If I had shared this review a year ago, I would have told you that Learning Pawsibilities was wonderful. After carefully reading through their reviews and learning more about the owners, staff and services my husband and I felt more than comfortable sending our puppy there. We trusted them, their knowledge, professionalism. We even paid to have our puppy privately trained with one of their trainers at our home. Which was extremely successful. Our puppy was making great progress and we had built up so much trust with her and the staff at Learning Paws. As the year continued, we experience a few hiccups with the staff. It seemed that they were VERY short staffed. We also noticed that some of the staff members were lacking 'attention to detail'. Which will/can happen when businesses have a quick turn over. We decided to pull back and only send our pup a few 1/2 days a week here and there. THEN... Just about a month ago, I dropped our pup off at around 7am and picked her up at 2pm. I asked how she did that day and I received a very vague response. As I stood in the lobby waiting for them to bring her to me I was watching the surveillance cameras and noticed that my pup was hiding under a slide. Then she got up with her tail tucked behind her back legs. She looked terribly scared and I knew something was not normal. We got in the car, drove home and she immediately went and hid under our bed. I knew something was up, so I kept an eye on her and shortly found her nursing a bloody inch and half wound. She had been bit in what would basically be her back leg armpit area. Immediately took her to the vet, called Learning Paws, and was at the vet from 2:30pm - 8:30pm. Learning Paws said they do "body checks" at 12pm and did not see anything. We asked them to please check the video recordings to see what could have happened. They had the nerve to ask us if maybe something happened before we dropped her off at daycare. Seriously!? Our pup was finished with surgery and starting to come off the anesthesia. The vet communicated with us that Learning Paws was 'taking care of the bill' - How nice of them, ha! Call us 'crazy dog owners', but we were furious!!! No call from Mirna to explain the situation in more detail, no apology, seemingly no concern about the dog at all. Nothing!!! We had to pay out of pocket for the antibiotics, we both work full time and needed to switch our schedules around completely to care for the dog. Not to mention, this was a major set back with all the work we have done socializing our dog. I apologize for the LONG winded review, but I feel it is my responsibility to share our experience with others. Of course, things happen and especially with pets, but the way this situation was handled is extremely unprofessional and disrespectful, in my opinion. Hopefully, our review helps others make safe doggie daycare decisions and keeps all of our furry babies safe! Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. ***********RESPONSE TO OWNERS COMMENT: The incident was handled poorly and unprofessionally... Throwing money at a vet bill does not cut it and I would hope you understand that. We should have been informed immediately that our dog was in a supposed dog fight, but we were not!!!! We were not informed of anything and the poor dogs you are caring for do not have a voice. Your staff had no knowledge of the incident even happening. It was not until we called to tell you she had bit that at daycare. It breaks my heart to think about how long she had been injured, scared and uncomfortable in your staffs hands. Where was your staff when the supposed fight happened? Why weren't we informed of the incident? Why wasn't she taking to the vet immediately? Or when the BODY CHECKS were done, why didn't they see the injury? All VERY good questions to ask, but for some reason we were left in the dark with no answers to those questions. This review is mainly a VOICE for the animals that cannot speak for themselves. Also we 100% bought/paid for a private training package, had one session and never heard back about the Urban Dog training dates so we asked to kindly refund our remaining money. Have a look at your records. To think we would take you up on an offer to "take care" of our dog in one of your separated rooms after the incident is a nice offer, BUT a bit mind blowing. Sorry to say, after experiencing how this was all handled we choose not to support your business. My apologies for being beyond frustrated and bringing the bill in to your "store" - I thought you might want to see it and have a copy for your records. Clearly, you were too busy. Best wish to you as well... More importantly, best wishes to the safety of the animals that have no voices.

    Not going to lie, I did not trust this place one bit because come on - the place used to be a sex toy/clothing shop. In my mind, I just couldn't see how the place could be built for dog boarding but, Mirna (owner) proved me wrong. Central Phoenix was seriously lacking a dog boarding center despite how dog-friendly the Biltmore/Arcadia businesses are and how apartment ridden this area is. I was going on vacation but moved from the 24/7 Gilbert Dogs area and needed to find somewhere closer than having to basically trek to Mexico just so my dog could be boarded. This place was literally steps nearby and once again, I was wary due to the former business it used to be and how new it was with not many reviews. I first went to take a look at the the place and Mirna more than willingly gave me a tour. No dildos or bras surprisingly, but an actual agility/play area with more than 4 sections to move dogs around. 40 bucks a night is more expensive than most other places but if you look at their Facebook page, you'll see why. My beast of a dog isn't exactly dog friendly after being attacked and finds other dogs annoying. I don't know where she got that from, definitely not me *eyes shifting*. It was my first time boarding and I nicely warned the staff that if they didn't update at least twice a day with pictures or videos of my beast breathing, I would assume that my dog was dead like Green Acres and start a one woman Ferguson Riot of my own. Mirna and the staff made sure she always had one on one enrichment and training and made sure to constantly upload the Facebook so I could breathe a little easier while I was away. What was probably the best part? My dog didn't come back home smelling like she came from the mighty St. River of Dog Pee. I used to hate that I had to give my beast a bath after Gilbert Dogs because she smelled worse than a skunk but she smelled so great I almost cried tears of joy as I smuggled my face into her fat rolls. Definitely give it a try! They also offer Veterans discounts so yay!

    Beau attended Learning PAWSibilities for half day doggy day care. He loved it.

(I thought since the reviews were perfect, they might come thru... but instead... nada!) We were considering giving them a pet sitting job for over a month in length. But unfortunately they can't be reached via the phone. I left a vm and waited an entire week and got no call back. Backstory: Ironically I believe there's someone named Shauna who operates the website and Yelp(and does a prompt job responding), but John the caretaker is the one who's phone number is associated with the biz, and he is unable to be reached to line up appointments!! (I contacted them a year or two ago when we were considering using them. We didn't end up needing them, but when we tried them last week when we finally did, John did not decide to call us back.) I'm glad others have good experiences. But that was not ours. ‍

Our pet sitter, Karen, was nothing short of amazing--so loving, so attentive, and so patient with our very needy black cat, Jax. She didn't just stop by; she stayed, hung out, and genuinely spent time with him. And even though our gray cat, Dolce, didn't come out very much, she was just as incredible in caring for her and making sure she felt safe and comfortable. Wow... just wow! We were floored by her love for animals. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking such great care of the fur babies we love dearly. I would recommend this company to absolutely anyone. And honestly, anyone leaving anything less than a five-star review? Shame on you! These people love animals and treat your pets as if they were their own. Amazing, amazing, amazing! You'll always be our go-to whenever my wife and I take a vacation.
