The 2 yo is full of energy and plays with the large dogs. I love watching them on the cams. I always see staff with them on the cams and the dogs love them. They bunk together and get along well. They always are well groomed when I pick them up and when they get home, they sleep like crazy from all the fun playing at CBW! Love the place and the staff. I highly recommend!

    Wow things have really changed this that last review. I never see my dog an camera like I used to…read more When I dropped her off today their new Covid hours were up. I specifically asked if it meant my dog would be locked up the whole time they told me no. I dropped her off at 10 am this morning and it's 247 pm and I have yet to see her on camera. I am furious. I called another local day care and asked them their hours the dogs are only crated for 1 hour to eat. Camp Bow Wow only lets them out from 10-12 and 12-2 so for the entire 12 hours they are open your dog is locked up for 1/3 of the day. They told me corporate shuts their cameras off when their closed from 11-4. I have screen shots to say otherwise. I paid them to have my dog in a kennel from 10-323pm. I feel like I neglected my dog bc they didn't truthfully answer my question. My dog was only out for an hour and 15min along with the other dogs. They claim it's to avoid dog bloat so they rest them. Rest them from what resting ALL DAY? I'm so upset I used to love this place and right now my heart is broken.

    People say all the time that training dogs turns them into robots... this couldn't be further from…read morethe truth. Our dogs were baseline trained before we started going to Custom K9 and now are very well trained with the plus of off leash obedience. Having your dog under control and stable in public and around all types of dogs makes for SO many more opportunities for fun. Now that our dogs are "robot" trained they get to go with us everywhere. They get to run around dog friendly beaches off leash and have the time of their life since we can keep them under control. Our lives and our dogs are happier, less stressful, more adventurous and the biggest one.. safer now that they are reliably trained.

Izzy is listening better, learning to walk on a leash and is no longer afraid of other dogs (or maybe that was my fear). Diane and her crew are wonderful. Are they tuff? Absolutely! Because they care about the dogs. Could you get your feelings hurt? Maybe, because they care about the dogs!. Are you going to be encouraged when they see progress?. Absolutely! Because they care about the dogs. On days it's time to go to "School" Izzy runs to the front door, sits, and waits for her training collar to be put on!. It's awesome.

    I'm currently half way through my second agility class with Roz and my Rhodesian Ridgeback, Wally…read more Roz is a positive trainer (lots of treats and praise, no correction). I only go to positive trainers because fear based training not only doesn't work in the long run, but can make your dog more likely to bite out of fear without warning. Roz's education on all things training, especially working with fearful dogs, is top notch. Roz is always seeking out seminars, articles, and other scholarly work to improve her skills. She has a true love for the sport of dog fancy. Wally's agility skills and attention have come a long way in 9 weeks, and my skills at handling have improved too. Roz provides honest feedback in a direct manner that make it easy to understand the mistakes you're making. The structure of Roz's class is great. She teaches all of the obstacles in a logical order. The trick training she provides at the beginning of each class work on your dogs attention, as well as building your dogs body awareness, and muscles needed to do dog sports safely. The content of the class is personalized for each training pair, making sure adjustments are made for the dogs' sizes or abilities. You

    We have been coming here for agility and dog training for over a year…read more After trying over five different training facilities, we are ecstatic that we have finally found a superb trainer who is friendly, attentive, and enthusiastic. It is a joy to come to every class and never fail to either learn something new or become better at a previous trick. We had a very hard time simply teaching our Havanese to "stay" and during Rockin' Relationship which is an ongoing training session to increase your personal relationship with your dog. The trainer was constantly recommending different methods to help train our dog. When she introduced us to platform training, it was like a god send. Our dog finally learned to stay and passed her canine good citizen exam. In fact every dog in that class passed that exam. Roz believes if you have a positive relationship with your dog, your dog will want to be with you and do what you ask instead of command, which greatly helped with our dog who never listened to commands. We learned to reward good behavior and simply ignore the bad. It works. We highly recommend MyHero Dog Training to everyone with a dog. She is exceptionally tolerant of all dogs, even dogs that are fear reactive whom most trainers are not qualified to help train.

    As of 2/6/2024, I hereby state that there is an incompetent groomer at this facility. Tara, is a…read moreproclaimed "Groomer" at this location who has, for lack of legal terms, assaulted my dog/companion. I have had my loved one groomed at Bingos in Royal Oak (amazing staff) and at the Grosse Point Pet Salon- also very professional (in-laws were old Grosse Pionters) for the past half + decade) I only point this out as what I am about to show you, will be in disbelief, as it was to me. Tara, I believed attempted to rush and with disregarded the relationship between her and Chip. I have worked with patients who are homeless, belligerent and drug addicts- as a ER/ICU nurse from Detroit, Virginia to Sacramento. I understand these situations are difficult but you already committed by the time to called me. I believe there was no introduction or approach phase that Tara allotted. (Not saying my dog deserves the same respect to unconditional care, but does deserve the sense of approach as when to and when not to intervene, (that is all). Tara did not give Chip that condition, you lacked the humanity to sense that, and I sincerely hope you find peace before you preform maleficence (speaking to Tara). I actually stayed outside Auckland, NZ with sheep farmers during a student ambassador program (2006) I completed in through the USGov- who handled cattle for slaughter with more respect than what I believe Tara did for my beloved Chip. I have respect for Dr. Plein and his end handling of my relationship with them (no, I will never return). Tara is of NO action of Dr. Pleins'. She is an action of her own. I would have hesitation if she were to handle your beloved furry one. I have no opinion on her employment status but I would have HESITATION, as a registered nurse. AVOID TARA!!! For context. I dropped Chip off, who was somewhat matted. But the photos are of what I had been presented with on my return. Note the chunks of hair I proceeded to remove from Chip after the staff escorted him out of a cage. Chip was dropped off prior to the groomers arrival for her shift. The location opens at 8am, I dropped him of at the earliest 0730-0745. timestamp of my voicemail was 0808, to pick him up (also attached). They open at 0800, and seemingly she slighted straight towards sedation as if that were within her scope as a "groomer". This is of great concern BTW in a very fundamental way. Meanwhile, this was his and her first time encountering each other. In no longer than 8 minute (given that is when the voicemail started recording) between you clocking in and forcing your shears against my dog and being aggravated against him for his lack of tolerance for you being rushed... such an inhumane human being! She decided to shave him down the middle (like two-face) and then declare he was "too aggressive" to handle. Chip, was eventually managed by this facility. Like I said, this beloved family member of mine has never been dealt such MALEFICENCE from a proclaimed "groomer" such as Tara. Please avoid her as your groomer. Dr. Plein Rectified my disgust for the situation but I cannot speak for her continuation of employment. I can only say, here is your warning.

    I can't recommend Tri Canine Campus enough! After working with two other dog training companies and…read morespending over 12 weeks (& hundreds of dollars) trying to help my Frenchton, Yoda's reactivity toward other dogs, I was at my wit's end. Within five minutes of our very first lesson, Yoda pretty much stopped barking at other dogs -- something I never thought would happen. Tri Canine's behavior modification program truly works, and they take the time to understand the "why" behind each behavior. The trainers (Mike, Jule & Ashley) are so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about helping both the dogs and their owners succeed. Now Yoda can even play with other dogs under supervision, which still amazes me (pictures for proof). If you're looking for reactive dog training, behavior modification, or obedience training, Tri Canine Campus is hands down the best place to go. I drive 35-40 mins each way just to take him there because it is 1000% worth every minute in the car! They've completely transformed our lives!

    DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE. I brought my mini schnauzer Boss here when he was a puppy, and they put…read moreall of their dogs* (not their puppies - as they called out in my google review) in prong collars. He did not need a prong collar, and as soon as we started using it he developed dog reactivity. At the suggestion of Tri-Canine, I continued to use the prong collar, but all that did is continue to create negative associations (PAIN) any time he saw another dog. I have spent YEARS trying to regain my dog's trust and help him overcome his reactivity. I started working with a positive reinforcement trainer, and they've helped a lot. I only have one regret in my life, and that's bringing my new puppy to this place. If you are not educated, do not let these people try to convince you that prong collars are necessary. You can see their response to my google review (same as above but tweaked to remove the word "Puppy") here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Ee6ofDDKpn8ARDBY6 But here is a quote: "A truly deceptive narrative, this client attended not only our Puppy class back in 2021 (2021!!!) but also went on to our Obedience One class and then to our Obedience Two class? " Yes, in their puppy class they don't use prong collars, but they do so in their obedience one and obedience two. As this was my first dog on my own, I trusted Tri Canine with the wellbeing of my dog, and they recommended continuing use of the prong collar when he started to become reactive. He was not reactive before attending this class and using the prong collar. It was 2021, during the pandemic, and I was not taking my dog many places outside of the classroom. And yes, I attended the class in 2021, and I'm still here in mid 2025 dealing with the repercussions of taking my dog to Tri-Canine. You can also see in their records that I withdrew my dog/stopped attending halfway through obedience two because I had gotten some second opinions from positive reinforcement trainers. It's pretty rich to try and blame Mini Schnauzers as a breed, when there are so many dogs that are prone to developing reactivity, and you all are "professionals" who are supposed to help people who are struggling with this issue. One thing that helps reactivity develop faster, is pain associated with triggers of fear. Had I known this, I could've avoided having a reactive dog. Reading this review, your one takeaway should be: POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO WITH YOUR DOG. AVOID THIS PLACE!
