We have an awkwardly nervous, and crazy rescue dog, that I'm POSITIVE somehow has doggy PTSD. He…read morealso has some sort of ADHD, which makes it impossible to get him to pay attention, or get his focus on one specific thing like dinner or late night potty trips. He also has a hard time with strangers, so we were resigned to think we would never get away from the house due to his issues. Once we were forced to look into dog-sitting for an event we were required to attend, we realized finding someone to look after him was imperative. After emailing back and forth with Crissy, we set up a time for them to meet at our house, to see how they got along. Carson was his typical shakey, barking self, but Crissy's easygoing nature made his nerves settle down and he eventually took to her quite enthusiastically. Crissy has dog-sat for us on multiple occasions, on day trips and weekend overnights, and every time we returned, we came back to a happy dog, and a safe house. I feel confident leaving our lil guy in her capable hands, and will continue to do so. I highly recommend her to anyone with pets, and especially people with pets who have special needs, are old or injured, or have issues that put them out of the possibility of putting their lil friend in a kennel. Prices are reasonable, with prices by the hour, or by event, such as a one hour visit being $28, or an overnight with a mid day walk being $68. Absolutely worth it, Crissy is talented and wonderful, and will remain with our family for as long as possible.

Poppy loves going to CK9 - and I get frequent social media updates as well as a Google classroom to keep track of her progress. The facility is located at Burnett's Country Garden in Salem and is setup perfectly for training. It js CLEAN and there is plenty of space. As an added benefit - the dogs are frequently brought through Burnetts during business hours to aid with socialization and skill reinforcement. There's plenty of parking as well - and they have their own entrance. There is also a potty area with cleaning supplies available. I've also had two private training sessions with Shannon - and they have been extremely helpful for me to learn appropriate and successful ways to train both new behaviors and reinforce existing behaviors. If you are in need of dog training - you will not be disappointed with CK9!!!

One of my best friends who has a Bichon utilizes this place when going away. His dog is always happy to be there when her dad goes out of state. This business is nestled in an area of Clinton that is not only beautiful, but also not on an incredibly busy street. I've driven past Tamarack before and have seen how happy the dogs are. Their wagging tails say it all! Being able to spend time with other furry friends while in the best of care (via the owner) would put anyone at ease. Your dog will be the greatest of hands. If you are seeking a dog boarding place - this is it. You definitely will NOT be disappointed! :)

It's clear that they genuinely care about the animals they look after. When we finally returned, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated with kindness and attention.

They will nickle and dime you even if they don't fully perform the tasks payed for. I payed to have my dog bathed and nails trimmed previously and they only trimmed one paw but still paid for full services- they knew because they apologized for not getting to it (she doesn't fight being groomed she's well behaved.)She's been bathed here twice and looks clean but doesn't really smell like she's had a bath like when I've had her groomed elsewhere. Also if you don't make AM pickup by a few minutes and have to come back at 3 they charge you an entire day. Mind you they are closed half the day and hardly ever answer the phone. Overall- not the worst place but nothing that makes you feel like they care to retain you as a customer.

Immediately my cousin told me that this was the best school for dogs in the area. She was right that is for sure! My husband and I started taking our puppy to Rhodes Collar immediately and worked with Michelle on dog obedience skills in both private lessons and group classes. Curtis was able to get involved in a group class entitled Good Citizen Skills. He passed the class thanks to the excellent training from Michelle and owner Glenna and there continued patience with us as new owners of Curtis. We are still taking classes with Michelle and working on more advanced skills now, we really enjoy the classes. The staff are all amazing, Linda helps Curtis with the after school program, she is incredible, Maureen is amazing and helps with so many areas of running the school, Rileigh is also amazing and helps us when we need to board Curtis though Custom Care. We feel 100% confident that our puppy is safe and treated well when we go away, we get pictures and videos of everything he does at school like report cards or when boarding at a staff's home. Staff are always available in a on text and honestly this school is so amazing that my husband and I agree we are better dog owners since going to Rhodes Collar, we plan to be long time customers and are forever grateful to them. Many thanks Rhodes Collar for all you do.
