Terrible experience. I read these other reviews and it seems like at one point in the past this was a good option but not now. My two dogs came home covered in fleas(they've never had fleas in their life), rashes, and one has an open sore between her toes. I could also tell they had been kenneled extensively because the kennel bed reeked of urine. To top it off, when I asked for a picture of my dog I was ignored, which should have been a clue. My dogs treats , food, and harness were not returned. When I asked for the harness it took 5 days to get it back. I really wish I hadn't left my dog with Shalik. read more

He left the area without asking for his taking my puppy with him and I had to pay another trainer for the same work.

Noble Buddy is a private dog trainer who comes to you for an hour of training. Shalik is easy going and experienced in training a wide array of dog personalities. I have had my rescue dog for a month now and have seen great results. Shalik came to the house for a free consultation and remains flexible in setting up our sessions. We have had a total if four sessions and an open line of communication if i have any questions between our training. I would recommend Shalik if you're looking for a trainer because he is honest in his feedback and available for extra help or just answering questions. Shalik is easy to get along with and will work with your style of how you'd prefer to raise your dog up to a better companion. read more

Gave my dog to Shalik for a 2 week board and train, he ended up keeping my dog for 3 weeks because he felt he needed "extra training" the third week I had said I would like my dog home. Shalik dropped my dog off at my house and the first thing I noticed was he had patches of hair missing on him as well as medium sized pink bumps all over his legs! I asked him what was this and why wasn't I notified. Shalik said it could have possibly been an allergic reaction or ants, I was so upset. If it was my dog should've been brought to the vet immediately or I should've been notified which I was not!! Honestly I barely got updates about how my dog was doing, I had to ask each time and wait for a dry response, I barely got pictures even when I asked and when I got them it was some blurry picture in the dark. I brought my dog to the vet immediately after he was dropped off, the vet told me it was possibly from a bacterial infection, and the patches of hair are possibly from rubbing and stress. My dog is now on antibiotics. Not only that but my dog is suffering from night terrors which has never happened before! If the missing patches of hair was from rubbing on a hard surface I want to know how long my dog was in a crate to have these huge patches of hair missing. My dog has no separation anxiety and is crate trained, he stays in the crate while I'm at work so I'm really confused how he could be missing so much hair on his legs. Not only that but my dog is acting no different, still jumping on people when I tell him no, rarely comes when his name is called and overall barely listening to me. Shalik told me this is because he didn't have a chance to show me what Zion could do. My dog should at least come when called without having to show me how to do it! I'm so furious! Now Shalik will not respond to my texts about a refund and my dogs vet bills, I've been so patient, I tried to resolve this outside of court but I'm forced to take it to court. I trusted this guy and I was so wrong!! Please don't send your dogs to board and training, train with your dog, take classes with your dog, this is one of the worst mistakes I ever made and I feel so guilty that I let this happen. I've attached some pictures of just a few spots on my boy, I have videos too! I never would have expected this. read more

Shalik is professional, kind, & knowledgeable. My pup almost didn't want to leave him when I picked him up! Will hopefully book with him again in the future! read more

If you need someone extremely reliable, fairly priced, and extremely friendly and knowledgeable, you've come to the right place. We have been using Shalik's services since we moved into our home in 2019, and he came very highly recommended from a few neighbors. Shalik has been the most reliable and knowledgeable person when it comes to our pit bull/bull dog mix Sox. Not only does he take him for daily walks, he has also boarded him, aided with training, given baths, and assisted us with his vast knowledge of some medical issues we experienced. He even came over after hours to help when our Sox had an upset tummy and I was super overwhelmed. Additionally, he has truly been able to make me not have to worry about any of my other fur babies (2 cats as well) by feeding them while we are away and giving them that extra TLC. He always goes above and beyond what is needed. In 2019 I gave birth to our daughter and Shalik was part of the entire plan to pick up Sox while we were in hospital...even on a Saturday. Shalik has truly become a member of our family and my dog gets super upset if he doesn't get to see his best buddy. I love seeing Sox's face light up when he sees Shalik. We can't thank you enough for being there for both Sox and us. read more

We highly recommend for daily or overnight stays for your pup by experienced pet professional. Has helped our family for years.

Shalik is great. He watches our Irish Wolfhound and he loves to go to doggie day care with him. We just have to say Shalik and he perks up looking out the window for his car. You and your dog won't be disappointed with his services. read more

Shalik has been a huge help over the last few years. My rottie fur baby and I met Shalik when Tai was 4 months old and now at 2.5 he's still a part of our routine every week. He picks up in the AM and drops off the pup at puppy daycare a few times a week and conveniently brings him home in the evenings when I get home from work. Tai also boards with Shalik about once a month when I travel for a long weekend. He is dependable, polite, and flexible, and my pup is always so excited when he sees him coming around the corner! :) read more
