Worth every single penny. We started with Sally Said So in the fall with our 3 y/o rescued German…read moreShepard. I was convinced she was untrainable. She's a very stubborn dog and taking her for walks was an absolute miserable experience every time and constantly resulted in my tears. Dale was our trainer and he's a miracle worker. He has two GS himself; he knows what he is doing. Our dog took to him so quickly. It was amazing watching her listen to his commands. He was very encouraging to work with. He taught us how to speak to out dog, how to give a correction, how to praise her. By the 3rd appointment, I was feeling much more confident in taking her for walks, which was our #1 goal. The thing is you (the owners) have to be willing to put in the work. If you don't, don't bother. Sally Said So is training for the dog and the owner. Dale trained us and our dog is happier and more controlled because of him. Our dog prances on the leash now! We still have work to do but we know Dale is just a phone call/text message away and he's given us building blocks to continue forward and hopefully, eventually, have ourselves a canine good citizen. Thank you, Dale!

I would highly recommend Frank to anyone who needs a phenomenal dog walker.

Packman Dog Walking & Better Behavior is AWESOME! The "Better Behavior" is in there for a reason…read more Not only is Frank a great dog walker, he is also an excellent and effective dog trainer. The concept of combining walking and training is genius - I only wish I had found Packman Dog Walking sooner! I have an 2 y.o. 80lb mixed breed pup. In general, he is well behaved but there were some behaviors that I had just learned to "live with" - i.e. pulling on the leash, barking when the doorbell rings and not always listening when I say "come." We had tried most of the "puppy classes" and trainers in the area and spend a lot of money without much success. Amazingly, within 15 minutes of meeting Captain, Frank had him sitting quietly greeting the postman at our front door. In addition to his excellent dog training, Frank is unique in that he has a keen understanding of dog psychology. Before finding Packman, I was sending my dog to a few different "doggy daycare" facilities in the area. Unfortunately, on a few occasions, my dog came home with cuts and limps and acting out of character. I don't fault these facilities (it is impossible to keep your eye on 20 dogs at one time...), but Frank has offered a great alternative way to socialize my dog in a setting where there is always a human in control. No matter how many dogs Frank is walking, he is always aware of each dog and is therefore able to facilitate healthy, fun socialization. I have a fitness tracker on my dog and I've noticed he gets the same amount of activity in a 1-2hr walk with Frank as he did when he spent a whole day at a daycare facility. Furthermore, Frank is incredibly professional. There is a great deal of trust involved in letting someone into your home while you are not there. Frank has been professional, responsive and respectful of my house and roommates on each and every occasion he has been here. I am at ease knowing that my dog and my home are in great hands while I am working.

Absolutely Do Not Recommend - Lack of Communication and Poor Judgment…read more I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience with Go Dog off Miami Blvd leaves me no choice. In late spring, my 9-month-old puppy contracted Bordetella and a respiratory infection during his very first week of doggie day camp at Go Dog. While I chalked that up to bad luck and appreciated that illnesses can circulate in group dog settings, I was hopeful things would improve. He recovered fully, and we returned--until July, when things took a serious turn for the worse. I boarded my dog for 7 nights while I was out of the country. Despite the fact that he had fully recovered six weeks prior and I had gone out of my way to provide a formal clearance note from my vet, management decided--without my knowledge or consent--to isolate him from the other dogs. They made this decision unilaterally, completely dismissing my communication and the official veterinary documentation I provided. Not only did this show an alarming lack of communication and transparency, but it was also an incredibly poor judgment call that affected my dog's experience and well-being during his stay. There was zero accountability, no meaningful discussion, and no respect for the time I took to address their concerns proactively. Go Dog made a terrible decision, and I no longer trust them with my pet's care. I will never bring him back, and I urge other dog owners to think twice before entrusting their pets to this facility.

The team is so kind, and it's clear how much they love and care for every dog. I completely trust them with Luna, and knowing she's in such great hands gives me so much peace of mind.

Now she looks, feels, and smells amazing! I'm already looking forward to her next bath--maybe we'll try their new peach scent next time! If you're looking for a daycare or grooming service that truly cares about your pup, GoDog is the place to go!

They accommodated our timeframe requests for the number of visits we wanted him to have, administered his medication, catered to his picky eating habits, and showered him with lots of love. BCPS always had excellent communication and put us at ease when we were on trips. When our boy passed away last year, BCPS grieved along with us and sent the sweetest sympathy card in the mail. It meant so much. When the time is right, we will adopt another dog and will absolutely work with BCPS again. They are amazing.
