Now, I can take my dog out in public with control and peace of mind--something I never thought would be possible. I'm so grateful for the Sit Means Sit team for helping us get to this point!

Our pup, Packer was having issues at Daycare with other dogs. For our specific needs, Kris was creative and extremely flexible to get the results that we needed with our pup. We went to a few dog parks, used his own dogs at our home and did multiple locations and environment changes for our training. Kris was able to explain things to us in a way that made perfect sense and never made us feel poorly for our lack of knowledge in certain areas of training.

We met up with John & Molly to check out the facility and knew immediately that our dogs would be just fine. They took the time to get to know them, their needs and their routine. The dogs stability and safety are their priority, they maintain very clean kennels with happy dogs who are taken out for play multiple times a day. They maintain a regular schedule with the dogs they care for which is important for several reasons. They stayed with them for a week and came home excited but not nervous or upset at all. It's a family kennel, not a commercial operation. We have used them a couple times since and will continue to. We feel confident leaving our dogs with them each time without any hesitation and would highly recommend them.

I highly recommend NOT working with Accurate K9 Training! My 82 year old mother called this company…read moreto have a trainer come to her house to help her train her puppy AT HOME. Brittany Katterfeld took advantage of an elderly, vulnerable woman who lives alone by manipulating her into letting go of her puppy for supposedly an inboarding 3-week training. She took my mother's credit card number and charged 1/2 of the $3000.00 fee. Brittany offered no contract or paperwork to sign. My mother was very upset after Brittany left driving off with my mother's dog. The next two days involved my sister and I intervening to help my mother get her dog back as this was not what she wanted nor did she ever intend to spend that kind of money as she is on a limited income. Brittany agreed to meet us after two days as we explained the situation over the phone. She had been cooperative and met us at a parking lot so we could get the dog back; she even mentioned a refund. However, since that time she has been avoiding my mother's phone calls and texts. Interestingly, Brittany was very quick to answer while obtaining my mother's business. Now she avoids all contact and is a thief for keeping all of the $1500.00. Technically my mother only owes 3 nights of boarding and training and is willing to give well over the amount due for the trouble and confusion. What poor business, horrible work ethic and decency. Thumbs DOWN.

I wanted a trainer that not only used multiple training techniques and tools, but also was actively working her own dogs as well. At ~65# each it's very difficult to handle my dogs when they start going after each other. It was even more disheartening when my deaf 3yo pittie mix bit a friend. Both dogs are insecure and needed more direction and less opportunity to fail. The moment I contacted Brittany, she immediately made me feel that all hope wasn't lost and this could get better. We set up an appointment and she came in ready to make miracles happen! My dogs were also ready...they did not want to have anything to do with her. They were growling, lunging, snapping, and just behaving badly. Brittany stayed calm and reassured us that she wanted to see the naughtiness so that she could better help us. We were so embarrassed and nervous. She handled our dogs with care and control. By the end of our session our dogs were calm and obeying not only her, but us as well. She left giving us homework and we are so excited to start this process. I'm eager to see our dogs transform into the companions we know they can be. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that had dogs.

I am writing this review to document my personal experience so other pet owners can make an…read moreinformed decision. My dog, Koa, was boarded at this facility on two occasions: July 3-5 and July 10-14. I cannot determine during which stay he became ill. When I picked him up on July 14, he was noticeably lethargic and not acting like himself. Later that evening, his condition declined rapidly. He became disoriented, was unable to stand to go outside, and his temperature measured 106°F. He was rushed to an emergency veterinary clinic and admitted immediately. Over the next several days, Koa's condition was described as critical. His white blood cell count was dangerously low, he continued to spike high fevers despite continuous fluids and cooling measures, and he required round-the-clock hospitalization. Multiple veterinary teams repeatedly prepared me for the possibility that he might not survive. I was told more than once that his prognosis was very guarded and that we needed to be prepared for the worst. He underwent extensive diagnostic testing, including imaging and a bone marrow biopsy, and ultimately required transfer to Washington State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital for ICU-level and internal medicine care. He remained hospitalized for nearly a week. The drive to WSU was approximately an hour and a half each way, and I traveled whenever possible just to see him during limited visiting hours, not knowing if each visit might be my last. Despite exhaustive testing, no definitive source of illness was identified. Koa ultimately survived due to aggressive medical intervention, including prolonged steroid therapy and the advanced care provided by the critical care and internal medicine teams at Washington State University. His total medical expenses exceeded $12,000. The owner of the boarding facility was contacted on the morning of July 15 by my boyfriend to inform her of the situation and to ask whether any other dogs had been ill during that timeframe, as this information could have assisted with veterinary diagnostics. Although I am the legal owner of the dog and the individual listed on all veterinary and boarding paperwork, the facility owner never contacted me directly by phone or email. I would have expected direct communication with the registered owner during a medical emergency of this severity. To this day, she has never reached out to me personally. Koa survived, but his recovery was long and difficult. He required months of steroid therapy with significant side effects, including excessive thirst, increased urination, and loss of bladder control--none of which he had experienced previously. Initial attempts to taper him off steroids resulted in serious complications requiring further medical intervention. He ultimately required additional long-term medication and ongoing veterinary monitoring. The emotional distress of nearly losing a family member after trusting a facility to care for him is something I would not wish on anyone. Beyond the medical crisis itself, the lack of direct communication with me as the registered owner was particularly difficult. I am not making claims of legal fault or causation. I am sharing my experience. Pets are family, and facilities entrusted with their care carry a significant responsibility. I strongly encourage anyone considering boarding here to ask detailed questions about illness monitoring, emergency response procedures, and communication expectations. I sincerely hope others take the time to think carefully before entrusting their animals to this boarding facility.
