Susan was AMAZING! ! I called her in a last min pinch to take care of my dogs last weekend.. When I…read moresay a pinch i mean i called her Thursday morning and she was feeding my dogs on Friday afternoon. When she came to meet us for the first time you can tell that she is really an animal lover! She was went over everything that she was going to do and how she was going to take care of my 2 very large and crazy dogs. This was not even the best part. While I was out of town she sent me a thorough explanation of how her visit was and everything that she had done with the dogs! Best part is she sent 3 pictures with every visit so we could see how happy the dogs were. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs the dogs walked while you have a long day at the office or if you are going out of town for any period of time! She was great and i will be using her sooner than later!

I have a 15 year old, newly blind dog. When I inquired about another kennel at my vet, they said…read morethey have heard good things about Trails End so I decided to check them out. I'm so glad I did! They do day visits which has allowed me to be away from the house for more than 3 hours at a stretch. Sight seeing here I come! I have had them come twice to take my dog out to potty and give him some attention. Both times I have received pictures and a cute report. When I got home he was contentedly sleeping in his bed. At one vet visit I mentioned to the vet tech that we would be boarding our dog later in the year, so needed the appropriate vaccines. She started to advise against boarding an old, blind dog until I told her we were going to Trails End. Her attitude suddenly changed and she said, "Oh, if your using Trails End that's great. They do a wonderful job and it is more like they are in a home." My son is coming to visit in July and I am so happy to be able to take my son to D.C. sightseeing and know that my sweet little dog will be given loving care while we are gone.

When I first met with Jay during our evaluation my pup Nalani was very afraid and unsure of someone…read morenew being in our home. She would not go near him or listen to any commands we tried to use. Jay explained to us the approach he would use during training and I told him about the different goals I had for Nalani. I did some research after our evaluation with Jay and decided that he would be the best fit for us and for training Nalani. There are two things that really stood out with Jay compared to the other companies I looked at, the first being that the was no shock collar involved and the second being that all training was done in home with me or my husband. These were important to me because I didn't want to rely on a collar for my dog to listen and I didn't want to send her away to train, I wanted to build that bond with her so we would continue to succeed long after training. That being said we are now two months post training and Nalani does not miss a beat; she listens the first time for all commands and has quickly learned new ones on top of what she already knows! Just to touch on the training aspect there are few things Nalani learned with Jay that I never believed would be possible or even imagined to train her myself. We live in a split level house and before Jay our dog would run and bark at whoever was at the door no matter the person. On our first official training day we were taught how to instruct her to stay at the top of the steps whenever someone rings the door bell and stay there until released. When Jay told us that was our first goal I thought to myself NEVER in a million years will this work! Well, it did! This is just one of the many simple commands that Jay taught us and I never would have thought of myself. It will also be one that will come in handy for a very long time. Another part of her training was to sit whenever told during walks, not to get distracted, and not to pull on the leash. This one took a bit more training but Jay persisted, he kept at it and showed us different techniques to use during our walks to accomplish leash manners. Now I hardly have to even hold the leash and Nalani stays right at my side and never pulls the leash. The last thing I'd like to mention is off leash walking, this was my biggest goal of the entire training, everything else was great but ultimately I wanted to be able to take my dog anywhere and not worry about her running off when not attached to a leash. After Nalani mastered the other training techniques Jay taught us it was time for the off leash training. This actually was learning on my part, I needed to trust my dog and show her confidence to be off leash. It was unbelievable the first time she did it effortlessly. No leash, right at my side, and I had no worry of her running off!! To end this long review and get to the point, Jay is an absolutely amazing trainer! He went above and beyond training Nalani; he met all of my expectations plus more. I have no regrets choosing him as our trainer and plan to use him for any future dog's training. Jay truly cares for the dogs he trains and its obvious the compassion and love he has as a trainer. I would highly suggest him to anyone looking for effective and lasting training.

I called on a Monday to book a stay for the upcoming weekend for two nights. The next day found out trip had to be postponed due to covid and called immediately to cancel the reservation I had just booked 24 hours ago. Because their policy is that a reservation must be cancelled at least 10 days prior, I would not be able to recover my 50 percent deposit (of $55). I understand the policy, but many businesses allow a grace period of at least 24 hours, or at least issue a credit to the account. Also, I'm glad it was only a two night stay/$55 deposit and not more. This is the first time I've ever had to cancel but sadly I won't be returning so as not to have this happen again, which I mentioned to them but got no response.
