She kicked our dog out of boarding for "lunging at" another dog that she brought into the room without a slow introduction, expected us to pick her up immediately when we were on vacation, and refused to provide a refund for the night of care we didn't use. She kept our dog in a non-dog-proofed "she shed" by herself for several hours after the incident and was upset that our dog caused damage to that space. I do not think it is unreasonable to expect that a dog boarding business that cares for multiple dogs has a plan for when dogs don't get along, and that such a business should be able to handle incidents without expecting folks on vacation to drop everything to come get the dog.

It just occurred to me that I have never left a review for Seattle Canine Solutions. Shame on…read moreme!! Sharon helped me years ago and I still thank her (in my head) every day for teaching me how to be the best 'Pack Leader' to my best friend on four legs... Nola (The Wonder Dog)! Nola rescued me when she arrived at Seatac (from a Texas shelter) back in 2013. It was obvious from the start that my sensitive girl had been through some tough times and I was going to need some help in figuring things out. Sharon was incredible, right from the start! She taught me how to be patient and understand Nola's behavior... and most importantly, how to react and 'check' my own behavior. Sharon taught me so much in such a short period of time. Although Sharon, Nola & I haven't met 'on the regular' in many years, I still call on her when something pops up. I also like Sharon a bunch (as a person) & consider her a good Pal! So... in short, SHARON ROCKS! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to be the best Pack Leader they can be... and a little bit more :)

We met with Sharon once and think she is AMAZING! She has invaluable experience and advice, and we…read morecan already tell that she will make a huge difference in our lives and our dogs lives. We adore our pups and see that we can all benefit so much more from positive reinforcement/ training. Our pups have been stressed on our City walks and we are optimistic we can enjoy this and much more with the right tools and training. We just adopted a sweet rescue after losing our much older dog and Sharon is gonna help us and our other sweet dog have fun and be a family. She is that good, we trust her and are going to take all of her suggestions as it means so much to us. Seriously...look at these two... we are lucky that they already love each other...now we just have to ALL be better behaved!

Shannon just took care of my zoo while I was away for five days. I have not always had the best…read moreexperiences with people caring for my animals. In fact, one time, hiring a non professional resulted in a neglectful tragedy so I was quite nervous and decided to this time hire a professional pet/house sitter. I am so glad I did. She cared for my 95 pound dog, 4 cats and my not so friendly bird. Shannon is not just professional, she is warm and loving to my kids. She is smart and able to handle whatever situation comes up with problem solving and common sense. The kind of common sense that comes from knowing animals. She watched for signs of how they were all doing, stress levels, needs, everything. I got texts that made me laugh and made it clear that she was caring for them as if they were her own. Also, some of the other pet/house sitters I talked to stay from 7 in the evening to 7 in the morning. I prefer Shannon's flexible schedule so that she is in and out during the day as well as sleeping there. She brought her young son with her for the overnights and he is a delight. He loooooooves animals and my animals loved him. Him coming along gives you a twofer. I hope she is available the next time I need to go away so I can leave without the stress of wondering if my pets are safe and cared for. Thank you Shannon!

Much to my surprise, she responded to my e-mail right away and said she would love to meet Moose and me, and that she had availability - even though I was asking for Christmas week! Shannon is warm and caring toward dogs and to her customers. She treated Moose like a member of the family, and I had absolutely no concern about leaving him - despite his usual separation anxiety and having never boarded him in my year and a half of ownership - with Shannon and her family. She was quick to respond to a check-in e-mail, and when I picked Moose up, he was happy, healthy, and maybe even a little bit reluctant to leave! I'd highly recommend Dog In, Dog Out, and Shannon, and I'll be sure to come back when I go out of town again!

She sends me updates and photos with each visit. My one little Chihuahua is a tough one to crack and Kelly was able to break through quickly and now does a little wiggly dance when Kelly visits them. It warms my heart that I have found someone to trust with my babies and I appreciate not having a revolving door of sitters entering my home. She has an excellent background in emergency veterinary care and animal rescue which gives her a unique advantage in recognizing any potential problems with your pet while you are away. She visits my pets at the same times each day so they get used to the routine. Her terms/means for accepting payment are flexible and I appreciate that. Thank you Kelly for your reliable and dependable service!!

I am very picky about who I trust Dahlia's well being with and she couldn't be in better and more caring hands than Lacey. She is very experienced and really tailor's her approach to the needs of each dog she walks and cares for. Dahlia is reactive on leash to other dogs and reacts to cats and also has a lot of fears and anxiety but her confidence has grown and she really looks forward to her solo outings with Lacey. There are so many words I would use to describe Lacey: professional, kind, dedicated, caring, patient, thoughtful, creative, resourceful, dependable, and most of all trustworthy.

Before he joined the pack, Leslie did a few training sessions with him and is always happy to answer my questions. She is very knowledgeable and so great with dogs! You can tell she loves what she is doing and cares a lot about each pack member. (Follow her on Instagram, she posts super creative photos or videos of her pack almost every day.) Our dog is very excitable and we had some leash reactivity issues, which we've been working on for a while. We notice that he is more relaxed and more trainable around other dogs since he started doing the pack walks with Leslie. She is very clear in her communication with our dog and does set boundaries, which is awesome. We are so thankful for her. Highly recommended!

Then, next to a park full of children he started screaming curse words out the window. When I rolled down my window to ask what his problem was he gunned the gas like he was going to crash into me and then slammed on the breaks again. This guy is clearly unbalanced. I would not trust him with my dog or the keys to my house.

Firstly, Kelley is extremely professional and even came to meet us and our dog before taking us on. She helped us take care of our pup when she got sick and even took stool samples for us to the vet since we are both at work during the day. She has been able to handle all sorts of emergencies when our dog was suddenly sick with a stomach bug and when her nose got bitten playing at the park (not Kelley's fault! Dogs are dogs after all). Kelley has also been super flexible when our schedules change and she has even dog sat for us last minute! I know for sure Kelley is the best because whenever we bump into her on the street with our dog, our dog goes absolutely bonkers. Sometimes I think she gets more excited to see her than us! Kelley is the best and I highly recommend her services. You and your dog will not be disappointed!

So approx. 15 mins instruction and training per dog. Class is 1.5 hrs. My roommate paid for the series of classes.. and unplanned she ended up in the hospital Emergency Room and had to have emergency orthopedic surgery. She texted and left a VM that she wouldn't be attending the classes the night before class started and asked to Be refunded the $275. They told her said NO to a refund.Too bad if you have an emergency. Our class isn't full and we couldn't fill the spot. But we will let you pay another $137.50 to sign up for another series in the future. So they kept the initial $275. And my roomie paid another 137.50 to be able to take said classes once she's all healed up and can walk again. They gave her a credit of 137.50 if she signed up to take the classes again. If she didn't there is no refund!! So that is 412.50 for 5 classes at approx 15min of ins time each week. So that ends up being a hour and 1/2 of instruction for 412.50. Holy Crap!! A huge rip off and absolutely crap business management for Dogs day out. Ok and my roomie has worked in the dog business in W Seattle for over 30 yrs and has referred dozens of dogs to this establishment over this years. She is going to take the classes that she paid 412.50 for so she isn't out the full amount she paid. But what a huge crock of doo doo. A poor business rule and my god she had to have emergency surgery. I know for a fact she will never refer another client to them or ever return to Dogs Day out for any classes herself. If I were her I'd also let my dog clients who she's referred to this biz about this if it comes up in convo. About this practise. Whatever happened to professional courtesy between biz owners in the same dog world. Or compassion when they end up having emergency surgery. I for one am really floored by this experience my roomie is going through!!!
