I make the drive from St Pete to Orlando because this is the only place I completely trust with my dogs. In July of 2024 I decided to make the training investement with both. I knew the mad skills and talents that Lexi & Tai have with dogs and both of mine needed the professional assistance. I enrolled them both together. Archie, is an incredibly stubborn 6 year old husky and Pongo is my overly excited, talking 10 month old Husky. They blend well together but they are not everyone's cup of tea! I trusted these two and their team and they did wonders with compassion, patience and professionalism! My dogs are the core of my world, so as most dog owners I worry how others treat my dogs when away. Lexi would touch in almost everyday, she communicated reports with honesty on progress & she let me know when a post of their training was hitting the social so I could feel better being apart. Recently, when I had to evacuate from St Pete during both of these recent hurricanes to Orlando, the team took them right in and explained to me the precautions and procedures they would be taking with them. This team even stayed overnight during the storms! Talk about going the extra mile. Lexi is amazing at communication and I still ask her questions about training because it's an everyday practice here with my two! Tai radiates love when he talks to the dogs. The staff is very professional, clean, organized and educates you on the different packages/pricing & knows your dog! Also they take great photography of the dogs! (photo of the work added!) Bottom line, if you found this facility and you If you love your dog(s) you struck gold!! I have been bringing them since they opened their doors and I will be loyal to this team forever. Note: my dogs could attend our wedding BECAUSE of Lexi and Tai's training with them.

Kiko loves it here and I can rest easy knowing that he is safe and being looked after.read more

For over 10 years, Doglando has been such an important part of our lives. They didn't just train…read moreour dogs, they trained us as humans too. The confidence, trust, and freedom they helped build between me and my dogs is something I'm endlessly grateful for. This past weekend I was able to take my dogs hiking in the mountains completely off leash with full confidence, and honestly, that kind of experience is priceless. Watching your dogs explore freely while knowing they are safe, responsive, and connected to you is such an incredible feeling. I truly cannot imagine our lives without the staff at Doglando. They have walked alongside us for so many years with patience, wisdom, encouragement, and genuine love for both dogs and people. What they've given us goes far beyond training. They've given us freedom, confidence, and countless memories we never would have had otherwise. Forever grateful for this team!

I would strongly recommend against this company and location, unfortunately…read more I attended multiple sessions with my dog last Fall on a routine weekly basis, including Obedience and then several Agility courses once he had graduated to that level. The instructors were all helpful and I loved seeing my dog's progress. We were diligent about attending and practicing. When both my grandfather and mother fell ill and died within 3 months of each other during the holiday season of 2024, I could no longer make the sessions with my dog. Truly they were forgotten during this time of extreme hardship. A couple months later when I could breathe again, I remembered our sessions and went to reserve a class but couldn't because my package had expired. I called and was told that nothing could be done, as this was the policy. These are privately-owned franchise locations, and the owners have the ability to create and revise policies to help their customers - it is their choice to take a customer's money in upfront packages and then refuse to extend any goodwill or flexibility. The classes I attended were rarely full. It would not have hurt their business in any way to allow me to utilize the classes I had already purchased. Looking at other reviews, they have a pattern of treating customers this way. If they had let me use the classes that I bought, I surely would've kept coming and even bought more sessions. But it's not worth it to me to support a business that treats its customers like this.

We have been going to classes since she was just over 6th months old, we were biweekly/weekly for the first year and a half and now we pop in every few months for practice. We did a few private classes to troubleshoot issues and those were very productive and I felt the staff went above and beyond helping my dog overcome her fear of the teeter. The staff is incredible, they are all welcoming, kind and so knowledgeable. They have great suggestions in fixing behaviors and ate always willing to help with different training techniques. I would still go weekly if I could, and I fully plan to take all of my future puppies/dogs here for training and socializing.

I cannot say enough great things about Wagging Willow and Susan! Have you ever met someone and felt…read morethat they were doing what they were born to do? That's Susan. Her training program is fun, informative, and effective. I first came to Susan after a recommendation from a close friend. My dog Chloe needed some help learning her proper manners. After the very first class I knew we were in good hands. Susan's training is based on positive reinforcement. Chloe passed through the first and second courses with flying colors. She is now in her third course and is on track to graduate with the Canine Good Citizen certification. We recently adopted another dog that needs training and I knew exactly where to go! Ruby has learned so much after only two classes! If you have a puppy or a dog that needs training I highly recommend Wagging Willow. You will have fun with your pupper, learn a lot, and form a deeper bond with your furry family member.

Their entire team has provided the best possible experience we could ever expect from a dog training service. Both the in-home one-on-one trainings and the group trainings have been such a blessing to our miniature dachshund puppies. The improvement they have shown has been unbelievable and we owe it all to the Wagging Willow team. We want to give an extra special shoutout to Susan for the constant tips and advice about food, potty training, and literally anything else we need. She puts in so much extra time and effort. She has truly gone above and beyond our expectations for a dog trainer. I can't imagine a better experience than we've had with Susan. If you have a dog, you need training with Wagging Willow. I recommend them to any dog owner, novice (like us) or experienced. Tell them Hazel and Honey sent you. :)

The staff is so kind and informative. They let you know if there were any concerns with your pets behavior or eating habits. They are super accommodating and allow you to bring your pets favorite toy or treats and even their bed for boarding. They keep detailed notes and ensure they understand what your pets needs are and how to care for them . They even administer meds for your pet. They have surveillance and you can watch you pet play during the day using the odoggy app. You only have access to the cameras at night if your pet is staying in a VIP room. They have treat options like hot dogs and ice cream and grooming options for your pet during their stay. My favorite time is when I pick my pup up and she is so happy to see me and the staff provides a picture and/ or report card of how her stay went. Nice size parking lot and right off the highway for pet parents.., little shop inside for last minute needs, they also have indoor and outdoor areas for the pups and a puppy pool. Prices are going up a few dollars in September but currently a small room is $53 per night.. I believe VIP is $75 per night but is a larger room with a TV and camera access for pet parents. They do have a fees for late pickups and different things so just keep in mind because that can add up quickly. All in all my pups loves this place and sleeps for two days after all the playing she does while here. This will continue to be my go to. Even with the pending price increase, they are right in line with similar boarding facilities in the area

We have been bringing our dog to this place for years, so it is very disappointing to have to write…read morethis review. Our dog is an Alaskan Malamute, a breed with a double coat that generally should not be completely shaved. We brought him in for a regular grooming appointment. It is true that he had a lot of hair and some tangles, which has happened before and was previously resolved with brushing and proper grooming. Our dog also gets nervous during grooming, so he was even medicated beforehand to make the process easier. A few hours after dropping him off, we received a call saying that his hair was very tangled and that the option would be to cut it shorter. We understood this to mean trimming it short, but it was never clearly explained that they were planning to completely shave him and remove his entire coat. If we had known that the result would be this drastic, we would not have approved it. When we picked him up, we found that he had been almost entirely shaved. This is especially concerning for a breed like a Malamute, since their coat plays an important role in protecting their skin and regulating body temperature. Since then, our dog has been extremely uncomfortable, very sensitive to the floor, and constantly licking his skin. We had to research on our own how to care for him now that he no longer has his natural protection, as we were not given clear aftercare instructions when we picked him up. Additionally, the grooming service cost around $500, which we find excessive considering the outcome and the lack of communication about what was actually going to be done. Another issue that had concerned us during previous visits was that, despite the high price of grooming for a dog with a thick coat, our dog was sometimes returned still damp, with the explanation that his coat was too thick to fully dry. However, that is exactly why a professional grooming service is being paid for. We understand that grooming a dog with a heavy coat can be challenging, but in this case it felt like there was a serious lack of clear communication with the owners before making such a drastic decision. We would have appreciated a proper explanation of the options and possible consequences. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing for us, and we do not plan to return.

I recently…read moreadopted my beautiful pitbull Pepper and I wanted to keep her active, healthy, and socialized with other dogs. That's when I found Natural Instincts on a Google search and decided to give it a shot. I signed up for the agility classes. For 99$ you can attend agility class either Saturday or Sunday morning for 6 sessions. The sessions expire within 12 weeks so when Pepper had to take a break because she got spayed, it was absolutely no issue. The majority of the class is focused on doing the agility course, but they also practice other things such as proper leash walking. The owner runs the class but there are always atleast 2-3 other trainers around to help. Pepper loves agility! She is a couch potato at heart but when she's at agility class she is always having a blast running and just being around dogs. A lot of obedience classes and dog day cares unfortunately discriminate against pitbulls but at Natural Instincts they are extremely bully friendly. Oh and they always have someone with a professional camera taking amazing pics of you & your dog. It's definitely nice having all these wonderful pictures of my dog (it's not like my camera isn't already full of pics of her). I have one week left from this 6 week package but I'll definitely purchase a new 6 week pass next class.

My husband and I were running errands and we both wanted a burger. My husband had been before but I hadn't and he suggested Mutts. I told him I wanted to dine in, and not drive through and he told me there was an indoor dining area. Well, we went inside to a small but good sized eating area with trivia questions on the table. Bonus! The trivia questions were fun to play while we waited. The order taker was very nice and so was the server. It was noticeable that a burger joint had service with a smile. That is rare now! A plus! The burgers were delicious. None of that smash burger business here, just hand made (open kitchen) burgers that were juicy, and delicious. We had onion rings and fries and they were delicious as well. We went for the trifecta and had milkshakes too-also fabulous! I really think that these burgers along with the friendly service are worth a drive if you don't live near St.Cloud.

Great food I love the greasy burgers, but I don't love the price if they had better operation times where they can make up for their pricing I think would benefit them. I've never spent so much on just a drink alone at a restaurant, but I will tell you, the owners are quite friendly and very lovable. I don't have a problem supporting a small town business, but it's not a place that I'm gonna go too often. I'm raking my stars off of pricing and for the last two times I've been there. It just looked very grungy. This place needs a little lift me up in a deep cleaning.
