I see that this place is not on Yelp, but it should be. People "in the know," like veterinarians,…read morealready know it and regard it highly. The business website does not give an exact address, so I'm doing what I can here to point out this business. It is Elder Rd., maybe 20 yards south of Day, on the right if you're headed south. My dog, who is now 5-and-a-half years old, had his puppy "kindergarten" here years ago--basic leash and manners training, some exposure to agility tasks, etc. The proprietor, Antoinette, is skilled, professional, smart, experienced, patient, everything you could want. I know that many people go on to do agility training with her for competition. For myself, my contact with her since puppy training has been going to her scheduled playtimes every so often and, especially, boarding during holiday and other trips. That's why I categorize this place under boarding rather than training, although she does both very wonderfully. To get more detailed: I spent some time taking my dog (a Brittany) to Linda's Camp K-9. I think that place is great, but I feel that my dog was a bit overtaxed by the all-day, open experience of the place. Not to be too graphic--but, hey, it's facts--when I left him there for the day while I was at work, he would have runny stools. One cause of that in dogs is excessive stress. He's an excitable and high energy boy, and a day at Camp K-9 would definitely leave him collapsed on the floor for the rest of the day to the morrow. When I want to board my dog for a few days or a week, I prefer Top Hat & Tails, because she releases the dogs a few times a day, pays close attention to them individually (she's a smaller operation), and I think his overall level of stress is lessened while his needs for running and sociality are still met. No runny stools. Now, I don't want to be dissing on Camp k-9--I'm pretty sure if I said only to let my dog out for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, then they might be able to do that (but I don't think they're set up to do that with all the dogs there; that would require a lot of crates). If you have a high-energy dog prone to excitement, then Top Hat is probably a preferable environment.

My Portuguese Water My Portuguese Water Dog, Laker, was attacked by a Pit Bull while at Bunk and…read moreBiscuit for training and boarding. I was out of town on my way to Florida when the incident occurred on November 19, 2024, which was the first morning of my trip. My sister was called and quickly rushed Laker to Kryder Vet in Granger, IN. The vet decided not to traumatize him that day, so the following day, they had to put him under anesthesia to clean his wounds. I changed my flights and returned home immediately. Laker is not just a pet; he is part of the family and an AKC show dog who has won many awards. Will Short, the owner of Bunk and Biscuit, stated that the medical bills would be covered by the owner of the Pit Bull. Laker has had to visit a groomer multiple times to remove mats, and he has been seeing Dr. Block weekly, as recommended by Kryder, to help him recover from the trauma. This was the first time something like this had ever happened to him. It took four staff members to get the Pit Bull off Laker. Bunk and Biscuit has live cameras throughout the facility, allowing owners to watch their dogs. When I requested the footage the next day, I was informed it was no longer available. Will then began contacting my vet to alter the details of what actually occurred and downplayed the incident. I had to instruct my vet not to communicate with him further. Since Laker was a puppy, he has been coming to Bunk twice a week, sometimes more, totaling thousands of dollars over the course of just over a year. Multiple staff members have confided in me about what happened and that Will is attempting to cover it up. However, he is now refusing to pay the vet bills, the groomer's fees, and the expenses incurred with Dr. Block. Will has become very confrontational. Laker also picked up Kennel Cough from there and Will never covered those costs and refused to tell other clients about it.

My 6 year old border collie had always been a nervous dog and did not like strangers around her…read more She would nip at people without warning, so we did not take her anywhere. Even though our family was pretty social, she was never part of our social life. When people came over, we put her in a locked room. She rarely went in the car anyplace, and going to the vet was a nightmare. Last summer, I turned Aubrey's world upside down. I got married and moved into a new house. This household included another dog and a special needs 26 year old. The first few weeks were stressful. Aubrey was very anxious and my stepson did not read her cues. There were a few bite incidents and nobody could relax. I didn't know what to do and thought I would have to surrender my dog. I looked online and saw Kasten's Dog Training, which I knew to be close to my new house in Elkhart. I truly doubted that anyone could help my six year old dog. I called and scheduled an online interview. I remember feeling very optimistic after that first phone call. Right away, I felt like there was someone who understood what we were going through, and was going to help me keep my dog. I had nothing much to lose, so I signed her up! Aubrey participated in Program 5- Behavioral Modification for Aggressive Dogs and Dogs with a Bite History. She spent 21 days at Kasten's split into two sessions. After the first 9 days, I came to pick her up and immediately noticed a difference in her demeanor. She completed the second half of her training right before Christmas. When my son came home college, he was shocked to see how much better she was behaving. She had a new confidence and was no longer so anxious. She was a treat to take on walks and we didn't have to worry about her darting out the door anytime it opened. We have taken Aubrey to Kasten's for boarding several times in the past year. Being able to board her, and know she is safe, has been such a blessing. The fact that she was receiving refreshers as she stayed there was an added bonus. Before coming to Kasten's, I never would have even thought that I could board her anywhere. The trainers at Kasten's were so helpful and did such a great job with Aubrey. They worked tirelessly with her, and I could see the extra effort that they put in to get her to feel more comfortable, and eventually enjoy training sessions. Kasten's Dog Training has improved our family's life. We can now enjoy our active social lives and include Aubrey. She jumps happily into her kennel when told, walks on a leash like a show dog and even goes on trips to the hardware store several times a month. She and my stepson have a mutual understanding, and both of them feel much safer around each other. Making that phone call to Kasten's was truly one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Thank you to everyone at Kasten's - you have made such a difference in our lives!

Unfortunately, after…read morepaying for the service today my husband was told that they can't groom him anymore because he's too large...and referenced his weight which was 20 pounds more than his actual weight. Over the course of all the times we have taken Bear to be groomed, it was never relayed to us that his size was an issue. And then to top it off, she asked if he's on a plan to lose weight!! How unfortunate to not only state an incorrect weight but to imply that our dog is overweight is so unprofessional. What has changed over the year or so we've been taking him? And they're relaying this information as his nail is badly bleeding from them clipping it too low. We have never received any feedback or concerns with Bear until today when we were told they're done grooming him. He is a Great Pyrenees, which is a very large dog. His back aligns with my hip when standing next to me. What changed over all these months? No warnings, no feedback...just attempts at fat shaming. Guess what Gordon's..you guys aren't a vet. You guys are rude, unprofessional, and just downright wrong.
