The beds were removed to wash but never returned. They had to sleep on the concrete floor for most of their stay. They did put a comforter in there for 1 night. But it was peed on because pee pads that I supplied were not put down. So after that was removed, they had nothing. The camera is grainy at best especially at night. And my dogs stayed by the glass doors so I couldn't see them most of the time as the camera didn't show that area. So it was useless to pay for that when 90% of the time, you can't see them. It made me sick to look at the camera and not see any beds! My dogs will not be coming back! What's not in the photo? My dogs or beds!

Before we found Surf City Pawville, he would struggle with groomers, and often times it could take up to an hour to get the job done. The staff at Surf City Pawville definitely have the right touch because from day one, my boy has not had an issue and is in and out inside of a few minutes. I haven't had a need for boarding or day care, but if I do, I'm certain my guy will feel loved and enjoy the experience. He loves his friends here and always seems so happy to visit.

We sent him so he would learn to ignore our cat. We got back a dog who does that, and so much more. He heels, he listens and behaves in spite of his enormous puppy energy. We are so happy!

Okay, I haven't tried their training program but my puppy Levi and I attended their puppy social…read morehour. It was super easy to sign up on their website and it was only $10 so I said why not. Levi absolutely loved this structured socializing hour and had a blast. On top of making a new doberman bestie, we also got a lot of training tips and advice from the trainer, Charisma. We even worked on a little loose leash training and a new trick called "place." I wasn't expecting so much for only $10! After our first social hour, Levi became the most loving puppy ever! What was once an energizer bunny is now a chill and cuddly K-9. I don't know what magic they did to my dog but I highly recommend bringing your puppy here!! I truly wish I didn't spend all my money on another training business because I would've loved for Levi to do their day training program. I really hope they have an adult dog social hour in the future. Levi is rapidly outgrowing the rest of these puppies and would love an adult doggy date.

I joined with WCDT for puppy training with my little guy Odin. I wanted a trainer specifically that…read moredidn't soley rely on shock collar training due to the small size of my dog (as well as I knew I would not be comfortable following through with that type of training at home). From my first conversation, this decision was never met with an issue in our communications which was my reason for moving forward with training my pup with this fabulous duo. There was great communication, and lots of post regarding my Odin's progress between in person visits. My wants in training were clearly defined, discussed and implemented over his in-stay with the facility. I had some reservations with my tiny 3lb spoiled puppy with his paw lotion, eye wipes and holiday themed attire amongst giant working dogs at first; but it was shortly deemed irrelevant as he decided he was just a big dog in disguise disputing my attempts otherwise lol! I am very grateful for the leadership, knowledge and help WCDT has given myself and my pup. Taking on a new puppy was not part of my 2025, and I am very appreciative of the advice and knowledge extended with the program offered. (As well as the minor therapist sessions in listening to me talk about my dog that had recently passed; I appreciate that more than I can express.) I would 100% recommend!

Wish I took my dog to receive training from Wild Child from the very beginning! I have so much…read moreregrets paying hundreds of dollars on another training facility instead of taking him here. I was referred to Wild Child from our local PetSmart. I inquired through email for their Stay and Train program as I wanted my dog to be boarded but also not forget his training or pick up bad habits. My dog stayed here for 5 days. I obsessively stalked their Instagram for updates as they post cute videos of my dog once a day. I can tell he was well taken care of and so happy to be there. Upon pickup, I felt like my dog was a new boy! They worked on him with door manners and he doesn't bolt out the door. My other concern was jumping on people. We passed by a man and my dog actually sat down right in front of him and got lots of pets! I was so impressed!! My dog also seemed more relaxed. He was a hyper furball who needed to be up and running 24/7 before I dropped him off at Wild Child. Now he's okay with laying down and chilling. He is also fine with taking naps in his crate now! He used to bark for hours on end when I crate him during the day. I can't wait to take him back. My dog seemed very sad to leave this facility and I'm sure he would be so thrilled to return. Thank you for taking great care of my furbaby.

I Highly recommend Rauf, if your searching for a talented, extremely knowledgeable, and personable…read moredog trainer. It was amazing how fast he gained respect from both of my dogs just after one lesson. Rauf, not only teaches you the proper techniques to connect with your pup, but most importantly teaches you how to be a strong pack leader in the eyes of your pack. This experience has taught me how to be a more confident leader in the eyes of my dogs. I would highly suggest Rauf to anyone looking to be a solid leader for your pack!!

My family hired you to help us "train" or 2 dogs. Your methods and techniques were not what we…read moreexpected. Before we began we thought it would be easy. We thought after 6 hour long sessions our dogs would be "trained" long after your help. Your education and knowledge shared with us changed our mindset. Because of you and your dedication to service we learned we had to acknowledge our behaviors that were unhealthy for our relationship with our dogs. Because of you we realized we were going about it all wrong and had to acknowledge that. We had to listen better and become more consistent in our interactions with our pets. We had to establish a new relationship with them that communicated to them that we are the Alphas in the home and any where they were with us. Ultimately, you showed us changes that we needed to make in us so that we could get our desired outcome with our pets. It was our responsibility to accept the change. Your insight into the behavior of K9s is unprecedented and your program is like no other we have researched. I WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO SPEAK HIGHLY IF YOU AND YOUR SERVICE! It is my opinion that those that do not get the results simply failed to practice the proven systems you have created. I am confident your contributions to the relationships with K9s and their owners far outweigh those that fail to use the system consistently. Thank you for giving us the tools and insight that has allowed our relationship with our four legged kids better than it has ever been. I rate your service

Austin is an absolute lifesaver. We brought our German/Dutch shepherd mix puppy to him at 8/9…read moremonths old. She was HIGHLY reactive and very difficult to walk -- wanted to bark and pull and even snap at dogs, squirrels, and people alike. In addition, she has mega E. Austin was unbelievably thoughtful with us, incredibly responsive, and adjusted training for her medical needs. He's a professional in every sense of the word, but he also feels like a friend. It's clear that he loves dogs deeply and since we first met him he's offered his time to us to call or text with any questions anytime. We also did private lessons for our 6.5 year old German Shepherd so he wouldn't make Lula (the puppy) revert, and it's been life-changing being able to calm them both down with the commands Austin trained them on. In short, we would recommend Austin time and time and time again, without a moment's hesitation. It's an investment for sure, but it's given us huge peace of mind and brought us so much more calm at home (a huge plus since I work from home, too!). Cannot recommend him highly enough.

I was ready to walk out of the store when I was approached by the manager who noticed the look on my face. I explained I have a German Shepherd puppy who requires certain things as she can not chew or eat just anything. Raven has a delicate system and on top of that if she were to get a hold of a toy she could destroy it would pose a risk to her life if it were ingested. The manager pointed out a couple of things that would work for Raven. He was very patient and understanding of my concerns. The manager is a shining example of what customer service is and what should be.
