Marshall our rescue boy was sent to James for in-boarding training to become my service dog…read more Throughout Marshall's training James kept us informed via messages, photos and with videos of Marshall's training in progress. Marshall became very fond of James and his colleagues and it gave us a sense of ease that Marshall was enjoying his training and new work. James even took Marshall home with him and Out into public places like red restaurants and in stores etc. Marshall is now a very confident and well trained service dog accompanying me to many hospitals whilst I undergo hours of treatments, scans and office visits. I absolutely recommend James and his positive training methods whether it's obedience training or other training. I have included some photos/video of Marshall at hospital and in the grocery store. James has turned an abused rescue dog into my shadow and we are both enjoying traveling together without worry. 5/5*****

Scrappy has come a long way and so have we in the way that we teach him. We are very happy with the training we received and would highly recommend to others.

I called on a Tuesday, they were able to work my 2 male dogs in for a Friday after my usual…read moreboarding had let me down in a clench. My neighbors had boarded their dog here before and said they were satisfied with the service. Called Friday and got directions. Directions were good. Facility seemed clean. I didn't see in back except for a glimpse, kind of reminded me of the animal shelter cages. On the opposite side I had noted that there are outside runs. Had been told on phone it was $18 a piece for dogs (no difference that I have 1 dog over 100 pounds, second one is 50 pound pit mix). Other charges would be "explained" when I got there. Was told $20 extra for bath, which is a pretty good deal. I said if they could bathe the pit, great, worried my Great Pyrenees would get away. He's strong, can leap fences and he's a runner. Would be $5 per day each for a "nature walk". Well, they are supposed to be let outside 2 times a day anyway and, again, afraid bigger dog would get away. $3 a piece per day for them to play in the high fenced "atrium" for about 1/2 hour. I o.k.'d this. Kennels are open until 4:30 Sundays, 5:30 rest of week. I told them that I would pick them up on Monday as I doubted I would be able to make it back into town before 4:30 Sunday. Picked up my boys before closing Monday. Bill $199.80. Not itemized in any way. Seemed high for 3 nights, even including above, given their quotes. Staff seemed distracted and had even started filling out intake paperwork on the third dog I had brought with me when I came to pick up the boys instead of immediately bringing out the male dogs. Dogs appeared well taken care of though. My pit mix was clearly clean. Staff seem genuinely fond of the dogs. So I feel that they got good care and would use Shamrock Stables again and recommend them. However; it bears noting that they charge (I was figuring my own bill and checked the back of the slip that they GIVE you AFTER you sign) for the day that you drop them off and the night that you pick them up (even though they close at 5:30 p.m.) Now, if this were explained, that would be better. If this were a PARTIAL charge, it would be fair, especially as 5:30 p.m. is really an EARLY time to close then charge you for the UPCOMING NIGHT. In fact, had I picked them up at 12 noon they would STILL HAVE CHARGED ME FOR THE UPCOMING NIGHT. WHICH IS SHEER GREED. SO, I HAD DOGS WHO STAYED FOR 75 HOURS AND I GET CHARGED FOR 96 HOURS.THUS 4 STARS WHERE I WOULD HAVE GIVEN 5 STARS FOR A LITTLE LESS GREED. But, the staff was great, greed is on the owner.

I dropped my dogs off on Friday evening, along with a tote bag of their food bowls, pre-portioned…read moreand labeled bags of food, and two blankets. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and made me feel at ease. The facility smelled as good as boarding facility can, and seemed clean. She took down my food instructions (since I had brought my own food and requested that they were fed what I brought), and she wrote a description of my blankets. She told me that they wash the blankets, so the description would help them go back to the correct dog when they come out of the dryer. She asked if my dogs had any allergies, etc. Sounds awesome, right? I returned to pick up my dogs on Tuesday mid-morning. I was charged appropriately, $18 per dog, per day, plus tax. Here's where I ran into problems...when the blankets were handed back to me, they were so dirty that I had to put them in a trash bag just to get them into my car. There is no way they had been washed. As a result of not having blankets clean enough to lay on my car seats, I now need my car's interior cleaned from the dirt on my dogs paws. I guess that's my lesson in not bringing extra blankets. I won't make that mistake again. I didn't even bring that to the staff's attention, because I had a bigger issue. I had sent my own food for a reason. My dachshund has thyroid issues that make her overweight. She is on a calorie-counted diet. When I opened the bag I sent with them, only ONE portion of food for each dog was missing. So I thought either my dogs didn't get fed for 4 of the 5 days, or they fed them something else. I immediately called and asked what had happened, and received a return call a short time later from the owner. He said that the person in charge of my dogs for the weekend had difficulty getting them to eat their food the first night. So they looked at their info card, saw no allergies, and took it upon themselves to feed my dogs the kennel's food. The owner said that they have a procedure for this, if a dog won't eat, the staff member is to call the owner for advice, and then call the customer and ASK PERMISSION to feed the dogs something else. No one called me for permission. No one called me at all. The owner said that this will prompt a staff meeting about policy. That's fine and dandy, but does nothing for my frustration at paying almost $200 for my instructions to be ignored completely. The owner seemed sincere in his apology, and I would give this place ONE MORE CHANCE, based pretty much only on convenience of location. If they failed again, though, there is no way for a third try.
