These guys are family. I have bringing my dog Nora to Wag 'n Woofs since I rescued her almost 5…read moreyears ago. They have been absolutely amazing. I really appreciate that this is a family-owned small business and not a large chain like a number of the other local doggy daycare/boarding facilities. They get to know all of the pups super well. They are really "blossomed" the past year and a half in terms of offering tons of fun theme days where you can get photos of your dog dressed up and participating in activities (bunny ear photos and Easter egg hunt for Easter!) They also post fun updates to social media and have tons of cameras so you can check in on your pup throughout the day if you choose. They have helped me out soooo many times including when I have been running late for the pick-up or reaching out for a late reservation or an add-on service. The ability to be able to have Nora get groomed, nails clipped, and her anal glands expressed all during a regular day at daycare is amazing and so convenient. When we moved just over a year ago, we literally made sure to keep in mind the distance between us and Wag 'n Woofs because bringing her elsewhere was not an option. Thanks so much for all your team does!

It's fun to see all the pups play throughout the day. The camera is also how I know my dog likes some workers more than others and when he is (or is not) having a good time. With any doggy daycare sickness tends to travel around and my dog has fallen sick from daycare before. Something to be aware of. Overall a good daycare for your pet.

Walking filled me with angst everyday, not knowing what I would encounter/deal with. The training sessions were well thought out and impactful, geared specifically to my dog. The directions John gave us absolutely worked! Walking my dog has become delightful again, he is no longer reactive to other dogs as we stroll through the neighborhood and my friends are enjoying coming over and not getting knocked down when they step in my door. :-) I highly recommend Paw & Order - Twin Cities!

We have had a great experience so far and highly recommend John to others who are looking for dog training.

I've been going to this PetSmart location for 22 years, almost as long as it has been open. When I got my Pandemic Puppy - a long haired miniature dachshund - I decided for once I would get a dog formally trained. He's a smarty pants who can open his wire kennel from the *inside, so I knew he'd do well. Libby is my trainer, a very, very experienced trainer who has gorgeous dobermans. She brings them to class (kenneled) and it is fun to see how well-trained they are. Puppy classes are for pups 10-20 weeks and class size is limited to 8 pups to allow social distancing during COVID. The puppy classes allowed the pups to socialize at the beginning of each class - which was hilarious fun due to the wild variety of puppy sizes - and then we learned sit, down, loose leash walking, watch me, come, and wait. These are all excellent commands to teach a puppy. PetSmart also offers a Puppy's First Play Date where your puppy gets to play with others for two hours for free! And then there's Puppy Grooming to get your baby accustomed to baths, dryers, nail trims. I took advantage of ALL of these, especially because you can't send an intact (not spayed/neutered) dog to puppy daycares. This is a chance to socialize early. Sweden is now enrolled in the Beginner class and I'm excited with how well he's doing. I highly recommend these services.

I've already recommended him to several people and would recommend him to you too!

The qualities that most impacted our success are: 1) Listening to my hopes & expectations for fine tuning my dog walks & my dog's interactions with me & our large family 2) Giving us new tools to improve communication & showing us how to use them 3) Guided hands on practice together to gain confidence & practical application of tools 4) Patience & that calm cool voice he has when working with my dog & me 5) Easy to set up training sessions & affordable Dog walks are more calm & enjoyable for both of us. We are all works in progress, but we've made great leap forward doing this training work together. If new problems arise in the future we will definitly reach out to Infinte K9 Academy again.

I've taken my pup to quite a few doggy daycares/boarding and Camp Bow Wow EP is our favorite!…read more First day of daycare is FREE, so why not try it?! They have cameras in every room so you can always see what your pup is up to. They start with a slow introduction with dogs, slowly increasing the number in a room to ensure your dog is okay and not overwhelmed. They have a website for easy online booking or an app as well! I love the app as I waste away my afternoons watching the cameras to see her play! Staff has always been so great and my dog LOVES it here!! When you board, you can specify when and how much your dog eats. You can add on services such as one on one interaction time, snuggle, grooming, nail trim, etc! On your first day, you get a welcome packet and photos of their first day! Minnie and me love it here!

Total transparency: I haven't gotten any of their "dog salon" services... yet…read more A doggy daycare seemed like very extravagant extra spending to me until I got a very hyperactive puppy and our Minnesota winter happened. During the summer, spring, and fall she is a-okay because she's walked every single day - but when the walks are shorten because it's 10° we all know what happens. Cue: doggie daycare consideration. They seemed a little understaffed, but hey that's the new normal with COVID. What I can tell you is they average about three dollars an hour with me to take care of my puppy... the same price I'd pay a neighbor kid to walk them - but I get 8-10 HOURS of puppy free time. ... AND puppy is usually completely spent for 10-15 hours after I get her back. She knows exactly what / where Camp BW is and loses her stuff every time we pull up. So - for me five stars. Will update if I get wonky salon services. But for the most part the staff is courteous enough - the hours are right - and it seems to be priced okay. For now I will keep recommending (and budgeting for) CBW for my sanity in our cold MN winter months.

We had our Great Dane puppy trained by Ali as participants in the six week kindergarten class…read more We were very happy with the lessons given in class, and enjoyed having time to socialize our pup. This was my first puppy class experience but my husband's fourth (all different dogs), and the lessons and practices were very clear and consistent with the positive reinforcement methods my husband has used and seen used over the years. The format was interesting in that different dogs were at different stages due to the open enrollment nature of the class, but ultimately I don't feel that impacted the quality of the course, or added anymore distraction then your typical puppy course. The lessons were still communicated clearly and practiced in class with the expectation that the real training occurs out of the class through daily practice and routine. Overall once again we were very happy with the course and have already talked about if post-kindergarten training is needed, or even at-home 1-on-1 lessons we will be contacting Ali.

This is the biggest joke of training I've ever experienced. First of all they sent Heidi to my…read morehouse. When asked what level of training she had her response was that her friend and boss Heather trained her. But because she talked a good talk I decided to give it a try. After all I was already in for over $100 for her to come and visit. My dog has serious separation anxiety and so Heidi said that she could help. A JOKE. She was playing kennel games with her. My dog has no issues with being in her kennel. But I went along with her suggestions. The last session I had with Heidi had me hiding food/treats around my house. My dog is a resource guarding kind of dog. She doesn't like it when my cat even comes near her dish This caused huge issue between the cat and the dog. Hiding treats around the house had my dog agitated with the cat coming anywhere near where treats had been hidden. Worse came to worse! These women have also been instrumental in taking my dog to a rescue that refuses to return my dog to me. Long story short....STAY AWAY AND STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE! Bad News and a total waste of money at the very least. I'm still fighting to get my ESA returned to me.

She was nervous and so was I. We were greeted right away and were introduced to the groomer who would be doing Ruby's nails, I believe her name was Kelsey. She was very personable and very caring. She was able to calm down our scared little pup and did an amazing job. 10/10. I will be telling everyone about how smooth and relaxing this experience was. We will be back to see Kelsey and hope this place is around for a long time.
