A Life-Changing Transformation at Seven Lakes Kennels with Neil!…read more Our 15-month-old rescue Great Bernese mix had been through three homes before coming to us. Over 100 lbs and still growing, he was completely out of control -- no leash manners, no recall, no boundaries. Walks were stressful, and we constantly worried he might escape and run loose in the neighborhood, risking injury or worse. After just one month in Neil's board and train program, he came home transformed. Calm, obedient, and happy -- yet still full of the gentle, loving spirit that made us fall for him. We can now take him on walks with confidence and trust him off-leash in safe spaces. The peace of mind this has given our family is priceless. Neil's training approach is extraordinary. He doesn't just teach dogs -- he builds trust, strengthens bonds, and empowers owners. It's clear he truly loves every dog he works with and invests deeply in their well-being. His team is equally amazing -- warm, professional, and passionate. If your dog has behavioral challenges or you want a well-mannered companion, I wholeheartedly recommend Seven Lakes Kennels. Neil gave our dog the structure and guidance to thrive and gave us a new chapter filled with joy and confidence. We are beyond grateful for this incredible journey.

We have a few animals and love them all dearly. We used this facility to board our dogs for several…read moredays while we were away. I was very thankful that they were able to squeeze us in last minute; however, upon arrival they were yelling in the back kennels for the dogs to 'shut up'. I do get it , barking dogs are annoying and honestly wrote it off; that it was the end of the day and it was likely getting the best of who ever was back there. I did not share this information with my husband as I truly wrote it off, we all have tough days, even in jobs that we love. Upon our return, my husband picked up our dogs mid day and came home telling me the same story. He said , "that place.... They give a great bath- the dogs smell amazing, but they were screaming at the dogs to 'shut up' while I waited for them to bring the dogs back." I wrote it off initially but the fact that they believe it to be okay while people are around, makes me wonder how they treat them when no one is looking. The only other complaint is that my dogs seemed to be much smaller when we picked them up after 6 days. It was either so stressful they wouldn't eat or they weren't encouraging them to eat. If they weren't eating , I'd have appreciated a call so that I could have someone bring by some treats or wet food to encourage consumption. Id say, if you're in a pinch this place might be okay; however, I don't see us using this facility again.

After speaking with her briefly, it was evident that she was very knowledgeable based on the questions she asked about the behavior and temperament of our Dog. After discussing some of his behaviors, she offered many training suggestions for him that she would be able to provide during boarding for an additional fee. We never really considered the aspect of training our Dog professionally however, after hearing her explain as to how she could help, we agreed to board him for a few additional days to work on heel, stay and his overall anxiety. After his time spent with her, we immediately felt as if he was a different Dog. She met us on the last day of training and walked us through in detail, everything that she discussed so that we could continue his work at home. She even offered additional lessons at no charge for further maintenance! We would highly recommend Ariel at Midgard K9 Solutions to anyone looking for a boarding solution or any scale of training for their dog. Her prices were reasonable, and we felt as if the level of service received was nothing short of exemplary!

She goes beyond and above to make sure your dog and all family members are fully trained. Ariel is patient, professional, and loves her job, not to mention loving our fur baby like her own. She took our relentless, crazy puppy and made her into the best dog around that has stopped all counter surfing and can stay and heel like a champ. Ariel will work with you to make sure all bad behaviors are addressed and will teach you how to keep up the training on your own. We plan on continuing using Ariel for more advanced training and boarding. Our dog loves her to death too, which is a huge plus. I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone else!

We have two incredibly traumatized rescue dogs; one who came from a Korean dog meat farm and another who came from a bad hoarding situation, and they are sensitive to say the least. Our dogs are everything to us so it is always nerve-racking taking them to the vet. The first time we went to Pinehurst Animal Hospital, they went above and beyond to help me get my two babies into the room and looked at comfortably. Dr. Means and the nurse who was helping, were so sweet with them and they both sat on the ground with our dogs while they got their shots, etc. Our dogs require a lot of patience and they truly went above and beyond to help them. We have been seeing Dr. Means and her team for a few months now, and she is always incredibly patient, kind and thorough with our dogs. The front staff is also amazing and immensely understanding when we have to reschedule or even if I call about an issue or question we have regarding our dogs. They always call us right back with answers and always make us feel like they really care. We highly recommend this business & hope they will be around for a long, long time!

I also hoped to schedule a bath and nail trim for our Shar-Pei, Baxter. Suzette answered the call and politely informed me that they only offer daycare and boarding for existing clients who are residents and are not accepting any new customers out of town or offering grooming services at this time. While I appreciated the quick response, it was disappointing to learn this--especially since their website still lists these services as available, with no mention of the current restrictions. It would be helpful if the website were updated to reflect this, so potential customers aren't misled while trying to make plans. Hopefully, they'll consider clarifying this online to save others the inconvenience.
