When I thought all hope was lost I found JPK9 Montana. No other dog trainers would take My Icka…read morebecause he was reactive. He had been attacked by a few dogs and having him around other dogs was almost impossible. He was scared of other dogs and people and was labeled and an aggressive dog. I messaged JPK9 thinking I would be turned away. Within minutes I had a reply of Yes, we work with dogs like him, no problem at all. I signed Icka up for the two week boarding training. Drop off was smooth. There was detailed communication on what was needed supply wise as well as what I needed to work on to prepare myself and Icka for a smooth transition. Every day there were videos posted so I could watch his progress, and progress there was. He was heeling, sitting, laying down and staying. HE WAS WALKING WITH OTHER DOGS CALMLY WITH HIS TAIL HELD HIGH. Daily walkes and so much time put into him. He went into stores and was asked around other people and dogs. When it was time for me to pick him up from training I got a class myself on what to to and how to continue his progress, how to work as a team and be the dog handler he needed me to be. Right after pick up we jumped into a group class and practiced everything we have learned. They saved Icka from living his life locked away from everything. They gave him his confidence back and showed me how to continue his growth as a secure dog. I would 100% recommend JPK9 Montana for anyone's dog. They truly care and dedicated their time and knowledge into the training. We look forward to attending life time classes with the help and support from this amazing group of people. I can't thank them enough!

**Extremely Disappointed and Concerned About Safety Practices**…read more I had taken my 9-month-old Rottweiler to The Dog Club for several months, trusting that he was in a safe and professionally managed environment. Unfortunately, I later learned that the owner had knowingly allowed a highly reactive--borderline aggressive--Sheltie to interact with the general dog population for over two years. I first became aware of this dog's unstable behavior during a Saturday class led by one of the trainers, and I had hoped the situation was being responsibly managed. It was not. Eventually, I received a call notifying me that my pup had been involved in an "altercation." What actually happened was far more serious. The aggressive Sheltie had lunged at another dog, rebounded into my Rottie, and when my dog tried to set a boundary, the Sheltie escalated. My dog was left traumatized and had visible scabs on his neck after the encounter. As is often the case, the larger dog was unfairly blamed. The fact that this Sheltie had a long history of reactivity--and was still being allowed to roam freely among other dogs--is completely unacceptable. Using the general dog population as a "buffer" for this Sheltie's behavior was reckless and dangerous. Most reputable daycares would never allow this dog to remain in group settings, let alone for two years. To make matters worse, when I met with the owner to express my concerns, she took absolutely no accountability. Her proposed "solution" was to isolate my Rottie behind a gated area where he could watch other dogs play, while staff would spend one hour a day with him--an arrangement she admitted was also being used for the Sheltie. In other words, my well-adjusted, social dog was being punished for defending himself against an unstable dog who should never have been in group play in the first place. The Dog Club failed my dog, and I would strongly caution other dog owners--especially those with large breeds--to think twice before trusting this facility with their pets' well-being. The owner herself even stated that her staff cannot handle my Rottie as he is "too Strong". That should probably be put in her advertisement then!

I have taken my dogs here for a few years, both for boarding and daycare. The staff has always been…read morenice, and I fully trusted them to care for my dogs. Recently I took them in, and when the webcams came on, I saw that one of my my dogs had an extra collar on. I called to make sure it wasn't a shock collar, and was assured multiple times that the collar was not capable if shocking, it only beeps or vibrates. I was also told the collar would only be on her for short periods of time. I was watching the cam extra, to make sure my dog was not reacting badly to the collar, and saw the video attached. My dog (white/red on right hand side) was just standing there, no bark or anything, and obviously the collar either shocked or vibrated. My dog goes spinning out of view, and is still losing it a bit when she comes back in view. The employee takes the collar off and puts it back on a few seconds later. I called immediately and this time the owner answered. I let her know I was on my way to get my dogs and told her to have the collar taken off immediately. She asked what kind of collar my dog had on, and I told her it looks like a shock collar and asked if they use them. AGAIN I was told, this time by the owner, they don't use shock collars, they only vibrate. When I got there to pick up my dogs, she stated that what I saw online was just the first time the collar had vibrated (this was at 1:00, and she had been wearing it since at least 10 am when the cameras turn on) and that's why she had a strong reaction. When I asked to see one of the collars, they finally admitted the collars do have the capability to shock, they just "don't use that function" the lead trainer came down and tried to explain that they had taken the collar off multiple times, but had to put it back on again. Unfortunately, I know this not to be true. The only time they took that collar off was to adjust it. He admitted the collar was put on shortly after they got there, which was somewhere around 8 am. Whether the collar shocked my dog, or just vibrated, I know that the owner, lead trainer, and the lady that is usually at the front desk, all lied to me, and they used an e-collar without letting me know, didn't remove it when my dog had a strong reaction to it, and they used it in a manner that is outside their own policy, as the owner herself told me they should only be on for short periods. This situation would have been easily solved with a little honesty during my first call. Unfortunately, my dogs won't be returning, and I would never again reccomend this business for anyone who needs trustworthy care for their dogs.

I don't know if they were hot or overwhelmed in general. I saw this lady fling a small dog around like it was on a fair ride. That's where I got pissed.

My Mother uses them regularly, and has done so for a year or more. She has a young Golden Retriever who is full of energy. The dog is always EXCITED to go and always "tuckered out" when we pick him up in the evening because of playing with the other dogs. They have birthday parties (I'm jealous) and the dogs are socialized well. The owner has other services as well such as the application of Frontline. Dogs are restricted at Glacier National Park (see the Park's website for info). I would recommend contacting Luck Dog to see how the owner of LDDC might be able to help you out - no guarantees but who knows? Finally, I live in Houston so you may wonder how I know so much about LDDC. My experience has been when my Mother had medical issues and the owner worked to accommodate my schedule and went ABOVE AND BEYOND what I could have asked.
