Five stars all the way!…read more We were babysitting our daughter's rescue dog, Ellie, while daughter and s-i-l went on vacation. They had recently moved to the Chicago area. We wanted Ellie to become comfortable at Bark University so the kids would have a safe, reliable place to leave her occasionally with their busy schedules. This place is filled with people who genuinely care about dogs--from Candy, the owner, to Dahlia and the rest of the wonderful team. Ellie was understandably scared at first. She had been a street dog and had difficult experiences in her past. The staff took their time introducing her to different dogs, carefully figuring out which personalities she was most comfortable with. I was so impressed by the amount of love, patience, care, and attention they gave her. Ellie did incredibly well. What surprised us even more was the difference we began noticing outside of daycare. Even though she was only going once a week for a few hours, she became noticeably calmer when seeing other dogs on our walks. Normally, she would bark at them, but she has been doing so much better. The prices are also extremely reasonable--$30 for a half day and $40 for a full day. I especially love that on longer days they feed the dogs and have the dogs take a one-hour nap/rest break from 12-1. Bark University is truly a gem of a place.

My daughter has a dog that is bordering on crazy and she often brought him there overnight (before…read morethey relocated to a different state). My daughter had made arrangements and I picked up her dog from there a couple of times. They appear to be a great organization and are very good with animals. My daughter definitely had confidence in leaving her dog there overnight, especially during trips. I can't provide any info on the cost, however. Note: her dog was ferrel for a very long time so he can be a bit difficult to handle at times. That was not a problem with her dog at that location. They treated my daughter and dog very well.

I have had dogs for many years and have tried trainers coming to the house and training at a pet store with varying degrees of success. Kamp K9 is by far the BEST!

Beware: do not board your dog here!…read more Kamp K-9 is known for kennel cough (I found this out too late from my neighbors and friends). I boarded my dog here for a long weekend, and unfortunately, he contracted a terrible case of kennel cough. That was bad enough, but the owner's (David Jenner's) response was the real issue--shockingly rude and dismissive. On top of that, the place has a terrible smell and just doesn't seem hygienic at all. I wouldn't risk coming back again.

I was going on a weekend trip for the first time since I brought Benji home. He's five months and…read morehas boundless energy, so I was nervous about how he'd do away from his home! Long story short, Benji did GREAT and all thanks to HPM! Firstly, as a commuting worker, the chauffeur service was amazing. They gave me a window for pick up and drop off a week in advance and were perfectly on time. You can tell that they really love their dogs upon their greeting and departure. Second, Benji loved having a huge yard to run and play in. I got a picture the first day (attached) and a video the next of him playing! It really put my nerves at ease. The price was totally reasonable and the options for grooming or swim lessons were awesome additions. I will absolutely be using Gabby and Happy Pup Manor in the future!

I learned of the Reactive Rover doggy school which was a drop off, 8 course program. We dropped Pepper off for half a day approximately two times a week. Prior to beginning the course, we did an in-depth interview with Stephanie to go over our concerns and Peppers needs. We were given a packet of exercises and after each class were instructed on what to work on at home. We also had two in home lessons once drop off classes were complete. This training made a huge difference for us as a family. It helped us all gain confidence, helped us manage expectations, gave us patience and some great tools which we still use to this day. Pepper has come a long way from where she started and we're so glad we did the reactive rover school at Two Paws Up. Definitely worth the money for us! We also took both of our dogs to a nose work class lead by Stephanie following reactive rover school. The set up really catered to reactive dogs as each dog was crated and only taken out for their turn. It was a fun class and both our dogs really enjoyed it. Two Paws Up facility is really nice, it's large and clean. They offer a variety of classes and times. Its been a while since we've been back but hoping to enroll again soon.

The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.

I normally work from home, but I do have to travel a few times a month for work. When I do have to travel, I don't want the dogs to be stuck in the house all day without being let out to relieve themselves or get some fresh air, so I have someone from Candy's (often Candy herself) come to my house a couple of times during the day for nice pet visits. Candy often sends me pictures of the dogs while she is there via text messaging, and I know for a fact that she actually gets on the floor with them to give them love and attention because I can tell from the angle on the pictures. I'm extremely picky about the care of my pets, probably to the point of obsession, but I really trust Candy's team to take great care of my "kids" when I can't.
