Words literally can not describe how fantastic CoolWag is…read more I moved to NW Arkansas last June and started looking into doggie daycares. CoolWag is beyond anything I could have imagined. The staff delivers exceptional customer service daily! Myself and my dog are greeted with enthusiasm and a huge smile every day! I never feel like my dog is just a number. I know from the bottom of my heart when I walk through those doors they 100% care about each dog and each customer. My dog literally goes crazy when we start pulling into their driveway. He can't wait to get through those front doors and start playing. CoolWag promises you a tired dog when you come back for pick up. On this they deliver 10 fold. My dog falls asleep as soon as he gets in the car. By the time we get home I'm not exaggerating he barely eats before he is sound asleep. It's hard to put into words just how epic CoolWag is. You must try it to truly understand. Let's put it this way. I only need daycare 2 days a week. My dog loves it soooooo much we go 4 times a week‼ Hands down I am recommending.

I want to start by thanking Riley at Camp Bow Wow for helping make a very stressful situation just…read morea little bit easier! We were visiting from TX & our hotel failed to inform us that our pets could not be left unattended (for any amount of time) in our room. This came as a surprise since we weren't told when we called about their pet policy, etc & they informed us they were "pet friendly". Anyway, Riley was a HUGE help & was so kind when I called with a million questions as neither of our dogs had ever attended a day play. Because of Riley, we were able to find a safe space & place for our dogs to stay & play while we enjoyed our weekend without any additional stress. Unfortunately, the weather was awful & normally we would've just been out on hikes & at park but it rained ALL weekend. THANK YOU RILEY FOR EVERYTHING!! The pups are exhausted!

Kass Kennels & Training did exceptional work training our new cavapoo Max. We are fortunate that…read moreCOVID affected our family in a positive manner with the unexpected addition of Max. I grew up with dogs, but my wife and daughter barely knew bones from barks. Max was actually a really good puppy, but our efforts to train him were unsuccessful despite the review of several online resources. So we of course looked online only to have a difficult time figuring out who was going to be a good fit for training Max. A lot of websites had photos of larger dogs like german shepherds. Max had nearly topped out at 16 lbs and looks like a stick with ears when wet. He is shy around other dogs, and we worried about putting him in a school with other larger dogs. Then we found Kass Kennels & Training. Kass had loads of testimonials with lots of different dogs. They also had a video on their Instagram showing dogs learning to "place" and avoid distraction with the aid of chickens (NW Arkansas has lots of chickens - thank you Don Tyson). The pooch in training would reach the stage where they could sit in the middle of a chicken pen and ignore all the clucking, hunting, and pecking going on. Rocky Balboa used chickens while training to beat Apollo Creed, so Kass had to be awesome. We enrolled Max in a 14-day course. He stayed at the training camp, but during his time there, we were updated with emails and videos of his progress, which we could see was transformative. When we finally got Max back, Spencer and staff gave us some training equipment, a K&H cooling cot, and a set of instructions for ongoing training. Max was of course happy to see us and actually excited to show us his new ability to follow commands and walk next to us without a leash. Max will "place" and hold his position until released if we need him to be out of the way in certain situations, like when a delivery man or trick or treaters are at the door. One of my favorite things is that Kass also boards the dogs it has trained. We have used this service, and while he is there, Max receives a training booster because he participates in the training program with the other new dogs. We have referred others to Kass, and they have all thanked us for the great recommendation. Our family is lucky to have found Kass Kennels & Training for our wonderful cavapoo Max, and we recommend it for anyone looking for a school and possible future kennel for their furry family member. #yelpnwa

Huge shout out to Spencer and team at Kass Kennels. We sent our 1 year old Golden Retriever Gracie…read morefor the 2 week board and train. We traded some messages with Spencer during training, and I was hoping for an emphasis on off leash recall, stay, and heel so that we could spend more time on the bike trails around Bentonville. Spencer let us know that he'd like to keep Gracie a few extra days to cement some of the behaviors we'd requested... the program is not a cookie cutter and is tied to dog's progress. So after 17 days Spencer brought Gracie to the house and made sure the handover/transition back to us went perfect. As to the results... we couldn't have asked for any more.... Gracie is focused on the task at hand. It's been about ten days and we have been reinforcing the training every day. Today I was able to walk Gracie off leash around the Bentonville square and down the Razorback Greenway. She was not distracted by bikes, walkers, other dogs, or even the squirrel that ran across the path in front of us. It was unbelievable. Thanks Spencer!

I truly don't know if I can adequately put into words what Zen Dog Training and Lola Carter have…read moredone for my family. Before Zen, Gunner and Roscoe couldn't be together for even a minute without growling, fixating, and fighting. We ended up in the ER THREE times. Gunner is twice Roscoe's size, and I lived in fear that eventually one would be seriously injured. For TWO YEARS, I paid someone else to care for Gunner. I've had him since he was a tiny puppy, but sometimes saw him only once or twice a week. I spent thousands essentially paying "rent" for my own dog because he couldn't safely live with Roscoe. Giving either dog up wasn't an option. Roscoe had already been homeless multiple times before I rescued him, and I made a commitment to him. I loved them both. Another training organization told us they would NEVER live together again. I refused to give up. After being off social media for three years, I reactivated Facebook specifically to find help. Someone recommended Zen with one sentence: "Zen Dog Training was the only place that was able to help my dog." I contacted Lola. From day one, she never sold me a miracle. She made no guarantees and never promised they'd become best friends. But she also didn't believe our situation was hopeless. Her realistic goal was simply to teach them to coexist. Roscoe entered a four-week board-and-train, and unlike programs where you drop off your dog and don't see them until pickup, Zen keeps owners actively involved. We had weekly private lessons involving Gunner, plus regular photos, videos, and updates. Week one was tense, but they safely shared a room for the first time in almost a year. Week two: no growling, attacking, or snarling. Week three: Lola brought Roscoe TO MY HOUSE. Eventually, both dogs were calmly lying on separate beds in my living room, ignoring each other. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Week four: both dogs trained together inside Lowe's with muzzles for safety while Lola taught us to recognize their triggers and body language. Week five, Gunner joined Roscoe at Zen. Two dogs who once couldn't look at each other without fighting were lying across the room from one another, relaxing and SLEEPING. And now BOTH OF MY BOYS ARE HOME. For the first time in two years, Gunner and Roscoe are living under the same roof. For the first time in two years, I don't have to choose which dog I get to love in my own home. Are they best friends? No. That was never the goal. THEY ARE COEXISTING. We still follow strict safety protocols including crates, supervision, muzzles during movement, "place," and gradual progression. Lola didn't pretend aggression magically disappears. She gave us the knowledge and structure to manage it responsibly. They can now lie peacefully in the same room, sleep, enjoy treats and toys, and have their crates in the same room without growling or fixation. Another incredible part of Zen's program: FREE PRIVATE LESSONS FOR THE REST OF THE DOG'S LIFE. Lola even offered virtual sessions between lessons if needed. That level of commitment to long-term success is unheard of. I came to Lola carrying fear, guilt, tears, and two years of being separated from a dog I loved. She never judged me or told me what I wanted to hear to make a sale. She educated us, set realistic expectations, prioritized safety, and supported us. Lola gave me hope without giving me false hope--and then delivered more than I ever allowed myself to hope for. I have six dogs, and they are my children. For two years, I believed loving Gunner and Roscoe meant accepting that I couldn't live with both. Zen Dog Training gave me my family back. I'm forever grateful to Lola, Sarabeth, Jordan, and Zen for their patience, honesty, hard work, and love for my boys. Two dogs who couldn't safely spend ONE MINUTE together are now sleeping peacefully under the same roof. Thank you, Zen Dog Training, for giving me both of my boys home.

I'm writing this with a heavy heart after an extremely distressing experience at Furry Land Mobile…read moreGrooming NWA. My dog Mickey, who is gentle, expressive, and has always received glowing feedback from his previous groomer, Daijea, an experienced professional great with small dogs, suffered immensely after his last grooming here. The whites of Mickey's eyes were bloodshot, and the vet confirmed aggressive ear plucking had caused painful inflammation as well in his ear canal. He was in immense pain, required one urgent care visit and two follow-ups, was on pain medication for a week, and needed additional medication for his ears and eyes for two weeks. After recovering from the trauma and fear of permanent damage to Mickey, I contacted Furry Land to cancel my future appointments as I could no longer trust this establishment with Mickey's care. While Krystyn, one of their staff members, initially showed genuine care and took accountability after sharing Mickey's story, my experience with Diane, the owner, was deeply concerning. When I requested that her insurance contact me directly for documentation, she refused, saying she did not want to involve her insurance. This made her repeated requests for Mickey's medical records, which contain unrelated personal information, feel even more inappropriate and inconsistent with her earlier claim that the documents were "for training and documentation purposes." Refusing to involve insurance and repeatedly requesting private medical records felt unprofessional and concerning. Out of sheer goodwill and concern for other pets, I still contacted Mickey's vet considering it would help with training staff despite wanting minimal to no contact after all the trauma caused. In hindsight, the upfront compensation offered feels more like hush money than accountability that I have refused to accept. I continued the conversation privately because of the past experience I had from Mickey's wonderful experience with Daijea, believing my feedback could help improve their process so no other pet parent would go through this. Unfortunately, I no longer feel that's the case. I'm sharing this to help other pet parents make an informed decision and protect their beloved companions from unnecessary pain. Our pets deserve groomers and owners who lead with compassion, transparency, and responsibility.
