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.

When arrived they wanted to use ropes to lift him with due to so badly soiled. So we supplied our own blanket and carried him to car. He was in obvious pain, soiled, bleeding from mouth. He was immediately taken to animal hospital and advised had to be put down for fractured back and kidney issues. When asked for an explanation Randa immediately sent a refund saying upon my request, which was just for explanation. When followed up was told I can't sue because I signed a waiver, that it was my fault for boarding an older dog and not boarded before. I never made any accusations or asked for anything but an explanation. I'm so devastated I left my pet/family member in their care.

He's a barker and lacks basic manners. We also have a baby and want to ensure safety between the baby and dog. Max went to board and train with Monica and came back a completely different dog! He has stopped barking, is well mannered, and stays on his bed on command (for hours, which allows us to host!). Some of our good friend's kids are scared of dogs, and we recently hosted them successfully- the kids were so proud! Monica is incredibly professional, friendly, and a true dog whisperer! She shuttles Max back and forth, which makes it so incredibly easy, and she also sent cute videos and pictures to keep us looped on his progress! We highly recommend Monica!

Monica came to pick him up for a two-week training stay, and when he came back, he was still the same sweet pup--just a little bigger and so much better behaved. Monica gave us such a strong foundation, and it's made life with Walter joyful (and a lot easier!). On top of training Walter, she gave us thoughtful, practical guidance on how to keep reinforcing those good habits and work with him confidently at home. Not only is he the best-mannered dog on the block, but we also have a trusted place to keep working on new skills and fun tricks. Thank you, Monica, for your care, kindness, and for setting both us and Walter up for success. We can't recommend you highly enough! Worth every cent.

Our dog, Remi, has enjoyed their daycare, boarding, grooming, and most recently, a training class. The team has been absolutely fantastic to work with, and it's clear that each member genuinely loves what they do. In a time when customer service often feels lacking, especially post-COVID, their dedication is truly refreshing. Their prices are very reasonable, and I always feel confident knowing that Remi is in excellent hands. On a side note, my husband and I visited unexpectedly on the first day, and they kindly gave us a tour right away, which really eased our minds about their care for the pups. Overall, I'm extremely impressed with everything they offer! We even got a cute little holiday paw print gift which was such a nice surprise!

Jeff is soooooooooooooooo great!!! I can't recommend him…read moreenough, for so many reasons... Im in London, UK, & I booked Jeff for a Consultation / Training Session via SKYPE.... We connected quickly & easily, & the video quality was so good it was just like he was sitting here on my sofa!!! He really listened to my issues, asked a lot of questions, & then gave me the solutions I needed... He watched me trying out his instructions & if I needed help to get it right he would demonstrate for me with the help of his own dog - who is also the most perfectly behaved doggy I have ever seen!! I've had 'normal' sessions with local trainers & I can honestly say that the quality of service was not lessened by using skype, in fact when a normal session ends the trainer leaves, where as Jeff let me go way over time & didn't even look at his watch once!!! Jeff made me feel like he was genuinely interested in helping us, & even now still enquires about the progress we're making... Recently we acquired a new issue - barking at every neighbour going up or down the stairs - so i hope Jeff has a slot in his diary free for us!!! Finally, Jeff offers very reasonable rates!!!

I was shopping in Vernon Hills, one day, when I saw a van advertising in-home dog training. Given…read morethat we had recently acquired a new puppy, I was intrigued. I looked up Jeff's website (www.trainmydog.com) and was very impressed by what I saw, so I sent him a note explaining our situation and asking for his pricing information. He immediately arranged a phone call with me, so we could discuss my needs in more detail. With our first conversation I was impressed by how he listened while I explained different situations that pertained to our pup - then asked pertinent questions to help him understand the situation better. We talked for approx 30 minutes about what he could and could not do for us. (Our dog is a 'herder' by nature. I was hoping to break him of this habit but Jeff was very upfront in letting me know that this habit could not be broken and anyone who said they could break it was lying to us. I found it refreshing that he was honest and told me up front. He also told me that while it can't be broken, there are countermeasures that we can take to help control the situation.) I thought his prices were VERY reasonable (especially given that he was going to come to our house!) and LOVED that he has a "no-contract obligation" meaning he could come out once and we would never have to bring him back, if we didn't like what he did in the first session. After discussing everything with him, Jeff estimated that he would need no more than 3-4, 1-hour sessions with us (but again, we were not committed to anything past the first session.) We agreed! On the day of our first session, Jeff showed up on time and began immediately getting to know our dog. We talked through some things, to start, and then the training began. Jeff had recommended a prong collar and a non-retractable leash, when we spoke on the phone - so I had gone out and bought those things in advanced. However, he also came prepared with items would could have bought from him, had we not already purchased them (which was great!) I was nervous about using the prong collar (thought it looked more like a torture collar) so Jeff took time to explain how it works - why it's not inhumane - and also showed us how to size it and put it on properly so we weren't hurting our dog. Have to admit that the difference is like NIGHT and DAY when our dog is using that collar!! I'm a BIG believer, now! Jeff worked with our dog for approx 1.5 hours. He gave us tips and "homework" on things that we would need to continue working on, after he left. It has been only 6 days since Jeff was at our house and we're already seeing several changes in the behavior of our dog! We are THRILLED with the work we did with Jeff and would highly recommend his services!

The smell upon entering was not wet dog but more like sewage, very unpleasant, as I moved towards the wash stations the smell faded The wash station was dirty, hair still in the tub from the previous user Very watery shampoo (no labels to know what you're actually using) I suppose they dilute it so it lathers more quickly, but if I returned I'd bring my own. Water pressure is great, but water temperature never really got warm. The towels are quite raggedy & not absorbent. The blow dry was miserable between all the fur on the unswept floor blowing around, & not having a place to put my pet while drying. $24/per hour is increased from the $20 I was told by another customer but again I tried to call to inquire on pricing & products and got no answer.
