I used their self-service dog wash for my Mastiff/German Shepherd mix as he is a bit more anxious and it was SO easy to use. The shampoo mixture is right in a nozzle, just spray it right on! There were stairs to walk him up to the waist-high tub. The dryer has a low and high setting and is right next to the tub and there are two tethers for you to use to keep your dog in place. I'll be back over and over.

Talk about unprofessional! I had heard mixed reviews before dropping in & now got to experience it firsthand. Definitely not a business that deserves my business if they feel so open about trashing their customers! Maybe next time you want to put your customers down you should look around & make sure you don't scare any away! They don't deserve my hard earned money or probably yours either! Shame on you Jenny, and you are also setting a bad example for your employees! Your customers deserve your loyalty & not for you to talk badly about them in the environment they entrust you in to take care of their fur babies!

I had a recommendation to use Tina through next door. I interviewed her and she seems great with…read morepets. She is $35 per half hour visit, and $200 per day for overnights. She has a surcharge of $20 per visit for holidays and the days around the holidays (sometimes the weeks), which I found a bit high and since I usually go on vacation around holidays (I'm a teacher), I would have to avoid a fair amount of possible vacation dates to be able to afford her fees. Also, she lives too far from us, so our only option for vacations would be to pay the $200 fee for overnights and I was not clear if she'd be with the dogs during the day because she said she's usually gone around 11 am into the the later evening. Tina knows everyone in the pet community and we had a rewarding time trading information about vets, chiropractors for dogs, etc. I feel like she'd be a great fit for us if her fees were lower, or if she lived closer to us.

We hired Tina to care for our border collie over a long weekend. Tina was highly recommended by…read morethe Oswego Animal Hospital. Throughout the initial interview process, it was clear to us that Tina is a professional, clearly loves what she does, and has tremendous training/experience. Tina was able to quickly bond with our dog and alleviated any concerns we had from the get-go. She is thorough and organized, took notes for the future, and helped us to feel that our dog would be in great hands. The notes that she left for us during her visits were very detailed and showed great care and compassion for our dog. She played outside with him even in the cold weather, sat with him while he ate, and left a nice toy for him too. We feel that she went above and beyond what we would have expected and will hire her again without hesitation.

We just picked up our one year old GSD after completing the three week board and train. We were so…read moreincredibly impressed with the care and training she received. Eric is amazing, and so incredibly knowledgable. We feel so fortunate to have had our dog working with him. He spent so much time training her on everything from obedience to reactivity. He was easy to get in contact with and we loved receiving the daily video updates. Upon her completion of the program, Eric spent time training us so we could continue where he left off. We are not only grateful for Eric, but the entire staff at MBG. They truly care about each and every one of the dogs in their care. Everyone is so friendly and we appreciate all the support they've given us over the past year.

She came highly recommended from several families in the area that used her services.

When Rocky arrived home we thoroughly reviewed all he learned and I learned how to keep up with the obedience training. I received a packet with all of the commands and clear and concise instructions. I loved the fact that my puppy was trained in her home with other dogs, horses and lots of acres to play. He was certainly well taken care and came home better behaved!

This Puppy is everything I hoped it would be. very aggressive. That being said, I knew I would need to do some exceptional training with her to cap some of this aggression. Keep in mind this is a working dog. This pup arrived to me at 8 weeks of age. She is a wild one, she runs around like crazy and chews on everything. She is always jumping up on people and as she gets bigger that will become a very bad problem. I have been to numerous trainers and they could never seem to explain what they were doing or why they were doing the stuff the way they did it. Needless to say it was very disappointing. My pup is now 7 months old and for the last 2 months I have turned the training over to Ashley. The difference has been like night and day. My pup loves working with Ashley and is so well behaved now. Ashley always explains what she is doing with the pup and why she is doing that way. Ashley has taught me so much about how to work with my puppy. Things like containing the puppy to certain places in the house and making others off limits. How to get my puppy to engage with me and focus on me and ignore everything else. When my puppy comes back from training with Ashley I always get a set of instructions that I must follow to keep her going in the right direction. I can honestly say Ashley is worth every penny. I have never had the pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable trainer in the past and I wish I had.

I needed to have his attention, we ran thru what I needed to do. I walked him past the same lunging barking crazy dog and he was angel! Thanks Blackjack K9 for teaching us the right way.

We paid a small deposit for a chocolate lab, and were told the day to come pick him up (we had to wait about 3 weeks until he was old enough to leave mama). We emailed a few times for updates/pics, and we got immediate responses. They were very accommodating! We were in the area a couple of weeks before we were supposed to pick him up so we asked the breeder if we could meet the puppies just for fun. She was very accommodating! When we went to pick up our puppy, she had all the AKC paperwork in order and was wonderful and professional. The entire buying experience was very smooth! Judy is very nice and very professional. I just came back from the vet, and our vet said that all the vaccinations and her plan of treatment for our dog was perfect. On top of that, the puppy's nails had already been trimmed, and he had his dew claws removed when he was just a couple of days old. In terms of the puppy, we are amazed at how smart and intuitive he is! Apparently he is a classic chocolate lab. He loves to listen and perform, and he has picked up on potty training and retrieving items within days. He is now 9 weeks old, and he will ring the bell on the door to go out! This is a very smart, healthy, well bred puppy. I highly recommend this breeder!
