I've been working with Greg for a couple of months now and all I can say is wow. My dog, Enzo,…read morestarted with Greg when he was about 3 months old and he has come so far. His leash skills are fantastic thanks to Greg and he is mastering basic commands. The price of the training was rather expensive but it's paid up front and I can say with all confidence that it is worth every penny. Greg isn't so much a dog trainer as he is a people trainer. He is teaching you the best way to interact and train your dog. It's a very hands-on experience that ensures your dog is learning from you and not just Greg. I recommend him to all my friends looking for a trainer and am looking forward to continuing to work with him.

My dog is a 15 1/2-year-old Papillon, he is blind, and has diminished hearing and is a picky eater…read more He gets up sometimes two to three times per night because he often sleeps frequently during the day, that said, my wife and I had to go out of the country for a week and I just could not leave him with a neighbor or just have someone drop in on him infrequently. So, I decided to take him to Happy K9 Academy. I really respect how this business operates, first they asked if I could bring him in for a few hours to see how he would make out, no other boarding facility has ever done that for my dog! I also like that this facility has 24-hour staffing and a security system. The doors remain locked until you call or text them and then a staff member will greet you at the front door to take in or bring out your dog. When I dropped off my dog, I stepped inside to take a quick look and I was impressed. It did not smell and was clean and well maintained. During the time my dog stayed at the facility they texted and called me with concerns about how much food he eats daily and about how often he goes to the bathroom. Other places I had boarded him in the past would never reach out if they had a concern! I dropped off my dog with Andrew and he has a great disposition in handling dogs, he was sincere to our needs and caring about my dog like it was his own! Ashlyn & Brook are also excellent to work with, both very sincere and professional! I will definitely take my dog back to Happy K9 Academy in the future when I plan my next trip. If I could give them 10 stars I would! I highly recommend that you check out this facility if you need your dog(s) boarded. On a side note, when I went to pick up my dog he was clean like the day I dropped him off, they also cleaned his bowls and storage containers that we left his food in.

Rascal…read more Had been going to Dogs Way Inn for many years when recently we needed to kennel our dog for a family trip. Unfortunately, we had one of the worst experiences any pet owner can imagine. Our dog was staying for nine nights from 7/12-7/20 and the condition I found our dog was quite frankly disgusting. I knew something was wrong when the first thing the receptionist said was, Oh, I'm supposed to tell you that your dog has had diarrhea since he got here and we've been giving him something to try and help. Hello, did anyone call my wife or I to inform us of this? Or ask about giving him something without our knowledge? NOPE. Did anyone call me or my wife later in the week to tell us he is still having issues? NOPE. Upon seeing him and taking him out to the truck, his entire rear was covered in feces! Did anyone clean him up to present to me? NOPE. What kind of kennel hires employees who don't take the time to fully check the dog over that they are bringing out? Do they just not care? When I walked him out to the truck he was so lethargic, he could hardly get up into the truck. I immediately drove to our local Vet who recommended some meds to stop the diarrhea and suggested I try and get a stool sample. Unfortunately, he was so lethargic and I subsequently discovered completely dehydrated that it wasn't possible. Upon getting home and a much closer look at his condition, I noticed something red around the side lips of his mouth. He was bleeding on both sides of his mouth from complete dehydration. We tried to give home some water, but he wasn't interested. When the gave him a thorough cleaning. Unfortunately, his fur is stained with the constant feces that was on it. Later in that morning my wife received a call from the receptionist who said we would be getting a phone call Amy later in the day and now offered a free bath? It's now Wednesday and Amy finally called my wife and asked about our dog and if there was anything they could do? Where was the care and concern when we left him in your custody? Really, over 48 hours after we've picked him up and literally round the clock care by us we finally get a call? Wednesday morning was the first day he has had a some what normal stool which we could take to the Vet for testing. His mouth is healing but he has some hanging skin on the side that may need further attention. He is slowly getting his strength and energy back and having an appetite. But should any pet owner have to go thru this? Absolutely not!

If I could I would give zero stars. These people ARE NOT dog trainers. They charge you a high…read morenominal fee to put an "e collar'", NO a hock collar on your dog. Let me explain my experience. I grew up in a family that raised dogs. Bird dogs specifically. From the earliest years of my life my father raised chocolate labs, black labs, golden retrievers and yellow labs. Some were family dogs, some hunting dogs. I was put at the task of basic commands training by my father. This entailed house breaking them. Sit. Stay. Down. 3 basiccom ands. People would pay a deposit for a puppy. Once the litter was born depending on male, female, also color and breed specific my father would set a price and we would get the basic commands. If they were to be pheasant hunting or duck hunting dogs their stay with us would be longer. I KNOW QHAT IT TAKES TO TRAIN A DOG. IN 1985 E COLLARS HAD NOT COME OUT AND WERE FROWNED UPON BY TRAINERS AND OWNERS. WE NEVER USED THEM. REPUTUTION, AND REWARDS WITH PRAISE HAVE ALWAYS WORKED. TRIEDAND TRUE. I've had pitbulls, German shepherd, cane Corso, labs, Bassett hounds. But in 2020 my 3rd German shepherd passed away.Not Ling after me and my families Bassett hound passed. My children were devastated. My wife and I were heart broken. In January 12, 2021 my wife of 17 years and I were hit on our harley davidson motorcycle going to dinner. She passed away on the scene. I was airlifted to grand strand. I lost my right arm. Had a TBI. Broken legs and hips. Multiple injuries inside and out. I had a 4% chance of survival. Fast forward 6 months I arrive to my families home in Conway. My 9 year old and 5 year old are devastated. They lost everything, even their beloved shepherd. My dad suggested I get another puppy. We found one. Pure bred with papers. My father and I. Me very limited in a wheelchair started with crate training. Then he had a sudden heart attack and passed. 2 months passed. Ava, my German shepherd puppy needed more training than my disability and injuries would allow me to do from a wheelchair with one arm. I decided to call around. I called several listed on the internet. But the woman from Rocky Road K9-SC set an appointment and came to do an estimate I guess. She was adamant about the dog going to the vet, no problem. Just wanted to work with one vet. One trainer. We set up for where to take her to get a physical and shots. Kaitlyn said that she would be by the following Friday to begin training. Unfortunately due to my TBI I forgot to mention that Kaitlyn sold us on her 2 week program in house. In her contract it stated $2590 due up front. I explained I wanted her to be a service dog but basic commands were essential and I was physically limited. Now kind of strange to me. I read in the contract e collars could be used for problem dogs. But this was a puppy. A sweet smart confident puppy. I thought the price was high. But a service dog is an investment. Plus the way she explained herself and passion for animals I trusted her. WRONG. She took my puppy on a hor day, shoved her in a hunting dog crate inthe back of her puck up truck. I paid $+200 cash down. No receipt. No signed contract on her end. But again. I had a brain injury. I was grieving. My wife and father. She had promised pics and she did post some. I messaged to check on Ava and was told everything is going well. We even worked with her walking around wheelchair. 2 weeks up. She brought her home. Not 5 miss in the house she peed on the floor. Kaitlyn explained the training collar. I wasn't keen on it. But I specifically asked if they did leash work. She spent more time telling me she was a cop. Her husband was a cop. They have cwp , they know all horry county police. Blah blah. Then left. I worked with Ava every day for 2 qeeks. The e collar didn't do anything. She jumped on kids. Bit me 2x. Takes food off the counter. Pee and poop in crate. I called Kaitlyn. Very annoyed she agreed to take ava for a weekend refresher. Ava came back worse. I sent her $399 through cashapp as a thank you. Again I worked with Ava. 3 weeks. I finally messaged Kaitlyn and told her. She'sjumping. Foung to the bathroom in crate. Stealing food off counter. Nipping. She gave me a guaranteethat they would stick withme throughthis training. Guaranteed. She refusedto answer calls. Told me I wasn't followingup with training at home. Bullcrap. I have plentyofexperience just not physicallyable. Now I have a dog. I've spent over $2900 just in training that will not obey without a shock collar on. She's more worriedabout bringing pitbulls that need rehabbed in than payingcustomers. I have no recourse as she posts everyday about how great dogs are doing and how much work she puts in. Liar, liar. I'm in the process of filing a lawsuit. I have an interviewwith a news channel that will air out her rip off business. If you value your dog, don't bring it to rocky Road k9 SC. They will be physicallyabused with electric shock. .
