What a fun little place this is. Located RIGHT in downtown Boise this store has tons to offer…read more January 3rd was my little Alfred's 4th birthday! (Criesssss! They grow up so fast! Yelp! Let us use emojis!! Haha) Finding ANY place in Boise that sells birthday cakes for dogs...next to impossible. Took Alfie here on his Birthday bc they actually had some cakes and cupcakes for dogs. They're made by someone outside the store and who have a partnership with Mollys. The cakes were like $30!! And they're small! But too big for Alfred lol. Cupcakes were like $8 and perfect size for my little man. I got him one of those and he absolutely loved it. My apologies to the food truck who makes and sells these for not remembering their name. I've bought from them before at Green Acres when we had a Pound Fitness event for the humane society and they came out. They sell great products, all naturally made. Sorry. This is a review for Mollys haha. I'm just glad Mollys had something to choose from for his birthday. The store is beautiful laid out. I really love the inside. Obviously in a very old building. It's just so random to see a pet store in the middle of a downtown area...but wonderfully random. Will you pay a little more? Sure. It's downtown. It's not a big box store like Petsmart or Petco. It's privately owned and there's nothing better than supporting small businesses like this one. We walked in and place was packed. Tons of people and they all had their dogs with them. Pure heaven for me. Alfred is very shy and was a little overwhelmed lol. I was able to find everything here EXCEPT small bully sticks. They're his favorite and it seems like a lot of stores are no longer carrying them. Very sad. Northwest Pets stopped carrying them too. HOWEVER! I don't think Mollys stopped, they were just out. Hope that's the case. The man working was sooo nice and you can tell immediately he loves his job. Seriously tho...seeing beautiful doggies all day! How could anyone hate that job! They have a super clean area for you to bathe your pups too. I was very impressed with how clean it was. Another area that has all kinds of meat products for them to gnaw on...like actual cow meat/bones. I know I'm using the wrong terminology for it, but can't think of the right words haha. Alfie is too small for those but how convenient to have. My roommates dog would benefit greatly from that room. Plenty of toys, food, treats etc to choose from. Seriously, this store is an absolute gem. I'm so glad I finally discovered it. It's fun to bring my lil man downtown and now we have a place that's made just for him and his friends. Definitely check this place out. Go and support local businesses! Supporting local is great but when it comes to supporting a local PET STORE!! Hell yeah! Thanks for reading, YelperDoggos! Cheers!

I needed someone to watch my Irish Setter, Scout, and our cocker/blue heeler puppy, Boomer, while…read morewe were out of town for a few days. Before we entrusted The Dog House with our dogs, we first came and checked the place out. They have 4 main indoor dog areas. One for large breed dogs, one for medium, one for puppies, and one for senior dogs (they may also have an area for small breeds? I know they take dogs of all sizes). They have separate stall kennels for night time as well as crates if your dog is a jumper (ie: would jump over the stall wall). They also have a grassy outdoor area for the dogs to run around outside (with real grass, not fake turf that can be found other places). The indoor areas are mostly cement floor and cinder block walls with a wooden gate for going in and out. The senior dog area is the exception. Catering to older dogs who would rather be comfortable and sleep, more than play, they have dog beds and soft, comfy couches for them to lounge on. They arranged for us to bring the dogs for a half a day, so they could test them in the sleeping areas (decide if the stall or crate would be better), and see which area would be best for them during daytime social hours. They don't charge for this and I love that they place dogs individually, based on personality and temperament, not merely size. For example, Scout (our Irish Setter), is large. She is by all accounts a large breed dog. However, her temperament is super mild and she does't really have an alpha bone in her body (I've seen her go belly up submissive for small poodles). They opted to put her in with the medium dogs, which was awesome as it kept her with Boomer, who is her very best friend, and allowed her to play with dogs who are a little more her style when it comes to romping. The dogs play as much as they're up for all day indoors and every hour or so outside. Their prices are reasonable (given the level of care) and the dogs are always supervised during play. At night, they only have to go 6 or so hours before someone is there to let them out in the morning (mine go longer at home!). We decided to have them stay. They cared for them for 4 nights and we couldn't be happier. Our dogs came home happy, healthy, and exhausted from all the play. I will definitely use them any other time we are needing overnight care. I also will likely partake in their daytime daycare on occasions when I know, due to our schedules, that our dogs won't get much exercise/play time. Get to it!

Dog Abuse / Neglect at North Star Kennels:…read more Micah has had our Belgian Malinois for a few overnight stays over the past few years. He knows our dog and usually speaks very highly of her. Our dog is a trained protection dog with very high drive. Upon dropping her off this past trip, my husband explained to Micah that "yes, she barks in the truck everywhere, she's just very excited" Micah decided to take issue with her barking in the kennel truck he uses to transport dogs. He put an electric shock collar (e-collar) on our dog without our consent or knowledge. She is NOT trained to use an e-collar and therefore had very adverse reactions to it. Without being trained to the shock, she did not know what to do with it. Upon arriving at the facility, our dog was covered in her own diarrhea. Micah did not inform us that he thought our dog was sick or reach out to ask if she had been sick before. When we picked her up 3 nights later she was also covered in her own diarrhea again. We found he had used the e-collar on her for transport back to us. He explained she had an "upset stomach" all weekend. We bathed her and she was perfectly fine for us the rest of the day and following days. We noticed she had an open sore on her neck. It was red and inflamed and had discharge coming out of it. We texted Micah a picture and asked if he had any idea how this happened. After further examination by us and our vet we found she had two matching marks on either side of her neck. The vet told us it was from e-collar misuse. The collar was on for too long, and too tight. This causes what is essentially a burn where the prongs meet the skin. The upset stomach is due to extreme anxiety and stress caused by the entire ordeal. We sent this report to Micah who said his vet disagreed. (Without seeing our dog, examining her, or providing information on who the vet is). Micah told us it was from our own misuse of a prong collar she had not worn since she had been home. She has had a prong collar for training and working since she was a puppy, never having any issues with it. Micah presents himself as knowledgeable in the dog training sector. He is absolutely not. No knowledgeable trainer would put an e-collar on a dog for over an hour without the dog being trained to it. Especially not without our permission. To insinuate that the injury was caused by us is incredibly insulting, he stated he could "teach us how to properly use a prong collar". Further conversations with Micah on the phone were aggressive and unprofessional. The vet exam and antibiotics were refunded by Micah, the 3 day dog stay was not. DO NOT TRUST North Star Kennels with your animals.

I spoke to Pete on the phone and decided to come out and meet him and see his facility. Pete's facility is the most professional set up I have seen. Kennels were clean and the knowledge that Pete has made me feel at ease leaving my girl behind with him. He truly loves what he does and cares for the dogs he takes in. Pete was honest with me in the fact that my dog lacked drive to be a motivated gun dog so I made the decision to bring her home after 1 month. In the 1 month she stayed to train at Goosebusters she was no longer gun shy and also would pick up live birds which I can continue to work with her on. Most importantly, my dog was happy, healthy and in good spirits when I came to see her. I would leave any of my dogs with Pete which says a lot, I am completely obsessed with my dogs and 100% trust Pete with providing them proper care. I am more educated on how to choose the best potential gun dog and will continue to work with him in the future for training any dogs I have. I can't say enough good things about Goosebusters.

Honest, clean kennels and excellent in what he does. He explains what we need to do to with her in a way that made sense. Pete has Lola where she needs to be and gave us the confidence we can achieve the same results with consistency and the knowledge he has provided. We will use him for all training and all boarding. I have never boarded my dogs anywhere and we have complete confidence in Pete and Jolie. If you are looking for a trainer or a place to kennel, I can not say enough great words about them. (I'm not a big reviewer, but after our experience it was a must.) After a call, I'm sure you will feel the way we did. Thank you guys so much.
