At the same time, you want to shout from the rooftops how INCREDIBLE it is! We couldn't fathom the idea of our dog staying locked up in a kennel all day, and like a previous reviewer we were lucky enough to find Joe through a recommendation of another boarding facility. He is truly a dog lover and it shows. He spends time with the dogs like they're family - exactly what any dog owner would hope for when they're away. His place is beautiful, peaceful and honestly a dog heaven. It's the total opposite of a traditional kennel where the dogs look like they're so bored they're going crazy. We drive about an hour away to take our pup here and would not even think about going anywhere else.

My family and I are new to Washington and were looking for a great place to board our Labrador mix…read morefor 5 nights around Christmas, and Canine Social Club was recommended to us by a different boarding facility that was full. We are so glad we took their recommendation because Joe, the owner of the facility, was absolutely phenomenal. It is situated on a large property and our dog was able to run and play every day (weather permitting), and at night she was in a warm and cozy kennel with other dogs. Joe also texted us letting us know he took our pup on a one-on-one walk down by the river so she could warm up to him! He sent us several pictures of our dog while we were away and we were so relieved that she was being taking care of by a caring individual who simply loves dogs. The hours are great and Joe charges per over-night, so we were able to pick up our pup at 7:30 at night as soon as we flew in without having to pay an extra fee. We are so glad that we now have a go-to place for boarding when we have to be away.

I have a 1 year old 75lb Labrador retriever who is nervous around medium-large dogs. For months, we…read morebrought her to dog parks only to come home feeling dejected because Luna would bark at, and boycott certain dogs (even 5 month old puppies). We wanted to nip this medium/large dog "trauma" out of Luna's system, so she can feel safe and enjoy the company of other dogs. When we came to julya with this issue, (in the midst of a last minute trip) julya was assuring and patient. She had given Luna a slow introduction to the rest of the pack and allowed Luna to process the surrounding changes at her pace. After 3 nights with Julya, Luna came home and slept for a whole day. She was happy and tired as could be (which is always a great sign). However, the more amazing thing is the changes in her at the dog park. I could see her hesitation at first but by the second time we brought her to the dog park, she was playing with labradors, pitbulls, Great Danes and chihuahuas alike. If you're having the same issue with your dog, or if your dog has gone through an incident like mine, meeting the right people & pack does wonders.

To start, I have no idea if these people can train retrievers or not (I grew up with retrievers and…read morehave some knowledge on how to train them). That's not why I'm posting a 1-star review for them. I'm posting a 1-star review of Autumn Retrievers because of my single experience that involved them. Here it is. I saw their truck and trailers pulled over next to a pet walk area at the Ship Ashore RV Resort in Smith River, California. They were, in my opinion, somewhat disdainful of the retrievers as they let them out in groups of five or six to, ostensibly, relieve themselves. The animals in the pens contained within the trailers seemed miserable, and cried out when they saw me. I noted the company name, being a lifelong pet lover and owner, and went about my business, skirting around the dogs on my way to completing the first leg of my daily walk. I noted that they were still there on the second, returning leg of that same walk, and that they had released more retrievers into the pet walk area. The pet walk area is clearly marked for pet owners to clean up after their animals. You can't miss the sign; it's big and colorful. Today, on my walk, I march right into the pet walk area, and within seconds my tennis shoes are covered in dog crap. That's right: these jerks had released the retrievers and hadn't bothered cleaning up after them! It wasn't even a public "facility"; the pet walk area is owned by a private company! I did as best as I could negotiating myself around the crap; when I got to the other side I turned around and looked. The entire area, probably a fifty thousand feet square, was literally covered in crap. Autumn Retrievers had let their dogs foul an entire pet walk area that wasn't theirs to begin with, and had simply ... driven off. Now. If these people have such disdain for others' private property, what do you think they're going to do with your beloved retriever? Something to think about before you call them up.

It was hot and the dogs were crammed in the truck. when it was discovered that there were dogs were in the back, the truck was pulled into a covered area in the service drive. the dogs were given water by the dealership but the dog in the front kennel wouldn't drink it. it was a puppy and it seemed so timid and scared. it was heartbreaking. the other dogs couldn't be let out to give water to. I don't know when the owners came back to get them, but these people need to be reported and brought up on charges. they don't care about their dogs only the money.

Sophie is all that and more. So, to leave her someplace was so scary... WORRY NOT! MYONLY BOARDING KENNEL is now my ONLY boarding place for Sophie! WHAT I LOVE... Sophie seemed to relax the moment she met the people there. I felt okay (and that is saying A LOT) leaving her there. She was happy (not nervous, not scared, not bolting) when we came to pick her up. She had not lost weight or hair while we were gone. She was perfectly happy, how cool is that? Did I mention they bathed and groomed Sophie (a German Sheppard)? "She hasn't ever looked as good as when they groomed her!" Those are my husband's words, and I couldn't agree more! My Only Fear...they are going to get so popular we will have to plan farther in advance! Love this kennel!

Rather than focusing on training the dog himself, he teaches YOU how best to work with your dog to get the results you are seeking! And i really feel that he gets to know your dog and how it communicates and behaves and works based on that, instead of having a one size fits all approach. I really can't say enough how much i appreciate and believe in how he works , and i am SO thankful. Peppy was a very anxious rescue when i got him, and with some super simple exercises and trust built through Eric's methods, im now giving him haircuts and working up to nail trims, his recall was non existent before and now he comes right away most of the time, and he even was able to do a couple flights with me with minimal issues.
