    Jovi has been going there for over a year. He loves going, comes home tired. The staff are…read morefriendly and Jovi loves them all. Would recommend this place.

    TLDR: Strongly advise anyone against boarding their animals with SDK. Very understaffed and lacking…read morein communication caused a likely avoidable bite. Longer story: I had planned to board my pup who is dog-selective with SDK's dynamic dog boarding program for a 10-trip in late April. He went and did his trail day on March 25th. I did not receive his first day report card until I reached out to them and asked them about it on April 13th. Per their report he was high energy and friendly and loved getting pets and attention. Which was very accurate to the behavior that I was used to seeing. I dropped him off for his long boarding on April 19th and was told to check IG for photos. I reached out to them on April 25th because I had not seen my dog in any of the postings and had received no updates on his care. They responded and let me know that he was doing well and had been on walks and that they do their best to get photos of every dog posted and sent me a couple photos of my pup. At pick up after the boarding my boy was clearly over stimulated, so I spoke with his vet about increasing medication for his kennel anxiety and was given a second medication and instructions on how to increase the dosing if needed. Over the Memorial Day long weekend, my dog was again boarded with the dynamic dog boarding. At drop off I gave the check in folks his 2 medications and let them know that there were instructions on how to increase his dosing if needed. On Tuesday afternoon I received a call from Jen the owner who informed me that there had been an incident and my dog had bit a member of staff and that staff had needed medical attention. She also informed me that there had been three incidents of his biting at staff prior that I had not been made aware of. I was given the excuse of them being understaffed and just focusing on the dogs' care. The following day I reached out via email to ask if all of the incidents had occurred over the Memorial Day weekend or over his longer boarding as well. And asked for more details around what happened prior to the bites occurring. By Friday I had gotten no response, so I sent a follow up email. Jen the owner responded and said that she had gotten some information from James the operations manager but still had some questions and asked to call over the weekend. I let her know I would not be available for a phone call over the weekend and asked for her to email me the information. Over the weekend I spoke with the PD who informed me that after speaking with the staff member involved it was listed as a provoked bite. Incredibly frustrating that it was easier and faster to get more details out of the police than the facility that was charged with caring for my animal. This behavior is so far from his norm, I have deep concerns with what occurred with his stay that led him to be in the place where he felt the need to defend himself in that way.

    I was excited to start training here after moving to the area. I signed up for a higher level class…read moresince my pup already had multiple intermediate and advanced classes under her belt at our old facility. But they didn't communicate with me until after I had paid 190 dollars that it was required that I pay another 65 dollars for an online zoom meeting with my dog. I couldn't justify paying 2 dollars a minute for a zoom call for my dog on top of the original fee! I understand an in person consult requiring some cost but 65 dollars for 30 minutes all online was not worth it. Unfortunately I had to request a refund and am looking for other trainers in the area that might be a better fit.

    Megan has worked with our dogs for 10 years, but you only need to meet her once to realize that she…read more"gets" dogs of all kinds and their owners as well. We just added a wonderful but reactive guy to our household. When regular class proved too much for him, Megan came to our home and gave us great support, techniques, strategies and equipment insights to help make life more pleasant for him and us. And speaking of classes, we went through the family dog class, taught by Maria, with our daughter's rescue Rottweiler. It was fun, clear, and made a world of difference for a dog that is now praised as a "perfect" resident of a Denver apartment building! Both Megan and Maria are highly professional, staying current on the best evidence-based training techniques and upgrading their own knowledge. They are also both committed to positive reinforcement training that improves the bond between owner and dog. They offer a full range of classes and individual instruction. They are super!
