I worked with Cortney from Focused Dog Training about a year ago. I had just adopted my 4 year old…read moredog. She was/is wonderful! I say was and is because even after our sessions ended last year, she's still available for questions! Every now and then my dog will do something new and I don't know how to handle it. I just text Cortney and she's always quick with advice and ideas. During our training, Cortney came to my house and provided everything I needed like a mat, collars, leashes, etc. She walked me through training techniques and practiced with me at each session. I always left our sessions with homework to practice and continually reinforce the training. She took us (my dog and me) on walks and taught me how to use a leash correctly and appropriate commands and behaviors. The best testament to Cortney's skill is how EXCITED my dog is to see her. Whenever Cortney's around my dog is on her best behavior and can't wait to hang out with Cortney! Highly recommend Focused Dog Training!

I have been taking my puppy (almost 1) to Prairie Pawz to daycare for months and we have boarded…read morehim here once as well. The staff is incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and attentive. For daycare, my puppy and I are welcomed with a big smile and a big hello to us both. When he is picked up, the staff tells us who he played with and how he did. They even are helping us train him to get comfortable in a kennel. During his boarding stay the staff went above and beyond to say the least. They gave him extra love when he would get nervous- they even put him in a thunder jacket to calm his worries. Amazing. We are so thankful. They took Christmas photos of him after a complementary bath which were adorable! They communicated so well (and fast) so that we were at ease being far away. I recommend Prairie Pawz to everyone and will continue to do so! Thanks Prairie Pawz for taking such good care of my baby!

Lucky Dog is a second home for our dog Ellie. She was a rescue that is not very trusting of other…read morepeople and some dogs. From day one they have made her feel safe there. She actually starts squealing with excitement about 3 miles from Lucky Dog. We love the extra services you can get like "the Works" bath, ear cleaning and nails trimmed. We went through a period of family members having health issues. It was a blessing knowing we could call and take Ellie for boarding at a moments notice. During one unexpected stay we had to be away longer than we had anticipated the Lucky Dog staff had no issue getting her extra food to tide her over until we returned. When we inherited a second dog Max, we knew he would love Lucky Dog too. Daycare is sometimes more activity than he prefers but he is happy to board with them. For his first time boarding Greg made sure he put Max in a kennel with his sister to help him cope with this new experience. When the dogs come home they are happy and ready for a nap! The staff are all top notch and we truly feel like they are extended family. We couldn't be happier with Lucky Dog daycare and boarding!

When I moved to Madison, I knew I had to find a doggy daycare for my standard poodle, Beau, to get…read moresome energy out while I was at work. Lucky dogs has been amazing. The staff are friendly and knowledgable. When I explained my dog was a bit shy, they explained they would slowly introduce him to some of the calmer dogs before letting him out to play with all the dogs. One of my favorite features is that they close for "lunch" for a couple of hours. During this time each dog is offered their own food (if you brought some) and water in a private kennel. I like this because it gives the dogs a break from all the social interaction. They have a handy electronic check in and reservation system. Plus, you even get a deal if you buy so many days of daycare at one time. They also offer their bathing facilities for free if you'd like to bathe your dog there, or you can pay for services like bathing and nail trimming while you're gone. Lastly, they offer boarding services only to their customers who go to doggy daycare. Their boarding services include plenty of interactive playtime out of the kennel.

Fantastic experience. We have a highly, highly energetic 2 year old Wheaton Terrier (Tilly!)…read more During our consultation, Greg took the time to understand our specific goals we had for Tilly's training. He walked thru the training technique and schedule, being sure to answer any questions or concerns we had. We scheduled three, full day trainings - spread over 3 weeks so that we would have practice time in between each lesson. We would drop Tilly off in the AM, pick her up in the afternoon. When we arrived back at the facility, my husband and I had an hour with the trainer and Tilly to walk through what they went over in the day. We also got a "Report Card" after each lesson that highlighted how it went. Super helpful. Brenna trained Tilly on the 1st and 3rd day and Jada trained Tilly on the 2nd day. Each were fantastic and couldn't have been more helpful and knowledgeable. They walked through the training collar process, commands and walking habits. They helped Tilly go from pulling on her harness to complete loose leash walking, how to get into her "Place", how to heal, and how to stay focused while around other distractions (dogs, cars, people, etc). Facilities were clean, well managed. Highly recommend Sit Means Sit, Brenna, Jada and Greg!

They have a good selection of leashes, chews and cleaning products. The selection of dog food is excellent. They seem to only carry higher quality dog food (no gravy train here!). The location is extremely clean. There are no stains or pet smells. It is also well stocked. The prices are higher than your chain pet shop, but like I said- everything is of good quality. All the staff look like they like their jobs and are super helpful. They also carry their own brand of dog food which is very high quality. You can even get discounts (or a free bag) on their brand! We can buy 10 bags and get an 11th free.

They use positive reinforcement only, which is what I was looking for when I looked around. They have lots of locations around Madison and plenty of times.

They also have extra opportunities for socialization. We love them!

SCAM ALERT: Do NOT Use Wags N Wheels (Mike & Jenny) - A Nightmare Trip Resulted in Dog Death…read more I am writing this as an urgent warning. The service provided by Wags N Wheels was a complete scam, and the negligence of Mike and Jenny led directly to the death of a dog in their care. My dog was removed in an emergency intervention due to unsafe, inhumane, and horrific conditions. THE SERVICE SOLD VS. THE SERVICE RECEIVED Mike and Jenny sold me a premium, stress-free transport, for my larger dog, promising: - SAFE, full care for my dog, including water and food - Only 2-3 dogs in the vehicle, and plenty of space for my dog - Nightly stays in hotels for rest. - "Great communication" and full care. - Expeditious delivery EVERY SINGLE PROMISE WAS A LIE. Overcrowding and Route: Instead of 2-3 dogs, they were transporting 8 dogs in a minivan, including a large Bernese Mountain Dog who later died. They did not stay in hotels. They drove an absurd, circuitous route with minimal breaks, including sitting in an outlet mall parking lot in Phoenix for hours in 80 F heat. The 8 owners had to sit idly by and beg for their dogs safety while watching them on the tracking app. Appalling Communication: After receiving my deposit, I had to initiate every communication. They were unreliable, went radio silent for long periods, and provided excuses instead of an itinerary or more information on our dogs well well-being. THE EMERGENCY AND ANIMAL NEGLECT On day three, a 2-year-old, healthy dog tragically died in their care. The drivers offered the completely absurd excuse that he "just stopped breathing." My dog was then traveling in a confined vehicle that "smelled of death" with a decomposing dog's body. This was an immediate health and safety hazard. Due to the death and continued lies, the owners of the 8 dogs in the van organized an emergency removal. I helped retrieve my dog in Oregon. The owner who intercepted the van reported that the dogs were VERY thirsty, gulping water despite the driver's lie about recent watering. Upon arrival home, my dog was: - Severely Dehydrated: Constantly gulping water and struggling to pass stool. - Extremely Stressed: Showing signs of intense stress, including rapid shedding. - Hungry: Her food bag had barely been touched (she eats 2.5 cups at each meal, so the food should have been nearly gone). Wags N Wheels is operating a bait-and-switch scam, creating an unsafe and inhumane transport environment. They must be stopped. They promised a full refund for all owners, and no such refund has been issued. Do NOT entrust your family member to Wags N Wheels. They cannot provide a safe, humane, or honest service.

No one could get a hold of them to find out if their dogs were even okay. They lied about the number of dogs that would be in the vehicle, they said 3-4 dogs, and it ended up being 8.

I started out to drive towards them to get my dog and 2 others that were being transported close to my location before they killed them too. All dogs showed signs of dehydration. These people need to be stopped from transporting loved family members before they kill more. after the fact I was shown a video on instagram about a French bulldog being transported that had died while in their care.
