Haywood and his staff are very helpful. They are always working to make their business better. I trust Haywood to give good advise about responsible pet ownership
So glad we found this amazing place, hands down the best!!

So glad we found this amazing place, hands down the best!! We had our 2 pups start the daycare program earlier in the summer - they had not been socialized and due to their size (50+lbs) just walking them was a constant headache. After a few weeks of working with Ronnie and Kranti, they are new dogs -- and above all -- we are better owners now that we can better communicate with them. We know all the staff and they are such amazing and fun people who really care about your pet and show it. Would give them 20 stars if I could!

My 154lb rescue definitely needed additional training in socialization and obedience. I didn't think there were too many trained Profesionals willing to take on Benny but I was wrong. He is a completely different dog and I am utterly amazing and grateful for his progress. I am very protective of who interacts with my dog, but I knew this was the right choice as soon as my dog was smiling ear to ear whenever we visited. Don't second guess it. This is a community of trained, caring professionals. This is where you want to bring your dog for training.
We really loved working with Marshall, Courtney, Sarah, and Jason. Gave us a lot of confidence. They know their stuff and you can tell they love dogs and understand the behavior.
