I’ve tried many boarding, training and daycare businesses in the nearly 20 years I have lived in the Sacramento area. Nothing even comes close to Animinal Manners in my opinion. Cage free, in home, with someone on site... yes, please. Add the interaction and training from Kris, one of the areas best... you simply can’t get better. I am happy to say I am no longer searching for canine utopia, as I’ve found it. My four legged side-kick agrees.

I have tried to set up an appointment since Oct.18 to bring my puppy for a session and still have not heard back. I have called, e-mailed and text message Kris and have not heard back. I heard really great things about animal manners and that's the reason I wanted to get my puppy trained by Kris but getting an appointment is impossible. My puppy is in need of training and I can no longer wait for Kris. I just think this is very unprofessional especially when you see them post pictures on Facebook but they can't even reply to your e-mails or text messages.Don't waist your time trying to set an appointment.I found another great place in Davis to take my puppy and within minutes they responded to my e-mails and we had our first session today and we loved it. I do not recommend Animal Manners!
