We sent our dog Apollo to a week of board & train with Ty, Kyle, and Laura while we were away on our honeymoon. We were initially trepidatious because we had never done anything like this for our dog. Now, walking Apollo is like walking with a brand new dog! They did such a great job working with him on his bad walking habits. They also worked with him on his separation anxiety--I was so impressed! The best part was seeing how happy Apollo was to see Ty and Kyle during our recap lesson; it really lets you know that your dog not only learned, but that the staff at Bow Wow treats the dogs beautifully. I am definitely going to continue his training with Bow Wow! he loved it and we love the results!

We had a great experience with Ty, Laura and team. Norman, our 140 lb Great Bernese, was too large to have anything other than impeccable leash manners. After a two-week board and train, he's been a completely new dog on-leash. He's also happier overall and we appreciated the consistent excellent communication while we were away. Would recommend!

I took my dog, Snoopy, to Bow Wow for training. It was an experience for both of us. He stayed for two weeks and was trained not to pull on the leash and bark excessively. I know that two weeks is not the ideal amount of time to fully train a dog, but Snoopy made significant progress. He does need a bit more training, but overall, I am very pleased with the training Bow Wow and their team provided for Snoopy.

My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with Bow Wow Behavioral from short overnight stays with Lee, to the 21days board and train with Ty and Laura. They've done an exceptional job with our Sammy. The staff is not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring, ensuring our dog's well-being and progress every step of the way. Sammy can be very stubborn and all the staff have been very patient and understanding of Sammy's behavior- knowing how to make adjustments with training- something other facilities/trainers lack. Sammy is much more at ease, obedient, and going on walks beautifully (he is also in better shape)! Their philosophy is one that every facility/trainer should uphold. Highly recommend! *Thank you Bow Wow Behavioral!

Ty and Laura were incredible with our poodle pointer puppy, Clementine. After a week of training she now walks on a leash like a dream and has stopped jumping up to greet. I found Bow Wow to be responsive, reasonable, and I’d recommend them without hesitation.
