Elevate Dog Center

We have been bringing our dogs here periodically for nearly a year now. Being new in town, it's always difficult to find a good fit for grooming and boarding needs but we are very happy with the service that Elevate has provided us. First of all, I don't know who is grooming our German shepherd/border collie mix, who is about the hairiest dog on the planet, but they do an awesome job. We've been having the furminator treatment done on him and afterwards he looks gorgeous, smells great, and doesn't shed nearly so much for a good long while. The folks who run the place are very kind and seem to love our dog and take good care of him, and that's what it's all about. Thank you, Elevate!

I have only been able to take advantage of their grooming services, so this review covers primarily reception and of course, grooming. The groomer is fabulous. My dog isn't the easiest to groom. He's 70 pounds of fluffy doodle love, but thats alot of dog, and he's had the same cut that his groomer of his first 12 years of life designed for him. He comes back to me happy and looking awesome, the center is flexible as to hours of drop off and pickup and there is rarely any kind of wait waiting to work with them or for the dog and their prices are reasonable and at par with competition. I've noticed a real focus on making the owners feel good about the experience, they have been very dog-focussed until the last couple of months and its an awesome experience now. I recommend them with no reservations.

I love how well they take care of my little man. I used to use different boarding facilities and he would never want to walk into the places again, but here he loves all staff and doesn't hesitate to go with staff. Not to mention he has indoor and outdoor access 24/7! This kid is living better than me! Staff has always been so helpful I'm so amazed by their customer service and will be forever using this facility for my little guy. It's like a second home for him.

I rarely write Google reviews unless the company goes above and beyond a standard, or provides such a unique service, that it's worthy of honorable mention to a consumer. Tamison and her team at Elevate Dog Training Center provided exceptional training during a several month boarding period of our German Shepherd, Milo. Prior to this training, we had severe anxiety and behavior issues with Milo, despite our best efforts of doing extensive research and trying multiple training methods over the first 8 months of his puppy phase. The situation became untenable at home, and our veterinarian highly recommended Elevate. We have recently received Milo back home after boarding, and I can say without a doubt, Elevate provided a foundation for working with our dog which would have been impossible to accomplish on our own. Their facility should be considered for the following: 1.) Staff/ Experience. Elevate has an experienced team of educated and certified trainers, who specialize with working breed dogs. Within the first few minutes of meeting our dog, Tamison and her team were able to accurately predict how Milo would behave, his main issues, and how long he would need for rehabilitation at the facility. During scheduled in-person visits with Milo during training, their methods were so precise, they were able to discuss ahead of time exactly how Milo would behave upon seeing us, and demonstrated accurate corrections to that behavior-- even letting us try those methods in real time. Most importantly, outside of being experienced trainers and leaders for our dog, it was evident that every single member of the staff was a dog-lover, seamlessly transitioning from their role as trainer, to giving plenty of love to our pup. We received weekly updates, to include progress reports and photos of Milo. 2.). Facilities/ schedule/ resources. Boarding prices were fair for the surrounding area, particularly comparing the size of the kennel Milo received (which included a doggy door to his own private dog run) and with how climate-controlled the facility was maintained. This was a big factor for us training Milo in the heat of the summer months. The staff was very organized with feeding and medication schedule delivery for Milo, never once having an issue. Moreover, the training facility and schedule allowed for multiple one-on-one sessions with our dog per day, to also include field trips, and interactions with other dogs (when appropriate), and free-play time. Milo received dedicated attention every single day he was boarded. 3.) Preparation/ responsiveness/ involvement with owner: Elevate enacted a training plan that simply worked-- it achieved the end result of providing a solid foundation from which to work with Milo. It worked not only because their facility has learned and implemented their methods with repetitions on numerous dogs over the years, but because they understood the work isn't over when your pup comes home. If the owner's aren't willing to do the work, the training is incomplete, and temporary at best. We were invited to several sessions with Milo prior to his release, and were also given a packet of information (homework) on how to continue the training once Milo came home. What most impressed us was the continuity of care. When we had an unsolvable issue arise during those first trying 48 hours, Tamison spoke to my wife on the phone for over 45 minutes while I was unavailable at work, helping ease her mind and provide valuable insight on Milo's behavior during the transition back home. Bottom line: Elevate came highly recommended by our veterinarian, and did not disappoint. Through a combination of boarding with highly experienced trainers, and the correct tools and methods (taught to us by Elevate) with which to co-exist with Milo back home, he is showing extreme promise, and often acts like "a gentleman", which seemed impossible several months prior. Thank you Elevate. Strongest and highest recommendation to anyone in a similar position.
