FirstBarkGreat staff! Their main focus is the dogs, so sometimes the administrative stuff falls to the bottom of the list. My pooch loves the staff when we board her there. The kennels are a little rough, but the outdoor space is nice.

My daughter, who was seven at the time, had a wonderful week at camp. It was so great for her to be able to bring our own dog and I feel like we got a happy camper and a better-trained dog for just the price of camp. I understand that they also supply dogs if someone doesn't have one to bring, which is awesome. We live in another state now, and I have not found anything like it. We are planning on returning to the camp some summer when we visit Texas.
My daughter has attended summer camps at H&P four yeas in a row. Children and dogs love it! Camps are great for kids who love the family dog, but the dog loves mom (or dad) best. They get a chance to bond and practice communication (canine and human!).

Wouldn't recommended Hearts & Paws since TWICE the trainer failed to show up for scheduled private lessons. Instead, Taurus Academy on McNeil came to my house and provided excellent guidance in one easy, convenient session! Successfully following the tips for walking a 'energetic' pup. Despite my negative experience H&P emailed me asking for a review which means they don't even bother to keep good info about their clients.
