K9 to 5 Dog Services

I cannot recommend Jacqui and staff at K9 to 5 enough! I got good vibes as soon as she replied to my inquiry about the Board and train program. I sent my 1 year old American Bully named Ellie because she had some behavioral issues that I needed help addressing, like jumping and leash pulling. I selected the 2 week/tier 3 Board and Train program. She helped me make sure Ellie had all the required shots and got Ellie in for the trial day within a few weeks of reaching out to her. The trial day helped ease my nerves as Ellie hasn’t been in a daycare setting before. Ellie did great and her first day of the program was a week after. During Ellie’s time there, Jacqui sent me videos of her progress and how to continue training at home. Ellie is allergic to a lot of ingredients in normal dog treats. Jacqui was very good at ensuring to only use treats I provided in addition to cheese, vegan hot dogs, and veggies. There are cameras there that I was able to access so I could check on Ellie. When Ellie came home she was a completely different dog behaviorally. It was very apparent that the behaviors I brought Ellie in for were worked on. Jacqui spent about an hour with me going over what she learned and how to keep training going at home. It was a great experience for both Ellie and me. I would recommend K9 to 5 to any dog parent!

Jacqui is, hands down, as caring and knowledgeable as anyone that my pup (or I) has ever interacted with. Her dedication to the betterment of your beloved pet is unmatched, but what makes her and K9-5 stand out is the way she considers your specific needs and knowledge through the process. I can’t thank you enough Jacqui for the years of reliance you have provided me in knowing that Fenway’s best interest odd truly in your heart. To try again though: THANK YOU!

Peace of mind! I always go to Google Reviews for a business I’m unsure of and try to sort through which reviews seem genuine. Look no further, I’m a paranoid pet dad who was very nervous about giving my animal to a board service/trainer. The risk was worth the reward. I did a lot of research for my dog before I had a trip and I was very unsettled about leaving him with someone I didn’t know. He’s a rescue from another country and had very inhumane living conditions before I got him (let’s just say he was on a menu somewhere). Plus he’s only 20 lbs and pretty defensive at times. I was worried he would have a bad experience with a dog and get hurt or wouldn't be properly supervised around other animals. K9 to 5 seemed to have good reviews. A few outliers like any company, but if you look at their history Jacqui has gone out of her way to make her company the best that it can be from the motivation of actually caring. I locked in a reservation after having the best feeling about her. Dropping him off for a “meet and greet day” before committing to my reservation was a little nerve wracking. Honestly I had a little of a hard time finding the place so do your research on Google maps before you go (yes, its behind the June Cork Pub, just stay left upon entering and it will take you down to the entrance). Upon entering, I noticed the place was definitely a dog heaven. It has all fancy training equipment and had an enthusiastic staff ready to meet him. Sure, the place definitely had a dog smell to it lol but… it’s a dog place. That’s what they do. Seemed very clean despite this. I left my little dude there for about 8 hours and when I picked him up he was happy as a clam. When the time to go for my actual trip, Jacqui accommodated my weird drop off hours needed and took him personally. I was given information on how to log onto cameras to watch him while I was gone. Then as time passed, I started getting videos of what he was being trained on and he looked so happy! When I finally picked him up, he was happy to see me but almost seemed like he was sad to leave. He was definitely properly socialized and had made a few friends. It was pretty warming. In the end I ended up with a lot of videos (see attached snippet) on what my dog had learned from training which left me at a great place to continue building good habits with him. Jacqui had a lot of great tricks and tips and even provided solid documents to continue this journey with my dog. It’s going to be my go to place if I ever go out of town and want peace of mind. I think you will have the same experience as me if you go with this company. Thanks K9 to 5!
