What people have asked about this business.

How much for 4 dogs ? Two would need to be kept away from other two.

Hi John, thank you for reaching out and we apologize for the delayed response. We have a few requirements that the dogs must meet prior to their boarding. Why don't you shoot us a message to see if they meet all requirements? Since you have four doggies, we can offer you a discounted rate. Hopefully we can help you for your next boarding need. Looking forward to talking to you. Thanks!

Our Cooper is a 2 years old golden with a huge amount of energy. We felt a bit uneasy the first time leaving him because we know how bad Cooper is with listening.  After meeting Ali we knew we had nothing to worry about because Ali not only provides day care but he is also a trainer. Cooper has now been receiving private training lessons with Ali and as doggy parents we are also learning how to correct and communicate with Cooper.  We are very happy we found Ali and YAY Professional Dog Care and Training. Ali is so patient and communicative and Cooper loves him. We highly recommend Ali to anyone that is looking for daycare or training services.

I am so excited to have found someone to train my Golden, Cooper. I was a little behind in getting the training started, but Ali has brought Cooper up to speed. Ali trains with positive reinforcement & kindness. He is great at communicating what he wants the end result to be with my pup. I can tell my Cooper loves & respects Ali. I know I have to do my part as well, so I guess I’m getting my own training too 😊

We are so fortunate to have found Ali of YAY. He is an excellent trainer and our dog, Louis, loves him. It became evident we needed help when walking Louis became an unpleasant experience of pulling and jumping. Ali came to our rescue and Louis is learning self control and good manners. Ali uses service dog training techniques which we were looking for in a trainer. I think Ali is the next “Dog Whisperer,” and we recommend him highly with no reservation!

Highly recommend this service ! Ali saved me from a divorce or having to give away my Great Pyrenees! These dogs are known to be stubborn and HUGE in size ; so you imagine the struggle prior to training. We felt like Ali included the entire family during process. this experience was not only training “Louie “ but all of us as well . Louie is now obedient, is pleasant to be around and we do not fear going out in public with him . Thank you Ali

Prior to meeting Ali I had a “trainer” for 10 months in Wisconsin and realized once Ali met with my two dogs that he is the real deal! Even after just a few lessons and our first walk I am so motivated to put the work in to get my dogs behavior to where it needs to be to improve our household quality of life. My younger pup has some serious energy and he would always turn the opposite way when calling him and I can see progress already. Do not give up on your pets! Take them to Ali! He is so patient, kind and really puts forth incredible amount of knowledge understanding the canine psyche. We as humans need training for our dogs too! Looking forward to the work we have ahead. Thanks so much!
