We looked at a lot of places to board our dog for vacations and this was the best place for us. Great staff and great price. Our dog has historically not done well with not being home in the past but she always leaves here like she was on a fun doggy vacation. Highly recommend.

I used these services some time ago and have debated leaving a review for a while. I dont like to bash on small business but i do feel cheated out of a good amount of money. We brought our dog to them for basic training. The trainer was new and in training herself which she let slip after a few weeks in. Besides getting very little updates , when we had our mid-way review our puppy was worse than usual. Only obeying basics commands after a few tries and yelling. By the time the 4 weeks had come to pass she was as hard headed as ever and refused commands. They kept her an additional week and actually tried to get us to pay for that extra time. When we took her home she didnt listen at all. Tore up furniture, was rough with our other dog and used the bathroom in the house. They then ignored any further communication after we tried talking about this situation. Some people may have had a good experience but we didn't.

Wow, we are so grateful to SIK and trainer Amy! Our new rescue puppy Tabor excelled in his month long obedience training and had so much fun. They were very flexible and accommodated our last minute scheduling needs. We now understand our dog’s needs better and he knows what we want from him. The difference is night and day. We appreciated the regular updates with photos from Amy and knew he was being well taken care of. Everything at the kennel was spotless and he came home to us freshly bathed. We can’t wait to board him here in the future and cannot express how appreciative we are for this board and train option.

Absolutely love this place for both training and boarding. Brooklyn in particular was a HUGE help with our reactive shepherd. We opted for the month-long training and I only wish we did it sooner. We feel so lucky to have a fun and engaging place to board our boy while we're out of town. For an anxious dog to arrive and always show signs of being happy to be there, that's a big deal. I can't recommend enough.

I have boarded my two dogs here twice now, and am really happy with their standard of care. Their facility is clean and they seem pretty organized. I have never boarded either of my dogs in a kennel atmosphere except for their board and trains (in a different town), and was nervous to leave them for just general boarding. My dog Charlie is pretty shy and nervous, and both my dogs are pretty active and require lots of exercise. Every staff member I have interacted with has been very kind and helpful, answered all my questions, and treated my dogs really well. They are patient and intentional. I was surprised at how happy Charlie was to leave with them the first time, and the second time he was stoked to return. They even noticed how much more comfortable he was for his next visit after warming up the first time. Both times they came home happy and with no stress. My other dog loves everyone and everything so she adapted immediately. They are willing to accommodate my dogs raw diet during their stay, and because my dogs are off leash trained they get to have fun running around in their field under supervision. I will definitely be continuing to board with them in the future when t
