The training here is excellent. The trainers are just super, and my dog has shown so much improvement. And even better she loves going there. It fills me with happiness to see her so excited to go to training. Highly recommend!!

I don't even know where to begin! This has been one of the best experiences with any sort of dog training/board and train/doggy daycare I have ever experienced.

Every single staff member is so knowledgeable and so sweet with the animals. We have a rescue border collie who had leash reactivity to other dogs As well as minimal training. We sent her to the weeklong board and train and have signed up for the 3×3 training classes.

Our border collie came home, a completely different dog for the better after her boarding train, and all the staff members loved her.

I have never felt so comfortable and welcomed in a dog training facility in my life.

Highly recommend. The facility is beautiful and all the staff members are amazing. Can't wait for our training classes in the future.!

My dog just finished a week long boarding and train and she seems great! The staff were very kind and friendly and really helped me feel less nervous about leaving my dog there. They were all professional and I got a couple great updates during the week. Next week we will begin handling lessons and I am looking forward to that. I want to thank Alicia and the whole staff for a wonderful experience and will update when we have completed our lessons!

K9 Activity Club is a great place if you’re looking for somewhere to train/board your dog. This was Pumpkin’s first experience with boarding/training and I was so nervous to leave her, but she learned so much and was well taken care of!
Also 10/10 experience working with the trainer Sophie. She has taught my husband and I so much about how to work with our dog and we have left more confident in our handling and have noticed a huge difference in our dogs behavior!

So this was our first time at K9 activity club... it's a bit of a drive, but think they will do great with my pup! According to his report card, he had a good time. They are very professional, personable and kind. Happy that they ask a lot of questions regarding your dogs disposition... super great. Love that there is a daily "report card". Asked one of the employees I met in the restroom line how long she had been there...don't remember the length of time... wasn't a newbie, but what I remembered was "BEST JOB EVER"... we should all be so lucky!
Fingers crossed for the extended stay!

My baby girl Charmin had her 1st day at doggy daycare today. I was nervous and the staff was so patient and supportive! They took great care and time in her intro process with a small group of dogs, which is exactly what I was hoping for. After her evaluation process she got to join the group. Judging by her smile and excitement (and now utter exhaustion, also what I was hoping for) I’d say she had a fantastic time! Big thanks to K9 for taking such wonderful care of my little Bully girl, and her anxious human!

It pains me to write this review, because until they sent our dog home with an unexplained and unremarked-upon wound, we were loving this place. We were in the Daycare Club, our dog went two days a week for 3-4 months, and he loved it. He was always excited to get there, then exhausted but excited to go home. The people were always friendly, he always seemed happy to see them, and they offered several enrichment activities in the short time we were customers, from which they sent us several pictures of a happy dog. Then this week, on a day that he happened to get a bath there, too, we found a serious puncture wound near his groin when we brought him home-small, but open and deep, subcutaneous tissue clearly visible. He didn't have it when we dropped him off, and we'd come straight home after picking him up; whatever it was, it happened there, and nobody said a peep about it. In a subsequent phone call, a manager did suggest that perhaps he had suffered the wound post-bath, but when we found it at home, the wound was clean as a whistle without so much as a speck of blood, strongly indicating it had been washed. Our vet termed it a puncture wound of unknown origin, and had to sedate our dog in order to clear damaged tissue from the wound and sew it up, to the tune of $1,100 that we didn't exactly have to spare, but that's beside my main point. He did great at the vet and is his same old self behavior-wise and as long as he keeps his cone on he will heal completely and all's well that ends well. I do not think for one moment, and would never suggest, that anybody there did anything intentional to hurt our dog. However, either: A- somebody saw him get hurt, or saw the wound on him, and didn't say anything to anybody about it, or B- nobody, including the two groomers who trimmed his nails and gave him a bath, noticed the open wound, which was roughly the size of a pea and clearly visible, on an area near his groin that is not obscured by fur, and frankly either of those feels like a serious breach of trust. The manager I spoke with after we got home from the vet was very business-like and respectful of my concerns, did an investigation on her end, and apologized for no one noticing or doing anything about it, which I suppose was the most she could do. When I told her we didn't feel comfortable bringing him back, there was no conversation about Gee, what can we do to make this right?, she simply said she understood our point of view and wished us the best. Our dog really loved going there to play, I hope we can find him a new place he'll like as much. I'm not writing this to tell you not to trust K9 Activity Club with your dog. I'm writing this because it bums me out that we no longer feel like we can trust them with ours.

We have used K9 Activity Club numerous times for boarding. We have used for short (3 day) and long (2 week) stays and my dogs return home happy and healthy. One of our dogs is not able to mix with other dogs and K9 Activity is very accommodating. The stay are all friendly and give my dogs the care and love they need while we are away. We will continue to use them in the future every time we go out of town.
