Reviews
Joseph was great. He communicated daily and took the time to get to know the dogs. He even noticed my smallest one was having a bit of a hard time with the drinking buckets and brought different ones over so she didn’t have issues. We have five dogs all with different personalities so I also loved the fact he is a dog trainer and really clicked with each dog. He didn’t even have issues with my dog who doesn’t like strangers! We will absolutely being using Joseph when we are going out of town! I’m
Definitely recommend for Dog Boarding. Joseph was amazing. He came to meet my dog before boarding to make sure they were a good fit, replied to my messages right away, and sent pictures and updates throughout my dogs stay.
Joseph is an amazing dog handler, but more importantly, Joseph is a man of character, an outstanding person who is kind and caring. He was instrumental in every aspect of my dogs wellbeing. He was intuitive to the needs of my Belgian Malinois whether it be the first day of training at ten weeks or more advanced sessions, especially suited to the dog and owner. Joseph taught me things I was completely unaware of, allowing me to have more confidence in my own handling of my now almost full grown dog, who by nature is a very high energy working breed. I have complete confidence in Joseph and his ability, knowledge and professionalism, to the point that I trusted him to take my dog along with other dogs on a day long K9 excursion into a national park. I highly recommend Joseph for all of your K9 needs from the simple to the most complex.
Anyone’s dog/puppy would be so lucky to be cared for by Joseph! He turned my aggressive and very difficult to handle 125 lb puppy into a well-behaved 155 lb adult. He is a dog magician. My English mastiff, Monty, adores Joseph and I’m certain your dogs will too. I highly recommend Joseph. A+++++
