My puppy started going to daycare at Dog Zone weekly for socialization. Each week Ellie was excited to go to daycare and came home very tired.After a while, I wanted to be able to take her to my office so she could offer therapeutic support to my clients, but she needed to be very well trained for that. I was apprehensive about leaving her for training but after meeting with Sarah and seeing how passionate she is about dogs and their families, I felt confident that Ellie would be well cared for. Although I missed her, I knew she was happy and learning so much! It also helped that I received pictures and videos of her regularly throughout training. Towards the end of her training Ronda asked me to join them so she could show me how to continue working with Ellie at home, offering individualized recommendations. When training is done, they encourage people to reach out, and have been happy to help when I have. When you see them around the dogs, it is clear they all truly love what they do.Ellie continues to attend daycare weekly and absolutely loves to see them all. Just a few of the things she learned are walking respectfully on a leash, “leave it” and “place”. These skills have all helped her to be very successful at home and at work where she can help others. Everyone at Dog Zone is amazing!!

Our lab was traumatized early on from a surgery he needed as a pup. For months we tried to train him on our own, but he was so frightful of EVERYTHING and anybody! We decided he needed some expert training as we weren't gaining much ground. We heard about DogZone from someone we know. We did an evaluation with them in which the trainers helped assess what they thought would be the best course of action.Our lab ended up doing the six weeks of stay and train where he was at DogZone from M-F and home for the weekend. This was a big step for us and our lab, but within just the first few days there was BIG progress! As an example: He was absolutely frightful of walking across the wood flooring in some sections of our house; within that first week the trainers had him walking across multiple surfaces and objects with relative ease.Throughout the whole process, we received many updates from the various trainers with pictures included so we knew our boy was doing okay. At the end, we got a long and informative training session so we knew what commands, teachings, and applications we needed to do, along with a booklet and some extra equipment, to assist us on our end.Taking our lab to DogZone was a reach in the dark for us, but it really turned our lab around and he is still continuing to improve at home with the foundations he has been shown at DogZone.We plan to come back in the future once he is neutered so we can take him to doggy day care and play with the other pups!

Dog Zone was an amazing experience! I took my puppy there and did the 6-week program. I saw a huge improvement in my dog(Leia’s) behavior. Things I thought she would never be able to do (like be in her crate on her own) and even her ability to listen to simple commands changed drastically. The owner Sarah and all the trainers are incredibly caring and kind. Each of them truly does take the time to form a relationship with not just your dog, but you as well. The owner is also very flexible and understanding of certain situations. They also are effective and quick with communication and are always willing to help with any issue, concern, or question you may have. I’m incredibly happy with the results and will definitely be taking Leia back for daycare! 10/10 Highly recommend Dog Zone for any type of dog daycare and/or training!

Absolutely LOVE Dog Zone! Kelly and Sarah did an amazing job working with a Lab Mix in our Rescue’s foster network. The staff is very professional, knowledgeable and insightful. Our dog was enrolled in an intense 6-week training program. Throughout the training, DZ communicated with our foster team via daily texts & videos. Both Kelly & Sarah patiently answered our many questions and worked on problem behaviors which interfered with finding an adopter. We can’t say enough good things about the transformation we’ve observed with this dog. THANK YOU Dog Zone!

Toby has been home from training for 3 weeks now. We still have work todo but I'm amazed with the changes so far! I can't thank dog zone enough!These are just some of the major things we have been working on...▪️Sleeping through the night (I spent over a year not sleeping. He would bark and want to go outside multiple times)▪️Not attacking the vacuum▪️kids are able to play with toys on the floor▪️Staying out of kids bedroom is getting better▪️Off leash in yard with good recall▪️leave it command is getting better

What happened to my dog? I asked my wife this question after completing Dog Zone’s pinch-collar training for our Aussiedoodle. The transformation was nothing short of amazing. Like many dogs, our’s would literally choke himself pulling so hard on walks…until Dog Zone stepped in. The training staff not only trained our dog, but also spent a session training us on proper use and techniques. On the first walk after training was finished I had a dog that never pulled on the leash, and was locked in with me the entire time (despite multiple neighbors, dogs, and squirrels outside). We use Dog Zone for weekly daycare, grooming, and now I’ll add training to the list of things I highly recommend. Thank you Dog Zone!

I could not recommend Dog Zone enough for the help they provided with our rescue dog, Luna. It has been amazing to see her become a more confident dog. Luna attends daycare and completed training with Dog Zone. Together we both learned many proper techniques and are very thankful. All of the staff is incredibly professional and passionate about their work

Dog Zone is a true gem! Our dog Stella has been a playmate at the daycare for the past 3 months. She gets so excited to go each day and this offers her a healthy outlet for play and exercise. She also participated in Dog Zones “Play and Train” training package. This option allowed her 1:1 training to focus on basic commands and most impressively her leash manners. I cannot express how grateful I am to be able to walk my dog without being the one “being walked”. I have been thoroughly impressed by all of the staff. Pick up and drop off are so efficient and you can confidently drop your dog go off knowing they’ll love them like their own. Sarah the owner is very personable, informative and you can tell she truly loves the pups! The trainers Lori and Kelly know exactly what they are doing and take their time to be sure you have all your questions answered so you walk out of the training with your dog set up for success!

Could not be happier with this place! We have brought two dogs to Dog Zone and have had great experiences. Not only a great place for daycare but also a great place for grooming. The staff did an amazing job working with our dog to make her comfortable when she needed her nails trimmed. She is now able to sit while her nails are trimmed and is not anxious. Great prices for the quality of service you receive for grooming! Thanks Dog Zone!

I highly recommend Dog Zone and their many services for your dog, including daycare, grooming, and multiple levels of training.Our rescue pup, Indi, started attending doggie daycare at DZ and loves playing with her fur friends! I’m always greeted at drop off and pick up with positive feedback, tips, and advice to help me become a better dog parent.In January, Indi attended DZ’s intensive 3 week training course. It was thrilling to see how much she had learned just in the first week! Our trainer, Kelly, made sure that Indi and I were comfortable together with our new skills and continues to support us as we work together as a team. She is truly invested in the success of a positive and happy relationship between you and your dog.Owner, Sarah, and the entire DZ staff love what they do and it shows in how happy Indi and her fur friends are while they are there.

I highly recommend Dog Zone. Ever since we brought Dutton home he has been involved at Dog Zone. He started as a Puppy and we most recently did the Stay and Train E Collar Program.We were surprised to learn how stubborn our Schnauzer is. But doing the E Collar Training has made him a totally different Dog. He responds to commands and overall is a much more obedient Dog. I could not recommend this training program more.We also have always been treated so great by the Staff and Trainer. They communicate effectively and went above and beyond anytime we reach out. If you have a Dog and are looking for an excellent place to go. Choose Dog Zone.

Sneakers loves coming here. He gets to spend the day playing with his doggy friends and even gets a nail trim every 4 weeks. He is exhausted and happy when he comes home. So glad for Dog Zone.

Amazing staff, very helpful and knowledgeable, helped us all reach full potential and goals, it was like getting the best version of our dog back after training. Worth EVERY dollar for their training program! I would highly recommend them. A thousand thank you's!!!!!! Nova really enjoys the daycare option and the chance to interact with dog peers in a safe, informed environment, puts our mind at ease as well. With the training and collar techniques all of us are now able to enjoy our walks, social interactions, and beach time with the peace of mind knowing Nova is safe and following commands. So grateful for all their work that went into helping Nova grow to her fullest potential.

Our 9 year old Bo has been going to Dog Zone since he was a puppy, he absolutely loves it. Somehow he knows when Friday rolls around it's his day to go and he waits eagerly for his leash to be put on and the car ride over. When he gets home at the end of the day it's as a content and tired dog. The staff has always been wonderful, some of them have even dog and house sat for us when we are traveling. We love the Dog Zone.

Dog Zone helped make a huge difference in our puppy. They showed us effective training techniques and made life with a puppy much more pleasant. After seeing the difference of our pup in a week, I highly recommend them to everyone.

We brought our puppy to Dog Zone and have loved the wonderful environment they provide for him to play, socialize, and exercise during the day while we work. Our dog is so eager for the days he gets to ride in the car and go to Dog Zone! We have been so impressed by the care they provide, and can see they have a true love and passion for all the dogs they take care of! Attached is a picture of our dog—all tuckered out!—after a day at doggie day care at Dog Zone.

This is Ares, when we first got him, he had no training and he was 8 months old. He had severe resource guarding issues. We had no idea, he had behavioral issues. The previous owner, did not disclose that information. We found Dog Zone and we were greeted with a pleasant voice and helpful suggestions, on what to do, until we could go there and have the evaluation. Rhonda was one of trainers, what an amazing trainer. Her personality and professionalism was a 10 for sure. She was knowledgeable and taught us alot of things we didn't know. Kelli was a wonderful trainer as well. The two of them together make a great team. The owner was kind and very supportive through our journey with Ares. Thank you for the professionalism and all of the facebook updates, while he was in training. We appreciate all of the help and support. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Such an awesome place! We took our Rottweiler puppy there for the three week course. It did wonders! Best money ever spent! Thank you all so much for what you have done with our new family member.

My husband and I recently purchased a puppy and researched several options for day care, training and grooming options for our new addition. We visited several facilities and were overwhelmed with joy when we visited the Dog Zone. We have never enlisted the aid of trainers and the staff and owners at Dog Zone were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. They walked us through process, explained all our options, helped us determine not only the best fit for our family but for the best outcome for our pet. It was amazing to me that even the staff members that we had not met knew us and knew our puppy and were familiar with our puppy’s personality. It was so nice to receive little text photos and videos of our puppy at play. Our puppy is learning and growing and we owe it all to the Dog Zone. This has been a great experience for us all and I would highly recommend the Dog Zone to anyone considering day care, assessment, grooming.And Obedience classes. We will continue to use their services.

The owner took several minutes to explain a dog's behavior to me even though she didn't provide the service. Very nice and willing to help!!!!!

Stopped in this morning to try to talk to them about taking my dogs here, quick welcome was professional at the beginning, but their toned changed quickly when they found out they were Huskies and we're not neutered but on your day camp policy strictly says must be sprayed and neutered to attend Camp unless prior arrangements have been made ! this was not brought up, evan after i said i was considering having them spayed and neutered, she then changed her tone to try to educate me on how huskies are difficult breeds and well not handle well with other dogs ! This is not a a welcoming place.

When we drop our puppy off too daycare the lady working the front desk , always looked like she didn’t want us there. Not friendly at all. Plus when we started there we asked if she need shot records from our vet. She, said as long as your dog is up to date. Which that was a red flag for us. Our puppy ended up with roundworms and kennel cough after the first week of being there. So be careful when they ask if your dog is up to date that’s a huge red flag.

Everyone there is very professional and friendly.They spend a lot if time with your dog to ensure they don't leave with all the naughty habits you brought them in with 😊.My year old lab Kyla is my baby, but she was so out of control I needed help.I reached out to Dog Zone and they did a tremendous job with her, her behavior is like night and day.I can't thank them enough, and I would definitely recommend their services to anyone having problems with their naughty fur babies 😊

I was very pleased with the staff and the service that I received last month. I will definitely use this facility in the future for my dog's extended grooming needs. I have not used their daycare services thus far but I definitely plan to look into this in the near future! Also, I would recommend this facility to others in a heartbeat!(**Thank you Bridget for doing a fabulous job on the newest member of our family!**)

We use Dog Zone for daycare and for training. Training has been helpful and the trainers are always knowledgeable and supportive. Our dog loves the daycare and she is always treated well and is clearly part of their family. I'd encourage anyone to use the service for socialization of your dog(s).

We took my mother's dog, a teacup poodle, here to see Ava. She was surprised he was so tiny, but she took her time grooming him. We got the standard poodle cut, and he turned out amazingly cute. He was very calm after his grooming, so we made another appointment right away.

We have used Dog Zone for both boarding and grooming numerous times and have always been pleased with our service. My dogs were happy to go and always came back clean and happy. Never had an issue - 5 Stars

Unprofessional owners and staff. Never remembered our pup’s name after months of going to camp. Very passive aggressive when dropping off and picking up. Seemed to look down on us for how we train our dog. We tried the overpriced training class, and the trainers made both my dog and girlfriend cry due to their agressiveness and condisending manner. We thought it was a doggy day care, not a kennel facility. Would not recommend to ANYONE.
