Heath loves going to Shag Bark! He is always excited to go to "school" and see his friends. The staff is always so nice and it is clear how much they love him because they take care of him so well. We drop him off knowing that he is safe and having fun. The training classes at Shag Bark are helping Heath reach his full potential as a great companion. Cathi has been a tremendous teacher. Our thanks to each and every one of the staff. 

Business response:

Thank you, Jamie, for your kind words. It's wonderful having you and Heath and Ed in class. You do a great job with him!

I cannot say enough good things about Shag Bark! Sadie loves going to daycare, and it has really helped with her socialization. We also go to Shag Bark for training. We just completed the Canine Manners class and can't wait to begin our second class. Cathi, the training manager, is wonderful to work with, very communicative, and truly cares about your dog's well being.

Scout has learned so much since starting at Shagbark. He's learned to play nicely with other dogs and we've learned doggy day care tires him out for great night of sleep! He loves the way the staff treats him like their own and we love knowing he's being taken care of really well. We've taken 2 rounds of training classes with Kathi and with practice at home, Scout is turning into a fine canine citizen! Kathi is great! We will be signing up for our third class soon and look forward to continuing to learn! 

Business response:

Thanks, Allie! I enjoy having Jack and Scout in classes and I'm so happy that you'll be able to join us for the next one. The hard work you're both doing with Scout has really paid off.
