Owners Share Their Stories
Every breed of dog, all ages! We are thrilled to have discovered this place and have a boost of new found confidence in our relationship with our dog. The facility, the property, the variety of training packages/board and train (option) etc and the amazing staff are what makes packed inn k9 your best choice, far and wide. 5 stars!
I can’t say enough good things about Pack’d Inn K9. They truly feel like family, you know the ones that make you laugh and look forward to seeing each other lol. Every time I pick her up the girls always have a story or funny moment to share. It’s clear she’s genuinely known and loved, which has not been my experience before. Kila is not the cuddle and love you type of dog.
Kila was boarded for over a week. Unlike most boarding facilities, where she would be kept in a kennel. She was able to be part of the day train program, stay active, continue her training and do as many perimeter checks as she wanted.
I also LOVE all the videos and pictures they post — it honestly feels like I don’t miss a thing while I’m away. Seeing her play, train, and just be herself, meant I could relax and not worry about her. Yes we checked for pictures everyday.
The best part is they even sell her food. So now I don’t have to carry all of her heavy frozen food and explain how to prep it.
They were honest with me when she had a little separation anxiety one night (she is a German Shepherd after all!) and handled it with so much care and understanding.
Once all the excitement of being home was gone. I got ready to take her back for day train and was worried she wouldn’t want to leave me. To my surprise I came downstairs to her picking up her own collar and leash by the door. That’s the best review in my opinion.
I feel so grateful to have found Mariah, Seneca and the team. I can relax on vacation knowing she is being taken care of and is enjoying her own stay-cation.
FAQs
Ready to Transform Your Dog?
Here's What to Expect.
How quickly will I see my dog change?
Most owners notice behavioural shifts within a few weeks. But here’s the real magic: with consistent owner coaching and reinforcement, you’ll see sustainable transformation that sticks. Unlike other trainers who hand your dog back and disappear, we’re with you every step. Your dog’s success is your success, and we make sure you have everything you need to maintain those wins long-term.
Why choose Packd Inn over other trainers?
We don’t just train dogs, we transform lives. We specialize in the cases everyone else turns away: severe reactivity, aggression, anxiety. Our balanced, ethical methods are grounded in real-world reliability, not just obedience. You get continuous owner coaching, a community of supportive owners, and ongoing support that extends far beyond your training program. When you work with us, you’re not just getting a trainer, you’re getting a partner in your dog’s success.
What if my dog has never been trained before?
Perfect. Starting fresh means building solid foundations from day one. Whether it’s a puppy, a rescue, or a dog with years of bad habits, we create a personalized path forward. Our private sessions and day programs are designed to meet your dog exactly where they are. Many owners are amazed at how quickly their dog responds once they understand what clarity and consistency feel like.
Do You Offer Ongoing Support After Training Ends?
Yes. We believe your dog’s success is a lifetime journey, not a one-time event. You’ll have access to homework guidance, follow-up sessions, and our owner community for continued support. Many clients maintain progress through day train subscriptions and periodic check-ins to ensure skills stay sharp.
How Do I Know If Training Is Right For My Dog?
If your dog struggles with reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or you simply want professional guidance building a strong foundation, training can help. The best first step is a free meet and greet where we assess your dog’s needs and personality. We’ll be honest about whether our programs are the right fit and recommend the best path forward.
