Colonial K-9

We use to board our dogs at the vet's office. One time they were full and they recommended Colonial K9.2 years later and we are still boarding our dogs here! We love the staff and know that our dogs are well taken care of. I no longer feel guilty of leaving the dogs locked up in a small crate all day at the vets office. Our dogs are able to share a kennel, which was important for us because 1) our dogs are rescues and we didn't want them to feel like they were being left behind again and 2) because they are a bonded pair with separation anxiety; they also get plenty of playtime in the fenced in yard. Highly Recommend Colonial K9!

We boarded our dogs for 6 days and we are extremely UNHAPPY in the condition we got our dogs back in. Our poor Henny came back sick, throwing up food and blood which is crazy.we dropped her off healthy and feeling good. They both received a full check up the day prior to drop off and the vet said they were both good, so we KNOW they had no issues going in.

Her energy is completely off. Additionally, we requested baths for both of our dogs which we did not receive, this was requested at drop off. Both our dogs are significantly dirtier. It appears our dogs were not fed. We've boarded our dogs before and have never head a cause of concern. Sure we could have check in, I don't disagree but with a history of not having issues and the good reviews we read.

We trusted the following establishment. If there was an issue, it should have been brought to our attention, my husband's number was listed on file as requested AND during pick-up, we could have been informed that something was wrong. I rarely leave reviews but I'm extremely unhappy with the condition of my dogs.

Worked w/Meredith - she's awesome said my Australian Cattle dog Roxi is ready for basic agility training

This is my go to boarder in NOVA. My miniature schnauzer loves the place. Sat morning, he was like bye!

I picked up Bucky today following boarding him for a week. Bucky is 18 months old and has been going to daycare there since he was 6 or 7 months. Bucky loves going to Colonial K9 and gets super excited as soon as we are almost there. I like knowing that Bucky is safe and having fun while I am away. I will definitely use Colonial K9 for future boarding needs and will continue to use their daycare.

I sent my Great Dane to Hella K9s for board and train to work on basic puppy skills and overall obedience. His trainer was Taylor and to say she was amazing is an understatement. She was in constant contact with updates and any health concerns, she cared for dog like he was one of her own. I highly recommend Hella K9s to anyone who asks me. It was truly a wonderful experience, for both me and my dog.

The staff at Colonial K9 treated our dog with the utmost love and care during the board-and-train program. Her trainer, Bill, showed us how to work with her aggressive tendencies. Our dog went from biting our children to bringing toys over to them to play. He treated her as his own and we are eternally grateful for that!

Roo and Ellie Grace just got home from their first boarding experience ever. They did great! The staff took excellent care of them, and I have more reservations for November. Great place. They were safe, got exercise and love and good accommodations. Will definitely be using them a lot in the future.

We adopted a medium size mixed breed who was afraid of dogs her size and larger. We knew she needed to be socialized so we searched for a doggie daycare to help. I also knew she was going to need obedience training so a place that offered both and was teasingly priced was top priority. I looked at several places and felt most comfortable with Colonial K9 and their staff.

I can't speak to others experience but so far we are VERY happy with our choice. Our fur baby is great around other dogs of all sizes now and her training is going well. Athena is always so ready to go to daycare and loves the staff. She's always excited to see them. I would highly recommend Colonial K9.

I'm leaving 2 stars because my dogs were still alive when I picked them up. Story: in late May, 2021 my husband and I toured the facility, and decided this would be an okay "plan-B" for boarding our dogs during a week of vacation. Before the end of May, we got the vet to send over shot records, and even got a call from Colonial saying they received them, and at that time my husband had an extensive conversation with Colonial, and booked them for our trip.

Day before we leave, we arrive at Colonial to board the dogs. First, they have no shot records, look for them for 20 minutes, and finally call my vet, who says, why are you calling, we sent them to you weeks ago. They re-send the records. We booked 2 runs next to each other (during that extensive conversation the previous month), but when I get there to drop my 3 dogs off, all of the big dog runs are full but one.

So one dog had to go into the other building with the small dogs. We have no choice but to leave them there. Fast forward to the drive back from vacation when we get a call the day BEFORE we were scheduled to pick our dogs up and we get a call from Colonial saying, "Are you going to pick these dogs up?" Like they were just some stray dogs they picked up off the street.

When we tell them we aren't scheduled for pick up until the following day. All we got from them was "oh". I was left feeling like the dogs are just money to them, and no real care goes into what they do. We complained about all of this to the "assistant manager" when we picked up our gang, and again, we got "oh, sorry". Turns out she was the one who called us the previous day. Swell. More lack of compassion. I will not be back, and I hope to warn others to not leave their fur babies with these folks.

I brought my one year old Golden Retriever here from June 24 - June 27. My dog has never been to a kennel. When I booked my appointment over the phone, I explained that I wanted my dog to attend doggie day care during her stay. I also made it clear that my dog was very nervous when first meeting people and other dogs, but once she warmed up, she loved being around others.

I explained this over the phone and was told it wasn't a problem. On the day I dropped my dog off, she was scared and would not leave my side. I spoke with Daniel who reassured me that my dog would do a trial to see how she would do with doggie day care since she seemed so nervous. I explained that I wanted her to have playtime during the day.

He reassured me that she would do the trial and if there were any problems, he would call me. However, when I picked up my dog on June 27th, I asked the woman behind the counter how my dog did with daycare and assumed she loved it since I didn't get a phone call. The woman at the counter informed me that my dog seemed scared so they didn't bother doing a trial with her to see if she liked the daycare.

The woman then tells me that my dog wasn't too scared because she ate her food with no problem. Ummm, ok. So she wasn't that scared, but no one wanted to take the time to see if she would like daycare. When I went to get my dog, she had her head down, tail between her legs and would not acknowledge me. The entire car ride home she kept her head down and would not look at me.

It broke my heart. I called and spoke to the assistant manager about my concerns today and all she could say was, "Sorry, next time we will make sure your dog gets a trial for the daycare." This place seems to only care about filling their kennels with dogs for the money and just leaving them there. Don't bring your dog here if you are expecting them to get the love and attention they deserve.

We left our German Shorthair Pointer here for 8 days while out of state. The place looked very clean and kennels were clean and nice. Staff was also very nice. We will defiantly go there again. Best place we found in the area so far.

Nice clean facilities. Allow dogs to have out of the cage time to run and play without charging for it. Reasonably priced, outstanding and personable staff. Also a training facility for your pet.

Everyone at Colonial was wonderful with our two crazy dogs! We used them for an extended stay while we were getting ready to move into our new home. They called right away when it looked like our Great Dane wasn't eating much so we could add some wet food topper to get him back to eating. Both dogs appeared happy and healthy when we picked them up after 20 days! Will definitely be using Colonial again when we go on vacation.

My Goldendoodle puppy is WILD. But, thanks to Colonial K9, our dog is showing noticeably better control on the leash after doing a week of training here. He even learned some new commands and does them every time! I'm so impressed. All of the staff are warm and friendly and it's obvious that they care and love dogs.

We leave our Max here when we go out of town on some weekends! The staff is so nice and the place is very clean. Max absolutely loves going to them

We left our puppy here over Christmas break! Needless to say we will be leaving him here again. This place was very clean and each dog had plenty of room. The price was around 240 before the military discount. The staff was very friendly and helpful. He came home super tired and seemed to have had a good time!

My doggies loved it here! They stayed for three days while we moved (didn't want to risk them getting hurt or loose in the process). Their kennel was clean when I picked them up, and I had to wait upon arrival because their food dishes from home were being washed - very impressed with the overall cleanliness of this place! The kennels appear well-organized when you walk in with each animal's info posted at their kennel door. The staff was super friendly and very helpful in answering any questions I had!

We have been going to Colonial K-9 for the past two years after a friend recommended them to us and have always been pleased with the service and facilities. We don't have any experience with their training services, but we always use them when we need to kennel our two dogs. The kennels are clean, the staff are friendly, and our dogs are always excited to go there.

Unlike kennels in other places we've lived, we've never had an issue with the dogs getting kennel cough or coming home with any other issues. Overall, we highly recommend them and we always feel good leaving our dogs with them.

Our dogs love it there! The staff is extremely friendly and have gained the trust of our extremely hesitant pups! Definitely recommend them!

I brought my dog here for Good Canine Citizen training. I didn't think my dog would pass the training but thanks all our efforts (trainer and my family), she passed. I also bring her here for day care every now and then. The staff is friendly and have a real interest in the dogs in day care.
