We love this place. The people are so nice and accommodating and you can usually get walk in nail trims, which work well for us! They also have a really nice selection of treats that aren't filled with a bunch of gross stuff and their prices are super reasonable. You can get a huge beef stick for like $3 and your dog will be in doggy heaven. Definitely recommend!

I called about 2 weeks ago to try and get my dog in for daycare, and they said she would have to do an assessment which is totally fine but they said they would call me back a couple days later, and they never did so I called and they said the same thing and it's been 3 weeks now and I still have heard nothing from them. It honestly made me a little annoyed because I've been looking for a place for my dog to go to, and they're closest to where I live. It would have been nice if they would have just said they were full, or something besides just ignoring me.

We are attending puppy classes here. We are getting information and ideas that we can use right away and it's working!

We take our two Weimaraner girls swimming at Clever K9s and always have a GREAT time! The staff is wonderful! Everyone is happy, cheerful, and very helpful! Check in always goes well and the pool area is always pristinely clean and ready to go! Love that there is a rinse off area and dryer available especially with the cold weather. The matting on the ramp and main deck is wonderful and makes it super easy and safe for our girls to get in and out of the pool They also have a separate exit which makes leaving with two excited and tired Weims a breeze! The girls and I highly recommend Clever K9s!

Horrible Horrible Horrible. The first time I left this review was when I arrived from Appleton at 6am and the doors never opened. I was repremanded at work for being over an hour late. They opened about 45 minutes later than the open time and had a line of people waiting. I had to decide to wait or drive all the way back to Appleton. This time was completely horrible.

My dog has been scheduled for a grooming for nearly 2 months and her hair is bad (standard Poodle)! It was bad when I booked it and the only reason I booked with Clever K9 was because my original groomer was booked. I received a call while at work and called back after just to be told I missed my today's appointment. Now I wouldn't be upset if I hadnt called and confirmed this date weeks ago!

So was the person just busy and agreeing then instead of giving me an accurate correction? Now they are refusing to get me in AT ALL because they are"booked, " which I truly believe they are just saying because they know I'm leaving a review. I'm confused on how we went from speaking with Kate "I can see if I can get you in in a few weeks" to another person "Were completely booked, we can't get you in at all." The response I got after saying I'm leaving a review about this was, "this is Kate and I'm the one who made the appointment.

I know I made it for Monday." You know every booking you've made and the day for the past 2 months? Unbelievable and horrible service. At the end of the day, my dog suffers. I'll continue to use Clever only when I have late nights, though I'll be weary going forward (How can I trust you with my baby if I can't even trust you with organized dates and confirmation?).Beware of your appointments!

Book groomings anywhere but here. I'm at fault for relying on a daycare for additional services. I left my information to speak with Adam, the owner, I doubt anything will be done still. The only plus from this situation is that I haven't signed my dog up for trainings yet and now I know to invest my trust/money elsewhere going forward. **Update** Adam had a random person call me back.

They terminated client relations because I was disrespectful by asking too many questions and getting angry over their mistake. I can't say I'm disappointed! No cussing had occured, I disconnected and called immediately back. Just questions were asked. This is how this local business treats it's customers! Again, Beware! I'm sure it was easier to end things rather than fix any mistakes made!

The team at Clever K9s has been amazing to work with. Our puppy has been enjoying day trips, training, grooming and treats there for over a year now. Busy place though. May not always have a room at the Inn.

I have been going to Clever for over 10 years. I have taken a variety of classes and done their agility ring rentals. I frequently recommend their training classes to friends as well. Very nice place, nice equipment and mats. Owner is great :

Great handling my two labs for a short stay and the puppy enjoys the occasional doggie day care.

1st Day visiting Clever K9s and I was greeted very warmly upon entering. I had an appointment for my newly adopted cat, Ash, for his front and rear claws to be clipped. I met Rain who exuded such confidence and answered all my question while assuring me all would be well. A few minutes later, Ash was back out front and back claws clipped. Fears arrested and now we will be known as "regulars" thanks to the excellent care given today! I am thrilled I found an excellent group of care givers first time out of the box! You, guys, ROCK! l.

Clever K9s is awesome. Our dogs really liked the training: the basic, smell, and agility. Adam is a great small business owner and we have been happy to support his team for years. They also have a great selection of quality food and treats.

Always clean, always professional & friendly staff and have great pricing on all my dogs essentials. The owner is a very hard worker who is always doing everything he can to make sure everybody has a great experience in all areas of the business. Highly recommend for shopping, classes, daycare and grooming!

Adam and his team are wonderful! They take excellent care of dogs and cats, and always stock the latest and greatest products. Our Bulldog Blue LOVED the treats she got, and her little jacket keeps her so warm. Plus, the facilities are immaculately clean. We look forward to going back soon!

I emailed Clever K9's about boarding my dog this coming weekend and asked multiple questions. I work the night shift and am usually unable to call during their business hours. I haven't received any response and this is unfortunate because the reviews seemed good. Their online packet where you sign your dog's life away was discouraging, meaning they'll take no responsibility for any of their actions if your dog becomes injured due to their handling or allowance of recreation.

I had recently moved to the area and found out I had to un-expectantly go out of town for work. I needed to board my dog, so I checked out Clever K9s since it's right across town from me. I was very happy with the service I received there. The flexibility to drop of my dog anytime during the drop off window (and the same for pick up) makes life easy.

No need to set up an exact appointment and be charged if you are running late. The staff are all passionate about dogs, and I felt like my dog was wanted there; he wasn't just "business". When I called to check on him, the staff all knew him by name and would give me updates on his behavior. He came home clean and happy when I picked him up from his 2 weeks stay! I will certainly continue to use Clever K9s for future trips!

Post 3: Back up to 5, they got the product back in stock listed below, I am glad they were understanding of our needs. Post 2: Well just lowered rating. They quit selling the med we use, that they sold me on. Down to 2 stars. Post 1: Parker loves to get his nails done here, The staff is so nice. Parker is a very high energy dog and they never have trouble with him. Their recommendations for food were spot on and at a fair price. They carry a calming pill that works well for us.

We adopted a sweet, adorable, albeit skittish little dog a few months ago. We have been getting him groomed here since we got him, and they do a fantastic job with him! They clip his nails SO FAST he doesn't even have time to freak out about strangers handling him. He has short hair but sheds like CRAZY, and they do a great job brushing him out for us also. Their prices are competitive with other places in the area and I love that they are locally owned and operated.

Both my dog and I love Clever K9s! I've been taking my dog to daycare here for a few months now and it's fantastic! She can hardly contain her excitement when she realizes where we are going. I love that they focus on training and don't let dogs get away with doing whatever they want, I truly believe my dog is more well behaved because she goes here.

I also like that they cap the amount of dogs they will take each day so i know there is a watchful eye being kept over her. The staff is all very knowledgeable about food, grooming and training tips as well. I've moved since I first started taking her here and I drive an extra half an hour out of my way to bring her to Clever K9s because I trust them.

This is a great dog training facility. I have trained dogs in several states in the Midwest and Clever K9's is a class act. The trainers are not only knowledgeable about dogs, but communicate well with the owners. Everyone really seems to have the best interest of the dog clearly in focus at all times. They also work well with problem dogs and give you every opportunity to learn to help your dog be well behaved and enjoy life at the same time. I would recommend all of their services without reservation. We drive nearly an hour each way just to train our dogs with them.

Without a doubt, this is the best dog training, boarding and daycare facility in the area. They also offer grooming, I just haven't used that. Nita, the owner, is very knowledgeable about dogs and can make my dog do anything! The staff are friendly, the place is clean and best of all, my dog LOVES GOING THERE. He's a little guy with a lot of energy, and we take him to daycare every so often to burn off some steam.

We also board him there and have his nails regularly trimmed there. They have a very large facililty, and are very careful with the animals and treat owners very respectfully, I highly recommend them!
