B & B Canine

We have done puppy play time, training, daycare, and boarding with Amy. We have loved it all. Amy does a great job and our dogs love her. As soon as we turn the corner the dogs know we are close and get very excited. When being boarded they get to play outside all day instead of sitting in their kennels. Prices are reasonable and it is the only place we go!

I started bringing my 1 yr old rescue rat terrier mix here after a recommendation from a friend. After going through a level one training class, he is so much more confident and less anxious. I felt like every week, she would address the next behavior question I have with him. Throughout the class, you gain an understanding of why your dog reacts to things the way he does, and it becomes more and more clear how knowledgeable Amy is.

After his training class ended, he started going to daycare and boarding here. The love that Amy has for my dog makes me feel like it's the safest place for him while I'm away. I really like that dogs are outside playing all day instead of in kennels (and they post pics and great resources on Facebook). It's also very convenient to be able to text in reservations and venmo payments! I would definitely recommend B&B to anyone looking for training and boarding because I feel like they care about my dog as much as I do.

My mother inlaw recommended B&B to me and I'm glad I didnt go anywhere else. My puppy absolutely loves going to her training sessions she goes crazy as soon as we get to the road and is ready to go!

Would not recommend this facility for training dogs such as Samoyeds (or many Northern Breed dogs). Here's my background: I've trained 5 Samoyeds since the 1970s. My most recent training classes were in 2004 & 2008 in Dog Works, Eden Prairie, MN. I'm on 6-7 Samoyeds. All my Sammys have won obedience awards. That's my base in addition to knowing the Breed better than an instructor who is obviously not familiar with Northern Breeds.

The instructor's knowledge of training is mediocre at best. "Positive reinforcement" has been around for a long time. My wife & I both agreed after our experience that it was sub-standard. I went to this facility for socializing my puppy. For example, the trainer is arrogant and unwilling to learn about the breed, I have 50 years plus experience with Samoyeds.

I ignored her uneducated comments when I've been successful & know the breed. First day, She told me that holding my Sammy puppy in a cradle position was wrong. She claimed my dog is terrified. I almost laughed in her face. I've done that with all my Sammy puppies. "My dog was completely at ease & not squirming." When a dog allows you to cradle them in a submissive position, it's a sign of trust & bonding.

I ignored her uneducated suggestion. Northern Breeds, especially Sammys, are social given their long history isolated in Upper Siberia & genetics. Next ignorant suggestion for a Sammy, "don't put your hand around the puppies mouth when he has food." It's because of her belief that all dogs are resource guarding. They are not, & Sammys are an example of a breed where you can avoid this "behavioral issue." I familiarize the puppy with hands around his mouth while feeding, hand feeding, etc.

The dog develops trust. It's called desensitization training. "Never" had a single Sammy puppy or adult react aggressively to me or any family member. It's useful if your Sammy gets ahold of a toxic substance or other situations. Samoyeds are intelligent, social dogs, can be vocal at times, & get bored if you don't challenge them. This instructor is not knowledgeable about breed differences. "Dog Works" owners, where I last trained, were owners of Northern Breed dogs & understood the breed differences.

I'm a member of many Samoyed Groups on Facebook. The comments in the groups recognize what I've stated in my review. I plan to post in my groups to help other Samoyed owners know to avoid this training facility.

We have been using B&B from the get go for our puppy and they have been absolutely great. Very good lessons every week and the staff is incredible. We also use the daycare and boarding facilities and could not be more happy. I would trust them any day of the week.

My dad took our Akita/GSD mix here nearly 20 years ago and still highly recommends B&B. They helped with basic obedience and other behavior concerns, and she was by far the most well-balanced and well-behaved dog he had ever owned. Techniques and guidance taught to him then are still what he uses with each canine member of our family (some cats, too.)

I would not take my dog anywhere else for training, daycare, or boarding! The two trainers I've worked with are Amy and Julie, and they are both fantastic! In addition to being super attentive in class, I've been able to call and text Amy questions and she is quick to reply. All the trainers are extremely patient and knowledgeable. I've taken my dog to B&B for: puppy preschool, obedience 1, obedience 2, obedience 3, and agility for fun.

In each class, she has learned valuable new skills. None of the obedience classes are repetitive (in that each class offers new, unique skills), which often happens in tiered levels of obedience training. I have also been boarding and putting my dog in daycare at B&B for the last year. The dogs are not couped up in kennels all day long or solely interacting with a handler, but they are outside playing in small groups with other dogs! My dog tries to jump out of the car to get to the fields to play with her friends. Any time a dog is that excited to get boarded, the boarder must be doing something right!

I can honestly say, "I'm an overly protective dog owner!" I treat my dog like my child on every level. This is the only place I will ever send my dog, Izzy. I've checked out other kennels and doggy daycare providers and the spaces, care and cost was not acceptable to me. B an B Canine only allows a handful of dogs in each play area which is the size of a huge neighbourhood back yard.

There must be 7-8 grassed play areas for the dogs to run. The cost is very reasonable and the care is phenominal. Amy (the owner) is hands on everyday. My dog knows her by name and gets so excited when she's going to see Miss Amy for daycare at least two times per week. I can't say enough about the quality services provided for my dog. I've been taking my dog their for over 4 years and have never had concerns on any level. Hats off to B and B! Fondly, Izzy and her overly protective mom

Really enjoy taking our dogs here! Day care is fun, but I enjoy the customized training classes, like agility training and nose work. The owner is very friendly and flexible and has done a great job helping train our pups. This is a positive reinforcement training facility. Be aware if your pup was trained via negative reinforcement/Ceasar Milan style. Sometimes things don't jive well as one example when my friend's dog tried and it didn't work out. Would recommend!
