Linda Mar Kennels

My 1 yr old Irish setter recently attended the 2 week training with Lisa Rhodes. Lisa performed a miracle In regards to our dogs behavior. Before training she had every bad behavior, jumping, mouthing, car riding was out of control, walking on a leash was just pulling. She returned from her training so much calmer, walks perfectly on a leash, car riding shes calmer, behaves, jumping has stopped 100%.

We loved our dog Maise, but she was a handful since we picked her up at 6 weeks old. She is now still high energy, but she's a better behaved dog. This is all Lisa the trainer, she works miracles. Your dog will just be a nicer, better behaved dog. It was so hard for my husband & I to leave her for the two week training, so very glad we did.

This was my first time boarding my dog (due to a family emergency) and it was a great experience. My dog is a nervous guy and when the staff went to take him for his first walk he gave them some warning signs. Instead of giving up and just having him sit in the kennel the entire stay the team at Shamrock worked slowly to gain his trust and was able to take him for walks and make his time there as pleasant as possible. Really appreciate how caring the people here are.

Love Sea Dogs Grooming, located at Shamrock Kennels! Outstanding service, Lisa & Silver are wonderful. Gentle, patient, professional and exemplary cuts. I've been a client for almost 10 years & never disappointed. Best groomers I have ever used in my 24 years plus of dog ownership.

This was an effective option for our first time, a two night stay for three dogs including an agressive GSD. Professional staff and facility. These people know animals and keep them safe and healthy.

I brought my 17 week old chocolate lab to Lisa for puppy training. I was extremely nervous since he was so young and he is my baby boy. The training was two weeks and I was so scared he wouldn't remember me. I checked in with Lisa several times and she sent pictures and assured me Tucker was having fun. When I picked him up not only did he remember me but he was so well behaved.

He didn't have any bad habits before going in but I wanted him leash trained and a few more commands. He came out with so much more. I am extremely happy with Shamrock and Lisa. Thank you Lisa.

Nice place. Was greeted right away, friendly staff. Gina our groomer was very professional. She took care of Jowy for her first groom. We have a follow up appt coming up and am sure another A plus service. They also have training classes for your pups, will definitely sign up for it.

We had heard mixed reviews about the place, so didn't try it for some time. However, we did take our dogs there for some time (boarding and day care), but unfortunately had to find another solution and wouldn't recommend it if you have other options that avoid the pitfalls below. Staff: with the exception of one person, the staff are the bright spot.

The folks who work at the front desk were always nice, and the team who takes care of the dogs during day care were the best. It would be one star if not for these folks (again, minus the one). Facilities: a few issues here. First, the day care area: (1) it's largely outside and the dogs are able to dig, so there's the risk of exposure to standing water; and (2) two play areas sit right next to each other with a fence, which is odd for a place designed for dogs - it encourages fence aggression. Second, the boarding area was cacophonous - crazy loud.

I realize it's a kennel, but we've boarded our dogs at four different places and none were this loud. Other: after having the dogs there for some time, we were suddenly told they were being aggressive. We didn't see that behavior at home or at the dog park, and became suspicious. It happened to be around the same time we were checking out other places and made a move. Interestingly, we've heard nothing from the new place (and still seen nothing at home) - in fact, the report cards they provide show the dogs as playful. We prefer to keep money coastside when possible, but have switched to a place over the hill and are happy with it.

We took Fito, our Pit bull puppy, to them while we were traveling in Europe for 2 weeks. We chose their boarding and training camp since she used to pull a lot during walks. Lisa, the dog trainer, was amazing! It's a totally different dog now. She does not pull at all and she's very well behaved. I highly recommend their services! Thank you Lisa!

Happy thanksgiving to Hannah, the fabulous dog groomer at Shamrock Ranch. We all had a fun time and are now ready for the holidays.

First, let me note that we have a dog (Charlie) that is very nervous around strangers and it takes him a very long time to warm up to people. Their trainer, Lisa, was the first person that Charlie ever opened up to. It may have taken a few weeks of training with him, but she is amazing. Lisa taught us the proper techniques that other trainers and dog behaviorists failed to teach us. Lisa and the rest of the staff are very friendly and patient and we are grateful for all their help with Charlie.

We've used Shamrock for both boarding and training and highly recommend them for both. Charlie has come a long, long way, with a bump or two in the road, but we are forever grateful to Shamrock Ranch. Can't recommend them enough.
