Scott and the team from PAC trained our first dog in 2017. We were so delighted with how things turned out with our first experience that when we found a stray dog in December 2021 and decided to add him to our family, we reached out to Scott and Ellery to make reservations for him to attend the Board and Train Program at PAC. He just graduated two weeks ago and we see the same fantastic transformation we saw with our first.
Both are pit bull mixes and found as strays and did not appear to have any training or structure prior to their time at PAC. Scott and his team taught both dogs commands that allow us to have a full life (being with us in public and under control) with our dogs and the long term support (weekly group sessions) required for you to add the skill and confidence needed to follow through on the excellent foundation and training from PAC. Take if from the owner of two, hard headed, full spirited terrier mixes. I don't think you will be disappointed with your decision to have your dog trained at PAC.

I have been using PAC's daycare service for my dog, Eddie, for a few weeks now. I reached out to Ellery at PAC with tons of questions and she had patience and answers for every question I had. Eddie went to his evaluation, which took several days to ensure a good fit, and I appreciated the personal feedback given at every pickup. Ellery, Scott, and the PAC team are extremely attentive and care more about animal safety and health than any other provider in the area.
I love the ease of drop-off and pick-up, the option to pop onto the Webcams and see what Eddie is up to, and being able to ask Ellery and Scott questions about his behavior. Most importantly, the daycare at PAC is no-nonsense. I know that PAC staff is correcting nuisance behavior and that Eddie is in a safe place learning boundaries and healthy interaction. I opted for their unlimited package to test out Eddie's first month and I have a feeling I will be a repeat unlimited customer. Thank you, PAC staff, for being so great!

We LOVE PAC! We have used PAC for training, daycare, and boarding and couldn't be more pleased with everyone there! Ellery, Scott and the gang treat our pup like one of their own! Having a high energy bird dog, we are so lucky to have found people that have helped train our dog and treat her like family while we are away! It's more than just daycare, it's dog parties, and special treats, and just knowing your dog is loved while being away from you. The best part of the day is bringing a tired dog home from daycare! Proud to be a part of the PAC!

Caring staff, clean facility, and a great value. My dog can be very anxious around new dogs/people and did not do well at other daycares. PAC was patient and took the time to get him introduced to the facility and other dogs. Now he loves daycare and is excited when he gets there and is happy (and tired) when he leaves.

I cannot praise PAC highly enough! We did the Board & Train program for our puppy Rumour and saw an immediate difference when he got home. It makes life so much easier to now have a crate and command trained dog, especially when I'm working from home. Scott and Ellery are professional, patient, and always willing to answer our questions along the way. Rumour also loves daycare & we feel good knowing he's well taken care of while he's there!
