I love this spot to wash and groom my dog myself. It's located on the frontage road behind the strip businesses off 1-90-near the Buick? Dealership- Clean space with all the tools needed for a happy and clean K-9. I speak as a guardian to a Chow Chow with an extremely heavy double coat. He requires care and coiffuring on a regular basis. The elevated tubs and adjustable pro grooming table are important to maintain a healthy back, 'phew' All shampoos, conditioners, eye and ear wash, brushes towels and blower are provided for your use as well.
They even have an apron Tom prevent you from becoming soaked, lol The staff is friendly and helpful even though they are busy helping other clients, the customer service is rated at 10 or of 10. I was told no reservations were needed: was able to walk in. Course if the room is occupied, you could consider Formula Brewing next door &'in front of Jax Dog for a beer and a slice of pizza while you relax and wait. The prices is charged per hour and I found more than reasonable despite taking almost 2 hours. Plenty of parking I'll keep coming back. Thanks Jax

We had very good experiences with Jax until a few weeks ago, when our dog came out of daycare unable to walk straight and seeming completely disoriented. We were told this had been going on since 2:30, but no one called us, and I did not find out until 5:45 when I picked him up, which was too late to take him to our regular vet and required me to take him to the emergency room. The vet concluded that he had ingested something toxic while at daycare.
When brought to the attention of Jax, they completely shut us down, told us that nothing could possibly have happened, and refused our request for reimbursement. There was absolutely no empathy or accountability, and they only appeared eager to shield themselves from liability. A very disappointing end to what had been a good relationship. Please use care if considering them as a daycare option.

This is a review of the training camp. I had an anxious, 11 month old Aussie that I took there for training because he came from an abusive home when I adopted him. They assessed his behavior, knew his entire background and promised me they could help. Long story short. shortly after he finished the program he became increasingly aggressive and ended biting on several occasions. When I got a proper behaviorist involved, we requested the full notes from the trainers there and uncovered that he was abused with the "e-collar training" at this facility that caused him major additional trauma and caused this anxiety and aggression to escalate.
I was never told about any of this while he was training with Riverdog. They told me he was doing great. Most of the abuse came from a specific trainer at Riverdog. Please do not take any dog with traumatic history to this facility. They do not have the proper techniques to manage this type of case. Furthermore, I am devastated by the fact that I was lied to by these people. Steer clear of Riverdog and find a place that uses positive reinforcement training methods for your developing dog.

We took our sweet, yet stubborn 7 month old puppy to the 3-week training camp. I looked for places all over Seattle and the east side trying to find a place that would teach my dog in a sustainable and effective way, using positive techniques we approved of. I cannot expressed how great this team was. They took the time to get to know our puppy, her likes, and dislikes, and really catered training to her and our needs.
Everything from asking the commands we use at home so they can make sure to reinforce them in the classroom, to teaching us new ones, as well as learning to adapt to what works best for our who dog is a picky eater. Aka she won't train with cheese, but meatballs do the trick. Our puppy loved going to camp. And we loved the results. She now knows how to greet people without jumping, waits when instructed, and listens to us when called.
I highly recommend! Great staff! They answered all of our questions. And you can tell that they really care about the dogs! They even provide follow up refresher trainings throughout the doggos lifetime!
