My dogs were there for boot camp originally. They were trained by Perry and he did a great job. My concerns were they were exhausted and had lost several pounds. I understood the exhaustion. They worked with them diligently to get them where they needed to be in the time we agreed on. We were informed on a regular basis of their progress and health. At the end of June they were boarded a week with follow up training.

No follow up info was given like before and they lost the weight they had gained. We picked up our dogs and one was sluggish and "coughing". We took him to the vet, he had kennel cough, beginnings of pneumonia, and fecal toxemia. My vet said it was due to the kennel not thoroughly being cleaned. After speaking to Nikki, the manager, she told me they would do a thorough cleaning and they had checked the dog several times a day.but I don't believe this was the case this time.

I appreciate the hard work in training my dogs and keeping them for a month, but I won't be using their services again. I've spent close to $500 and 3 wks caring for a very sick dog because of their facility not being properly maintained.

The facility and staff were great. My only hesitation to taking my pup back is the sad reality of the resorts neighbors, the humane society. The whimpers, barking and crying that came from nextdoor made my pops anxiety rise a bit. We will try it once more in the near future as his anxiety could have been from being at daycare for the first time.

They have great hours for drop off (0630) and pick up (7pm). The staff is nice. My dog seems to love it here for day care. He comes home tired in a great way.

I absolutely love Pacific Pet Resort and Specialty Dog Training. everyone there is wonderful with our babies, and I have some difficult dogs. They are patient and understanding. I left my border collie heeler mix with them for boot camp training and everything was awesome. My Corgi loves to stay and they give him so much attention. This is the only place I trust with my babies for boarding and training.

Our bullmastiff was at another place but for some reason it just didn't work out and thank goodness I found this place. Immediately took our dog here and she loves it. They take all breeds and they understand big dogs, they train them and love on them and when my dog gets home she is exhausted and she loves that place as well, staff is wonderful and they make you feel like your family and treat your dog like they're their own! So grateful to all the staff at Pacific Pet Resort! Annie loves this place!
