We love Sit, Stay, Play! Honey our golden retriever loves going to daycare. Zac is such a good dog trainer. We also had puppy training classes and he is positive, patient and calm. We know our honey is in good hands with Zac. She has gone to doggy daycare, done training classes and we have also boarded her while away on a trip. They are truly the best in Lexington. Even sent us photos of our pup having a blast!

Before we used Sit, Stay, Play for doggie daycare and boarding, we used them for training our puppy Chester and I can only say positive things. Zac is an excellent trainer and it is obvious that he loves what he does. We recently started using Sit, Stay, Play for doggie daycare/boarding and have not regretted it. Chester loves going to see Zac and his crew and comes home exhausted. We went out of the country this year and used Sit, Stay, Play for boarding Chester, who was 10 months old at the time. We were sent pictures of Chester having a good time which put my mind at ease. I know when he is at Sit, Stay, Play that he is being taken care of as if he were one of their own dogs.
