Sorry to post a 2 star because I liked the people at Landheim when we dropped them off and met them and felt pretty good about leaving our 2 dogs with them. It was our first time boarding with them. When we called to check on them, we were told they were not eating much or coming out of the crates and just basically laying around. The reason I am leaving 2 stars is because when we picked them up, my 1 yr old rottie had a raspy cough, the girl said it was because she pulled her, and it probably choked her.
If it continues to give her some honey. I believe she knew that this was going on already. The next day it got worse and she wouldn't even move or eat and my other rottie was started to do the same thing. We took them to the Vet only to find out they have "canine infectious respiratory disease complex", otherwise known as kennel cough. $420.00 later with meds my babies are finally starting to feel better. My vet told us if I had known where you were boarding them I would of told you not to.

We love all the girls at Landheim that look after our dog Lucy and our cat Murray. Can't tell you how nice it is to have a boarding place that accepts both pets. They're extremely reasonable and work quickly to check your pets in so you can make your flight. We're looking forward to trying the training for Lucy next. Thanks Landheim!

Every thing was going good until the forth visit, the head trainer feels you didn't do EXACTLY what he felt you should have done, then he embarrasses you in front of the whole class and he has them laughing at you. He should have pulled me off to the side or waited until class was over to make his comment of correction.

My dog and I had a positive, bonding experience and they gave me all the tools to train her well. We finished the 8 weeks of basic obedience training and my shelter dog is even better for it.
