We had just brought home our Malinois puppy and were looking for a trainer with breed experience. John has been amazing, I don't know if we would have survived the maligator puppy year if we weren't working with him? We started with a group basic obedience class, added private lessons (so worth it) and also did some day training too. Now go to day school once a week to socialize her with other dogs.
She is so excited to go inside when we get there, the best part? She comes home exhausted! They organize doggy events and holiday parties and take great photos too! All of the staff members that we've encountered have been great too. We've have also boarded her as well. I have not seen any of the issues that other reviewers have written about, our experience has been positive. It is true, they are a bit more expensive than some of their competitors for boarding but most places do charge extra for walks and play. We will continue to send our pup to Molly's and train with John.

Horrible Place! RUN! They lie through their teeth and charge you for things you did not ask for. Run by a low class family with no training excelt for John. My dog still has a scar over his eye from day school. Also, there are ZERO people there on the weekend! I would NEVER board my dog here. You never know what may heppen when they are left alone for most of the weekend. Do not believe their lies! What a potential death trap for your dog. BEWARE

Great place for boarding as well as dog baths and grooming. I have a 97lb German sheperd and he always comes back so clean and happy.

I am grateful to Molly's for taking care of my cat during vacation. I love that they provide everything he needs while there (food, litter, etc.). I think one improvement would be to provide a little more detail upon pick-up about how the stay was, but they will communicate if any issues arise. Lastly, I would add that they are extremely flexible and considerate when it comes to the dates of the stay which make vacation-planning easier and less-stressful. Thanks for all you do!

Beware! I left my dog in their care for 5 days. When I got him home and took his collar off he had an open sore, oozing pus. The vet's diagnosis was acute dermatitis and they prescribed 4 meds: cefpodoxine, ketoconazole, prednisone and animax. I contacted the kennel they said they would investigate and get back to me. I sent pictures and my vet info. I never heard from them. I even paid for a bath on his last day, so either he never got it or they saw the injury, put his collar back and tied a bandana around his neck.
