Whitaker Dog - Dog Daycare, Boarding and Training

They absolutely transformed my dog! At 6 years old, I was unsure whether it was too late to train her as she was anxious, hyperactive, and a bit bossy. After doing the 4 week board-and-train, she was like a different dog. It took a lot of follow through and commitment at home, but I couldn’t be more impressed by the Whitaker team and more proud of my girl for all she learned. Their continued support even after she came back home made such a difference, and the pick up/drop off service is a huge bonus. I couldn’t recommend enough!

I had a wonderful experience. They helped my eight month old golden retriever and she is so much better after two weeks and she is when we started. From the initial call to the final drop off everyone has been extremely professional on time and knowledgeable. Matthew made it very easy for me to feel Comfortable giving the leash over for two weeks. I am very glad that I use them and would highly recommend to anybody. Thank you too the whole team!!

I was with my sister the day Whitaker Dog Day Camp lost her dog, Kai, and it was one of the most heartbreaking and stressful experiences I’ve ever witnessed. For hours, we searched in extreme heat, completely panicked and desperate to find him. As family, Kai isn’t “just a dog” to us he’s loved like family. Watching my sister break down while not knowing if he was safe was absolutely devastating. What shocked me most was the lack of urgency and compassion shown by the staff. While we were frantically searching, it felt like they had already given up. At one point, we were even encouraged to stop looking and go home. I cannot imagine how anyone could expect us to sleep at night without knowing where our dog was or whether he was hurt. Eventually, Kai was found injured, terrified, and in need of veterinary care. Seeing him in that condition after hours alone in dangerous temperatures was heartbreaking. Mistakes can happen, but how a business responds to an emergency says everything. In our experience, there was a serious lack of accountability, urgency, and empathy during one of the most traumatic situations our family has ever faced. I would never trust them with a pet again.

Matt and the Whitaker Dog Training program have gone above and beyond to help us. As first time dog owners, we feel so at peace knowing Matt is always a phone call away. Would recommend the training program to any one of my friends and family. Also shout out to Mark in the day care - the best of the best and treats our dog like his own.

We love Whitaker!! Our dog Winnie absolutely loves going to camp and always comes home happy and exhausted. Whitaker makes our lives so much easier with busy work schedules or sometimes just wanting a regular weekend day without having to be on doggy time. We are especially grateful for Mark, who runs our pickup and drop off route. Mark takes such amazing care of our Winnie and we know she’s in trustworthy hands with him! The photos we get from camp are a bonus too!! Thank you Mark and team!!!

Great organization. Our family has four large k9s. They are spoiled and opportunists. They took my dogs in for “rehab” and Matt the dog whisperer used his magic wand to herd. They customized compassionate approaches for my four dogs and work with me with great patience. Matt (and the management) treats every living thing with mutual respects, we admire that very much. Sincerely

This team is incredible with dogs! My five month old puppy came back after training and no longer playfully bites or jumps, and knows several commands. They are kind gentle trainers who use positive reinforcement to get great results. Can’t recommend highly enough!

We’ve boarded our boxer at Whitaker a couple of times and have also done grooming and day care with them. Every time has been fantastic. Our boxer dog comes home tired, happy, and looking fresh. The staff are super friendly and I like that I’m able to check in on him via text. Highly recommend this place!

I needed my cat Mucca paws trimmed ( an emergency). They took me in right away and took care of him. Lulu was great with him. Thank you for great service.

My dog has been going to Whitaker for over a year now and he absolutely loves his days there! I also enjoy the fact that they are so flexible and the pick up/drop off makes it so much easier for us. They are so communicative and pleasant to deal with. Highly highly recommend them!
