Sol Dog Lodge & Training Center

Francesca was our trainer for our Cane Corso puppy when we got her. There was so much we had to learn when she was just a puppy and I can't be any happier with our decision to come here. Other trainers don't like to give tips or any information until after payment has been made. Francesca was constantly giving us new information during sessions and of course afterwards, any questions we had, or even suggestions for us to try something new/ different. They all had fantastic customer service, from Caitlyn as a groomer, to Francesca our trainer and Shelly who was always at the front desk. They all learned Nala and after all the work they taught me and made me feel confident to start doing more advanced training on my own. Nala now comes everywhere with us from grocery shopping to pumpkin patches to going out on Halloween night. She is always the best behaved dog when out and around other people and dogs. I am very grateful for this training center and everything they've taught us!

I really cannot say enough great things about Sol Dog. They offer a variety of services, and even board/train special case dogs from PACC.I discovered them back in the summer when I needed some help with one of my dogs who was reactive to other dogs. I took Mabel there for 4-days of day training, and Terra was just wonderful with her. Not only did Mabel learn and grow in just 4-days, Terra gave me very useful tips to bring home that have helped me to continue to work on Mabel's reactivity.Mabel is now able to easily interact with other dogs and attends their day camp several times a month in order to ensure she has opportunities to socialize. She always comes home exhausted from her play day, and she's getting better and better with her interaction skills!! Nicole and Anisa always find time to talk with me each time I pick up Mabel in order to let me know how she did that day. They are both wonderful with her.There is also a groomer on their site ....Becky's Pet Parlor...and I have to say that Becky is a freakin' dog whisperer. In addition to Mabel, I also have a senior Chiweenie/Jack Russell 11lb 'handful'. Bernie will NOT let anyone touch his tiny toes except for me....and it has taken me many months of just slowly and gently massaging/touching his feet for him to even tolerate me. He is a rescue so I'm not sure what is history is, but man ....stay away from the dude's feet because he goes into full on melt-down mode when it's time for a nail trim. Except ...not with Becky....he is a little gentleman for her. She began very slowly at first with another person helping hold him, and he allowed her to use a dremel for a short period of time the first day. She's done his nails several times now, and he just loves her. You will not go wrong by choosing Sol Dog ....I highly recommend them.

My experience with Rachel M. at Sol has been great. She has a calm and sure presence and patiently explains what our next hw is or asks what direction we want to go in next. I have been taking my PACC foster who had a training package paid for, once that expired i continued to pay for more time. She has guided me into helping him transform into a different dog. He has ALWAYS been happy but his fear and even excited behavior made him inadoptable and had landed him on the deadline list. Without Rachel we would probably be a ways back in his training now- here is the review that counts. Lute is a much more calm and relaxed dog but the minute he sees us en route to "school" he gets excited. By the time we turn into the long driveway he is whining excitedly and when he hops out of the car he runs to the door and SITS while wagging his tail like crazy. He loves his friends there, human and dog alike and that is a better review than i could ever give

My dog is a big, energetic nut bag that we love to death. We board her at Sol Dog because they know she's a nut and accept her and take great care of her. They know how to handle the easy going dogs as well as the ones that need a bit more attention or effort. My dog is happy when we bring her to Sol dog and happy when we pick her up. They have great advice for us to train her a bit. I will always recommend for boarding.

We have been going to SolDog for several years and can't recommend it enough. When looking for a trusted place to bring our dog, I relied on reviews and therefore hope I can help others. Rest assured, your beloved pet will be well taken care of by Rachel and the SolDog team. They truly care about all dogs and take care of them as if they were family. When I turn the corner into SolDog (or even just say the name), it's a good sign when my dog gets giddy happy and jumps around.We've been for training, day camp, and boarding. Highly recommend any of those. Day camp is not a free for all, and they respect your dog and what they can handle, what they need, and they talk with you about it. There are many options and programs that can fit your dog. Thank you SolDog!

Still the best!!! I recommend paying the evaluation fee and using this place for trading socialization or dog boarding. They are amazing. They also help rehab some dogs and work with some rescues so they have adoptable dogs that are already trained and socialized here ready for their new home

SolDog provides excellent services for boarding, board and train and training! They are very skilled and conscientous and are rescue friendly! We appreciate all that they do for our pups!

I will not board my dogs any place else. I love staff, the way they treat my 3 pups and my pups love going there. I cannot say enough about Sol Dog Lodge! This is the one place where I feel perfectly comfortable leaving them in someone's care.

Cannot say enough good things about Rachel at Sol Dog. We rescued a pug mix, Ziggy, who was terrified of pretty much everything. We set him up for a "day train" where she works with him during the day and we pick him up at night. It was less expensive than everything else we were looking at and less intimidating, while being more intensive. A few weeks later, I had her watch/play with both of my pups while I was at school all day and my boyfriend was out of town. She helped Ziggy make a 180; he is now the fantastic pup he was meant to be. Their prices are incredibly reasonable and she is so genuinely dedicated to helping dogs get better - not necessarily helping them learn how to become, specifically, a Labrador retriever (I ran into that interviewing dog trainers in town). I truly cannot day enough great things about her and recommend her/this place for everybody.Side note - I filled out an online form that they lost so I had to call back and to get ahold of them but it was 100% worth it! So if that happens to you, just call.

I am SO glad I made the decision to bring my dog here. I've taken my dog to a couple other trainers and honestly I regretted it because I feel like he got worse. My dog benji has fear and anxiety and does not know how to act around other dogs or around other people. Terra worked with benji and not only did she work with him through his anxiety but also trained me and I learned SO much. I seriously can't say enough good things about Terra. She is amazing and I love her! She truly knows what she's doing and you can tell how passionate she is about what she does. She took such good care of my baby and I'm forever grateful!
