iCare K9 Dog Boarding & DayCare

I love iCare K9 dog boarding. My 6 mo old puggle has been attending daycare here for the last 2 months. When He first started daycare he was very hyper, hard to walk on a leash and still used the bathroom in his crate. Since he’s been attending daycare he has calmed down tremendously. He gets along well with other dogs, he’s walking better on the leash and he hasn’t used the bathroom in his crate in the last few weeks. He also loves this place. He dances every morning when I drop him off. He’s grown fond of the staff and he enjoys playing with the other dogs. The hours are also a plus for me. The late hours allow me to run errands after work without me worrying about leaving my pup alone. I would definitely recommend this place for daycare and/​or boarding.

I had just gotten a puppy when I had a family emergency and had to leave the country with the whole family and had a hard time finding a place to broad my puppy bc she hadn’t got her rabies vaccination yet. Icare k9 was able to broad her and did a great job. The staff is very friendly and professional. I have since used them for training as well and classes are very helpful. Would really recommend Icare K9

I was looking for a dog boarding during a one week home renovation and iCare k9 had good Unilocal reviews.
The first 4 times I called them, the receptionist put me on hold for a long period of time (10+ min) before she hung up…
So finally I could get in touch with them and took my dog. Once they found out I found them trough Unilocal,they turned super nice (ehem ehem fishing for Unilocal reviews).
When I picked her up, I noticed there were several cuts/​bruises all over her face (mouth, nose, etc) and it looked like she had been bleeding for quite a while. When I asked about it their response was «oh yeah, we saw that, it’s no big deal, sometimes when dogs are in a new environment and are under stress, they hit the door and walls with their head and this happens».
All those cuts and bruises happened, and for almost a week they just ignored it and they never bothered to contact me or my vet during (They had multiple phone numbers, as well as an emergency contact info, and my vet’s contact info). It amazes me that cuts were so bad that if they had happened when the dog was in my possession and I hadn’t taken her to a vet, I could have gotten arrested for animal cruelty, but a dog boarding business can easily get away with it!

These guys are professionals and scrolling through the years of reviews — there is only one negative review. Not bad.

This is a response to Mr. Morris.
I think you should have got your facts straight before responding to my review. My Yorkie will be 7 months on ⁵⁄₁₂. This was her first time being at Icare. So you saying she has been there several times. WRONG. When we dropped her off, nobody went over, what was in her bag AT ALL. She is still a puppy and plays all the time with her toys. If she did have access to food and water, like you said, then she would have not drunk 2 bowls of water. First of all know which dog you are responding about, because you don’t. I called to check on cookie and always got the political correct response, and not one time did they say, she was nervous. I understand this is your business. But somebody drop the ball, when it came to my dog. This was a first and last time at your Boarding & Daycare. What gets me you don’t even know, who you are talking about, this is a joke. Several time LOL. She was only there once and maybe you need to reevaluate your procedure. Something bad could have happen to my dog. Don’t start me on that walked 4 to 6 times. How would you know, when you dont even know my dog. Now I understand why you don’t have web access.

Phenomenal staff and facility! No matter the size/​age/​type, Morris and his team will coach both you and your furry companion to communicate. How is Morris able to yield obedience with such ease and calm, you ask? He’s a dog whisperer.
What if you’re not interested in training? The facility is clean, comfortable, and fun for any companion, big or small.

Let me start by first saying wow, how clean this place is! Any place that smells like bleach when you first walk in is a great place for me (of course as long as the dogs don’t get a hold of the bottles!!) When we first walked in we were introduced to Amanda, Morris and our primary trainer Paige and they connected right away with our (at the time 4 month old) goldendoodle Oliver. We attended 3 private and 4 group lessons which resulted in Oliver passing level 1 obedience (yay Oliver!!)
After reading all of the great reviews on here about Morris, the head trainer and owner of IcareK9, we were hoping to have him as our trainer; however we were more than pleasantly surprised with our trainer Paige. Paiges’ commitment to Oliver and her knowledge was amazing. She even went as far as to email us articles regarding the training process with Oliver. Paige was very prompt in her communication and even provided us with her cell number in case we ever needed anything. We plan to enroll Oliver in level 2 obedience class asap! In the mean time Oliver attends doggy daycare at least once a week. Daycare is very reasonably priced and is in fact worth every penny. The trainers let the dogs play with other dogs similar to their size and temperament, are always alert to their needs and take them on 15 minutes walks throughout the day! Oliver comes home exhausted and we love it!
It is very obvious the commitment Morris, Amanda and their team has to the well being and safety of the dogs in their center. I have absolutely no complaints to say about this place and plan to continue to use them for as long as possible. At this point it may seem like I am rambling but I honestly can’t speak more highly of Icarek9 and its staff. GO THERE NOW!!!

Morris and his staff are the BEST. I first took my dog for training and it was very good. I brought my dog in as a hyper crazy dog and she finished being more obedient and knowing commands. Now I just started bringing her for daycare. It’s WONDERFUL. she is clearly out of a crate most of the day and playing with other puppies because she’s EXHAUSTED at the end of the day. The staff are so nice and friendly. They upload pictures to Facebook and communicate with you. I feel so comfortable knowing my dog is at daycare here and in great hands.

been there for training. staff is wonderful and vary knowledgeable about training. My out of control Siberian Husky Chloe is well behaved since attending classes. Ive also had her stay there over night. when picking her up just one day later she acted like she just wanted to stay with her friends and not go home. Highly recommend iCare K9 dog boarding and daycare.

iCare K9 has been a godsend for us. We have done training classes, doggie daycare, and boarding here and have nothing but good things to say about them. Our very stubborn and vocal rescued terrier mix, Phoebe was a new dog after basic obedience classes. She no longer drags me down the street on our walks and is now a joy to live with. As we’re driving to drop her off at daycare she begins to get so excited right before the turn onto Oakmont because she knows she gets to have a day of fun and socialization with the wonderful staff and the other pups. Her reaction alone tells me that she is very happy coming here. The prices are not only reasonable but a steal considering the great services they provide. I can’t imagine bringing Phoebe anywhere else.

I adopted a 13 week old Plott Hound/​Boxer mix puppy, Hunter in June 2015. Having grown up around dogs my entire life and even raising/​training a few on my own, I thought this would be no different. By the time he turned 7 months, I knew I was in over my head and was almost at the point of tears because of the tension at home involving Hunter. Hunter knew basic commands, but he was so energetic, hyper, had a mind of his own and didn’t obey commands. I starting looking into training for us and got a few suggestions of places to try. It was my first time going to obedience training, I wanted to make sure it was the best solution for both of us. After researching for a week, I came across iCare K9 on Unilocal.I read all their reviews (on Unilocal,Google, and Facebook). I saw a review from someone I knew who used them and had great results, so I decided to give iCare K9 a call. I spoke with the owner, Morris and he gave me all the different options of classes and what he thought would be best for us.
We started basic obedience group class the following week in September with Amanda. Amanda is very personable, patient, knowledgeable, and answered all of my many questions. After graduating basic obedience we went straight in to intermediate obedience and he started going to day school once a week to release some of his energy. By the time he graduated intermediate obedience class, he was a totally different dog and the tension in the house was gone. He is so loving, gentle, and listens/​behaves much better now. We will be continuing with club class soon.
I am so thankful for Amanda, Morris and the rest of the iCare K9 team for everything! I recommend them to anyone looking for training or daycare.

Came in to do a tour, wasn’t impressed, rude staff only person who was nice was the guy who showed us around. Dogs were all in cages barking constantly. They say they are out all day playing but didn’t seem that way. Other works made it feel like it was an inconvenience to them to tell me about the facility and what a day there consists of. Wasn’t warm or friendly towards my dog at all. Just very rude. Only good thing I can say about this place was it was very clean

What a wonderful experience!!! I HAD a dog that was out of control… I felt very uneasy about talking her for walks. With Morris help, I have A dog that no longer acts crazy and is not dragging me on the leash. I would definitely use there services again! Thank you Morris

Last year we found IcareK9 and we have been happy so far. We took our 3 yrs old pit mix to do a evaluation, because she was really aggressive around other dogs. Morris and Anne Marie were really prompt to help us. Less than a month training he corrected Georgia’s behavior, she still doesn’t like other dogs but she won’t go crazy when she sees one.
We always leave her and our new addiction King (puppy) with them for day care or boarding.
They love IcareK9!!! The staff are great!!! I leave them around 6:30am and the girls are ready to take them in.
Advice if you have a reactive dog and do not know what to do take your dog there I guarantee Morris and Amanda will do a good job

Where do I begin? I adopted a 10 week old border collie/​lab mix named Pax in May. Of course, he turned out to be quite the crazy little thing! He’s very smart, so learning new things is not difficult, but he was very bitey, hard to focus, and just all over the place. I had originally been told he’d top off at 45lbs, but he’s not 7 months old and already over 65lbs! I boarded him first in june for an entire week. Not only did he get lots of play time and walks, but they uploaded pictures! And I got to call and see how he’d been getting on. When I dropped him off they showed me where he’d be staying and I noticed all the dogs had clean kennels and fresh water. When I picked him up, I was happy to find that they went ahead and groomed him, too! Fast forward another month, I had told myself I could train him by myself — I’d had dogs before, why would I need a trainer? WELL I was wrong. I ended up going away for another week and decided to splurge and opt for boarding + training. What I got back was almost a different dog! He was SO focused! It was like they polished off all the rough edges and he came home well versed in obedience. I was then convinced that training was the way to go and enrolled him in a group class as soon as I could. Amanda was not only helpful during class, but outside of class she answered every email/​message I sent and was very flexible if I missed a class. Amanda was not only knowledgeable and personable, but super patient with the dogs and very clear when explaining how to do things. Both her and Morris certainly have a way with dogs and I have recommended them to anyone and everyone looking for a trainer and/​or day care. The art on the wall is great, too ;)

Our Molly, a Havanese rescue, was terrified of strangers, other dogs, and of being left alone for even a few minutes. I took her to obedience classes, hoping she would become more comfortable around other people and dogs, but I spent the first few classes with Molly cowering in my lap or under my chair. Amanda Havenner is a wonderful, patient and sensitive trainer who encouraged me to keep bringing Molly to class, and little by little, she coaxed Molly along, helping her to feel safe. Amanda supported and encouraged me, even when progress seemed impossible.
Today, after just a few months, Molly is a happy, friendly dog, comfortable with people and other dogs. She has finished intermediate training and now we attend agility class just because she loves to go to I Care K9. She knows that as soon as I reach for her special treats, we are going to class, and she gets so excited I can barely get her leash attached. She can’t get to the car fast enough!
Morris Lindsey and Amanda have been wonderful. There are really no words. They knew exactly how to deal with Molly’s problems and helped me learn how to relate better. The facility is beautiful, clean, cheerful and a joy to visit. The classes are small, very well run, and never boring. We are always busy, never just standing and waiting for the trainer’s attention.
I will bring Molly and any other dogs I may have in the future to I Care K9. They are the best!

When we came in for our first training session with our newly adopted 5 year old pitbull, who was on his 3^rd family, my wife could barely control him. In three one-​hour sessions my wife is able to walk him, sit him, and put him on a spot and have him stay until she tells him it’s ok to leave. What a turn around. Morris has a great knowledge and gave us some of that knowledge to not only train our current dog but knowledge that will transfer onto all of our future dogs, too. Thank you, Morris.

I am so grateful for this wonderful facility and the awesome people who work there! I needed to board my dog overnight after driving across country from California. My dog was already anxious from all the travel, in addition to being her normal anxious self. Jasmine a a German shepherd. She’s a little neurotic and high maintenance at times. Everyone there was so wonderful and understanding! I would recommended them to anyone! They were great with her!

We are so happy we discovered iCare! Our 5 month old pup, Bailey, had gone through some group classes at PetSmart, but we were unsatisfied with the results. We decided to sign up for 3 private lessons with Amanda. We thought three lessons would be too little to see any changes. However, we saw significant improvement right after the first lesson! Amanda gave us great tips, was patient with us, and answered all of our questions. One of the things we love about iCare is that they tailor their training to each dog’s personality, quirks, and behaviors. Bailey is now so much more receptive of our commands and walks without any pulling. We are about to go on a short trip and decided to sign Bailey up for iCare’s Board & Train. We can’t wait to see how much more she learns while we are away and look forward to attending more iCare trainings in the future!

My family adopted a 10 month old Boxer. He came with no leash skills and terrible manners; he would jump on us and nibble on hands just to name a few.
We contacted iCareK9 and set-​up private lessons with Morris. The man is amazing; within 10 minutes he had Ares’ number and shared with us how to start communicating effectively with our dog. We left the first class knowing how to work with Ares so he wouldn’t jump. He also had us walking correctly on the leach. My shoulder is so thankful; walks are now pleasant instead of thinking my shoulder will be pulled out of the socket. We finished our three private lessons and we now have a relaxed dog who knows what we except from him. We will continue with additional basic training and move up to advanced.
I also want to mention the kindness and excellent customer service we received from the folks at iCareK9. They are correctly named; you can tell they really care about animals. Really, stop reading the reviews and contact iCareK9! Your dog will thank you for it.
