Allie’s Doggie Day Camp

This review is far overdue…
Since I got my German Shepherd I have been taking him to doggie daycare because I wanted him to run, play, and socialize. I was taking him somewhere else when I finally noticed that all they were doing was locking him in a crate and putting him on a treadmill; not the kind of life I wanted for my little guy. Even more, he never came home tired which was a clear indicator to me that he was not given the exercise and play time the previous facility promised.
I found Allie and decided to make the daycare switch. It was rough for my German Shepherd at first because he was not properly socialized, like I tried to do from the beginning. Allie worked with him every day at daycare and slowly but surely integrated him into her pack. I have noticed a marked difference in my dog. He is HAPPIER, which means everything to me. Plus it was clear to me that he was running around and enjoying himself everyday because when he comes home he can sleep for hours!
Allie really takes the time to get to know you and your dog (s). She treats every animal special and takes her time to work with them. During the day I get to see LOTS of pictures of my dog and others playing, splashing around in little pools, and napping from a day filled with doggie mischief!
I would recommend Allie to anyone; she has truly impacted our lives for the better!

My dogs came here for one day for doggie daycare. I loved seeing all the pictures on Instagram and Allie really seems to care deeply about the dogs. I definitely recommend bringing your dogs here!

Love Allie, and love her passion for dogs. My Charlie loves going to daycare, he has so much fun and always comes home exhausted lol. I’m so glad I found a great/​safe place for my baby boy.

Allie’s runs a very special business for our four legged friends. Upon the recommendation of a coworker, I reached out to Allie to enroll my 1-​year old labradoodle, Mocha, in bootcamp to increase her confidence and level of engagement in four-​legged social situations. Mocha completed a bootcamp stay with Allie and her family and came home more balanced, confident, and just as snuggly with our family. She now, enthusiastically, attends doggie day camp with Thor, Max, Romeo, (Allie’s pack leaders) to play and hang with the pack.
Allie runs an extremely tidy business, takes extreme interest in your dog, and provides consistent feedback to owners via texts and instagram to inform owners on how the little buddies are doing. Furthermore, like a camp Allie has toys, pools on hot days, and nice napping beds. It’s a home away from home, well-​managed and well-​supervised.
I can not say enough about Allie’s love for canines and passion for her business.

Allie SAVED my life! I’m not even joking. I was at the San Jose airport running on no sleep, had just driven 3 hrs from Chico only to find out that not only did I not have a dog sitter but also that Southwest wouldn’t allow me to fly with my little chiweenie. I’m not really sure how I didn’t have a breakdown at this point, I think I was kinda numb by then haha. THANK goodness I called Allie. She was the first person that came up when I looked through Unilocal and I decided to give her a call since she had good ratings. Leaving your dog is stressful! Especially when it’s your first time doing so and also when they’re really the only family you have as in my case. Allie was sooooo warm and empathetic when I called and told me to bring him right away even though she was booked for the day with appointments. This meant a lot to me. I was away for 6 days. It’s been about a week since I picked up Brodie from Allie’s and all I can say is that not only am I happy with Allie caring for my pup while I was away, but she is truly gifted at training dogs. Brodie came back way more mellow and obedient than before which has made my experience as a dog owner much more relieving. I wish I didn’t live so far away so I could leave Brodie with Allie more often! But honestly, if you can and are interested in doggy day camp, I would totally recommend Allie hands down. Thank you sooooo much Allie! Seriously, you’re the best! If I’m ever flying out of San Jose or in that area and need a dog sitter, for sure, you’re going to be the first person I call. ~Adriana

My dog actually likes coming to this camp.
Allie loves dogs and takes good care of them.
Had nothing but good experiences.

Allie’s Doggie Day Camp is a great place to take your fur baby. I took my Coonhound Missy to Allie’s house for boarding while I was out of town. Allie accommodated my needs last minute, and was very flexible when my plane was delayed and I could not pick Missy up at the original time. I was so happy to find a place where I could take my dog overnight where I knew she was cared for like one of the family. I was looking for a place to board my dog that would not be concrete floors and kennel cages. Allie’s house is set up so the dogs can run around in her backyard and socialize with each other. They sleep outside in her detached garage or inside with her family. I already booked another boarding time for my next flight out of town. This place is great and you won’t be disappointed!

Allie was a great find after going to a «regular» boarding place. My pup came home hoarse from barking all weekend. Another time he had a sore on his lip, which I think was also from barking.
Allie and her pack are great! I have a pug/​dachshund mix that is under 20 lbs. I love that he is able to be in with the big dogs and learn how to interact with them. I don’t have to worry about any aggressive behavior since Thor, her alpha dog, will put a stop to anything before it gets out of control. She will separate the small dogs if needed or handle a dog that is still learning. I also like that he is introduced to her kids and is at her home. I think he feels much more comfortable with all of the dogs outside of the warehouse setup of most kennels. Thanks Allie and pack for taking care of my little guy when I am gone!

When I think of Allie and her awesome doggie daycare facility I often have an image imprinted in my head. Please bare with me and just imagine for a minute… You look up and see big, bright, billowy, cotton-​ball clouds floating across the vast blue sky as the sun emits a grand halo of glorious light behind them. Then imagine your ears being raptured with the sound of an angelic choir singing in resonant harmony. All of a sudden a majestic chariot comes forth through a cloud, opening it up like a heavenly gate, as the Almighty Thor (Allie’s trusty Rottweiler, and daycare pack leader), pulls his Queen, Allie, the savior of all dogs who possess behavioral issues.
Yes, this is how I view Allie. She is a savior, and in many ways I think she is a godsend.
Allie has helped our cattle dog in so many ways. Before Allie, our dog had a lot of aggression problems towards strangers and destructive tendencies towards our furniture. In a nutshell, Xena owned us, and not the other way around.
Allie first taught us how to be better dog owners by giving us some guidelines on how to establish a proper social structure and hierarchy that clearly sets us as the leaders in the household. The trouble with Xena was that she thought she was the alpha, hence she did not respond to any of our commands.
Some of the things we learned is to better control some aspects such as feeding arrangements, and letting her play with toys. For example, not allowing her to demand her food when she’s hungry. It’s not up to her. We set the time; not her. And when we do feed her now, we don’t allow her to begin until we say it is ok. We basically set the bowl on the floor, have her look at us in the eyes, and then she waits until we give her a hand signal. This took a lot of practice, but it eventually worked. In terms of her toys, we also control that. The toys have to be locked up in a bin, and we only let her play with a few in the evening, then we pick them up and put them away. Her seeing this helped establish that we are in control.
This is just touching the surface with how much Allie has helped with Xena. All in all, Xena has a strong personality, and we are going to have to manage her behavior for the rest of her life. Nonetheless, she is now able to socialize with other dogs, something that she was not capable of before. She also is better when introduced to strangers. Because of Allie, Xena’s quality of life is vastly better, and for this I will always be eternally grateful to her.
She loves our dogs, and we love Allie! We love her so much, that we also take our other dog, Atari here too, and started him out since he was a puppy. Both our dogs absolutely love going to Allies. In the morning, all I have to say is «Who want’s to go to Allies’?» and my dogs become immediately ecstatic with joy!

Allie is the best! I have taken my cattle dog to several trainers to work on aggressive behavior problems but had little results. I boarded my cattle dog with Allie for a week and I cannot tell you what a difference it has made. Thor (the pack leader) showed her good behavior. Allie helped socialize our dog by introducing her to her children and to other strangers. Now she plays at dog parks, is comfortable around children and more social with strangers. Allie worked with us and «trained» us to be better dog owners. Our two dogs go here 3 times a week and have a blast. They run straight into Allie’s and don’t look back. I go to Allies for behavior issues, boarding and daycare. It is nice to know my dogs are having fun, being social and well cared for.

I’ve taken my labrador 2 – 3 times a week to Allie’s Doggie Day Camp since he was a little puppy. Now he’s a 1 ½-​year-​old amazing dog and a big part of his balanced, calm, and obedient behavior is thanks to Allie and her own dogs, who take care of the pack.
My dog loves it here so much. He can’t wait every day to get through that door, run to the backyard and play with his friends. And when I pick him up he’s equally happy to see me, go home, and sleep :) I never feel bad when I have to leave him with Allie for a few days.
I’m writing this review right after dropping him off, and I know he’s already having a great time.

My babies, Teddy and Baymax, love going to Allie’s Doggie Daycare! I don’t trust many people with my dogs but Allie’s is great! Allie and her pack are amazing. She has socialized one of my dogs and now we are going to work on my 6 month old pup. :)
Allie’s backyard is huge and clean! I appreciate that she is always honest about your dogs and what you need to work on. She always has your best interested at heart. Allie is always available over texting and responds quickly! I love seeing the dogs’ pictures uploaded on instagram daily. Best of all, her prices are reasonable. Thank you Allie for the hard work that you do! We don’t know what we would do without you!

Allie’s Doggie Day Camp is seriously the best in the business. I have daycare/​boarded at another daycare business before and I wasn’t as pleased as I am with Allie’s! I love how she runs her daycare.
I have an Aussie puppy who is full of energy (as most pups are!) and after a long day of playing and socializing with other dogs at Allie’s, she is the most tired, sleepiest, and mellow puppy I’ve seen! I absolutely love it!
Not only is she a dog trainer but she is also a pack leader. She runs her daycare with the help of her pack and her alpha dog, Thor. As oppose to dog parks, I know that I can safely socialize my pup to other dogs in her controlled environment. She has also been really helpful with giving me tips on becoming a better leader to my puppy and correcting unwanted behaviors like excessive barking, anxiety, jumping, ect.
Her backyard is where all the magic happens. It’s more beautiful looking than Santana Row and highly sanitary! It’s definitely a place that your dog will enjoy playing at all day. There’s also lots of toys that your dog can play with and sometimes a mini kiddie pool!
Overall, Allie is super awesome and understanding. She texts and responds quickly to your texts. Her place has a waitlist which tells you this place is highly popular! Give Allie’s Doggie Day Camp a try and your dog will love you for it!
Also she posts Instagram pictures during the day of your dogs, that way you can see how much fun they are having :)

I can’t say enough good things about Allie’s dog camp. My dog is well cared for in her pack and arrives home exhausted, ready to snooze the evening away. She’s very flexible with last minute boarding requests as well. Perfect for people with unpredictable work schedules.

This review is like 2 years over due! We love Allie’s place so much, that I think twice about moving away from this area! «But how long will it take me to drive to Allie in the morning?» This is how much this place means to us no joke!
I stumbled upon Allie’s doggie camp about 2 years ago. Needed someone to watch my dog for a few days… Here is the thing my Maddie is an energetic, strong rebellious dog. She needs someone who understands dogs and their behavior. I don’t trust my pets with just anyone! And all those fancy boarding facilities still have employees that know nothing about canine behavior, training, etc. Allie does! She can handle my Maddie well and for that I’m thankful to her forever and ever! Allie’s place is impeccably clean! It is thoroughly washed every morning and I know she is very detail oriented! She is very attentive to all the dogs and if there is any issue (a scratch, an ache, etc.) she will notice it and notify you! She has her own 3 dogs in the mix, which already should tell you something. The main guy is Thor and he’s the Alfa; He’s the corrective father figure, the silly uncle and the fun playmate. He literally loves his job! He plays with the youngsters and teaches them manners and corrects all the misbehaved and cuddles with his favorites. I have never met more of a balanced dog than Thor in my life. You are able to check on your pup through Instagram which Allie updates frequently throughout the day. What can I say… We love Allie’s day camp! and I know that Allie loves what she does because she give so much of herself to this and you really feel like a part of the pack! ;) Ag!.. also her kids come to play with the dogs sometimes which is also great intro for the dogs to children!

This review is way overdue. I have been going to Allie’s Doggie Day Camp since last summer. I found Allie on Unilocal one night when I needed someone to watch my 3 dogs last minute. I texted her late at night and she was extremely sweet in helping me the next morning. My dogs loved it and they always seemed to get excited when I drop them off again. With my busy schedule, I couldn’t handle 3 dogs so she reached out to her clients in helping me find them a good home, which they did =). Today I only have one, Bolt, and I have been dropping him off once a week because he had separation anxiety. He is doing great and gets along with other dogs, especially Thor! Other than being a great dog trainer, Allie’s love for dogs show through her awesome personality. I am very thankful that I found Allie’s Doggy Day Camp.
By the way… this is my first Unilocal review. I’ve never had the interest or time to post anything.

I’ve been bringing my really hyper puppy to Allie’s since I got him this past July. I have a miniature poodle who just loves coming to Allie’s for daycare. He spends his day playing and comes home in the evening totally pooped. We have also boarded him for a week with Allie and everything was great.
We took a little break from daycare during the colder rainier months but as the weather gets better, we’ll be coming for daycare more frequently. I highly recommend this daycare. Your dog will be well taken care of and will come home tired and well behaved!

I have a 7 month german shepherd named faith, and we have been going to Allie’s since she was just two months. Allie is the best, I mean really, the best. Her backyard is huuuuge, clean. like all the time clean. I really don’t know how she does it with all those dogs.
when you drop your puppy off here, you don’t feel like you’re leaving her/​him at a facility. you feel like you’re leaving your pet with a trusted friend. my little girl loves going to daycare. she plays with all her friends and gets to hang out all day in a beautiful backyard… a much better view than I get in my office. she comes home exhausted and happy every time; and a little more well behaved! also, I’ve compared prices all over San Jose. allie’s prices can’t be beat!

I found Allie on Unilocal!Every review for her has 5 stars for a reason! I probably have more separation anxiety from my puppy than he has from me, so I obsessed over finding someone who I trusted to watch him.
Allie is a total sweetheart, and she has an awesome environment for the pups so they feel like they are right at home. I saw a review that says her backyard is like «doggie Santana Row»… it’s true! Super nice, clean, safe and decorated really nice.
Now that I met her and know how awesome she is with the dogs, I can’t even think of bringing my little puppy dog anywhere else. EVER.

We sent our two boys here for the first time for boarding, but in the process, we learned a lot about our dogs that we’ve never realized before. Allie helped us understand our dogs and she taught us how to be the leader that our dogs were seeking. After spending a week at her home, our dogs came back slightly different (in a good way). I say slightly different because one can not expect Allie to change our dogs 100% unless they live with her 100% of the time. Therefore, I am amazed at how she worked with them into becoming more balanced boys within one short week.
I also appreciate that Allie is willing to help us with thorough training tips. We can just text her at any time during the day and she is there to support and walk us through everything.
Last but not least, we love her facility. It is amazingly clean and well kept. She loves all dogs and is willing to help dogs in any situation. She continues to buy new updated toys, and best of all, she has so many friends and family members (including her alpha, whom is a sweetheart) that interact with the dogs in order to help them become more confident and social.
Thank you for all you do Allie!
