Our puppy loves going to Sniffers and has learned a lot already, just in his first week of puppy training! It’s a great facility with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. They all really seem to enjoy what they do, and are great with the dogs. I’m so glad we found Sniffers for our puppy.

My pup and I absolutely adore Sniffers. The staff are amazing. Especially Jonathan. You can truly see the passion and love they have for the dogs. It warms my heart to see my little girl getting hugs and kisses from the team while I’m at work. When I adopted her, she was fearful of men and very nervous and insecure. The team has done such a wonderful job giving her space and working with her through her challenges. She has progressed so much in the few months she has been going to Sniffers. I love seeing her run for joy and snuggle up to all the wonderful team (both men and women) at Sniffers. Jonathan one of the main reasons we will never go anywhere else. Keep up the great work!

Another successful stay at Sniffers - my dog can't wait to go back again. We do boarding and grooming here. Staff is wonderful and knows my dog when we walk in the door and always great with feedback after a stay. Definitely recommend.

Great grooming service. I have a difficult time getting a good breed specific groom for my dog. They did a great job and my dog seemed very happy at the end.

Great place for our pup to play while we travel. Thanks for taking great care of them and running a professional kennel that is a second home for many canine companions.

I had a wonderful experience with Sniffers up until this point, so I'm extremely disappointed by the event that prompted this review. My dog has severe confinement anxiety, so when I moved to Maryland, a friend recommended that I take her to Sniffers for both daycare and grooming. That way she could attend daycare before and after grooming instead of being confined to a crate or a suite. I've discussed this at length with Sniffers' staff and reminded them of it every time I've taken her for grooming. For several months, everything went swimmingly...up until today, when their groomer overheard a conversation in which I mentioned that my dog was oddly nervous coming into daycare the last time we came, and that I'm not sure what prompted that. The groomer then unilaterally decided to shut my dog into a suite instead of sending her to daycare - all without asking me or even informing me of the change. I only found out about this because I asked, and when I got a strange answer, asked follow up questions until I got the full story. Needless to say, I'm livid. The person at the front desk was very kind but the groomer got defensive and kept making excuses, which was tremendously frustrating. My dog was extremely upset when I went to pick her up and kept trying to climb into the front seat, which she NEVER does. My friend ended up having to drive us back while I cuddled her. It's really unfortunate that this happened, because their groomer does a great job and seemed like a lovely person before she made this call. Likewise, everyone else I've interacted with at Sniffers has been awesome, and I thought I finally found the perfect solution for my dog. But I can't entrust her to a business where someone would make such a major deviation without consulting me first. I sincerely hope Sniffers learns from this experience and it never happens to anyone else. I've cancelled my daycare subscription and will be searching for a new groomer.

We've been taking our dog to Sniffers for 3 years now, both for once-a-week daycare and occasional boarding. The staff is wonderful, and the facility is much cleaner than other places I've been to. Our dog literally jumps for joy when we go there, so I know she is well cared for and happy. A shout out to Jonathan who is always welcoming, great at handling the pups and the front desk, and seems to genuinely love dogs!

In short: Sniffers is fantastic, and Laura is amazing. Highly recommend for any type of training, but especially if you need help with more complex behaviors like separation anxiety. I enrolled my dog in the board and train program to address some persistent anxiety and fear-based aggression, and both mine and my dog's quality of life are vastly improved because of it. If you are honest with Laura and Dylan about the specific behaviors of your dog, willing to listen to the them and do the work alongside them, you will be very happy with the results.Longer review:I came to Sniffers in a pretty desperate state, after several years trying to manage my dog's separation anxiety and fear-based aggression. I couldn't leave her alone, couldn't have company over, and was bleeding money taking her to daycares and boarding facilities when I couldn't be with her. I'd worked with other trainers and followed various methods, but hadn't found anything that stuck. I contacted Sniffers at the recommendation of a local daycare facility, and Laura and Dylan were very fast to respond. Within a day, Laura was on the phone with me to discuss the specifics, and within a week she scheduled a meet & greet with me.Laura understood the behaviors I was struggling with, helped me establish realistic training goals, and patiently walked me through the process and steps she takes to address them. She ensured I understood what she does, why she does it, and how to continue implementing her methods to get results that stick. Throughout the 6-week board and train period, she provided very frequent updates on my dog's progress, including many photos and videos of training lessons. She met with me multiple times during the board and train to teach me the training methods and let me see how my dog was doing.After the board and train period, Laura has been with me every step of the way. She stays in constant communication, answering every question I have and scheduling in-person lessons to address specific needs. I listened to and followed her recommendations, and as a result have been able to leave my dog alone and have company over for the first time in YEARS. Laura is very transparent throughout the process and very committed to helping you reach the training goals defined at the start.Overall, I highly recommend Sniffers for any training needs you have. If you're honest about your dog's behaviors and willing to follow their recommendations, both you and your dog will have a better quality of life.

We came to Sniffer’s based on a friend’s recommendation. Joy did a fantastic job grooming our large golden doodle who can be reactive to people and dogs. I didn’t recognize her when she came out! Adorable! It was a relief to hear that they had absolutely no problems and that she was very well behaved which I credit to Joy being able to handle her.

Our dog Biscuit has stayed at Sniffers Retreat day care and boarding and we have always had a great experience. She gets a bath after her stay at boarding which is the best part ?. We have had a good experience here and would recommend this place.

All of the workers at Sniffer's love my dog! They welcome him in like a celebrity and I know he is taken care of each time we visit. The grooming services are excellent as well.

They gave my collie back to me with dried feces caked into her fur. She usually loves people, but when I picked her up, her tail was between her legs and she couldn't get out of there fast enough. I have no idea what happened to her while she was there, but I will not be bringing her back.
