Here's What Our Clients Are Saying!

Tamara Bratjan - Thorin

We brought our 7 month old yellow lab Thorin to Amarok Kennels for a two week Board and Train. He needed some guidance in his manners~ counter surfing, jumping on people, recall (we have a large back yard and he wouldn’t come when called), not ripping our arms out when walking him. I could go on and on. These behaviors are no longer an issue. He goes right into his crate when he’s tired at bedtime as well. I can’t say enough about Amorak Kennels. They reviewed with my husband the different things they did when he picked him up. And commands. Very easy to communicate with and very, very patient!! I tell everyone about our experience!!! Thank you again so much for working with Thorin!"

Ashleigh McGowan - Moxie

The best of the best! I recently utilized Amarok's 4-session training package for my Australian Cattle Dog to address leash reactivity and jumping on people. Tyler and Sarah were exceptional, and I noticed significant improvements very quickly. Their extensive knowledge and experience with various dog behaviors was immediately evident, and their customized training approach suited our needs perfectly. They helped simplify steps and commands, which greatly increased my confidence in managing different situations with high success. The training was very affordable and undoubtedly the one of best investments I've made. We've also used their boarding service in the past and will continue to do so in the future. 10/10 highly recommend Amarok Kennels for training and boarding."

Chloie Rood - Otis

I did the one week board and stay for my dog Otis. Otis had cat aggression to the point he could not be around cats at all without the fear he might kill them. Otis is now comfortable back home living with two cats. We are keeping up at home on his training and staying consistent with what we were taught. We were given great direction and instructions on how to continue Otis’s training at home. They updated us while he way away often & have checked in with us several times since Otis has been back home. We are eternally grateful for Otis’s time spent at Amarok training LLC. Some of the nicest people and so great at what they do!"

Maia Robenski - Lincoln

"If you’re looking for someone to help take care of your dog in any capacity I can’t recommend Amarok Kennels enough. We started working with Tyler when our 6 year old German Shepard had ran out the door and attacked a neighbors dog and had multiple instances of nipping at peoples hands, barking and in general acting aggressively. All I can say is WOW. After a few 1 on 1 in home sessions we had the tools to help him relax and become the calm sweet dog he was all along. So much so we really tested this and ended up adopting a kitten, Tyler came and supervised introductions and coached us on how to proceed, it’s been 2 weeks and he has no reaction to the kitten anymore. I feel like I get to love him so much more and enjoy my time with him now that I can understand and manage his behavior. Amarok gave me my boy back. We are excited to have them board him in a few months for a vacation we’re taking. Now that I found them, I’ll never trust my boy with anyone else."

Jean Engler - Jameson & Murphy

"This place is top notch for boarding and training. Our 2 golden retrievers spent 10 nights with Sarah and Tyler and they came home happy and with no concerns. We completely trust them with our 2 boys and recommend them to anyone seeking boarding/training. We have tried several other kennels that only caused stress on us and our dogs. Not here! They are compassionate, knowledgeable and will care for you dogs like their own. When I asked for an update on my boys, this is the response I received! So comforting to be able to trust Amarok with our dogs when we are away."

Paula Liner -Teddy & Charlie

"We brought our two golden retrievers to Amarok Kennels B&T program for help with resource guarding, food aggression, and general training. We’ve tried countless trainers in the past with no success... until we found Amarok Kennels. We couldn’t be happier with the work that Sarah and Tyler have done. They spent the time to get to know our situation and taught us ways to work with them at home and you can really tell that they are passionate about what they do and love animals. My husband and I can now have a piece of mind having our dogs around our toddler and guests. I’d recommend these guys to anyone. Thanks again Sarah and Tyler!"

Colleen Cavallo - Robin

“We could not be happier with how Amarok cared for our small dog Robin, through his 4-night stay. You’ll experience excellent communication, flexibility, and understanding of what your dog needs and what you need. Kind, gentle, expert attention in a lovely setting. We’ll be back!"

Lucy Chichester - Louie

“Louie has been home about a week and is doing FANTASTIC. Amarok Kennels did a great job breaking Louie of his skittish personality and we brought home a happy and confident pup. Louie had to work on his jumping and he’s been visited many times and is such a pleasure and polite dog. We will definitely be going back and recommending them to others looking to better themselves and their pups.”

Chris Frasier - Misha

“Amarok kennels were amazing with my two year old Dutch shepherd Misha. Her obedience and commands were very much improved after being with them for two weeks. They treated her like one of their own and sent some amazing pics of her while she was there. I highly recommend them!”

Kristen Rich - Charlie & Tucker

“We have left our two golden doodles here twice. We have loved the easy communication with drop off and pick up. They usually will send you pictures or videos while the pups are enjoying their stay. Highly recommend it. We travel an hour to drop them off and pick them up.”

Gina C. - Nico

"Nico is our 1 year Male German Shepard who was becoming hard to handle, walk , and be around all together. After receiving a two week board and train he is doing amazing now. Walking, staying in place and all commands make it so much easier to handle him. Can’t thank you enough for the time well spent."

Noel Clinton - Moses

“Came highly recommended and I was really nervous leaving my boy there. They were amazing!! Great communication and the training was worth every cent! They even drove him home for training in our home! Plan on boarding in the future. Great value, service and training!”

Bryn MacDonald - Stihl & Olivia

“After having some issues with walking my 80 lb German Shepherd on a leash and distractibility tendencies, Sarah reached out to me on Instagram and graciously offered to help. Sarah and Tyler are both very patient, calm, and collected while training. I love their positive reinforcement and client-centered approach to training. They make sure to always ask the client what they would like them to work on and always offer comprehensive feedback after sessions. They possess the knowledge and tools to effectively work with all different breeds, with special knowledge in German Shepherds. Both Sarah and Tyler are very personable and always willing to work with you and your pup without breaking the bank. I would recommend Amarok Kennels 100%!"

Noel Ames- Gracie

“Our 5 year old Rottweiler spent two weeks with Sarah & Tyler at Amarok Kennels in their Board & Train program (August 2022). We couldn't be more pleased with them and the fantastic work they did with our pup. Her ability to sit/lay and stay when company is over (and not jump), walk without pulling, and her recall skills are the best we've ever seen. Since she been home, Sarah & Tyler have checked in several times to see how she's doing. We highly recommend taking your dog to Amarok Kennels for amazing results.”

Gladys Gonzalez - Ruger

"Amarok Kennels are the best thing since slice bread, literally. We were having trouble with my Rowdy Rottweiler pup and they helped us maintain the beast!! I love their Day and Trains, they took our boy for the day and worked with him on behaviors I needed to crub as well as reinforce obedience. They also took the time to educate us and show us what they did and gave us the tools we needed to keep his focus. I recommend them to everyone I know that either has a growing puppy or a dog with behavior issues. We are so grateful to have found them, they are truly great people and appreciate everything they have done for us and our boy thus far!"
