Gracie struggled with reactivity. We couldn't walk by bicycles, joggers, walkers, dogs, bunnies without her jumping up and barking uncontrollably. Now, we have calm walks with only the occasional dog causing her to bark, but we can redirect now which is great.

Aaron and the rest of the staff are amazing!! Aaron could tell that I was nervous dropping our dog off for the first time and for an extended period of time, and immediately acknowledged it and made me feel at ease. Our dog does not like strangers, guards his food and gets anxious in rainy weather- the staff took…

Pack AMO is the best training, daycare, and boarding experience I’ve had with my dog! For boarding and daycare, the team is so knowledgeable and intentional that my dog always comes home calm, compared with prior experiences where she came home overstimulated and bouncing off walls. The training has been a complete…

Aaron and his team are amazing! We were worried about our reactive dog with our newborn baby. We did the 6 week board and train and I cannot say enough how much it is worth it! Sure it was hard to be without our best furend for 6 weeks, but we were able to see him on the PackAMO social media almost daily! Our dog…

We are so grateful to Aaron and the team at PackAMO. Our dog Madi is a high energy Australian shepherd mix and she LOVES going to daycare. When we first adopted her we were having challenges with her and our older female dog getting along. Since sending both our girls to PackAMO their relationship has come so far. Highly recommend 💜

Aaron and his team are truly incredible. My pet is a dog that was a rescued from a puppy mill at 2 years old. To say she needed work was an understatement. We started her in daycare twice a week to get her accustomed to being around other dogs. She then did the 4-week daycare training and she has completely changed.…
