We absolutely LOVE Revival!! We have a rescue dog who is fearful reactive and also deaf which is QUITE the combo. The staff and trainers eased our minds as he began a 20 day - day training course. He made some SERIOUS improvements and after a few weeks became excited to be there!! We can now take him on walks without fear of crossing other people and have learned how to introduce him to strangers properly. He has had some major confidence built and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He completed his 20 day training. Now fast forward to this weekend. We had to get him boarded for the weekend and it’s been about 2 weeks since he finished training. When we arrived to Revival he began screaming with excitement. Being deaf he makes some strange sounds but this was his purest excitement sound. With that reaction to arrival it solidified what we already knew - this was his place and these are his people. During both day training and boarding you get daily updates with videos. The staff is all just so kind and treated our boy with so much love and compassion. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!! We plan to only use revival for any future training or boarding needs.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful update! It means a lot to know that your boy made such meaningful progress during his 20-day training program and is feeling more confident in the world around him. We’re especially happy to hear how excited he was to come back for boarding - that kind of welcome says so much! Our team loved working with him, and we’re glad the daily video updates helped you feel informed and reassured throughout the process. Thank you for trusting Revival with his training and care. We look forward to welcoming him back! ❤️
Auggie (4 yr terrier mix) loves to go to Revival for boarding. I think he gets really good care there.

We had our first private training session with Bennett and he was awesome!! He was so patient helping our shy doodle learn to trust him and he tailored the training to address our priorities and engaged the whole family--kids, parents and Grama! He also has a very warm, welcoming personality and really made it fun for all!!!

Thank you for sharing this! We’re so glad Bennett made your first session such a positive experience. Building trust at a dog’s pace is so important, and we love that the whole family got involved! Helping everyone feel confident and connected is a big part of the process. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Bennett, and we look forward to seeing you all continue to grow together! 🐾
We took our baby boy Pierre there for day training and we continue to take him for day care. Revival is the best and our boy LOVES it there! He enjoys all the trainers, and our first trainer, Yennifer, took such good care of him and his needs. When Pierre first got to training, he was so shy and scared. By the end of the training, he was confident and really just a happy dog. We love it here!

Rosa,
Thank you for your ongoing support at our West University location! We Adore Pierre and always love having him! He's our special boy.
Revival is excellent ! Our dog Honey has been involved with Revival since her puppy days including training, daycare, and boarding and we have always been thrilled with the experience. Honey is excited to go and we feel she is always well cared for and safe. It is nice to see her tail start to wag before we even turn onto the street! We also love the communication! Thanks Revival!

Now plays with grandchildren, more non reactive to other animals and people and is more relaxed in familiar environments. Passes right by the neighbors cats.

That’s fantastic to hear! 🐾 We’re so happy to know he’s more relaxed, less reactive, and able to enjoy time with the grandchildren again. And passing right by the neighbors’ cats is a pretty great milestone! 😄
Thank you for trusting Revival with his training and for sharing his progress. We love seeing how the right guidance and consistency can help dogs feel more confident and comfortable in everyday situations. ❤️🐶
Updating my review of Revival! We have now had our rambunctious Lab puppy with them for several months. What I love most about Revival West U is the trainer is very accessible for any questions, concerns, tips, and general guidance for an over exuberant puppy. SHOUT OUT TO MICHELLE!! Without a doubt, I can highly recommend Michelle!! And Milik is awesome, as well.
