Back in the Pack

"We have used Back in the Pack since our pup, Sassy, was 11 weeks old (she is now 12). There is no one we trust more, for her care, than Dari. She has always been treated as on of their "pack, and becomes part of their home. On top of excellent care during boarding, Sassy always comes back to us so well behaved. The routine and consistency Dari provides goes above and beyond. We love the pictures and updates, while we are away! I would give Back in the Pack 10 stars if I could!" - Kim M, Client

"The owner, Dari, has become part of our family! She is very knowledgeable, provides sound guidance and I think she may even speak dog! She is exceptional at what she does and also loves our dogs just like they were her own. We love working with Dari and you will too!" - Carm B., Client

"Dari (the owner) is WONDERFUL! Our dogs love her! We have used Back in the Pack for dog training and for boarding. HIGHLY recommend! She treats your dogs like they are a part of her family. She has a wonderful space and knows how to handle any breed! She even plays John Mayer for my dogs when we come (that's the music I play for them when I leave the house - ha!). She probably exercises my dogs more than I do. :) She sends me regular updates when we are gone and she goes above and beyond to keep our dogs comfortable." - Holly S., Client

"We absolutely LOVE Dari! She has been amazing with our girl Lacey from day one. Lacey and ourselves have built a great connection with her. She shows us as dog owners/parents how to handle Lacey properly and we have seen Lacey become such a well rounded dog in just six weeks. Training with her has just been fun and she is so helpful with any and all question that you may have. She is also so easily accessible if you have questions outside of your training session, she was always a text or call away. I would always text her when Lacey had made a massive stride in her training. We have already talked about booking more training sessions with her once it warms up a bit and we are excited to join her pack walks. She’s seriously the best and has changed both Lacey and ourselves as owners in the best way possible!"- Katie G., Client

I wish I could give Back in the Pack ten stars! Dari has done an amazing job providing me and my husband with the guidance and support needed to train our rescue pup. When we adopted Sadie, she had all the bad habits...pulling, reactive, barking and lunging at any animal while on leash. Dari was able to come for an evaluation and not only got to know us and assess our needs, but immediately provided suggestions that were successful. We had six sessions in our own neighborhood and Dari taught us how to anticipate and direct Sadie. Afterwards, we attended group sessions that helped hone our skills, while acclimating Sadie to positive interactions with other dogs. We have used different trainers and techniques with our last dog--none of them can complete with Back in the Pack. This weekend, we successfully introduced Sadie to my parents' dog...and rather than fighting, they are relaxed and playing with each other. Truly, this is completely due to Dari's expert knowledge!" - Daisy S., Client
