CLIENT EXPERIENCES
What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
"At the evaluation, I could barely get her through the door — she was barking nonstop. After two weeks in Olympia's board-and-train program, the transformation has been incredible. Tessie is more confident, more balanced, and able to safely exist in situations that were once impossible. I've known about Olympia Kennels for over 40 years. We will absolutely be back."
Melissa Talbot · Board & Train
"We had a German Shepherd sized hole in our lives that was filled by the new addition from Olympia Kennels. Very knowledgeable, professional, and communicative — they made the process very seamless."

Deborah Leigh · Breeding & Training
★★★★★
"My pup is so excited every time we pull in the driveway! It's an extra bonus that they are professional dog trainers — I'd give 10 stars if able!"
