All Around Hound Dog Services

I know my dog can be a lot to handle, and the folks at All Around Hound treated him so well! Thanks for such a great groom and for treating my boy so kindly.

We love everything about this place! We have had such positive experiences with the trainer, groomer, daycare and boarding. Our pup Nala loves going and we are confident she is very well taken care of. I have recommended this place to many people!

We took our dog to all around hound for training when it was the previous owners. We live out in Stony Plain and have since taken our English Mastiff Luna to Lady and the Tramp daycare and boarding in Stony Plain, it’s close, clean, and an amazing facility with amazing owner/staff. We wanted to get out of town and they were fully booked so we tried the new All Around Hound….

I have never been so disappointed and disheartened about how my dog was treated. We did a daycare day to make sure she was comfortable. She came home dirty (urine on her legs. Luna has never sat in urine or peed on herself). I got a tour and it was dark and dingy. It smelt so strongly of stale urine I could barely breathe. The entrance also smelt strongly of stale urine as you go inside. The owner Kelsey made the excuse that it was deep cleaning day and that is why it was bringing out the urine smell. This all should have been a red flag but Kelsey made it seem like it is not normally like this and Luna did seem to be happy there at the time. We left her there from Thursday to Tuesday morning. When my partner picked her up he said Luna was limping a bit but figured she was coming off some fun play. He gets off work at 7am so he pick her up and came home to nap. When he woke up she was still limping and looked her over. Her paws had burns from hot concrete or fiction. And between her toes and the pad of her foot was all red and swollen. We immediately took her to the veterinarian where she was diagnosed with friction burns and dermatitis. Luna was prescribed steroids and antibiotics. The veterinarian told us that Luna’s diagnosis was at least a day old but not more then a few days. Which is the time period Luna stayed at the All Around Hound. The Vet said the dermatitis was likely caused by dirty wet floors. When we contacted all around hound they said they would look into the issue and get back to us but said no one noticed any limping (clearly they are not very attentive). They then got back to us and said they are not taking any responsibility and after asking for videos of her stay, a few days later they finally sent us 4 videos each about 15-20 seconds long of her stay, saying she was not limping at all. In the videos she might not be limping hard but she is walking gingerly. I can’t imagine the videos they didn’t send us. I do take responsibility for leaving her at such a dirty facility and being gullible to Kelsey’s excuses. I should have listened to my gut. I do want to mention that some of the staff were very nice and I hope they can bring their dog training careers to a cleaner facility. I cannot express how much I recommend taking your loved pets somewhere else for boarding/daycare. I recommend Lady and the Tramp in Stony Plain or Second Pup on the south side of Edmonton.

Staff is absolutely amazing. My dog loves coming here and is always well taken care of. Everyone is so understanding and helpful. Highly recommend!

Our dog has been attending All Around Hound for both daycare and boarding for about 3 years and he also completed some training with them. I 100% trust the staff with the care of our dog. He is always happy to arrive and is greeted with love each and every time. The staff are amazing and I’m pretty sure our dog loves one of their trainers more me (which hurts a little)

Sam and the team at All Around Hound are the best in the business. Sam has worked with our very difficult behavioral pup for almost about 2 years now. Her dedication, patience and knowledge is unmatched, and the success our dog has seen with her is beyond our expectations every single time. I recommend All Around Hound every chance I get. Someone I recently recommended went and absolutely adored the staff. Sam provides such guidance, support and also does it all while loving what she does. If you are looking for the best place for your dog, it's here.

Sam is a highly educated professional who's kind and ethical and you and your dog will be in good hands with her!

My dog did the puppy training classes with Sam who was phenomenal! I was extremely impressed with how knowledgeable she is about dog behaviour and how fast she was able to turn my puppy into a well behaved little boy. The groomer here was phenomenal at introducing my dog to grooming slowly so that he would have a positive experience, and she was very quick! I would highly recommend the daycare to anyone, especially if your dog has lots of energy! You also get to see super cute pics of your pup on facebook which I love. It was strange at first to hand my dog over to strangers, but you can tell that the staff adore the dogs so much and they really love what they do and as an extra bonus they are certified force free with AFFA so all my worries were comforted. If I could give this place 10 stars I would, thank you to all the staff at All Around Hound!

I cannot say enough good things about All Around Hound. Our puppies, Bruno and Carlos are always so excited to go to daycare. All of the staff, trainers and owner are absolutely amazing! I highly recommend All Around Hound.

I cannot say enough good things about all around hound! Their training programs were really helpful with my dog Denzel and it’s clear that the staff love the dogs and care about their work.

My dog Harlie loves going here. She loves all of the staff, especially Paige. We get a report card everyday she visits letting us know how her day was and who she played with. My wife and I have crazy schedules, so they are very accommodating to last minute drop offs or a last minute cancelation. Fantastic hrs and I believe they're open 7 days a week now. They also offer other services like amazing training and grooming. I would definitely recommend All Around Hound if you're looking for a daycare for your fur baby!

All Around Hound is the best daycare I have ever taken my dog too! My dog tends to get some anxiety when being in busy places but Kelsey (the owner) took him and eased him in to the situation and made sure he was settling in well on his first day! I love the staff and you can really tell they all care about each dog! Their trainer Sam is also phenomenal at what she does! I really can’t say anything but good things! My dog loves it there and I won’t take him anywhere else:)

Our flyball team practices out of this facility. All their staff is warm and caring. They also keep the facilty so clean!

I brought my rescue, Phoebe, here for the 4 day training program. If I could give All Around Hound 10 stars I would. At about 9 months, Phoebe hadn’t been socialized well with people nor dogs and she had some behaviour issues starting. I was honestly quite worried about her future. I believe that Sam (trainer) and other staff members truly gave Phoebe the best chance at a bright future that we could have hoped for. Sam prioritized her time with Phoebe on the things that were most important to getting her on the right track. And wow, what a difference it made! While Phoebe isn’t perfect, she has learned that people and dogs can be fun! The positive training techniques used by Sam and the other staff at this facility are the best. I will highly recommend this trainer and facility (and already have). They love dogs and it shows. ️ Thank you All Around Hound from the bottom of our hearts!

We cannot say enough about the staff at AAH. They are so wonderful and our pup LOVES going to daycare! We also did the puppy day training with Sam and it was such a great experience. She was very personable, knowledgeable and left us with so many valuable and effective takeaways. She was also quick to include our kids in the training during our one-on-one session. It was awesome:). We are looking forward to the next round! Thanks for all you do, AAH!

We got our puppy early 2021 and are so happy we decided to use All Around Hound! For not only our daycare and boarding needs but also for the amazing training. The head trainer Sam was incredibly knowledgeable and never seemed to tire from our many questions! She was also very friendly and her sense of humour was the icing on the cake. 5 stars, highly recommended All Around Hound for all your pups needs!

All around hound worked with my large Shepard cross mutt, Dude Budd, for a week straight. Wow, what a difference. We went from not being able to go to the off leash parks due to reactivity to being able to go on the regular. They built the foundation for his training which allowed us to continue to help him grow when he got home.

Kirsten has been grooming my dog for a couple years now and always does a great job! Always treats her like she's her own dog and I trust her to let me know if her ears or anything need checking by a vet. She has a lot of great experience. I would recommend her to anyone looking for grooming services and is able to make the drive out!

Kat and that other ladies (sorry I am bad with names!) that taught our group training helped us train our stubborn Daniff puppy to stop pulling on his leash, and teach us methods to help get him interested in learning new commands! Our puppy will definitely miss going there as he adored Kat. We liked their methods of teaching him respect and teaching us how to better communicate with him and use various techniques to train him. Much appreciated:)

So satisfied with the results we had with our 1 year old Aussie. The team at All Around Hound catered to our needs and wants when training our pup. After just 7 days she is much calmer and more respectful. They guided us through the training and show you everything they did to continue on with the training at home. We are so grateful for the help! We will be continuing with daycare and boarding when needed at this wonderful Facility!

Best place to train, board, daycare and grooming for you dog. All the staff are great. Do take your dog here, I highly recommend it.

I brought my girl Bailey to All Around Hound in September and it was such an amazing experience. Bailey was demonstrating some real issues with impulse control (and patience) to the point where if she got too excited/upset/frustrated (or told no) she would re-direct her energy towards me and it ended with her bruising up both my arms with her mouthing/nipping/biting. I was getting extremely upset as I had no idea how to handle her, or how to help her learn to be better. I was scared to have her around other people, and animals because I wasn't sure if she would be on good behavior, or if something would trigger her bad behavior.

I heard about All Around Hound, and their Day Training, and after speaking with Katt about my issues with Bailey we did the Hot Diggity Dog program. Bailey was taught so many new things to help her, but even better was that I was as well. We were given so much advice and recommendations on what to do at home so that we could continue Bailey's training. Bailey is still constantly learning, but the difference in her behavior has truly been outstanding. Every day I notice improvements. I have a different dog now. Its also great to know that we have Katt and the All Around Hound team ready to help us with any issues Bailey and I may face in our training moving forward.

Bailey now loves to visit everyone at All Around Hound Daycare!

Katherine and the team at All Around Hound are truly gifted at their craft! I've tried many different facilities to help train my American Staffordshire Terrier with severe separation anxiety without much progress, until I brought him here through a friend's recommendation. More importantly, my boy LOVES coming here to see the ladies, so I know he's not only learning and getting better but he's truly enjoying the time spent there. They've taught me so much about how to work with him and be a better dog dad too - things we previously couldn't do such as walks and interaction with other dogs are now possible and enjoyable. I can't thank you enough! Keep doing what you're doing you're all amazing.

I came across this wonderful facility through a client referral. I had just got a American bulldog/pitty mix as a rescue and him being a pup I needed some guidance with proper training. I took him for the daycare assessment and he did great! He loved playing with the other dogs and was so tuckered out that day when I brought him home. I decided to enroll my dog with Katt for Her “Hot Diggity Dog” training program. Now i looked into alot of trainers before hand as I am not into willy nilly type training, I want structured with protocol type learning. Well this program is exactly what i was looking for and all the staff are really awesome at what they do! So impressed! I will continue with training programs with Katt hands down.:)

I can’t say enough good things about All Around Hound! My dog and I have been through Let’s Get Started, Packed In, and had the privilege of doing some one on one training with both Katt and Jenn. We have learned so much and have had a blast doing it!
These ladies do it all for the dogs, and are so passionate about helping us humans have the best relationship we can with them. My dogs life was likely saved because of All Around Hound. She was removed from the care of her previous owner as an extremely scared and reactive dog who had lived the majority of its life in a car, and because of this, likely going to be euthanized. Thankfully AAH stepped up to take her in, foster her, and teach her that the world isn’t such a terrible place.
Dealing with All Around Hound hasn’t just been a great experience, it’s changed my life.

This place has been such a blessing for us! Daycare is an awesome outlet for our dog, but she can be sensitive and a "free for all" would be terrible for her.so she can't go to just any day care! The play is managed so well and the daycare staff know how to read dogs and really handle everything so well! We can confidently send our young sensitive girl here.

We decided to try the training option as well and that was even better than expected! The results were unreal and the custom training videos to watch later at home were so helpful. We're so lucky we found this facility and are extremely happy with AAH.

The best training in town! I have tried many different trainers for my 2.5 year old boxer, and All Around Hounds was exponentially more effective. After only 7 days, my dog is calmer, more respectful, listening to my commands, and much less aggressive with other dogs. It's been so beneficial that I've had friends ask if I got a new dog! I would highly recommend All Around Hounds to anyone and everyone.

This place has been amazing for my dog. We were at our wits end with her behavioural issues (she is a rescue with a lot of anxiety and reactivity issues). She did the 7 day stay and train at All Around Hound and she is SO MUCH BETTER. Always an ongoing process with training but I was amazed at how much they accomplished with her in the 7 days! I will always use them now for boarding when we are away and they even offer extra training during boarding!
So glad we found this place for our little Andi

We are astonished at the transformation in our "baby" over the past week. Everyone has been amazing. The attention to both our needs, and Clara's has been more than we ever expected. She is happier, we are happier, and we know we have the support to continue in the right direction. I can't say enough about everyone involved in training- thank you.

My pup Tucker is a year and a half old heeler/pointer mix who is a very high energy, excited, smart dog, that had been having a lot of issues with impulse control. I had read about All Around Hound and decided to look into their day training programs. Katherine called me right away and after discussing Tucker's habits and my concerns we decided on a program best for his needs. The entire team is awesome and you can tell how knowledgable they are and how much they genuinely care for each animal they train and have in their daycare. After the training sessions and follow up session, there were definitely noticeable changes, as well as a lot of tools to work with to further improve Tucker’s main issues. I am way more confident with him in the areas he needed help with and that is exactly what I was looking for. Katherine and her team are always available to help which is greatly appreciated. Tucker is continuing to go to their VIP daycare with training and I’m excited to see how he continues to progress. Thank you All Around Hound!

I had my dog in the hot diggity dog training to help with her fear and insecurities she has towards strangers. I have seen a lot of improvement since her training. Very kind and knowledgeable trainer's at a lovely facility

We had a great experience with All Around Hound. We registered George for a 4 day board and train session as well as a few days of VIP boarding and the results have been outstanding. George has issues with his excitability levels and Katt gave us the tools necessary to control his level of excitement. The facility is clean and quiet (which is amazing when there are so many dogs in one place). We especially appreciated the time Katt spent with us after we picked George up. She dedicated two hours to show us some video clips of George in training and then walk us through everything he learned to ensure we could recreate the results at home. We are looking forward to our next session with the team next week. I definitely recommend All Around Hound to anyone looking for a fantastic doggie daycare/boarding facility.

When I first reached out to AAH, Katherine gave me a call to discuss the problems we were experiencing with our pup. She was able to recommend a training program that would work with some of our pups key issues, while re-assuring me that the issues were, in fact, solvable (despite how frustrated we were getting with them).

After only a couple days we noticed changes in how our pup was behaving at home. Her jumping and barking at visitors seemed to have disappeared! Katherine and her team (Jenn, Mandie, all of them!) were so kind and patient with our pup, and were super thorough in explaining the cues they taught Nova. They were also very patient in explaining how we (well.me) should react when she didn't respond as expected, and what we needed to do to set our pup up for success.

Since the team at AAH has worked with Nova, her leash aggression, jumping and barking has vastly improved. I feel confident in her training, and the icing on the cake is knowing that the AAH team is available for support whenever we need it!

10/10, we recommend AAH!

All Around Hounds was recommended to me by someone who had taken one of the programs. Bailey, my puppy, was enrolled in the their all day program for five days. From the first all day session there was a noticeable change in Bailey. Each day it became obvious that Katherine, Jenn, Mandy and Alex had invested time and energy into Bailey. I was probably the hardest person to “unteach” bad habit.
Bailey’s training was amazing and everyone has noticed the difference.

Thank you everyone at All Around Hounds.

Katherine is AMAZING! We had Katherine and her team come over yesterday for our dog who doesnt like to greet guests well. From the moment they entered the door we knew we were in good hands. They left us with a lot of training tips which we plan to follow over the upcoming weeks and hope for his aggressive behaviour to change. Katherine was very friendly and accessible via texts which is extremely helpful as well! Thank you guys again for coming over and instilling some confidence in us with Kobe. Be in touch soon!

This daycare has very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have there own dogs as well. The staff creates very safe environment for all breeds.
