Howliday Inn Pet Resort, Rogersville MO

We recently left our German Shepherd, Charlie, with Brandon at Howliday Inn Pet Resort in Rogersville for a 10 day stay and train session. Absolutely satisfied with the work Brandon did. Charlie was a different mannered dog when we picked him up. Very good on the leash, calmed down around other pets, and calmed down around visitors at the house. We will definitely be back for another session with Brandon.

The crew here is amazing! My dog loves it so much she forgets about me the minute we walk in. She’s ready to play and be taken to her happy place. I’ve left her for daycare, overnight/weekend stays, and they even offer to bathe her before they send her home. Great service and attitudes. Fair prices. Thank you Summer and Rick and staff for all that you do for us.

Brandon is an excellent trainer! We have boarded at Howliday Inn Pet Resort for many years. It makes me happy to drive up to the front door and my dogs be excited to be there. In addition to an excellent boarding facility, we have had an great experience training. Our fur babies can be somewhat of a handful and Brandon helped us get them under control, mannerful, and excellent leash skills. Whether you are looking for training and/or boarding, I highly recommend Brandon and his team at Howliday Inn Pet Resort.

Brandon does a fantastic job training my Australian Shepherd “Whiskey”. When I got him back he was so calm. I live over a hour away and he came to my farm to follow up with me on my training he answered all my questions. I’m looking forward to more training in the future.

Employees go above and beyond to help. Daniel was great caring for our dog and eased our mind while we were on vacation.

Howliday Inn came highly recommended when we needed to board our puppy over vacation. She was well cared for and played hard with the daycare crew. I love that they offer grooming before pickup, so she came home smelling fresh and clean. Plus, she was beat! We're currently taking the puppy class and are already seeing great progress after the first session, which was a simple Q and A.

Our dogs go here every week for doggy daycare as well as boarding while we are out of town. We have 2 pitbulls and a chocolate lab. We recently purchased a new home and our neighbor has an aggressive dog that he doesn't seem to have much control over. My female pit (5 yr old) has been lunging at the fence and darting out the door past us to attack the neighbor dog through the fence. Mind you this is the same dog that plays in the pack weekly at Howliday so I just couldn't figure out what was going on with her and why I had no control over her in this situation. Brandon suggested E collar training. Brandon and Summer came to our home and taught us all the do's and don't of the collar and when to say the words followed with the slight tap of the button (correction) to get her attention. It took less than 3 times of correction and I cannot believe the difference in her. After the backyard/fence was under control we brought our girl out front WITH NO LEASH, I was hesitant but Brandon said, just trust him so we did. He told me which tone of voice to use with her. Summer walked her dog past the front of the house where my dog stood beside me with no leash or fence between us and I used the firm voice he showed me and my dog didn't even try to go out after the dog Summer was walking. I didn't have to even correct her, I just used the firm tone. Summer walked the dog all the way up into our personal space on the porch. My dog didn't react- I finally have control over my pitbull which means so much to us. Brandon loaned us the collar and gave us the option to purchase should we need to use it for our lab (he has some bad habits also). I am just so amazed and happy that I can trust my dog again. Brandon - You're the dog whisperer. Thank You for taking the time to help us. I can always count on you guys, Thank You, Thank You

I just got to say my dogs love this place, they are absolutely excited to go to daycare every morning and completely worn out at the end of the day, the staff there are the friendliest and most caring that I have come across and I would not trust my fur-babies anywhere else!

The staff are kind and welcoming.
They all do very fine work; never disappointed. Best to make an appointment, but they easily handle walk ins.

Good morning, Brandon:

At the end of April 2023’ we left our Silver Lab with you for two weeks while we were on vacation. We were very anxious to see Shadow and hoped for the best knowing that he is difficult and three other trainers failed to help us.

Shadow is really changing for the positive. Mary took him for a nice long walk this morning and commented on the improvement since yesterday! Now he sleeps all night long, what a game changer that allows us to sleep all night as well. He no longer jumps on us while we are sitting on the couch, it makes life more peaceful.

Mary is gone right now, and a few minutes ago a friend of mine came over and Shadow charged the door. I backed him up with my legs like you showed us yesterday, and then I told him to stay. It took three stay commands before he obeyed…but he did obey. My friend knows Shadow and said he was very impressed. He has two Golden Doodles that he wants trained, and I highly recommended you and your team.

Thanks again for your skills in training Shadow, it has made a huge difference in our home, and has changed Shadow into the obedient and loving dog we hoped for.

Best Regards,
Mike

We left our dog there while we went on a family vacation. He was happy, healthy. We came back and picked him up and he had a ruptured bladder, had to have emergency surgery. Nobody could tell us what exactly happened. And that they only have a camera outdoors. They offered and did cover all costs without any pushback. But our pets will never be staying here again. We almost lost our dog. It’s been super stressful. I would be very careful leaving your dog there. Horrible experience.

Started bringing my airedale here as a pup. They've been very patient with him this past year and taught him such good manners. Reese loves it here and can hardly contain himself when he realizes where we're going!

Brandon is absolutely the best trainer you can find in the Ozark area. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Brandon has had great communication throughout the training process and looks out for our dogs best interests. His quick tips and tricks provided for homework completely changed the game for our pups on evening walks. From pulling and unruly, to walking by my side with a loose leash and calm demeanor, I can tell that we will be utilizing him, as well as the great staff at Howliday Inn, for years to come.

I would highly recommend Howliday for training. Brandon came out to our house and helped us with our golden retriever and chocolate lab. It was nice to have a personal training session.

Summer is absolutely amazing!
She did a call on her own time to help my pup after issues switching homes. The advice that she gave and help we received have quickly worked wonders!
Wonderful person, great business, and a true professional.

I just picked up my French Bulldog, Frankie, after a month long board & train.

Before I dropped Frankie off, the phone call with Brandon helped me feel at ease. He listened to what I needed, and was completely on-point with how to handle the issues of Frankie's aggressive behaviors. Frankie was running my house. I couldn't have other dogs around Frankie and the kicker was when Frankie started attacking my elderly Chihuahua at dinner time. The resource guarding had everyone in the house on edge. It was either correct the behavior or re-home him. I certainly didn't want to lose my little fluff nugget!

During training, I received videos of Frankie running, playing and eating with SO MANY DOGS! I was amazed that was really my dog. It made my heart smile to know that I made the right choice for Frankie.

When I picked Frankie up, Brandon thoroughly explained the why's behind Frankie's behavior and the changes that I needed to make at home. Plenty of time for questions and concerns. I wasn't rushed at all, and felt very comfortable bringing Frankie back to my house and my elderly Chihuahua. We already have a home visit scheduled to help Frankie (and me) become the best we can be for a peaceful and loving existence with each other as well as other people and dogs.

I have zero hesitations when it comes to recommending Brandon and his team. He knows his stuff!

I can’t thank Brandon and his team enough. My foster dog was out of control. She was not good on a leash, reacting negatively to other dogs growling and barking, not listening to commands basically she was in control of the house. Since she’s been through their training program she is an entire dog, she’s well mannered and listens. She does well on a leash and is starting to become more social. I have cried tears of joy since getting her back and seeing all the progress she’s made!

Before she couldn’t be in a room with other dogs and now she’s running and interacting with them! She is getting closer to getting ready to be adopted! I am so grateful!

We have a one in a half yr old Golden Retriever, Gracie. Her behavior was out of control, she was controlling us. Our veterinarian recommended Brandon at Howliday Inn Pet resort. We took her to meet Brandon, he recommended we leave her with him for a month. I had my doubts that he could correct her behavior, barking all the time, growling, jumping, aggressiveness and several other behavioral issues. We had to put out her outside or in her kennel whenever anyone came into the house. She was exhausting. We decided to leave her with Brandon for the month. My husband picked her up the 10th of Feb. Brandon is amazing! She is a totally different dog. Her behavior is beyond our expectations. It was well worth the money. Brandon will also, continue to help us with training in our home. There are not enough words to Thank him for what he has done for Gracie and us. We highly recommend Brandon and his staff.

I have two dogs, both have been through their puppy classes and are absolutely wonderful and safe grandchild dogs. The dogs Murphy and Gizmo get excited when we pull in for dog daycare. It's a treat for them and they really sleep well the night following.:)
Strongly recommend Brandon, Summer and the staff.

What a wonderful experience! Boarded my dog here for 11 nights and she was very well taken care of. The staff are extremely dedicated, responsible, and trustworthy. I would bring my dog here anytime. They are the best in the business in this area. I would give more than five stars if I could! Check them out on Facebook and TikTok!
