Sydney reviewed A Paw Above Professional Pet Grooming & Boarding LLC — 5 star·
This is by far the best boarding around. She has the biggest indoor kennels I've ever seen short of a high-end pet resort. The friendly atmosphere makes humans and dogs comfortable. The owner is a great, retired Vet Tech and that makes me feel more comfortable leaving my fur children in her hands. If you don't think you'll like it take a look, she'll show you around, worried about special needs dogs or medications, DON'T. She will give any and all medications no worries. I just can't say enough about this place.
" Michelle is a fantastic person to bring your puppies and dogs to. Besides running a great kennel where your extended family is well taken care of in a loving environment. She performs Reiki on the animals. What is Reiki you wonder? Well, it's a healing technique specially trained practitioners can perform on animals and people. Through the use of the sense of touch the practitioner channels energy into the body and heals things that are wrong with them. So, you're probably thinking phooey at this point. Well, consider that we are all made up of energy. Have you ever had a bad day or been in a bad mood and your spirits were instantly turned around because you heard a great song or had a great conversation with someone. Sure, you have; It's a lot like that. But with a touch...Michelle uses whatever it is she does (I don't understand it much) and fixes the moods and emotional problems dogs have. So...my testimonial- Kairo my 7-month-old Belgian Malinois. She had a bad attitude because of some possible abuse before we got her and some teasing from my 6-year-old son. So in her frustration, she began to lash out at my kids. Nipping and growling at them. I was on the verge of giving her away to anyone because it was causing so much anxiety in the house. When a friend recommended Michelle and her Reiki. After several sessions, I can see a great improvement in Kairo. The nipping has all but stopped and the barking has been reduced to this kind of hyper sounding noise like if she was having some anxiety but in better control of it. I am certain with continued Reiki that she could conquer her fears and anxiety. This is a wonderful service that Michelle offers and highly recommend it and her! " David, IA
