Shadowland Obedience & Boarding - Oskaloosa, Iowa

Easy to schedule. Communication was good. The contract left me wondering if I wanted to use this location but I have had no problems. I wish they had more times for pick up and drop off. I really liked that my dog had constant indoor outdoor access so it could go potty whenever he needed to. This was a huge plus for me and no other place offers it. Update* I continue to utilize this service and Julie has been great about trying to accommodate my short notice work schedule changes. They have always taken great care of my dog and I feel comfortable coming back again and again.

I have started obedience training with my insubordinate puppy. They are so patient with the animals and the owners. I will update this post with more info when trying is finished.

So we have graduated and I will say this class the the best idea my puppy ever had. I was trained by professionals in a very fun but learned environment. Hands on all the time, group effort and individual coaching as well. They let me know when I didn't quite have the proper training etiquette, and showed me what I needed to do to perfect it. All constructive teaching. The classes are small enough no one is left behind. The cost was very reasonable and for the handouts (homework), demonstrations and hands on training you get, well worth it. I would recommend any body who would like to see their dog be the kind of dog we all want, to take this course. There is no magic wand, you have to put in the work and continue to put in the work after the class is over. If you are willing to put forth the effort, you will succeed. Look into it, Julie and Shannon are remarkable and very knowledgeable.

We dropped off our lab, Aspen, for her first ever boarding experience and we are extremely happy with the care she received! We picked her up after a 5 day stay and I’m not sure she wanted to leave! I’m not sure what their secret it because she’s been sleeping for hours after getting home. Will definitely be taking her back!

Our dog Mischa loves boarding there,! We have never had any issues and we know that Mischa is in good hands. Thank you!

It was the 1st experience for 2 of our 3 dogs we brought in. They seemed to have been ok with their stay for the 3 days we were out of town. Everyone was very nice and a pleasure to work with. We will use them again in the future.

We absolutely loved their training classes. We just picked our dog up from boarding and are pleased. They are very flexible and great to work with. Had some last minute vacation plan changes and they responded quickly to emails and didn't mind making changes.

Our pups enjoy their time with these wonderful folks. They get daily walks and brush, and even a bath before they come home. We will definitely be returning in the future when the need arises.
