I have not used the doggy daycare business, but can recommend Jeff Barnes as a wonderful dog trainer. I approached Jeff after spending 3 years trying to fix a behavioural problem (I tried three different dog trainers!) with limited success. I asked him, "Do you think you can fix it in a month?" He said, "I'll fix it in an hour". And what do you know, he was right. If you have ever watched the amazed looks on owners' faces when Cesar Millan (on the TV show Dog Whisperer) works his magic, you will understand my own reaction to Jeff's handiwork. He was actually trained by Cesar himself, and it shows. His techniques and results are very similar. Besides that, he's an incredibly nice guy, and though he could easily charge double - triple - his rate, he keeps his prices really modest. I have only gratitude in my heart for the great gift that he has given me: a peaceful life with my beautiful dog. Thanks Jeff!
