What Reviews Say

136 reviews analyzed

River City K9 is highly regarded for its exceptionally clean, modern facility and successful 'board and train' programs that many owners describe as life-changing. While the vast majority of clients praise the attentive staff and spacious indoor/outdoor runs, there are a few outlier reviews containing serious allegations regarding trainer misconduct and medical neglect. Overall, it is a popular choice for high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Malinois, with customers frequently citing tired, happy dogs upon pickup.
