Jonah's Ark Doggie Playcare & Training
12 years ago
Thank-you Saro and Yoko for caring so much for the well being of Scout. Your advice, your obedience classes, and the playcare that you have afforded have all contributed to a lovely, well behaved, and fun friend in Scout. We will continue to seek your expertise to have her grow into a wonderful adult dog.

I started at Jonah's Ark with my boy Ricky in Saro's basic obedience class as we were starting to have issues with Ricky (small dog) around larger dogs. Through the class as well as weekly visits to playcare I am happy to say that Ricky has not had any incidents with larger dogs in about 4 months and even plays with some now and again! This is thanks to Saro who helped me keep Ricky from becoming a mighty terror! We also attended his basic agility course and oh boy did Ricky have fun! His non treat based methods are something i never thought would work with my boy but it has made all the difference and Ricky does as I ask without food in my pockets now! THANK YOU SARO AND THE JONAHS ARK TEAM!

We started with Jonah's Ark training classes for our puppy, Jack, in early 2012. We enjoyed the atmosphere, other dogs, and Saro so much that we started doing Playcare there twice a week. It feels like Jack has an extended family there. He gets so excited when he knows we are going there and yet by the end of the day is thrilled to see us. He doesn't come home with bad habits and is tuckered out. Saro's advice is invaluable. He always has time to help us "figure out" what we are doing (or not doing) to cause a certain behaviour and how we might be able to change it for the better. Yuko has an extensive selection of food and is extremely knowledgeable. She has been integral in helping us develop a diet for our growing puppy as he becomes an adolescent. All of our puppy/dog needs (aside from the Vet) are met with one stop at Jonah's Ark with good quality and selection!

My 21 month old Golden Doodle, Aable, has been attending Jonah's Ark Playcare since August 2012. Before that we had tried other daycares but none compared to Jonah's Ark! Here the dogs are well cared for and loved by two amazing and knowledgeable husband and wife. I feel comfortable knowing that my baby is being well taken care of when he spends the day playing with other dogs. We also did the first training course which not only taught me commands but also taught me about being an educated dog owner! I recommend this daycare to everyone who has a dog!

Jonah's has been our choice of training and daycare for 4 years.We have always been very impressed with the care of our dogs and the agility and hiking lessons. Our dogs Leah and Gus love going to Jonah's. We continue to recommend Jonahs Michael Huot

My pups have been attending Jonah's Ark Daycare for the past 8 years. We have attended Saro's obedience and agility classes, as well as his weekend hikes. I have watched Saro grow and become an even better trainer and dog handler over the years and we have all benefited from our experiences with him. Saro and Yoko are dedicated and committed people who love dogs and provide a great service on the North Shore - thank you both so much! Mandy, John, Casey and Dexi

I have two young, high-energy Duck Tollers. One came to us as a 9-month old quasi-rescue with some baggage. The other an 8-week old frisky, fun-loving puppy. Both my Tollers have attended Jonah's Ark Beyond Basic Obedience and both attend their large Playcare facility three days a week for no other reason that it allows them to play, wrestle and socialize with other dogs under the watchful eye of Saro Boghozian and his wife Yoko. I have learned how to keep great control of my dogs at home in a calm and "assertive" way. There is now some sanity in my house which was sadly lacking when both dogs arrived at the same time last year. As a bonus, I've also learned how to feed and why to feed the dogs a healthy and holistic diet. Both Saro and Yoko have a genuine interest in all the dogs in their care and never make anyone feel they're intruding on their time when you need to speak to them about a situation that may have arisen with your dog and you need some advice.

I have been taking my dog Tattoo to Jonah's since he came home with me. Twice a week for daycare and for obedience lessons as well. He seems happy and looks forward to going to play with his buddies each week! Saro and his wife Yoko are very knowledgeable and you can feel they offer the best of care.
