Vicki is amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. We were inexperienced puppy owners struggling to figure out how to train our ‘little’ Moose. Vicki worked with our puppy for several weeks and it definitely helped tremendously. When he returned home, walking was no longer a struggle…no more pulling, making our walks much more enjoyable for all of us. He rarely jumps up when meeting people anymore. He will wait at the door for me to say okay before he steps out, even if I’ve walked several feet to the truck. He no longer barks at us when we’re at the dinner table, most of the time he just settles and let’s us eat in peace. His recall (‘come’) and barking at other dogs/people is still a work-in-progress (he’s a stubborn one), but improving.

Vicki also helped US be better puppy parents. After the ‘board and training’ was done, she gave us plenty of ideas, tools and materials taking time to make sure we knew how to use them.

We have also used her boarding and grooming services a few times. She takes great care of our furbaby and he loves going there never hesitant to get out to see her or enter the kennel facility, which is always clean, comfortable, and organized.

It is hard to find someone with whom you feel 100% safe and comfortable leaving your dog. We DO with Vicki and her team. We would definitely recommend all the services she has to offer!!!

In an area where Dobermans are not a popular breed? I was concerned about finding the right trainer. Thankfully I was recommended here. Vicky did an amazing job with our very rambunctious 6 month old Doberman puppy. Highly recommend!

We rescued Liberty about a year ago and have had a difficult time training her at home (along with our 5 year old son) so we decided to do some professional training.
When looking at options, we were very interested in the 2 week program that Vicki offered but worried about our rescue pup who is very sensitive and has had a difficult/stressful time when taken to another boarder in the area for just a few days.
Vicki did a great job with Liberty, being aware of her stress, and keeping her calm and comfortable. Liberty was able to learn her new commands and Vicki trained us on how to continue to reinforce those commands at home.
We are pleased with the 2 week training that Vicki did, and now have a great place to take Liberty for any boarding needs.

We love mountain view kennels, our pups are always excited to go and seem happy when we pick them up. Friendly staff and clean environment.

My two trouble makers needed some obedience training, I guess we spoiled them too much as puppies. So off to summer camp they went. Such a change, they pay attention now, they look up at us waiting for instructions, no more jumping, walk without dragging me down the road, much calmer puppies, if anyone knows Catahoulas… they are stubborn… Vicky got through to them and taught them well. We are looking forward to having happy obedient boys . Thanks to Vicky for all her work, it shows on how well the boys behave now.

I've used My. View Kennel for both boarding and training of several of my dogs and I highly recommend Vicki.
She has done an excellent job not only when she works with the dogs, but more importantly when teaching me how to continue working with my dogs on my own after going home.
Vicki has always been very honest and up front about what to expect, and has always delivered on my hopes. Even when the dog starts out difficult she will find a way that works!

After moving to Idaho from out of state, my 5-year-old Pyrenees rescue developed some very bad behaviors that got out of hand and we needed to involve the help of a professional. After asking around, Vicki was recommended to me by three different people so I did not hesitate to reach out to her. She was very responsive and got us on her schedule sooner than I thought even possible. After just a few weeks with Vicki, we are seeing great improvements with our dog. We had multiple issues that needed addressed at the same time and Vicki set a clear plan of action for us to follow. There were times when we struggled and had questions, and Vicki made herself available each and every time to help us.
