This was out first time leaving our dog while we traveled out of town and he was so well cared for and even showed some impulse control improvements upon his return! Thanks to the great staff!

My baby was treated very well at this facility. The only thing I would change is to have more input from the staff as to how she did while being boarded. If she ate well, had any diarrhea issues, etc. Just so I know what her week was …

Amazing friendly staff. Very responsive to questions and able to provide good feedback. Great for your boarding or daycare needs

The owner Mark is amazing. The staff is wonderful. My dog absolutely loves daycare. I feel good knowing I can watch him on camera and feel confident that he has a safe and fun place to stay if I go out of town.

Great place, online scheduling, payment and reminders make it easy, plus I know my puppy is being taken care of by people who take it seriously which is most important!!

Mark is fantastic and our dogs love him!

Knowing my dog is safe and as happy as she can be away from home is huge! She has boarded here a few times now and each time I pick her up she is clean, happy, and safe. They do a wonderful job with instructions for food and behavior needs …

We just finished the basic obedience class with Mark. Bailey is 2 but we both needed a refresher course. Mark is very knowledgeable and patient. He takes time to work on individual issues with every dog. Very reasonable and we would …

Tuxedos is the only place we have boarded our dog since adopting him 5 years ago. Mark and his staff are very friendly and make our dog feel very special. I love that they send me pictures throughout his stay.

My husband and I hired Mark in 2018 after getting a rambunctious puppy that was terrorizing our other dog. Mark has been phenomenal ever since. He drove over 40 minutes to help us train both of our dogs on numerous occasions. Our dogs love …

Tuxedos K9 is a wonderful place to bring your dogs. The staff is very friendly, and the daycare is very clean. The owner, Mark, is very knowledgeable about animals. I would definitely recommend this facility to everyone I meet.

This place is great. You can’t go wrong here.

They are wonderful there and my dogs love going!

Mark and his team at Tuxedo's k9 are great! They have welcomed our Kenzie into their Daycare family and I couldn't be more thrilled. I have struggled with having to leave our pup at home while at work. Tuxedo's has provided her a safe …

Our Shepard Bruno is a very spoiled baby who is used to sleeping with mommy and daddy in his king size bed. Our first time leaving him in boarding was very scary. We were assured that he would be taken care of. It took a couple days but …

We hired Mark to do one on one training with our rescue dog Amos. Amos is a two year old Havanese/Bichon mix who was 2 years old when we adopted him. He is a great dog, but was very reactive to strangers, other dogs and bicycles. He …

We loved the class and Mark! We are very interested in the intermediate level class. The class kept us on a schedule of training at home and Zonie learned so much!

They take wonderful care of her!!

We left our 3 month-old cavapoo in the extremely knowledgeable and caring hands of the staff at Tuxedo K9. Although we had Duke trained by the owner and were extremely pleased, we were uneasy about boarding... the staff immediately put our …

Mark is a fantastic, empathetic, dog-centered trainer who also trains us as owners (half the battle). I couldn't recommend his classes more. My pup loved her class there – can't wait to take more!

Mark has a way with dogs of any age and size! He gets my Jasper to do things I’d have never thought possible! We’re still working with him currently and I definitely recommend him to everyone I know! He’s a true dog whisperer!

Attended 2 of Mark's training classes. Excellent training and tips. Great interaction with all the pups regardless of their disposition.

Mark is fantastic and can see the good in every dog! Very thorough and great with the animals, highly recommend for anyone looking for a good experience for their dog!

We attended the dog obedience classes in Webster. Mark is an excellent trainer. Dogs really connected with him. Classes were well structured and informative.

Mark is so good at training and instructions for our puppy. He also loves going to school, almost as much as going to their doggy day care day to play. ☺️☺️

I'm so impressed with Mark – his connection, care and love for dogs and his experience and knowledge of training so many different kinds with such different personalities, ages and circumstances. He's very thorough in his trainings, helping…

I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my puppy. Tuxedos is THE best. Truffle loves going there for daycare! She runs through the door when we arrive and I get to watch her have fun all day with all her doggo friends on the cameras. We also use …

Mark is an excellent trainer, the facility is excellent for boarding and daycare needs as well. I would definitely use their facilities again to care for my beloved pet Leila.

We are looking forward to attending basic obedience classes!

Mark was quick to reply via emails answering any questions we had.

It was a good experience for my dog Kelly to go to Tuxedo K9 when I first brought her home from the rescue at about 7 month. She learned some fundamentals of good dog behavior and saw other dogs doing what she was doing.

Training camp at K-9 is terrific! I have been to other training camps with my other dogs and K-9 is my favorite. They do not use a "military" approach, rather they use positive reinforcement and encouragement, to which my dog responds well.

We had a lot of work to do with our rescue Phoebe and Mark gave us the tools to turn around some of her negative behavior so that we could enjoy her. We would highly recommend him to anyone that is interested in training their dog! ~…

Mark and his staff do an awesome job with the dogs. Highly recommend Tuxedo's K9.

Helped me and my dog tremendously everyone should give them a try !

Tuxedo K9 takes such good care of Eddie. When I go out of town, I feel very comfortable knowing that he loves it there because I can watch him run around and play with the other dogs via their webcam. An extra benefit...when he comes …

We were referred to K9 by the rescue shelter from where we adopted our 3.5 year old black lab. We were not told at the time of the adoption that excluding the shelter, we were the dogs 4th owner. Obviously, the poor dog had some issues. …

Tuxedo’s K9 is the only boarding or training facility I will my ‘difficult’ terrier to! Simply wonderful!

I can't say enough good things about K9 Tuxedo Training Camp and Mark the owner. We took Sprocket when she was a wee pup and got her trained. Mark has always treated her like one of her own and Sprocket loved going in. Your dog will also …

We have a happy 90 pound Shepard/Hound mix and he loves to play. This was a perfect fit for him. The employees are trained to handle all types of dogs. It’s professional and you can watch them on a webcam. Mark also trained Rocco to walk …

We started out sending our Rocco to another Doggie Day on the west side. After a few months we were told Rocco needed training because he wouldn’t stay in time out. He’s literally a 90 pound puppy and LOVES TO PLAY!!! So we decided to try …

We love daycare and boarding at Tuxedo’s! It is the best knowing that my fur babies will be so well cared for when we go out of town. We are so grateful for Mark and his team!

Took great care of my 2 Bichons for 3 days of boarding. Highly recommend!

Good supervision. Mark has knowledge & kindness for everyone’s dogs. He is helpful.

I love this facility as a daycare, the trainers here are very knowledgeable. I found that the training classes weren't for me, which isn't to say they were bad, I just prefer different methods. I had taken a dog here for their reactivity …

I loved training with my dog at Tuxedo’s! it was like date night with my dog! We had so much fun and Mark, the owner, is great. He catered the training to our specific needs. I highly suggest!

Mark and his staff are extremely attentive to the individual needs of every dog. He is passionate about what he does and this infectious enthusiasm rubs off on his staff as well. We recently boarded our elderly black lab at Tuxedo's K9 and…

Had a great experience. My dog couldn't even see another dog across the street without barking and being aggressive. However, during this class, she was up close with other dogs and was gentle and calm. I would recommend!

We have boarded our two pups at Tuxedo's several times. Our first experience was within a few weeks of moving to Rochester, when my husband's mother passed away. Tuxedo's was able to accommodate a very late-notice request and the woman who …

We had a great experience with the training class. Mark was very helpful and responded to each dog's individual needs.

We can’t say enough about Mark and Tuxedos K9....he is absolutely fabulous. He loves and cares for the dogs in his programs like they are his own. It is his heart, passion and expertise that sets him apart from the rest!

My dog comes home happy and tired after staying here. The staff is loving and will do most anything to make sure your pet is save and happy. I wouldn’t go anyplace else.

We have been using Tuxedo's K9 for over two years now. We have a 130 pound Yellow Lab who thinks he is a lap dog with plenty of energy. Mark and the team, especially Carol are always awesome with him, even when he gets the yips. I'm pretty …

Zeo has been going to Tuxedo K9 for over 2 years. The staff show their excitement when he arrives. Mark is so responsive too. Anytime I have a concern, he responds within seconds.

Friendly and patient with the dogs! A great experience all around. My dog gets so excited to go to “school”

Mark is the best dog trainer I've ever worked with. He uses positive reinforcement and real-life scenarios. He offers advanced training in different locations to really help your dog learn to listen to you in distracting environments.

A welcoming and friendly staff. They care about your pet, they are knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend their services.

A friend of mine recommended Mark. He is very knowledgeable, professional and kind.
