Fissan Training Kennels - Farmington, Minnesota

DAYCARE: My name is Brandi and I am a cute chocolate lab! have been going to daycare here for quite some time and Mom says I always come home a happy (and tired) pup! The socializing that I get at daycare has made me into a little social butterfly!

TRAINING: Carol does such a great job with the training classes. I’ve been to two puppy classes elsewhere and I learn way more with the training here at Fissan than the other two locations. Unlike the other classes I’ve attended elsewhere, there is training happening non-stop from start to finish with the exception of a potty break half-way through! I loved it so much that my Mom has me enrolled in an upcoming intermediate class!

GROOMING: My mom is also very pleased with how well they do the nail trims, especially compared to where I used to go. My parents take me on the boat, so it’s important that my nails are groomed so I don’t scratch the seats. My mom won’t take me anywhere else for nail trims!

SUGGESTIONS:
The first suggestion that I have would be to somehow have a little daily report card for daycare so my Mom knows what I do all day. Something that has a little update on how my day was, who my favorite friend was, a photo of me, etc.

Another suggestion would be to have live video feed (so my Mom can peek in on me when she misses me). They did these things at another daycare that I tried in the past & my Mom really liked that.

Also, I’d like to mention that at one of the first daycare sessions, I came home with a scratch near my eye and my Mom was a little sad. Thankfully my hair grew back in that spot, but I wish the staff would’ve told my parents about it either via text or when I was picked up. Even though it was a pretty minor thing, I wish the staff would’ve told my Mom and explained what happened. My Dad picked me up so Mom didn’t see it until she got home from work.

Overall, the staff and everyone really is wonderful here and I always leave happy and tired! I love my human and doggie friends at Fissan!

We can't say enough good things about Fissan! We've used them for boarding and obedience classes and have been so pleased with both. The classes have been incredibly informative for us and we, both Gemma and myself, have learned a ton! We are excited to attend out next class! Boarding has been a terrific experience as well! We recently went on a family vacation and, unfortunately, we were not able to bring Gemma with us. It was reassuring knowing that she was well taken care of while we were away. An added bonus was seeing the pictures posted of her playing with the other dogs! It was like she got a little vacation as well!

My dog attends daycare about once a week at Fissan. He LOVES it, always coming home tired and happy at the end of a long play day. They always post pictures to their Facebook page featuring the dogs at daycare that day so you can see what your pup was up to and how much fun they had. The staff here are kind and knowledgeable and really encourage dog-on-dog play while keeping an eye on your pup. In the summer they have pools for dogs to galavant in and in the winter they clear the back area of any snow so the dogs can tear around their enclosed outdoor yard. Carol has really crafted a special space to nurture and train dogs while getting their zoomies out safely. I’ll always recommend FTK for daycare and boarding.

Have taken my puppy to three classes here, the head trainer is fantastic and very friendly, knowledgeable and personable; her assistants you can tell really know what they are doing too. Family friendly business, rates are good and not overpriced, great make up policy and she also offers doggie day care and boarding. Highly recommend.

We love the training classes we have taken and plan to continue on with them at Fissan. They are really knowledgeable and professional. Rosie LOVES going there to learn.

Carol is phenomenal! We had spent thousands of dollars and spend many hours before Fissan, and in 5 minutes, Carol and her team of dogs and hoomans did more than all of that money and time. Carol is the real life dog whisperer. Save you family and get trained with Fissan - you will be amazing and happy like never before. In addition, as a person with visual impairment, I felt safe and empowered by the staff and the customer service.

We boarded our dogs here for a week over Thanksgiving. We used to board them in Burnsville but since this is MUCH closer we thought we'd give it a try. We first brought them to daycare a few times to make sure things went well and that the dogs liked it and we liked it. They take pictures of our dogs and they have a little profile where you can see them, but they put a lot more on their Facebook page.

I must say that during pickup I was so so happy and impressed. While our dogs were happy to see us...it's like they didn't want to go!!! Haha we are all very happy about our experience and the owners and staff are awesome.

I cannot say enough good things about Fissan. The staff is so incredible and kind. My puppy LOVES going and will even get excited if we just drive by the parking lot! The pictures they post of daycare are also so nice to see and so cute. You can tell everyone there has a love for animals
