"I  took my 1 year old Great Dane pup for an assessment for boot camp. She's a sweetie but completely out of control. The trainer was wonderful and could tell I was really struggling with her. She took her, got her a good training collar and by the time we left she was walking by her side and not pulling and going crazy. That was already a win for me! I can't wait to see how she is after a week of training.

Thanks to Astro Kennels, we know soon we will be able to enjoy our time with her and not feel so overwhelmed."

"Cannot recommend the Bootcamp training enough! We had an 8 month old 50 lb rowdy boy and they turned him around in 4 days. It was day and night. Excellent work for a fair price!"

"I won't take my dogs anywhere else. Simpsonville has indoor/outdoor kennels, dock diving, training, grooming & more. My dogs don't even say bye to me when we get inside they're at the door to go play."

“This is the best company I have ever worked with. I am recommending to all my friends and colleagues.”

"I would give 10 stars if I could!

Our GSP, Ruger, did a week long boot camp with Sandy --and WOW! We expected some results, but we picked up a different/well-mannered pup. Sandy was exactly what we needed. She worked with our whole family to help us learn and understand her program and the commands. I'm so thankful that we decided to use the time and money on professional training. It made a world of difference."

- Courtney Driggers

"We always choose Astro Kennels for when we go out of town and sometimes just to let the dogs get some energy out for the day. They are always so nice to us and our dogs. They genuinely care about them and take awesome care of our pups!" 


- Taylor Whitt

"We recently took our dog to Sandy for a training assessment. I can honestly say that I think this is the best $40 we have ever spent on anything. We left the assessment with concrete, effective techniques that immediately improved our dog's behavior. Today, I saw the same kind of dramatic improvement after our first board and train. No need to suffer through bad behaviors when the answer may be this accessible." 

- Anne Albers

"As it turns out, Astro is the only place I could find that would take my Malinois because he is not neutered. Not a big deal because after meeting them and touring the facility, it's the only place I'd board him while I'm away. The staff is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Their experience with working dogs made me feel very comfortable leaving him in their hands.​"

"Absolutely love this place! I have 3 AMSTAF Pit bulls. Bowser my 2 year old boy has severe dog aggression and in 1 assessment I have it now under control. My other 2 Pits (3 month old) enjoy doggie daycare in an effort to not end up with adult Pits with dog aggression. The best part about this spot is the swimming pool and deck. Can't leave out the agility playground .. this place covers it all including top notch boarding. Accommodating the family in one huge luxury kennel. Love it! Can't say enough great things about Astro Kennels. I absolutely recommend them to all doggie parents!​" 

- Grace Smith

"They have always taken such good care of my sweet pitbull Bama. He has come such a long way from taking obedience classes and he's gotten to socialize in doggy daycare and boarding. I love this place and would recommend it to anyone in the area!! The staff are really friendly and confident/knowledgeable in handling and safely introducing the dogs to each other. I feel safe and confident in bringing my dog here and I know they treat him like their own!!! love it!" 

- Katherine Dobbs

"I just had the most mind blowing, amazing training experience EVER. I have a Great Pyrenees that I rescued and he was terrified to get in a car or do stairs. After one session he was doing both!!! I am absolutely floored and so grateful for the wonderful trainers. Before this I had tried two and spend hundreds of dollars with no results and was so discouraged... Thank you so much! You have completely made a life-long believer out of me that the right trainer is all it takes!" 

- Amanda Krutzig

"I was skeptical at first, but the progress my pup had made in a month has been incredible. We just finished the intermediate class and did several day board and train sessions, and they've helped our dog so much. She still has work to do, but the trainers are caring and professional. I'm looking forward to working with them. We've tried training before, but their methods have given us and our dog confidence. Our dog's behavior issues were putting her in danger, and they completely turned her around. We can now go on walks confidently. Cannot recommend them enough!!"

- Danielle Marie

"Couldn't ask for a better place to take my fur baby! Purchased wonderful working dog from Astro in November 2015. I take her for doggy day care every other week or so to burn off some extra energy and she LOVES going...she can't wait to get of the car and see all staff!" -

"Doug and his team evaluated my Great Dane at their location. They were great with my dog. They taught me SO MUCH! We then had a follow up appointment at my home so they could work on some of his behaviors in his environment. It was awesome. I now feel like I have the tools to teach my dog to be a perfect gentleman in all situations. Very impressed with Astro Kennels!"
