| You won't regret leaving your dog(s) with Isabelle at Nightdrifter Kennels - They have so much fun they won't even want to come home!; Even though it's a 2 and a half hour drive for me - I wouldn't leave them anywhere else - they do more than sit in kennels all day - they get to have FUN and exercise with other dogs as well as the basics. Isabelle is a caring, responsible and knowledgable dog owner and trainer. Let your dogs experience a vacation with her next time you need to leave them."

| When we went away, leaving our dogs behind was one of the hardest things for us, until we found Isabelle and Nightdrifter Kennel
Obedience & Boarding Center.
When leaving any of our dogs at Nightdrifter, I have NO fears/worries. I know my animals are treated with the best care, and very similar to the way they are treated at home with us. This allows me to enjoy my vacation, and know my dogs are in a safe, fun and caring enviroment. Knowing they are happy too. I also feel great knowing the dogs are handled and spoken too with the same training techniques as we use. This is because I have attended some of Isabelle’s obedience sessions, and taught my other dogs using the same techniques. Thank you Isabelle & Jason for creating this enviroment for them and us when we are away. Jacob & Lacey Fisher Amherst, Nova Scotia Timberwood Farms & Woodview Kennels, |

The Kennel has provided special care when my Sammies were in need - especially my 13&1/2 year old Christopher who had difficulties getting up without help and needed special attention when walking. The younger two - Tally and Chivas loved the doggie doors....free access to the runs without having to beg a doorman to open up. Small with the comforts of home and with alot of individual care and attention works for us. Joann Dnistransky Amherst, Nova scotia |
| " We are very grateful to have met Isabelle and Jason. We no longer "board" our dog, we now send her to doggie camp. Isabelle and Jason treat Kaylee like one of their own dogs and she often does not want to come home. We know she will be well-treated and have a lot of fun and exercise. They have truly been a blessing to us."

| I think your website is great. I would like to say that I recommend your obedience classes to everyone I know that has a dog!
Our 2 boxers we took to your classes - remember trying to get Kramer to down? LOL,~ ~ and we are so thankful that our Mya actually listens to us and obey's our commands. You are an amazing trainer and truly love all the dogs that attend your classes and they sense that for sure!! We have not had to board our baby yet but for sure you would be the place we would send her. Way to go and keep up the great work! Kim & Bob Henwood Springhill, N.S. |
| I am definitely a frequent shopper at Isabelle’s pet supply shop! One thing I really like is that she stocks sizes for both big and little dogs. My new favorite product (as I have many) is the Dog Lunchbox. I use them daily at home as a raised feeder but I recently went away for the weekend with Piper. Piper is known for opening zippers and sticking her head in duffle bags looking for her kibble and treats. She’s been successful on more than one occasion! This trip, I packed her lunchbox with food, water, treats and bones. I had my bags out in the open at the hotel room and Piper’s things safe in her lunchbox. It was very convenient. One more thing I love about Isabelle’s Shop is if she doesn’t have it in stock, she will do her best to find it and bring it in for you. Thanks Isi!!

| Isabelle, Thank you for taking great care of our beloved Border Collie Maggie during our recent trip; she is a very “high energy” dog, and it was clear she was exercised regularly. Although her stay at your kennel this time was the longest at sixteen days, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing Maggie was being looked after in the same professional way she was on her four previous stays with you. I have no problems whatsoever with recommending your kennel to anyone who asks me where we board Maggie when we travel.
Sincerely, John and Crystal Springhill, NS April 2007 |

| Dear Isabelle
Catrina and I just wanted to send you a special THANK YOU for sharing your expertise with us the other day when we picked up Timber. We are amazed at your talents and gift of being a Dog Whisperer! I have to say that both Trina and I have had the BEST EVER walks with Timber since your mentoring and teaching. It is like a whole new special relationship has blossomed...We will continue with your suggestions. Catrina compared Timber's behaviour after leaving the kennel in the west, and after leaving your Kennel. He was much calmer, more content and Happy after spending time with you. Thank you for that! Wishing you a very happy New Year and please know that you are OUR Kennel for future bookings for Timber! We are so glad that we've found you! Dr. Catherine Aquino-Russell, PhD Catrina Russell Amherst, Nova Scotia |

| We were very apprehensive the first time we left our beautiful Border Collie pup, Maggie, at Nightdrifter Kennels while we vacationed. Seeing Maggie’s fine condition upon our return from that first experience totally eliminated any concerns we had. Maggie’s condition following the next four stays at your kennel, including the long sixteen day stay, were all very, very successful. When the time came to board our new male Border Collie pup, Ruckus, along with Maggie, our only concern was how Ruckus would handle being away from us for the first time. Upon our return, it was immediately evident by his demeanor that Ruckus enjoyed his first stay as he looked great, as did Maggie. When it came time for another stay for them, it was as simple as dropping them off, and picking them up.
We feel very fortunate to have initially chosen your kennels when we had a boarding requirement, and we would recommend you to our friends and acquaintances without hesitation. Your new kennels will only add to the quality of the dog’s boarding experience. Thank you for doing such a great job with our beloved dogs!!! Sincerely, John and Crystal, N. S. - March 2008 |
