Bounding Hound is the absolute best training facility/daycare!! It doesn't have the atmosphere of…read moreconstant chaos like some daycares; they train the dogs to modify behavior during their stay to create a more controlled and safe environment. For example, they train the dogs to calm down after the doorbell rings when you go to pick up your dog. The dogs still get to play and have fun, but things never get out of control or too loud! My dog is always so excited to walk in when I drop her off! And while she's gone I get picture and video updates of her stay, and, sometimes, they even send her home with a goody bag. Another unique feature- someone is always there even for overnight stays (no unsupervised kenneling overnight!). BH also offers grooming. My dog used to have anxiety about being groomed from a previous bad experience. Loren had the patience to work with her and, over time, got her to the point where not only was she not afraid, but he didn't even need to use any of the usual restraints that most groomers always use. I am so grateful to have had this daycare for my dog, and I will miss them a lot now that I have to move away from IC. Once Loren heard I was moving, he even offered to help me find a new facility for my dog in our new city. He took the time to call other facilities and let me know which he thought was best. This really shows how much he cares about me and my dog even after we no longer will be regular clients for BH. BH really goes above and beyond to help your dog develop good behaviors and give them a safe and fun environment for their stays!

I cannot say enough good things about this home-away-from-home for your dog!…read moreI don't have grandkids. I have granddogs---and I love them like crazy! My son and his wife got Daisy a few months ago. She had been through a lot, and had a lot of anxiety. They adopted her at the beginning of shelter-in-place during the pandemic. This was great, because it helped Daisy to spend lots of time with her pack (and extended pack!). They are both back to work and faced a huge decision--leave her home alone (which she didn't tolerate well at all) or consider a doggy day care option. We found Bounding Hounds and I can unequivocally say that you can't find a better place for your dog. They are all incredibly knowledgeable and they care about YOUR dog. The owner, Loren, is incredible. After her second day, he spent time talking to us about how to work with her at home to reinforce some of what they have been doing with her. I am a psychologist--his recommendations were so spot on. Here is the kicker--remember, this dog is a "nervous Nellie"--when we dropped her off, as soon as they opened the gate, she SPRINTED off and never looked back! She was so happy to see us--but at the same time, tried to follow Loren back inside. The fact that she is so happy there speaks VOLUMES to me. Finding a place for your dog is like taking your child to daycare---it is so hard to do. Talk to them. These guys are incredible. You won't regret it!

I can't express enough how awesome IHA is. We scheduled our 1.5 year old grey tabby to be spayed on…read moreTuesday morning, and had her back the following morning. Safe, sound, and resting peacefully (Pictured below in her favourite spot). Note: We were able to snag someone's cancellation by calling on Monday. Otherwise, it appears appointments are a month + out as of 3/2022. Intake was amazing as staff met everyone coming in that day at the door and assisted with initial paperwork. Our kitty was just past her follow-up shot regimen for rabies and distemper, which the clinic provided at a minimal cost. Overall, our bill was just over 90$ which included nail trimming/capping (10$), shots, spaying, pain medication, overnight stay, as well as a microchipping fee (25$). This is far, far less then the range of prices we were quoted at other local animal veterinarian/hospitals. (Anywhere from 250$ to 1050$, just to *spay* alone.) Although a bit of a drive for those living in Hiawatha/Marion/North CR, the cost and level of care make it worth your time. If you choose to utilize IHA for your pet healthcare needs, please be sure to add a little extra when you pay to help keep this local non-profit going.

This was the worst grooming experience I ever had…read more Immediately upon arriving, my dog was fearful. The groomer said this was "because she has alpha energy and the dog can tell". I thought that was weird, but dogs can get nervous so I left her anyway. I came back to pick her up and the groomer doesn't even say hello to me. Immediately she complains and reprimands me because my dog had an accident in the kennel and even shows me a picture of it. I understand that's not fun to clean, but most groomers recognize it's part of the job when you work with dogs. Then she tells me my dog was one of the most difficult clients she ever had. She said she needed another person to hold her down as she forcibly groomed her.... a dog should never be forcibly groomed! Every groomer I've seen in the past said my dog was well behaved. However they always warned me that they don't groom dogs if they are too fearful to avoid making it a traumatic experience. To top things off, I asked for 1/2 inch all over and it was left at least 2 inches long and uneven. Thankfully, I went to another groomer to fix her haircut and I was reassured my dog was well behaved and had no issues. Overall bad customer service and bad grooming standards.
