What I like is that all dogs go through a compatibility test. This, in my opinion, makes me feel that my dog will be around other dogs that have a great demeanor and that it's in the safest enviornment. My dog is just 2 years old, but has been going to Free Spirit since he was just a little pup. I feel his attendance here has proven to make him a better dog and a total joy for our family. He gets so excited when we ask him if he wants to go visit Miss. Kristy (the owner). He knows he's going to have fun and can't wait to get in the car. He even knows when we get to the parking lot (s-curve entrance) and gets even more excited. Whether it's for just a few hours a week or every day all day, Free Spirit is best in class and a place you can feel good about leaving your best furry friend!! Two thumbs up! 10 stars all the way!!

However, today we go and pick up our Lab and she has a cut on her side. When we asked what happened we were told "no idea. Maybe she ran into a cabinet or table but we will check the footage from the groomers office and let you know." The manager calls me and OF COURSE the cameras are down. The manager then tells me that maybe the groomer clipped her when shaving her..... she wasn't shaved! She only had a bath! Do not take your dogs here. Such bad service and my poor dog had to pay the price.

The Dog Waggin gave my dog a full evaluation and even offered to help me out for two weeks as I was not able to take the dog home right away.

The staff dealt with my million questions and many phone call to see how she was doing. :) very knowledgeable and I still call with questions whenever I am doubting my parenting skills. Thanks Dog Waggin Staff!

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. We took our dog here about 4 times before…read moresummer. I would not take your dog here. No toys to play with and small rooms. The young kid who owns this or whatever also lied to me. I asked about a room and what was going on inside because I could see it and he said nothing and it was being cleaned - that was not true and I could see dogs in there and they all looked so sad. He said we could not go in to see dogs because it would rile them up, also bullshit- you just don't want people seeing your shitty/ depressing rooms. Do not take your dog somewhere if you cannot tour the place - duh no brainer, hence why I feel silly I even came back. The last time we picked our dog up he wreaked of pee and had yellow paws and had to potty right away. I should have known better and actually feel bad I let my dog come here. He was never excited to come. They also do not let you come see inside which is super sketchy and the one time I was able to get a look it legit looked like a jail cell and the dogs looked sad. It's also not cool the workers just stay outside and watch. That is not normal and they should he interacting with the dogs , not staring from a window outside. My dog hated coming here and was never excited. We ended up moving to pampered pets and it's been nothing but amazing ! The workers are great, so friendly and constantly interacting with the dogs. They have TVs where you can also see them and a beautiful outdoor space. They even have a pool for swim lessons . Please safe yourself the trouble and your dog the trauma of coming here. My dog visibly gets excited and cannot wait to come to pampered Pets so also a sign I know he is being loved and treated well.

Dogs have the freedom to run and stretch their legs while at the same time you can rest easy because they're in a very well thought out indoor / outdoor containment system, the latter sectioned off into four (4) huge separate field quadrants all under the watchful eye of an experienced staff. There isn't anything in the area that compares to this. Both Lisa and Judy are super friendly, great with the dogs and very knowledgeable. They're open 7 days per week which only compliments the cage free sleep overs; if dogs were able to choose where to stay they would pick this place, it's as simple as that. Don't take my word for it, go check it out and while you're at it don't forget to grab a piece or two of dubble bubble gum on the way out, best gum (for humans) ever!!

There are so many positives and no negatives! We have been using them for almost 6 months now and it has changed our lives. I'll list as many of the great things I can think of. 1. Staff is incredibly friendly, thoughtful and professional. 2. Owners are personable and investing in the business (facility and website upgrades) 3. Online website is super easy to use and make reservations 4. Daycare hours are great for work during the week (7am to 6pm). 5. Daily report cards with photos and summary of our dogs day are posted online for us to view and download 6. Kennel boarding overnight for the weekend or a long week trip are excellent for her too 7. We can select extra walks or playtime for an extra fee for overnight stays 8. Daycare is very reasonably priced at $20-22/day depending if you buy a monthly package or not. 9. They will administer pills and medicine if needed too for a small, reasonable fee 10. They have great dog school and lessons too, if you want to add that on to daycare Overall, I can't recommend this pet resort enough to anyone who needs dog daycare or overnight boarding!

Usually I train the puppies before I bring them out to her. This time I didn't. I wanted her to have him asap to help w the grief. My grandpa also had a dog, that never left his side and was with him the night he passed. After his passing we brought her to the funeral so she understood he wasn't coming home. After several tries of nudging him in the casket, kissing him and booping her nose to his nose to try to wake him up she realized he wasn't this time. After the funeral her behavior changed and she started marking everywhere in the house. Not knowing she was marking and bringing a puppy into the mix, made the situation alot more chaotic. My grandmas also in a wheelchair and depends on others for help. Which made things harder for her to train her puppy. After numerous phone calls, either being told it was nearly impossible to do what I needed help with or it's was gonna cost as much as giving them my first born, I nearly gave up. UNTIL.... Richard came to my rescue! When I talk to Richard for the first time, I got a sense of peace and a chance for hope. Instead of him telling me that this situation was an obstacle beyond imagination, or not possible, he took the challenge. He warned me it might take time, given the circumstances that I was pretty much putting him in and limiting what he could and couldn't do. But, he was willing to try and not charge me my first born. After the first session, we saw results that didn't seem reachable in the beginning. We've been able to break my grandpas dog from marking all over the house and the puppy's on his way to being pee pad trained. We still have more work to do but the progress so far gives the positive reassurance to keep going and not quitting. I highly recommend Richard to anyone and everyone! He's truly one of a kind

I was late to the pandemic dog/puppy party, I started work with a new shop that didn't require me to do the regular run & gun previous shops had me doing, and I finally felt ready to get a new puppy after two years of grieving on the loss of my last girlie. As soon as my new girlie had all her shots, one of the things I wanted to start doing early is getting socialized with as many different dogs as I could with her. Woodstock Canine was the first I visited and the only one that would take her as young as she was at the time. As time went by, she also visited a few other doggie daycare locations, one I avoided will go nameless, but it was a huge deal on Nextdoor about how they treat their four-legged clients and I promptly scratched them off the list. Another doggie daycare was going along great until I had to bolt out of town for a business emergency and let her stay the night at this 'other' location, I had gotten an alert from their staff that she wasn't walking great and was wondering if I could take her to my vet. The vet discovered that whatever the daycare/boarding facility used to clean the place burned a couple of her pads and I was out $900 in vet bills because their staff was probably more interested in Facebook updates than client health. One other scare sealed it for me never taking her there again. Woodstock Canine Clubhouse is exclusively where she goes for daycare and an emergency boarding if I get stuck with something, or I forgot about a party happening and didn't add it to Google Calendar. My girlie starts bouncing around when I make the right turn onto the road where Woodstock Canine Clubhouse is on and as soon as we're parked, she can't wait to get inside and play with her friends with the staff and all her other four-legged friends on the inside. At the end of the day, and as soon as we're barely out of their lot, she's crying that I'm taking her away from her friends, but that doesn't last long as she's fast asleep on the drive home. After dinner at home, she's fast asleep until around midnight when she asks to do her business (and dinner has digested) where she makes her way to the couch, bed, sometimes the crate and is back into a night of sleep only I can dream about having. Don't take my word on this, give your dog a day off and give Woodstock Canine Clubhouse a try, and see if your results mirror mine, I'm certain you won't be disappointed.

The first place I worked at, one if my fellow dog walkers was recommended to us by this place as they felt he'd do much better in a one-on-one situation rather than in a group environment. The place I currently walk for have gotten clients recommended to us from this place, as they felt group environment wasn't in the best interest for the dog(s) and that they're better off having one-on-one time while relaxing in the comfort of their own home!
