Beware of this daycare! We have been bringing our dog here fir the past 5 1/2 years no less than 3…read moredays/week on average. She was recently out for a month with a serious gastrointestinal infection as well as an infection on her foot which resulted in two of her toes being removed. After reaching out to have Amber return to daycare with a veterinary clearance, we received the following e-mail: Hi, We hope you guys had a wonderful weekend. We miss Amber as well and are happy to hear that her vet doesn't have any concerns. That being said, daycare can be extremely active, and messy as well during play (when pools are out, mud, etc), and we would never want Amber to get further hurt or sick in a vulnerable state. Due to her extreme and sudden onset of medical issues, we feel as a team that we can no longer provide the level of specific care Amber needs at this time. As much as we would love to continue seeing her, we feel that it would not be the best decision for her medically. I appreciate your understanding, I apologize for the inconvenience, and wish you all the best. WTF??? Is upper management now veterinarians too? Who are you to override a veterinary clearance? We thought that is why you have EVERYONE sign a waiver which releases you from liability. What we see here is ageism plain & simple - you do not want to attend to a senior dog who can walk, run & play because you have no staff and cannot be bothered oh, by the way, this is after we, as loyal clients did not sue you after our dog was severely attacked at daycare by a bully dog who had only just joined. Yes, we are loyal clients, we came back, we recommended you to others, you used our dog as a test dog for meets & greets with potential new clients! We have never been in arrears for payment, oh wait, we actually paid in advance! This is NOT how you treat clients! We will be taking our loyalty, money & sweet girl elsewhere, this is all on you, you should be ashamed as there is no reason why she cannot come back, but after the way you just treated us, never again at UCA.

Re: Facebook offer for online course - Buyer Beware!: I had no idea that when I purchased the $27…read moretraining course to address my dog's reactive behavior - as advertised in the Tom Davis's FB video - that addressing reactive behavior wasn't included in my purchase but rather required my buying an additional $197 worth of classes in order to get to the real reason for my purchasing the $27 program in the first place....Regretably I didn't realize sooner that this was a "rabbit hole" disguised as a $27 investment to bait people like me into spending almost 7 times more to learn how to fix a dog's reactive behavior. I stopped before purchasing the additional $147 program for learning how to enjoy walking my dog... REALLY?!!!...walking the dog wasn't even part of the $27? ... figuring that after that they'd be something else to purchase following by something else to purchase, etc., etc... I requested a refund for which I received a HARD NO in response.

The remaining pup was left quite lonely. He enjoyed getting exhausted by running with pals and slowly came to be much more like his old self. The owner, Jen, has Belgian Malinois thoiugh I've never actually seen them. She's knowledgeable and nice. They seem to have an avid agility "group" as there is a really big, nice course. Dog Logic (Glens Falls) conducts low level Obedience classes of all levels there. I'm going through that process with our new rescue and it's been fun. They have a doggie jungle gym in a closed yard filled with river rocks (helps with rain and snow and picking up poop). The staff is very focused on positive reinforcement training. There is a groomer that works out of the basement. I have had the opportunity to use her once and she was good too. Finally, Mahogany Ridge distributes a brand of pet food called Bill-Jac. It's a raw foods program and the food looks nice. I don't use the brand personally, but I know that everyone I've met who has tried it has liked it. I am a big believer in Doggie Daycare. In this area there's very little just now, so it's nice to have a good one!

Ellie has met several good friends here, and has become so much better behaved around other dogs and people because of Doggy Playcare. There is a very careful admission process here, which makes this place special. In addition to "Playcare", we also brought Ellie here for group training, which was also a very positive experience. Brittney was great to Ellie and made it so much fun to attend classes. I highly recommend Doggy Playcare!
