Prince loves to play with the staff!

You can tell when a place and staff love what they do. Bijan and team (shout out to Jason, Rose, and Sergio!) keep the dogs happy. Very reasonable rates and they are super flexible even with last minute bookings. Wouldn't take the doggies anywhere else!

I cannot say enough good things about this place. After a last-minute emergency situation picking my puppy up from another pet hotel, he was given back to me smelling horrendously like pee--and we were driving back to Arizona the same day, so we needed help ASAP. I called Barking Lodge Pet Resort to ask about pricing for a quick emergency wash, and Wil got my puppy in within minutes of making the call. All they needed were his immunizations, which I had and was able to forward right away. When I arrived, they took us in immediately. Everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and reassuring, and they walked me through the entire process. We waited outside while they bathed and dried him, and the whole thing was done in about 20 minutes. My puppy came out smelling so clean and fresh, and most importantly, he was genuinely happy--which says everything. Wil was amazing to work with, and I am so grateful I found this place when I needed it most.

I've been going to the Barking Lodge now for a few months. This is a family owned business, and the whole family truly loves animals and takes care of my babies as if they were their own. Maryam is one of the nicest people I have ever met, and Niloo has a bunch of connections in the resue world, so if you are looking for a specific try of dog. Please contact her, and she can help you find your perfect purr baby! The Barking Lodge sends me pictures and videos throughout the day every time they are there. Such a beautiful, thoughtful gesture. I can not say enough good things about The Barking Lodge and encourage you to try them if you need to board or just need the pets to get out to play and socialize with others.

Report card!

We love this place! We do daycare M-F! Our pup is a reactive dog and has so much energy! It's nice knowing that she socialize with other dogs and not always at home by herself. We get pictures and videos getting little updates on how she's doing. They also started sending cute little report cards! Which is so fun and I love it!! Staff here are great! We love them and our pup does too!

Husky, barking lodge

I dropped off my two huskies who have separation anxiety. This was our second time dropping them off here and they LOVED IT again! Although my pup did not want to eat, they sat next to them when they needed to be fed so they felt more comfortable. We got updates when we checked in and we were thankful for the videos and the pictures. Isabella also is the sweetest in their staff. She worked with the huskies everyday and bonded and took care of our babies as if they were her own while we were away! BEST PLACE EVER FOR YOUR FURBABIES! We Recommend 100% Thank you team and thank you Isabella! You are truly a blessing to us!

This the injury that Barking Lodge staff neglected!

Do you guys offer boarding for cats now?

Hi Duyen! Unfortunately we still are not capable of having cats. We are still looking to do it in the future.

Do the dogs run outside and play with each other for dog day care?

Hello Kristin, The dogs run around in the indoor play yards all day for both boarding and day care :)

I have a small dog. How much it is for the hotel?

Are you asking about a grooming services?

Can I request to put my cat and my dog in the same room?

Hi Mindy, Unfortunately we do not service cats but hope to in the future.

You can tell they genuinely love animals. I appreciated that they don't just throw all the dogs together -- they actually do temperament checks first and pay attention to each dog's behavior and comfort level. The place itself was also super clean and organized.

The facility itself is very well equipped, with more than 100 rooms. They also have separate isolation rooms in case a dog gets sick, which helps prevent illnesses from spreading to other dogs. I thought that was a huge plus. All new dogs are required to provide vaccination records, and they also do about a 20-minute temperament assessment before joining. Based on each dog's personality, they arrange suitable playgroups instead of just mixing all the dogs together. The staff are also very professional and attentive. They keep daily records of each dog's eating habits and bathroom activity, which really gives owners extra peace of mind. Overall, it feels like a very responsible and well-organized place for dogs.

I've been very happy with Camp Bow Wow so far!! I have left my pup a number of times so far,…read moreincluding about four full day boarding sessions, an over nighter and a two night stay so far. It is easy to book your stays through the app and everything has ran smoothly for my experience so far. They require all records prior to your first stay to make sure the dogs are up to date on vaccinations, etc. There are also a number of enrichments offered at an extra cost to entertain your pup, and on certain days of the week they have specialty enrichments. On my pup's last stay we ordered a pup cup and I did not expect to receive pictures in email of her enjoying it. That made my day. There are always cameras available to check in on your doggy to make you feel at ease. My pup is always excited and always playing during her stays and she is excited to go in when we arrive, she isn't even worried about me heading off and she's still happy when we come back for her. Then there is the additional perk of your pup being wiped out for a nice portion of the day when you return. Thank you Camp Bow Wow and especially for having staff around at all times, and for making it possible to take trips with ease knowing our pup will be taken care of.

Mind you we have not rescued many but enough to know they need special care and Camp Bow Wow has done such a beautiful job of loving our babies and helping them to feel safe, which gives us peace of mind. When brought our current dog home about six months ago, we gave her a bit of time and then introduced her to Camp Bow Wow. It has been such a help to help socialize her around dogs and people and now she gets so excited when we bring her in. She has learned to interact with other dogs and with people, play until her heart's content and take breaks when she needs to. She always comes home tiered in the best way. Thank you for taking care of our babies Camp Bow Wow!

Nova isn't a huge player, but she loves to observe and get attention from the humans. I love watching her on the webcam hang out with dogs that are her same temperament.

I've been bringing my dog here for daycare and boarding, and overall I've had a really positive…read moreexperience. To be transparent, my very first visit had a few hiccups. I was thankful that they accepted my county vaccination paperwork and that I was able to board my dog privately until she was spayed (which I did complete). There were some initial issues related to camera access and paperwork that were a bit frustrating at the time. The camera issue itself ultimately appeared to be more of a technical problem, but the initial communication at the front desk left me feeling like my concerns weren't fully heard. Looking back, it seems like something that could have been easily clarified with better communication. That said, coming from a customer service background, I believe it's important to give businesses the opportunity to address concerns before forming a final opinion. What really stood out to me was how the management team handled everything. They reached out, listened, and took my concerns seriously. They made the effort to explain, correct, and improve the experience, and followed up in a way that felt genuine and accountable. The issue was addressed quickly, and I truly believe they used the feedback as an opportunity to improve, which I really respect. Since then, I've continued bringing my dog here regularly - including overnight stays - and the difference has been clear. The staff is attentive, kind, and very in tune with the dogs. They recognize her, look forward to seeing her, and consistently keep me informed about how she's doing, including any concerns. She is treated with patience and care. They've also gone above and beyond in ways that meant a lot to me. They honored a daycare promotion I had missed when I first enrolled, and during a recent visit when my dog had been sprayed by a skunk, the team was incredibly attentive and helped clean her thoroughly and thoughtfully. That level of care made a stressful situation so much easier. The facility itself is clean and well-maintained, and the team members who work directly with the dogs genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. I have no doubt that they have the dogs' best interests in mind, even knowing how challenging it can be to manage so many different personalities. No place is perfect, and dogs can be unpredictable, but what matters most to me is how a business responds when something doesn't go as planned. In this case, they made it right, and that's why they've become my go-to for daycare and boarding. I'm very thankful to have found them, and my dog clearly feels comfortable there, which says everything.

Her trainer, Noel, was absolutely fantastic. He was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with working breeds like German Shepherds. When Mataya came home, the difference was incredible. She is much more obedient, focused, and well-mannered. You can tell that Noel really took the time to work with her and build a solid foundation. I highly recommend Hudson's Canine Kennels to anyone looking for quality training. We are so pleased with Mataya's progress and grateful for the excellent care and dedication she received.

Okay first off I did rave about this place on Instagram and Tik Tok but that's because I got the…read morevideos of my dog and he looked like he was doing so well. He was listening, he was following commands and seemed to be comprehending very well. It was because of the prong collar that was dugged into his neck whenever a command is given. Fast forward the two weeks...I was so excited to get him back and got instructions on how he was trained and to continue the training on my own. Now I don't have complaints on how they train, each person has their own technique however when I got my dog back with me alone, he was super anxious and scared. He wouldn't let me leave his side. Every time I got up he would get up too. Everywhere I went in the house he would follow. I get it because we've been apart for two weeks and he was afraid that I would leave him again. He really did not like the prong collar. He yelped one time when I took it off. It's not an easy collar to take off. I gave the prong collar a try for a few days and he listened but he was not the same happy dog that I was used to. He was withdrawn and did not let people approach him or touch him. He did not bark at all which was not him. He was also super skinny when I got him back, you can see his bones sticking out. They said he ate all the food I brought. I brought kibble, some home made food, treats and a new bag of fresh pet. I was told that he had completely finished all of his food. My dog doesn't eat a whole lot, so I was surprised that he had nothing left. I did not want anything back, I just know my dog doesn't eat that much and is very dry picky.l and hoped he was fed well. That part I'm not too sure on. When I got him back I did manage to weigh him and he was 4.6 lbs, he usually weighs about 5 1/2 lbs. He is now eating right and gaining his weight back but I still feel his bones. After a couple of days of using the prong collar I stopped putting it on him. He would lay where he was, very sad and distant. He didn't even want to play with my other dog, he just wanted to sit right by me when he had his collar. After leaving the collar off for several days now he has become a super happy and very playful puppy. He still obeys commands with treats of course. I don't think anything was wrong with the training my dog received. I think this place is for a dog who is a bit more mischievous and does not entirely listen. I also think it's more suitable for dogs of a larger size or breed or weight like my pit bull but she listens and is very mellow. I do appreciate the help that Hudson's Canine Kennels gave, unfortunately this did not work out for me or my dog.

He was really worried about his hair not growing out nicely but I told him that he's received this haircut multiple times before by other groomers. Little did I know that because my dogs breed has a double coat, cutting into it will cause the inner coat not to grow out. Thank you for teaching me about my dogs coat and what is best. I appreciate the transparency and care you have towards the care and needs of our babies. Now for the experience: Louis came out looking fabulous! He smelled amazing and I could tell they treated him nicely. They left his tail fluffy which I loved. Any style or cut you're looking for this place can do it!

To be honest, I felt pressured to write my first review just to receive a discount, which already didn't sit right with me. I usually prefer to wait until I've had a few visits before leaving feedback. At the time, everything seemed fine the cut was good, and I liked how the master groomer handled my dog. However, during my most recent visit, I specifically asked them not to cut my dog's eyelashes. (Was growing them for a photo shoot) When I picked her up this past Friday, they had clearly cut them anyway. This was upsetting because I gave clear instructions, and they were ignored. I called to address the issue, and while the person on the phone did apologize, it felt very dismissive more like "what can we do for you?" than genuine concern. There was no real accountability, and it felt like it wasn't taken seriously. Over the four visits I've had, I've also noticed a pattern of upselling services and pressure tactics. On top of that, I've been told that tips given to employees don't actually go directly to them, which is very concerning. What really sealed it for me was being asked, after leaving a 4-star review, why I didn't give 5 stars. There was no appreciation just expectation for more. Because of all of this, I'm changing my review from 4 stars to 1. Honestly, if I could give zero, I would.
