WARNING If you love…read moreyour dog, avoid this place like the plague. PURE NEGLECT. I saw right through their fake smiles and empty reassurances. They don't provide any real report about your dog's wellbeing just generic words, "she's doing great," which was clearly unbelievably false. The kennels are worse than shelters. The condition of this place merits a free stay, not the absurd fee they charge. It's overpacked with dogs, nonstop barking, and clear signs of stress everywhere. Their so-called "privacy suite" is a flat-out lie. They do NOT follow your dog's needs. They claim each kennel has an outdoor run, They have to manually open it, so their statement that dogs can go out anytime is completely false. I told them my dog is a rescue with a history of neglect and abandonment, and I trusted them to keep her safe and supported. Instead, I picked her up in distress , injured, bleeding, and with her voice completely gone from what must have been nonstop barking and crying. EVEN THOUGH I PROVIDED THEM WITH HER SEDATIVES. She had made so much progress, and this experience set her back in every way. Blood was all over my car and the dog wash station from her injuries. It's heartbreaking and infuriating. The shelter she came from took better care of her than this place. I can't understand how businesses like this are allowed to keep operating. How do they sleep at night. Shame on you. PS: I suggest you concern yourself less with reviews and more with the wellbeing of the dogs under your care. At the very least, stop hiring low quality staff.

Time has really gotten way from me in writing this review! I lived in Airdrie from June 2015 -…read moreApril 2016. I was alone in the area for work and had only my dog, Cooper and cat, Saul. I didn't have a friend/family network in the area to help with my animals when I went out of town AND my dog Cooper was fear aggressive so it made it just that much more nerve wracking to leave him with someone. After two failed attempts at a dog sitter via a app based service (2 no shows for meet and greets!) I no longer had confidence in trusting a stranger found by an app to come into my home and car for my pets. I searched for kennels and found High Tails - LIFE CHANGING! From the first phone call to the last visit every experience was outstanding. Cooper loved it so much that when i would pick him up he would not want to get in the car. He was a different dog after his time at High Tails. It was a confidence booster for him and a relief for me. He became much less fearful even outside his stays. Saul, the cat was a little more subtle in his excitement - but he seems happy and content every time I picked him up after a stay. I believe we had about 4 stays at High Tails. One at Christmas time that I booked with less than 2 weeks notice and they were able to accommodate at the last minute. We moved back to St. Louis, Missouri about two weeks after their last stay at High Tails and I can say I was genuinely sad to no longer have the option to bring my pets to this amazing facility! Don't hesitate! If you are looking for a exceptional kennel to board your pets, this is the place!

As a loyal member for 12 years with my dog, it was absolutely disgraceful how i was treated and…read moredismissed at the end. Two different dogs got in my dog's face and the owner's lied and said they were attacked. One even went so far as to say she was bit. Interesting considering there was no blood. Their stories were given as the truth and we weren't even given a say to defend ourselves. Stay away from this company. They are only in it for the money. Go to Cultured Canines instead, where you can expect to be treated fairly and decently.

We have taken our fur babies here three times now…read more They post updates/pics on facebook, have a clean and well run facility, are REASONABLY priced for the Calgary market and also have friendly staff. We are happy that they will feed our dogs their raw diet, keep them together, and even cater to our grouchy shiba inu who likes to start fights - we couldn't ask for more. Each time we are away we get to see our kids playing and having a great time, they come home happy and uninjured, and the price is right. I also like that there are a variety of dogs there and that the owners seem to be breeders of Mini-shelties themselves. Great find, and close for us being out in Bragg Creek.

As well, each individual kennel has an outdoor run attached which is AWESOME and gives the dog the option of going outside. They also take the dogs out for an hour or so for playtime and post the pictures on Facebook - LOVE IT. I am very picky about leaving my dog anywhere, but feel very comfortable leaving her at South Bark.

I was recommended to the services of Donia and her amazing business - Whiskers & Wags Pet Services…read morefor her board and train services. I quickly learned that Donia is a very remarkable person who offers more than just her board and train services. It's also great to note that she offers these services in her own home which means she spends a lot of time with each of the pets that she takes in. When we first met with Donia, she explained her services and based on our training needs recommended a two week board and train for our 14 months old boxer. BONUS: She also owns boxers and understands their boxer-isms! We were a bit hesitant and worry-some to leave our pup with someone and we were always curious as to his going-on's. But Donia was awesome at keeping her facebook page updated with pictures and updates on to his training status. She also sent check-in emails which put our minds at ease. Once he was done his training, we immediately saw a change in his behaviours and definitely picked up on the new things he had learned with her. We did find a need for additional training on his crating but Donia was quick to offer assistance and tips for us. She has been a great resource for us and we are glad to have met her. We will definitely use her services again as she has become an important part of our family.
