This is a very personal review. I love my dog dearly. His name is Otis Redding. He is a French…read moreBull Dog that is three years old. Otis reactive which means, he gets really excited when he meets human's and other dogs. He is also very protective of my wife and I to whom he spends most of his time with. I have hired several trainers and behaviorists to help us with Otis. Let me be clear, Otis is the best dog we have ever had 95% of the time. It is the other 5% that we want to improve. I also wanted Otis to have a place to be boarded so my family can go on a cruise next year. That is the foundation of my needs and story. I purchased a package for Otis at Creative Dog Training for 20 days of "Interactive Dog Day Care". In addition, I hired them for for sessions of dog training with my wife and I. Please remember, this is not my first rodeo on dog training. Otis has gone for close to 20 visits, Monday through Friday every week. He has made both human and dog friends. Some days, the owner of "Creative Dog Training" sends me a short video on Otis progress. Other days, Otis gets kind of a report card of how he is doing. Brining him from Down Town Birmingham to the Summit area every day has been no fun at all. I choose to do it because it was the only way I could give Otis a deep dose of acclimating him to everyone. Today we did our first session with the owner/trainer. Once Otis walks in the door of CDT, he a zero issues with other dogs and is open to new human friends. The training session is about 1/2 and gave my wife and me so very easy hints on working with my dog at home. CDT is not cheap however anything in life that is worth having has a cost to it. I know have a place to board my dog and a better dog at home. We still have huge improvement needed. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Hope this helps anyone who reads this review.

Their play space at the new location in Homewood is indoors, so I can take her year around without worrying about her getting overheated. I have boarded her there as well and that has been a good experience. Tyler's sunny disposition makes it a pleasure to do business with them, and Calvin is an absolute miracle worker when it comes to dog training. I get the 20-day education day care package, which makes her visits affordable, and unlike some other day care businesses, the package never expires. I can't say enough good things about this place!

Started my baby at daycare and LOVE that I could see a picture of her or a short video on snap chat. I quickly became THAT pet mom with daycare screen shots on her phone she sent to friends. The drop off and pickup is very quick and easy. When I realized I would need to board her last minute, I called and they were very accommodating. My baby seems happy and tired when she leaves there. And all too eager, in my opinion, to jump out of the car when we arrive. The owner is attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a clean indoor daycare or place to board their pup.

It reflects a serious failure in supervision, handling protocols, and basic duty of care. When a business accepts responsibility for an animal, there is an expectation that proper safety measures, secure containment, and trained staff are in place at all times. The emotional distress this has caused my 7yr old daughter cannot be overstated. Pet owners trust facilities like this with members of their family. Losing a dog under your care demonstrates negligence that should concern anyone considering their services. I strongly advise others to carefully evaluate whether this is a safe environment for their pets and to ask detailed questions about their safety procedures, staff training, and incident response protocols.
