They're friendly and thoughtful. My pup immediately felt comfortable. Now, she looks forward to her regular "makeover" days.

We love Another Barking Dog! Amanda is so considerate and loving of our little Emmy. She takes her…read moreoutside several times throughout the day and goes above and beyond with everything we ask of her. Emmy is very high maintenance but Amanda will do everything and more with no complaints. And for a very fair price. Emmy loves going to Amanda's because she knows she will be cared for and attended to. Amanda knows each dog by name and personality, and she is always patient, attentive, and professional. She will send photo updates throughout the day so I can see our little Emmy having fun with the other dogs. Amanda's space is clean, safe, and spacious for all dog sizes. Emmy always comes home tired but happy which is great for her and us. I can't recommend enough.

From the owner: At Another Barking Dog, we offer more than pet care. We provide a personalized, boutique experience…read moretailored to your dog’s unique needs. Whether your pup has a special diet, medical needs, or just thrives on routine, we create a home away from home that feels familiar and safe. Each dog enjoys their own cozy sleeping spot, whether that’s a comfy kennel or a warm bed next to a trusted friend. Peaceful beach sounds play in the background throughout the day and night, helping drown out outside noise and create a calming, low-stress environment. We also specialize in caring for senior dogs and understand the unique needs that come with aging. From quieter spaces and slower-paced walks to gentle handling and extra patience, we make sure your older pup feels secure, comfortable, and respected at every stage of life. This isn’t a loud, high-volume boarding facility - it’s a peaceful, structured space where dogs can rest, play, and be themselves. We focus on connection, comfort, and quality not quantity. Tail wags upon pickup are the norm around here, because your dog can’t wait to come back!

Big news for our boy Tyson!…read more Today at 2:00 we had our meet and greet at Dogtopia of Jacksonville Beach Boulevard (11300 Beach Blvd, Jacksonville, FL). It was a 20-30 minute evaluation with one of their awesome trained staff to see if Tyson would be a good fit for daycare. Well... he passed with flying colors!! So we're now officially doggie daycare parents! This is going to be so great for him to build his social skills (even though he's already a professional door greeter ). We've decided his full name now needs to be Tyson Carlton Corcoran -- because, well, it just fits! He'll get hours of safe socialization, exercise, learning, and the best part -- FUN! We'd been researching a few doggie daycare centers, but honestly, what completely sold us on Dogtopia was the people. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the happiest, friendliest staff. Ms. Peggy, the owner, came right out to welcome us, and while Tyson was whisked away for his evaluation, she gave us a full tour -- from the grooming room to the play and nap areas, to the feeding room (the only thing we didn't see was her office... but I'm pretty sure her "office" is the whole center ). She answered every question we had -- and even a few we didn't think to ask! It's so clear how much she and her team truly love what they do. We're beyond happy knowing Tyson's going to have a safe, loving, and fun place to play and learn. Dogtopia of Jacksonville Dogtopia of Jacksonville Beach Boulevard

Very friendly staff, and very responsive to potential new customers, but totally dishonest billing…read morepractices and required multiple attempts to reach out by me to finally get a response. I am in Jax for extended stay, but still a temporary visit, and I wanted my dog to have some sense of normalcy by continuing to go to daycare like she does at home. The owner talked me through the forms to sign, which is on me for not reading it myself, because she did not at all mention that I was signed up for auto-billing so I was shocked to see a $428 charge for daycare when my dog didn't go to daycare once on the initial 1 month package I signed up for. The fact that I had to reach out multiple times before getting any acknowledgement is a super disappointing experience given how friendly and "transparent" the owner is to prospective customers. I will note the reason I didn't end up taking my dog there even though I had purchased a package is because it is standard at all Dogtopia's that dogs are crated for a 2 hour window everyday, and the place I take her at our permanent home is a crate-free environment so two hours in a crate every day would not be a good experience for her.

Devon has been working with my three dogs for over a year now, and I wouldn't trust anyone else. My…read morepack includes David, a 13-year-old Shih Tzu mix; Zoey, an 8-year-old Doberman; and Alice, a 2-year-old Doberman who's been doing service dog training with Devon. Not only has Devon helped Alice with her specialized training, but they've also worked with Zoey and David on refresher lessons and day-to-day living strategies to make managing three very different dogs much easier. Devon's approach is amazing--they adjust their training methods to align with what I'm comfortable with, creating a collaborative and supportive experience. It's never about right or wrong; it's about finding what works best for you and your dog. We've done in-person lessons and board-and-trains, and every time, Alice comes home better than when she left. Alice adores Devon, and knowing she's happy and in such capable hands makes all the difference. Devon is easy to communicate with, incredibly knowledgeable, and truly cares about the well-being of every dog they work with. I can't recommend them enough

Id highly recommend Arcane Canine to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative…read moretrainer/boarder. My dog stayed with Devon while I looked for housing. I wasn't sure how he would do woth other animals but Devon immediately assured me that they would be able to handle Kapano in their house for his boarding! I was impressed as he came back more confident and mannered around other dogs. I was consistently sent updates and photos of him throughout his stay and made to feel more than welcome to visit. He also came back to me in better shape in terms of muscle! If there was anything Devon had questions about they had no issues contacting me right away to let me know or ask about, I felt very comfortable and safe with my dog remaining under Devons care. I had never had to leave my dog with anyone before so i was reasonably worried as he's been my bestfriend for 6 years but i am EXTREMELY satisfied with Devons services and will continue to use devon for any training/boarding related needs for the future. I cannot recommend Arcane Canine enough! And thank you Devon for taking the best care of my boy when I needed it the most you are amazing!

My dogs have never been to a boarding place like this one. I was a little nervous for them because…read morethey were shaking when I brought them in... I was gone for three days and got to watch them on the puppy cams and the whole time they seemed relaxed and happy... The people who work here deeply care for animals and certainly have a way with the dogs! My dogs ate very well and I will definitely be bringing them back knowing that they will be in good hands next time I'm away!

WARNING: Management and staff post fake reviews to keep ratings high. Read reviews very carefully…read moreto determine the truth for the safety of your furry family member. Weekend Boarding and PM Staff at Happy Hound Dog Resorts (HHDR) at Beach Boulevard is HORRIBLE and NOT recommended for SPECIAL NEEDS DOGS! CAUTION: Personnel is inexperienced with no compassion, patience, knowledge or education to care for special needs dogs despite website advertisement. HHDR is NOT suited for dogs with special needs such as separation anxiety. WARNING: Worker's performance resembles unsuccessful daycare employees who decided to change career paths. Entry level employees with little to no experience caring for animals would not accept responsibility for their neglect, inadequate training and inability to care for multiple dogs. The customer, your special needs pet or other dogs in their care are blamed for any and all incidents. CAUTION: Read waiver thoroughly before signing and leaving your vulnerable furry family member! WHY? As stated, Happy Hounds Dog Resorts (HHDS) accepts ANY dog that is not sick with requested vaccinations. HHDS is NOT responsible for any injury to your dog even when management, employees, volunteers or contractors are liable. WARNING: AGGRESSIVE dogs are placed with anxiety and non-aggressive dogs by SIZE! Due to staff lack of experience and knowledge, King was harassed repeatedly by aggressive dogs (watched one incident on camera). A worker (white pregnant female) placed King "in time out" because he defended himself after an antagonistic dog repeatedly kept trying to "hump him" according to her statement on Saturday, October 26, 2024. Common sense care is limited to verbal conversations. Oncoming staff as next shift will NOT read chart/paperwork/computerized records to determine special needs. Instead, rough play as pack initiation "all day" is permitted. Apparently, their responsibility is limited to feeding and cleaning the area while observing activities. Weekend tech was adamant, defensive, oblivious regarding her error and unwilling to accept responsibility for her actions and decisions. During our conversation, reciting her statements back to her several times was required until she understood care was negligent. Conversations similar to parent speaking to a pre-k daycare assistant who proudly abused discretion without justification. The entire conversation was strange and horrifying with no idea what would occur until I arrived almost 48 hours later. On Saturday, October 26, 2024, King was placed in a "10x10 room to play with toys alone with a bowl of water." I specifically asked, "was King injured?" Her response was "no." We agreed (and requested) that King remain separated from other dogs until pick-up for his safety and "prevent injury". Upon arrival on Monday, October 28, 2024, King was in front area (entrance) with larger dogs that were "his size". Perhaps, this was the only way to protect him from the "back-end" employees and dogs. At home, more horror was discovered. After bathing and grooming, his body and mouth were checked. King's lip and two teeth were bloody and swollen. His right eye is constantly secreting yellow mucus. His mouth was sore to touch on right side. He couldn't eat. His appearance and countenance resembled a child that was mentally broken, neglected, beaten or punched or kicked and abused. He looks fragile from weight lost or dehydration. NOTE: 12 cans of dog food were provided, Beach boulevard facility was contacted immediately. Daytime employee suggested King hurt himself by purportedly "chewing on kennel and bruised his nose and lip" as a common reaction to anxiety. However, she "don't know what happened on the back-end" and she was "not present yesterday [Sunday]. Furthermore, his nose is fine. Separation anxiety usually accompanies an inability to socialize amongst aggressive dogs. King's limitations were previously disclosed in WRITING and verbally communicated to the manager and two AM workers on Friday (October 25, 2024). Management not present weekends. Inexperienced staffers run the entire operation with little to no compassion, training and resources to accommodate animals with special needs. Addressing concerns via telephone and website email caused King to be subjected to abuse and neglect. Yes, he was "happy" on Friday when left with management. When I returned on Monday, October 28th, King had a swollen lip with two bloody teeth, right eye secreting mucus from injuries and a broken spirit. He won't respond as himself, he's distant and constantly pulls away when attempting to touch him ... Similar to a child subjected to abuse and returned to the parent as alleged abuser(s) blame the child and parent.
