Hanging out with a few awesome people and a bunch of happy dogs sure beat waiting for mom to get home from work right? After Baileybug passed away, I adopted a rescued pit bull Marley and by this time, the daycare had come under new ownership. Cam has been nothing less than awesome for this daycare. I'm happy to have seen it evolve into the wonderful place it is now. Well managed, CLEAN and the folks have a genuine relationship with each and every pup that comes through that door.

DO NOT BRING YOUR DOGS TO THIS FACILITY IF YOU VALUE THEIR SAFETY!!!…read more Yesterday, my dog was viciously attacked by a much larger dog at this facility. My poor girl has puncture wounds on her face, ear, and front leg. She was bleeding and limping in agony when I saw her at the vet. The video footage clearly showed that my dog was walking normally and the attacking dog just ran over and attacked her from the back FOR NO REASON. However, Adventure Den has declined my request for obtaining the video footage. I will not stand for this kind of behavior. I have reported this incident to the city and will be pressing charges if necessary. It's absolutely unconscionable how dogs with such violent tendencies are allowed to pass the so-called temperament assessment in the first place. According to the staff member there, the attacking dog is not a perfect dog and has ALREADY SHOWN REACTIVITY in the past but never physically hurt another dog (yet). It appears that they are waiting for something like this to happen before banning the dog, which is absurd and unacceptable. Precautionary steps should have been taken long ago, and I'm deeply disappointed by their unprofessionalism. The staff-to-dog ratio in the video was also concerning: one staff member was overseeing 10-20 dogs when the incident happened. This is absolutely outrageous; a facility like this should NEVER be understaffed in any given moment. If you know you'll have fewer people working, you take in fewer dogs - it's that simple. This incident very much could've been avoided if the staff member was given a smaller group of dogs in which they could monitor the behaviors closely. If the facility continues with this ratio and un-thorough assessment, I fear that another dog will be seriously injured soon. On the bright side, after the incident happened, the staff member informed me immediately over the phone and took my dog to the vet very quickly. The other dog is now banned permanently, and the owner has offered to cover our medical bills. Thank you for making this experience less bad. But it doesn't change the fact that my dog is injured both physically and mentally, and it doesn't make up for the trauma she has experienced. I urge you not to take your dogs to this facility unless you are okay with putting them in danger. Wishing all the pups to stay safe and healthy.

OUR DOG WAS ATTACKED AND SEROUSLY INJURED UNDER THEIR CARE. AND A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DOG ALLOWED…read moreTO RETURN!! Our sweet, calm husky was attacked without provocation and severely injured by another dog at Dogtown by Dog taxi Daycare two weeks ago. She's almost toothless so she couldn't even defend herself. We have been trying to reach a resolution with them but they are refusing to provide us with details on the attack. They will not pass on the bill to the other owners and are only offering partial credit for future services. But since the other dog is still attending daycare, we feel like we can't trust them anymore to keep our dogs safe. If it wasn't for our dog's size and thick fur, the bite could have been fatal. A smaller, shorter haired dog would have had their throat ripped open completely. We have been asking them to at least let us know a description of the dog so we can avoid them in the neighborhood, prevent another dog from potentially being killed and get the medical costs ($1100) covered as well as a refund for the prepaid passes ($1600) we have with the daycare. All they can tell us is that a person unaffiliated with the daycare attempted to enter their private outdoor park and that agitated the dogs. Our dog was resting, lying on the ground and minding her own business when the other dog snapped and went after her. They say it was misplaced aggression and over excitement so she became the victim just because she was the closest. The dogs had previously met and interacted with no problems. They say that the other dog is in private training, will be kept separate if we send ours back but is still placed in a smaller group of dogs at the daycare. What's the point of an interview and screening if a potentially dangerous dog with a bite history is still allowed to attend? It could have been much worse consequences if that aggression was directed at a small dog or a child. At the first call, the daycare told us we needed to pick up our dog ASAP but downplayed the severity, saying it broke skin but she'd be alright. We got the call at 3:30 picked her up at 4 after they had cleaned up some of the blood. By the time we could get her seen by the vet at 4:30/5 pm until they could take her in at 5:30, she was still bleeding all over the floor. They got her into surgery and shaved the area to see the full extent of the bite. It required a number of stitches and was about 5 cm wide. It was a deep puncture that the vet said ruptured the muscle on her neck. Our other dog witnessed the attack and he has been shaken up ever since. Both dogs are still traumatized and now quite reactive to other dogs, something that was never an issue previously.

tldr: Contact the city about cases of incident from this place before you sign up…read more It's been just a bit over a year since our dog was attacked at this facility and since no real resolution was made I thought it was best to post my experience. Our husky was attacked while at daycare in this facility, she had been sleeping in the outdoor space and another dog freaked out when a person entered and decided to attack. This resulted in our husky requiring sedation and multiple stitches as the other dog went for her neck. After the incident, we tried to get in contact with a manager or higher-level employee to see what was going to be done moving forward. What we requested was to ensure the other dog was removed from daycare and to pass along the medical bill to the other owner. The waiver signed explicitly says that you are responsible for the medical cost if your dog hurts another, so this seemed fair. We were informed that the aggressive dog was not being removed, so we told them we were not comfortable keeping ours there and would like a refund for our existing passes. Regarding the medical bills, and refunds every person we talked to said we'd have to talk to a manager. We called and emailed over a dozen times for a month. Every time we got a hold of someone they said no manager was available, but that we would receive a callback. We would then wait 3 or 4 days but would never hear back. Finally, we made a post within some of the community Facebook groups and review sites warning other owners that the aggressive dog remained at the facility. We also informed animal control that an aggressive dog was being permitted to stay within the daycare service. Within a day the owner finally called us, we went back and forth about how we felt it was reasonable to pass on the medical bill. The owner did not care about our requests or how our dog was doing and was only concerned about the reviews. He then blamed our dog saying it was her fault she was attacked because she was a husky and that we shouldn't have taken her to the vet. Finally, we came to an agreement that they would sell the other owner discounted services and provide us with the money for the medical bills. They still refused to refund our passes or to remove the aggressive dog, but it was a step. A month after this, they finally provided us with a third of the money. They continuously harassed us about the reviews and promised the money was coming. When the review was not removed they cut contact and we never received the rest of the medical bills or a refund for the passes. After all this, we continued contact with animal control as they were working to see if anything could be done. We found out from them that this facility has a history of poor management. Including a dog fatality due to heatstroke, and leaving dogs in boarding alone overnight, which resulted in neighbours having to rush in and free dogs during a fire. We also found out that the same aggressive dog that had attacked ours ended up attacking another at the facility about a month later. Since the facility knew it was an aggressive dog and opted to allow it to stay the city has now decided to move forward with a more serious case. If you are thinking about putting your dog in this facility, DON'T. Even if you believe I am biased (which I am) I implore you to reach out to the city and inquire about their cases pass and active.

I have taken him to daycare, boarding, daycare and train, Group Classes and Private classes and don't have a single complaint about any of my experiences. Good Dog Staff are very patient and kind and don't hesitate to go the extra mile when you have questions or concerns. I love that there are a variety of trainers with different approaches but they are all still very patient and positive. It's easy to get frustrated sometimes when training a high strung puppy with a short attention span but I never saw them lose their patience with either of us and they never minded staying a little bit late to address any concerns or questions I had :) I have done the Puppy and Adolescent classes so far and plan on taking them all eventually. I feel that the price is very reasonable considering the quality of training you receive. (High Quality IMO!) If I could do a private lesson every week, I would and it would be worth it! Ace and I have gained so much from the GD trainers and I can't thank them enough. During Daycare and train i received daily 'report cards' on Ace's progress and I always enjoy seeing the daily pictures that are posted on Facebook of all the dogs playing and enjoying each others company. I know that all of the staff is knowledgeable on pack interaction and that Ace is monitored to ensure he is playing appropriately (He sometimes mounts other dogs). They don't ignore problem behavior and they inform me of any concerns upon pick up each day. Last time he went for boarding they noticed he had a puncture on his face (I believe from one of my other dogs) and they went ahead and cleaned it and applied ointment which I SO appreciated. They also sent me an email to make sure I was aware (I had been but it had opened up during play and had been bleeding again) which I know not everyone would do!

I called and the ranch was closed on Friday night but Cam returned my call and happily said he would take our dog the next day.

When we arrived our 10 month old puppy happily followed Cam behind the gate which showed us she felt safe there and trusted Cam. The facility looked amazing from what we could see and we felt very confident that this was a dog haven! At the end of the day we were rushed to get back to the ranch and noticed there was a Dog Ranch van that said shuttle services on it and I thought perhaps I could request a shuttle to the ferry for our puppy and Cam was amazing again and said "No problem I'm on my way there already" Our puppy was so relaxed and content when he dropped her off. This was her first "kennel" experience and if we lived closer I wouldn't hesitate to bring her back. Great Work, Great Place , Great people!!! Thank you so much Dog Ranch :)

We picked out dog up once and it ended up costing more than the shuttle. Here's the kicker... it's comparably priced to boarding your dog in the city. Only here they get to run around in the country all day. Check out their Facebook page too.
