Great experience for a first time dog owner!…read more I started bringing my German Shepherd at around 10 weeks old to Puppy Kindergarten, and we ended up attending almost 30 sessions until she was 6 months old. The classes were invaluable for both my dog and myself. She learned bite inhibition & the proper way to play with other puppies. I learned basic training techniques and got introduced to several other puppy owners who I still regularly schedule play dates with. The classes were fun and a great way for her to burn off that puppy energy. I wholeheartedly recommend The Clubhouse for Dogs to anyone with a new puppy!

He comes home tired and with a huge smile on his face. He has made great buddies there and it has been amazing for his socialization. He loves the staff, when I drop him off he doesn't even look back, he's just ready for his day with his besties. I have total peace of mind when he is there, the staff and owner Pascale are all so caring, attentive, engaging and experienced. If I've ever had a question or concern they have addressed it in a timely manner. They went above and beyond recently when my dog ate a little mushroom he found outside. They caught him in the act, rushed him to the vet, brought a sample to make sure it wasn't anything harmful, and all at their expense. He was totally fine, and I can't express how grateful I was that they took it so seriously and were swift with their response. When I say total peace of mind, I mean it. I can't recommend this place enough! Oh, and it's super convenient for pick up and drop off in West Seattle. Just an all around great place.

On my return trip via Snoqualmie Pass, I got unexpectedly delayed by a traffic jam, which put my arrival time after their closing time. I was stressing, thinking they would charge me for an extra day, but I called them and explained to my delay, and they agreed to meet me up to a half hour after closing time. I did so and got my dog back :) nice of them to accommodate. Note that they do require kennel cough inoculation, plus a poop sample, before they will accept your dog for boarding.

We had our dogs boarded at Seattle Canine Club on 4th Ave for a long weekend. We are new to the…read morearea, and have not yet met friends we can trust to care for our pups. After research, we decided to board them with Seattle Canine Club. They hadn't been boarded before (they were watched by family back home). We paid approximately $500 for both our 6yo mutt and our 2yo labradoodle to stay. Prior to having them boarded, we took them for a day of doggy daycare to make sure they were well acclimated. Based on the initial visit (5h play day) and the reviews, we thought this was a safe place for our dogs to spend the weekend. Unfortunately, it was not. We understand that they do not receive the same attention as they would at home as the staff is caring for multiple pets, but what occurred was essentially animal abuse. Our labradoodle, Luka, gets frequent ear infections due to hair buildup and moisture (common in doodle breads). We sent him with ear cleaner (twice per day, must be wiped out of the ear) and an ear medication to prevent bacterial growth or yeast. We had also ensured that his ears were plucked, cleaned, and dried before dropping him off. We also provided three copies of written instructions as well as verbal instructions to care staff. Upon pickup on Sunday, we looked inside Luka's ears to find that he had chemical burns inside his ear as well as on the outside of his ear - a sign that the ear cleaner and medication were not wiped out of his ear after being applied. Further more, Luka was covered in pee - his paws, his hip area, and his belly. I am not sure if this was his own pee, or pee from another dog, but he was not dropped off on Thursday covered in urine. We understand that dogs may accidentally pee on themselves (or each other) but AT A MINIMUM send the dog home at least rinsed off. Upon bathing him, the water was absolutely filthy. Had the staff called us and let us know that he was covered in urine and offered to wash/groom him - we would have paid any expense. However, no call was made. Not about his ears, and certainly not about the urine he was covered in. My other dog, Meeko, is on doggie prozac for anxiety. Upon drop-off, we provided them with 4 pills and instructions to give him one pill per day (only Friday and Saturday since we were picking up on Sunday and had given him Thursday's). Upon pickup, there were still 4 pills in the container. This means that he was without his medicine Friday and Saturday, and Prozac is something that needs to build up in their system to work. Additionally, we received one photo of each dog for the entire weekend (which I had to request). Seattle Canine Club provided absolutely atrocious care for our two dogs, and we will never visit this establishment again. Additionally, we will be sure to let everyone know about the animal abuse that occurs when you think you are leaving your pets at a 'safe' location.

The lady claimed she ran through the hose. Then I started hearing them yelling at the dogs. Needless to say I never went back. 5 minutes after leaving the review I get a call from the owner Joe telling me this is a false review. I was not happy here and that is why I have a $1000 unused package Joe! False review not! Since you claim you have video and she didn't say shut up I edited the review but it sure sounded like that to me. How about you worry about how your employees are rather than calling people who leave a bad review. I haven't brought her back since October and I have $1000 unused there. I bring her somewhere else now because of my experience there. I am not one to write a review but I understand other people are feeling the way I do so thought I better speak up.

If you care about your dog, please read this…read more I rarely write reviews, but after what my dog went through at this facility, I feel obligated to warn others. I usually leave my dog with family, but they weren't available. I found this place through online research and ignored the red flags -- something I deeply regret. After a short trial weekend, my dog came home with a cut on his nose. They brushed it off and blamed him. Foolishly, I gave them a second chance for a longer stay. When I picked him up, he had a deep wound on his nose, a chipped tooth, and was visibly traumatized. He wasn't the same dog -- withdrawn, scared, and exhausted. When I contacted the owner, she avoided responsibility and offered no real explanation. After pushing for answers, she sent a photo of the small cage he had been kept in -- nothing like what I was told. She even tried to shift the blame onto my dog again. This place was neglectful and unprofessional, and I strongly considered pursuing further action. I would never bring my dog here again. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Your dog deserves better.

To be honest, a lot of the magic is in the client wrangling. The product isn't so much "pet care" as "confidence that your pets are being thoughtfully and attentively cared for by someone that appreciates all their wonderful qualities." There's inherently a certain artifice to the detailed communication, the (high-quality!) photos of gamboling cats, and the kind observations. But boy, I ate it up, and I imagine most other people with pets would too. It's incredibly comforting to know that your animals are in good hands.

The caregivers have always been wonderful, especially more recently when we needed 3 walks in a day during our wedding.

Everything went smoothly and Daphne was happy as she could be to have walkers and friends visiting her throughout the day. The update reports and photos are also nice for peace of mind. We wouldn't hire anyone else for dog walks or daytime care. They're excellent and reliable.

Initially when we moved to West Seattle, I sent Daisy to a more conveniently located daycare. After…read morea few visits, it was noted by my partner who usually never notices the dogs' feelings, that Daisy never quite feels comfortable there. I observed soon after that when I would drop her off, I definitely saw her licking her lips and not look 100% comfortable. Coupled with a staff that seemed inattentive to customers waiting, and would not quite pay attention at drop off, we only went a handful of times. I just started Daisy here at Camp Crockett and she cannot get enough. When we pull up, she starts screaming in the car. When I drop her off, she doesn't even glance back at me! Her wiggly body language to the staff says "HURRY UP, open that door, let me go see my friends!" Daisy is a veteran of multiple different daycares across state lines, so the experience at the other day care came as a surprise--she never disliked any other daycare before. Now that she's at Camp Crockett, I'm comfortable that she's having a blast and feels safe to enjoy herself.
