The walkers were always on time and provided a much needed bathroom, exercise, and food break for my pup. I looked forward to the daily pictures and visit description.

You will not be disappointed.

When I first met Jessica, I appreciated her thoroughness going over material about my cats and asking questions. My cats were immediately drawn to her. The business is also run like a very well-oiled machine. You can pay invoices and get daily reports all in one interface, which is handy for keeping everything in one place. I definitely loved seeing the daily updates, as well. I'd be lucky to find as good of a pet sitter in my new neighborhood!

We turned this dog over to the newington police after feeding, walking, and having her checked for a chip. These found dogs in turn get turned over to Connecticut k-9 education center for temporary housing and care. A woman who claimed to be the owner of Connecticut K-9 center engaged in conversation, she made slanderous accusations stating the dog was dumped by me and my friend, when in fact both of us saved the dog and handed her over to the newington police the evening of March 15th 2025 documented by footage from their lobby camera feed. She was antagonistic and defamatory, contrary to provable facts, this is abnormal and concerning. Worst of all, this type of behavior raises great concern for the safety of the dog we found that ended up in her care. We wouldn't let her take care of a pet rock.

When I brought my 4.5 month old puppy for training class I was told she was too young to do puppy…read moreobedience training and instead it was enrolled in a playtime training. The class consisted of dogs taking turns doing obstacles, then out for a pee break, then off-leash time. The final 10 minutes or so we worked on basic commands. The instructor- Vince, was quiet, gentle and generally uninvolved. He did offer tips for problem behaviors on a one on one basis which was helpful but the class felt more like puppy playtime. I was disappointed that the training part of this was almost non existent. I was told this was to boost their confidence. And socialization. I enrolled in the next class once my puppy aged up- puppy kindergarten. I was excited to try a new instructor, Lynne. Her dog was impeccable trained. I liked her philosophy and mindset during the first class with no dogs. But on the first day with dogs (second class) she offered prong collars to 3 of the 5 dogs in class. I'm not sure if they humans wanted them or felt pressured to out them on. She did not approach me about a prong collar but watching the dogs react to the collar was heartbreaking. During this puppy kindergarten class we were given more commands to work on. The class was different, the dogs were expected to sit on the side of us, different from what Vince taught in previous class. The first class we were doing lots of walking in circles and sitting. A few times my puppy sat and then got up, Lynne asked me what I was going to do about it. I tried to get the dog into a sit again, without saying the word sit more than one time but the more I tried to get her to sit the more she fought against it. So I decided I would practice at home that week. But Lynne singled me out, explained why I should command her to a sit and waited for me to get the puppy in a sit. She wouldn't sit. It was the first day of puppy school. Second class we learned a new skill- down. We were instructed to put the dogs into down, and expect them to stay in the down position until we released them while she spent several minutes helping someone whose dog wouldn't lay. Meanwhile my dog got up- I knew she was restless- she is a puppy after all and this is a new skill. I was thrilled my dog stayed in down for maybe 60 seconds. But when Lynne was finished helping the other dog she looked at me and asked why my dog wasn't in down position. I mean- I these are puppies and a new skill. I felt pretty good about this 60 second down I had. But Lynne was not happy the dog got up. Again- brand new skill that I would work on. But after that class I realized this wasn't for me. My experience seemed like Lynne forgot what it's like to have a puppy. Maybe she is just out of touch with what puppies are expected to do but we dropped out of this class. I felt the expectations were inappropriate for a puppy. Or maybe I'm just a bad dog owner, which is how Lynne made me feel with her comments throughout the two classes I took with her. Either way- I don't recommend this place for dog training.

I love dogs, but Planet Bark is truly run by "dog people" who take it to the next level. They really have gotten to know my dog "as a person" and give him tons of personalized attention, starting with greeting him warmly when he hits the door. When we have a boarding visit they take the time to ask about his routine and do extra things to cheer him up like adding cheese or other treats to his food to make sure he eats when we're away. They've been instrumental in helping to socialize my dog and make him comfortable around other dogs. I can't imagine bringing my dogs anywhere else for daycare or boarding.

First time dog mom, energetic herding puppy, mid pandemic, limited staff that was poorly trained, etc. I almost pulled my dog from their program a few different times over the first few months. I felt that the young staff was not fit to be with my dog and what seemed like no "adult" supervision and they made comments about my dog not listening to them after one day of being there (obviously he wasn't going to listen well to someone he just met). I took him there for boarding one weekend and when I picked him up found that the staff had neglected to feed him lunch one of the days he was there. I also have a bad taste in my mouth from some of the interactions I've had with one of the managers there. HOWEVER, with all of that said, we continued to go and things have gotten much better. I continued to stick it out despite my hesitation because my dog loves going there. The facility is one of the best I've seen. It's very large with many different play areas for the dogs. They also have pools for the dogs and my pup loves water. My dog was also struggling with a few behavioral issues and we've been working with trainer TeeKay and seen huge improvements! There are always new events for the holidays and different parties going on which are fun for both dogs and parents. It's pretty pricy and I feel like they use any opportunity to charge you extra for things, but everything additional is optional. I do also love the staff during the week. The girl at the front desk is so sweet and the staff really seems to care for the dogs. From time to time we still have issues, like being charged for a full day of daycare when we were there for half, or recently the weekend staff removed my dogs collar and then lost it. But all in all I'm very happy that we have continued to go. Unfortunately I see a lot of negative reviews for the grooming but we can only speak (mostly) positively about the experience we've had at the daycare.
