I liked Hounds Town when I first started going there earlier last year. My opinion has changed hugely after many red flags. I noticed one of my dogs would be too scared to go into hounds town once she saw the people working there. I asked if she's been doing ok at daycare and they couldn't tell me her behavior as of late which is strange. I'd think it'd be clear to see if a dog is enjoying themselves or not under their care.
Then, I brought my dogs to daycare after a few months of not going. Within 3 hours of dropping them off, one of my dogs was attacked. I got a text from the GM claiming that my dog started the fight, bit one of the employees and that it was his second strike on record. My dog never had a strike prior so this was the first lie. Then, when I reviewed the footage of the fight, it was clear the GM never reviewed it until I asked to watch it. Clearly, the other dog attacked my dog, bite the employee and continued to go after my dog as he was trying to get away. The other dog bite my dog's face and pinned him down by his neck. My dog was the victim, not the instigator. Second lie. They examined my dog for wounds and claimed he was ok. I get my dog home and find a puncture wound on his face. THIRD lie.
Once I got a hold of the owner, he paid for my dog's medical bills and fired the majority of the staff involved. I asked if they reported the dog bite since an employee had to go to the hospital and the owner texted that "Colorado is laxed on biting laws" before he deleted it. I happen to have had the text thread already opened. FOURTH lie.
As much as I appreciate Hounds Town making things somewhat right after this whole mess, I do think I need to speak out about this incident in hopes that no one else's dog goes through what mine did. read more
