my dog, a 13 year old Westie, has been going to Dog Dayz for about4 years. He goes to doggue day…read morecare twice a week and has been groomed numerous times. I have always found the staff caring and knowledgeable. I do not get him in the full Westie cut, with the full skirt, as he just gets too dirty, but they do a great job of clipping him down to a puppy cut, shorter in summer and a bit longer in winter. A couple of years ago my dig became ill. they called and cuddled him, separated from the other dogs until I picked him up. He ended up needing surgery for a ruptured abscess on his liver. They called the next day to ask how he was doing. I love the staff and the service.

When I expressed my dissatisfaction they defended themselves and never even offered an apology. Now my pups coat could be damaged: and he's not quite 2 years old. They never even called before shaving him. I agreed to shorter. There is a huge difference in shorter and shaved to the skin.

Kay is absolutely incredible. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable and informative. She is…read morevery down to earth and has such great energy that draws all dogs to her. She takes the time to learn about your unique dog and their needs as she accepts all behaviors, even reactive or nervous dogs. Kay discusses with the owners how they can best support their dog while getting groomed and encourages both the dog and owners throughout the experience. Not only is her process effective, but it is also fast, priced well and leaves everyone with a smile.

Plus, I wanted to know if the endless invited (and uninvited) advice about dogs and claws were myths or not. Kay blasted a number of myths right out of the water, and showed me how it's done! My boy was such a happy camper that I knew it didn't have to be a burden anymore, and I knew what to look for to prevent any mishaps. I highly recommend Kay. 100%! Thank you Kay!

I have taken the puppy kindergarten and obedience level 1 at Carolark. I found the puppy…read morekindergarten to be excellent but after taking my dog to obedience level 1, I decided not to take my dog back. Unfortunately, your experience varies greatly depending on the instructor that you get. The instructor who taught puppy kindergarten was very positive and accepting of the unique personalities of each individual dog, and provided tips and tricks to deal with specific behaviours. It was helpful and the puppies had a good time as well. The owner of Carolark taught us in level 1 and I found her both critical and judgmental. My sister was also in the class with her dog and actually stopped going to class part way through because of the owner's negative and narrow-minded attitude. Going to class was something I began to dread each week, as I wondered what I would be scolded for next. We passed the class because I put in the work and time as any owner who takes time to do a class would, but it was a time of self-doubt in my journey of responsible dog ownership. I would recommend that if you have an easy going dog, you might be ok at Carolark; but if your dog is a bit of a goofball or has high energy, or if there are some problem behaviours you are looking to get help with, I would choose another school.

I've taken my puppy to the puppy classes, level I obedience and we are now registered for level II…read moreobedience. Don't get me wrong, the previous poster isn't wrong, there were times I felt judged and as if I was being scolded for being a new puppy mom. I left my ego at the door though (as I had to! I DIDN'T know what I was doing)They were always direct in their corrections, and were always quick to tell me and my puppy when we were doing well. After each class if I had questions they were happy to answer them, from crate training, to housebreaking, to the jumping and nipping that we're still struggling with they have always had great suggestions. I went from having a very crazy puppy, who would fly around the house, do whatever he wanted, jumped and nipped, pulled like crazy to a sweet mannered puppy (aside from his excitement with new people which were working on!) who walks nicely on a leash and looks to me for directions on everything. Carolark didn't do this alone, there was A LOT of work involved at home to follow up on what we learned so that he got the consistency he deserved so he wasn't lost. They are very well informed people though, and clearly dog lovers who are teaching people how to communicate with their dogs. I'm happy with my choice in Carolark..

Can't say enough good things about this place. First of all Debbie the owner is one of the nicest…read morepeople you can meet. She has a true love for the dogs that are in her care. We have been bringing our dogs here for several years now. At first we were having a hard time finding a place that understood how to work with our Rotti. But as soon as we brought her to Keshet everything clicked. Debbie made us feel very confident and relaxed that our dog would be well taken care of and loved. Our Rotti clicked instantly with the staff and was very happy. Staff is great. We love getting the email post cards while we are away showing our dogs having fun. This is the best place in the Ottawa area for large breed dogs. A lot of room on the grounds for the larger dogs to move around and get exercise. Large, clean rooms for the dogs. Keshet gets from me.
