And yes…read morethings can happen, it's dogs playing with dogs, they can get rough and they can get small scratches and stuff, but all I know is that when my little girl gets up, she jumps out of bed and has a fit to get to daycare. I can barely keep her in the car as I'm pulling into the parking lot. So, I say forget the bad reviews and listen to your baby. If they don't like it, they'll tell you. But if you pull up and they are trying to jump out the window to get inside, take them. And keep in mind, the people there aren't taking care of you, they're taking care of your dog... so if you feel their responses are not what you feel is appropriate, give them some slack because their responses to your dog are wonderful. And isn't that really all that matters?

I am writing this review with an extremely heavy heart. I have been taking my babies here for years…read moreand in the beginning(with Dr Krauss) they did a wonderful job but the care has steadily declined over the years with almost no contact with an actual Vet in the last couple of years. After taking my dog in and her getting a clean bill of health on June 8th on June 19th I had to take her back in for excessive bleeding in her mouth, thinking maybe she had an infected tooth we were given the crushing news that she had an aggressive tumor growing in her jaw. We were told of our few options, and we went home with a couple of prescriptions and agonized over what to do. After spending a day or two crying, having to watch my poor baby continuously bleeding from her mouth(at times heavily) we sadly made the decision to end her suffering. Wanting her to go peacefully, at home and in her own bed My husband spent days building her a box and digging a grave (in the rain) for her forever home. We went in on the 23rd and tried to make an appointment for June 26th but we were told they could not be here until June 27th so we spent a very emotional week waiting for what we hoped would be a peaceful transition but what we endured was an excruciating ordeal that I'm not sure we will ever recover from. After taking care of my baby for years and knowing her size and weight they neglected to bring enough tranquilizer to put her to sleep. She was terrified and when they tried to give it to her she started to get up and the vet just jabbed it into her, making her cry out in pain. Instead of maybe leaving the room to let her calm down they waited a few minutes and preceded to give her the next 2 shots as my husband held her, I had to look into those terrified eyes while they did this. The only words from the vet (Dr Knick) was "she's gone" and the young lady with her mumbled "sorry for your loss" as they walked out the door. I am sharing my story because I don't want anyone else to have to endure this. Maggie gave us almost 10 years of unconditional love and I had to watch her leave here in terror instead of peace and I don't know if we will ever get over that look in her eyes, she deserved so much better than that!

Some six months ago, our dog Max, a four-year old Beagle, was a morbidly obese dog and causing…read moreproblems around our apartment complex due to his issues with house training. Despite our different attempts to get him healthy and to properly train him in all the most basic of dog skills, it was quite evident that we needed to reach out to caring professionals who could help all of us. Ultimately, this meant temporarily placing him in a situation which would help us help him return to the healthy little 8-week puppy we loved with all our hearts. My wife and I, and of course, Max, needed a fresh start to get back on the path toward a healthy lifestyle. I researched the issue and found out about a viable solution, Dancing Creek Farm, a long-term boarding and training located outside of Danville, Virginia. So, we made the difficult decision to hand over the responsibilities of Max's health and general well-being to Tamara and Dakota and the rest of the Dancing Creek team to provide Max the means of not only shedding his unhealthy weight, but also to go back to the drawing board to relearn how to follow commands and improve his self-control and discipline. I did the communicating with Dancing Creek throughout Max's stay and saw that Dancing Creek was not just a viable solution, but a godsend for Max. I could see that Tamara and Dakota understood dogs and how to give them the help they needed, whatever that might be. In the four months that Max was at Dancing Creek, the wonderful team of Tamara and Dakota, the owners of Dancing Creek Farm, and their staff, helped Max lose thirty-two pounds and trained him to improve his discipline and self-control. They crafted a diet and exercise plan unique to Max, which surely couldn't have been easy when caring for eighty other dogs. It turned his life around. He's never been happier. We've been back home with Max for a week and see a more confident, better-trained dog who has a new lease on life. This is making a huge difference, not just in Max's life, but in the functioning of our family. We've gotten to know Tamara and Dakota through Max's journey. We really respect their dedication to the animals and the hard work they put into to the health and well-being of the dogs at Dancing Creek. Tamara and Dakota and Team really care about this work. That really matters. In fact, it makes all the difference. Because of our gratitude, we will certainly be keeping track of all the other dogs at Dancing Creek. In addition, we want to thank the Dancing Creek community. They rallied around Max during his journey and supported him and us. We are so appreciative of the love they showed Max. (I can't tell you how much we enjoyed the Facebook, IG videos and photos that chronicled Max's journey.) We are also so excited for Dancing Creek, as they plan to spread their love for dogs with a non-profit for dogs who are of an advanced age. In conclusion, from Tamara and Dakota to the staff who worked so hard, we can never repay what you given Max and our family. It goes without saying that not all aspects of working with dogs is glamorous,as any pet owner knows. The DCF Team has shown that the work they do in this rural southern Virginia community is more to them than work. It's a calling to serve. This calling serves both the dogs and their owners. We thank you and salute you all#Namaste

I cannot recommend this facility more! There are very few long-term boarding facilities available…read morein the US and im sure even fewer that are as amazing as Dancing Creek Farms. The cabins are not only heated and cooled but incredibly spacious. The grounds are extremely well taken care of and provide ample running space for pups during their outings. And the people who work here are so incredibly caring. I feel thankful every day that we have found this amazing space. My moms dogs have been here since around May of 2025 and they are so loved and taken care of, it helps ease our hearts knowing how well they are being treated at Dancing Creek Farm. If you need a long or short term boarding, this is absolutely the best place to go.

However, recently I purchased an add-on collar for a 2nd dog on my PetSafe in-ground containment system. The product looked identical to what I needed, but was not compatible. The store refused to allow me to return it because the package was opened, even though I had a receipt and it was within one week of purchase. They won't accept returns on anything electronics, even if completely unused. They told me to call PetSafe, but the manufacturer won't accept it because I didn't purchase directly. I'm now out $160, unless I can recoup some funds via ebay. I've primarily been shopping there for the last couple years only to support a local business. I really can't believe they have left me hanging on this, rather than just accept the product and deal with the back office work of handling a return. When I conveyed that I just like supporting someone local, the clerk responded with, "you ARE supporting us [with this sale], we just can't take it back because the package is opened. Give PetSafe a call." What a joke. Feel free to be a patron, but you better know what you're purchasing because they ultimately don't care.
