She reported that when they went there for an unannounced investigation, everything was to code so at that point, there wasn't much more we could do. I'm just glad that they took it serious enough to look into. As I had mentioned in my original post, which you can read below, the owners will try to twist things and put the blame back on the dog's owners. From my post on Nextdoor (if you live in Buck County, you can look up my name on Nextdoor to see the post from 2 years ago and read through the many responses of people sharing their shocking experiences with Holiday House), I have since learned that lack of care - to say the least - is not atypical. People posted about wrong dogs being returned, dogs coming back traumatized, dogs being returned extremely ill, and even one poster sharing that their dog died in while being boarded there. If you care for your pet, do not use this place. It's been a couple of years since our horrible experience boarding our dog there, and to this day, we are all still scarred by it and the memory of what our dog looked like when we picked her up, the thousands of dollars we spent to get her heatlhy, and her health issues she suffered from because of their lack of care for her basic well being. Also, our credit card company even reimbursed us for the fees we paid to Holiday House - again based on photos, timeline and medical records from out vet. They agreed that Holiday House did not provide the care they promised us.

Because there was visible blood on his head and in his fur, we took him to the veterinarian immediately. The examination found infected bite wounds on both sides of his mouth, infected puncture wounds on his legs, inflamed skin, hair loss, an injury on the top of his head, and skin scraped from his nose. K9 Resorts management said their technicians had reported no issues and that they would review the footage. They later told us it showed nothing out of the ordinary. At a minimum, pet owners should be able to expect attentive care when boarding a dog. We did not receive that care from K9 Resorts. Our veterinarian confirmed that the puncture wounds had occurred earlier in the stay, yet they were neither cleaned nor treated, and we never received a call. K9 Resorts' policy warns that "nips" may happen, but owners should understand that this apparently can include serious puncture wounds without treatment or notification. The lack of care is what concerns and angers me most. We trusted that our dog would be kept safe, and that trust was broken. We cannot recommend K9 Resorts-Chalfont or the management company responsible for its protocols. Seven days after his stay, our dog is still taking antibiotics and NSAIDs for pain. His injuries remain visible, although they appear to be healing. Would not recommend.

Besides taking care of my wife and her health care needs I was running the ship alone. Several friends who were unable by distance or time to help physically helped monetarily to give us a break. We have great friends! One evening as I was getting ready for bed, I posted in the Bucks County Equestrian page that I needed some evening chores help several nights a week for short term. Owner of Nickers and Howls Pet Services Nicole saw it and jumped to PM me with information about her services. Two days later I interviewed her and liked her right away. She went through the chores with me and when I asked if she'd like to bring my mare in, she said yes without hesitation and confidently put her halter on and walked her inside the barn for her dinner. We started with four days that first week and by Thursday I asked if she'd be interested in doing M-F. I do the morning chores before work and she puts the barn to bed and sets me up for the next day with filling water and feed, cleaning the stall, collecting eggs and all the little things that need doing. She reminds me when we're getting low on things like cat food or meal worms She does a great job, remembers everything I ask of her, thinks things through on her own and does one hell of a bang-up job and gives me peace of mind. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone who needs dog walking, (BTW she comes in and chats/updates us each evening and my dogs adore her!) pet sitting, daily check-ins if you go away or just all around help in their barn or home.

Ross Mill Farm has been a secret haven since originally started before the Revolutionary War in 1740. The lane is narrow and full of dips and rough riding, but so very worth the effort to find, especially if you love adaptive reuse of an historic property turned into a rescue home and boarding facility exclusively for Vietnamese Pot Belly Pigs. 180+ residents live there now, either from broken homes or as paying customers, housed there because it is simply the best place on the planet for happy, healthy PBPs. The 30 acres are idyllic for humans, too, but the facilities are designed by the owner from the perspective of an intelligent animal that stands little more that 18 inches from the ground. To truly interact with the residents you really have to get down on your knees, because these cuties lack the ability to look up at you. So, the world is very short, but expansive at Ross Mill Farm. The green lawns and gardens are perfectly suited for a pig. And, for people who love them. This amazing patch of heaven on the Little Neshaminy Creek is as magic as you want it to be. I found it easy to get lost in the peaceful magic of the moment. Make a donation and help it last forever.

After more than a year, Ross Mill Farm has finally reopened! COVID guidelines are being enforced,…read moreyou cannot walk around the place on your own like before. Instead, tours will be given. However, they are not available/given every weekend, so make sure to call beforehand. The maximum group size cannot exceed six people. And the requested payment is $50/group. Keep in mind the farm is a non-profit organization, and they have been closed over a year, so your $50 would really go a long way in helping support their efforts. Our group of three followed Susan, the founder, who gave us an in-depth tour of the farm. Even though we've been there a few times already, we were learning so much about the different types of pigs, and the farm's history. We were allowed to pet the pigs, but only the ones specified by Susan, as some pigs are just not as friendly and could bite. The whole tour lasted an hour-ish. Towards the end of the tour, Susan let us play with the smaller pigs in the larger pen for a good amount of time which we all loved. Looking forward to our next visit, and upcoming events in the future!

It's important for me to make progress with my dog, so I Googled alternate options and stumbled upon Alex's page. I called him on a Friday and he picked up the phone right away. We spoke for a while about my needs and he came out the following Tuesday for what was supposed to be a 2-hour visit. I fell in love with him immediately, he is not only so personable and likable on his own, but he really takes the time to LISTEN to what you need and work on those things right away. I had mentioned my priorities to my previous trainer, but I found that she was teaching my dog commands that didn't actually accomplish what I was after. In our first meeting, Alex worked on SO MANY of my priorities. He got my dog to go into her crate on command, taught her to "stay," showed me how to "walk with" my dog better on her leash, and (using a 30' leash outdoors) started working on recall with her. We were so immersed in what was going on that Alex started to go a little bit over our time, but he didn't want to stop because we were making such great progress. I told him if he wanted to give me a third hour right then and there that I was prepared to pay for it, and he did!! I learned a lot of things from Alex myself during our first meeting, like how to employ the use of "deltas" (which my old trainer never once mentioned) and how non-verbal cues are arguably more important than verbal ones. Again, my old trainer actually discouraged me from using hand motions, but once incorporating them into my routine I noticed that my dog was much more compliant than she had been. Another positive difference between my old trainer and Alex is he really takes the time to teach you why he's doing what he's doing, and encourages you to participate. My old trainer just taught my dog a command and had me replicate/practice when she left. Alex really makes you feel like you are a part of the teaching process. After our private session Alex recommended some "Small Group Therapy" for my pup. He came at noon on a Thursday to pick up my dog and she proceeded to go on a several-hour outing with his two chihuahuas and a dog he was fostering. The entire time he was out with her he was recording and sharing videos on an iCloud album. It was INCREDIBLE to not only see everything that was happening, but to hear him narrate why he was doing the things he was doing. I could not get enough of his videos and felt like I was there during the session. On top of Alex's excellent communication, punctuality, reliability, friendliness, competency, and effectiveness, his rates are OUTRAGEOUS in the BEST way! I truly believe he is under-charging for his services. I can get three hours with Alex for less than I paid for one hour with my prior trainer, and I feel much better about the work that is done during that timeframe. I adore Alex, and most importantly, what he is doing works. He really gets into the mind of your dog, and has such a wonderful way of connecting with them and their needs. I am elated to keep our work going - my pup has lots more Small Group Therapy outings in her future and it's wonderful that I have the option to use him one-on-one to teach her even more commands in the house. One day I hope to move on from essential commands to more fun ones, like "roll over" or "go get X toy."
