Full disclosure, I'm not an actual client of this business, but did happen to go to the dog park at the same time as them. They brought with them a total of four people and maybe 30 dogs, mostly in the 45-85lbs group. Having worked in animal medicine for some years now, I am always wary of crowded dog parks, because I've seen what can happen when two or more dogs don't get along. That said, when I got to the dog park and saw the Pup Park Shuttle unloading, I almost turned around. But, I have a 10-year old Chow mix and an 11-month old Pyrenees mix so I like when I can bring them to the park and they can get their energy out at their preferred paces (sniffing the entire perimeter and fighting/dancing with other dogs on two legs, respectively). Overall, the dogs were well-mannered and got along, but I was really struck by one employee. After a quick search, I'm assuming the employee was actually owner/founder Baden Jaxen! He was great with the more high energy dogs he brought, constantly keeping them on the move so as not to upset the less social dogs. Moreover, he was picking up every pile of waste he came across and seemed to be keeping an eye on every dog in the park. What really meant a lot to me, was how he picked up on my anxious energy as I was trying to keep my older dog out of the melee. My senior dog likes to get caught up in the social hub periodically but has extremely weak back legs and some internal masses that wouldn't mix well with accidentally getting trampled by a large, happy lab. I'm always the bad guy putting the leash on my big dog to bring him to a quieter place in the park. But Baden clearly noticed what I was doing and seemed to make a genuine attempt to divert some of the more energetic dogs away from my guy's path. Honestly, as someone who is always on high alert at the dog park, I was awestruck but how calm, friendly, and professional Baden is while being responsible for so many pups! After being at the park with them for nearly an hour, I am definitely considering signing my younger guy up for it one day! So long as Baden is in the driver seat, that is! read more
