This was the 2nd time we took our 2 dogs here (both dogs are midsize. Both dog boarding stays were for 5 days/4 nights.
During "check-in" our smaller dog clearly remembered being boarded back in July, 2014, because she quickly sprinted down the hall (to greet the other dogs). We never saw her again at "check-in.
Our 2nd dog (larger) is more shy, but she also strolled away (never saw her again either during "check-in).
It's clear that dogs love this place. The facilities are clean, fresh, & include a daily treat w/one of Marti's homemade dog biscuits. I thought during my first time there that there are no other dogs around, as it was so quiet. But then, I could hear movement & greeting/barking (that was our smaller dog), then it quickly got quiet as dogs all quickly settled in.
Check-in only took about 30 seconds, but we stayed & sat w/Marti for a while. Marti is very personable & so knowledgable (patiently answering my dog questions). She also knows a lot about Franklin, which is helpful. Gloria also is knowledgable re dogs & Franklin (and both of these women are hysterically funny, though nether realize that they are).
Picked up both dogs 4 days later, (the dogs did not seem to want to leave). Husband responds: "Our dogs are hurting my feelings." End Result? 3 women now laughing hysterically (yes, he was serious).
