Do not take your dog here, you risk them being traumatized and or developing behavior issues.
I brought a fully trained dog, that goes three days a week to two other daycare facilities and to the dog park weekly. He thrives in all environments with all dogs.
When I asked his trainer and staff at both facilities how they thought he'd do in a larger space with more room to run they all agreed he'd do great anywhere, he's built amazing social skills over a year of training and socializing.
I called to check on him and was told he was kept on a lead the entire time and that he kept getting excited when they tried to take him off. Of course he got excited, to finally get to run around and actually play, the exact reason he was there!
Duh, dogs get stressed out on a lead, especially when all the other dogs are not on a lead. Most facilities don't even allow dogs to greet on leash. Being kept on a lead will make dogs reactive and build up their frustration.
And of course a dog is going to get excited, they go to daycare to run and play with other dogs, not be constrained and blocked from being a dog and doing what is natural for them.
I'm sure he was very, very frustrated and stressed out! He came home very uneasy and literally hanging his head.
The staff is unqualified, literally! There are no trainers or behaviorists on staff, just people standing around talking. With what appears to be far too many dogs per person.
They put my dog through that trauma because they don't know how to read or work with dogs clearly!
I wrote an honest review on their Facebook page and they blocked me, they're trying to prevent people from receiving feedback from other dog owners, that is extremely dangerous! Only people with something to hide to do this!
I believe they are endangering dogs in many ways, they said they have dog fights and dogs get hurt if they don't hyper manage them. No other facility I've gone to has dog fights. read more
