I was very disappointed with my experience during an evaluation visit at the Novato facility…read more My goal was simple: to give Harley, my 6-month-old male miniature doodle, an opportunity to meet and play with other dogs a couple of days a week. I dropped him off around 9:00 a.m. and was contacted around 11:00 a.m. and asked to pick him up. I was told that someone in the back had determined that Harley was not suitable for their program because he "did not participate with other dogs." The reception staff was professional and courteous when I dropped off and picked up Harley. However, I was very disappointed that I was not given the opportunity to speak with a qualified staff member who had actually observed Harley. I was told only that he did not "participate," but I received no explanation of what that meant, what they had observed, whether Harley was anxious, shy, simply uninterested, or whether there was some other concern. To my understanding, Harley was not causing problems or misbehaving; he simply was not participating with the other dogs during the evaluation. If that behavior made him unsuitable for the program, I would have appreciated a professional explanation and perhaps some guidance about whether or how that behavior could be addressed. I believe good communication is especially important when evaluating a young dog. I left feeling that the decision had been made without giving me enough information to understand what happened or how to help Harley. More information and the opportunity to speak with the person who evaluated him would have been greatly appreciated.

My dog Iris and I are regular clients of Planet Canine. I feel the need to post today and update my…read moreprevious review to express my continued STRONG support of this small, local business. This is in direct response to the person who recently posted about his wife feeling uncomfortable around one employee, Chris. First I'd like to say that I have been going to the Planet for years through several generations of dogs. I love the service I get there and how good they are to my dog. The owner Steve is super nice and he and his employees absolutely love my dogs. You get such a personal touch there and there is very little turnover among employees. Steve hires dedicated workers like Jordan who covers all morning shifts and some afternoon, and Chris who was (but because of that review now no longer is) covering a couple of afternoon shifts. He stepped in for another great employee James when James hurt his leg. Chris comes regularly. He's on time. He's very good with the dogs. Folks, this is a gem of a business. The employees are not transient people who don't care about you or your pet. They offer very hands on service and your dog will tell you how much they love going there. Second, Chris didn't deserve this. He is a very friendly guy. He is not inappropriate or scary. I'm a woman. I've met scary and it isn't Chris. He overshares a bit, yes, and he talks about his personal life, yes. Sometimes you just want to get your dog and go. I'm not minimizing the experience of this one customer if she was uncomfortable. But these are not high paying careers these guys have. It's a hard job with no thanks surrounded all day by smelly, barking, pooping dogs! They take great care of our animals and I am so, so grateful for everything they do for me. And for the fact that Steve runs a stable business with workers who like him. They like our dogs. And they work damn hard for us so I can go downtown 3x a week and make a living without worry that my dog is at home eating the couch. I'm very sorry to see Chris go over this. I liked him and liked hearing about his baby boy, his car troubles, his life. I will miss seeing him on Monday evenings and I wish him well wherever he winds up after this. I will continue to patronize the Planet because it's just so much more personable and caring than the expensive box places that churn through dogs and workers without caring about anything but making a buck off you. That is not Planet Canine or anything Steve or his workers would ever tolerate.

Robert and Jonah have been so wonderful with him- even putting up with his puppy car sickness he thankfully grew out of. I have also done some training with Robert which set the strong fundamental baseline for Reggie's reactivity (only with us, never on his pack walks). Nice reminder it is time to re-book! Getting Reggie into the pack with sir walks a lot has been such a god send since day one as I returned to the office a few days a week. He is out on hikes and having adventures around the gorgeous Marin county open spaces. I have to add that Jonah went above and beyond last week. I was out of town for work, and when Jonah came to pick Reggie up he smelled something off. He went into the kitchen and noticed a burner on. He saved us from what could have had a tragic ending. For this, we are eternally grateful. Thank you to both Robert and Jonah for being such a wonderful part of Reggie's life and ours! We are so thankful we found you.
