Staff shoutouts
Worth noting
Physical injuries and hygiene neglect during boarding
“Both dogs came home with horrible scratches, abrasions & cuts, several very deep... We also came home with extra food, which isn’t acceptable. This means that 1 or more, don’t get fed properly.”
Review bombing/Internet bullying
“Be aware that they have been bullied by the internet. So any negative remarks are not what they seem.”
Training methods (Treat-based vs. results)
“They train by treats which isn’t the best way, but it’s the fastest and cheapest so it’s easy money for them.”
Exercise transparency
“This is in direct conflict with what’s been told in the past. They’ve always said that they exercise the dogs daily? So which is it?”
