What Reviews Say

36 reviews analyzed

Dog District (now operating as The Gold Leash) receives overwhelmingly positive reviews with all 36 reviews giving 5 stars. Customers consistently praise the caring staff who know dogs by name, the clean facility, excellent communication with photo updates, and the individualized attention given to each dog's needs. The transition from the old company appears to have been handled well, with many long-term customers (2-3 years) continuing to use the service. One isolated complaint about pricing and employee management exists amid near-universal praise.
