What Reviews Say

133 reviews analyzed

Dog-Gone Fun is overwhelmingly beloved by customers with 94% 5-star reviews. The facility excels in staff friendliness, dog happiness, and training programs. However, there are serious red flags including 2 allegations of abuse and incidents where dogs were expelled or isolated without proper owner communication. The owner responds professionally to most reviews within 1-2 days. Long-term customers (some for 6+ years) praise the facility as a second home for their dogs, though a small number of negative experiences suggest inconsistent handling of behavioral issues.

Worth noting

Dog allegedly abused at facility

โ€œMy dog was abused at this daycare. He has been to several different dog daycares and has never once had an issue.โ€

Dog expelled/kicked out without proper notification

โ€œWe were told upon pickup after a weekend away that our dog 'had a hard time' and then we were asked to not return.โ€

Dog left alone in isolation without owner notification

โ€œThey told us she bounced from group to group eventually putting her in an area all by herself for the rest of the weekend. No one called to let us know.โ€

Dog crated for hours unexpectedly

โ€œThey put him in a create for hours until I came to pick him up. He was traumatized.โ€

Nail trim causing pain/injury

โ€œThey also told us this has been 'a pattern with her' which for the record, we were never notified of prior to this. In addition, they clipped her nails down way to far so she is now in pain.โ€

Rude staff interaction at check-in

โ€œI was greeted by an employee who rudely told me my dog had not been registered through their Ginger app.โ€

Training class schedule changes

โ€œWould get five stars if there weren't so many unanticipated schedule changes for class.โ€

Lack of follow-up on training information

โ€œI asked twice for information on training and never got a call back.โ€
