What Reviews Say

146 reviews analyzed

Gone Wild Kennels is exceptionally well-regarded for its 'dog camp' atmosphere, featuring massive outdoor play areas and a highly skilled owner, Dave, often described as a 'dog whisperer.' Customers frequently praise the rigorous screening process for social compatibility and the daily photo/video updates provided via social media. While there is a single mention of a breed restriction and one report of illness, the overwhelming consensus highlights a clean, safe, and professional environment where dogs return home happy and exhausted.
