Worth noting

Owner rudeness/confrontational behavior with customers

โ€œMichelle has 0 customer service skills. Michelle you're dealing with your customers who make your business run, be nice and stop yelling and almost attacking your customers.โ€

Strict pickup policies with threatening language

โ€œthe owner will threaten to not give the dog back that night. I honestly thought I was going to have to call the police.โ€

Failure to communicate dog health issues to owners

โ€œMichelle made absolutely no attempt to contact us, or to get medical attention for a dog that was clearly in painโ€

Potential breed discrimination

โ€œas soon as I mentioned my dog was a mix breed, she kept asking if he was a Pitbull. I said we weren't sure what breed he is because he is a rescue and she kept saying that if he didn't 'behave' they would put him in a crate for the night.โ€

No visitor policy during daycare hours

โ€œOwner told me no one is allowed to view the dogs in between pick up and drop off bc the dogs will all start barking.โ€

Strict pickup/drop-off policies and owner confrontations about timing(5 mentions)

โ€œBE NICE, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!โ€

Owner demeanor - defensive, rude, or aggressive(5 mentions)

โ€œsuper unprofessional and rude to their employeesโ€

Communication gaps regarding dog wellbeing(2 mentions)

โ€œWhy didn't Michelle call us to find out if we forgot her pain meds?โ€
