What Reviews Say
381 reviews analyzedLa Niche is highly polarized; while a vast majority of regulars praise the facility for its high-energy socialization and excellent training staff (specifically Gabriel), a significant minority of one-star reviews report serious safety and hygiene concerns. Common positive themes include dogs returning home exhausted and happy, whereas negative themes center on kennel cough outbreaks, dogs returning covered in urine, and defensive management responses to criticism. It appears to be a high-intensity environment that suits social, high-energy dogs but has struggled with consistency in grooming and medical safety during peak periods.
