What Reviews Say

65 reviews analyzed

Mountain Dogs Daycare is highly praised for its 'no-crate' philosophy and expansive outdoor space, with many owners reporting their dogs return home happily exhausted. While the facility excels at providing a natural, high-energy environment and accommodating anxious or high-needs dogs, some customers have noted issues with administrative professionalism and inconsistent communication. The owner is deeply involved and passionate, though responses to negative reviews can occasionally lean toward defensive.
