What Reviews Say
169 reviews analyzedParkland Kennels presents a starkly polarized reputation, functioning as a highly effective but 'old-school' training and grooming center while receiving grave allegations regarding its boarding safety. While many long-term clients praise the staff's friendliness and the success of their obedience classes, a significant number of recent reviews report severe medical neglect, extreme weight loss, and unsanitary, cramped conditions. Potential boarders should be aware of the 'no-contact' policy and the facility's aged appearance, while those seeking training should be comfortable with balanced/dominance-based methods including prong collars.
