What Reviews Say

40 reviews analyzed

Pierson Creek Kennels is a family-run facility with overwhelmingly positive reviews praising cleanliness, dog happiness, and caring staff. However, a pattern of owner behavior issues emerges in negative reviewsβ€”several customers report rudeness, defensiveness, and inflexibility. While the facility itself appears excellent and many dogs happily anticipate visits, the owner's demeanor in conflict situations is a recurring complaint that potential customers should consider.
