What Reviews Say
100 reviews analyzedQuinebaug Kennels (QK Dogs) is overwhelmingly regarded as a premier dog training facility in New England, with 74% of reviews giving 5 stars. Customers praise the exceptional training results, knowledgeable staff (especially Carlos, Chris, and Travis), and beautiful facility. However, there are serious red flags including multiple reports of kennel cough outbreaks with alleged misrepresentation to customers, a dog contracting Giardia, unexplained injuries, and one alarming incident where the owner reportedly screamed at customers. Communication issues and difficulty reaching staff are recurring complaints. The facility excels in training outcomes but needs improvement in transparency and customer service during adverse situations.
