What Reviews Say

15 reviews analyzed

St Martins Dog Training & Boarding Kennels is highly regarded for its staff's expertise, with multiple owners noting that their dogs return home calmer and better behaved than when they arrived. While the facility maintains an excellent reputation for dog care and happiness, there is a single notable instance of friction regarding communication and deposit refunds. Overall, it is a preferred choice for high-energy dogs and owners seeking a knowledgeable, training-focused boarding environment.
