Worth noting
Training method concerns - reviewer witnessed trainer throw soft towel at dog to stop biting, described as hitting
โI had to watch Matt literally HIT my little puppy and THROW OBJECTS at her in front of me as a form of discipline.โ
Grooming neglect during boarding - dog returned matted with stickers in fur
โmy puppy was not brushed or combed even once during the 1 week, as a result his hair was badly matted, he also came back with lots and lots of soft stickers in his fur.โ
Dogs spending significant time in crates during day
โit seems the dogs that they board spend a lot of time in their crates during the day, judging from whenever I came in and witnessed all the dogs just sitting in their crates and not being able to roam free.โ
