What Reviews Say

57 reviews analyzed

The Canine Clubhouse is highly regarded for its personalized care, particularly for rescue dogs and those with anxiety. Owners Caroline and Korey are frequently praised for their passion, professional communication, and the inclusion of unique enrichment activities like 'arts and crafts' and skateboard training. While one reviewer raised concerns about facility odor and crating time, the vast majority of clients report their dogs return home 'happy and exhausted,' often citing the facility's Instagram stories as a major plus.

Worth noting

Unannounced use of muzzles on anxious rescue dogs

“she muzzled a rescue dog whos never been muzzled before and let me know when I picked them up , instead of calling me”

Odor and cleanliness concerns

“The smell is apparent at drop off... She smelled strongly of unclean, unwashed dogs as if the bedding in the crates and facilities had not been cleaned for weeks”

Over-crating/Lack of exercise

“I began to suspect that she was crated much longer during the day than the 2 hour nap time.”
