What Reviews Say

329 reviews analyzed

The Gold Leash is highly regarded for its attentive staff and ability to handle high-energy or anxious dogs through structured playgroups and enrichment. Customers frequently praise the 'Furever Reports' and the facility's cleanliness, though some express frustration over a-la-carte pricing for basic updates and meal preparation. While the vast majority of experiences are glowing, a small subset of reviews mentions concerns regarding staff turnover and defensive communication from ownership during billing disputes.

Worth noting

Alleged unprofessional behavior/confrontation from ownership

ā€œThe owner then proceeded with giving me a call to scream at me... I’m still in shock from his screaming.ā€

Injury during grooming

ā€œWhat I was not told was that my dog would receive a bonus treatment of a bloody paw for that added service.ā€

Pricing and 'Nickel and Diming'(5 mentions)

ā€œLeaving a lower review due to the nickel and diming of customers. $5/meal if you don't individually bag each meal. Extra charge for sending updates.ā€

Staff Turnover

ā€œOver the last 6 months there has been a huge staff turn over. It seems like a new staff member is getting trained each time.ā€
