What Reviews Say
48 reviews analyzedThe facility shows a stark divide between highly satisfied customers (32 five-star reviews) praising staff kindness, dog happiness, and good value, and dissatisfied reviewers (11 one-star reviews) reporting serious concerns including potential abuse (heard staff screaming at dogs), grooming injuries, and poor staff conduct. The most concerning issues involve the loud chaotic environment, allegations of staff yelling/cursing at dogs, and a grooming injury that required a $144 vet bill which was not covered. Positive reviews frequently mention Stephany as a standout trainer, with many customers being repeat clients for years. The facility excels in dog happiness and communication but has significant safety and staff conduct issues that need addressing.
