What Reviews Say

69 reviews analyzed

Windham House is highly regarded by a loyal base of repeat customers who praise the owners' deep expertise in animal behavior and the facility's cleanliness. While most pets leave happy and 'worn out' from play, the facility maintains very strict operational boundaries regarding hours and policies. The owners are highly engaged online but tend to respond to negative feedback with a defensive and dismissive tone, often challenging the validity of the reviewers' claims.

Worth noting

Allegation of physical abuse (whipping)

β€œThey’ve been known to whip dogs when they bark they don’t care about your dogs”

Dog fight/bite incident resulting in training charges

β€œI received a bill for training after another one of there dogs bit my dog and she defended herself.”

Strict/Inflexible scheduling(2 mentions)

β€œAll of a sudden our early/late drop off was a huge issue... even saying that if we were delayed by even 1 min, 'the gates would be locked'”

Billing/Pricing transparency(2 mentions)

β€œThe charges are per day which is misleading. For example- drop off Monday evening and pickup Tuesday morning would be 2 days”

Health/Kennel Cough

β€œThe first time I have ever sent my dog to a kennel overnight... and she came home with kennel cough :(”
