So far, have had a pleasant experience at Kennelwood. My girls seemed calm and not so hyper when they came out, and initially I got a full tour of the place, so that put my mind at ease. The people there are so friendly, and everyone seems to have a great knowledge of doggie behavior and they take care of you when checking in or out.

I have been taking my dogs to Kennelwood at Clarkson for over 15 years. Today was my last day. They have steadily gone from good care to indifferent care. The turnover is high and I'm not sure really who is in charge there. The customer service is non existent. After being turned away today for a scheduled bath and grooming for my two dogs, they said they only had down for a bath, no attempt was made to reconcile their mistake or apologize.

It has become a factory where they bring in dogs early morning in mass, no scheduled times and hold the dog in a cage all day until 4:00. They gladly will take the dogs out if the cages if you pay for a day of doggie daycare! It has become a TRUST issue for me leaving my dogs there. THERE ARE MANY OTHER DOG GROOMERS IN THE AREA! I will never recommend Kennelwood again and would encourage others to think twice before using them. Deborah S

My dog loves day camp. The staff at Kennelwood are so kind, and always greet him by name when we come in for drop off. At the end of the day, he doesn't want to leave. We have also used the grooming and photography services with excellent results.

I have a male French bulldog who is a year old. A friend of mine recommended Kevin to me for training. Hugo's problem behaviors that we wanted addressed were: listening when called (he can be quite stubborn), jumping on guests, and learning social cues when playing with other dogs. After meeting with the Kevin for the consultation visit, he recommended Hugo completing the the three week training where Hugo would attend daycare to work on the social cue behaviors and also one-on-one training throughout the day.

After completing the three weeks, the only regret we have is not having Hugo go through training with Kevin sooner! Kevin really is a dog whisperer. It is evident he truly cares about your dog and he is wonderful at teaching you how to continue to train and work with your dog at home. Hugo is a changed dog by he's very well behaved and he's also happier now. He listens and knows commands. He doesn't jump on guests and picks up on social cues from other dogs now too. I am so pleased with the outcome of his training and I highly recommend Kevin for all your doggy behavior needs.

I was nervous at first because my buddy and I have never been apart literally. The staff was very professional and was able to reassure me he would be safe. The facility actually was more than I expected. It was neat, highly organized, and all the dogs were well behaved. The accommodations they had set up for my dog, was top notch. The staff got a full background on my dog including his likes and dislikes. I can't say enough good statements about this business. I am truly a long term customer now.

We brought our sweet Remy girl to the puppy play date at Kennelwood on Page, and she had a blast! The staff was amazing and made us feel reassured when dropping her off for the first time. I highly recommend going to this location to anyone with a new pup as socialization at an early age is so important. They also took photos during the visit so we could see our pup interacting with her fur friends!

This is the second dog that comes here. Doc who is missed terribly loved this place. Went 5 days a week. If he didn't go he would pout that day. Bella who is with us now just gets so excited when she gets to go. You can tell she had fun when we pick her up. When she first started she never had interactions with other dogs and was scared. Now she can't wait to get inside. Made a huge change in her. Highly recommend!
