Report
Absolutely terrible, they opened the door and when the dogs were barking (because they're dogs) I heard the staff including the very rude old lady at the door yelling at them. No one is allowed in and I guess it's been a rule since forever, it's so sketchy and I feel so bad for those dogs.

Report
Awful first impression! Very unfriendly! The lady, possibly the owner, older with longer white hair, that answered the door, was rude and very short with us as though she did not have the time and as though we were bothering her. Not to mention we heard her yelling, possibly at the dogs when we walked up and when we walked away from the front door. She wouldn't let us in, acting as though she was hiding something. Super scetchy vibes, we will NOT be returning not seeking services for our puppy there. The only reason I have this place 1 star is because it's required to post a review.

Lynette is an amazing trainer! She truly cares about creating confident, educated, responsible owners. She is encouraging and goes the extra mile to help dogs and their owners build a more trusting relationship. She adjusted to the pandemic and has been able to continue providing wonderful training via Zoom. And it works!

My dog loves it here & she won't allow anyone else to trim her nails. She loves the daycare & has been boarded here. Great care, friendly, trustworthy with your fur baby.
