We take our pup almost once a week to Doggy playcare for the whole day. He has so much fun with all of the dogs by the time he gets home he is exhausted. It's a great way for him to interact with other dogs and she's all of the energy he has as a 1 year old pup. I highly recommend Diamond Creek for boarding as well. Our boy loves his suite and he was able to play with other dogs plus they walked him a few times a day.

Took our dog for the 1st time in October and left her there for a week and when we came back she was scared of us. She also bit me which was very unusual. We felt that she might have separation anxiety but the next time she stayed she came back to us very very skinny and with very loose and bloody stools and they would not give us an explanation as to why. Do not recommend.

Danielle is an excellent groomer. She is not only meticulous in her grooming skills, she is also exceptionally patient and loving to each and every animal she grooms. The facility also offers many types of training classes with a very nice indoor arena. It is certainly worth a bit of a drive to take advantage of all they have to offer.

My young Norfolk Terrier, Louie, absolutely loves going to Canine Sports. He is an only dog, upon getting him, I promised that he would have a chance to interact with other dogs, and people. I found the perfect place for him at Canine Sports. He is absolutely wild about their Doggie Play Care. The staff, is friendly, professional and caring. When I board Louie there, I am confident that he is loved and well cared for.don't hesitate to try them. I know you will be pleased, and feel comfortable that your pet will be safe and well cared for.

3-9-2017~ we attend the breed handling class offered on thursday evenings. for us, it is a 90 minute drive, but believe it is well worth it. the instructor, sarah, is very professional. she is calm, knows what is required by judges, and gives you insight. sarah takes time with each handler/ dog, and gives individual corrections so each person can improve their performance. we find her class 'tops' of the classes we have taken. thank you.
