They are responsive to calls and texts in between classes, so you never feel like you're on your own. With dog trainers, you get what you pay for and this is the best money we've ever spent. I only wish we trained with them with our 2 previous St. Bernards! We did the 14 day puppy board and train aka puppy camp. Our girl returned well established in her training. We're continuing with off leash training and it's been highly successful thus far. A well trained dog is a happy dog AND a happy owner!

The outdoor play area is great along with the indoor play area for when the weather is bad, no concrete floors like some other places I visited prior to choosing this one. My lab is off the rails with her energy level and they do an excellent job matching her with other dogs in her play group (energy level) - they both come home happy every time- and cannot wait to go back and play with their daycare buddies (both 4 legged and 2 legged). The staff is extremely attentive to all of the dogs needs from what I have experienced over the past year- that is how long I have been bringing them for daycare (2 times a week), overnight, some training and grooming. The CB team does a fantastic job taking care of my dogs during the day and overnight, giving them cuddles, treats and lots of playtime-

We had a geriatric pet some years back, and they actually taught him (an old dog) a new trick while my wife and I were out of town. Now that I have retired from 22 years of active duty military service, I was blessed to be awarded a legitimate (lots of training, and from a good bloodline) Golden Retriever service dog. While she can legally go with me pretty much anywhere in the US, if my wife and I travel to remote locations (such as only accessible by small sea plane/helicopter) due to weight constraints and cabin size, we can't bring our "golden girl". Internationally, some countries don't recognize service dogs as well. So Dog Daze has us covered, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. The only downside is that if you do things last minute, you absolutely won't be able to use them as a resource, because responsible people, who love their dog more than you, planned ahead (sarcasm). On a serious note, plan early, but they can possibly accommodate emergency situations if it's not a busy holiday, especially if your pets shots/vaccines are already in their system. For active duty/veterans they offer 10% off. We really are fortunate to have DD as a Columbia resource, when immediate family or friends aren't able to.

You enter into a gated parking area, so you can open the door and let your dog out, with out putting a leash on, because they can't get out of the gate. Then the dogs go into ANOTHER gated area, which is the dogs playground. A HUGE area where the dogs can run and play freely. Special care dogs have even ANOTHER smaller area that in inside of the LARGE area. They are separated into their own play ground. The kennel area has plenty of room, and the dogs are secure and safe. My dog Luke is 3 1/2 and he's been going to Claire at Dogs Best Friend since he was a small puppy. She's the ONLY Boarder I use.
