Krista and her family will never know the impact she has had on our life and how much she meant to Koda. If you want the perfect family to watch your dog, then you have found it here. Koda had been having trouble for a couple days and when krista came in the room she perked right up and wagged her tail and bayed as if she wasn't sick. If you need any more evidence than that, you won't find it.

We have been looking for a daycare closer to home for our one year old puppy. This seemed like a…read morenice place. She went for the introduction day and all went well. There were no issues with her fitting in with the other dogs. When we picked her up, we noticed the handler aggressively correcting her with the leash (negative reinforcement). We had understood the daycare had a positive reinforcement policy. Beyond this being a bad training technique, it is useless with our dog as it makes her more excited. We did not say anything to the handler and brought it to the attention of the owner privately to see what was their opinion. He responded that both us and our dog are no longer welcome at his business.

It was brought to my attention recently that I write pretty critical reviews about pet care places…read moreon my Yelp. I am a pretty protective dog dad and bad experiences tend to stick out, so I thought it was time to write about where we found that we are happy with! One day while at the Bowness off leash park, there were quite a few more dogs than usual. Turns out it was "park play day" where the daycare brings the dogs for some playtime in the park. The owner was there and taking pictures of the dogs, as it turns out he is also a pet photographer! Our dog turned out to be pretty photogenic and got some good pictures. My girlfriend got information about the daycare and the next week we started taking him there. The building is a good size inside and outdoor play area as well. On hot summer days there are kiddie pools set up where the dogs can jump in and cool down. The facebook page is updated often with pictures and videos of all the dogs so we can check in and see all the fun being had while we are at work! Brian, Janice and all their staff are amazing. They always tell us a bit about what our dog did, who he played with and such. We have never had any issues with the daycare. It is reasonably priced, with multi day packs available to save some money. They also do regular nail trims for him, sometimes without us even asking! Brian also has a professional photo studio where he does amazing work with the dogs. We took ours in for a Christmas photo shoot and ended up getting amazing pictures and Christmas cards done. I would highly recommend Back in the Pack, and I'm sure my dog would too!

Initially I wasn't going to leave a review "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say…read moreanything at all" however having read the responses to reviews by the owner doesn't appear they take any accountability thought I'd share our experience. Our dog went for one day after which our daughter said to our dog while walking out "Moms not gonna let you come back here" The staff had told our daughter your dog will need to wear a belly pan because he's marking too much and they would have put one on him but didn't have one that was big enough! I called our old daycare from the City we used to live in and the only explanation they could fathom was that they didn't want to clean up after him, they then stated can you imagine how hard that would be on your dogs skin sitting in an essentially spoiled diaper. I believe this company is cliquey glad our dog only went once have since moved to a new Daycare and when I told them what happened they incredulously said "well he's a dog, that's what they do"

But they have issues with barking dogs at this daycare. It is next door to other businesses that complain about the barking. They should have considered this before signing a lease there. We have been called away from work to go pick the dog up from daycare because of barking, he was kept in the office away from other dogs when he barked, and the worst was someone used a bandanna to tie his mouth shut preventing barking. I should mention, he is not a problem barker, he is a 9 month old dog and sometimes yes, he does indeed bark. So if you have a dog, who barks, DO NOT use this daycare! We kept giving them a chance and they kept saying how much better he was, and that he is "a great daycare dog" Got another call the other day to get him when the landlord visited. Velvet, the owner said he had to go and hung up the phone mid conversation. Last straw. We will NEVER go back there. After speaking with other dog owners at the parks, we are very aware that we are not the only ones who have had issues with this place.
