The play areas have cloud based webcams that they have an app for their customers to view, I was able to check in several times on my vacation to see that they were up and about. Bark Ave was also more affordable than places like camp bow wow while offering the same type of services (group play, camera check ins, photos posted daily) Overall great quality care and a good price, 5 stars. Will definitely be taking out pups here next vaca!

So, it his first stay at Pet Smart Boarding. I also had them trim his nails. They did a great job on the nails, and my dog seemed like he enjoyed his playful weekend stay, as he passed out, tired and happy when we git home. Will definitely recommend their day care and boarding services to anyone!

They all monitor, engage and care for my dog and he always comes home tired and very quiet for the evening. The Owner Jim is very caring and engaging with the dogs and their owners.

It made for a very positive experience and we are very happy customers at Happy Dog! Highly Recommend!

We were looking for a new place to board our dog after moving to the area. Saw lots of positive…read morereviews so tried it out. The very first time we brought our dog in, the owner Jim made a point of mentioning "I've had problems with that breed in the past but I'll give her a chance" Our dog is a pit mix, we've had her since she was 10 weeks old. She had stayed at other boarding facilities and has been well socialized, we have never had any issues with boarding or being at dog parks etc. We had our dog stay twice, when picking her up the other staff members always said she did well, never reported any issues to us. When we called to arrange boarding the third time, the owner answered and informed us he would not allow our dog to come back as "she doesn't do well here". No other information was given. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 because we really liked the place, the dogs can go outside and the staff is generally kind and does a good job. It is a shame though that the owner is so prejudiced against certain breeds, and I feel that someone who really has that much experience working with dogs (as he claims) would know not to judge a dog based on breed but judge on a case by case basis. And if our dog really did have an issue, why were we not told when it happened? I find it hard to believe our dog randomly had an issue at this boarding facility, but never had any issue before or after at any other boarding. TL;DR: owner is prejudiced against bully breeds, will tell you to your face and then not allow your dog to come back

They are well schooled in dog behavior and take great care of the dogs in their care. When my dog displayed not cool behavior with other dogs, (humping), they worked with her with their trainer , for an affordable price, to make sure she could continue to be a pack member. I highly recommend. They love all dogs and want dogs in their care to have a positive experience. Lucy gets a lot of exercise and loves day camp days.

She individualized the training since every dog is different and sent us individual group reminders of that day's lesson.

We adopted our dog about a year and half ago and unfortunately even after hiring several other trainers, we were not having much success. He is extremely fearful and basically scared of his own shadow. He is a sweet dog to the people he chooses but with strangers barked and was protective of me. He's come a long way with Alese's training and I'm sure with continued training by us, he will get even better. We highly recommend Alese @ Maes and Bluey. Laura and Gregg
