We have used Antler Creek twice with two different dogs for a couple hours of daycare a few years…read moreapart while kayaking the AuSable River out of Mio. We always provide health records when leaving a dog, and because we travel a lot, we always make sure our dogs have every vaccination under the sun and that they are up-to-date. The facilities at Antler Creek are what we would expect with a kennel, but sadly, both times our dog came down with bordetella after being left at the kennel. Fortunately, it was mild each time, because our dogs had been vaccinated, but they still got sick. It is possible that each time the dog got bordetella somewhere else, and it is called "kennel cough" for a reason; but it is quite a coincidence that our dog caught bordetella both times we used this kennel several years apart and the incubation period was right for the kennel to have been the source. It is a guess, but although we cannot be sure, we suspect the runs are not cleaned between "guests". The first time we left our dog for about 8 hours, and he could hardly get out of the run before he peed and pooped. Apparently he had never been let out of the indoor run the entire time he was there, and he was just expected to eliminate in the concrete floored run. Sadly, we have found nowhere else to leave our dog in the Mio area, so now when we are kayaking the AuSable, we just leave our dog with a trusted dog sitter near our home for a few days. This review is unfortunate, because we think with just a little effort, this kennel could be very nice, and it seems to be the only place to leave a dog in the Mio area.

I have been using this kennel about once a year since they opened. I called in July to make a…read morereservation to drop of my dog on Aug 8. I said that I would drop him off early. I arrived with my dog at 8am on Aug 8th. The sign in the window indicated they were OPEN. I was met in the entrance by the female owner and was given a verbal tongue lashing for being there so early. My dog, his bed and blanket, and bag of food was taken from me. She opened the first empty kennel she came to, threw in the bedding, put the dog in the cage, slammed the door shut, and threw his bag of food on the floor, and went back in her house. The kennel was dark, and she never removed my dogs collar and leash from him. After sitting in the car contemplating this, I decided to go back in and get my dog. I went back into the kennel, turned on the lights, and took my dog. This whole time, the owner never came out of her house to see what I was doing. Although I would never do this, I could have turned loose every dog in the kennel, or could have taken any one of them with me. Why were these dogs still in complete darkness and unattended at 8am? No dog should EVER be put in a cage with a collar and 6 ft long leash still on it, and in the dark no less. I will never be using this dog kennel again....ever.

After work, I would pick her up and she ate her dinner heartedly and slept hard! Not one time did I feel the need to exercise her more!

My wife and I both have had dogs all our lives. But we never took the time to train them properly…read more When our old dog died, we knew we wanted another dog or two. This time though, we wanted to train them. Our vet recommended Drop the Leash. I liked that Valeria came to our house, rather than taking the dogs out of their own safe environment. Within minutes of Valeria working with the pups, they were responding to her instructions. It just got better from there. We took the six week course and not only did my wife and I look forward to Valeria coming, so did the pups. The end results were more than we imagined. We continue to work with the pups, now that the official training is over. Drop the Leash gave us, and our pups, the tools to make our lives together better. When we decide we can't live without another dog, we will call Drop the Leash before we go to pick the dog up. I highly recommend calling Valeria for your new dogs or dogs that have happens you want to break. She will get the job done. Greg & Vickie Baker
