Proceed with caution and we MISS KIM AND ED! (Previous original owners who sold this daycare to this jerk who only cares about the bottom line..... money and overbooking). Your staff have disclosed a lot over the few years at pick up. I've been bringing my German Shepherd to Canine Connections for over 8 years, and I always trusted them to provide a safe, caring environment. Unfortunately, my most recent experience has completely shaken that trust. When I picked up my dog, I noticed visible bite marks--injuries that clearly occurred while in their care. What's worse, no one called me, there was no incident report, and nothing was mentioned at pickup. I had to take my dog to the vet for treatment out of my own concern. After nearly a decade of loyalty, I expected far better from Steve and the team at Canine Connections. Mistakes can happen, but failing to communicate when an animal is injured is unacceptable. This isn't just a customer service issue--it's about safety, responsibility, and basic decency toward the animals they're trusted to care for. It's heartbreaking to say this after so many years, but I strongly encourage other pet owners to rethink bringing their dog to Canine Connections. If something happens to your pet, you deserve to know about it immediately--not find out after the fact, with no explanation. A few pics but there was more Injuries- bites on arm and all around his neck. It was Clearly a dog fight that Steve is claiming "nothing happened". Mind you my dog came home crying and shaking in pain. Vet gave antibiotics for 10 days plus pain meds washed out all wounds and closely monitor has we needed staples but declined due to the need to put him to sleep.

They just got back from their 5-night stay at OBKC, and I couldn't be happier. Because it's a smaller facility, OBKC's staff has more time to devote to each individual dog, which made me feel much more confident in leaving them there, especially with my older pup's health issues. The consistent routine each day, individual playtimes with staff, and constant access to clean, climate-controlled space and fresh water clearly kept my girls happy during their stay! You also have an option to spoil your pup with little frozen treats, and proceeds go to local charities. I received updates (with beautiful photos!) whenever I asked, and they took extra precautions to keep my older dog safe and comfortable. The pricing is very reasonable compared to other facilities, especially considering the personalized care. They came back to me clean and happy. One was even more excited to play with the staff on her way out than she was to see me! Scout and Cherry say thank you so much for taking such good care of them.

I couldn't get an appointment anywhere, called many vets, but they took me in. My 16 year old cat Yoshi was sick, and he had been healthy his whole life. As it turned out he was ill and had to be put down to avoid a painful death 2 days before Christmas 2024 (one year ago). Dr. Felt and the entire staff treated me like family. They had never even met me and Yoshi before that day. I bawled my eyes out and spent time alone with my cat before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I can't thank them enough for their kindness and compassion. They are absolutely the best and I will never forget them! Cindy Clarke

The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.

REGARDING RESPONSE TO MY PREVIOUS REVIEW: (attached to this…read moreresponse in photos) the owner's response COMPLETE AND UTTER BS!!!!!!!!! I have NEVER worked at a kennel and would NEVER apply or recommend anyone to apply at this place. I was NOT YELLING or SCREAMING. As I said in my review, it was the owner that was screaming at the dogs in the back. The police were NEVER involved. I walked out on my appointment day without ever speaking to anyone because they did not respond when I rang the bell. And there was no one at the front desk. I am disgusted that this person is trying to cover up a bad review with a lie!!!!! This is just additional evidence that this is an unethical & non trustworthy business. My previous review is 100% accurate and truthful! If I could have given negative stars I would have. In addition.... Why doesn't the owner explain how they LOST A DOG THAT WAS IN THEIR CARE ?????????? AGAIN..... BEWARE IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING TAKING YOUR PET HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (SEE PIC OF MISSING DOG BELOW) IN ADDITION..... I AM ANTICIPATING THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED UP WITH MORE LIES FROM OWNER. I AM DONE RESPONDING TO HIS NONSENSE.
