    The staff here is so friendly and attentive. My pup loves his days at K-9 Country Club. When we get close to it he gets excited. I could probably just open the door for him and he'd run and check himself in if he could. I always feel safe leaving him for the day and when I pick him up, I can tell he had a good time because he's so tired from a day full of play. They also offer grooming services, which comes in handy. Whether it's just a nail trim or full-blown grooming session, I've never been disappointed. Rates are reasonable and really, I can't put a price on my peace of mind that he is being taken care of while I'm at work.

    Her eye that was from a bite from another dog in the runner. Paying 700 for her to get stitches.

    This is now the second time my dog has been neglected in their care. First time the trainer said she was too distracted to stop my dog from chewing the water bucket . She lost half of her canine tooth and 800 in vet bills. NOW the second time she was there for 1 hour and I received a call my dog was injured they are not remorseful nor do they care. Her eye was ripped from another dog in another runner? If they saw this happening them supposedly "fighting" and nobody stopped it or watched until my dog was hurt. They stand by the fact they aren't reliable for any damages the contract makes it very clear. But I'm wondering whose actually watching the dogs? I send her here to have fun and to be safe but the complete opposite has happened. Nobody has called to check on her matter of fact Faith told me to let them know what happens. The first time she was injured they offered me 10 days free daycare and offered to "train" her for her "behavioral issues" so not only are they negligent they tried to blame a dog for being a puppy and being in their care and they knew what happened was wrong. I will never recommend another person to ever come here very upset with how they handle business.

    Unfortunately, this place really let me down. I left my dogs here feeling very positive about the…read moreplace, even if it was in a very odd location. My dogs seem fine and were probably well cared for. When I picked them up, however, the owner greeted me with "I need to have a talk with you" in a confrontational and, quite frankly, rude tone of voice. She accused me of not telling her enough about my dogs. Actually, at first she accused me of one of my dogs not being potty-trained (which he is), but then it was that I didn't tell her that one of my dogs can occasionally chew things. He chewed up a yoga mat they usually board at other places with that he'd never chewed before, and this made them angry because he got diarrhea. UPDATE: He got diarrhea because he picked up whip worm from their facility. He was all clear when I had him at the vet two weeks prior. I don't know why she seemed so upset about it (she never said why), but the worst part was, several minutes into being negatively lectured by the owner, I spoke up finally getting rude back at her and said "I'm sorry I didn't tell you every little thing about my dog. You were very busy in the lobby when I dropped off, and I had to leave. I just want to pay and get out of here." Her daughter yells at me "Don't you talk to my mom that way!" In a manner that suggested she was going to start a fist fight with me. They've been in business long enough to know what can happen when pets board and what they need to know about people's pets. They should have a survey with simple questions addressing their areas of concern. Simple solution! Otherwise, how could I possibly know what to focus on when you ask me "Is there anything I need to know about your dogs?" In short, they were highly unprofessional and not good with people. They are extremely cheap compared to other places (about half the price). I really wanted to like the place, but left feeling very upset.

    Sorry to see so many one-star reviews. OK, the place isn't pretty and the staff are sometimes…read morefrank. I'd much rather someone be straight with me and good with pets, which is exactly what they are. I've taken my dog here twice (once for 10 days, once for 5) and I couldn't be happier, nor could my dog. I've spent a total of 10 minutes in there and my dog has spent (quick math) 21,600. Who is more important in that context? I'm very happy with their care for my dog, their honesty in dealing with me and her minor issues, and her health and happiness each time. And especially given their prices, I really can't imagine going anywhere else. For anyone on the fence I recommend giving them a shot, checking your ego at the door, and seeing what you get in return. I got quality animal care from true animal lovers, people really good with dogs, for a great price.

    I called this facility to tell them that I had adopted a scared/aggressive dog from the shelter. I…read moreexplained everything to them that my dog was extremely kind to me, but so scared of other people. I asked if their classes would help me. The trainer assured me that they have had many dogs like my shelter dog! I have had another dog before and was only used to training a puppy, not a dog that needed special help (such as a rescue dog). We went to a class and they told me I needed a prong collar. They said that is the only way to fix my dog. Sharp tugs to get him in line was what he needed.....a firm hand...etc. In order to teach him to lay down you put your foot on the leash by their collar so they cannot get up! Happily my dog was kicked out of class after the second class! They said they were to worried to have him there! I was so embarrassed! I had explained his situation to them before we even showed up! They even requested i return their "caution dog bandana". What!!?? I then called TAPS, where I rescued him, to recommend a trainer to me. They gave me the name of the person they work with. This person was a godsend to me and my dog. The trainer had so much education in dealing with scared dogs. The trainer taught us how to use positive reinforcement and highly motivating treats to get the proper behavior. I cannot believe how far my dog has come! I often am bothered by the "choke collar" and methods that Heartland taught. I hope everyone reads this and finds a more positive approach.I'm so proud of my pooch! My dog is my world. If you feel the same please do not go to this facility!

    I have taken four dogs to this facility for a total of 13 classes. In response to some other…read morereviews, I have never seen anyone REQUIRE the use of a training ("choker") collar or prong collar. Occasionally they have been highly recommended, as they can be a very useful tool if used effectively. I have, however seen some dogs do amazing on prong collars and if used appropriately, (which is taught), they are an amazing tool to teach your dog to walk calmly on a leash. A couple of easy, gentle corrections can have your dog learning very quickly. For those that I have seen insist on using a buckle collar during the learning portion of training, their dogs have continued to pull on the leash and drag their handlers until the very last class. Exactly what they're trying to avoid by taking the class to begin with. All my experiences have been positive. I had the "military man" instructor at one point, and I never saw him choke a dog. Our training collar broke on my giant breed as well on a very light correction. Come to find out, it was a bad batch of collars they had ordered. I have seen some of the worst dogs come out amazing in the end with confident handlers who are not afraid to make a correction when needed, and realize that corrections ARE needed at times. The instructors have always been friendly to the customers and the dogs but will not hesitate at times to be truthful if it's needed. I've no problems returning to Heartland as I've always left happy and with a well trained dog.
