When we got our new puppy we wanted to make sure she was well socialized and used to spending days without us in case we both end up with office jobs again (I work from home). She's routinely gotten praise and she comes home the happiest and the most tired. And also stinky, but people who leave a bad review for a stinky dog are ignoring that when a dog plays hard they're rolling in dirt, water, and spit, let alone if you've got one with a penchant for sticking their head in a "stream" (Riza). For us, when we toured the facility was very clean, and they take and post pictures daily of all the pups and even with all the dogs running around all day it's always super clean. The staff are all super friendly and seem to really love their jobs -- or at least really love the dogs so you'd never know. Central Bark is also on the ball with keeping track of vaccinations & will mention if you've got something close to expiring - an added perk for sure since it's easy to miss an email from the vet. For safety reasons, Central Bark asks that you come on as regular a schedule as possible - this keeps their play groups fairly consistent and let's the dogs develop friendships and not be constantly introducing brand new dogs to each other every single day. It also helps with your own routines at home. By doing this, we've found that Riza has made her own friends and has a few doggies that she just LOVES at daycare. It's always fun to see the regulars in the pictures with her. I love them, I think their prices are reasonable and well worth it, and I hope to let Riza come to daycare for as long as we possibly can. Attached are photos from central barks Facebook page of Riza playing in their facility

They seemed unwilling to acknowledge their scope of practice could be enhanced. Disappointing vet visit and worse customer service. We took our new rescue dog here because it's closer to home than our previous vet. When we first called to get an appointment, no one answered in the middle of the week in the middle of the day. I left a message, but got no answer. I called again and we got an appointment set up. When we arrived, the service was very friendly. For a new client appointment, it wasn't very thorough. Dr. Buley did not examine our dogs teeth, paws, rear, or ears, and did not request a stool sample. Our dog moved away as the vet touched her, and she didn't try to examine her more. We left dissatisfied, having paid $150 for a vet to have baby talk with our dog. We then took our dog to another vet, which diagnosed her with two types of parasites, which were successfully treated. I called back here to try to get a refund, because the vet visit was not cheap, and to let them know that their exam was not up to par so others wouldn't have the same experience. Again, I had to leave a message and call back later. After speaking with the front desk people, they said that they would talk with the owner about issuing a refund, which I understood. A week or so goes by, and no call or email from the owner about a refund or discussion about the appointment. I call again, and have to leave a message. When they did call back, they did not acknowledge that the exam should have been more thorough, nor did they seem interested in our concerns about the visit. Very disappointed!!!

Before I get started I want to emphasize that the prices are VERY reasonable. We paid similar…read moreprices at our last facility for 8 years, which we loved, but did not get this level of care or oversight like 24/7 cameras, updates and pictures. Anyway, we just moved to Minnesota and tried P-K Pet Resort & Spa for the first time this past weekend. Since we don't know anyone here yet, we didn't have a backup plan if things went wrong--and our pets are truly our children--so their safety and happiness were our top priorities. From the moment we arrived, I was impressed. I was invited to tour the facility and was pleasantly surprised by how clean and quiet it was. At most boarding and daycare places, you hear lots of barking and commotion, but not here. Instead, there was soothing music, TVs for visual stimulation, and every dog I saw looked happy--wagging tails, relaxing on their beds, or enjoying their private patios. We've always boarded our pups together because one of them, Newt, has separation anxiety when she's not with her brother, Samson. The staff took my concerns seriously, asking about food aggression and making sure safety came first, but they also respected my knowledge of my dogs. We agreed that if there was any problem, they'd be separated. I appreciated that balance of caution and flexibility. Our dogs got cuddle time, outside play time, and their own outdoor patio space. We also loved having access to a live camera feed--Samson especially enjoyed the patio! On top of that, we received thoughtful updates letting us know the dogs were doing well, eating, and showing no aggression, so they got to stay together. They even joked, asking if we brought the right dogs since I had been so worried beforehand. Overall, P-K went above and beyond to make us (and our pups) feel comfortable. We felt reassured, supported, and most importantly, we could see how happy our dogs were. We'll definitely be coming back.

It was heartbreaking. The staff were spectacular and they wouldn't give up. Kept giving him fresh food, talking to him. Finally broke the ice with a lick mat covered in whipped cream. They sent a picture, he had one side eye on Alex while he licked. Between the live feed, emails, and phone calls, we were able to check on his progress. What a wonderful experience. We were only going to be gone for a few days, so it was reassuring to see his progress. Once he started eating we knew everything was going to be okay. Just a great experience, much more than a business, a real service provider.

I take a holistic approach to dog training. Strengthening the human-dog relationship and teaching life skills is the main focus of training sessions. Obedience is not our main focus. My approach looks at the unique individual sitting in front of us. A one-size-fits-all or quick-fix methodology has no place in dog training. My training plans include realistic goal setting, management protocols and enrichment. We teach new behaviors as needed. Every plan is customized to address client goals and dog needs. My training philosophy is grounded in rewards-based methods and I do not prescribe to methods or tools that rely upon pain, force, coercion and punishment. I focus on understanding why the dog is doing what he is doing and meeting the needs that are at the root of the issue. My clients come away from sessions with a new understanding and a stronger bond with their dog(s).

My first impression was that inventory was sparse, just a few leashes to chose from none suitable for my Lab. To be fair the primary focus of this business is not retail sales but dog sitting.

The message that sent to me: I'd like you to leave because I have better things to do than deal with a customer. As for the dog sitting aspect of this business the place looked clean and organized. The indoor play area that I saw looked fine and there were a few small dogs playing in it, I was told that there was another indoor pen and an outdoor pen with AstroTurf, but I did not see these.
