After spiraling down the rabbit hole, researching the various plethora of nearby daycare options…read morewith the important sole purpose to take advantage of a perfectly optimal socialization opportunity, to enroll my newly rescued/adopted puppy. All the current active staff working at this specific location have demonstrated & proven how extremely capable & exhaustively knowledgeable as trainers, dog behavior specialists, groomers, etc. They have exceedingly created a trustworthy controlled environment setting that makes me reassuringly safe to entrust the safety & wellbeing of my 4-legged son. They have gone above & beyond for my puppy & I could not praise/thank them enough for their time, energy & effort to nurture my puppy's confidence & needs. Including assessing & addressing his trauma triggers being bullied as the "runt" of his litter, that occurred prior to his rescue. I am thoroughly enthralled with their most adorable & transparently informative daily report cards that are released after their daycare reservation. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to cultivate & nurture their doggo-puppers development & overall wellbeing (with a heaping side of well deserved spoiled treatment)! Will definitely be a continuing member, as long as they will have Beemo & I, after we officially move to the PNW.

WOW! What a difference three weeks with Taylor and board & train at A Dogs Best Friend can make…read more Holy smokes. We are so happy and very proud of our dog's progress and have so much to thank Taylor for. Folks send their dogs to board and train programs for many reasons. For us, we wanted support honing previously learned skills, learning recall, and curbing a few unwanted behaviors such as excitedly lunging and jumping at people, fence fighting, and barking. We were nervous about so many things. What would we do without our boy for three weeks? Would his sweet and playful personality be the same when he returned? Could we stick to it and reinforce his learning at the end of it all? The three weeks away were tough. But we timed it with a family vacation which helped a lot. As for the dog we picked up at the end; Ozzie is the exact same amazingly sweet and playful dog. But he is so much more confident, calm, and responsive. He honestly seems like a much happier dog. Almost like he feels and shares the pride we have in him. And with the tools and confidence it has given us, we can now give him the fulfilling life he deserves. THANK YOU, TAYLOR! We look forward to continuing this journey with you.

Our 15 month old cattle dog loved her experience at Susie's, and we did, too. She'd been in a…read moreshelter for 11 months and isn't always sure of new people, so we weren't sure how she'd do at a boarding facility. However, the employees had exactly the right vibe for her because she went to them immediately and don't look back. The facility is clean and she was obviously well cared for. They didn't even think it strange when we packed a chewed slipper for a favorite toy- they knew what to expect from this precocious breed. We won't hesitate to bring her back when we go on another trip. A+++

I was traveling in Japan and left my 8 year old Labradoodle, Izzy at Howliday Inn. She had stayed…read morethere many times before. Unlike many other doggie daycares, Howliday Inn does not have the option to log into a webcam livestream to check on your dog. Furthermore, when you drop off and pickup your dog you never even see the environment where the dog stays. You wait in the lobby while they go behind closed doors and get your dog. I always thought that was a bit strange but I didn't see any other red flags. Well, this time I got a text from my son informing me that he had to go get Izzy. He got a phone call and they told him Izzy got in a fight with another dog and had to leave. This was shocking, as Izzy had never been in a fight or hurt another dog or person in her entire life. My son told me the other dog had to be taken to the vet, and Dylan, (the owner of Howliday Inn) wanted to speak to me in person after I returned from Japan to explain everything. I was shocked that they kicked Izzy out while I was on the other side of the planet, but I planned to deal with it after my trip. The next day I received an emailed invoice that simply said "Hi David, please find your latest attached invoice. Thanks, Dylan (Owner)" The invoice included $542 for veterinary care. Since my son had told me Dylan wanted to explain everything when I got back, I ignored the invoice. 2 days later (while he knew I was still in Japan) he reached out again by email to request immediate payment, and this time offered some details. According to him, the other dog was pawing at Izzy trying to get her to play and she didn't like it. She snapped at him, he snapped back, and Izzy then pinned him against a wall which resulted in "a small puncture wound" above his eye. Normally you don't got to the vet and get stitches for "a small puncture wound" but that's what they decided to do. Since my dog had NEVER been in a fight before, I have serious doubts about his account. I wonder if the dogs were even supervised. For all I know they found the other dog with an injury and picked someone to blame it on. I asked if they had video of the incident and of course the answer was no. While other facilities are so transparent they allow owners to log into a livestream, this place is so secretive you don't even get to see your dog's environment when you drop off or pick up. And they don't even have cameras to record in case an incident occurs. And if God forbid your dog does run afoul with them somehow while you are traveling they will call your emergency contact and tell them to come get your dog! Also, they forgot to give my dog's food to my son when he left his job to get her. This necessitated a return trip by my brother in law to get her food. The staff member he spoke with at that time told a very different story than the one I got from Dylan. That staff member said it was a "freak thing" that happened as Izzy and the other dog were trying to fit through a small passageway at the same time. Dylan has informed me that Izzy is no longer welcome at Howliday Inn and that's just fine with me because after this experience, I would never trust them again.

Paws down, my pup's favorite place to romp and play while I'm busy with the work-long day (and…read moresometimes overnight). I've been referred to Howliday Inn by more than one trustworthy folk and have had only professional and kind interactions with Dylan and every member of the entire team. I was super impressed when we first started to get a very warm and through introduction and tour and could tell just how much care and thought goes into all the details of this operation. During one daycare day, my pup went through a little (non-contagious) health episode and started showing symptoms while under the care of this watchful team who called me right away so that I could get him into the vet. We have enjoyed both daycare and boarding services and each have been positive. I always appreciate hearing updates about behavior observations when picking him up at the end of a day--truly demonstrates how much attention is paid throughout the day. Grateful for the entire Howliday Inn team and the loving and dedicated care they provide my best fur bud when I'm not able, and in ways I simply can't related to socialization and other dog play!

We weren't too impressed by the place we checked out right before this one, so I did more research & found this one that was similar. I liked that this place had trails, the dogs slept in cabins, & that she'd be able to run around all day & socialize with other dogs.. On the website i mentions that if their pickup/drop off times didn't work for you, that you can always ask. We wanted to time it so that we could drop her right before check in time at the hotel, which was passed the ranch drop off time. Brian was very accommodating in letting us do that. When first dropping her off, our puppy looked scared, but by the time we were driving away we saw her tail wagging so it made us feel better. Pick up day came & she was happy to see us. She came back smelling like a dog, so I'll take that as she had a good time On her collar there was also a cute keychain that said "I ran with the pack". Overall a good experience for us.

I'm posting this now after reflecting on my dog's daycare history over the years, as this was the…read moreonly facility where we had a negative experience. Several years ago, I brought my dog here for daycare. During one drop-off, as I was about to drive off, he was able to bolt out of the facility and ran across the parking lot (in the dark!). Thankfully, a passerby caught him quickly and he was not injured, but this raised serious concerns about supervision and containment during handoff. After that incident, I continued bringing him back to use up pre-paid passes. From that point on, he always refused to leave the car-which made me concerned. Staff later told me he had developed a humping habit and said that if it continued, he would not be able to return. This was difficult to reconcile with what we experienced elsewhere. After we finished our passes, we used another daycare in Beaverton, where he had no issues. Since then, we've moved states a few times and gone to multiple other daycares in different locations, and he has consistently done well without any behavioral concerns. I understand that staff and policies can change over time, so this may not reflect the current operation. However, I think it's important to share past experiences related to safety and how dogs are handled following a stressful incident.
