Sammy's ears perk up and tail and body start wiggling & wagging when I say, "wanna see your friends, wanna go to Silver Dog?" I'm retired now and no longer need doggie daycare for work, but will still bring Sammy here to play for 1/2 day or full day care at least once or twice a week. He loves the staff and when I pick him up after play they hug and cuddle him goodbye. He gets so much needed playtime and his social skills with other dogs are great! I've recommended Silver Dog to my friends. I have several family and friends who bring their dog here. As for the staff, they are so nice and I feel like they're more friends than business acquaintances.

On 2/15, we went on our first vacation in 10yrs. We had trusted HA and chose to board our dog,…read moreJasper, there. On 2/20, roughly 50 dogs of various sizes, ages, and breeds were let out together before bed. Reputable facilities separate dogs at least by size for what should be obvious reasons. We were assured that bigs and smalls were separated, important to us bc Jasper had never been around small dogs, except at size separated dog parks, where he rushed the fence toward the smalls - despite what the owners say, they were aware of this. On 2/20, Jasper was showing signs of distress. His distress signals were ignored and he allegedly lashed out at a 10lb, 16y/o dog(why was a tiny senior out with 49 other dogs?). There were only 2 employees monitoring, 1 in training. idk what happened to Jasper at this time. It took 45 minutes for the injured dog to get to the ER vet (AERC). He did not survive. I am so sorry for their loss. This is a horrific tragedy, which could have been avoided had the facility acted properly. My heart is broken for them. HA said they were going to review the footage they had. HA had also told us that we needed to contact AERC. Multiple AERC staff told us the same thing: This is not Jasper's fault. This happened due to the negligence of HA. They also told me that HA had approved treatment and accepted responsibility for all financials. The staff who took the dog to AERC were evasive when AERC asked what happened. I was never contacted by any eyewitness about this - after trying to get the story from the owners, I turned to social media, and only yesterday felt I finally had a semi-complete picture. The extensive footage claim is a lie. Whatever happened, happened in a blind spot. We had a friend pick up Jasper ASAP, concerned for his safety. I had emailed HA with this info, and also that I would not be paying, given the situation. Jasper was given to our friend, but they didn't ask her name, let alone check ID. They said it was fine for her to go without paying. The owners have since threatened to file a claim for this, saying that my dog was safe and well-cared for during his stay, which I dispute. The friend who picked him up said that Jasper was timid, shaky, exhausted, and had a subconjunctival hemorrhage in his L eye. W/o of signs of infection, this generally occurs because of trauma. I'll never know what happened. As of this writing, his eye is still healing. The owners claim that we didn't tell them about Jasper and needing separation with small dogs, that we refused to pay the hospital bill - all lies. Anita told me explicitly that HA policy was to separate by size, and she told AERC the same thing. But I have found that it's common for the owners to allow undertrained staff to monitor packs of 50-60 dogs. You can see it on the stream. On 2/21, I took several screenshots of a small dog out in the yard with several large dogs. No staff. This dog wasn't the first to die while under their care. This is the SECOND time something like this has happened (this was confirmed by public safety officer). I have submitted a report to several agencies and animal welfare orgs. I believe that HA endangers dogs and staff through patterns of negligence, bullying, and lack of training. I have been in communication with DVMs and other animal professionals about this situation. When Anita responds to this with more lies, I'd like you to know I have receipts. Jasper is a dopey, loving, playful, athletic hound. I have never seen him display an ounce of aggression - I have two children under 5. I am an experienced dog owner. I have never seen him act out because I have never put him in a position where his distress became overwhelming. HA doesn't train staff, nor do they take accountability when they make mistakes. This isn't the first dog to die in their care, but I think it should be the last. I also wanted to shout out HA employee Katie E. Thank you for posting that review publicly, online, and in writing. I let Anita know how helpful it was in establishing a pattern of negligence and lying at HA.

Thank you!!

We actually have a dog daycare facility 5 minutes from our house, but prefer to drive the 20 minutes from Apple Valley to Woofdah. I'm so impressed that Woofdah prioritizes keeping their dog : staff ratio lower than anywhere else I've seen - at some other places, it feels like they stuff as many dogs as possible in with very little supervision, but not Woofdah. Because that's important to me, I had no problem putting him on the waitlist and waiting a few months to get him in. All the staff is not only friendly, but also so attentive and caring towards all the dogs. It isn't uncommon for me to go on the webcams and see a staff member playing with or giving attention directly to Hank. Their orientation process gave me peace of mind that Hank wouldn't be at risk by another dog's dangerous or disruptive behavior, as they watch behavior closely during orientation day. Their facilities are awesome and include cage free boarding and a pool. I love being able to have them handle baths and nail trims while he's at Woofdah. At the end of the day at pick up, they always surface any abnormal behaviors and sometimes fun stories about what Hank was up to during the day. Couldn't recommend Woofdah enough!
