I recently had to euthanize my dog Clarabelle of 16 years. She had lived a long and healthy life…read moreand that was in part of the excellent care she received from Hudson Road Animal Hospital. On the day we sent Clarabelle to the after life, Hudson Road staff could not have been more compassionate, caring and respectful to Clarabelle and our family. The minute we walked in the clinic they placed us in a room with low lighting, soft music and a comfortable blanket on the ground. We were informed about every aspect of the procedure and many times we were asked if we needed more time before each step of the procedure was completed. Clarabelle was given a sedative and we all had time to say our goodbye's before it started to take effect. The Vet Techs came in a few minutes later and started the IV and a few minutes later the Veterinarian came in and sat on the blanket with Clarabelle and gave her the final injection. It did not take long and Clarabelle was not with us any more. The Vet walked us through how the respiratory system is shutting down and we might see some agonal breathing. As we left the room the Veterinarian stayed with Clarabelle until we all left. Thank you to all the staff at Hudson Road Animal Hospital for the care you give our pets while they are alive and the compassion and care you give in death.

UPDATE (9/24/2024): I had a good chat with the owner and it sounds like changes are being made to…read moreaddress the phone, tech, and work culture issues. The situation was described to me as the perfect storm. I'm glad to hear that my unfortunate experience might help others after helping to identify things that weren't working. Again, my dogs were well-cared for thankfully. ORIGINAL POST: Poor service, poor communication, and concerning practices. *This was my experience as a first (and last) time customer. My dogs seemed ok but I was not impressed.* NOTES: - Only one person is vaguely trained in the computer system (new as of 9/2024) - I was almost charged double because of the lack of system training. - The Sunday pick-up window ends BEFORE 11am. - There is no way to contact anyone outside of "business hours". - The manager does not have access to all dogs (from how it sounded. I was told upon pickup that the manager conveniently came back from out of town at the exact same time and didn't have keys on her). PRO - accepts last minute reservations - reasonably priced (if not charged twice) MY EXPERIENCE I had a last-minute trip come up, so I was grateful that I could get my dogs into boarding from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. I received a call the day before drop-off to confirm our reservation. Check-in was when things began going downhill. Apparently there is a new computer system, so my dogs were not on the same invoice and I was informed that my card would need to be run twice to make sure both invoices received payment. Slightly inconvenient but whatever. Until I was informed that I would be charged for 2 dogs and 2 nights twice, doubling my payment. It took 3 people explaining that ($43+$39) for 2 nights charged twice was $300+, not $175 total. We had to completely redo the reservation before everything was settled. The worst part of this experience was the pickup. I was told to pick up between 10-11am. I hit traffic on my drive and pulled into the empty lot at exactly 11am. I got out of my car after rearranging luggage at 11:01am. I checked all doors to find them locked with no one inside or on the property and proceeded to call the website number to leave 3 separate messages at 11:03, 11:05, and 11:09am. THERE IS NO AFTER HOURS LINE AVAILABLE. The only person I could find on the property was a handyman who proceeded to call the manager. When the manager arrived around 11:15am, I was told that everyone is on break and no one would be back for a few hours (3pm was the earliest time when people would be back in the office based on what the manager told me), so I had to come back at 5pm. According to the manager it was my responsibility to call and ask them to stay "late" even though I was not told that this was the case during check-in. When the manager asked which dogs I was picking up, she immediately responded with, "Yeah, I don't have the keys to their kennel." I have boarded my dogs in Indiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, California, and Nevada. I have never been told that it has been my responsibility to make sure that I call to make sure workers are available during "open hours". Nor have I been told that the manager didn't have access to my dogs. That concerns me when my dogs have no one with them and the two people I could find don't have access to them. I understand that I arrived at the end of the pick-up window. I was more disappointed by the fact that I had informed them of my pick-up time, did not receive a call about changing that time, and there was no humanly way possible for the entire place to be locked up and vacated by 11am while staying open during posted hours.

Without their help, my 4…read moremonth old lab/Shepard would have grown up with no leash manners, no impulse control, continued biting/aggression, and would not have been potty trained! Funtastic K9 Training offers a wide range of selection in terms of training your dog, whether it be training a puppy or a full grown adult dog, or whether it's just a simple boarding situation. Either way, I am so happy that I trusted Lise and Mailee with my puppy, Pixie, as she was in their Puppy Board & Training for a week. As I am located 2 hours away in Duluth, Mn, I made the decision to put Pixie in Funtastic K9 Training's Puppy Board and Training program, and I am SO glad that I did. Lise & Mailee worked with Pixie intensively, they offer live updates on their Facebook page, as well as on their Periscope - where you can watch them train your dog through live videos, ask questions in real time, learn new tips, and listen in on their weekly Q&A periscope videos every Sunday! Lise and Mailee teach not only your dog, but you as well. Prior to training with Funtastic K9 Training, I thought that the dogs who had bad behavior were the ones at fault, when all along, it was often because of the bad behavior that owners taught to their dogs. Having picked up Pixie from her Puppy B&T, I can see the huge improvement that has come from training with Funtastic K9 Training for a week. Pixie now listens to her commands, is potty trained, has impulse control, enters her kennel when told, has threshold manners, leash manners, and looks to me for guidance in her next move/command. Even after training with Lise and Mailee for a week, they still offer guidance and tips whenever you need help with continuing the training at home; they make themselves available to help you whenever they can, and I - as well as so many others who have trained with Funtastic K9 Training - really appreciate it! If you are looking to train and/or board your dog, definitely keep Funtastic K9 Training at the top of your list! I guarantee that you will not regret it!!
