If i could give Christine and Downtown Dogs 10 stars I would !…read more This is the BEST doggy daycare in the city BY FAR (and I've tried a few) and you can tell the staff truely care about the dogs and are passionate about their job. The facility is very clean and has different sections for the dogs to hangout and play in opposed to just putting them in an open space like other doggy daycares do. Christine knows what she's doing :) to keep all the dogs happy. You can tell they really care about the wellbeing of your dog :) I have a little chihuahua with seperation anxiety so doggy daycare is my only answer while I'm at work. I took my pup to a small dogs only daycare and she would always come back smelling so bad and running for the water bowl when we got home & seemed stressed. so I knew I had to try a different daycare and I'm so glad I found Downtown Dogs! I was a little hesitant bringing my small pup to all sizes doggy daycare but the staff know what they are doing! Christine is a dog trainer, a good one and it shows. I pick up my pup from Downtown Dogs and she's so confident and happy, she loves going there ! I can see the difference in her behaviour. If you need a trustworthy doggy daycare, bring your dog here! They go above and beyond !

Totally don't know how I haven't left a review for DownTown Dogs yet…read more Christine, the owner and head trainer, is basically a dog-rockstar. On my dog, Sam's, first day of daycare with Christine he came home with a report card detailing what he did for the day. Cutest thing ever? I think so. After having some questionable dog daycare experiences at another establishement (see my other reviews) I asked Christine if I could come early or late to get a tour of the facility, meet her and the staff, and decide if it was the right place for Sam. Christine was MORE than happy to comply, and Sam went to daycare there for 2 full years, 3 days a week. We have also taken agility and outdoor fun classes with Christine, which were both SUPER fun. Another really key thing to note is how much Downtown Dogs cares about the community. A few months ago I got an email request for help with preparing food packages to be given to street youth to help feed their pets. Christine has been key in getting literally thousands of pounds of dog and cat food to people who can't otherwise afford it. Basically, downtown dogs is excellent value, top quality, and one of the best places for dog daycare. The class sizes (ha) are usually 15 dogs, and there is onsite grooming available.

To be honest I have never owned a breed that need to be groomed. I took any aussie doodle in and…read moreshe looked like a mop because it's so hard to find groomers. We were quite worried about the how our dog would be treated or how she would behave. Once I meet the owner and watched him with my dog my daughter and I were much more relaxed. Well we picked out lil beast and we're overwhelmed on how good she looked. I don't know what he's using for shampoo but my dogs coat is so soft we might change her name to butter. Thanks to Ferrell I dog looks great

On Wednesday, February 21st, my 5 months puppy had an eye injury and he had to go through eye…read moresurgery. The goal in dropping my puppy off at the daycare was training + help my dog with separation anxiety. My dog has only been to the daycare , 3 Wednesdays, February 07th, 14th and 21st. On Wednesday, February 21st, As per Ez dog's owner, Farrell Augustin, the dogs were drinking water when a fight started between the dogs and one of the dogs pushed my dog with his paw in my puppy's right eye. The dog's claw went inside the right eye of my dog. Since then, My puppy went through eye surgery, he has been taking medication daily + visiting vet every time. The day that the accident happened, Ez dog owner had 10 dogs in his daycare: 2 small size dogs including my puppy, and the rest were medium and big size. The owner didn't even know which dog had attacked my puppy because he said that he turned his back to take his cellphone to capture a picture of the dog's drinking water when everything had happened. I asked the owner if another staff member was with him when the accident had happened and the owner said that the person who works with him at that moment could not handle the situation and he/she has left the daycare to get some fresh air. I never saw this Ez dog's staff at the daycare except the owner. I am addressing the following questions to Ez dog's owner: - How could he accept 10 dogs at his daycare with only one person looking after all the dogs? - How could he train my puppy watching 10 dogs playing at the same time? - How could he do the grooming at the same time of the daycare? - Why don't he separate small breeds from medium and big breeds to guarantee the safety of the dogs?My dog is a 5-month-old Shih Tzu mixed poodle. - How could he have only 1 or 2 staff looking after all the 10 dogs? - Why don't you have a camera monitoring your place? - Where was this second person looking after the dogs that I have never seen? - Why don't he separate dogs by size while offering water? - Do you have insurance if an accident happens? If yes, what your insurance says about the accident with my dog? - When accepting a dog at the daycare, at least observe the dog's behaviour 3 times before giving the dog full access to the daycare. Only 1 day to evaluate a dog for being ready for the daycare is not enough. Imagine if this would happen on the first evaluation day of the daycare? Farrell, you need to create ideas / strategies to build a safe place for the dogs.I can be responsible for my dog, however, you are responsible for building a safe place for the dogs as everyone wants to drop off and pick up their dogs healthy and happy.

We took our dog out to WAGSVILLE today just to check it out and see if it was a good fit. All I can…read moreis: wow. Beautiful property, very securely fenced. Had a good chat with the owner Barash; he has a long history in the hospitality business so that assured me he'd look after our dog well. We also were very impressed at the limit on the dog numbers found at WAGSVILLE. He outlined the dogs' daily routine for us - they get an excellent amount of outdoors time whatever the weather, just modified when it's snowy or rainy or hot. We will take our dog over for a stay about once a month and then leave him there for our next big trip in November. He's going to love it there. Nice big kennels in a clean, secure, well heated building - and of course , enough space for dogs to run. Senior citizens and small dogs have their own exercise area, safe from larger more boisterous dogs. Easy to get to on Bowen Island, and the island's veterinarian is close by.
