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+++

Finding the right daycare for young, sensitive dog is hard. Mary Ellen's "Wag Along" made it easy…read more I was nervous about finding a doggy daycare for my young golden retriever, Cooper. I had taken a new in-office job, and I didn't want him alone all day. I also didn't want an industrial kennel operation, like taking him to work in a factory. Those places tend to have a high volume of dogs and high worker turnover, and I really didn't want him around aggressive dogs or picking up stressed-out behaviors with inexperienced dog handlers. Wag Along is the opposite of all that -- a real home with a real yard, a section of her own set up just for the dogs. The owner, Mary Ellen, runs the whole operation herself, so you know she is the point-person for any questions or concerns. She's located conveniently right off the 205, perfect for anyone that passes through SE PDX. What struck me at first about this dog daycare was the pick-up and drop-off scene. The dogs surround Mary Ellen with happy tails, all of them relaxed. There's no barking, no chaos, no wound-up energy. None! That doesn't happen by accident. She clearly screens for temperament and knows how to keep the whole group settled. Cooper adores her. I call "dog school" and he lights up when he knows we're going. He comes home so happy, blissfully tired, and all smiles -- his Fi tracker shows he's logging serious miles in that yard. It's great after a long day at work; I don't need to take him on a walk. Cooper sometimes falls asleep on the drive home. Mary Ellen also has a mobile groomer come by to Wag Along regularly, which is a great bonus.... My dog comes home handsome and smelling fresh! Boarding has also been very easy. Mary Ellen asks for their daily food portions in a baggie, any special blanket or bedding, and she takes care of the rest. She also administers medication, if needed. I have planned vacations with Cooper staying at (what I call) "dog camp," but Mary Ellen has also been accommodating when a last-minute boarding was needed for a medical emergency. She's someone to trust. Mary Ellen is professional, communicative, and the dogs in her care are obviously well loved. I trust her 100% with mine. Honestly, if I could write Cooper into my will to go to her, I would. I'm back to working remotely; but Cooper is still going to Wag Along a few days per week. It's positive stimulation and exercise for him. I am not getting anything special out of this post. I am writing it because Mary Ellen / Wag Along is a gem amongst some real dog turds. If you're looking for a home-based daycare/boarding where your dog will be genuinely cared for and not just contained, this is it.

Mary Ellen is rude, unprofessional, and temperamental - please never leave your dog in the hands of…read morethis person. This review is delayed, but I never forgot the stress and horrors Mary Ellen put me through. I had a delayed flight, and she threw a fit that I would be unable to pick up my dog in the afternoon, as originally planned, but instead that I would pick my dog up first thing in the morning. When I showed up in the morning, Mary Ellen was outside organizing her recycling and refused to make eye contact with me, or say hello. My dog, she was locked in a kennel outside the gate with all her stuff. Immediately I noticed my dog had some white sticky goo on her backside, and when I got home I immediately bathed her. When I texted Mary Ellen to ask what that was, she said it was sap. I'm not even sure if she has a tree in her backyard. I worried (and still do) that something terrible had happened to my dog. And then, she had the gall to text me back and say I owed her an extra $25!!! Exhausted and stressed, and having seen how unstable and temperamental she is, I paid her in order to not deal with her anymore. Please note - the prices on her website are not accurate. There's a handful of negative reviews on her Yelp and Google reviews. These reviews are consistent outlining her cruel behavior to pet owners entrusting their dogs in her care, and lack of patience and respect - this woman is not well. Please consider that only because the negative reviews are few, doesn't mean they're not true.

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.
