**Absolutely amazing experience with Mutty Paws Academy!**…read more We were in a bit of a pinch while vacationing in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The boarding kennels we normally trust back home in NH were completely booked, so we decided to bring our dog, Moose, with us and find a doggie daycare where he could stay while we visited some of the attractions that weren't dog-friendly. I found Mutty Paws Academy on Google and called to explain our situation. From the very beginning, they were incredibly kind, understanding, and accommodating. Even though we were tourists from out of town, they were willing to welcome Moose into their daycare program and work with our vacation schedule. Then, because apparently our vacation needed one more plot twist , Moose got sprayed by a skunk the night before his first day! I called Mutty Paws expecting that we would have to cancel, but instead they were so understanding. They told us that if we gave him a good bath at the Petco Self Wash, they would still take him. They even allowed us to drop him off later than normal so we had time to get him cleaned up. Because of the smell, he had to spend his first day doing daycare solo, which they were completely fine with. And they went above and beyond by giving him **another bath at no charge**! The next day, Moose still had a little bit of that lovely skunk smell lingering , so I assumed he would have another solo day. But the staff evaluated him and decided he was good to play with the other dogs. He seemed to absolutely LOVE it! When we brought him in for his second day of daycare , he was happy to go in and he returned tired and content. We had also scheduled him for a third day, but after everything we had already spent replacing things, doing endless laundry, bathing the dog, and ultimately upgrading from our tent to a cabin because of the skunk disaster, we decided we didn't need the third day. I called that morning to cancel, and once again, they were incredibly understanding and **didn't charge us a cancellation fee**, even though it was last minute. I honestly can't say enough good things about Mutty Paws Academy. They were flexible, compassionate, accommodating, and clearly cared about making sure Moose was comfortable and happy. They turned what could have been a very stressful situation into something we could actually laugh about. If you're visiting the Old Orchard Beach area and need a safe, caring place for your dog, I **highly recommend Mutty Paws Academy!** We are so grateful they were willing to help us out, especially after our unexpected skunk encounter. Moose definitely gives them two paws up!

I had a very bad experience here. I was told one thing and a very different day happened for my…read morepuppy. He was left alone in a crate in a "cabin" with no toys to chew. I was told he would have a playmate, that didn't happen. That cabin is a room with nothing in it. I was told later there was miscommunication about his day. He was traumatized for being left alone and I was charged $80. I got an email that my puppy was spilling his water in his bowl and panting after they told me he swallowed a metal hook that was on the crate they put him in. I am pretty sure all puppies spill their water also why was a metal hook put anywhere near his crate in a room unattended. They double lock the crates so the dogs wont get out for "safety" yet they leave them alone to chew the lock and swallow part of it. They all seem fearful of everything and not experienced with puppies or how to do business. We went over everything the day before what his day would look like. His day was nothing near the plan we went over. They still had the audacity to charge me after all of that. This place is not worth the money they charge not even close. In response to this email screenshot I posted, of course he is stressed he was kept in a crate all day and he just swallowed a metal clip. I told the owner and the shift lead the day before, I don't crate my puppy, they reassured me he would not be in a crate at all. That wasn't true. They could have called me or text to tell me this. Because it was an email, I received it later. They told me because he is not fixed he was kept alone. They shamed me for not having him fixed yet, he is a young puppy! Over all terrible experience. These people are mean!

She hung out in a corner by herself and clearly did not want to go back. We did not think we would ever put Evelyn in doggie daycare thinking she would never like one either. Then I heard about The Bark Yard from a friend who loved this place-as did her dog. We decided to try it with Evelyn. She absolutely loves going to this fabulous facility. I say facility but really its like a big comfy place for Evie to play with other dogs. The groups are small and dogs are placed together based on personalities, etc Its kind of like driving your young child to school and have them run off with their friends forgetting to turn around and wave at the you, the parent. Evie never looks back. I'd say this is a true sign that she loves this doggie day care for its staff, the other dogs as well as the nurturing environmentshe is surrounded by. Thank you, Bark Yard, I would give you 100 stars if they'd let me. Thank you to all of the staff and the owners. We think you rock! Thank you. Elisabeth

From the moment we walked into this adorable store, we were greeted by some of the friendliest staff we've ever met. We explained that we were there to use the dog wash, and the employee immediately showed us to the bathing room, explained how everything worked, and made sure we had everything we needed. The process was incredibly easy and stress-free. Our dog was such a good boy during his bath, and he even got a treat when we were finished! As owners of a giant Lab, finding a convenient place to bathe him can be challenging, but this experience exceeded our expectations. My husband and I will definitely be bringing him back for future baths. He smells amazing, looks great, and surprisingly didn't mind the bath at all. Highly recommend Super Dogs and Cats for anyone looking for an easy, enjoyable self-service dog wash experience!
