STAY FAR AWAY. Dawn is very unprofessional. When you initially get her on the phone, she seems very…read morefriendly and personable, but over time you learn that she's self-absorbed, ignorant, rude, opinionated, catty, and a complete waste of your time. Whenever I called, she talked non-stop for over an hour, without letting me get a word in, about things that were for the most part irrelevant to me. She raved about how long she'd been running her "business", how "professional" she is, how many clients she has, etc. But once she gets you hooked and you dish out the cash, you quickly learn that the talk was all BS. I've never been more disappointed with a daycare provider in all my years of using this type of service. If you're going to support someone's business, do it for someone who actually deserves your money.

I have been using the service of Dawn's Doggie Daycare for the last 2 years and have found the…read moreservice to be exceptional. The passion and dedication of the owner surpasses any expectation that I would have for a daycare for my dog. She is willing to take my pet anytime which includes boarding and she is very flexible in her hours. Furthermore, my Bernese Mountain dog has received numerous behavior training sessions and as a result, my dog has become a well behaved member of our family. Not only that, Dawn also grooms my dog most days he attends. I completely trust this daycare and would highly recommend it.

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.

This turned out to be a real challenge. My dog is super high-energy and was marked as having behavioral issues, so I started with just short 3 hour stays at doggie daycare. Even at that I was told he gets too grumpy with other dogs and expressed separation anxiety. We worked with a trainer and a behavioralist but still had issues at daycare. It was getting to the point where I didn't think I would be able to leave him, but then I found PNWK. My dog, Nikan, absolutely loves it there. They have huge outdoor runs and all of the staff are very knowledgeable about dog behavior and care. Can't count the number of times I have used their services and boarding, both short- & long-term. And... with no issues! It warms my heart to hear reports such as, "we can put him with any dog, he just loves to play". PNWK is my only choice for doggy daycare and boarding, even though they are an hour drive from home.

I come from the dog world and used to groom and work in kennels, so I knew what I did and did not want when boarding my dogs.

They go crazy in the car when we're getting close and sprint in the door excited to see everyone. Was so happy to have found this place because my dogs don't do that with anywhere else.

She approached My dog and hit him in the side with her hand and growled at him a few times. My dog was so scared he was hiding behind me shaking.

If someone is doing this in-front of the parent of the dog,I don't want to think what she can do when parents/ owners are not around. Not only I am not going to bring my dog to your daycare,I will make sure I will tell everyone I know about your training and approach so they stop bringing their dogs to your day care as well.
