Just found Southern Pro Kennel and had the opportunity to use their dog boarding services. My 10…read moremonth old, 60lb, puppy Bolt stayed with them for 9 nights while the family was traveling. We are doing the month long training program in July so I had spoken with them and was familiar with Parker and Haley. They were not annoyed by any of my questions and Parker was very helpful in correcting some troublesome behaviors before we had Bolt stay with them. She came back leaner and with a shinier coat than when we dropped her off. I'll be posting another update once we do the month long board and train program, but I can say they are very affordable. While $1500 is no small fee, most other board and train programs are that or more for only 2 weeks!! Bolt is a Great Pyrennes mix so she has quite the independent streak but we'll see what magic Parker and Haley can work in July. I cannot say enough about Southern Pro Kennel. Their location is convenient to downtown but far enough out that they have a large amount of land to work with the dogs on. Look for my updated review and if you need dog training/boarding look at Southern Pro Kennel.

If you're looking for a place where both dogs and humans can have a good time, Play Wash Pint is…read morehard to beat. The park has separate areas for small and large dogs, which makes it easy for pups to play with dogs their own size. There is plenty of space to run, explore, and burn off energy, plus fun turf-covered mounds and obstacles scattered throughout the park. One of my favorite features was the water area. There are splash zones, water features, and pools where larger dogs can cool off while playing. As a tiny Italian Greyhound, I mostly supervised from a safe distance, but the big dogs seemed to love it. For the humans, there are plenty of benches and seating areas throughout the park. You can grab a pint, relax, and watch the dogs play instead of standing around a typical dog park. They also offer treats, toys, and other dog goodies if your human feels like spoiling you. Dogba's verdict: Great place to socialize, stretch your legs, make new friends, and remind your human that dog parks are more fun when snacks and drinks are involved.

Calling smoky mountain pet resort they were so friendly and informative. We ran into some issues coming down with the weather and the bad drivers. Calling the facility they were very understanding and helped us out. The outside of the facility was deceiving since it looked like a warehouse. inside was super clean and welcoming. This is a family owned and run operation. There are several generations running this kennel. Their love of dogs is very clear. Our dog enjoyed his stay and was pooped out on the way home which is always an indication for him that he enjoyed his time.

I visited a week before and really liked what I saw, met the staff and was told about the schedule. I booked the Presidential suite where all four could stay together, sleep together and play together as they do at home. I called daily to check up on and was given updates, even improvements on my skittish girl. I felt very at ease leaving them and enjoyed my vacation. What a wonderful staff who cares and enjoyed having my dogs stay. I will be returning.

I really love and appreciate the multiple astroturf areas that are both inside and outside (helps greatly with our dog's contact dermatitis to grass, as well as a little extra cushioning for her arthritis). Prices are very fair and there is also a groomer onsite too. If you're looking for a boarding or daycare facility for your family pet member(s), I definitely recommend Barks and Recreation.

My girlfriend's Laberdoodle on the other hand is a lot more work. Mayra is known as the best Doodle groomer around and for a good reason. My girlfriend has taken her Laberdoodle to 8 or 10 different groomers and we have always been disappointed with the results. Mayra has a special touch especially when it comes to Doodles. Every time she takes her Laberdoodle there the dog comes home looking better than the last time. She groomes her Laberdoodle the way that breed is supposed to look. She is amazing. Our dogs love to go for a ride in the truck. Every time the see that they are going to the Barking Lot they get super excited. Mayra and the whole staff treat our dogs like they are their's. When we go to pick them up they don't want to leave. That shows us how much the love and care for our fur babies. Whenever we go on a vacation, we always board our babies there. They take such excellent care of our girls. They have made new friends and old each time. They have so much fun playing with the other dogs that we think they would rather live there sometimes. If you are looking for an excellent place to groom and board your babies this is the place. We have been coming here for over 4 years now and we will never go anywhere else. I just want to thank Mayra and her staff for taking such amazing care of our girls.
