I was very excited about this day care, but unfortunately had a terrible experience. I took my dog here for their evaluation process, and all of the staff were kind and seemed initially very knowledgeable. Specifically, they seemed to understand that while my dog does enjoy playing with other dogs, he is reactive (i.e., he barks) at other dogs when he is on a leash (something that we have been working on with our trainer for the past year). They called me a few minutes into the evaluation process saying that my dog, and I quote, "tried to eat another dog" and maybe day care wasn't the best place for him. This seemed totally out of character for my dog, who has been to other dog daycares before and done fine. "Eating" another dog implies a bite incident, which is extremely serious and had me concerned. When I asked for more details about the situation, the staff said that my dog just barked and lunged at the other dog when they tried to introduce them on a leash (something that I told them he would do and is the worst way to introduce a reactive dog to another dog). I don't think that this place understands the difference between reactivity and aggression as they were very quick to put my dog in the latter category without actually understanding the situation and dog behavior.

I called today to inquire more information about dog boarding. I spoke to Will he seemed very knowledgeable, he answered all my questions and gave me tips on how to make sure my pup stays calm during his visit. I’m definitely considering taking my bulldog there. I really appreciated the time he took to answer all my questions.

Al and his amazing staff have helped us since 2005 with boarding needs, training needs, including helping a severely damaged rescue dog over come his past fears, and become a great member of society as well as our family. Along with a safe and an amazing time for another rescue dog to run off extra energy with her new puppy Pals at doggie day care. the time and money we have invested with Al and his team and that they've invested in our animals has never been wasted and has made us all better for the effort. If any of my friends ever mention an issue with their dog I always tell them if anyone can help it's going to be Al at Paws to play!💜🐾💜
