- CLCamille LynchNov 16, 20255.0Thank you so much for taking such good care of Luna. She wags her tail every time we come for drop off. You are all wonderful to the dogs!
- RCRachel CollinsNov 13, 20255.0Club pooch is great and I feel like my dog is safe and happy when he goes there. The only thing I wished that would be different is the ease of scheduling and not having to schedule so far in advance. But I 100% trust that my dog is in great hands and the staff is wonderful!
- RRRhondaNov 13, 20255.0I love Club Pooch as does my dog, Hank. The staff are amazing. Hank comes home from daycare exhausted after a day of play. His favorite time of year there is when it gets warmer and he has access to the swimming pools. Hank has enjoyed spa days with Melanie. He did training with Ray. He’s boarded when we’ve gone away. Hank gets so excited when I tell him he’s going to Club Pooch for the day! I trust the staff implicitly with my baby. They take wonderful care of him.
- MFMicaela FritzNov 13, 20255.0We absolutely LOVE Club Pooch! Our puppy is enrolled in their daycare training program where he gets training and socialization with other pups/dogs. Ray (Club Pooch’s trainer) has been incredible with him — patient, consistent, and so knowledgeable. Teddy has grown so much in confidence and skills in a short amount of time. Jamie, the club manager, is amazing too! She runs their social media and always posts the cutest photos and videos of Teddy’s adventures. It makes my whole day seeing him having fun with his friends and practicing new skills. It’s so reassuring knowing he’s in a safe, loving, structured environment. The entire team truly treats Teddy like family. If you’re looking for a place that combines excellent training with a warm, welcoming vibe, this is it. We’re so grateful we found them!
- KBKate BatzAug 15, 20255.0We never have to worry about our dog while we’re away. They do a great job keeping them active in a fun environment, but offer plenty of rest and downtime so she’s not overwhelmed. Highly recommended!
