We took our 18 month old Goldendoodle for obedience training. We loved it and so did he. We will sign up again for his “middle school” session.

Erin – Middletown, DE

Parker and Chanel always come home from daycare happy and sleepy! Everyone there is so sweet and it’s obvious that they all really care about the pups. I love that I can check on them online while I’m away at work too! Great facility, great people! It’s the first place I’ve taken them where I would feel perfectly comfortable boarding them.

Erika – Middletown, DE

The staff is helpful and friendly.
Our German Shepherd likes it there to.

Our dogs have been boarded, groomed and to day care. They are happy to be there and we have no guilt leaving them. The staff is a pleasure to talk with, loving to our dogs, and very accommodating for last minute plans.

Our dog Bailey has been to daycare several times in the past year & she’s always had a great experience! Bringing her to daycare has allowed her to socialize with other dogs in a controlled environment. Highly recommend all the staff, they truly care about the animals they are caring for!
